Best food and service in Jacksonville. I don't know what else to say. Shawarma, bomb. Filet Kebabs, bomb. Grape leaves, hot, bomb. We eat here at least once a month. Highly recommend. We drive from Fleming Island to this place. read more

Visited for lunch on a Friday recently. Not my first time and definitely won't be my last! The owner is so friendly and helpful and the food is consistently good. They have my favorite hummus. The pictures really don't do the food justice. Inside is casual. Parking is easy enough as it is in a small strip center. read more

Noura Cafe - Shawarma Beef Sandwich - Middle Eastern Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Noura Cafe is located in a shopping plaza and i stopped in tonight and was overall pleased with the gyro and French fries. The service here was friendly and my food was made pretty quickly. The ambiance is laid back and pleasant, but I got my meal to go and enjoyed my gyro and French fries in a nearby park. I would recommend here. read more

I walked in and looked over the grocery items. I chose to buy some large pita bread for home. Then, to order: I wanted a beef shawarma and a salad for dinner tonight. I also ordered a spinach pie to take home. I also had half and half tea, a piece of baklava for after dinner. The food, tea and baklava were very fresh and good. I had half of my dinner boxed up because I was so full. I was able to relax and unwind after work. I look forward to my next visit. Pros:very good food! Plenty of parking. Cons:it was a wee bit pricier than I like, but I work hard and deserved a good hot meal. Recommend? yes! If you want to live a long life, this is the food for you! Mediterranean food. read more

We love this Gem and come every time we visit JAX. Amazing fresh food with great flavor. I tried the Beef tenderloin Kabob Platter for the first time today (I usually get the chicken shawarma ) and it was amazing!! So ridiculously tender you don't even need a knife to cut it! And it was absolutely delicious! The vegetables and cucumber-tomato salad were also delicious. It's also family run by charming people. Definitely don't miss out on this if you're in the area. read more

Noura Cafe continues to be a favorite spot for my family in the Lakewood/Miramar area. Some of our favorites are the Tabouleh, the Greek Salad, the Lentil Rice and the Shish Taouk Platter. The food is always fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

My aunt and uncle and I went here for dinner tonight as they're always talking about how great the food is. Upon walking in the aroma of the spices is phenomenal! Truly makes your mouth water. They have a mini grocery store if you will where you can buy grape leaves and other ethnic type items. I did not look at the prices however it's something I will look at when I go back. The food was very good. I have to say the chicken was very flavorful and my uncle loved the red snapper he had. The rice has the perfect amount of turmeric in it to add flavor. The portions were a little bit on the small side. Overall, the atmosphere and ambience is very warm inviting and welcoming. This is somewhere I would go back. I do want to try their falafel. read more

I tried the beef Schwarma sandwich and was not disappointed! The sandwich was stuffed full of meat and veggies. My friend ordered the stuffed grape leaves and let me try one. This was my first time trying a stuffed grape leaf. I honestly didn't think I'd like it but turns out it was delicious! The service was fast and everyone was very friendly! read more

Went here with my girlfriend because she has told me about the food and sweet owners multiple times. First couple times we went to go, we forgot they are closed on Sundays. But we made it out this past Saturday and it was a wonderful experience. I had the lamb gyro platter with rice and baba ganoush which was a great portion for about $15. My girlfriend got a turkey and tabbouleh pita which was deliciously refreshing. We both got sodas & some hummus to share. They were generous with the pita bread and the owners are such a kind and inviting couple. They also have a grocery section and we ended up buying some labne to take home. Can't wait to make this one of our regular stops. read more

Honestly I am lucky to have this place so close to my house! Hearing the owners interacting with the customers is extremely heartwarming. What a beautiful family owned business! I will always love to support this place. They occasionally offer a vegan buffet, with a great variety of food. My favorite thing to order from here is the falafel platter. read more

Best tenderloin Kabob I've ever had. I love that we have locations like this in Jacksonville. Customer service was also top notch.

It is the old man , at the front, that has no manners on people he does not like. So I stop going though the food is good. My grand people enjoyed what they eat there. I come from a Bethlehem , Palestine , family, that knows how to cook. Here, at Noura's, is just a place to be, if it wasn't for the elder. read more

With a plate full of lovely pieces of baklava, this is what I got. I even left a tip 20% tip for a pickup order. Ridiculous, when I said something I was told it is all baklava. I am so disappointed. read more

Awesome food! I'm pretty picky about Mediterranean food, will definitely order again!

