A very tiny yet highly acclaimed restaurant in Vancouver near Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain station…read more We stumbled upon this place while walking right at opening, so we got first pick at one of the 3 tables for dine-in. Definitely try to go at opening or when it is not busy, as the dine-in experience is memorable - they place your order in a long wooden board to make it a beautiful spread. We got the Manoush'eh Special which has ground beef, pomegranate, etc and Sham Style which is shaped like a boat. We also tried the yogurt drink which pairs well with the dishes. The only con is that this place does not have free water, but it is no problem to have our own water bottles supplementing the meal. We also got the lentil soup which is pretty good. Definitely sufficient to share one to try, but the Manoush'eh outshines the rest of the items. I loved the quality and texture of the Manoush'eh and just the breads in general. It is a lot of food for 2 people so if you want a snack, you can definitely just share 1. Some people go here for the wraps too. Overall, an affordable restaurant with good food. We got the most expensive items and it was less than 50 CAD all-in, but a lot of the items are around the 10 CAD mark.

we came here near closing, so i'm assuming maybe it wasn't at its best, and i honestly feel kinda…read moreguilty writing this review. but i have to be honest about our experience. the food tasted really bland overall, especially the lahm bi ajeen. it didn't taste well seasoned at all and honestly tasted nothing like the versions i've had before. coming from LA, i feel like i've had a lot of really flavorful middle eastern food, so maybe my standards are higher. usually lahm bi ajeen has this rich savory flavor with warm spices, slight acidity, juicy meat, and a crispy thin crust that almost has a little char to it. this one felt flat flavor wise and the crust wasn't crispy or well baked. it lacked that depth and spice that makes the dish so addictive. maybe we just came at a bad time, but overall it was disappointing for us.

My coworker and I came here on a Saturday afternoon, we got a reservation ahead of time and I'm glad we did because this place was pretty busy. We got their aperol spritz for drinks which was very refreshing, would recommend this for the summer. For food, we got their dip platter and chose their hummus, labne, and baba ghannouj. My coworker was gluten-free so they were very nice to give us some gluten free chips instead of the bread with the dips. We also got their halloumi fries which came with a pomegrante dipping sauce - I LOVED IT! The halloumi fries were cooked so well! We also got their prawns which were really fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back! Their hummus was so good, it's for sure a very authentic Lebanese spot.

Even though we ate during their closing hours, they did not rush us and allowed us to order additional items. Highly recommend the mixed mezze dips platter and mixed grill platter. We ordered additional rounds of the lamb kebab because it was to die for. Cocktails were 10/10, every single one that we ordered was better than the last. I would however avoid the desserts. The baklava, though tasty was dry. The molten lava cake was refused and sent back by our kids. Didn't look very appealing. We would definitely go back on future visits for dinner.

We ended up eating more than expected because the food was delicious, light and refreshing. We tried a bunch of the cold mezze (hummus, baba ganouch, kibbeh, and the fattoush salad) and they were all fantastic. Hummus was so smooth and flavorful, baba ganouch and fattoush refreshing and tasty. Pitas are served warm and are so deliciously light and airy. We also enjoyed the salmon and kibbeh kebabs - all were so yummy and well prepared. Apologies if I've spelled her name incorrectly but Mirna was amazing. She was so helpful in answering any of our culinary queries, so friendly (especially to my young nephew) and so attentive. The space is beautiful- elegant without being stuffy. Near the waterfront and easy to access. Highly recommend!

Then they told us they had run out and would serve us Costco pita. Upon leaving we saw people with Lebanese pita. A group spending 1600 getting shafted on pita. Not cool and super cheap.

Half the table ordered the sahlab which was steamed oat milk with rose water, cinnamon & agave, it was so satisfying and a pretty drink in a mug.

When I have a meal for two here and not just some appies, we're looking at $60 to $70 without drinks, before tax and tip. At the current price point, a full meal at Nuba is competing with Michelin star restaurants and other places aiming to hit the same level of quality. I liked this place a lot 5 years ago, but the combination of high prices and tiny portion sizes makes Nuba a pass for me nowadays. The food is still fairly good, but for the money, there are a lot of places I'd rather eat.

They have street parking and easier to find off the Main Street.
