Vancouver restaurants for vegetarian and vegan takeout food

Vancouver restaurants for vegetarian and vegan takeout food

The majority of Nuba’s colourful, vibrant Lebanese menu is vegetarian and packed with protein in the forms of falafel and thick dips made from chickpea and yogurt – and all is prepared remarkably quickly, especially at the Gastown location, where rapid lunch breaks are commonplace among the creative class. Don’t forget to grab a fresh juice – made from any eight ingredients of your choosing – to add zing to any hearty meal.

Vancouver restaurants for fresh and flavourful hummus

Vancouver restaurants for fresh and flavourful hummus

Local Lebanese chain Nuba has developed a devout following among Vancouverites who just can’t get enough of their fresh and flavourful salads, pitas and meaty entrée plates. Inspired by family recipes and created with local ingredients, these Middle Eastern dishes are packed with exotic spices and are colourful in a way that will appeal to amateur food photographers. The house-made hummus – a blend of organic chickpeas, garlic, lemon and tahini – makes an appearance throughout the menu. Try the creamy spread a-la-carte with pita and pickles, or as an accompaniment to a number of hot mezze dishes and sharing platters.

Cozy comfort food restaurants in Gastown

Cozy comfort food restaurants in Gastown

The best thing about digging in to the comfort foods at Nuba is that you are simultaneously allowed to feel healthy while doing so. The Lebanese inspired cuisine here is vegetable forward, with Najib’s special (blackened, crispy cauliflower tossed in salt and lemon) as the must-have item on the menu. Follow it up with a warm bowl of red lentil soup, the mujadra (stewed lentils with crispy onion bits on top), house-made falafel (served with tahini, a fresh green hot sauce, avocado and pickled cabbage) and let the warm fuzzies sink in.
