    Great, authentic Egyptian food from the grill to your table great drinks as well. Had fun watching all the World Cup games here 10/10 good customer service very fast very respectful. Great vibes this place makes me feel like I'm back home in Egypt.

    I will NEVER come back to the place the food was a big disappointment. Im mostly upset because I ordered and was charged for a oxtail plate. Made it home to give to my husband it wasn't an oxtail plate but a neck bones. Im LIVID!! Because why try to play me and charge me for an oxtail plate. Which now explains why i wasn't satisfied.

    Cool spot if you looking for a vibe to chill and listen to music . Definitely would say if you are over 40 best time is from 9 to 12ish . After that the element does change a bit, don't let the location fool you it's cool. Service was good they do charge an automatic gratuity in which most black own business does and it starts with 18% just and FYI. Drinks fair not the best but okay and we ordered wings not spectacular but for the intake with alcohol pairs perfectly. Try them will go back to catch a vibe for sure it gives that to chill. Parking can be tricky as it several other lounges in the same parking lot so yes grab a spot and get there so you don't have to pay the fake parking attendant trying to come up for the night on the lot

    Strawberry daiquiri

    Nubia Cafe - Dallas Vibes Checked out Nubia Cafe in Dallas and it had a really nice, chill vibe. There was a live band playing which added a cool, laid-back atmosphere to the night. I had a strawberry daiquiri and the spinach dip -- both hit the spot! My husband tried the Rasta pasta; he said it was good. If you're looking for something lowkey to do, this is a solid choice. Great for a date night or a fun outing with your girls!

    A friend of mine had been wanting to try this place so I came here with zero expectations. We came on a Sunday, and they apparently only do buffet style on Sundays. Of all the things I tried, the French Toast was the only thing I didn't like. I think it was made from Hawaiian rolls and there wasn't any sweetness beyond that. I'm all for throwing a twist to traditional dishes, but it didn't have the taste of French toast at all. Everything else was good in my book: the Jollof rice, fried rice, plantain, shrimp, grits, catfish (although slightly salty), and the pancakes were all flavorful. My only problem is that it's really hard to go for more than one round, which diminishes the "buffet" advantage... I know that's a me problem. The service was good and our waiter was very attentive. They also bring in a Dj on Sundays, which adds to the vibe.

    Adult beverages

    The ambiance is soulful music with top notch customer service . We were greeted with sounds of the Pughfunk band. We were seated right away to our table of six.

    Oxtails and mashed potatoes

    The ambience is 10/10. Mature vibes, however the food was just okay. The jollof rice should not be called jollof, it taste like an oriental rice, no spice, no onion flavor, it was more basil and tomatoe based. The Suya was flavored well, but wet. The oxtail was fair.

    It's hard to mess up French toast. Nubia succeeded in NOT messing it up. However my companion had to ask for a soda a few times and was concerned about the spice level on a dish. Was told the dish wasn't spicy but it WAS (for their palate). It was relatively early in the day so the dj was setting up and getting the day kicked off. Had a very relaxed vibe. I've heard the Mac & cheese was bomb but didn't get to try it. Maybe next time when it is later in the day.

    Angry Man's Burger

    Let's talk about the CAFE NUBIA EXPERIENCE I got last month. Me & my party waited an hour before a server came to our table. We had to wait for "shift change between the servers" around 6pm. Received spinach dip with few broken chips. My anger's man burger was burnt as hell. It tasted like charcoal. The rest of my parties food was COLD. We sent everything back. I didn't trust to get food from them anymore. This restaurant was the worst service and food I received in a VERY long time. I will never come back. This place is only good for cocktails and vibes. You have been warned.

    First time there. Went for brunch. Food was absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, tasty, and service was good. Beautiful decor and the outside patio is a +. Definitely will be back.! Thank you!!

