I went because I reserved a To Good To Go bag. I'm not sure what the rolls we got in the bag were called. We definitely got our money's worth. ALSO...When we walked in we were immediately greeted. All the staff was welcoming. The first case as you walk in had Borek. We got the meat, potato & spinach. The meat was my fav but we also liked the potato. No one really cared for the spinach BUT it could just be our taste it was kind of bitter. We also had a spinach Gozleme. I loved it. We took our food to go but will be back. The patio looked whimsical & I really want to taste the tea! We will definitely go back. We are all stuffed. read more

I really want to support this place because there aren't that many Turkish restaurants in the area, but my second visit was kind of disappointing. The first time was great, both of us got the soujouk menemen which is a small egg and tomato scramble with sausage slices paired with a large bun on the side. It was simple yet filling and affordable. I also liked the ambiance which felt very clean and spacious, and the fact that they had self-serve tea free of charge. The next time we visited, we got the lahmacun and a kebab plate. The lahmacun was okay but not special. For the kebab, the menu made it seem like you could choose any 2 sides but actually they are predetermined and not a good value. The kebab was quite small especially compared to the price. It was just one kebab with rice and bread for over $20. They also charge $1/person if you ask for water (they give you bottled water). The service is friendly but not super attentive so we had to flag down the staff multiple times. Overall I'm hesitant to recommend this place due to the lackluster second experience and misleading menu, but maybe there are other items on the menu are a better deal. read more

Very different, but wanted to try! We love trying new foods. We both got omelets. Soujouck & soujouck menemen. I think the best is the menemen, it was soaked in tomato sauce! And sausage was amazing I wish there were just a little bit more. $8/omelet is a little pricey with only 4-5 thin slices of meat. But they do give you bread. They also provide free tea. Overall great flavor! read more

I just had an opportunity to dine at this restaurant, the service was quick the food was great and tasty. I visited this place in a group and surprisingly the food was served quickly. I dined on sariyer meat as an appetizer and the Adana Kebab as my entree. I will definitely come back again as this was a pleasant experience. read more

My family and I recently visited this restaurant for breakfast and had the most delightful experience. We haven't had this much fun at a restaurant in a long time. The staff were amazing cheerful, kind, and they made us feel right at home. The entire was bright, clean and welcoming. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stop in and have a bite. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a young lady who sat us at a table and gave us menus. She explained that since we were dining in, we were free to enjoy the complimentary Turkish tea. I must admit, the tea was very hot, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Nothing is worse than hot tea that isn't served hot. She also answered our questions about the menu and took our orders. As we were sipping our tea and waiting for our food, she returned with a huge bowl of PIŞI (Turkish fried bread, yes, I had to look it up). She put one on each of our plates. I didn't know what to expect, but once I bit into the pillowy soft bread, I was in heaven. I looked at each member of my family, and they all had the same expression: pure heaven. The PIŞI went perfectly with the tea. We even asked for honey to go with it, and the server accommodated us. Our food arrived hot and fresh. My son ordered the Patso wrap, my other son ordered the lentil soup (as did I), and my husband ordered the Turkish-style manti. We also ordered two borek beef pastries to go. Everything we ordered was simply delicious. I loved the flavor of the dishes as they were not drowned in salt, so you can actually taste the spices. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My son even got an extra order of PIŞI. The server was kind enough to bring a few more, arranged on a plate with feta cheese for us to share. Later, a gentleman was making rounds with a huge pan of PIŞI, and my other son asked for more and the gentleman generously gave my son another piece, which was very kind. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely return in the future. We are already planning our next visit! read more

Checked this place again after Christmas, i tried their beef and egg omelette - very salty! The Gozleme spinach i ordered came in only as cheese. Not recommended. Simit sandwich with feta cheese and tomato - it was alright. The coffee in on point. But it is always served woth a teaspoon in it. Owner was so sweet. It is family run business that is worth supporting. Great seats and ambiance. read more

We used to go to their garland location when we first learned about it and now we love their new Richardson location! It's bigger, brighter and more accommodating. The food is always impeccable, the service is always warm and welcoming and I LOVE that there is always free tea for everyone. That really reflects middle eastern hospitality and the generous culture. You can't go wrong with anying on the menu. I always try new things. The meat pide, the simit with anything and the kuymak are a must try. read more

Service is fantastic. Beautiful place, really feels like they put a lot of love into the food and ambience. We have manti (dumplings) and lahmacun (meat pie). I usually don't like meat pies but this was amazing delicious light and refreshing like it was a family recipe. Unlimited Tea is available self service. Such a satisfying meal. This place alone makes me wish I lived here. (Turkish yogurt is the literally the best yogurt- must me magic in their hands) read more

Absolutely delicious and probably the friendliest staff Richardson. This place is great and has fresh food constantly coming out of the oven that can make for a quick lunch or a leisurely lunch/dinner. Cozy environment that makes it a good family spot but easily big enough for a group's. The Lahmacun are flavourful on their own and really shine when prepared with love and the Turkish tea is complimentary. Good place to be adventurous and try something new. The staff will have a lot of recommendations-give one or two a try and then come back for the rest later. Absolutely delicious and probably the friendliest staff Richardson.

This place has the best food!!! I come here specifically for the potato filled pastry which is to die for. 11/10 recommend

Loved our Turkish lunch here! All you can drink fresh brewed Turkish tea on SAMAVAR took my back to grandma's house memory!

