[RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK] Petra Palace offers home cooking from Jordan
In 2004, Yaser Ghanayem opened his first restaurant, Petra, on the hillside opposite Noksapyeong Station in Seoul's Yongsan District. The restaurant was an instant success, and in no time Yaser was on the phone with his brothers Basem and Khalid at home in Amman, Jordan - trying to convince them to move to Seoul and open more restaurants. He proved persuasive and in 2007, the brothers opened their second restaurant, Petra Palace, also in Itaewon.