    Cafe Nubia is a cute space. I love the decor and ambiance. The seating, colors, bar area and photo opportunities are nice. I wanted to love them, but they fell short and the overall experience was slightly disappointing. Ambiance 5 STARS Inside and outside patio area ver nice! Service 4 STARS Waitress was nice and pleasant. Cocktails 3 STARS YUMMY and presentation was nice. Didn't taste liquor though. Food 2 STARS I am a foodie. This food was boring and not the best. Chicken wasn't seasoned well. Was DRY and lack luster. Overall 3 STARS I am happy to have tried and supported an up and coming business. However, I would only go back for cocktails and music, Dallas is a tough market. They need to step up the quality.

    Nubia Lamb. Burger

    Nubia Lamb Burger: 0/10. Literally NO redeeming quality. What was advertised as a 1/4lb of shaved lamb meat w/ LTO, feta, t-sauce, and egg (brunch-style burger) was served with the thin layer of leftover "lamb" crumbles you see and devoid of toppings. Sent back and returned still wrong and now cold CYO Omelet served w/o the accompanying toast, was overcooked, and COLD. Ambiance: nice spacious patio w/ fans and TVs. Unfortunately our table being attacked by swarm of gnats. 8/10 ideally, but 6/10 due to gnats Our server was nice. When we told her our plates were missing numerous items, she took them back which led us to believe she was going to have them remade. Only to return after a bit with the same plates, now COLD, and my Nubia Burger still not dressed as advertised. I won't blame her, I'll blame kitchen. Drinks: Frozen cocktail served in wrong style "glass" that spilled on way to table (NOT server's fault), and spilled/overflowed at table. 4/10 Price: $75 includi.g 15% auto-gratuity 2nd time here, 1st time awhile ago was solid so we specifically went back today bc we remembered them fondly. There won't be a 3rd time.

    Lamb sliders
    Zerenity W.

    Beautiful establishment! We sat at the bar and you can tell a lot of effort was put into the style of the restaurant. Food: The lamb sliders were not seasoned at all and the calamari could have been cooked longer. Service: I could write a detailed story on the service but long story short it was ridiculous and people who sat after us continued to be served before us (specifically the men). It was as if she didn't want to service us at all. As a previous server from this one experience training is needed! Overall: Not sure I would return.

But don't miss out on the fun.. They have tropical cocktails on tap! - the Mai Tai and the Painkiller are my two favorites And if you like frozen drinks, they've got you covered If rum isn't your style they have plenty of whiskey offerings as well as beer and a full bar. It's a lovely little air conditioned break from the Texas heat of the Truck Yard.. Because it's all related, you can start a tab at any of the TY buildings and keep the tab going throughout the complex so even if you're with others not really into cocktails with Polynesian flair, make the rounds to fully experience all that TY complex has to offer. On the back side of the lounge, they have karaoke rooms and poker rooms for rent with bottle service available for your special events or just a fun night out... Service is always friendly and amazing and even though I've only been a couple times, I already have been made to feel like a welcome hoaloha..

Third time we went on a Monday night. Closed. The fourth time I had called ahead & was told that the bar is closed Monday-Wednesday, so we went on a Thursday night around 8:30 & spoiler alert: closed. I called the main line & was told they close it early if business is slow. They said we could go to the main bar, but they don't sell the tiki drinks there. I'd really like to try this place, but you guys aren't making it easy for us. I will update if we actually find it open, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.

We had a reservation, and the staff had decorated our table for the birthday celebration, which was a really nice touch and made my wife feel appreciated. We started with the Wagyu appetizer and the lobster bisque, and both were outstanding. The Wagyu was incredibly tender, and the lobster bisque was rich, flavorful, and probably one of the best I've ever had. For our entrees, we ordered the filet mignon with lobster and the ribeye with lobster mac and cheese. Honestly, every bite was amazing. The steaks were cooked perfectly, the lobster was fresh and buttery, and the lobster mac and cheese was unforgettable. A lot of times, fancy restaurants have a great atmosphere but the food doesn't quite live up to the hype. Eddie V's was the complete opposite. The service, presentation, and most importantly the food were all exceptional. I can honestly say it's some of the best food I've ever had.
