    Lule kebab
    Christina P.

    We were excited to celebrate my husband's birthday with family here, eastern European restaurants are hard to find. We arrived as they opened, the entrance to the parking lot is narrow and long besides the building, you enter alongside the front of the restaurant, and it curls around towards the back. They were able to seat us right away. The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the bigger lights turn on as the sun goes down. I appreciated the quiet we got as the first few tables, because the open dining room got noisy as the room filled up. The complementary bread was hot and crispy. I saved my piece because I thought maybe some of our food would come with some yummy sauce, but they didn't, everything was dry. It would have been better if they left the water at the table to self serve, but you have to wait for them to come around to refill your little cups. The Shah Plov is quite different from other plov, it's a drier long grain rice, maybe basmati, and it's baked in a shell with some fruits on the bottom. The rice was cooked fine, but the meat in this plov was incredibly dry and tough. The portion was large, this plate had more than enough rice to feed our table of four with the rest of the entrees. I give this 3/5 The lule kabob was amazing, and it was probably the only thing I would come back for. The meat was fatty and seasoned well, cooked medium-well. The onion salad was a good complement. The only thing I would improve was that there was 2.5 baby potatoes on the plate, and then a sad lavash. If there was more potatoes, or the lavash was on the side so it didn't get soggy under the salad, I would enjoy it more. 5/5 The ciz biz is highly regarded on yelp, and my mother-in-law was adamant that we get it. If not for this I think we would have got the mixed grill and been much happier for it. We do love liver though, so it isn't a matter of disliking liver. The ciz biz comes out on a thin grill plate, with onions and potatoes. It could have used more seasoning and some form of fat. It was dry and sad. 1/5 The Saj chicken also comes out on a thin grill plate, and is usually cooked under a weight that results in crispy, juicy chicken. This followed the same as the other meats on the table, with being dry, overcooked, and sad. The chicken is accompanied by tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes. 1/5. (I recommend the saj chicken at Bevri instead.) This particular kachapuri was too sour for my taste, but I don't hold that against them, the bread was cooked through and the bottom was crispy. 3/5 I'm not sure if they were having an off night, I was hoping for better. We should have vetted it before heading there the first time for a special occasion.

    Cheers to Mountain View, for gaining a Caucasian (means "of the Caucasus" here, not "white people"!) restaurant, right after Los Altos lost Bevri (Georgian)! I enjoyed everything we ordered and will surely come back, likely quite often, as I live nearby and think the prices are more than fair. The flavors were unique and memorizable. Spices are very on point and all the textures are done right. I also discovered ciz biz (beef liver) today for the first time and loved every bite of it! 1 star deducted for minor execution issues. One of the gurzas (dumplings) already had its wrapper torn and the soup leaked out. The minced lamb skewers meat had a little too much sinew and could be chewy at times.

    My first time trying Azerbaijani food, which, from my first impressions, share styles from Georgian and Mediterranean cuisine across various aspects, but still a bit different to have a varied experience! I went here for a team dinner as a party of 10, and we were well taken care of. Some of the dishes I got to try were - Gurza (Azerbaijani dumplings) - the meat filling is a bit chewy, reminds me closest to a Khinkali which makes sense as both Azerbaijan and Georgia are within the Caucasus region - Dolma - rice and beef wrapped in grape leaves - delicious, but also you can find this in other adjacent cuisines - Ciz biz (sizzling beef liver) - apparently a delicacy. I am not a fan but some teammates really love this dish - I liked how flavorful it was, but not the texture. To each their own - Three nations grill platter - shah plov is a lavash wrapped rice baked with beef. Beef was dry but the rice - wow, so flavorful. That is the only miss. The lamb and chicken they served was so juicy and succulent - generous portions of meat that even though they say the plate serves 4, it serves 4 and you will be very stuffed with minimal room for anything else - Caucasus pakhlava - it is like a baklava, but it is chewier and has more syrup soaked in. Tiny pieces but super filling I also tried some wines - the qvevri ones that are more Georgian but nice pairing. Just note it is on the drier side. And pomegranate wine that is a bit tangy and drinks like juice with a decent amount of alcohol. Definitely recommend giving this place a try. A teammate went here 5 times in a week during their business trip, and I had an enjoyable experience, and you don't really find this type of cuisine in the US often, so it is worth a detour.

    1/3/2026 NAR Restaurant 286 W El Camino Real Mountain View, CA 94041 I went to this new Azerbaijani/American place on ECR in MTV next to the Jack in the Box. This was recently a Chinese restaurant and has been nicely remodeled with an upscale contemporary table and chair setup interior. There is parking that wraps around the building. I ordered the Ciz Biz (pronounced Ch) lunch plate along with the suggested bread. Service was helpful, attentive and good. The bread loaf came first and was very long (could feed 4). It was a little chewy but soft and good. The Ciz Biz (beef liver slices with potato cubes and some grilled onions) is good if you like liver and the onions. Be sure to ask for more onions because the flavor and sweetness accompanies the liver well. Great place for liver and onions lovers. It's repeatable.

    Suzme and eggplant rolls

    We had such a wonderful lunch here and are already planning to come back to try more dishes. We ordered the prix fixe lunch (appetizer + soup/salad + main) for $39.90, and it was a lot of food for an amazing price. For appetizers, the eggplant rolls were the standout. Perfectly seasoned, soft, and incredibly flavorful. From the salads, the eggplant salad was our clear favorite. The eggplant was cooked beautifully with a soft interior and a rich, delicious sauce. The Choban salad was also fresh and tasty. For the main course, the lule kebab was excellent. It was tender, flavorful meat paired with perfectly cooked potatoes. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was great. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be returning!

