Last night (2024 Christmas) a friend and myself went downtown to have an afternoon Christmas lunch. I live in this town but had never gone to Cafe Nur. I did some research ahead of time and the reviews looked quite good. The problem was, I had some brain-fog and we ended up in the wrong restaurant but didn't know it and stayed for an early dinner. The owner/bartender helped us pick out our food on a large list of items, located at his register. I had expected sitting down first and then going through the menu. We also had to pay, before we sat down. He had one of the latest gadgets that show the amount due and how much to tip. I always tip AFTER the meal is finished, not before. I read somewhere that TIP means "To Insure Prompt service". I didn't really have a clue as to what Greek items we had ordered, but it did taste quite good.Another major negative that I have to tell about, and that is, the temperature that day was around 53 degrees, and the entrance door was wide open! The restaurant was very cold and had several flies buzzing our table. So, there we were, eating a nice dinner, freezing our butts off and swatting at flies. Here's a little advice to the friendly owner . . . close the door when it's cold,have a menu in English, and tell the waiter to visit the table sometimes, oh, and maybe pass out fly swatters to your customers.

Living close by and not sure why we haven't been here before!! Amazing Turkish food in a beautiful setting. It is supposed to be casual dining and the setting, good and presentation stands out as more!!!We opted for the special of the day lamb and kofte platter and sat outside on a beautiful Friday evening and excited that downtown Los Altos had the Friday night buzz with many diners out!!The food was prepared in a timely manner, the presentation was beautiful (see pictures), and the taste was amazing. Not sure why some reviewers complained about the meat not being juicy, both the kofte and lamb were full of flavor and juicy!! The sides of babaganush and hummus was amazing as well. Wish we could have tried the desserts. Maybe next time...BTW, was tempted to try the Turkish breakfast for dinner and decided to go back for breakfast once...

My girl and I are in the Bay Area frequently. We have been exploring the different Main Streets in the cities of the peninsula. We landed in Los Altos Friday afternoon. What a charming district.We love to Thrift so the Discovery store was our first stop. Then we realized we were famished and we strolled across the street based on the recommendation of the lady behind the counter at the Discovery store!Cafe Nur was deserted at 1:30 in the afternoon. We both ordered the lamb and beef gyros, I had the plate she got the wrap. I also got us an order of the baklava (2 pieces).My lunch was spectacular. The meat was a perfect portion of well seasoned, tender meat, with a glorious salad and the rice pilaf was delicious!The wrap was the exact same ingredients, but was a tender envelope of soft flat bread. The baklava was stuffed with pistachio perfection, crispy and sweet. The small cups of hot tea were a dreamy accompaniment.The flavors were so authentic, the service was fast and efficient! We sat on the patio and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon!We like Los Altos very much. I think we may make this a regular stop on our way to Half Moon Bay!

Cafe Nur was delicious. I had their beef and lamb rice plate. It was delicious, filling and had a refreshing salad. Certainly worth a visit for your next lunch.

Great service and I like the decor as well. Now for the food - we had breakfast here and it did not disappoint! The eggs had very good spices to it. The pita bread was OK but the rest of the food made up for it. Meat is halal. .- Try it out ! We had the Turkish breakfast for two - which was also reasonably priced!

Finally had an opportunity to stop in for a late lunch. Was pleasantly surprised how fresh and flavorful the food was. I had the salmon entrée with a wonderful salad, very fresh wonderful dressing and the hummus appetizer and then they brought out a complementary Turkish tea. Would definitely come back again.

The owner and employees are so gracious and kind. When we visit Cafe Nur, we feel like we have left the U.S. and traveled to a place where there is time for a shared, delicious meal with friends. Everything we have tried for breakfast, lunch and dessert has been very fresh, flavorful and healthy with generous portions. Do yourself a favor and visit Cafe Nur. Don't mind the street work, the interior is very nice! Enjoy!

My good friend and I come here monthly for our catch up days. He's a vegetarian and still manages to find the food super tasty. The people who work here are very kind and brought us tea to enjoy with our dessert. Ask for extra olives. They make everything taste better!

While in the Los Altos downtown, we were looking for a spot to eat and found this on Yelp. It was a nice find. We enjoyed the food on the hot day and sat outside under the umbrellas on the benches. I ordered a greek salad with chicken and it was very good and fresh. It came with few pieces of bread on the side. The service was great. I would recommend!
