NAR

We had a really enjoyable meal at Nar and are glad we discovered this new offering in Mountain View. They’ve done a lovely job in establishing an elegant ambiance in what has served a variety of different restaurants over the years. Service is very friendly and informative. Menu is a mix of familiar Central Asian/Pan Arab dishes and unfamiliar Azerbaijani specialities. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We don’t normally order dessert but there were also some interesting sweets, so we shared. They have several Central Asian wines to try as well!

Visited NAR restaurant and had an amazing experience. The food was incredibly delicious, everything was fresh and well-prepared. The place is very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend — we will definitely come back!

1/3/2026 NAR Restaurant 286 W El Camino Real Mountain View, CA 94041 I went to this new Azerbaijani/American place on ECR in MTV next to the Jack in the Box. This was recently a Chinese restaurant and has been nicely remodeled with an upscale contemporary table and chair setup interior. There is parking that wraps around the building. I ordered the Ciz Biz (pronounced Ch) lunch plate along with the suggested bread. Service was helpful, attentive and good. The bread loaf came first and was very long (could feed 4). It was a little chewy but soft and good. The Ciz Biz (beef liver slices with potato cubes and some grilled onions) is good if you like liver and the onions. Be sure to ask for more onions because the flavor and sweetness accompanies the liver well. Great place for liver and onions lovers. It's repeatable.

We made a reservation for 10 people. The table was ready by our arrival. The owner greeted us and made a conversation in Azerbaijanian, Russian and English. It was our first time and we ordered a lot!! Everything was absolutely delicious. We just came back from Baku, and being in this restaurant reminded us about our wonderful trip. I loved everything: the atmosphere, the service and the food. Highly recommend this place to everybody who wants to have a great time and a wonderful meal.

An inviting restaurant to enjoy a very nice dinner. From the warm welcome upon entering, to the delicious food and attentive service, everything was great. Definitely will be coming back again.

An incredible new gem in the South Bay! We visited NAR Restaurant today on their opening day, and everything was truly impressive — from the warm atmosphere to the beautifully presented dishes. We tried the Ciz Biz, Piti, and Saj Chicken, and each one was outstanding! The Ciz Biz was sizzling and full of deep lamb flavor, the Piti was rich and comforting with chickpeas and tender meat, and the Saj Chicken was perfectly marinated and cooked on the cast iron pan — so juicy and aromatic. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience felt like dining in a high-end restaurant with a very welcoming family touch. It’s exciting to finally have an authentic Azerbaijani/Caucasian restaurant in the Bay Area.

I’m so glad my friend told me about Nar restaurant. It’s the perfect place if you want to try a new cuisine that’s full of flavor and the authentic vibe of the Caucasus mountains. We had khachapuri, choban salad, and eggplant rolls everything was fresh, super tasty, and the service was great! The wine was amazing too, made with traditional methods and full of rich flavor.

Very awesome experience! Atmosphere was great, spacious for a large party and music not too loud so we could all talk. Service was on point and super friendly. Food all tasted great. We tried 2 semi-dry wines both were quite on the sweet side though. For large parties they can also do pre-fixe menu which helps to keep the budget in check while making sure everyone tries different things, which we will for sure do next time.

⭐ 5/5 I stopped by for the first time today and was genuinely impressed. It’s great to find a place that serves Azerbaijani and Caucasian cuisine with this level of quality. I ordered the Cizbiz, which is a dish of liver and potatoes fried together in a pan, and it was delicious. The liver was tender, the potatoes were perfectly crispy—overall a very satisfying plate. For dessert, I tried the Malaga Cake, and it was the perfect way to finish the meal. Soft, creamy, and with a light banana flavor, it exceeded my expectations. The place is clean, the service is quick, and the staff is friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu.

The atmosphere is wonderful! It was elegant yet welcoming. The service was very nice and impressively speedy, while still maintaining fine-dining–level politeness and manners. The food was delicious; the lamb was especially good and arrived quickly. The flower/fruit tea was amazing — you can smell its aroma the moment you step into the restaurant. We had the lunch course, which we really enjoyed, and the breakfast menu looked equally amazing. very exotic and special to us. We’ll definitely be back to try breakfast next time!

