Nour Mediterranean Cafe

Absolutely lovely food, such kind people, very very amazing place. Will come back over and over again!!!

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. The owner sat with us and told us some very inspiring stories. He gave us tea, coffee and baklava on the house. He provided delicious food and great advice. Will be back the next time we’re in El Paso.

I love the Mediterranean food from here. Everything I’ve tasted this far has been delicious. Their Nour sauce is addicting with warm pita bread. It’s a very small area but they have great customer services.

Food was very good. Gave you two free baskets of delicious bread with a green potato dip. Delicious! Tried their Kibbee, was very good. Had the gyros sandwich and my husband meat shawarma. Both were good. Service was good, however, the waitress could have been friendlier. Would recommend this place.

There is nothing better than great food. Except when that great food is accompanied by exceptionally friendly and timely service in the form of a creatively curated and family run business. If your craving Mediterranean in the El Paso area don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Do yourself a favor; order the chicken shwarmas with pita appetizer and an extra side of Nour sauce.

Hands down best Middle Eastern food in El Paso! Comparable or better than my old haunts back East. Truly do not understand negative reviews — this place helps «make it OK for me» that our restaurant selection here is what it is.
Fresh, delicious food and friendly service at very reasonable prices. Has become new favorite place for food that tastes too good to be as healthy as it is.
— The bread basket comes with «Nour» dipping sauce of the owner’s creation which is incredible. Just try it.
— Haven’t had falafel this moist since leaving my fave place in Adams Morgan (DC).
— Winners from our experience: shwarma, kababs, vegetarian platter (hummus and baba ganoush do not have equals in this town), any of the salads full of freshly chopped parsley, mint, and crisp vegetables
— If you’re too full for dessert, take home the rice pudding laden with honey, cardamom, rose water!
— Love finishing dinner with complimentary hot beverages — Turkish coffee (good) or Arabic tea with ginger and cardamom (great!)

Worst Mediterranean restaurant I have ever been to. Truly ranks the lowest in all categories of quality. Really hate to write these and hurt someone’s income, however it’s the truth. Would not return, did not like the food, was not remotely mediocre.

I have driven by this place loads of times and always wondered about it. After hearing from a friend that it was good, I decided to pop in for a quick bite when I was in the area. I’m certainly glad I did because I’ve found another great Mediterranean place in town to enjoy.
I had the Gyro platter and took a gyro sandwich to go for my wife, and both were excellent. Dining in will yield you friendly service, and each meal comes with some pita and dipping sauce, which tastes fantastic. The food also comes out blindingly fast, but still tastes fresh and delicious.
I’m only disappointed I didn’t try this place sooner.

I grew up on the Mediterranean shores and ate this food for a long time. The food is as tasty and even more than how it is over there. Everything is fresh, the pita bread comes out warm and fresh, the shawarma and kafta are mind blowing. It’s by far the best Mediterranean restaurant in town.

is place is OUTSTANDING! Went for lunch, saw a family platter and figured why not! It would feed 4 easily, probably more. Full portions of hummus and babaganoush were served first, a great salad was next followed by falafel, kibbe, stuffed grape leaves. The final course was a meat platter (size of platter would hold a 35lb turkey!) With chicken and beef kabobs, chicken and beef shwarma and beef Kafka (spelling may be wrong. they are ground beef shaped into a log) with an abundance of delicately favored rice. It was beautifully garnished wth roasted red onion and tomato quarters and a delightful pickled turnip. The finish was complimentary Turkish coffee or tea. This meal was more than just going out for lunch or dinner… it truly was a dining experience. The owner and staff are pleasant as can be… a truly delightful adventure

I love this place and have now been here on many occasions. My faves are the delicious toum, which they provide gratis, the tabouleh (to die for), salads, spicy hummus, and hot tea. We are vegetarian and adore most all their veggie-​friendly options. My partner is obsessed with the veggie mixed grill.

I ordered the falafel sandwich and lentil soup to go. It was amazing. I think the falafel sandwich had pickled cabbage in it? Can’t wait to go back.

Compared to other Mediterranean restaurants (greek, turkish) this was just not good! The plates were old as they were plastic! I ordered gyro platter and received strips of meat instead of thin slices! The yogurt drink was also way more watery than traditional yogurt drink! I only liked lentil soup and baba gannush! I only give this place 2stars because of owner’s hospitality! He was warm and welcomed us! He was kind enough to offer us free Baklava! Again taste wise this place need a new chef who understands cooking Mediterranean foods doesn’t mean adding mint or cumin to every food instead creating tasteful combinations!

For starters, Nour’s hummus are to die for. Pita bread and their hummus are a lethal combination for me. I could eat it everyday and not get bored. When it comes to dinner, their half salad is fresh, colorful and has a fantastic flavor. Dressing ratio to salad is perfection. Not to much, but not to little. The chicken tawook does it for me. What is that yogurt based dressing that comes with it?! Just adore dipping that chicken in it. Anyway, love to eat there. Service is great, nice people, and the manager stops by to make sure you are OK. Yay!

We love this place! It is our go-​to Mediterranean restaurant. Chicken shawarma sandwich with potatoes harrah are my favorite! The owner is always nice and helpful and just a warm family feel. Great for take-​out, too! There is usually a Groupon if you want to try it.

I went there for first time (last)
The dishes were awful, really old and looks dirty. Rice was better. quality of meat, the worst Mediterranean restaurant in El Paso.

Nour is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in El Paso. The service is excellent and the food is always delicious. I had the combination platter, which was so tender and hearty. I’ve been here many times and the service/​food is always consistently good. The owner is so nice. He’s checks up on the customers, offering friendly conversation and sometimes Lebanese cookies.
Don’t forget to ask for nour sauce to go! This house made sauce is always served as a free appetizer and it’s delicious.

I decided to go based on the good reviews and I was in the mood for Mediterrranean food. I was not disappointed in the least bit. I had the gyros and the hummus. My very picky 2 year old granddaughter who never eats anything ate all her food and loved it. The Turkish coffee was perfect. The service was amazing — they were very attentive to all their customers.
We wil definitely be returning and I definitely recommend!!!

I can’t believe I haven’t done a review on this place. It’s been a while since we’ve been here but I can still remember the warm pita bread with the green colored buttery goodness. It’s not butter and it not hummus. They make their own and I forgot what it’s called but wow!
We ordered the Kibbe– good flavor but a bit dry.
I ordered their chicken shawarma plate and ate every single bit of it. The flavor was spot on.
Hubby ordered the mixed shawarma plate and that was also great. We literally ate everything!
The tea was also awesome and the baklava at the end, wow! It was just the right kind of sweetness to end the meal. Deff going back for sure!

I stopped in here on a whim. I was on the west side and needed to grab lunch before returning from lunch. I am glad I wondered in.
My service was top notch and the food was delicious.
This is my first experience with mediterranean food and the server knew it so she took the time to explain the various menu items to me. I enjoyed the coffee, the pita chips and dip and the hummus the most, however very this was tasty and flavorful.
To top off my dining experience I tasted teh baklava. yummmm.
