(Last visited 4/7/2025.) In Boston on business and my hotel is in Revere, but I'm coming from the west so I wanted to stop somewhere to eat that was on the way to where I was staying. I used my handy-dandy Yelp Boston app and landed on Nour cafe! I saw that they had #shawarma and that it was some of the best in the area, so here's how it went!
Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is literally a gas station, but there's nothing wrong with that. You pull up to the Shell, get some gas or park at a pump that's out of order or one of the available parking spots off to the right, but this place isn't really designed for you to dine in. Lol. Yes, you can sit in and eat off to the left side, but they really want you to leave. Once inside you make a right and above the drink coolers are a series of TVs that show you the menu. Continue to your right and you'll see the kitchen where all of the magic happens. Simple setup here.
Service: There isn't any. You walk up to the counter, order your food, pay for it where you'd normally pay for gas then wait for them to call your name. My food was ready in 10 minutes.
Food: I went with the mixed grill plate because I just FELT IN MY SOUL that I'd get a WHOLE LOT of food. Boy was I right! Lol. So the mixed grill plate comes with chicken shawarma, steak shawarma, ground lamb kabob, rice, a big pita, pickled vegetables, a slaw, a grilled onion mixture and hummus. Wow. Everything was SO good, SO seasoned and SO filling. I literally could eat on this for 2 and maybe 3 meals! I broke the pita into 4 smaller pieces and then made mini shawarmas with different meats in them! Lol. It was a bit messy, but you can totally eat this with a fork and knife without a problem. The food was excellent.
Value: $16.99 is what I paid and when I got to my hotel then opened the lid to see all of that food I was just so blown away. How did they make any money by giving me all of this?! Lol. Astounded. Everything on the menu is cheap and there were many things under $10.00.
In conclusion, I'd definitely pull up and get this exact same meal again! I went with the mixed grill to experience the different meats this place had to offer. I loved...
Read moreThis was my first time ordering, and let me start by saying that the food was fantastic. However, I had significant issues afterwards.
I was charged an extra $15 on my card. When I called to resolve the issue, I requested a credit back to my card. They informed me that I needed to drive to the store because they didn’t have a way to process the credit remotely, which struck me as quite strange in this day and age.
After some hassle, I made the drive, and they assured me they would provide a full refund for the inconvenience. I drove back and received a full refund in cash.
The next day, my card was charged again without my consent. When I called to address this, they claimed they had no idea how my card was charged, which I found odd. I had to make another trip back to get cash from them since they were unable to process a reversal on my card. The gentleman I was supposed to meet had left the promises so I had to deal with someone else. I had to go inside and fight the situation.
Today, my card was canceled as a result of these confusing events with the restaurant. It's disappointing because I was planning to return and order food, but now I'm worried that they might misuse my card...
