    I came to this place twice in a month and it's become a wonderful place to hang out and enjoy a healthy meal. Love the vegetarian options though I would not recommend the mango salad on its own. The chicken and crispy cauliflower were my favorite. My friends tried the lamb and really liked it too. We also tried the turkish coffee and it was delightful to watch them make it. The best surprise was the dessert!! Loved the samplers!! Everything was delicious!

    Recommend trying a little of everything! Will not disappoint.

    Deeeelish! This Nuba location is my fave. The staff and booking person, Szymon are fab. Special mention to the crispy cauliflower, yum! The dips are outstanding. Enjoyed the potatoes! Drinks are fun and tasty, both cocktails and alcoholic beverages. Feels cozy but a good dining sized restaurant, sweet decor. All around, a great time every time at Nuba on 3rd.

    My friends raved about this restaurant so I was pretty hyped up. We ordered a share plate for two, which was very small. My friend told me that it was significantly smaller than the last time they went there. We got desserts. The mouse was ok, but the crème brûlée was yucky. The service was friendly, but scattered and she went missing for awhile. I would give this place a second chance based in my friends ravings. The items on the platter were delicious, it was just too scanty. I would not order that again. I had to have a snack when I got home afterwards. But I may try them out again sometime. The restraint itself is quite pretty.

    In my opinion the Mount Pleasant location is the best one out of the 4 (?). Have been quite a few times now. I don't feel gross after eating here (ingredients taste fresh, well-balanced). Flavourful. Great for sharing (i.e. would recommend coming with at least ~4 people. Recommendations: The Cauliflower is a must-try. The garlic sauce served with the chicken skewers is amazing.

    I have visited them twice over 4 years. Food is good and consistent. Enjoyed our experience a lot. Platters are generous and you get to tey a variety of dishes.

    Lamb Ribs with cold potatoes and pickled cauliflower
    Patty M.

    I had the lamb ribs, these were perfect and my margarita was good. My score is base only on the ribs, service and ambience. Cause the sides on the dish were irrelevant. The humus needed flavor.

    $65  2beef 2 chicken 4 prawns patato and cauliflower   Enough for 1 person.  Lol.  What happened to this restaurant I loved.

    Take out. Ridiculous price $65 for what this plate is. Feeds 1 person. Used to like Nuba.

    Heard about Nuba through a friend and when M was in town, she wanted to check it out. Didn't realize they have three other locations (Yaletown, Kitsilano and Gastown). We dropped in on a rainy Wednesday afternoon (around 1:00pm). Place was packed! The decor is cheery, colourful and the vibe is laid back. Service is good and they come back often to refill your waters. The menu is split into salads, mezze, soups, lunch plates, pitas, to share and beverages. - La feast ($39.00) - two course vegetarian mezza sampler. You get la petit feast (hummus, taboulleh, baba ghanouj and pickled cabbage), Najib's special, mjadra, falafel, eggplant stew, fattoush salad, feta, olives and pickled cabbage. Pita comes with the dips (I think it's unlimited, you just have to ask for more). Baba ghanouj had a nice smokey flavour but the hummus was missing depth. The amount of taboulleh was a joke. Not even a baby spoon's worth. The eggplant stew and Najib's special (crispy cauliflower) were my two favourites from the main spread. The cauliflower had a fantastic acidity. The falafels were decent but a bit dry; they needed to be dipped into the sauces (hot sauce, tzatziki and tahini). The mjadra (green lentils with rice, onions and jalapeño) was average and the fattoush could barely pass for a real fattoush salad. If I were to come back, I wouldn't get the sharing platter. The dishes look pretty but I've had better Mediterranean in town.

    NUBA X FIRST TABLE! We ended up going for a treat using first table to get 50% off our entire food bill and we chose nuba. First time at nuba and I'm not disappointed. * Hummus Mezze ($11.95) ~ OH SO GOOD the chickpeas were so good blended in prominent garlic, lemon and tahini seasoning. Pluus unlimited pita! Such a must have! * Najib's Special ($12.95) ~ best cauliflower ive ever had! It was so well seasoned and very crispy. The sauces with it was cherry on top as it complimented it so well! I 100% will come back for this! * Lamb hushwie ($14.95) ~ this was so good too, I was creamy and delicious, the lamb was so good with the hummus and avocado! * Halloumi cheese ($15.95) ~ JESUS never in my life have I been so in love, this was amazing and gooey and the pull was so good. The seasoning used and the sauce on top was the perfect pairing. * Spiced shatta prawns ($16.95) ~ this had a huge kick which I wasn't expecting. The kick was prominent and surprising. It was cooked nicely but the kick was too strong. * Pear & date salad ($15.95) ~ im not much for salad but this was an amazing salad, I would've ordered another one if we didn't have so much food! The pear and dates were sweet which complimented the entire salad so much 10/10 I wish they added this to the menu! * Americano ($3.50), & another cocktail (forgot price). * 9/10~ I really enjoyed the dishes here 100% will be back! The shatta prawns were a bit too powerful in the kick which overpowered the rest of the prawn flavour but otherwise everything else was amazing. * 10/10 ~100% recommend first table, not only is the portions good, its such a steal!!!! Total bill after discount $57.51 (3 people). (My bill was only $15.52, as I didn't have any drinks).

    Their cauliflower was so delicious. Definitely highlight of the night.

    Service here was very friendly and the interior is great. We went for dinner and enjoyed our meal but I would say the mezze plates are somewhat pricey for the amount you get. However, they have amazing lunch plates that I'd recommend!

    Chicken Tamook(?)
    Justin L.

    This place is awesome. It's a bit hidden right now based on all of the construction going on, but it's a great gem in the neighborhood. I had the chicken tamook (?) entree dish with rice and potatoes and also had a halloumi appetizer with tomatoes. Both dishes were well seasoned and full of flavor. You can also add their famous cauliflower on the side for only $4. I went with my family who has a number of allergies including gluten and dairy and they were very accommodating. Overall a great experience and I'll be back.

    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.

I ordered a hibiscus tea while I waited for my friend. It was incredibly refreshing and flavorful, the best I have ever had. For food, we shared a bunch of stuff.

Garlicky, flavorful, so good. Will be thinking about this for a while. Definitely order sides, as the proteins just come with the protein listed unless you do a lunch special. The halloumi fries were incredible and came with an amazing sauce. Fried in a dedicated gluten free frier- amazing. The food was paired with a lovely aperol spritz, a lovely patio, and a kind and attentive server. Would go back every week if I could.
