Want to go on an adventure? How about an international adventure that doesn't involve leaving the state? For me, food can truly transport you to another country, and what better way to experience other countries and their cultures than by visiting an international market? Nur Import Market is one such international market in Arizona that can take you on a virtual trip around the world without the need for a passport and a lengthy journey.
If you've ever dreamt about traveling to the Middle East, Africa, or Eastern Europe but haven't been able to leave the country, there's one international market in Tucson you have to try.
With its old-school corner store feel, the family-owned Nur Market and Restaurant specializes in foods from East Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. It was opened in 2008 by three brothers from Somalia.
It's located at 3565 E Speedway Blvd. in Tucson.
Perusing aisle after aisle of imported foods and goods from around the globe will transport you overseas. There are so many fascinating items you may want to try.
From baklava to nuts, chickpeas, spices, and so much more, you'll be inspired to travel or at least cook something new at home.
Want to try some international cuisine? I guarantee you'll want to order something from the in-store restaurant.
On the menu, there are several delicious options you can order. You may want to try the falafel plate with a side of pita bread, hummus, and tabouli or, perhaps, the chicken shawarma with basmati rice, tomatoes, onions, and red sauce.
Whatever you order will be fresh and delicous. And, who knows -- maybe it will inspire you to cook an international dish at home using ingredients found at the market.
