Nuba

Decent place. We had a dine-in for a family of four. We didn't make any reservations but were able to find a table quickly. The ambiance and the interiors are impressive. The staff was good and professional. We started off with a Lemonade and a Ginger Beer, followed by a Falafel plate, Najib's Special Plate, and the Feast (two courses). It was more than enough for four people. The taste was fine. There's street parking around which may or may not be available. The location is good, otherwise.

First time trying the Davie street one, we have been to Nubas on Hastings like twice, few years back. We didn't have a reservation and luckily we got the one open table they had at the moment. Small place, our orders are taken promptly. Their fresh juice is a must try, and if you think you will go for the small glass, you definitely will regret later. Go for the large glass, it is worth it. We tried the green power and the carrot orange, oh my god; the flavor and so fresh. The fried cabbage is a must try. Ordered the beef sirloin plate and chata prawns. It was gone in the next few minutes. From the earlier visits, their food will not disappoint you. Also if you get a few moments read about the owner and their team, they started in 2003 and have achieved quite a lot. Definitely fresh, local and very hospitable staff. We will be back!!!

We made reservations to dine at Nuba because it’s usually pretty busy and has limited space. The inside of the restaurant is very nicely designed, especially the booth. All the meat on the menu is halal including the bison, which I never tried before so I of course ordered it. It was good and tasted very similar to regular beef. We tried the Chicken Shish Tawook and Bison Shawarma dishes and they were enough for two people to share. All the staff we interacted with were polite and friendly. As mentioned, the restaurant is busy so they do have a time limit of 90 minutes which was more than enough time for us.

I virtually swung by on a first time Uber lunch as I regularly grub at this Lebanese joint which makes super yummy vegan options. I got the Fattoush Salad, which was seasoned to perfection and boasted an array of wholesome flavorful veggies with max full flavor. The dish was great, although not the biggest and best value for money comparing to other salad options in the city which have more bulk plus additional proteins. The Najib's Special (Crispy Cauliflower), I can vouch for is dope and crazy addictive. Upon reflection, I personally wouldn't order it again for takeout specific as instead of crispy it curdles into a bit of an oil fest and loses that awesome texture. Nonetheless, I don't see this as a down side to anything on the chefs behalf there. That being said, love the business and the Vegan menu options, a delicious lunch and experience all round! A great vegan and Veggie middle Eastern dining feast! Support local businesses!

I went here today as a late vegan lunch around 3pm. I love the decor and you will get free water and they clean the table after every customer. Washrooms are clean as well. I am giving them 5 stars even though I had to wait for a bit but to be honest I don't mind. I just felt a bit sorry because there was only one server for the full place. He was very good though had everything under control. Food: I ordered the lunch plate (good deal!) for 18.95 you get extra lettuce leaves /(Pita), Hummus (the best I have ever eaten! super creamy and delicious!!!), salad, pickled cabbage, tahini, potatoes (loved them super crispy and hot!) and the cauliflower - if you order the Najib's Special (vegan!!!) like I did. This one to be honest could have been hotter - it was warm when it arrived. I also added extra Baba Ganoush (4$) which was a generous and big portion. The pomegranate sirup was a good contrast on top. The Baba Ganoush could have been a bit better seasoned (maybe more garlic?) would not order again but I am glad I tried it. This place is good and I will return. Patio outside available as well. A drink happy hour with cheaper cocktails would be great as well as Falafel without cilantro... Would love to try them here but they are with cilantro Thanks for this lovely meal - I was starving and so happy to left totally satisfied

This was my first time at this Lebanese joint in Yaletown, Vancouver. I've never had Lebanese food like this. I'm not going to judge based on a first time lunch experience, but I am going to tell you how my lunch was. I had the Lamb Hushwie Pita Wrap. It was GROUND Lamb meat and very dry and I couldn't taste the lamb at all. If you're going to serve GROUND lamb in a wrap...you should put in the description. If they had I would not have ordered it. It really should've been little chunks of lamb and significantly under-seasoned. It looked and tasted like a very awkward sloppy-joe type with stale pita Lebanese food wanna-be. The side Falafel: dry and tasteless. The hummus underneath was ok. The chicken Pita Wrap was slightly better than the Lamb but the bread was stale and flakey. I mean truly when you think of Lebanese food...you think of bold flavours, daring parings and creative presentation and there was none of that. I've had better from food trucks. The location is great. The restaurant atmosphere is bright and clean. The prices are on the higher end ...it's too bad the food doesn't match those criteria. Oh, and they charge for hot water.....$1.25! Disappointing.
