Restaurant was closed. No one called to inform me. We arrived at 10am to a locked up business. Disappointing. Don’t accept bookings if you’re not open.

I’ll get straight to the point, I’ll never come here again and I absolutely will not recommend it to anyone. The food was extremely average, the drink I got tasted like the smell of nail polish remover. For 2 drinks, 1 chicken shawarma and 1 plate of hummus it cost us $97 we were no where near satisfied. People are raving about this place in the reviews which is why I booked it in the first place. When we arrived there were no available tables even though we had a booking, just overall disappointing. Avoid!!

Four of us had an excellent meal at Buba last night. Friendly and obliging staff were clearly focused on making our meal and experience top notch and they succeeded. Will definitely go there again and recommend to others.

The food is delicious. The staff helpful. The venue has a lot of charm, exposed bricks, well decorated, very nice atmosphere. The music was loud last night. Too loud. I should have asked for them to turn it down but I didn’t want to be called a Karen. That’s all. Besides that, it’s pretty terrific.

Great restaurant, food good as are prices. Marred by very loud music both inside and outside which makes it difficult for larger groups.
