Salad was great, flavors on point. The rest of the menu looked very appetizing as well. Fast pickup for takeout. The Will be back.

I visit every Lebanese / Syrian restaurant I can on the east coast. . This place is an epicurean delight . The food is amazing I mean it is well prepared. They spare nothing My family makes great Lebanese. But I will tell you. It is hard to beat this place Try everything. I wish this was near my home in Maryland . I visit my : 3 daughters who are scattered all over the Florida . I will return here read more

OMG!!! We are Lebanese and this is the BEST Middle Eastern restaurant we've tried... and we've tried them all! It tastes home made! We've been to the restaurant and also ordered uber eats. The other restaurants didn't include the sides when we ordered uber eats and the food was dry and cold. Samira's was a complete order, everything warm and soooo good! We ordered kibbeh balls, kefta, tabouli, hummus, babaganoush, fatoush, warak enab (grape leaves) and rice.... The owner is very friendly and caring. Can't wait to go on Tuesdays to get the malfouf (stuffed cabbage rolls) and Fridays to get the kibbeh niyeh... if you haven't been there... you are missing out! Thank you Samira's for your amazing food and saving me hours of cooking!!! read more

I dont get out much for lunch, but today I am working from home and decided to go out to lunch. I decided to go to Middle Eastern- Nora's fine cuisine. I do believe this is the BEST falafel, hummus and tabbouleh sandwich I have ever had. I bought extra hummus and tabbouleh. Sorry the picture does not due this hot sandwitch justice. I can wait to go back.. Enjoy! read more

Samira's Cafe - Falafel, hummus & tabbouleh pita sandwitch - Lebanese Near Me - Fruit Cove, Florida

This place just opened up in Julington Creek plaza so thought I'd give it a try. The owner also runs a smoothie/fresh juice shop out of the restaurant and the smoothie was one of the best tasting smoothies I've ever had!! I chose the one with dates in it because I wanted to be adventurous - loved it!!! Will say the Greek pita was a little different than what I was used to. It was more of a wrap than a pita. But I'd definitely go back for a smoothie :) read more

Having eaten food straight from the markets of Tel Aviv, I know how good, fresh middle eastern food should taste like. A few days before Christmas Eve, we went to Noura's and picked up a few things for our dinner. Below, I will give a review of all the dishes we tried. I am giving it four stars because some of the foods are really outstanding, but some others aren't worth it. I will say it was wonderful not to have to cook all day for one meal, and I haven't tried every dish, but if you go to Noura's, it might be helpful to know what is the best here. We grabbed their pita bread, hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, vegetarian kibbeh, Za'atar olive oil mix, vegetarian stuffed grape leaves, and their baklava. I am not sure if this is because it sat in the fridge for a couple of days and then we reheated it in the oven, but the falafel was SO DRY. The kibbeh was good but it wasn't a memorable taste. The baba ganoush would taste good to someone who loves smoke flavor, but we didn't. I thought I would be able to taste the eggplant in it but, alas, it was just creamy smoke that you tasted, so I ended up mixing it with the hummus and olive oil seasoning to get it down, because everything was very expensive and we didn't want to waste it. The pita bread was okay, but again, nothing special. I typically make naan bread instead of pita because I like how naan is more moist and flavorful. The hummus might've been pricey for what you get, but knowing how painstaking the process to make this dish from scratch is, it is a price I am willing to pay to get homemade hummus that tastes fresh and light. The hummus is a definite must if you love a wonderful hummus. Now- the Za'atar olive oil seasoning. Holy cow it tastes EXACTLY like how I had it from Tel Aviv! It's so great on the hummus, to dip in your sides, to put in your salad, or anything else you think to use it with. I get it, grape leaves is an acquired taste, but I have had amazing grape leaves that are everything you want: fresh, great texture, not to potent, and subtle flavor. I've had worse stuffed grape leaves, but I could only eat one before I was done and I didn't want more. It was very strong and it had one texture throughout, and that can get tricky after a few bites. BUT THE BAKLAVA. So amazing! It is very rich, but great depth of flavor! It tasted like a lovely shortbread cookie, but you get the hints and crunch of nuts and other fillings. Definitely get this dessert! read more

What an adorable little place with scrumptious food. Visited on a Thursday, so no crowds to deal with. We tried the lamb gyro, hummus, meat pie and shwarma. Everything was super yummy!! Prices were very reasonable. Can't wait to go back! read more

We love Noura, now known as Samira's Cafe in fruit cove. The food is always exceptional. My favorites are the lamb and chicken gyros. Everything tastes so good and fresh. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. I once came in right before they were closing for a private function and instead of sending me away, they gladly served me an awesome meal. A great family run business! read more

I got the MIXED PLATTER. Yum. I liked the it all! The lady cook and gentleman cashier were friendly and patient. Fresh food. I got it to go with no line and minimal wait :) read more

Delicious food! Happy they have this type of food nearby. The owner is really nice. Definitely try this place out!

