The food is always amazing here so overall I am happy with my experience. This is my second time going in the last month and wow the service is very poor. Servers would barely visit our table to take orders or clear plates. For a restaurant that has a strict 90 minute sitting policy we were sitting for about 30 minutes before someone came to clear plates and bring us the bill.

Nuba restaurant is really amazing for Vegan options. It's really good meals however price is really high than I thought that. Every meat always expensive compare to vegetables so Vegetarian and Vegan options should be cheap price for pretty fair.

We had a reservation at 6pm, then by 7:20 the server asked us to leave because they wanted the table. We were thinking of dessert-but did not have any time. It felt very rushed and that left a bad taste in my mind. I could understand if we stayed past 2 hours, but that was not the case.

I had only been to Gastown before so it was nice to go to a different location, the food was good. My only comment is that they should offer more choices of non alcoholic drinks. If they offer beer then why would they not offer other alternatives not just their own juices which I personally do not like. Pineapple, apple, orange and mango juices for example would be a great choice as they still fit in with the style of food and offer an alternative. My husband likes to eat vegetarian and vegan so it is a good option for us.

Nice place but the food was fairly uninteresting. Everything was prepared well and the portions were great but the flavours were quite bland, under-salted and under-spiced. I was hoping for more bold, authentic, dishes but left underwhelmed.

We were greeted immediately upon arrival at 4:15pm, our vaccine passports and ID checked and offered a choice of tables for two. I had made a reservation but as it was so early that would not have been necessary. Although we just ordered a light meal, our waiter was very pleasant and attentive. Our food was exactly what we expected and of good quality. The restaurant is not large (holds about 25 people) with casual decor. There were plexiglass dividers between some tables while others were just well spaced. By the time we left at about 5:15, there were reserved signs on all tables that weren't occupied. It’s a popular spot! This was the Davie Street location and I haven’t been to the others. But would highly recommend if you like Middle Eastern food!

I excpected more… After reading glowing reviews on Opentable and seeing beautiful pictures of the restaurant, I expected an impeccably clean, beautifully designed interior, outstanding food and lovely ambiance suitable for a stylish meetup. What I experienced was a shabby, old sandwich shop with good alcohol… The food was bare minimum - supermarket bagged lettuce as salad, cheapest, tasteless tomatoes, don’t get me started on the pita (worst possible quality). We felt uncomfortable in the tiny space that felt dated and shocked that they even take reservations for this type of a restaurant. The brightest star in this whole experience was the service that was attentive, friendly and fast. Almost like it was supposed to be working at a different restaurant. This is a glorified sandwich shop that will disappoint anyone hoping for an exceptional experience.

Place closed at 9, which they didn’t give us the heads up and let us order a bottle of wine and a lot of food right before 9 and proceeded to ask us to leave, giving us a 10 minute deadline. We ended up having to take all of our food and wine home at 9:10. They usually close at 10 so giving us the heads up that that night they were closing at 9 would have been appreciated.

Went for some good Lebanese food and got it. They had a special consisting of cod and risotto, and gluten free. Quite delicious! The partner had a half roasted chicken, which was tender and juicy, and quite generous in proportion. Overall, a very good experience. Decent enough wine selection as well.