I'd ordered a Camel Rider in the past from Noura and completely forgot to take a photo and write a review about it! Bad Yelper. For those who don't know what a Camel Rider is and before you hack me to pieces, a Camel Rider (also called a Desert Rider) is a pita sandwich made popular by the Arab community here since the early 60s, made usually of cheese, ham, salami (or bologna) with any combo of mayo, lettuce, tomato, balsamic dressing, you name it. Anyway, I knew that I'd order from them again and that day finally came around again. After being yanked around by my favorite delivery app, I dumped them and chose my 3rd favorite to deliver me some Noura's. This time I decided to go with the Chicken in a Sack sandwich, basically grilled diced chicken in a pita sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayo and onion. There's no combo here so I paired it with Za'atar dip (olive oil with dried herbs seeds) and pita bread. The sandwich was awesome and was just the right portion. I did finish my pita bread before the dip but that just means that I'll have Za'atar to use on other things. Thanks for saving me again in a rush for lunch. read more

One of the best if not THE best Middle Eastern restaurants locally. I always get the beef tenderloin kebobs. Someone in the kitchen really knows how to grill a perfect steak! Everything here is delicious. You can tell by the long line that forms at lunchtime--Tabouli, Kibbeh, hummus...all very good. Pita is very good and made on-site. Check out the grocery items available for purchase. read more

Was looking for a different restaurant in the same mall, but looks like they are closed permanently. Stumbled upon Noura Cafe nearby and owner was very hospitable and nice. Have not had Lebanese food a long time. Ordered the meat pie to go and it came out pipping hot and smelled delicious. Was going to wait till I get home to eat, but I couldn't wait. It tasted so good, will be back next time for some chicken on rice! Very reasonable price and generous portion. read more

Disappointed. They use curly parsley for the tabooley which hasn't the flavor of flat leaf parsley. And they use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh and a flavorless olive oil. The grape leaves rolls had 75% rice to meat. The Kafta was overcooked and dry. The yogurt they use is fat free not whole milk. They give you three tiny triangles of bread to eat all this. We asked for more bread and would pay for it but it never came. $37 later we left. That doesn't include tip. The place is small and like a cafeteria. read more

This was my 1st time here and it was great. It was a private event. They have a small private dining room on the side which was nice fir the 40 or so ladies that attended. The food was delicious and service was great. We almost was too large but we made the space work. The parking was great even though it was in a shopping center. We had a great time with a private entrance to the space it kept our event private. The restroom was clean I will go back again to eat here. Our meal was Greek salad, Falafel, rice, hummus, kibbeh and beef tenderloin. All was enjoyed by everyone. read more

I ordered 2 chicken gyros, a small lentil rice with a drink and was charged $29.32. I breakdown of the bill. If gyros are $8/each, I can only assume that my rice and fountain drink was $13. *face palm * Update: I get home and the pitas are so hard and a bit stale, majorly unimpressed with the flavors. Never again. read more

This place is amazing. Love that you can buy some of the ingredients they use right here in their store. I've never had a bad meal in this restaurant and have been coming here for years. Love the friendly staff and owners of this restaurant. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. I've had to clear my throat when the bill arrives, but they are unapologetic about their higher then average cost, as the quality is always a present Constance... easy pick for a quality quick Mediterranean lunch or dinner. Note: the breakfast is good too, and generally a good bargain. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambience. I had the vegetarian platter. It was terrific would go back again.

I've been wanting to come here for a while. My friend loooves this place. To say I left confused and disappointed is an understatement. I walk in and it's me and two other people. I select some food items from the side like garbanzo beans, sauces, etc... (They have some grocery style shelves to the right, as you are walking in.) I approach the counter and am taken a back by the storage stuff on the floor. It reminded me of my sister's garage and didn't feel very restaurant-y or cafe-y. I am abruptly asked what do I want. (Not, would you like to eat in or take out? Not, how are you. ... "you get the picture") I look around a find a menu. He could have handed me one in front of him but ... whatever. I order a hummus appetizer with pita chips. He looks at me and says.. "You can get a package of pita bread behind you." I turn around. A pile of pita bread is on a table. I try to tell him I want the appetizer meal but he's not budging. I then say I'll take a medium hummus container. I say I want to order several spinach pies. He says we only have one. He puts a large container of hummus on the counter. I start to ask if I can order some gyros but.... **** At this point, I'm done. I traveled across town for this? I put all the grocery items back on the shelf, said I'll buy the package of pita bread and large hummus and I'm done. 1. I should have just walked out but I still wanted to be nice because this is a place my friend loves. 2. I'll never come back. There are so many good mediterranean restaurants on my side of town; so no reason to come here. Pita and hummus. $21.00 Wowzers. read more
