Just had lunch at Noor Mediterranean and we were incredibly impressed. We're very familiar with the cuisine, and everything we tried was outstanding--beautifully presented, full of incredible flavor, and overall very elevated. We shared the muhammara, yalangi, falafel, baba ghanouj, zaatar, kibbeh and batata harra, and genuinely enjoyed every dish. The restaurant itself is beautiful--upscale and modern without feeling stuffy. The service was excellent, the music added to the atmosphere, and the patio looks like it will be a fantastic spot when the weather cools down. We're already looking forward to coming back with friends for dinner. Such a great addition to the area! read more

Our first visit to Noor and we were delighted with the experience. The greeting was warm and welcoming, the vibe and ambiance is just right, the service most pleasant and attentive, and last but not least, the food, a wonderful and authentic taste of the Mediterranean. It was brunch and we sampled dishes that all represented deliciously...Lobster Avocado Toast, layered with layers of flavor and texture, and Swish Tawook (skewered grilled chicken) with an amazing made from scratch hummus that made me want to lick the plate. We will be back for dinner sooner than later! read more

Very disappointed with both the experience and this response. We raised a genuine concern about undercooked food, and instead of handling it professionally, we were met with a dismissive and disrespectful tone. This was not at all about "freebies," we women own our own businesses! It was about food safety and basic respect. Your reply only reinforces the experience we had. I stand by my review. read more

Delish! Beautiful restaurant, creative cocktails. Wonderful food and presentation. My new favorite middle eastern restaurant- (almost) as good as Tatik. read more

My wife and I stumled upon this absolute gem of a restaurant tonight. From the moment you enter the ambience transports you to a relaxing oasis of sites and smells. The decor was obviously very well thought out. Soft neutral tones greet you with soft lighting but with table lamps to illuminate the menu choices. The servers were exceptionally attentive and full of personilty. This was a refreshing change in today's introverted population. Our waiters suggestions were all spot on. We enjoyed the Muhamra pepper dip and Batata Harra(a vastly improved version of potatas bravas). For our mains we enjoyed the Beef Shashlik (tenderloin) and the Lamp Chops. Everything was prepared to perfection! We could not believe that this level of dining was now available 5 minutes from home. I enjoyed the Medjool Thief Old Fashioned which arrived in a decorative box that released a faint cloud of smoke when opened... Absolutely sublime. The pine nuts suspended in the drink added an almost magical mellow flavor. After sipping on a very authentic Turkish coffee, I felt it would have been irresponsible not to sample the dessert offerings. So, We ended up going with the Oum Ali..(brioche Bread Pudding). There are literally no words to describe this creation. Warm, balanced, custardy wonderfulness! My wife and I look forward to our next opportunity to explore the other culinary adventures available on the Menu. Honestly, this was terrific food in an upscale but approachable setting. You will be impressed. read more

Located in a standard strip mall but you forget as soon as you walk in. They did a great job with decor. Staff is very friendly. They didn't seem totally prepared for the amount of business they had and probably need to change some staffing or time intensive items to help improve long waits. The chicken skewers and hummus were great, I will get again. I didn't particularly enjoy the baba ghanouj but it wasn't bad just not my preference in style. The lamb was bland, but they did say they were out of the crust so it would be fine if made as on the menu. The kebbeh nayyeh was the least enjoyable item due to the texture but flavor was fine. I am excited to return. Don't go in a hurry. I hope they're successful. read more

Most incredible food and service! This place is truly a must-try. We are so grateful to have it in our neighborhood. Everything is homemade and beautifully presented on custom-made dishware that adds such a special touch to the experience. The owner was so gracious and kind--stopping by our table to chat and personally pouring us a delicious after-dinner Arabic coffee. It made the evening feel warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. We can't wait to come back! read more