    Ciz Biz and Saj Chicken

    An Unforgettable Azerbaijani Dining Experience at Nar Restaurant If you're looking for truly authentic, fresh, and homemade Azerbaijani food, Nar Restaurant is an absolute must. We started with eggplant rolls and mangal, and both were excellent. Then we had the lentil soup, which tasted completely homemade, warm, and comforting, along with a fresh and flavorful Choban salad. For the main course, we ordered Ciz Biz and Saj Chicken. I have to especially mention the Ciz Biz -- it was incredibly nostalgic and took both my husband and me straight back to our childhood and our mother's cooking. This is not a dish you usually find in restaurants, and this was the first time I ever experienced such an authentic and perfectly made version. Made with lamb liver and potatoes, it was absolutely outstanding. The Saj Chicken, prepared with Cornish hen and fresh vegetables, was equally delicious, with a truly homemade taste. What really sets Nar Restaurant apart is the freshness and homemade quality of the food -- you can genuinely taste the care in every bite. On top of that, the restaurant owner , Hikmat, is incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the entire experience even more special. I also can't say enough about the bread -- it's baked in-house and was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it. For dessert, we had the San Sebastian cheesecake and Azerbaijani baklava, and both were absolute masterpieces and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Highly, highly recommended. I will definitely be coming back many times to try every single item on the menu. An authentic, heartfelt, and unforgettable dining experience.

    I'm so glad my friend told me about Nor restaurant. It's the perfect place if you want to try a new cuisine that's full of flavor and the authentic vibe of the Caucasus mountains. We had khachapuri, choban salad, and eggplant rolls everything was fresh, super tasty, and the service was great. The wine was amazing too, made with traditional methods and full of rich flavor! Highly recommended

    Nargis B.

    It's rare to find a place where food, atmosphere, and people all feel perfectly in harmony. NAR is not just a restaurant -- it's a corner of genuine Caucasian warmth in the heart of Silicon Valley.Thank you for the taste, comfort, and kindness you bring! And at the end -- homemade jam, a gentle reminder that true hospitality lives in the smallest details. Azerbaijan is where the Caucasus meets the East --a land where every flavor carries the strength of the mountains and the soul of the Orient.

    Suzme and eggplant roll
    Seungyeon S.

    All the dishes were amazing and the service was fantastic! Must-haves: Suzme, Ciz Biz, and Pakhlava. Perfect spot for a date night or a relaxed weekend lunch. We're not from the area, but we'll definitely come back the next time we visit.

    Anton S.

    We celebrated our company holiday party at NAR Restaurant, and everything was excellent. The service was attentive and professional, the food was incredibly delicious, and the attention to detail really stood out. Our servers were friendly, responsive, and made sure everyone felt comfortable the entire evening. Highly recommend this place for corporate events as well as family dinners. We had a great experience and will definitely be back

    Lunch menu

    Visited today with friends for lunch. What a nice new place! I'm originally from Tbilisi, Georgia, Caucasus and I cook a lot of traditional Georgian and Armenian dishes. It's rare to find a tasty cultural place like this, that serves great food from all parts of Caucasus (check the menu and photos) and wine (they have great Georgian and Armenian wines), and at the same time is cozy and welcoming. Great service! Nar translates as Pomegranate, which in Caucasus symbolizes life, love, passion, abundance, prosperity, endurance, and fertility! Bring your friends and celebrate love and life in this unique place!

    Drinks and desert menu.

    5/5 I stopped by for the first time today and was genuinely impressed. It's great to find a place that serves Azerbaijani and Caucasian cuisine with this level of quality. I ordered the Cizbiz, which is a dish of liver and potatoes fried together in a pan, and it was delicious. The liver was tender, the potatoes were perfectly crispy--overall a very satisfying plate. For dessert, I tried the Malaga Cake, and it was the perfect way to finish the meal. Soft, creamy, and with a light banana flavor, it exceeded my expectations. The place is clean, the service is quick, and the staff is friendly. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu.

There is a large parking lot in front that is shared with other businesses in that shopping center. We were warmly greeted when we walked in and were shown to a lovely table. It's got a very classy vibe inside with beautiful artificial floral trees and artwork on the walls. The menu has a nice variety of food. We decided to try the Kashke Bademjan, for our appetizer. This is an eggplant puree with caramelized onions, tahini sauce and mint. It is served warm with fresh pita bread. For our mains we ordered a Greek salad to share, the filet mignon kabob plate and the filet mignon & chicken combination plate. Our appetizer came out first. The Kashke Bademjan arrived warm with piping hot pita bread. There was also a small tray of hummus on the platter. The Kashke Bademjan had such a wonderful flavor. It was warm and comforting. I highly recommend trying this. The hummus was nice. The bread was fresh and hot...so delicious with both dips. Our salad and entrees came out next. The food was served on these circular large metal platters. I couldn't believe how big the portions were and how beautifully the dishes were presented. The Greek salad was also huge. The filet mignon kabobs were delicious, moist and so flavorful. I chose the whir me for the chicken and it was perfectly moist and bursting with flavor. Both my husband and I enjoyed it. Each plate came with basmati saffron rice with a grilled tomato and salad. The rice was fluffy, moist and flavorful. Very fresh and hot. The salad was a nice touch and the grilled tomato was so juicy. There was so much food that we didn't even touch the Greek salad. We ended up with a lot of leftovers, which we didn't mind. I could tell this was a family run business. So much love and detail was put in to each item we ordered. We had excellent customer service. Towards the end of our meal, the owner (the matriarch of the family) came by to ask how are food was. She was so sweet and hospitable. I really loved that. I noticed she went to every single table and checked on everyone. We will definitely be returning, especially for the Kashke Bademjan. I also look forward to trying their other Persian specialties.
