“ Truly wow. Our falafel sandwiches were so delicious with such fresh, beautiful ingredients. Lovely, bright and inviting atmosphere. Definitely a great value for top-quality fresh and fast food. I hope to be back many times. ”
“ Tried the falafel pita, the zatar pita and thr chicken shawarma pita. Portion size is extremely filling. The falafel pita has the perfect blend of sauce and salad. Highly recommended. Great for grab and go or dine in as well. Staff are friendly and happy to explain the menu in detail. I will definitely be visiting again ”
“ Nura in Portland is a haven for falafel lovers! Their delicious, freshly made falafels are not only a delight for the taste buds but also light on the pocket. It's a perfect blend of taste and affordability, making it a must-visit place for all food enthusiasts. ”
“ I never visited their food truck, but Nura's location at monument square is fantastic. All their offerings are vegan and extremely satisfying. The dish pictured in my review in the cauliflower shawarma hummus bowl (which I highly recommend!) When I visited it was a weekday at around lunch and we were barely able to find seating which is usually a good sign. I was not disappointed and loved my dish and the uniquely refreshing mint lemonade. Also as an added convenience, all their prices include tax and are to the even dollar. Can't wait to go back to try their other flavor combinations. ”
“ Great shawarma pita in a trendy and fun restaurant. The flavors in the pita itself are great, we like the somewhat unconventional hummus and pickles along with the normal chicken. The pita pockets themselves are also sturdier than average, which helps with cleanliness in addition to the clever use of taco holders. There's a big parking garage right next door and lots of other things to do in the area as well ”
“ Found a new great spot for falafel, gluten free and vegetarian options! I got the chicken shawarma bowl and my friend ordered the falafel bowl. Both were handsome portions and absolutely fresh and delicious! ”
“ The shawarma and falafel were delightful, offering authentic Mediterranean flavors. While the prices are slightly elevated, the quality of the food justifies the cost. Considering it’s the sole Mediterranean restaurant in the area, it stands out as a worthwhile dining option. ”
“ The falafel was so so good — definitely the thing to order here! It was fried to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. And that vibrant green color!! The shawarma fries were good, and the hummus was super smooth and luscious. The hummus bowl was a reallllyyyy underwhelming, though. I’m glad I got an extra side of the beet salad because it really needed some brightness. The side portion was incredibly scant, too, for the cost. The mint lemonade also tasted just like regular lemonade. Overall, I’d get the falafel again, but I felt the meal I ordered was super overpriced for the lack of flavor (especially the mushroom shawarma). ”
