We stopped by for a mid-afternoon bite since we’ve walked by Nuba quite a few times and have been meaning to check it out. Our service was great, but our food was underwhelming.We ordered the lamb kafta and baba ghanouj. We didn’t think the price was unreasonable until we got our plates, which were on the small side (2 small skewers for ~$17). Flavors were also nothing special even a little bland. Main upside is welcoming service and good ambiance, which was okay during daytime but would be better once the sun is down with the dim lighting. Space was also more spacious than I expected.I wanted to like Nuba since I’m often in Kits and enjoy mediterranean food, but unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

Waitress deliberately FARTED on us!She walked past our table on her way out the front door (end of shift or break?), and gave us a horribly smelling fart right as she walked around us. Restaurant was empty besides us and 1 table across the room. Felt intentional.March 2nd, around 4pm.Food was good.

The food was really good.Did not find the service top notch, though. We had to wait at the counter for some time despite booking a reservation, and no one even bothered to acknowledge us. It is okay to be busy, but normally, people would at least gesture that they would come to talk soon. The waiter also seemed very uninterested in taking the order for some reason.

Excellent service but really poor vegetarian food. The dumplings are literally flat with practically no fillings (there was like 1mm spinach in each?), for $24 - come on guys.The cocktails are conceptually interesting but generally lean sweeter - not an issue, but just be aware.The staff are amazing, but no one will go to a restaurant for bad food and excellent service.

Loves the flatbread, that was a wow on my first bite. Lamb kabab was good, but the flatbread was better. it is an enjoyable dinner tonight. Service was excellent as well.Parking: Free parking in side street, paid parking on broadway. Plenty of parking on friday evening.

Not worth it . Staff were unorganized , very rude , slow . We waited more than 40 min for our food . They forgot to bring us one of our order. Even they didn’t apologize for this awful service. The portions are too small for such an expensive price. Not tasty.

Delicious Lebanese food, and great service. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Dip Sampler, Bison Short Ribs and Lamb Kebab paired with Synchromesh Riesling.

Great food & cocktails but the service left much to be desired. We waited 10 minutes after being seated to order drinks. The servers were seemingly avoiding eye contact with us and nobody asked us how our food was. Our bills took a good 20 minutes to come after we were done with dinner. I would expect more from a high quality establishment like Nuba. We will try the other location next time.

Not very pleased with the staff. We were waiting to be seated by the door. A group of girls came in after, so they were behind us. The staff asked the girls first before me and my fiance. As if we were invisible.Anyhow, the place was warm, cozy and quiet. You can actually have a good conversation with your company.The chicken kebab was very tasty. It had some pureed eggplant and grilled pepper. Although, the lamb kebab seems like an appetizer due to its portion. My fiance cooks kebab as it's part of their cuisine, and he wasn't pleased with the taste.

Horrible experience don’t come here small portions and expensive. No flavour. If you want to send something back, they’ll say “no we made it”. Cheapest

This place is a dump. It looked like there was mold on the ceiling of the kitchen, looked very run down. The portions are way too small for such an expensive price. No flavour. They charge for HOT WATER! Who does that? Staff was not friendly. There are way better Mediterranean restaurants in Vancouver with value. Not worth it.
