Mexanese Mumbo Jumbo

This past week we took my boss out for a surprise birthday dinner with the gals. We opted for a restaurant with a decent vegetarian menu since we had a few veggies with us. The obvious choice was Nuba (though I'm sure if it was in Kits, The Naam would be the hands down choice).

I've been to Nuba Cafe on Seymour a few times, usually opting for the meat filled chicken tawook, but since we were going to the restaurant on Hastings, I decided a little research on up coming meal choice was needed.

I had a quick scan of vancouverslop.com since a) it's run by a friend, and b) he's a total foodie, I was sure he'd reviewed Nuba at some point. After reading their review and deciding that the crunchy cauliflower was a definite must have, I realized that when a group of ladies get together for a meal, birthday or otherwise, they are more likely to order a bunch of food and share. Thankfully the La Feast share-sies plates we got did contain the crunchy cauliflower along with many other tasty goodness.

The night progressed as we all stuffed our faces with the delicious hummous, crunchy cauliflower, falafels, mjadra, salad with feta cheese and drank to our hearts content. As everyone left, bellies full, the birthday girl once again thanked us for the lovely treat and still could not believe her natural nosy nature didn't suspect the evening we had all planned for her.
