About NOUR

Crown Street's vibrant dining room redefines classic Levantine mezze with fire, smoke, and sharp modern craft. Banquets flow without pause—crisp batata harra dipped in garlicky toum, wood-roasted pumpkin, and tender shawarma wrapped in warm bread. Pull up a stool at the open kitchen counter to watch the crew sear scallops in burnt butter and slice twice-cooked duck against the hearth. Desserts make a lasting impression, particularly the woodfired coconut basbousa matched with cardamom custard and melting Jersey milk ice cream.

  • Celebration banquets: Banquets run smoothly with shareable spreads like duck, smoky fish, and house beetroot with sheep's curd.
  • Open-kitchen counter: Counter seating looks straight onto the open hearth as cooks blister pita and grill seafood over coals.
  • Modern Levantine craft: Traditional dishes get reimagined through wood-roasted pumpkin, fermented chilli, and charred seasonal touches.

  • Inventive Modern Levantine Flavors

    The kitchen pairs modern Australian culinary refinement with Middle Eastern tradition, crafting balanced, unexpected flavor combinations across mezze and mains.

    The food was unexpected, I haven’t had much middle eastern food before and this provided me with a bridge to taste middle eastern flavours whilst still having the comfort of modern Australian.

Signature creations and beloved banquets defining the NOUR experience

  • Signature Banquet

    Florian recommended the banquette which was absolutely loved.

  • Twice Cooked Duck

    the twice cooked duck was hearty balanced beautifully with oranges and plums.

    Jason Korr

  • Beetroot Mezze

    The beetroot mezze was an absolute standout! Possibly my favorite of the night, if it’s possible to pick a favorite. The earthiness of the beetroot with the sharp pop of pomegranate and the creaminess of sheep’s curd, all scooped up with their house pita… it sounds simple but the flavours were so layered and vibrant.

  • Batata Harra

    We started with the batata harra, deceptively simple but the crispy potato with that punchy fermented chilli and creamy toum was immediately addictive.

  • Woodfired Coconut Basbousa

    And to finish, the woodfired coconut basbousa. One of the only things I actually got a photo of. The warm, caramelised coconut with that fragrant cardamom custard and the cold Jersey milk ice cream melting into it, the contrast of temperatures and textures was incredible. The best dessert I’ve had in Sydney so far.

  • Nour Sundae

    Get the Nour Sundae for dessert for a massive chocolate hit.

  • Tamuru Passion

    On the drinks side, I had the Tamuru Passion, and it was spectacular. I felt a bit awkward, when it was served with a spoon, but I figured it out. Fruity and aromatic with the passionfruit and elderflower, but what really set it apart was the blood orange granita sitting on top, and scooping that frozen little hit of citrus into the cocktail as you go made it feel like a really special experience, not just a regular drink.
