It is a shame the halloumi cheese recipe has changed. It was not good. The one with tomatoes and balsamic was much better and used to be our fav dish. We likely won't return but the service was very good.

Food is tasty, service friendly but you had to ask for things versus proactive service. Wine list was all unknown bottles to those of us at the table. Might benefit from a few more pedestrian choices or a house wine perhaps.b

Holy shitballs. The food was so good! SO GOOD. Bite after bite of incredible flavours. Loved it! However, we were seated beside the kitchen, and it was SO HOT. Not sure if it was because of where we were or the general heat in the room, but it was uncomfortable. But, I still wouldn’t hesitate to go back. So worth it. SO GOOD!

Delicious food. Our server was excellent, & such a lovely human being. Very reasonably priced & comfortable, attractive surroundings. I was hesitant about choosing Nuba as my Book Club had not enjoyed the food when we attended a few summers ago, but I had attended the previous ? winter/spring with family & the menu had winter food dishes which we really found tasty as we did yesterday.

Right when my group and I entered, we were not greeted by anyone for at least 15 mins. We had to actively make ourselves known by making some sort of noise near the entrance or peeking to make eye contact with employees. When we got seated, we were left alone for almost half an hour. We were sat right next to the kitchen but we weren’t able to get a hold of any employee. We didn’t have a consistent server the entire night so we didn’t know who to reach out to. We also didn’t get half the food and drinks we ordered until we were able to get the attention of an employee which was difficult as they looked very tunnel vision. They were attentive to other tables, so we felt out of place. Food was okay, but service requires some attention.

Lovely meal, good friendly service. Went early but as time went by music and other conversations got louder which interfered with talking with friends at our table. If you want a quieter ambience. Go early and be ready to leave as the bass starts pounding. If noise level doesn’t bother you, go any time. Love this place and must have the roasted cauliflower— better than anywhere.
