Excellent food and very friendly staff. The wraps are healthy and delicious. The hot tea in the glass cup takes me right back home :) This is one of my favorite places for Turkish/ Middle Eastern food. Highly recommend !

Great food. The taste is very good and the meal is well balanced, with meat, rice, and multiple vegetables. It took a little time to prepare, but that shows it was made fresh. The owner is welcoming. When I ordered dessert, he offered me tea that paired with it, which showed he really stands behind the food.

Cafe Nur is a great Mediterranean spot in Los Altos! I came here for breakfast and tried their shakshuka — it was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and served fresh and hot. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. Definitely one of the best places around for a hearty, flavorful Mediterranean breakfast. Highly recommend it!

We have ordered only twice so far. The Greek salad is spectacularly good, as was the Adana wrap; and we enjoyed the Vegetarian Combo. The shawarma chicken on the Greek salad with chicken item was tough and chewy; and had little flavor, as if it had been left over from a day or two ago--most disappointing as I had read reviews praising it.

While in the Los Altos downtown, we were looking for a spot to eat and found this on Yelp. It was a nice find. We enjoyed the food on the hot day and sat outside under the umbrellas on the benches. I ordered a greek salad with chicken and it was very good and fresh. It came with few pieces of bread on the side. The service was great. I would recommend!