Noor Mediterranean - Arabic coffee - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Okay.... Where do I even start.... Through the door it was a very welcoming atmosphere, we were greeted right away. I should also mention that I had made reservations quite a bit in advance. The one thing I did notice is that even with the reservation the body language of the greeter as well as what I think is the restaurant manager/owner a woman wearing a blue dress whom seemed very out of place and did not know how to work a crowded room very well. We were taken to our table which was dainty but, nice. The only recommendation I would have is to not place tables so close to the entrance/exit for the waiters and waitresses as it is a very high traffic area and with so much movement conversation was interrupted due to the assumption multiple waiters/waitresses were coming to our table. The waiters name was Chazz, at first his energy was very dim but, we were energetic and playful as well as asked him what his recommendations are as well as his favorites which he the lit up and started speaking with enthusiasm about the dishes he was referencing. He really was amazing and we are thankful for the service we received while on a date night. Now.... The food.... And, drinks.... Chazz recommended the medjool old fashioned and the noors noir martini. Both drinks were very good. The date in the old fashioned was a huge miss for me though. I understand the ambiance and the why for the medjool date but, as a recommendation go back to the smoke cherry. It pairs better with the smokiness of the drink. It is not "innovative" to replace the cherry with a date. The food was ordered as follows: Starter: Hummus short rib - Severely missed the mark. The short rib was not flavorful at all as well as the hummus was just plain. Hot Mezze: Kebbeh Meshwiyeh - Now THIS was the most amazing dish of the entire night truthfully. Five stars just for this dish alone! Main: Mixed Grill Manqal - we wanted to try a little bit of everything which is what prompted this order.... The beef skewers tasted as if the chef added liquid smoke and was borderline inedible due to lack of taste. The lamb was undercooked and chewy. The BEST portion of this dish was the chicken it was very good, cooked through while maintaining its juiciness and seasoned very well. Dessert: Cherry Mousse and Oum Ali - The cherry mousse was VERY rich and robust with flavor, ensure to have water on the table when eating this dessert. The Oum Ali was okay for the first few bites however, it got very unfavorable in taste after the first few bites as well as bits of it were burnt and that made those areas taste MUCH worse. In closing, the aftermath of some of the food lead to waking up at 3am to cold sweats and dry heave vomiting as well as stomach pains that made the morning very uncomfortable. I do not recommend this establishment based mainly on the food and the outcome. read more

There were four of us that dined tonight. We had an early reservation and we all enjoyed what we ordered. Highlights included the lamb with sour cherry sauce. Also, our server was excellent. However, the music was so loud it ruined our experience. We weren't able to have a conversation without shouting. Unfortunately our dinner was cut short because of the music. We were looking forward to ordering dessert but opted to leave because it was so loud. read more

When I read the About section on NOOR Mediterranean I was excited about this new spot opening. We chose to visit on New Year's Eve. I made a reservation for a standard table and when we got to the hostess desk we were told it was outdoor seating. The only issue is that it was a chilly night with some light rain. All indoor tables were booked. We were about to leave but then wee offered a high top table and that was fine so we stayed. Walking inside the space the wall art and lighting accessories are beautiful. There are thoughtful menu options and the food presentation is top notch. The only negative is there are sevice kinks that need to be ironed out. But with a newer restaurant this wasn't unexpected. Tonight in addition to our different mezze options I ordered a beef flat bread but got served the chicken flatbread and we could not pay our check by scanning the QRC code on the receipt because two additional items were on the digital receipt that were not on the print receipt. We waited for awhile after we ended up having to give the server Sal our card. Which seemed odd because he had a hand held POS device to take our order and most restaurant servers can take the payment at the table with the same device. But I definitely plan to give them another visit in a few weeks to experience them during the daytime for lunch. read more

Had a business dinner with some clients I asked for the salmon but they didn't have salmon they said they had some other bass fish very Mediterranean, decided to go with the servers option they brought me this fish cut in half upside down with out flavor tasted like they microwaved the fish. When we brought it to the servers and managers attention she said she would bring it up to the chefs attention and walked away. So no real help and no real effort to make our dining experience better. read more

Restaurant looks nice and some of the food tasted good, but the service is horrid. Went here last night for dinner. Appetizer took quite some time to arrive at the table. The waiter forgot that someone at our table ordered a coke and had to be reminded after 10 plus minutes. The main dish also took a while and was warm and no longer hot by the time it arrived. This was the lamb chops and the truffle kabob. Ordered dessert and it took almost 20 minutes if not longer before we just cancelled that order so we could get on the road as we had an hour drove home. For the price, almost $250, for 4 people (no alcohol), and the portion sizes it is overpriced. Not coming back here as there is a better place that gives more food for the price that is just as tasty if not tastier. read more

Great first time experience at lunch! The Mutabal Dip with the Fluffy Hot Bread was delicious. The Shish Tawook had grilled Chicken kebabs. It was served with a roasted Chili pepper, a yogurt dip, salad and Bread. Wish there was an option instead of the Farro or Barley it came with as that was not the best for those who want gluten free options. The pickled onions did not go that well as they were quite sour. But the roasted tomato and onion tasted great. The grilled Branzino was also cooked to perfection and was served with a salad and an olive oil dip. Overall, a nice modern restaurant with a good positive vibe and happy decorations everywhere! read more

