Lebanese Underground
Lebanese cuisine—lauded for being one of the world's healthiest—just got a whole lot sexier.
Stroll down a few candlelit stairs into the basement of the Dominion Building and step inside the moody sanctum of Nuba Restaurant's bigger, better digs. With palm fronds, cut-out copper lanterns, mirrored walls and warm tones, the place wouldn't look out of place in 1950s Beirut. It's almost as if they pulled their menu prices from that time period too—our mouth-watering main of Cornish hen atop baba ghanouj with a side of roasted potatoes rang in at a magnificent $12.50.
Exotic, romantic, yet thoroughly down-to-earth… sounds like a perfect first date to us.
