The staff were rude and we were forced to order an extra hookah that we didn't want (as one person wasn't gonna smoke) just because they had a rule that it was 1 hookah for every 2 people. Plus it wasn't exactly low cost either and the extra hookah we got wasn't that great.

Loved the ambiance at this Nuba in Gastown. Definitely an authentic vibe going on here. We were…read morehere for lunch, so I don't know what the vibe is like in the evenings. It would have been nice to have some Arabic or oriental music playing in the background. Maybe also some rose saboun in the bathroom would have been nice!! (Ok I'm overdoing it...just sharing my two cents!) Overall food was good, but I think service could be improved. We ordered the cold mezze sampler platter for 3, and we were a party of 4 adults. The portion was good and everything was delicious. I'm GF, and they serve the dips with lettuce for free (or you can order a side of cucumbers for a small charge). The presentation was lovely. The only thing I didn't like was after a while all of the dips just get mushed together and you kinda don't know what you're eating anymore...Also we all loved the jalapeno hummus the most. We asked for arak and it wasn't served the right way...Our server forgot to bring an extra empty glass so that we can mix the arak with water (in the proportional way that we'd like). I asked for an empty glass for mixing in addition to another drinking glass because mine was broken (crack was big and the glass should be chucked out). Server forgot to get an empty mixing glass. We ordered a taouk pita wrap, but we got served a taouk platter instead. Anyhow she just wasn't very attentive. The mixed grill mezze platter was mostly yummy except for the kafta. All of us at the table couldn't have more than a bite of it. The meat was undercooked, and the taste of the lamb was too strong and off. Definitely didn't taste like the kafta we know. The chicken and the cauliflower were delicious. I'd be tempted to try Nuba at another location and sample other things off their menu. Happy eating!!

We actually had to complain a few times about it. One day, I had gone in with some friends and out hookah burned out within about 15 minutes or so. We told the staff and they said that they charge $5 to change it and their customer service wasn't the greatest. Firstly, how is it our fault as the customer that it burns our that fast and why do we have to pay extra for that when they should be ensuring it doesn't burn out?
