    The drinks are phenomenal! I think this one is pear sage, 10/10
    Lisette R.

    We rent space here for every family celebration because the food and drinks are AMAZING, service is accommodating and attentive, prices are fair. Most importantly, their seasonal decor is so gorgeous that besides putting up a few table decorations, the work is already done for you! Will come here for dinner at other times as well. This is our spot.

    Bar area

    My cousin rented the space out because they have a private area. She rented it for my cousin's baby shower. There was plenty of room very nicely decorated. There is a bar there with sitting area on the other side. You can also dine in. The cream chicken was actually good. It's a decent size portion. I got half of it to go. The only negative is the service. The servers were kids and some of them did not know how to handle the food correctly. They also gave us some issues about getting new clean forks. Not really a big deal. I would try this place again to try out something different.

    Visited with a few friends on a Saturday evening. Restaurant was well decorated and was located in a plaza with good parking. The menu had a lot of good options. I started with the rice balls, which were perfectly crispy and flavorful. I had the truffle cacio e pepe for dinner, which was good but lacked that peppery flavor. We had a few cocktails and the lava cake for dessert, all of which were tasty. Service was attentive. Prices were reasonable as well. We all agreed it was a good spot!

    We enjoy coming here. This time we came here for a 50th birthday party. They did a phenomenal job. The food was amazing. The service was excellent and they did terrific coordinating everything. At the end of the night there were a few of us stragglers and the restaraunt was about to close but they allowed us to stay as they were still tidying up. They were really great with everyone.

    Entrance (Winter 2022)

    ORIGIN & CONCEPT: Bora Restaurant, which opened in December 2022, offers many dishes that are popularly found in "New" American restaurants in the area -- Market Place (Newtown, Brookfield, Danbury) and Barnwood Grill (Newtown) -- such as charred cauliflower, blistered peppers, brussel sprouts, and beet appetizers. Similarly you will find the restaurant has a warm, barnwood-lined interior. So many will not be surprised to learn that Bora Restaurant was conceived by Shkelzen Kralani, owner of Newtown's Barnwood Grill, nor that he took on this new location from his former Barnwood Grill partner. Curious as to the name? Kralani, of Albanian descent, reveals Bora is the Albanian word for snow. ATMOSPHERE: The interior is beautifully decorated, with several defined seating areas: a bar area, a sun-filled window area, and a brick and wood-lined private area. LOCATION: Lot parking, coupled with easy access off and on an interstate highway (84), make a gathering of family, friends, and/or colleagues at Bora effortless. TIPS: Because of the layout of the restaurant, Bora welcomes hosting small events in the private dining area. The restaurant serves lunch and brunch as well.

    Tuna Tartare

    Tucked at the back of the strip mall, one wouldn't expect a fine dining restaurant - yet that's where Bora is situated. The service is very attentive, the menu has some great selections, and I particularly like the special Old Fashioned on their cocktail list, in particular the honey version. Highly recommend the Tuna Tartare and Lobster Ravioli.

    Hanger Steak with mashed potatoes with amazing sauce.
    Samantha V.

    I just had a fabulous meal! It's my birthday and we ordered food for delivery from Bora. Our appetizer - crispy calamari with spicy marinara. The rings as you can see in my picture big. The spicy was mild it was just the kick we wanted. Our dinner hanger steak with charred scallions, walnuts, mashed potatoes, whole grain mustard, garlic and thyme. We got our steak medium rare since my husband and I shared. He's likes rare and I prefer medium. This steak was so tender we cut it with a plastic knife. I was not sure about walnuts with my steak. However, a combination if all the seasonings made them sooo good! Hoping the next time we have Bora we can dine in.

    Sangria
    Kimberly A.

    Overall, a very pleasurable experience. The ambience is wonderful, the staff is above and beyond friendly, as well as attentive. I was a little disappointed with the food/drinks. The flatbread, although delicious flavor wise, had a much softer crust than I expected. Flatbreads usually have a more crispy exterior. The sangria, again, tasty, but it was disappointing that the only piece of fruit in it was the slice of orange they used to garnish it with. The house burger was made well, but they overdid it with the amount of tomato and onion on it to make it appear to be more bulky. The pork belly, however, was delicious. Definitely something they did very well! Overall, a great experience, but I feel like it is a bit pricey for what is provided.

    Chilean Sea Bass
    Leah S.

    We celebrated NYE at Bora for an early dinner. The staff was well prepared for the crowd and worked efficiently to make sure our needs were met. The parmesan brussel sprouts were excellent and we loved the horseradish aioli that complemented the dish. We ordered the Chilean sea bass and chicken Milanese as our entrees... both excellent and largely portioned. We loved the cozy yet elegant holiday decor. We would love to go back.

    The best short rib dish you will ever have. It falls apart in your mouth and is deliciously salty. The mashed potatoes are perfectly whipped every time and the brussel sprouts are a nice crispy touch. The bartenders and servers are quick and love giving recommendations. The restaurant has a cozy feel with a fireplace and three separate dining areas.

    Omg love Bora. Stumbled upon this spot and discovered they have the most yummy food and delicious specials. I highly recommend you visit, I can't wait to go back myself. Oh and I can't forget the cocktails. Something for everyone. The service and staff were great. And the vibe inside is awesome.