My husband and I split three mezze sharables and it was a perfect date night. The Treo with fresh pita really blew our mind. I was nervous that it would be too loud when I saw the DJ. But it was perfect and we could still easily talk. read more

The food, especially the shareables, hummus, raw dishes, and appetizers, was phenomenal. The ambiance and décor are very cute and welcoming. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. The owner and manager stopped by a few times to check on us, but in a friendly, non-intrusive way. There was also a DJ with a great mix of Middle Eastern and Western music. I give this place 5 stars without hesitation and will definitely be coming back to try more items. read more

I tried the newly opened Noor on Sunday night. I was pleasantly surprised by all the choices on the menu. The bartender Max answered all my questions, and helped make some great recommendations. The owner also came by to see how everything was and also made some excellent suggestions. I enjoyed all the food, and had an Old Fashioned (done with a unique garnish), and an Arak, which was new to me. The atmosphere and presentation of the drinks and food really stood out as well. I look forward to putting Noor into my "restaurant rotation". read more

It was a good restaurant and we liked their appetizers! Our waiter Chaz was great! We just wish they had coffee or espresso or black tea the usual Mediterranean hot drinks. read more

Sat at the patio bar on a very nice night. Music was uplifting and fun. Bartenders were friendly and fast. The food was amazing. So many great flavors blending together. The risotto was my favorite! We will be back! read more

The food was great! My partner is vegetarian and it's super vegetarian friendly. The service was great during the beginning of our meal but about halfway through we barely saw our server. It's like she disappeared and showed back up for the check. The atmosphere was also great except the DJ they had was playing music like we were going clubbing in Vegas and the volume reflected it...just way too loud to have a decent conversation without yelling. All in all we'd go back but maybe ask to sit further away from the DJ and hope for a little better service. read more

Delicious food, unreal drinks, amazing owners and great staff! Definitely a higher end, Mediterranean place, live DJ, beautiful decor, something you cannot find anywhere else in AZ. They are still getting in the groove of things since they just opened but worth the patience! read more

We had the most fantastic dinner in this beautiful, warmly lit place. The food was creative, complex and absolutely delicious! The pita is a soft, fluffy cloud-like sensation, the hummus was the best I ever had - every single thing we tried was delicious!

Nice decor and set up but that's all it's got to offer. Appetizers were good but the main entrees severely lacked flavor, service really needs improvement. Hate that a birthday dinner was wasted here. Won't be back. read more

Noor is a Syrian/Lebanese Mediterranean food restaurant. The menu was not what I was expecting, but we ordered anyway. Noor is easily the best restaurant in the PV corridor! Recommend: Beets Goat Cheese salad Classic Lentil Soup Muhammad-charred red pepper dip Shish Tawook-grilled chicken skewers Lamb chops-pistachio crusted Rush to this restaurant! The outside patio is beautiful and adorned with real jasmine flowers! Our server, JD, was helpful and attentive.The food was SO fresh and SO flavorful! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend! $$ read more

Wow! A restaurant that honors reservations! You have no idea how hard it is to find a place that actually honors reservations in this state. Thank you, Noor! It was so nice to arrive and be seated right away! The employees uniforms are an elegant touch. Very nice colors. The art on the wall is absolutely beautiful. The lighting and the lighting fixtures are very classy. The glasses and pitcher of water are so pretty. The dishes were unique and so fancy! The menu is fantastic and the prices are unbeatable! The food is absolutely divine and clean! Many restaurants' food cause horrible bloating but not here. We were full but not bloated! The fish was incredible and the chicken was so tender (I am so jealous I can't cook my chicken like this at home!). The cherry mousse with the mint was beautifully displayed and delicious! The box they deliver the bill in is so unique and an amazing touch of sophistication. Our server was Stephanie, and she was so sweet, kind, and real. We loved her professionalism and energy. She wasn't over the top, she knew when to come and ask us how the food was (never when we had our mouths full), and she let us enjoy our time without rushing us. She was also entertaining just by being what seemed to be her true authentic self. She was a breath of fresh air! Stephanie is a true sweetheart and very professional. Thank you, Stephanie! We absolutely appreciated our time here, the food, the environment, the elegant details from the fresh rosemary in little vases on the table, to the live music (santoor), and even the uniforms of the management (the light blue blazer was very charming, sir!). If you want to go somewhere high class in a beautiful environment, Noor is where you need to be. Thank you! read more

Food was very good! Service was a bit weak. Very loud inside and cannot hear what anyone is saying. Beautiful decor!