Delicious! Best falafel and hummus I've had in Jax. They also have tons of fresh homemade vegan and vegetarian options. Great place for catering. Will definitely be back read more

Samira's Cafe - Lebanese Near Me - Fruit Cove, Florida

See all

Absolutely incredible. We just moved here and tried it for the first time. We've traveled abroad, including the Middle East, and nowhere have we found such wonderful flavors and freshness. Everything is made from scratch, and absolutely delicious. I wish I had time to go back there for dinner tonight. I had a chicken Shawarma and my wife a vegetarian platter. The grape leaves and falafel by far are the best we've ever had! Go and enjoy! read more

The Shawarmas are on point! I recently discovered this restaurant after enjoying a cup of coffee next door at Brass Tacks. A buddy of mine had a sandwich and it looked very delicious, so I walked over to Noura's and ordered the. Beef Shawarma The last time I had one of these was when I was deployed with the Navy to Bahrain & Dubai. It took a little while but I figured it was a new place so I kind of gave them the benefit of the doubt on the speed of service. The restaurant is fairly new and they're slowly stocking the coolers within the business. The beverage service wasn't the greatest; sodas and drinks in cans and bottles they did have sweet tea and pitchers on a side table. It was a very small quaint little place but still needs a little bit of improvements on the inside. **Overall the food is phenomenal I will definitely go back my wrap was great I'll be interested to try some different Greek and Mediterranean flavors. read more

We could hear the microwave warming up our food in the kitchen. The food was ok, not much flavor and you could taste it had been microwaved. For $16 a plate you would expect real plates and silverware not plastic ware and paper plates. No one ever came to check on us to see if we needed anything else. I would recommended Duna on Blanding Blvd if you want fresh Turkish food. Bathroom was also not clean. read more

I have never been disappointed with this restaurant. The food is always tasty, fresh and the portions are large. The service is great. The mood is always happy in here. I've only eaten at the Lakewood location but I'm excited that they've come out to St. John's where I live. read more

Amazing, fresh, best Arabic food in Jax area! I highly recommend that you try their sampler to get a taste of all they have to offer! It's all so good it's hard to choose a favorite. read more

I wasn't really expecting much from this small hole in the wall looking place but man the food is excellent. Baba ghanoush and the pastries were maybe the best I've ever had in any city. We also tried the shawarma, gyro, hummus, and tabouleh which were all excellent. Nice people too, picking up a to go order was a breeze. read more

Food is absolutely delicious, super fresh. fresh cold pressed juices next door within the store and yummy Mediterranean cuisine and affordable pricing. Win, win read more

Staff was very friendly. Visited once for the first time before getting some delicious coffee next door at Brasstacks. The food is very fresh. I ordered a beef shwarma plate and my husband got a chicken shwarma wrap and gyro. Everything was fresh and delicious. My favorite was the shwarma plate. It had rice, a fresh salad and a ton of beef. It also comes with some pita. Delicious!!! read more

I was so excited about this place... but unfortunately was disappointed. The first cashier didn't even know how to ring up our order of what was exactly written on the menu. We ordered a lamb gyro platter and a chicken gyro platter. Neither had tzatziki sauce, which I would expect. And the dressing on them and the "Greek salad" was nothing more than bottled Italian dressing. They have no drink machines so it's canned or tea. Overall wasn't impressed and will not be back. read more

Great food. Was very impressed. I would recommend this for good Mediterranean food. Service was great also

Stopped in to try this newer addition to the Bartram Oaks Walk plaza, as we were in the mood for some Greek/Mediterranean fare . The store was very clean and welcoming with a large refrigerated grab-n- go cooler and a good variety of items available . We both ordered the lamb gyro. The counter service was good, but the "gyro" not so much so. Literally 3 small gyro slices of lamb on a pita wrap with your typical gyro toppings. The sandwich was small (6-7 oz's or less), the meat was dry and essentially flavorless, and the pita wrap itself was also very dry. Very let down with the purchase. I was hoping to find a great new place to add to my Mandarin dining venues but unfortunately, this will not be one of them. read more

Loved my tabouleh melt pita! Great portion sizes; very fresh! Tables and chairs were comfy and clean. Will definitely return!

Food is fresh and wonderful. I would highly recommended any of the dishes offered. You will be very pleased with the service and definitely the cuisine. read more

I'm so happy they opened this location in Fruit Cove. Their hummus, grape leaves, tabbouleh and Greek salad are so yummy!

Absolutely superior menu and exceptional flavor in each and every dish. It's a refreshing change from the chain restaurants with an authentic Mediterranean and Arabic flavor! Couldn't recommend it more highly! read more

Ordered from here last night! Amazing!!! Def recommend the falafel pita... with extra sauce my husband and I are a huge fans!

Amazing fresh tabbouleh and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). Staff is very friendly as well!

Friendly staff and great food! The juices they make are also very good. The atmosphere is welcoming and so is the staff. I had the falafel and the gyro platter, my favorite out of the two is the falafel which comes in pita bread like a wrap. read more

Very disappointed in the new location. Service was mediocre, food was down right bad and incredibly slow. The fattoush salad used to be my go to. At this location it was a $13 box of lettuce.Ordered a glass of water and was then directed to pull a warm bottle straight out of the case. Ordered falafel with my box of lettuce and it came about 20-30 minutes after we were all finished. So sad considering the University Blvd location is great. read more
