Pedimos comida para llevar, las hamburguesas muy buenas, usan pan normal,y las patatas se ve que no son congeladas. La comida árabe espectacular, se nota que la hacen ellos, repetiremos sin duda.

Fuimos sin muchas pretensiones y salimos enamorados. El servicio y el trato excelente. Pero la comida es lo mejor, todo casero, un placer para el paladar. Y tienen Palestine Coke por sí prefieres hacer un poco de boicot a coca Cola de camino Volveremos sin duda.

Petra's Lebanese food was delicious. We tried the menu degustacion, the portions were appropriate, everything was fresh and tasty. The waitress was really lovely: we came with our dog and she brought him a huge water bowl as it was a hot day.

Salimos tarde de una reunion y llegamos por casualidad un cuarto de hora antes de que cerrara la cocina y aun así nos han atendido de manera espectacular. Tanto el servicio como la comida un 10 absoluto. Volveremos sin duda.

Hacía tiempo que no comía comida árabe tan buena, no creo que haya nada igual en Santander. A mis hijos les ha encantado y nosotros hemos disfrutado de todos los sabores. Aconsejo dejar hueco para el postre, tremendo.
