Why the banquet suits a first visit

Visitors who are new to NOUR often choose the banquet, a set menu that brings out a run of starters, mains and dessert for the table. It means you try the dishes reviewers mention most, including the octopus, the lamb and the batata harra, without choosing from the full list. Some diners add extra dishes to the banquet, such as more oysters or a second serve of batata harra, because the portions can feel small for a hungry table.
