Chef Kal Darres
Ancient Bounty
Named for an ancient city in a distant homeland, Petra Restaurant is Kal Darres’ culinary connection to Jordan. The Eastern Mediterranean region is as famous for hospitality as it is for piquant and delightful food. Both are available in abundance at Petra. Nothing in the upscale yet understated dining room can prepare you for the explosion of flavors in Petra’s cuisine. The secret to the restaurant’s success is in the spices. Most of the spices come right from Jordan at the open-air spice shop – which explains why each dish served at Petra is fresh and authentic. Petra's recently acquired liquor license and new, fully-stocked bar provide the perfect accompaniment to your meal. Start with Fatayer, puff pastry dough stuffed with either three cheeses or filled with filet mignon, onions & pistachios. Try the Mediterranean Chicken, strips of boneless chicken pan sautéed finished with cream served atop penne pasta. And for the more adventurous – the Middle Eastern Platter has a little bit of everything . . . hummus, baba ganoush, fatoush, tabouli, ouzzi and cheese fatayer – a perfect introduction to this type of cuisine. The Kabobs are marvelous, in whatever form: soft-as-butter beef tenderloin; fragrant lamb; shrimp & scallop; or vegetable. The entire menu is low-fat and built on fresh ingredients . . . so that means you can go ahead and indulge . . . have dessert!
