The charm of this place is undeniable. The place has a nice dimly-lit, laid back vibe that makes me…read morewant to hang out all night. You seat yourself, and there are options of tables, lounge areas with couches and the bar. We opted for the bar. A friendly lady came over to us and helped us with the first round and then another for the second round, who was equally friendly. We ended up trying their hummus as well. The hummus was creamy and flavorful with a light almost whipped texture. We found out from the owner they make their own, and you can definitely tell it's got that homemade touch. The owner was also very friendly and told us some history about the place and took the time for some chit chat with us. I will have to come back when I have more time and try their extensive list of hookah options, especially the cappuccino flavor.

The hummus and taziki sauce were both tasteless. The pita bread, which they gave plenty of, was also not fluffy. The fries though were extremely well seasoned. Decent portion size for the price though! Service was spot on. Both the owner and server were delightful.

Naara is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in San Antonio…read more In business for a long time, Naara offers a wide variety of Mediterranean food, keeping the out authenticity of the flavors in every plate. The food selection is large. I would recommend you to look at their menu, but my favorite is the chicken shawarma plate. Every time I come here this is my selection. They also have pizza and they are very well known for having one of the best pizzas in town. With fresh ingredients, their food is just amazing. You will enjoy it as much as me. If you love, hookah, they have hookah service and you can enjoy it in the big patio they have. If you're looking for something more quiet, they have an indoor dining room and you can see there's always a students here doing homework or research and enjoying their hookah. They are located on I 10 and Wurzbach, and they have a large parking lot, you will also find in the same location a very popular Mediterranean market call Alibaba where you can find all kind of Mediterranean food and ingredients I hope you enjoy Naara as much as I do.

You have a choice of sitting inside at either a table or couch setting. You can also sit outside on their patio which looked really cool. I sat inside and being my first time patroning I felt the service could have been a little friendlier and helpful. Thankfully the people who I sat next to were super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me. I love the decor! The lighting and couch/benches gives it just a kiss of Mediterranean feel. For food, I tried the gyro plate and it was really good. For drink I had a hibiscus raspberry hot tea. For hookah I think it was a combo of flavors. It was nice and I was really intrigued with the process and the coals. This place is open late nights so it's a good hangout place and it's quiet enough for studying or homework. I think I'll definitely return especially for the tea and hummus.

I kind of felt bad going almost the time of Iftar. He was very welcoming and suggested what to order. We got some saffron tea before dinner. And then we got our food. All I can tell you is go and order the Karahi! My mouth is watering writing this review! I could not get enough of it I asked if they can make another dish similar to it. And the chef delivered! In pictures they look the same but it is different sauces. I wish I wrote down the name of it. It is a spacious place with a stage. I joked with the owner telling him I will come and crash a wedding. It seems it is a venue/restaurant and they have traditional seating on the floor I will definitely be back.
