Nura

Nura serves hummus, falafel and shawarma in pita pockets, bowls and salads, with its Old School Falafel Pocket and Chicken Shawarma Pocket among the menu's core sandwiches. Snacks include shawarma-dusted fries, falafel by the piece and house-made hummus by the pint or quart, and the menu offers vegetarian, vegan and meat options. The kitchen also makes house sauces such as harissa, tahini and garlic-yogurt.

Nura is in Monument Square in Portland and has indoor seating along with takeout and delivery. Catering is available for events, and the business can bring its falafel truck to a function on request. Hours are listed as Tuesday through Saturday, with the kitchen closed Sunday and Monday.
