Been coming here since they opened and I was nerve disappointed with anything. Food is amazing, drinks are perfect, and the hookah just hits different and they just added Arabic sweets and it’s very delicious. Love it here I recommend this place to everyone.

Mediterranean food lovers, rejoice!We've found a new gem - Nara, located off Baymeadows Rd.Our dad, who's from Lebanon, gave it his stamp of approval and we can't agree more.The menu may be limited, but the flavors are anything but. We enjoyed fattoush salad, hummus, fried cheese, lamb and kefta kebabs, and a chicken schwarma platter.And if you're looking for a fun night out, come on a Saturday and dance the night away - the interior is perfect for it! There's also outdoor seating for all of you hookah lovers!We're excited to go back and we highly recommend you give them a try!

Absolutely fantastic customer service. Amazing acknowledgment as you walk in the door. My first time here, and I simply wanted a snack and ordered kibeh, and they threw in a hummus and their very own homemade fresh baked pita bread as well. Extremely thin and somewhat elegant to my liking. I definitely will be coming back for a bigger meal.

This was one of the best mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life, the atmosphere is amazing, the service is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I will definitely be back and recommend all my friends and family to come try it out.

Nara is the greatest middle eastern restaurant in the Jacksonville area! The place is special, spacious and very well decorated! The food is absolutely delicious! The service is great! The hookahs are amazing and specially made by a hookah expert Emad! I really enjoy this place and would definitely recommend! Cheers

The food was good and service could be little bit better. There was some provate event going on when I visited, we did have only out door seating which I like but it was cold when we visited, it could be better of they had some more heaters and the service was little caotic, we had to call them again and again.
