Nora Restaurant and Bar

My first visit to Nora restaurant was exceptional from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with Jaime, the bartender, going above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic evening. Jaime not only took great care of me but also recommended some outstanding cocktails and dishes that perfectly complemented each other. I tried several cocktails based on Jaime's recommendations, which did not disappoint! When it came to food, every dish was a masterpiece. From the appetizers to the main course, each bite was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Jaime's recommendations were spot on!! Overall, my evening at Nora was unforgettable, thanks in large part to Jaime providing top-notch service. I can't wait to return to Nora and explore more of their menu. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with great service and hookah, Nora is definitely the place to go.

a friend's recommendation and it didn't disappoint! Really enjoyed the sides hokah and drinks are amazing It's a cozy spot with friendly staff, making the dining experience casual yet memorable. Definitely worth the trip if you're looking for something special

The ambiance is so lovely! Perfect for a romantic date night or evening out with an intimate group! The lamb qabli palao was so tender and melted in your mouth, amazingly cooked. Top 3 best lamb I ever had anywhere. The chicken ‘grill’ came with rice, char grilled tomatoes, onions & peppers with a delicious yogurt white sauce. Also very good, chicken was slightly salty but still highly recommend both dishes. The dolma apps were mouth watering, do ask for extra lemon- adds the perfect taste to the grape leaves. Sambosa goshti with the green chutney was also very good. The only thing we wouldn’t recommend it’s the Vegetable combo, the dishes weren’t that good. But it’s understandable as the cuisine is more focused on meats. Drinks were delicious!! We got the apricot sour (a must order!) & the Texas sagebrush. Staff was very kind. Highly recc this spot & will definitely revisit :)

I went on a best friend dinner date. The environment is such a vibe! The food was out of this world tasty and full of flavor! I totally recommended. There are vegetarian options. I got the salad sampler platter. I was blown away and the way ( Roma Red ) was to die for! Liz was our waitress and she was amazing.

So it is currently 12:49am and I just got into bed after finishing the rest of my leftovers from this place. It was my first time eating afghani food earlier this evening. I got braised lamb shank earlier at a celebratory dinner for my friend. She got the chicken with yogurt. We ordered Dolma for appetizer. I personally wasn’t a fan because it was cold and had a LOT of dill, so it kind of reminded me of a pickle. I was expecting it to be warm/hot. But my friend liked it! I rate it 3/10. Not my cup of tea. HOWEVER, that was the ONLY thing I did not like. Everything else was absolutely divine. We got hibiscus mocktails and they were beautiful and refreshing 10/10. My lamb dish was …. Wow. I was left speechless. You know the food is good when you keep shaking your head as youre chewing because its too damn good. It was a little spicy, and something in it gave it a burst of sweetness, maybe it was some type of sweet vegetable or small fruit idk. But i liked it. The lamb was tender as heck. 10/10 dish. My friends chicken dish was also amazing! It was refreshing and light but satisfying 9/10. The service was great too! The two ladies who were working were very friendly. Our waitress was a woman with a few nose piercings, she was really kind and attentive. Absolutely must come back again.

Best Mediterranean food I’ve had in DTX since Medina closed down. Lambchops 5 ⭐️, Beef Kabob 5⭐️, and the veggies + saffron rice 🍚 😮‍💨. Didn’t care for their hummus too much but everything else was impeccable, including the service.

Absolutely love Nora! I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. If you love flavorful food, then this is your spot. It just tastes like the food is made with love. Recommend the spicy chicken meatballs or garlic shrimp to start. The Kofta Chalo, chicken with yogurt or grilled chicken for your entrees. This is a must try in Bishop Arts

Came here while visiting the Bishop Arts District and was immediately taken with the decor, followed soon by the pleasant personnel. We sat outside in their covered dining area and enjoyed a couple lamb dishes, along with the drink of the day. We started with potato & leek balanee, crunchy wonton-like exterior with a peppery soft filling adorned optionally with a minty spiced yogurt. The lamb was perfectly tender in both the Qalani Palau and the Korma. Mine was the lamb korma; the sauce was rich and flavorful, but not heavy- paired with lightly perfumed jasmine rice that was exactly the right texture. I shared the Tiramisu Martini with my wife, which was sweet and smooth and generous enough with the booze, with a cute pink heart drawn on the top. We finished off with a dessert whose name I forget, but was a silky cardamom-infused delight with a crushed pistachio garnish. No complaints whatsoever, and I look forward to bringing my wife here again. Forgive the pictures, I was into the food and forgot to take good ones.
