Has a very good side cucumber dish very refreshing will be going back. Visited the area and wanted some fast Greek food dish and this was the spot
This is Monterey's little kept secret hole in the wall Mediterranean cuisine that is a must if you're visiting the city and need to find a quick bite to eat. The Greek salad is my favorite as is the falafel and gyros. Come by and support this establishment--you won't regret it.
This is a nice place. The food cost is high, and I was surprised it was about $50 for two meals and rice. Especially because it's a small place. I was also surprised that my receipt for each item was higher than what is listed on the menu. In addition, $7 for a side of rice seems excessive. The cashier was polite and the food came out fairly quickly. For a Thursday evening at 7pm there weren't any other patrons and I wonder if it was the chilly evening or the high prices. Over all the vegetarian combo was good. The fish and chips were ok - not great like a fish place but ok. The pita bread was from a store and a bit stale. The stuffed grape leaves were ok. The hummus was really good. I wonder if the y lowered the prices a little and maybe had some specials, people might be willing to go there for a meal. But with the high price I probably won't be going again.
Solid food. I know there is another Mediterranean place on Alvarado, I have been there to. However Petra is a local spot and never misses. I am in a rut and always get the Gyro. However they have plenty of other options. Service is straightforward, efficient. The ambiance is pretty minimal. I usually take my Gyro to go and eat it in my car. I have also eaten at their location in Pacific Grove (sit down) it was excellent.
Great place to grab a bite if you're in the area. The gyros were quite tasty and not dry or salty. Good amount of sauce and veggies given. My family and I enjoyed it. It's a small space with no bathrooms, so not great for large groups - more of a take out or quick bite. Service was friendly. I'll come back when in town and craving Mediterranean!
Great little spot in downtown Monterey. The Mediterranean food was excellent. The Gyro combo plate was spot on with a soda for a bit $15. I think this is my favorite in downtown Monterey for lunch/dinner. It is simple and very good.