Wow!!! What a hidden gem in PV!!! The food, service (ask for Stephanie or Mason), atmosphere is amazing! The owner has put his heart and soul into creating a first class dining experience. We have dined there 3 times and found it consistently wonderful. If you love quality and flavor all wrapped into one location...THIS IS IT! read more

So, the wife and I decided to visit this new establishment on New Year's Eve. on NOOR Mediterranean I was excited about this new spot My wife made a reservation for an indoor standard table and when we got to the hostess desk we were told the only seating available was outdoors. The only issue is that it was a chilly night with some light rain. We were about to leave but then the hostess offered a high top table so we decided to stay. The ambiance was great with some great wall art, lighting, and relaxing decor. The menu options and the food are definitely Mediterranean inspired and the staff seems to take pride in that. However things took a negative turn after that. There are some serious service kinks that need to be ironed out. I guess I could let a few things slide since it was a newer restaurant, however I was still disappointed with the multiple issues we had. My wife ordered the beef flat bread and got chicken instead. She also ordered the Medjool thief old fashioned and we shared the falafel hot mezze dish. The pita like bread was absolutely delicious. However when it was time to pay we could not pay our check by scanning the QRC code on the receipt because two additional items were on the digital receipt that were not on the print receipt. We waited for awhile after and then we tried tapping our card on the hand held and the check was still wrong. Finally we gave him our physical card hand but had to wait for about minutes before asking another waiter to check on Sal and our card. The bill was finally settled and I talked the manager Harra, (If I am pronouncing or spelling it correctly) to make her aware of what was going on which she actually knew about. I don't know if we will return but the food itself was very good so go try it if you do nothing else. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!! read more

Beautiful restaurant. Ambiance was very nice. Great food and service. Everything we had was delicious. Will go back again. read more

Stopped by on what happened to be their first day open for lunch. The place is gorgeous with a very nice patio which is where we sat. I think because it was their first lunch day, things were slightly disjointed but really nothing to complain about. Our waitress was super friendly and the owner also stopped by to thank us for coming in. We weren't super hungry so just shared the beet and goat cheese salad, lentil soup, stuffed grape leaves and bread. We told our waitress that everything was good but the salad unfortunately was way over dressed. I genuinely hate to even bring up such trivial things but figured it's helpful for the kitchen. By far though, the star of the show is the ice cream dessert! Not inexpensive but holy cow.....amazing. Cotton candy whisps and pistachio bits on top of rose water vanilla ice cream was simply dreamy! I'm definitely going back in June, on my birthday for more of that! read more

We had a truly fantastic time at Noor last Sunday. The service was exceptional; our waitress was very attentive and present, provided great service and suggestions. The owner, Wael, a wonderful and caring business owner, stopped by our table multiple times to ensure the service and food was to our liking. We loved everything. As a Lebanese-American, this place gets the seal of approval for an amazing fusion of middle eastern and western food culture. The ambience is also fantastic. We immediately booked our valentines date at Noor *while we were eating there* and are planning to have our wedding rehearsal dinner there as well. 5/5, easy recommendation. read more

Initially, I was a little concerned after reading earlier reviews about some service delays, but given that it was a new restaurant and inevitably there's going to be issues while they work the kinks out I gave it a try. I'm glad to report. I was not disappointed. Actually I was pleasantly surprised not only did the food come out quickly, It was hot and delicious easily. Easily the best Mediterranean food in town. The only thing better than the food was the incredible service. the place also has an amazing ambience. If you love real Mediterranean food you must give this place a try. read more

We decided to invite a large group of friends to the restaurant and made a reservation. The food portions were small and mediocre at best. Overall, the service was very poor, and they did not seem equipped to handle a large group. We felt rushed to leave very shortly after the food was served. Tye dessert not that great . The owner also seemed bothered by our group, which felt very strange. In fact, he didn't even seem happy to have customers. Kids didn't seemed welcomed. This was our first and last visit, and I honestly would not recommend it. read more

Food was delicious - appetizers, lamb chops with lots of flavour. The portions were a good size but not too much. Service was stellar and the restaurant itself is gorgeous! Will be back to try more dishes and drinks! Cocktails I had were good! read more
