    Yum! We love coming here! The atmosphere is very relaxing. The food is incredible. The service is impeccable. We are very fond of the family that owns and works there. We have had just about everything on the menu. We come there for the lamb chops and beef skewers. The hummus is smooth and so tasty The garlic sauce is the bomb! We ask for extra to take home. Yum! We highly recommend this awesome place!

    Our hunt for the best Mediterranean restaurant lead us to Noah's Ark on our Friday Family Dinner. Very nicely set up interior and very delicious welcoming aroma of charbroil grilling. Seemed short staff and busy but our waitress was excellent in still providing service as well as taking care of To Go orders. I've taken pictures of the menu, some items are not available due to being seasonal; that was a bummer for us. But the food that we did order was delicious. We had Babgaduche, garlic sauce, pita bread, and french fries for appetizers. Main meals we ordered Chicken Kebab plate for our girls to share, Noah's Choice #2 for me, Beef Gyro, Chicken meatball soup, Bulgur w/mushrooms, and a slice of cheesecake to share. We shared and taste tested like always and the food was delicious. Inside is well kept and clean with a comfortable ambiance set by soothing music. Pros- pretty much everything was good!! Cons- I wish we would have Ben told that the meals came with garlic sauce, so I didn't have to order some with pita bread as an appetizer; we ended bring home Togo plates with lots of garlic sauce. We didn't really mind though. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends, and it's a great place to meet up for a nice meal. Drinks were Pink lemonade, Raspberry infused tea, Coke, and water. We almost forgot to take a pic of the cheesecake 🤭🤭🤭

    The beef was well seasoned and tender, the rice needed some flavor. The restaurant was very clean and the service was good!

    I was really impressed, I think Noah’s ark is one of the best middle eastern restaurants in town!! It was clean, the music was relaxing, the food was good ( it can always be better) but good so far, specially the rice. The salad was refreshing!!! I didn’t like the hummus. If you are looking for a clean family owned middle eastern restaurant, try that spot!!!

    That hit the spot! We tried the chicken kebab with grilled vegetables and the buckwheat almond salad. It was absolutely delicious, refreshing, and healthy.

    Nicely decorated and clean restaurant. Meat was juicy and flavorful. We tried the chicken and beef. Pita was warm and soft. I was really disappointed by the rice though 😫 I thought the rice pilaf was super flavorless almost tasting like just boiled rice.

    I got the chicken/beef combo and it was fantastic. It came with pilaf and salad with 3 pieces of pita. I have to say the beef was pretty darn good. Not putting down the chicken which was also delicious. Definitely recommend.

    Bad rude service Disrespectful customer service I ordered a meal over the phone for pick up for my family of four. Four large plate meals totaling over $55-60. After purchasing the meal I asked if could have an extra bag to carry the food in due to the fact that all of the food was loaded into one bag. The young lady asked me why I needed another bag. After explaining the situation, the young lady said that she didn’t think that I needed another bag and said that the one bag is enough. After asking kindly for a bag again she again refused a bag. I mentioned to her that I came to the location before and I had a bad experience and that this was my second time and I was given the location a chance. The first time the food was rushed close to closing and it was missing an item. After explaining that I had a bad experience she said why did you come back if you had a bad experience and why are you here now. I truly felt like I was being “punked” but I left there with my one bag pondering what it was that caused her to be behaving this way. I mean there was no I’ll-will on my part or rudeness. As I got home I explained the situation to my family and they said that I should at least call to speak with the owner. As I called you can guess who answered the phone and refused to give the phone to the owner. She did say that she was the only owner although she looked around 19 years of age. All I can say is that the food was better than average the second time around and that due to my customer service experience I can’t see myself returning. Lastly, I didn’t get her name but I did hear her say she was recently married. She is just mean…. :(

    Absolutely the best Mediterranean food in the valley. Hidden gem, great customer service & welcoming atmosphere. The meat is always super tender, rice is perfect, salads are always fresh. The garlic sauce is the best! And baklava when they have it is fantastic. Definitely try out if you are in the area.

    Noah's Ark is our favorite restaurant in Fresno, hands down. The place is family owned and independent. The daughters, who are usually servers, are so nice and remember customers well. The food is always tasty, hot, and cooked well. My girlfriend loves getting the chicken wraps with extra garlic sauce and hit sauce. I love everything on the menu. The dinner plates are really big portions and the baba ganoush is very tasty.

    The food here is hot and fresh. Yes you have to wait but it’s well worth it. The garlic cream sauce is addictive and the rice is “the bomb”. Service is excellent. And I t’s family owned and operated, which I love.

    The ambiance is good , but the service is super slow . The food is average . Tried it while I was close by , after paying, the server told me that wait time is 25-30 mins , I wish she had told this before placing the order .

    I had the lentil soup and the gyro. Both were good. One suggestion for the soup: in order to up the game for the soup, bring a couple wedges of lemon for squeezing in the soup plus crushed res pepper on the side and most importantly fresh crushed garlic. Please try it yourself put fresh garlic in the soup and mix it it will add to the flavor. Also the pita coming with the aoup should be hot :) overall good place.

    The food is excellent! Had borscht for the first time, soooo good! House tea was yummy, fruity. I had Noah's #2 because I could decide what meat to get! Beef, chicken, and lula...definitely will have again. My hubby had the lamb kebob, super good! This place has a peaceful atmosphere! Highly recommended!!!

    Very sweet waitress who was attentive and gracious. The food is so delicious. I had the Greek chicken salad which was so fresh and well seasoned. The chicken was hot, and the garlic sauce was a generous portion and very flavorful. I shared a pot of Armenian tea and it was so special. I’ll have to come back to have dessert soon!

    Very clean and neat restaurant. Waitress and staff were very courteous and pleasant. Ordered the beef and Chicken kabob plates. Both were delicious and were a large portion for the cost. Definitely will return to try other menu items.

    Today a girlfriend and I tried Noah's Ark for the first time and we were enchanted by EVERYTHING. The young lady who served us was delightful. The food was freshly prepared with great attention to detail, presentation, and taste. We'll definitely be back to sample more goodies from the menu. Stephanie Morris Girton

    Wife and I had lunch here. I grew up in Armenia and can say with confidence that the food is really on point. Great portions, great drinks (they had okroshka, hello!), and great deserts. They deserve way more customers.

  • 5/5 Swats 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite are any of the Lula Skewers which are amazingly delicious and the Garlic Sauce that accompanies it is divine! I also keep coming back for their cheesecake which is also soft and delicious. I've tried many items on their menu and have not been disappointed so far and keep going back for more to try something new. My favorite Mediterranean restaurant in town for sure!
