Can be a bit pricey depending on what you get, but the quality is great and the atmosphere is so nice! The servers are also super friendly. They do have a number of meat options which isn’t great, but there are certainly a good number of vegan options to choose from. The pomegranate hummus is absolutely amazing !!

Spectacular restaurant! I anticipate I'll continue dreaming about this meal for many months. We tried a wide variety of items on the menu and found everything to be delicious. The staff was very kind. We visited Vancouver for 4 days and this was by far my favorite meal!

The restaurant was full when we arrived. But the staff were inviting and kind to offer their last table (booth) to us. The restaurant has a warm and inviting ambience. Easy to talk and enjoy ones company. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and full of flavour - there was not one dish that we did not enjoy (pear & fig salad, pomegranate hummus, halloumi, fried squid, chicken shish tawook). Portions were fair. However, they did run out of two main dishes that we wanted to try (stuffed red peppers, za'atar chicken) and also offered us their last fried squid portion. Perhaps because they were really busy(?) but these seem like staple main dishes, especially the chicken. I noticed the prices on their in-store menu are slightly more expensive then what is advertised on their website. Drinks seem to be a bit pricier. Cocktails starting at $15, beers at $8 (highly priced but I would say semi-standard for the area). All in all, we had a great experience at the Yaletown location and would return/recommend to others. We've been to 3/4 locations in the Vancouver area and this one is definitely in our top 1-2.

Really nice lebanese food. We had the variations of hummus and the zaatar chicken. Both tasted really nice and the portions were generous. Staff is super friendly.

Super cute 35 seat spot. Great for sharing dishes. Recommend chicken skewers, mjadra, halloumi, and the tumeric beer!

Had a fantastic group dinner at Nuba! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful decor that added to the overall experience. Our server was super helpful - guiding us through the menu and offering great suggestions based on the size of our party. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and thoughtful, and we felt completely welcomed the entire time. Lots of laughs, no side-eyes or awkward vibes - just a genuinely great evening. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Nuba in Yaletown! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Their food is consistently fresh and flavorful. A great spot for healthy and delicious Lebanese food. Highly recommend!

I would be careful about eating here if you have food allergies. They list lots of items that are gluten-free but they're not very careful about cross contamination (they'll just pick it off). It was pretty expensive and I couldn't eat it.

I liked the food a lot here. One of the better Lebanese places I’ve been to for sure!y only complaint was that the portions were a little small. We got one of the tasting platters for 3 people and felt like it was on the smaller side for an entree. And defiantly quite pricey!

Service was really great, our server took really good care of us and even brought over a few wine tasters to make sure we enjoyed our meal and found a wine that paired well!

Overall , I’d go back again as the food was really good!

Food was great. Unfortunately our server was terrible and rude. Not once did he check how we were doing or bothered to fill our empty glasses. He seemed like he didn’t want to be there and could care less that we were there, which is fine because I’ll gladly go and take my business to the other locations. The waitress that brought our check at the end was pleasant, just too bad she couldn’t of been our server.

I love nuba, all locations, & this location is no exception! i almost walked right by since it looked like a long lineup to get in, luckily it was for the business next door so i was seated immediately. the cafe is quite small but very cozy & the atmosphere is cool. the staff was friendly & the food is always delicious and filling. not drastically overpriced either!

I tired Lamb Kafta and the rice was a choice. But it came cold and I couldn’t eat it as the coldness spoilt the taste.

Chicken Shish Tawook was great in taste and tried potato on it replacing rice. It was the best combination.

Also tried Jalapeno hummus that comes with pita. It was $15 and felt that was too much for that plate of hummus.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options are available including humms and pita and lunch plates.
