"Petra House has served Mediterranean food with traditional decor for 11 years with a focus on Jordanian specialties like chicken soup with rice and broken noodles and mansaf — a large plate filled with tender morsels of lamb in a tangy yogurt sauce served on top of pita covered with basmati rice and toasted almond slivers. Booths with low-slung bench seating and cushy pillows gathered around a large gold metal disk table make for cozy family dining. There’s also a kids’ menu with chicken nuggets and pasta." - Rachel Pinsky
