Nora Restaurant and Bar 205 North Bishop Avenue, Dallas, TX 75208

"Came here while visiting the Bishop Arts District and was immediately taken with the decor, followed soon by the pleasant personnel. We sat outside in their covered dining area and enjoyed a couple lamb dishes, along with the drink of the day. We started with potato & leek balanee, crunchy wonton-like exterior with a peppery soft filling adorned optionally with a minty spiced yogurt. The lamb was perfectly tender in both the Qalani Palau and the Korma. Mine was the lamb korma; the sauce was rich and flavorful, but not heavy- paired with lightly perfumed jasmine rice that was exactly the right texture. I shared the Tiramisu Martini with my wife, which was sweet and smooth and generous enough with the booze, with a cute pink heart drawn on the top. We finished off with a dessert whose name I forget, but was a silky cardamom-infused delight with a crushed pistachio garnish. No complaints whatsoever, and I look forward to bringing my wife here again. Forgive the pictures, I was into the food and forgot to take good ones."

"Exotically delicious! The lamb shank fell of the bone... spices were out of this world! Note: I came on a Saturday, the restaurant opened at 1pm, not Noon"

"The food is decent. The server gave some good suggestions. Flies kept landing on the food though due to bar being opened to the outside and people using the door into the dining room. Service to be honest, was lackluster, and very slow after we got our food. Everything is way overpriced and many entrees are the same as the appetizers but bigger. Food often comes out cold or lukewarm. Ambiance is very nice though."

"The Ghabili palao I ordered was simply delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the tender lamb complemented the fragrant saffron rice perfectly. The Chicken with Yogurt was absolute delight too. The cocktail was both unique and significant, crafted with care and attention to detail. I also tried Mantoo as the starter. It tasted unlike anything I had tried before. Although it was good but I may not be certain about having it again at this point."
