NOUR

NOUR is a contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant and bar in the lively heart of Surry Hills, Sydney. Its cooking draws on Lebanese tradition while taking a modern Australian approach, with an emphasis on bold flavour, fresh local produce and food designed to be shared.

The menu ranges from carefully presented mezze to inventive wood-fired mains, with the kitchen aiming for food that feels familiar while still offering a fresh perspective on Middle Eastern cuisine. The broader menu selection includes à la carte dining, bottomless banquets, drinks, dessert and lunch, giving visitors several ways to experience the restaurant. The website describes the dishes as seasonal, balanced and precisely prepared, with quality ingredients kept at the centre of the meal.

NOUR pairs that food with a setting intended to feel warm and sophisticated. Its design and service are presented as part of the experience, reflecting the restaurant’s focus on food, culture and connection rather than treating the meal as a purely formal occasion. The shared-dining format makes it a natural choice for groups wanting to explore a range of dishes together, while the polished setting also suits a more considered meal for two.

The restaurant’s unrestricted approach to food and drink has earned NOUR one hat in the Good Food Guide’s 2023 and 2025 awards. With a 4.8 Google rating from 3,338 reviews, it is also a well-established Surry Hills destination for diners looking for contemporary Lebanese and Middle Eastern cooking with a distinctly Australian point of view.
