Mix Kebab Platter

Food is super fresh and service is amazing! Highly recommend trying this place out :)

Everything is always so good!! Got the protein bowl today, super yummy ! Chicken is so fresh and as always, they have the best hummus !!

Falafel Sandwich
Fatima G.

The owners of Petra cafe have changed and the new name replacement is Noor Cafe. Noor is an Arabic word which means light. We went in looking for Petra and ended up ordering a platter and a falafel sandwich. I must say I was beyond impressed with the juicy, tender, delectable meats and the garlic sauce combo. The bed of rice was colorful and so flavor packed. The bite of meat with a spoonful of rice and a topping of garlic sauce was heavenly and so good. We thought we would have leftovers with the portion but we ended up eating everything anyway. Service is great and the place though small is in a very good area which has a variety of stores and a lot of new shops.

Mixed Grill, No Rice, Extra Vegetables with Garlic Sauce and Taziki Sauce.. so so good!!
Justin G.

What a hidden gem this restaurant is. Don't let the casual vibe distract you from the fact that this family is serving absolutely delicious kebabs, house made sauces, and generous portions at an incredible value. The chicken kebab is one of the best pieces of chicken I've eaten in a restaurant in a very long time. The lamb is kebab is tender and tasty. The beef kefta is all meat and seasoned perfectly. That massive plate of food was $28 ($20 without the extra Kebab) and includes a beverage. That's an absolute steal! Great food, great people, go check this place out.

Kofta kebab
Tommy O.

Had the kofta kebab, what was unique was that I never have been asked what spice level I wanted. I love spicy, so I asked for hot. It was the perfect level of spice and the tzatziki help keep me from sweating too much. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back when I'm in town again.

Noor Maza Special Platter (Hummus, baba ghanouj, 4 pieces of falafel, & pita bread)
Chapin S.

Our experience at Noor Cafe was top notch. From answering all of our questions/ making suggestions for accommodations based on our preferences, to the incredible presentation & quality of the food, to the immense flavors & (very generous) quantity on our plates, 2+ weeks later & we can not stop thinking, or raving, about our meal. Despite being an-order-at-the-counter setup, the owners/ chefs served us like a sit-down & were genuinely interested in our experience & feedback throughout the evening & each course we tried. My husband doesn't have a lot of experience with Mediterranean dishes, & came in thinking he did not like lamb... but we both fell in love with everything we tasted (well, savored). AND my husband was raving about the lamb to the point that he plans to go back for lamb kebobs, only; he's a convert! I've labeled each photo with what we ordered, but our favorites were definitely the mixed kebobs: the meat is so well-seasoned & cooked, with delicious veggies & rice, & Greek salad to accompany it. (Also, I haven't stopped thinking about their Garlic & Tzatziki sauces... I want to try them on everything I eat... ever! ) Any complaints in other reviews about the time it takes (though we didn't wait more than 15 minutes for each component) clearly do not appreciate superior, made-to-order food. Visit Noor Cafe, ASAP, & experience it for yourself. (And tell them Cory & Chapin recommended you go.)

Looking for delicious Indian food? Look no further!…read more I stopped in here with co-workers this week and we loved every bite of it! We tried the Nawabi Chicken Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala and cheese naan. Everything is so flavorful. Service was great and the restaurant was cool loved the decor. Only down side is the parking lot gets very busy not a-lot of spots.

The staff is nice and accommodating ensuring that every guest is taken care of. For my meal, I decided to try a mix of dishes all with medium spice and wasn't disappointed. I started with Butter Chicken, which was tender bites of chicken served in a rich, creamy tomato gravy that was perfectly spiced. The basmati rice served alongside was fragrant and fluffy, the perfect complement to the dish. Next, I had the Street Style Fried Rice add Chicken. It was a delightful mix of tender chicken, shrimp,vegetables and an infusion of Indian spices that gave it a unique, flavorful taste. The Tandoori Shrimp was another highlight with medium sized shrimp marinated in an aromatic blend of spices and grilled to perfection, served with a refreshing mint chutney. To top it all off was the Garlic Naan that was buttery soft and packed with garlic. Perfect for soaking up the sauce from the butter chicken and tandoori shrimp. Everything was flavorful and authentic, with generous portions that are more than worth the price!

Went for lunch -- swanky ambience, full stocked bar. Many of the interesting vegan fusion things I…read morewas drawn to the restaurant for were not available, but our server talked at length to the chefs and came up with some good choices. Ended up getting the Phool Makhana Bhel (roasted lotus seeds) as a crunchy, mildly spicy appetizer, which was delicious, and a generous portion. (Deeply flavorful spices, wonderful crunch.) Went with the dal (yellow lentil soup) and ghee-free crispy methi roti (fenugreek leaf spiced flatbread) for my main -- both were deeply satisfying and powerfully flavorful, as well as very filling. My friend's goat biryani was apparently terrific (according to her); we ate a pile of food, but still ended up taking containers home. For the record: medium spice was juuuuuuuust right -- didn't make the eyes water, but had a mild bit of a bite. Super interesting menu, even for vegans! Will have to try dinner here in future.

Golgappe shots: 9.5/10 -- really enjoyed this flight of different tastes. I would recommend this…read morefor 2 people to share (order more if you're a larger group that wants to try each flavor) bc they served 2 shots of each. interestingly~~ for $10 you can add vodka to your flight. I opted to enjoy mine the traditional way but it sounds like a fun option for vodka enjoyers! Butter chicken: 6/10 -- a little low for ME personally. Not trying to hate! I have had a fair share of delicious butter chicken and this was not as good as some of the others I have tried. It was just too sweet for my liking, although we did order a medium spice level. I think that anyone who did not grow up eating indian food would enjoy this very much so don't let my scale influence you on this specific dish. Cumin rice comes with the butter chicken! Garlic naan: 10/10 -- perfectly garlicky! flaky, buttery, and delicious!! Plenty of parking is available in the lot out front. When I went, the lounge/bar side of the space was still under construction but it should be open now! I need to revisit to check out some of the snack/drink options. Service was non existent so don't expect much there but it was not bad since we were just a table of 2.

You can tell Joe is a very proud chef, and with good reason! He told us that he even grows the chilis he uses to flavor the dishes in his own garden!

When we arrived no one was there to greet us; we found the owner by popping our head in the kitchen. He was super nice and explained he was short staffed today but led us to a table and got waters for us. We were 2 adults, one teen, and one kid who eats very little. We ordered 4 breads... garlic naan, house special paratha, aloo paratha, and keema paratha. These were all so fresh and flavorful, and great portion sizes especially on the stuffed ones for the price! You could make a meal of these alone. We ordered tikka masala, rice, and the owner suggested coconut curry which wasn't listed on our menus but was excellent. The tikka masala was rich and buttery and perfect. We loved all the food and had leftovers of everything. We will definitely be back!
