About Us.

Welcome to Nourish Restaurant, a culinary experience founded by Dr. Nour Aldossari — a scientist, chef, and storyteller. With a Ph.D. in environmental science and a lifelong passion for food, Dr. Nour blends the precision of science with the warmth of tradition to create dishes that not only satisfy but also connect.

Born in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Nour’s journey led him from the Middle East to Egypt and eventually to the United States — a path driven by curiosity and a deep desire to expand his knowledge of science and the world. That journey led to university labs and scientific discovery, but it also sparked something unexpected: a love for cooking that felt just as natural as conducting research.

For Nour, the kitchen became another kind of laboratory — a place to experiment, explore, and create. Whether studying microbes under a microscope or spices in a simmering pot, he found a common thread: precision, creativity, and care. Today, his kitchen is a “lab” where flavors are tested, cultures are honored, and food becomes a language of connection.

At Nourish, we bring the vibrant flavors of the Gulf and Mediterranean coast to Minnesota — with every dish thoughtfully crafted, every spice intentionally layered. Our food is rooted in the belief that cooking is both an art and a science, where ingredients, like people, come together in harmony.

We invite you to begin your visit with a cup of Arabic coffee — our treat. Before you sip, breathe in the rich aroma of cardamom. Let the saffron dance on your palate. Close your eyes and allow the flavor to transport you to the shores of the Mediterranean.

Nourish is named not only after our founder, Nour, but also for our mission: to nourish bodies, minds, and communities. We serve carefully prepared lunch offerings and provide memorable, heartfelt catering for corporate gatherings, celebrations, and special events.

Whether you’re here to enjoy a fresh, soul-satisfying meal or to experience a cultural journey through food, we’re here for you — because you deserve authenticity, artistry, and something made with intention.
