Food: Flawless taste, questionable prices
Nara's menu offers innovative yet hard to predict cuisine. The star dishes, Fattoush and Kabob, swing from lemony overdoses to dry disappointments. The Hummus' underwhelming flavor completes the unpredictable trio. Despite this, the creativity shines through and the perfectly seasoned kebab meat stands as testament to potential culinary excellence. The fresh ingredients boost the dining experience, but the prices might leave you thinking twice.
Large Portions

Okay Taste
Food has great taste, but service speed and attentiveness vary.
Bad Value
Prices insanely illogical; food whatever and employee attitude sucked.

Vibe: Endearing ambiance, overbearing noise
The bistro offers a romantic, cozy, and modern ambiance, complemented by unquestionably engaging live entertainment. Dance routines, music variety, interactive shows, and a general sense of fun prevail. However, this atmosphere pales on date night due to excess hookah smoke and loud music. Overpriced and unappealing wine doesn't help either.
Great To Entertain
Great live entertainment; dancing, music variety, interactive shows, and fun.
Bad For Dates
Loud music and hookah smell can be disruptive for a romantic evening.
Perks: Debatable service and kid-friendliness
Despite offering parking options both valet and street, and an enclosed patio that's comfortable across various weather conditions, Nara seems to lose its charm when it comes to service. Hard to get staff attention, slow service, and unprofessional interactions leave a bitter taste. It remains firm on its unsuitability for kids.
Great For Groups
Very accommodating staff, moved tables for larger party comfortably.
Okay Outdoor
Enclosed patio with heaters ensures comfort in various weathers.
Hard To Reserve
Hard to flag down staff for service, including ordering or refills.
