I always come here when in Tuson to get my Kenyan stuff since it's also a market. This trip I was alittle sad that they had no Sambusa or East African tea but the food we got the chicken shwarama and the Lamb with rice was really good.
The staff was very friendly as always and attentive despite how busy it got which is always appreciated. I definitely recommend for some East African cuisine which is not alot out here.
I do half of my groceries at Nur, I wish they had more Maghreb stuff but I understand it's not the demographic here. They sell products imported from Europe and the Middle East so you know the quality is top notch. I especially recommend the cheeses and the chocolate treats, because the chocolate candies are imported from Europe they taste 10000 times better than those manufactured in the USA.
I purchased a container of fenugreek seeds here and they are delicious and aromatic. This is my go-to shop for spices int he future!
Good food, nice portions, best of all good price. I've never had a shwarma made with curry before, but it was actually quite good. The pita was soft enough, plenty of meat, and veggies were very fresh. They did not skimp on the tahini either. The people are Somali and very nice, especially the man that runs the front market area. Give them a try!
Everytime I go they are friendly and helpfull. They have saffron, fir 7.99, at Safeway its over 20
Best Gyros in town, their rice is also pretty amazing. Highly recommend.
Beyond thankful! Halal meat, basmati rice, spices…❤️
I don't know why I didn't try this place sooner. Had lots of things I've been struggling to find, like red palm oil and dried limes. It's peaceful and quiet and the staff will help you if you ask, or else leave you to shop in peace. Most of the produce was beautiful frehness-wise too. I mean these tomatoes were literally pristine.
Great African ingredients you could find any seasonings to make a great meal. Regular grocery stores don't carry the item they've. They're always ready to assist you taste test there food before buying.
Enjoyed the chicken shawarma and beef sambusa (sp?).The owners made us feel welcome and were very hospitable. The restaurant is in the back while
the front is a well stocked store with interesting
products.