I stumbled into a Turkish bakery today, and honestly, it felt like stepping into a completely different world--in the best way possible. The first thing that hits you is the smell: warm butter, toasted sesame, and just a hint of sweetness in the air. Everything looked freshly made, not just "baked today" but like it had come out of the oven minutes ago. I tried a few classics, and each one had its own personality. The simit was perfectly crisp on the outside with that signature sesame crunch, while the inside stayed soft and chewy. The baklava? Layers so delicate they practically melted, balanced with just the right amount of syrup--sweet, but not overwhelming. What really stood out, though, was the sense of care. Nothing felt mass-produced. You could tell there was real tradition behind every item, from the shaping of the dough to the way everything was displayed. If you've never been to a Turkish bakery, you're seriously missing out. It's not just about pastries--it's about flavor, texture, and a whole cultural experience packed into one visit. read more

Beautifully cultured atmosphere including the staff and decor. The food was indescribably delicious. Noor-Sha isn't like any other restaurant, they take their time to make the food as best as they can and the staff is ready to help and check in on costumers whenever needed. I would definitely recommend and come back many times. read more

Noor-Sha Cafe stands out as the finest Turkish cafe and bakery I have encountered outside of Turkey itself. The authenticity and excellence of the offerings are truly remarkable, transporting patrons to the heart of Istanbul with every visit. The service is exceptional, characterized by genuine warmth and attentiveness that clearly stems from the owner's welcoming spirit. This positive energy permeates the staff, creating a hospitable environment that enhances the overall dining experience. The high quality of the food--fresh, flavorful, and meticulously prepared--further reflects this dedication, while the ambience provides a comfortable and inviting setting ideal for relaxation or casual gatherings. I highly recommend Noor-Sha Cafe to anyone seeking genuine Turkish cuisine. It is a hidden gem that deserves widespread recognition. read more

I can't say enough great things about Noorsha Cafe & Bakery in Richardson! We come here often, and every single visit is consistently wonderful. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared -- you can truly taste the care they put into everything. What really sets Noorsha apart is their hospitality. The team goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and taken care of. On my most recent visit, I was craving a Turkish drink that wasn't even on the menu, and without hesitation, they made it for me. That level of service is rare and genuinely appreciated. We ordered the Ayvalik Panini, Simit, and a Plain Pogacha -- all delicious, especially the panini, which was packed with flavor and perfectly toasted. The simit and pogacha were fresh, soft, and exactly what you'd hope for from a Turkish bakery. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite, a cozy brunch, or a taste of authentic Turkish flavors, Noorsha Cafe & Bakery is a gem worth visiting again and again. Highly recommend! read more

The Lamachun was great, the braised lamb shank was almost great but was dry inside, it otherwise looked incredible. The service here is where they need a lot of work. The waitress seemed to not want to help customers. Us and the table next to us were surprised how little service we received or info about how things worked having been our first time here. Fix the service, don't let the braised lamb dry out and this would be among the better in town. Note - Also had to ask for a spoon to serve the lamb and rice, and a pizza cutter was laid on top of our Lamachun to cut it ourselves - so the pizza cutter was covered in Lamachun topping and was oily to cut with. We also had to find our own napkins and the self serve tea was confusing as it needed mixed with hot water and nothing around to use to stir in sugar or sweetener (I used my fork) confusing not just to us but the table next to ours as well read more

A Hidden Gem Bringing Istanbul to Texas! I've been following the owners and Chef for years, and every visit still feels like a journey straight to Turkey. From the aroma of freshly baked bread to the depth of flavor in every dish, this place truly sets the standard for authentic Turkish cuisine in all of Texas. What I love most is the balance... it's perfect for a cozy family dinner, yet also ideal for hosting small gatherings or team meetings in their private rooms (which I book often!). If you're craving real Turkish food made with heart and heritage, this is the spot. Every meal reminds you that food isn't just meant to be eaten - it's meant to be experienced.

The food and service here are both delectable. Our group particularly loved the etli ekmek, so much that we came back a second time just to have it again. Dinners include free serve yourself tea.

Especially the simit and breakfast menu are super delicious but my favorite is always the finger locking Lahmacun

The food and service were both very good. And possibly the best bread I've ever eaten. We will most certainly be going back!

My Turkish tea outing turned into a delicious dinner! Rave reviews for this new little slice of Heaven in Richardson, TX. The service is top-notch and the food is devine. It's located in a recently renovated building in southeast Richardson, south of Spring Valley. Definitely worthy of a visit for an authentic Turkish experience in the heart of DFW! read more

The BEST Turkish food! Everything was very fresh! The lahmajun, babganoush, su borek, cheese pide, were all outstanding! The crust is the best ever and better than the food we enjoyed this past summer in Istanbul! Great service, friendly, and attentive! We will be back frequently! read more

I usually pick up a Too Good to Go order and buy some additional things. Since I don't know what I receive, I'm going to describe our favorites. The spiral pastry covered with sesame seeds is lightly sweet with a lovely almost crumbly texture, we suspect tahini in the dough. The bagel looking pastry stuffed with savory herbed white cheese is great. The beef and spinach filled borek (I think that's the name) are our top favorite! Big enough to share. read more

Delicious food very quick service comfortable seating and atmosphere . Would definitely recommend.
