I love coming here with my family. We are welcomed with open arms and great customer service. But don't get me started on the food. The quality is top tier. Compared to other similar restaurants, you can taste the quality of the meat. There is an indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy. 10/10 recommend.

Nara has very good food, seating is comfortable, and the service almost always attentive. The service can improve a little especially when they are busier. Thursdays through Sundays there is nightly live entertainment. Since there is patio seating, you can smoke your cigars at the table. Nara is a great place to go with friends to celebrate special occasions or just because. Enjoy!

Food is delicious. I got the chicken breast kabob plate. Everything is freshly made and flavorful. Very friendly staff. They have outside seating. I'll definitely come back.

Ive been to NARA many times at night but today was the second time going for lunch. The restaurant opens at 12 and they were extremely accommodating since we were a bit early. The chef and hostess are both extremely sweet and the service is fast during lunch. All of the food was seasoned extremely well and its a great ambiance to be in. The portions are huge and their appetizers are delicious. Recommend for dinner and definitely recommend for lunch

The food is absolutely delicious, whether you’re enjoying an appetizer or a main course—everything is packed with flavor. The hookah is top-notch, smooth, and enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great time. And the weekend live music adds such a fun and lively atmosphere! Highly recommend this place for a fantastic night out.
