"This was my first time at the restaurant and how disappointed I was with the food. The rest of my party had been in October last year and at the time had nothing but praises for the food. However, they have just changed the menu and the new one is missing some Greek items that were on the previous menu and I think should still be on the Greek part of the menu. The dishes in question were baked feta cheese starter and the chicken souvlaki. As I was intending to have the feta cheese starter I had to make another choice and opted for the king prawns in Ouzo, which were very nice but would have personally preferred them out of their shells as the dish became very messy to eat. I chose the Lamb Kleftiko for my main. This is my favourite Greek dish and one I choose regularly on my holidays to Greece. I love the way that it is slow cook so the lamb just falls apart in your mouth. Unfortunately, this was not how the Lamb Kleftiko at Petra’s was. No way was the lamb slow cooked. Instead there were slices of lamb that had obviously been cut off a joint after in was cooked and place in the dish. The meat was tough and the dish just so disappointing. My partner had the chicken gyros as the chicken souvlaki was not available. He said that it tasted ok, but the presentation was very lacking. It came on a meal tray and the food laid onto of a piece of paper, so felt that we were at a fast food location rather than a restaurant. I couldn’t fault the service and friendliness of the staff. However, my personal experience of the food means that I will not be returning in the foreseeable future unless their food improves greatly."

Have been to this restaurant several times. Menu is extensive and food is generally very good. The chef only knows how to cook Steak well done but otherwise good. Service is quick but you don’t feel pressured to leave at the end to allow for another xitting.

Cute little night with my husband and two under 4. Service was slow, it took around 29 minutes for our drinks to arrive, however the food totally made up for it. Fresh and delicious. The children's portions are really big and both our children enjoyed their pastas. We both ate from the Greek menu, all tasty, the tzatsiki was amazing.

Been here a few times, the service was good. The mains was nice but as my kids always get potato skins as starters we thought we'd try Petros equivalent but wow 3 pounds or 4 they were some crisps sprinkled with paprika, that was shocking really. It's a shame as that poor start sort of colors your evening . The rest of the meal was better.

The staff were so friendly, and assertive the manger even came and asked how our food was she was very happy cheerful person. The food was absolutely amazing couldn’t be more happy with the service. We went for a friend’s birthday and the Manager heard we where celebrating a friend’s birthday and they came out with a slice of chocolate cake with a candle in would 100% recommend to family friends

UPDATE, MAY 2024: Last week it was our twins 18th birthday and we book Petros because we all love the place and we had wanted to celebrate with the whole family, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and the Grandpa. We were not disappointed. The staff and the food were exceptional and the night was perfect. Thank you. We have been to Petro's a few times now but last night was for our sons 16th birthday. The service was friendly and we didn't have long to wait for our food and drinks and the food was exquisite. Just the right amount to make you comfortably full. We all had a great time and got to use the Petro's voucher we'd received at Christmas making an already affordable meal for 5 even better.
