Reviews for Nuba in Kitsilano in Vancouver, BC
The food was absolutely amazing. All flavours goes with each other so well and lots of vegetarian options. The service wasn’t... good. It was only one waitress running around and it took the kitchen 50min to make our food. I will go back to this place butjust knowing I need to wait an hour to get my food. Read more
Our first time here started out iffy…we arrived at around 12 and there were many empty tables, but it took awhile for our... table to be set up - probably because we asked for a high chair (which wasn’t given right away - unsure why) and then the foodtook longer than usual to arrive. But it was definitely worth the wait…the hummus and garlic confit were especially delicious.We enjoyed it all. We even asked for more pita bread and confit…so yummy! Read more
I have heard a lot about Nuba and was excited to finally try it. They have a feast option on their menu (meat or vegetarian) and... this allows you to try a few different things and to share at your table. The feast platter is sized based on the size of yourparty. The food was vibrant and delicious. They have really great vegetarian options as well and a great drink menu. Read more
A good place to go if you like to try something new, actually the food is not bad at all, while nothing surprised me. Baked... cauliflower has depth in taste, it mixed with bitter, sour, spicy & a bit sweet, very impressive. For other dishes, meat itselfwere all well cooked, but too flat & light if go without sauce, the pickles was great though. Nang was warm, good. We orderedbison steak, which is full of wild flavour but a little bit hard to chew as it is lack of fat. Side dishes arewonderful. Service is pretty nice, portion seems not big at the beginning but in fact it is more than enough. Price is veryfair. Read more
My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and absolutely loved the food! The service was decent and timely. The... disappointing piece for us was that the music seemed really disjointed with the style of the restaurant. Having culturalLebanese music would have really added to the atmosi, rather than what seemed like British pop music. Read more
Before I start my praise I would like to point out 3 major flaws with the restaurant. 1. The dips come out the same time as all... the food. - It is true that dips are supposed to come out before the mains because this keeps people happy until the food comesout and is easy to prepare. - I deemed this important to the discussion as it may negatively affect the first half of yourdinning experience. 2. The service is mid. - This is true as the waiters would almost avoid eye contact and sometimes forgetrequests. - it is important to note this as the service is a key part of enjoying a meal and justifies the restaurant as a placeto dine. 3. The "rack of lamb" was not a rack - This is true as it was simply 3 cutlets of lamb and not a rack. - This isimportant to note as the "rack" was around $40 and for that kind of price you would expect a rack, this leads onto a biggerissue of overall small serving sizes for the price. Now onto my substantive Much like the blind man I helped cross the road asI entered the restaurant, I feel the restaurant is on track but just needs some guidance to reach a good point, the food waspretty good and there was great atmosphere, only the experience is effected by my previous point. In conclusion a nice place togo with friends but don't expect ant michelin stars. Nice hummus though. Read more
A friend highly recommended this place, we went there for early dinner. The service was great and the restaurant is quiet... spacious. We didn’t have to wait too long for our order to arrive. We loved loved everything that we ordered, specially thehummus. It was so fresh and we couldn’t stop eating. Will definitely recommend this place to others and keep visiting. Read more
While middle eastern food rarely disappoints, this spot was exceptionally good! I had the bison kafta. My first time trying... bison meat and I would have it again! Everything was cooked well and perfectly seasoned. The halloumi side was a new takecompared to how I usually have it but delicious! It has pomegranate molasses so a nice balance between a savoury entree andthis. Loved everything about my meal! And the meats are all halal on their menu. That is such a pleasure to see! Read more
