   Delicious vegetarian, middle eastern food. I highly recommend Nuba if you've never been before for it's simple menu and great food.

   Fresh pita, not store bought would have been better. Ginger beer not very fizzy and too sweet. Why was the shish tawook so red? Otherwise, good was pretty good

   Expensive, low quality food and very tardy service... Gratuity is added automatically, so why should they work hard to earn it?

   Our server was that made our experience at Nuba a poor experience. When I arrived she almost bumped onto me. No hello, no excuse me, no apologies, just silence and secretes away. We had a reso but everyone was late. When she came to the table she did tell us any of the special, another server told us after dropping off our drinks. She was awkward, and quiet, she barely came to our table. I can understand feeling overwhelmed with a busy restaurant but all the other tables looked like they were getting proper attention.l. While we had empty plates and glasses on our, everyone else had fresh drinks and food or atleast a clear table to talk over. There was a literal flip of tables while we were there cause her service was so lacking in care and attentiveness. Very disappointed. Food and drinks were incredible tho, but probably won’t come back to that location again.

   The perfect place to take your vegan friends out to dine! A nice variety of flavours, and all reasonably priced. Good suggestions from the server, and attentive service.

   I ordered the chicken shawarma. For 28 dollars, the quality was mediocre. The pulled chicken was unseasoned and it had pieces of cartilage mixed. This part really grossed me out but I had to swallow them as I did not want to get my fingers to my mouth to pull them out as I was on a date. I also ordered a kafta on the side and it was 8.75 a piece for one single and tiny 3 inch piece. The flavour was also not there and the meat was almost raw. In terms on ambience, I went on a Saturday at 8:30 pm and it kept getting progressively loud. And towards the end of the date, we couldn’t hear each other. The waitress also got our bills mixed up at the end and I had to e transfer my date the difference. I would not recommend if you’re looking for authentic flavours. If you have a more westernized palate, then this might be the place for you

   First time trying Lebanese food and it was fantastic. Our server was so great. He gave us great recommendations and checked in on us regularly to see how we were enjoying our food. Such a cool location and atmosphere.

   The service was good. The food overall has gobe a bit downhill. The veggie mezze sharing plate used to have better variety including olives and Macedonian feta. Not anymore. Feels like they’ve filled it out more with more potatoes and rice. Tasty, but certainly not as good as a few years back

    The hummas was great, the fatoush salad was very disappointing as was the baklava.
