Went to Nuba for my birthday and had a really good time celebrating with friends and of course my husband, James. Now that's he's working in Alberta a month at a time, it's was sheer chance that he was back just in time for it. Food was good, especially the crispy cauliflower called Najib's Special. Best cauliflower I've ever eaten! It truly is. Since we had a group of 10, the server recommended a party menu. Everyone would share in the hot and cold dishes and order a meat. I thought the meat came with the normal sides of an entree but it really was just a skewer of meat. I ordered the lamb which was nicely cooked but I literally got only 1 skewer and additional skewers were $7/skewer. The price was reasonable $20/head but I was quite taken aback with that one skewer of meat. Servers were very pleasant and helpful and the food was good. Ultimately I found it to be a good deal since we didn't leave hungry but I sensed that the meat lovers could have done with a bit more meat. Great place for vegetarians.

Talked about brunch the night before, so we had a couple of friends over plus James' schoolmate. We had all the fixin's, bacon, breakfast sausages, potatoes, chicken wings, toast and beer. James was kept busy in the kitchen till about 2.30pm when we finally ate and we were busy with the new TV and PS3. All in all, I had a fantastic weekend!
