— Light of the Levant —
Levantine cooking over charcoal — mezze, slow tagines and wood-fired grills, served in a room of copper light and olive wood.
The meaning
Food is how a table comes alive — the olive oil, the charcoal, the herbs crushed at the last moment. It is hospitality in its oldest form.
‘Noor’ is the glow over a long dinner in Richmond: Levantine cooking, careful service, and a room that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like an occasion.
Noor is a place of gathering — of celebrations, of business, and of pleasure. Let the light in. — The Noor Promise
