Nuba in Gastown

Summary: Fantastic food and fantastic service. The food here will not disappoint you or those important to you. Service was especially fantastic and very kind.

Items Ordered:

-Dips Sampler with cheese and olives added.
-Grille Mezze Sampler
-Beirut Sunset
-Orange Blossom

First up, the Dips Sampler - a mysterious array of flavors, each with a delicious story to tell. They throw in cheese and olives. The pita bread? It keeps coming like the endless rain on this city’s mean streets. So don’t hesitate to order extra pita, it’s refillable and no extra charge.

Next up was the Grille Mezze Sampler. All the meats were grilled perfectly and delicious. The platter also came with the Najib’s special which wowed everyone at the table! It was a delicious experience.

For cocktails we had the Beirut sunset and the orange blossom. No complaints on the cocktails, they were balanced and really delicious.

Overall: This restaurant will not disappoint. The perfect place to take friends and family or those important to you because this place will surely impress their taste buds.

Flat bread was amazing, the vegetarian options were good, wouldn’t go if you are just vegetarian like us. We were limited but that doesn’t mean what we ate was bad. Just wished had more options, however this is a boutique restaurant with an amazing vibe. Great for first dates. The mood lighting will your blemishes disappear.

Went around lunch time. Service was a bit slow but the food made up for it. The chicken shish tawook and the lamb kafta was delicious. We also tried the baba ganoush on the side. The washroom was clean as well. It's downtown so parking is a bit tight and you have to plan ahead. Recommended!

The food wasn’t very good. Pretty bland but the waitress was very nice. We were expecting an extraordinary meal. The bison kofta was a bit dry and the sampler platter wasn’t good at all.

Perfect date night location for those of poor facial hygiene and/or acne troubles. The lighting and atmosphere entirely make flattering your appearance no matter how unfavourable. The food is to die for as well, by the way.

Just saying, maybe the server shouldn’t be staring at the machine watching the tip button when taking payments. Our server wanted to remove plates we were still eating hoping for a quick churn. Food wise, mezze platter was good. Lamb kofta was good. The watermelon salad was too sour. Lastly, I did indicate a birthday on the reservation and it was clearly missed.

Everything we ate was amazing! Highly recommend the dip platter with the hummus, baba ganoush, etc. It comes with plenty of soft pita bread. The cauliflower dish was so yummy too and the cocktails were nice and balanced.

Save tour time and money! You better off getting your frozen food from Costco and warm it up, serve it with old cold pitta bread! Im confused! When I saw the lunch plates were 27$ was hoping they would reach my expectations, but sadly they fell short! Appetizers were disaster! Long story short go the the nearest cafe for a sandwich!

Love the layout of this restaurant. Food was also really good. The lounge area was a bit hot but besides that is was a nice experience. Perfect for a date! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Got the mixed grill and cold platters and both were excellent. Best Lebanese cuisine I’ve had in Vancouver so far. The hummus was great and the grilled meats were excellent. It would have been a bit better if they had more than just cauliflower as the only vegetable in the mixed grill platter although it was a meat focused dish.

Great Lebanese food and fresh food. The hummus was well-made along with the pita. The service was decent but a little slow. Great food so well worth any wait, don't miss this place if you are in town with limited meals to have!

Incredible food, great service, always a wonderful experience at Nuba. Keep up the great work everyone!

Amazing restaurant. Ordered the cauliflower, a salad, chicken skewers and lamb meatballs. All were extremely tasty. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and looking to eat Mediterranean food.

Beautiful ambiance, lovely server, delicious and healthy food.
The tahini is absolutely delicious!
And they serve you cucumber water

They do have tables which are close together but have the plexiglass sorta of dividers so keep in mind you might feel close to someone if it's busy when you're seated, but they do have the dividers in place!

A very quaint & cozy place. We were immediately taken in by the ambience down under the street level. Jamie was an excellent & friendly server answering our questions. The chef also was excellent customizing my wife's food allergies (nuts) on the Halooumi dish. Amazing variety of tasty flavours on the mezze dishes. Definitely going back!

I was really excited to visit this spot! The food was delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed it! We enjoyed a platter and dips for two, with sides of halloumi and extra skewers! I give it a 4 star because the ambience could be better! It’s a bit blah, and the staff definitely could be more welcoming!

The food was ok. The menu wording needs to be changed because it was confusing when comparing online orders and prices and shared options. The server did not confirm the order and we payed 50 for food that wouldn't fill us. The lentils were not good at all and I am not a picky person. Not worth the visit. I went there over 5 years ago and I didnt like it then and not now. I also ordered the lamb meatballs and it was not worth 13 dollars and it wasn't anything tasty in my opinion. I didn't finish any of my food and I was hungry. I am not a picky person but this place just didn't do it for me.

Nice service, limited liquor/food menu, good taste. Some items dont have reasonable price. All in, recommended.

Delicious meal I order tonight and the portion are way bigger at this location from the Davie location. I will definitely order from the Gastown location from now on!:)

I came in this location with my good friend, we were starving, went into nuba super excited to eat their food, cause both of our fav places to go. Unfortunately this experience was not great. The service was super slow, there were only 3 other tables of 2 in establishment. We ordered off of the DOVF menu, and the first order that came out looked un appealing, the food taste was mediocre. It took almost 30 mins for our mains to come, and both meals were barely luke warm.we waved down server and told her our concerns. She sent them back to the kitchen to get heated up. I waved her back down and told her to cancel the order. That were were very unimpressed by the service, the wait for food that didn't taste all to good and cold. And drinks that tasted off.

The only good and surprising thing was that they compted our meals which we didn't expect, but thank you for that. But over all was not the greatest experience the server wasn't all too friendly either.

We were still hungry and craving nuba and went to the other location on davie, and the same ignored service we recieved again at this location. I dont know how your establishment works, but there needs to be some changes if you want returning customers.

We are still hungry. We going to burger King: (

BTW the one star should be a zero

This place is my favorite site. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I feel like having a proper supper, this is the place that comes right away to my mind.splendid and all kinds of food and a large list of dishes.well mannered staff, and pleasant spirit. And very important, the price is fair. I sent my friends to this place with no doubt.

Fresh, healthy, quality Lebonese food
Middle Eastern style food with vegan and vegetarian options. Price is medium/high but the quality is always very good, produce is excellent and items appear to be in house.

Lunch plates are around $16/$17 with wraps at a better value. This place is packed most weekdays so get there before noon if you can.

Love the Chicken Tawook, beautifully cooked and flavor of the chicken tells me it is quality chicken.

I normally don’t enjoy food in Vancouver but love this spot (both locations). It’s my go to when I’m downtime Van now.

Such lovely food and had my first turkish coffee experience in Canada. The location is perfect when needing a break from exploring Vancouver and loved the vibe!

Great place for even someone with alot of food allergies such as myself. Great food and great staff!

Always love Nuba! We've celebrated so many birthdays, anniversaries and everydays eating so much food here. We live on the island and even just popping in for a tea and Garden Falafel Pita really made my day. Thanks for always being awesome!
