About Little Petra

Little Petra brings the rich, vibrant flavours of Jordan to the heart of Cambridge, offering an authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine in a cosy setting on Mill Road. Known for its warm, family-run atmosphere, Little Petra is a beloved local spot for those seeking something different in their dining experience. The menu features a wide array of traditional Jordanian dishes, with standout offerings like mansaf, a fragrant lamb dish served with rice and yoghurt sauce, and maqluba, a comforting upside-down rice and vegetable casserole.

In addition to these hearty, flavour-packed dishes, the restaurant offers a selection of fresh, flavourful mezze platters, perfect for sharing and exploring a variety of tastes in one meal. From hummus and baba ghanoush to falafel and tabbouleh, the mezze options are perfect for anyone craving fresh, vibrant, and wholesome flavours.

For dessert, don’t miss their kanafeh, a sweet and cheesy pastry soaked in syrup—a delicious end to a truly memorable meal. Whether you’re a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or new to the flavours of the region, Little Petra provides an unforgettable dining experience that combines authentic food with a warm, welcoming environment.
