Nabila's

We started with the mouhamara, beef kibbeh, and sfeeha. It was my first time trying both the beef kibbeh and sfeeha, I enjoyed both but liked beef kibbeh a bit more. While the mouhamara was enjoyable, it didn’t quite match what I was hoping for. For the entrées, we had the sheesh barak, yakhnet sabanegh, rice hashwi & chicken, and all of them were delicious and very tasty. Dessert was the only part that felt a bit underwhelming for me. The balouza wasn’t quite to my taste, and the knafeh could have been improved, though it was still nice to try, especially with the tea.

We stumbled upon Nabila’s without knowing about the place and glad we decided to go in. We were able to get a seat inside since it was later in the evening which was nice because I’d say reservations might be necessary if you go during prime time. All of the food was delicious though the kibeh stood out the most to me. The staff was wonderful and the vibe inside was quaint. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for great food - definitely try to order a few small plates so you can try out multiple options.

Awesome food & service! Tried both dine-in and takeout on two separate occasions — equally delicious. Recommend the eggplant, kousa, and rice hashwi!

Everything here was good but the portions were tiny and it felt overpriced for what it was. No pictures unfortunately, but the portion of lamb stew was abysmal. Between 5 people we ordered 2 dips, an appetizer and 3 mains. Without drinks it would’ve been $50 pp for not being that full after. As I said it was all well cooked but not exceptional

So disappointing! And expensive! The overpriced mains could barely pass as appetisers at a real Lebanese restaurant (for example, the three stuffed baby zucchinis of six tiny beef dumplings in a plate full of yoghurt). With so many great Middle Eastern options in the city (Al Badawi is literally just down the street!) you are better off spending your money elsewhere. Attached: the $17 “vermouth spritz” (before I even took a sip)… I know New York is crazy this is just straight up rude to the customer.
