Our Story
How does one squeeze fifty-five years of history into a few paragraphs?
Nader Bou Antoun and Jocelyne Bou Antoun’s restaurant adventure began in the early phases of ethnic tensions of Lebanon in 1970. The family focus was not on the battlefield but in the kitchen mastering the culinary craft while Nader passionately pursued mastery of management and hospitality.
Their early success and struggles led them to expand in 1980 and introduce the Lebanese culinary experience to the world in Paris. Building into a multiple location Parisian operation naturally led to further expansion in London in 2000 and what Nader calls his six gems;
Noura Delicatessen Est. 1999, Noura Belgravia Est. 2000, Noura Mayfair Est. 2003, Noura Piccadilly Est. 2004, Noura Lounge Est. 2005 and the latest addition to the family, Noura Kingston Est. 2020.
In 2026 we proudly celebrate 27 years of Noura in the UK.