An Unforgettable Azerbaijani Dining Experience at Nar Restaurant If you’re looking for truly authentic, fresh, and homemade Azerbaijani food, Nar Restaurant is an absolute must. We started with eggplant rolls and mangal, and both were excellent. Then we had the lentil soup, which tasted completely homemade, warm, and comforting, along with a fresh and flavorful Choban salad. For the main course, we ordered Ciz Biz and Saj Chicken. I have to especially mention the Ciz Biz — it was incredibly nostalgic and took both my husband and me straight back to our childhood and our mother’s cooking. This is not a dish you usually find in restaurants, and this was the first time I ever experienced such an authentic and perfectly made version. Made with lamb liver and potatoes, it was absolutely outstanding. The Saj Chicken, prepared with Cornish hen and fresh vegetables, was equally delicious, with a truly homemade taste. What really sets Nar Restaurant apart is the freshness and homemade quality of the food — you can genuinely taste the care in every bite. On top of that, the restaurant owner ,Hikmat, is incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the entire experience even more special. I also can’t say enough about the bread — it’s baked in-house and was so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating it. For dessert, we had the San Sebastian cheesecake and Azerbaijani baklava, and both were absolute masterpieces and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Highly, highly recommended. I will definitely be coming back many times to try every single item on the menu. An authentic, heartfelt, and unforgettable dining experience.

New Middle Eastern restaurant with very authentic flavors. Seasoning is well balanced, lamb is tender with no gamey taste, and the hummus pairs perfectly with the fresh bread. Comfortable atmosphere and a great place to sit and chat. Would come back.

The food is great and unique in the area. I haven’t had anything like it. The owner is clearly passionate and excited about his new restaurant, and his personality really makes me cheer for this place's success. The portions are small, so you may want to order a side or an app alongside your main entrée. In my estimation, the amount of food isn’t worth the price, but whether the uniqueness is worth the price tag is up to you. So far as the ambiance, the lighting is too warm, making it difficult to enjoy the way the food looks. I’m sure it’s very pretty. I also did accidentally get charged for a complimentary item, which was a bummer.

We had a wonderful experience at NAR Restaurant hosting our book club lunch. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by beautiful light, crisp white linens, and a calm, elegant atmosphere. We enjoyed fragrant hot tea and an array of delicious dishes from the Kavkaz region — everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and to our delight, we were treated to a lovely tasting of their pomegranate wine at the end. Thank you for your warm hospitality and a truly memorable afternoon. We will definitely be back.

We visited NAR Restaurant for breakfast with our family, and everything was excellent. The food was good , the tea was incredibly aromatic, and the hospitality truly felt authentic and Caucasian — something we’ve really been missing in Mountain View for a long time. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for a family meal. We will definitely be coming back for dinner. Highly recommended!

Ysmayyl Orazgulyyev

Absolutely amazing experience at Nar. Everything was perfect from the food to the service. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend!

Amazing atmosphere and attentive service. I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but the food overall leaned on the mild side for us. The lamb shank was flavorful, though it would benefit from being served in a larger bowl to better retain heat and accommodate the vegetables. The lamb kofta was a bit dry, possibly overcooked. The jalapeño poppers were fine, with a more casual, comfort-food vibe. On the brighter side, the fries were great, the cheese bread boat was delicious, and the dolma really stood out. The rice was beautifully fragrant; once we added a bit of salt, it tasted excellent. Having tried Georgian cuisine (similar) elsewhere, we feel this spot has a lot of potential and could really shine with a bit more confidence in seasoning. The Bay Area has adventurous palates, and a little extra depth and boldness would likely be well received. Still worth trying; just be prepared to reach for the salt shaker!

If you are looking to experience something different, then this is the place since it’s the first Azerbaijani restaurant I n South Bay. The food didn’t impress me because everything had the same sauce, pomegranate ( the name Nar means pomegranate, but that doesn’t mean you should use it literally). I’m sorry but almost everything was bland. The only dish that I will reorder again is the Eggplant soup. Every other dish was over priced with tiny portions. Service on the other hand, was absolutely wonderful. The owner checked on every table on few rounds. Would I go back? Perhaps, if I crave eggplant soup! I truly want to give them 5 stars, but it won’t be fair to real 5 stars restaurants.
