Everything I had ordered was delicious. Grape leaves, meat pies, gyro, baklava, fava beans (these were so good with pita) all wonderful and ready pretty quick. Everyone needs to give Pete’s Place a try!

Stopped into Pete's Place to get a smorgasbord of Middle Eastern staples the other day. I like to get a variety of homemade dishes, sides, dips and ingredients there, including the pita bread and some of the candies, little treats and desserts that they carry from other parts of the world. The baba ghanouj is bangin'; that's the first place I ever tried it but anything I've had since then, just doesn't cut it. The baba ghanouj is light and fresh, unlike store-bought brands that can sometimes taste metallic or bitter. Spinach pie, stuffed grape leaves, baba ghanouj, hummus, baked kibbi mini-footballs, nut-filled baklava, and pistachio cake for this order... add the meat pie for a well-seasoned update on the pasty we grew up with (apparently the Cornish pasty is a protected food in the EU, like champagne or asiago, who knew).

This place is like a breath of fresh air in the mundane food scene at Wilkes Barre, PA. At least it was for me when I lived there :) Except the shabby parking spots that are tough to maneuver during winter months, they don't have any other cons. This itself says so much about the restaurant. Food is consistently good, staff (including the owner) take the time to greet the customers and make them feel comfortable and service is very quick (Less than 20 minutes) My favorites were and still are falafel and mamoul cookies. In fact, I tried mamoul for the very first time here and got addicted to them. They're shortbread cookies (made with a special impression) filled with either dates or fig paste. Not overly sweet and made with the right consistency, I highly recommend them. Prices are fair and although they have a dine-in area, last I checked, they allow only takeout. And, their timings are suitable for lunch and early dinner, so plan accordingly.

Ya HABIBI!!! It's my Siti's kibbe (minus the pine nuts on top) I have been searching for a baked Kibbe all overNY, PA, Texas, Ghana, Toronto, buffalo- everything is this hard fried football. Blah! Found at last and so so good. Kibbe, bread, hummus, tabouli!!! This is it. I've been in W-B a few times but on weekends. I finally had my husband bring me home a takeout. So glad I did. This is the best.
