Awesome Lebanese - Edit
We had the lunch special, which included 3 vegan options (clearly marked on the menu). The falafel was delicious, flavourful and moist, and the hummus was a real standout. Service was quick and friendly with reasonable prices.

Vegan slop heaven! - Edit
Lots of vegan options. Ordered the mujadara (lentil on brown rice with tahini) and dip sampling with pita. The mujadara is ok but the DIP tho. It’s vegan slop heaven (in a good way). It’s also my parents’ first time eating Lebanese cuisine and the sampling dish was a great way for them to try out different dips! My favourite was the muhammara (roasted rep pepper dip), which is quite sweet and tangy. Sometimes you just need some creamy vegan slop to refuel the vegan in you.

Filling, varied, tasty - Edit
The lunch specials are a large portion and I appreciated the variety of options on the menu. The falafel plate was very generous with the number of falafels provided and I left feeling stuffed!

Excellent Mediterranean Food - Edit
We really enjoyed our time at Nuba. The food was delicious and the service was friendly, helpful, and quick. We were a group of 4 and shared the assorted dip platter. Each dip was different and tasty! It came with pita and pickled cabbage. We also had the cauliflower appetizer which was excellent. One of our party had the red lentil soup and really enjoyed it. We had the mujaddara and added falafel balls to it. We also had the eggplant main dish which was fabulous. For dessert we enjoyed the assorted baklava.

Loads of choice from the mezze menu. We had the garden falafel wrap and the garden plate. Both were very tasty. Loads of drinks to choose from too.

Great choices, tasty food - Edit
Rolled into town late, walking around hungry and stumbled across this place, got lucky and got a table. What a great find!!! Beautiful atmosphere and so many veg options that all sounded incredible. We got a “flatbread pizza” like thing and the veg Kibbeh and we were so happy with both, great flavors. Nice wine choices and a homemade ginger drink as well. Would totally come back with friends to share more dishes.

I love eating here, the room is lit with candles and feels so intimate. The vegetarian platters are great for sharing and the falafel is so yummy. It's the perfect place for a date.

Authentic atmosphere - Edit
Not knowing this place was downstairs and on the very corner caused me to miss it so hopefully you won’t do that now. It’s really warm in there so don’t worry about being cold. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was great. The menu is very clearly labeled. If you’re really hungry the veggie sampler comes out super fast. I recommend making a reservation online so you don’t have to sit at the cramped bar.

Always A Great Meal - Edit
Lovely spot to order and share! Favorites include Muhammara, Baba Ghanouj, Hummus, Najib’s Special, Garden Falafel and Mjadra. The Vegetarian (all vegan) Mezze Sampler is a good way to try a bit of everything. Gluten free options available. A super busy spot, reservations recommended.

Great food! - Edit
A real gem. I came with a large group so they only had share plate options for us. They were able to make everything that was vegetarian be dairy free.

Not good enough - Edit
I usually try and only eat at vegan restaurants but today I was meeting a friend and they chose the Nuba that is of Main - on 3rd Avenue.
Read moreI had one of their specialities - a roasted cauliflower. They provided lettuce leaves as a substitute for the pots bread since I stay away from gluten. That was considerate of them.
It was not very tasty. It also want very warm.
Anyway serves me right.
I would not spend any more of my money in this food establishment since there are other places that does vegan better... And I get to support my community.

The worst Nuba - Edit
I love Nuba - but this location was a miss.
Read moreI ordered the mushroom lunch plate.
I love the one in Yaletown where I was more than once before
I double checked with staff cause I did not want cilantro
The plate arrived and the whole mushrooms where covered in a green sauce - with cilantro. I told the staff and she took it away. I got a new dish then and it came without avocado (even though it’s on the menu) she explained that they’re out but she will discount it from the bill. The potatoes were undercooked nearly raw and way to big pieces. The other location has them quite small and crunchy!
When I got the bill - it was still full price and she explained that it’s because they added more veg instead of the avocado and seemed a bit annoyed. But why did she say it’s gonna be discounted in the first place after bringing the food?
Anyway - this location probably needs some better staff training and not only staff but also the food is amazing in Yaletown so I will continue eating there!
Pros: Location
Cons: Dark - basement, Service , Quality of food

Variety of med vegan choices - Edit
I had tabbouleh, garden falafel, cauliflower and baklava and I ate it all. Everything was super tasty. They substituted romaine for the cucumbers I ordered but it was still good.

Pros: Vegan baklava! , Make a whole meal of a variety of options, Packaged nicely for takeout. Separate sauce cups.
Cons: I spent $60 for a meal for 1 person , Thin pitas were hard to eat with falafel inside.

Very good Middle Eastern Lebanese food - Edit
Again I give places that serve meet no more than 3 stars so keep that in mind. Nuba is great. Not the best Middle Eastern I’ve had but plenty of clearly labeled vegan options, a notable local and Lebanese wine list and handsome serving sizes for the table to share.

It’s ok - Edit
Ordered the “dinner plate for two” and it came with tzatziki that isn’t vegan so beware. Pita bread was hard /stale but besides that the food was delicious.

Variety of vegan options, but just a bit disappointing - Edit
It's great how many different dishes they offer, but everything I tried is just a bit too dry and flavorless... Far from the best Lebanese I tried. Good to have an option for a nice enough work lunch downtown though!

Cons: The food is quite dry, Not much flavor

Meh - Edit
We went on a Sat night so it was crowded and loud. Got take out. Overall not impressed- hummus was good but pita didn’t seem fresh and baba ganoush tasted terrible- like a sweet flavor. Asked for no pickled cabbage but they still included it. Not worth $20.
Read morePros: Hummus is good
Cons: Expensive , Small portions for price , Busy and loud

delicious! make a reservation! - Edit
It too ok two tries to get in to Nuba but it was worth it. The sampler for two is more than enough and can be done vegan without the feta cheese and yogurt sauce. Everything was delicious.
Read morePros: they know what vegan means
Cons: a little pricey, you might not get in without a reservation and you

My Comfort Food Spot - Edit
This was my first spot that made me fall in love with Lebanese and vegan food. This location in particular is my favourite, the staff are super nice, and I love the atmosphere. It’s spaced out and cozy. If you love sangria, their sangria is a must. I’ve tried everything vegan off their menu - you honestly cannot go wrong, I highly recommend doing their full dining experience and getting a bit of everything.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Shareable dinner plates, amazing for dates, Not overly expensive
Cons: Long wait for a table

Great food and culture - Edit
The great food and culture of Nuba is apparent from the moment you walk through the door. It's next to impossible to look around at other patrons and see someone NOT enjoying their meal. They do offer non-veg options for those friends who absolutely insist that they "need meat to survive", which is nice so you don't have to sacrifice your friendship or a delicious meal. You can have the best of both worlds at Nuba. The variety of options on the menu is a wonderful touch because not every vegan/vegetarian enjoys eating salad.
Read morePros: great selection, cozy ambiance, authentic food
Cons: a little pricey, hours
