"This was my first time at the restaurant and my goup and I loved it! Our waiter made some suggestions on what he considered to be their signature dishes and he was absolutely correct. My friends and I tried all the different plates and we were all very impressed. The location is awesome -very trendy neighborhood/section of Lower Greenville. The prices are good, most entrees are less than $20.00 and the portions are good sized. Several of my friends took home leftovers but I ate every bite! The wine selection had a lot of different varieties/regions and we enjoyed the Turkish red that we ordered (the waiter was kind enough to let us sample). We also drank their signature martini and it was wonderful/not too sweet.Can't wait to go back!"

"Fairly decent, albeit slightly overpriced - spotted silverware, caring staff, though they disappeared at times, gorgeous natural sunlight streaming through at 5:30/6 on a brisk march evening, decent portion sizes. The food could have been better - while the lamb kabob was tender, it lacked a certain panache or punch - the same with the rest of the meal. Muddled flavors, slightly crushed texture to the grilled veggies, but it was okay overall. I'm glad that they had sriracha, but I don't feel as though it fits in with the afghan vibe of the food. I will say that the interior was a little euro chic and reminded me of a cafe in madrid. The food has potential, and given their sizeable menu, I'm willing to give it another go"

"We went to Nora for my birthday recently and it was wonderful! The patio outside, our waitress, the amazing food and then getting to meet the family who owns the restaurant and Nora was all perfect! It is truly a neighborhood gem and a foodie destination. We will be back soon for dinner and the brunch sounds amazing too."

"Nora was outstanding in every regard. The service was prompt and seamless, without that "being watched" feeling you sometimes get. The food was superbly seasoned and prepared."

"This place is going downhill. On a Saturday night at 7, two tables occupied. We were immediately told that 3 of the wines on the short wine list were not available. We had previously enjoyed the food on several occasions, but this time it seemed like food truck quality at much higher cost. We wanted this place to work becasue it was unique in the area but I think we will not be returning."
