I had the pleasure of dining at Nuri, and it was nothing short of amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish exceeding expectations. The staff provided excellent recommendations that perfectly complemented the flavors and ambiance. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Special shoutout to Gideon, our server, who truly elevated the experience with his friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and deep knowledge of the menu. If you’re looking for a place that offers great food, exceptional service, and an unbeatable atmosphere, Nuri is the place to go. I can’t wait to return for a third time!

We had a anniversary dinner date here. They received us both well with smiles and attention. They had a not wishing us a happy anniversary and rose petals around the center light. Our food was delicious! They were nice enough to give us dessert on the house. Always a lovely experience here.

We had a great dinner here on Saturday. We were sat at the bar and Octavius the bartender took care of us. He was so personable and funny and made our dinner a blast. I got the club and my spouse had the burger, both were so delicious. We loved our evening here.
