  “Spectacular place you should totally go to (Book in advance to secure a spot as it gets busy) Totally recommend the Fattoush Salad, Lamb Shank and Chai. The flavours are amazing and service is fantastic! Enjoy!”

  “The perfect restaurant to enjoy some traditional Lebanese food! Every dish packed with flavour, drinks amazing, atmosphere always fantastic with some great middle eastern music constantly on the speakers but it might be a bit too loud for some. This is our safe spot to take anyone that is visiting Cambridge and we can ensure they will leave satisfied, stuffed (as the portions are generous to say the least), and with a smile. Many vegan options as well which is always a positive. I recommend going for many different small plates especially if you are vegan (mezze style).”

  “Finally visited the most recommended Jordanian restaurant in Cambridge, and it definitely lived up to the hype! We ordered the marinated chicken served with rice topped with nuts and pomegranate, along with the Dejaj Kofta with a spicy salsa. Both main dishes were absolutely delicious full of flavour, perfectly seasoned, and easily a 10/10! For drinks, we tried the mango crush and iced tea, both of which were refreshing and complemented the meal nicely. We also had the Basbousa for dessert. It was good, but extremely sweet for my taste. Overall, the main dishes were outstanding, and I would totally recommend this place if you’re looking for delicious Jordanian food in Cambridge! ❤️”

  “This was my first time experiencing Jordanian food. There were many intriguing items on the menu, but I asked for a recommendation because I am only in Cambridge for a short while and may not get another chance to eat here. I think the dish is called fatteh. It was delicious, beautiful, and had such an interesting blend of flavors and textures. I can't see how they managed to put all these ingredients together for only £21.50, without even considering the skill required. The savory lamb, aubergine, and crispy bread were cooked prior to assembling the dish, so it seems to be very labour intensive too. Even if I could find a recipe and the time to make this at home, I would spend at least £40 on the ingredients... pomegranate, toasted pine nuts, cashews, almonds - and that's just the top! I enjoyed this meal so much that I tried to get the owner to move to Hawaii so I can have this food again.”

  “Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here. We had all the mezzes and then a couple of koftas. All delicious though watch out for the chicken one, it's spicy! Jordan Chardonnay was also worth ordering.”

  “We have eaten at the restaurant a number of times and really enjoyed the quality of the food so we asked Little Petra if they could cater for a small family event. We could not have received better service! Yaseen invited me into the restaurant to discuss our requirements and offered a range of possibilities and did a fabulous meal with starters, main courses and salads :-) As we don’t live far from the restaurant, they kindly delivered it for us and the food was beautifully presented, extremely good and very plentiful! It made for a great wedding celebration with plenty of leftovers to enjoy. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the service and the meal! Thank you so much Yaseen!”

  “Absolutely amazing experience! The mixed BBQ was full of flavour, perfectly cooked, and the meat was so tender and juicy. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft inside one of the best I’ve had. We also tried the kenafeh for dessert and it was incredible, fresh, warm, and perfectly sweet. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Definitely coming back again!”

  “Great great Middle Eastern restaurant in Cambridge. Me and my friend G had dinner here when I was visiting her and I was genuinely surprised by all the delicious flavours I got to try that night. No wonder it is one of my friend's fave restaurants in town. Little Petra has a lovely vibe and the waiters are very friendly, overall I really recommend it!”

  “The best Lebanese food I have ever had. The falafel was light while also super filling. The ful was more liquidy than I’ve had before but the lemon flavor was incredible. The star of the show was the mango juice, a large portion and unlike anything I’ve tasted before. The servers were friendly and the restaurant was busy. My only qualm was the prices, definitely on the pricier side but perhaps it was worth it. They offer discounts if you pay in cash.”
