A Lebanese Culinary Tease with NabilasOur first experience with Nabilas, though slightly marred by an incomplete delivery, left us craving more of their Lebanese culinary mastery. The dishes we received, the lamb stew and the fattoush salad, were nothing short of spectacular, setting a new benchmark for our taste buds.The lamb stew was a revelation, richly flavored, tender, and cooked to perfection, embodying the essence of traditional Lebanese cuisine. The fattoush salad, with its fresh, crisp ingredients and zesty dressing, was a refreshing counterpart that completed the meal beautifully.Although there was a hiccup with our order—the roasted potato appetizer arrived without the potatoes—the accompanying sauce was so flavorful that it alone has us eager to give Nabilas another try. The minor disappointment of the missing items could not overshadow the quality of what we did receive.The allure of Nabilas extends beyond its food. The glimpses of its ambiance, romantic and elegant, promise a dining experience that's both atmospheric and inviting. We are keenly looking forward to visiting in person, not just to savor the complete array of their offerings, but also to soak in the vibe of their dining space.Despite the initial oversight, Nabilas has left an indelible impression on us, and we are wholeheartedly committed to returning. The taste of what we experienced, even in part, was enough to ensure that. Here's to the next visit, which, we hope, will be as mind-blowing as the flavors that have already captivated us. ??✨

First time at this place and, wow! What a great experience!I booked the place through Resy, super easy and my table was ready when I arrived at the restaurant.We were two people and shared a few plates. We started with a dip- the Baba Ghannouj, which gets 5 starts. We also ordered one of each small bites. All were delicious but I highly recommend the Beef Kibbeh. For the entree we had the Yakhnet Sabanegh (lamb and spinach stew) and the Rice Hashwi & Chicken - these were amazing! I personally liked the lamb better but the rice and chicken were out of the box! I have to admit that we ordered too much food and could not finish the rice and chicken. We were full and did not have dessert.

Delicious food & service. There are two restaurants I would recommend for Lebanese food in NY - Nabila's is one of them. The menu is quite minimal but captures the high notes of Lebanese cooking. I wish I could say it's cheap but this is not a kebab shop! the quality of ingredients and attention to flavour is most like what you find in Lebanon (also the good design - not many people know that Beirut is a design capital with some seriously stylish restaurants).

To say that we love Nabila’s is a grand understatement. Ever since Nabila’s opened we rely on their delicious menu as an integral part of our takeout meal rotation - specifically in the areas of home cooking-esque, Lebanese and comfort food. Our young son eagerly waits for his favorite meal: Nabila’s roasted chicken stuffed into their freshly made pita slathered in toum and their hummus of course. We are SO HAPPY Nabila’s is now part of the neighborhood!
My favorite place to take my baby girl. Wine by the glass is only okay in my opinion. By the bottle, though? ? Service is always amazing and food is divine.
Love this spot! Its casual dining and food is in good price with portion. Service was great and it felt very comfortable dining here!

Went for a large group dinner. Not a single bad bite. Stand out bites included the Mouhamara, the Batata Harrah, Kousa, and the Knafeh Ashta.The Sheesh Barak is delicious. The sauce is incredible. I would have liked double the number of dumplings.Service was attentive and flexible with our ordering. She has great suggestions and helped with the portioning out.Vegetarian options: The stuffed leaf dish was unexpectedly delicious. The most surprising bite of the evening.
Incredible spot in Cobble Hill. Great service - both helping us get a table last-minute and offering valuable suggestions while ordering. The food was amazing - stand outs being the hummus, the Batata Harrah, and Sheesh Barak. Will absolutelybe recommending this spot to others

I have eaten at Nabila’s (or done takeout) at least 20 times in the past year and can honestly say I’ve never had a bite of anything that wasn’t excellent. It is my go-to for out of town visitors and everyone always loves it. The food is truly excellent (favorites include the labne, sfeeha, harak osbao, fattoush, batata harrah, kousa, and arayes). The knafeh ashta dessert is also incredible. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is always friendly and welcome. Highly, highly recommend Nabila’s - grateful to have such a gem of a restaurant in the neighborhood!Kid-friendliness: We have brought our toddler several times and the staff has always been welcoming and accommodating.
