Nouri’s Restaurant — Restaurant in Paterson

Nouri Cafe review:

I could write pages about this place. The chic, trendy ambiance is second only to the food, which is absolutely uncompromising. Flavor, quality, attention to detail and care; its the whole package. What stands out even more, however, is the way this place feels inside, the "vibe." When you walk in you're greeted warmly. Everyone has a smile on.

Sure, I may have overdone it with the garlic sauce, but it was worth every minute! Just make sure everyone else has some, too.

Not everyone belongs in this business, but George and his people certainly do; I feel like I just got back from having home-cooked lunch at my cousin's.

Oh, don't miss the Iced Mint Lemonade! They serve it frozen, and it's...

Nice lovely restaurant with charming ambiance, warm lighting, and traditional decor created the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The service was good, with our waiter being attentive and helpful.

The rich, creamy soup and the flavorful shawarma sandwich were both mouthwatering. The generous portions made it an incredible value. Turkish pie, LA majun was ok

We had a wonderful dining experience, and the food was delicious. However, we were a bit taken aback by the gratuity added to our bill for just two people. It would be helpful to have more clarity on the policy.

Additionally, while the food was fantastic, we felt the selection of Turkish and Middle Eastern dishes could be more diverse. Perhaps offering a wider range of options, especially in terms of pastries and desserts, would enhance the...
