Hospitality Tradition

Welcoming Seoul to the Levantine Table

Founded with the spirit of generous Palestinian hospitality, Petra serves international travelers, Muslim visitors, and Seoul locals looking for authentic Middle Eastern comfort food.

Co-owner Khaled personally welcomes guests into the warm dining room on Noksapyeong hill, often sharing freshly brewed Arabic spiced tea and sweet Basbousa dessert with diners.

“Khaled was incredibly friendly and welcoming. His hospitality really stood out, and he even treated us to tea and dessert on the house. Truly authentic Arabic food in Korea.”

“Absolutely great! I had the Lamb Mandi, tabbouleh, and for dessert bas bo sa. As much as I love Korean food, I needed a switch up, and this place is fantastic. Truly nice and kind owner.”
