food: I ordered the falafel plate. I found the falafels to be okay, a little on the dry side but add some hot sauce and it's tastier. The tabbouleh and hommous were of good quality.

service: it's a cafe - cashier was polite if not smiley

value: $9 for a falafel plate that is good for dinner is priced about right. it's not really cheap when you think about it but it's not highway robbery either

ambiance: place seats about 14-17 people. it's clean and the cashier did go around cleaning out the dish tray and wiping tables. i noticed that the dishrag that he used to wipe the table was clean b/c when he wiped my table it smelled lemony (very pleasant) and not that yucky old dishrag smell.

overall: I would go back if it's convenient but I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit the place. There are other falafel places priced similarly and of the same quality.

Happily surprised, lunch at this restaurant s was one of the best meals in this area. The tabouli was the best that I had (I think it was the olive oil that was used), and the chicken wrap in pita as grilled beautifully. The service was attentive without being overly so. I will be going there for dinner soon.

Tried najib’s special which was a very unique dish and absolutely loved it! The ingredients are very fresh. It's a great spot to get quality food quickly. It's a small spot, and decor is minimal - not a big deal for a good in and out spot.

We love Nuba for healthy fast well priced food. The garden falafel is really tasty with avocado and their homemade pickle. The vegetarian appetizer plate is a great sampler of all their goodies. I love the flavour of the lentil/rice/avocado dish, the crispy cauliflower is amazing and the mushrooms are great!
Nuba isn't a fancy restaurant but its design is clean and simple. And the food is always good, we've eaten in twice and picked up to take away many more times and never been disappointed.

We read a glowing review in the Westender magazine about this second of two Nuba restaurants, so thought we would give it a try. We have had Lebanese food before many times at Habibi's and Mona's, so this was not our first experience. We ordered the La Feast- a vegetarian sampler platter, lamb kafta and chicken shish tawook. The lamb was overcooked, black and hard as charcoal, and the falafels, which we had heard so much about, were also overdone and dry. The baba ganoush also had a smoky burnt taste. I wanted to tell the cooks to turn the temperature on their grill and deep-fryers down a tad so they could cook the food through without incinerating it. My companion said the chicken was okay, if a bit burnt as well. Overall, a disappointing experience that made it unlikely we will return or recommend this restaurant.
