Super wonderful foods...and caring service....

Jumada I 26, 1443 AH or Dec 30, 2021 or Tevet 26 , 5782.. Where ever you originate and whoever you are..when coming to Tucson AZ plan a visit to the Nur Import Market/ Restaurant It is an absolute MUST ! ! This family run establishment is authentic and they offer generous portions. Popular with the locals and well worth your time. The Lamb roast and rice is super Tender and packed full of flavor. The Fish Steak and Basmati rice is an outstanding dish created with an amazing combination of seasonings-- 'Totally tastes like more''...not kidding! They have several other choices which are next on my list. Each order comes with two types of sauce condiments... the red one is mild the green one super spicy but enticingly flavorful. If you like fresh hummus you absolutely must try theirs, it has fabulous flavor. They even have fried potatoes with a special seasoning...very Yummy. When you visit..your belly will be happy you did. The Restaurant closes early so please arrive no later than 4:30pm. Mst. Thank you for reading. Happy trails......

A bit disappointing. We ordered shawarma and Pita Gyros after looking around store on what we could pick up grocery -wise. Not much variety on products in the store- I can get more variety at Babylon market or even LeeLees. However the disappointment was more in our sandwiches we picked up. The Pita Gyros is not a Pita gyros- it's a Pita souvlaki- it's on par for Pita souvlaki 100%. I say this because not only was I married to a Greek but I also lived in Greece for almost a year. The Shawarma I ordered was not a true Shawarma either. Shawarma spices include for example cinnamon, or cardamom, coriander and so on but I have never ever eaten a shawarma in any country with yellow curry. ( I have worked as a flight attendant for 14 yrs traveled pretty much everywhere except for South America and Australia and have lived in Berlin Germany my whole life which is pretty much little Istanbul- we get unlimitted varieties of Mediterranean cuisine in Berlin.) My apologies to the store because I can appreciate your efforts on trying to sell...

I always come here when in Tuson to get my Kenyan stuff since it's also a market. This trip I was alittle sad that they had no Sambusa or East African tea but the food we got the chicken shwarama and the Lamb with rice was really good. The staff was very friendly as always and attentive despite how busy it got which is always appreciated. I definitely recommend for some East African cuisine which is not alot out here. Update as at July 2024: Went here and I was excited because when in Tuson it's my favorite place to go to get some home feel stuff well I think the owners have changed. You can tell from the food it's not what it used to be and even the regular people (owners) that used to be there are not there. At the moment I didn't quit like the new taste to the food but to eat there own. Just an FYI for anyone that saw my previous preview...
