    Happy hour menu
    Marian G.

    We came for Thursday Ladies Night which included a free lemon drop shot or green tea shot. It featured a fun karaoke night as well. The place wasn't packed at all. I just felt our server was focusing on serving the other two tables around us more. He definitely forgot to come back to our table a few times through the night. It was a group of 3 of us. After we got settled in we told him we were ready to order. He came to take my one order only then vanished. He didn't take the orders of the other two ladies with me right then there. Before they were able to speak he was literally gone. We all wanted to order together. I've never experience that before. Then we had to flag him down after 15-20 mins to put the orders in. We also ordered a hookah to our table. Someone else was doing that separately but they never replaced our coals for the entire time we were there. But again the tables around us were getting better service than ours. I had the spinach dip and lemon pepper nubia wings on the reverse HH menu. Which is W/Thrs/Sun only from 9-11p. The food was tasty. I enjoyed both. I will say the vibes and atmosphere would bring me back but the customer service definitely needs an adjustment. It was one major turn off to our night. The karaoke night was fun!

    Cool spot if you looking for a vibe to chill and listen to music . Definitely would say if you are over 40 best time is from 9 to 12ish . After that the element does change a bit, don't let the location fool you it's cool. Service was good they do charge an automatic gratuity in which most black own business does and it starts with 18% just and FYI. Drinks fair not the best but okay and we ordered wings not spectacular but for the intake with alcohol pairs perfectly. Try them will go back to catch a vibe for sure it gives that to chill. Parking can be tricky as it several other lounges in the same parking lot so yes grab a spot and get there so you don't have to pay the fake parking attendant trying to come up for the night on the lot

    The Cafe Nubia experience

    My friends and I went on ladies night which also happened to be karaoke night - shout out to DJ Aaron. We arrived for reverse HH which had a limited but well rounded. The drinks are creative with premium liquor options. They also have 1/2 priced hookahs with a variety of flavor options. It was fairly busy and our waiter was very nice but service was a bit slower than expected. It took a while for our 3 person party's order to be taken. Well one order was taken and about 15 minute to take the rest of our orders. Otherwise the atmosphere was fun with the karaoke and everyone enjoying themselves and singing along and dancing. I would definitely go back since there plenty seating for a small or large parties and there is a stage for live music and/or a DJ. Also the food options take all tastes into account.

    Nubia Cafe - Dallas Vibes Checked out Nubia Cafe in Dallas and it had a really nice, chill vibe. There was a live band playing which added a cool, laid-back atmosphere to the night. I had a strawberry daiquiri and the spinach dip -- both hit the spot! My husband tried the Rasta pasta; he said it was good. If you're looking for something lowkey to do, this is a solid choice. Great for a date night or a fun outing with your girls!

    I will NEVER come back to the place the food was a big disappointment. Im mostly upset because I ordered and was charged for a oxtail plate. Made it home to give to my husband it wasn't an oxtail plate but a neck bones. Im LIVID!! Because why try to play me and charge me for an oxtail plate. Which now explains why i wasn't satisfied.

    A friend of mine had been wanting to try this place so I came here with zero expectations. We came on a Sunday, and they apparently only do buffet style on Sundays. Of all the things I tried, the French Toast was the only thing I didn't like. I think it was made from Hawaiian rolls and there wasn't any sweetness beyond that. I'm all for throwing a twist to traditional dishes, but it didn't have the taste of French toast at all. Everything else was good in my book: the Jollof rice, fried rice, plantain, shrimp, grits, catfish (although slightly salty), and the pancakes were all flavorful. My only problem is that it's really hard to go for more than one round, which diminishes the "buffet" advantage... I know that's a me problem. The service was good and our waiter was very attentive. They also bring in a Dj on Sundays, which adds to the vibe.

    Adult beverages

    The ambiance is soulful music with top notch customer service . We were greeted with sounds of the Pughfunk band. We were seated right away to our table of six.

    Oxtails and mashed potatoes

    The ambience is 10/10. Mature vibes, however the food was just okay. The jollof rice should not be called jollof, it taste like an oriental rice, no spice, no onion flavor, it was more basil and tomatoe based. The Suya was flavored well, but wet. The oxtail was fair.

    It's hard to mess up French toast. Nubia succeeded in NOT messing it up. However my companion had to ask for a soda a few times and was concerned about the spice level on a dish. Was told the dish wasn't spicy but it WAS (for their palate). It was relatively early in the day so the dj was setting up and getting the day kicked off. Had a very relaxed vibe. I've heard the Mac & cheese was bomb but didn't get to try it. Maybe next time when it is later in the day.

    Cafe Nubia is a cute space. I love the decor and ambiance. The seating, colors, bar area and photo opportunities are nice. I wanted to love them, but they fell short and the overall experience was slightly disappointing. Ambiance 5 STARS Inside and outside patio area ver nice! Service 4 STARS Waitress was nice and pleasant. Cocktails 3 STARS YUMMY and presentation was nice. Didn't taste liquor though. Food 2 STARS I am a foodie. This food was boring and not the best. Chicken wasn't seasoned well. Was DRY and lack luster. Overall 3 STARS I am happy to have tried and supported an up and coming business. However, I would only go back for cocktails and music, Dallas is a tough market. They need to step up the quality.

    Let's talk about the CAFE NUBIA EXPERIENCE I got last month. Me & my party waited an hour before a server came to our table. We had to wait for "shift change between the servers" around 6pm. Received spinach dip with few broken chips. My anger's man burger was burnt as hell. It tasted like charcoal. The rest of my parties food was COLD. We sent everything back. I didn't trust to get food from them anymore. This restaurant was the worst service and food I received in a VERY long time. I will never come back. This place is only good for cocktails and vibes. You have been warned.

    First time there. Went for brunch. Food was absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, tasty, and service was good. Beautiful decor and the outside patio is a +. Definitely will be back.! Thank you!!

The venue is designed to resemble a Prohibition-era speakeasy, with an entrance accessible through a rotary phone inside a red telephone booth (which actually works!). Our tour was led by Jamie, who shared his extensive knowledge as he guided us through the Prohibition Era alongside our concierge, Landon. The speakeasy features stunning floors made of 120-year-old Italian wood, beautifully decorated with art, books, and a selection of premium entertainment and spirits. Patrons can request "prescriptions," which are 2oz alcoholic shots inspired by the owner's grandfather, who was a pharmacist.
