Nara Restaurant & Lounge

Nara Restaurant Review

Nara Restaurant is a Mediterranean restaurant. The food presentation is excellent, with dishes that are both visually appealing and delicious. The kibbeh is a must-try, with a crispy crust and a flavorful filling. However, the hummus is not as good as the one you can buy at Costco.

The restaurant has plenty of parking and is wheelchair accessible. However, the environment is very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation at your table. Additionally, the food can take over an hour to arrive after ordering.

Overall, Nara Restaurant is a good option for a casual meal, but it is not ideal for a romantic dinner or a business meeting.

Here is a more detailed review of each item:

Food presentation: The food at Nara Restaurant is beautifully presented. The dishes are well-arranged and the colors are vibrant. It is clear that the chefs take pride in their work.

Overall: Nara Restaurant is a good option for a casual meal, but it is not ideal for a romantic dinner or a business meeting. The food is good, but the environment is too loud and the food wait time is too long. After my experience, I don't think I will return for a dinner, but I may try again for a lunch a day that I have time to wait for the food.

Nice restaurant, good service. Ordered falafel which was good. Muhamara and grape leaves were little dry. Plated very well though

Nara is the greatest middle eastern restaurant in the Jacksonville area! The place is special, spacious and very well decorated! The food is absolutely delicious! The service is great! The hookahs are amazing and specially made by a hookah expert Emad! I really enjoy this place and would definitely recommend! Cheers

This was one of the best mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life, the atmosphere is amazing, the service is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I will definitely be back and recommend all my friends and family to come try it out.

I absolutely love Mediterranean food, and there aren’t enough authentic places in Jacksonville… until Nara! I haven’t had a Falafel wrap that tasted this good since I left New York City!
Great ambiance and friendly staff. I can’t wait to take my wife here for a date!
