Nuba Review

You could make a meal of meze—appetizers like tabbouleh salad, labneh (spiced yogurt dip), or crispy cauliflower served with tahini sauce—at this cheap and cheerful duo of Lebanese restaurants. If you're looking for something heartier, try a plate of mjadra, a spicy mix of lentils and rice. They serve chicken kebabs, lamb kafta (patties), and other meat dishes, but most of the menu is vegetarian friendly. The Seymour Street branch is a quick-service café, while the larger Gastown location has a more extensive menu and, in the evenings, a more loungelike vibe with occasional live music.
