    Ice vegan chai latte

    Quaint place Friendly service Falafel moist and tasty, really like dusted fries and plenty for $5.56 odd pricing model Would recommend. Other person had steak shawarma that was decent with shavings of beef

    I just died and went to falafel heaven. I've been looking for the perfect falafel ball for ten years and I just found it. Perfectly fried, perfectly seasoned and so moist my mouth just exploded. Soooo delicious!

    Falafel Side Hummus Bowl

    Amazing falafel & hummus. I will come here every time I am in Portland Just needed a snack but I look forward to trying more of their menu on my next visit :)

    Amazing service and great food!! The ambiance is casual but the food more than compensates for everything. The place was kept clean too. It is one of the best falafel I have had in New England area. It was light, crunchy from outside, thankfully not dry from Inside and full of flavor. The hummus was smooth and tasty. My falafel sandwich was so different and it was a party of flavors in my mouth. The salad was great and the fries were delicious. The portion size was good and the food was fresh. We went there 10 mins before they close but they did not frown even once, did not rush us and were so kind and patient with us. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

    Falafel salad

    Wow. Normally, I would never swoon over a salad or wish I could eat one everyday, but after trying the falafel salad today at Nura, I legitimately wish I could eat that every day. It was SO flavorful, perfectly dressed, and filling. Their falafel is top tier in both flavor and texture. The tahini sauce is a slightly thinner hummus which made the salad not too weighed down. It also included a vinaigrette which was delicious, leafy greens, and thinly sliced cucumbers and watermelon radishes which were a great pairing. For a fairly small space they have a good amount of seating, and the service was friendly and fast. I also know they do a lot to support the nursing community to my hats off to them. This was the perfect lunch and I will absolutely be back.

    Chicken shawarma

    So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant! Not sure what to order? The veggie falafel was AMAZING. My husband got the chicken shawarma which he thought was good, but he liked the falafels more. Quick dine it or grab and go. Friendly staff as well!

    delicious, better price, fresh, taste good etc 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.

    Came in with my husband for lunch on a sunny Sunday in April There was indoor seating available We went with chicken shawarma in a pita and a hummus bowl (with an extra pita) The shawarma sandwich was tasty and packed with chicken, but I loved the bowl, it was PERFECT for sharing We were also VERY glad that we ordered an extra pita Pita bread here is exceptional, consider ordering a few to take home!

    Absolutely fabulous!! We've been 6 times already and the owner is always present and is there to ensure the best quality and experience. The chicken shwarma is perfect and their falafel is good enough to compete in the Middle East. They have a very nice quiet outdoor seating area that is dog friendly. Highly recommend!!! My only complaint, and what would make this 6 out of 5 stars, is that their harissa sauce is the spiciest they have. We love spice!!! Please consider offering customers a sauce option with some heat!

    So good! We got the Nura falafel, the classic falafel and a side of fries. I was surprised about the beets but it was actually really good especially with the hot sauce. The side of fries was really good and they give you a lot. Such a good place.

    This was a gem! We ordered online and the food was ready within 15 mins of them opening. I would highly recommend the mushroom pockets, it was bursting with flavors. I've had a lot of Mediterranean in my life and this is most flavorful so far. The falafels that I added as extra with this, was beyond delicious. The humus had a good consistency and tasted really fresh. One of the best restaurants in Portland, ME so far! The lady at the counter was very nice and friendly too. We would go back in a heartbeat. Tip- You can order online or call them for pickup. The shop is inside the building with other businesses.

The bread used is delightfully soft and crunchy in all the right ways. The meat is flavorful and high quality and the ingenious construction of the sandwiches are bar-none. It's a small shop, so plan on taking your sandwich to go and eat at a nice spot in the east end neighborhood.

    Urg. I was excited to try this place but the egg sandwich I got (the Ramona with broccoli rabe,…read morebacon, American cheese) fell short. The roll was ever so slightly stale and the broccoli rabe had chili in it (so even though I asked for chili on the side it's still in the vegetable part). I also have a total pet peeve about American cheese. In this instance, it just made the sandwich have a gluey internal texture. I often find it is gourmet places trying to be trendy that use American cheese as though they are able to rebrand it. Sharp American or not, the cheese would have been way better in my opinion had it been cheddar or Swiss or really anything. To be fair, the bacon was well-cooked and the eggs were nicely scrambled. Although the sandwich idea is original (broccoli rabe on a breakfast sandwich), I found the flavors just didn't come together. For what it's worth, service was friendly and efficient. Moreover, like a few other places on the East End, I find this place is just sort of too curated, overly self-conscious, and trying too hard to be trendy. I would take a straightforward breakfast sandwich over one that comes with a side of merch and a Brooklyn-hipster-like environment any day.

The Philly cheesesteak was very good. A large was big enough to split between my teenage son and I. The roast beef was good, but I got a blast of horseradish up the nose after what I thought was a clump of Cole slaw, and I was done. My husband enjoyed his Reuben. Wish I could have tried just my order of Cole slaw. Maybe next time... I wished I had ordered the fries after seeing how thin and crispy they were. Waitstaff was busy, but sweet and helpful. Everything seems to be homemade there. Will definitely try again.
