I went there because of Belfast restaurant week! Very good value lunch set for just £10. We had a nutty chick and pull pork beef burger. I just love the fried chick! The coating is just perfect! The staff are very friendly as well!

The Spiced Lamb platter, inspired by Moroccan cuisine, was absurdly delicious. The condiments and spices were rich and flavorful. The portion was very decent and the service was quick as well. I would love to visit again!

I loved the atmosphere and the cocktail I had (mochito) and the location is perfect and the food was very delicious, but the portion of food is definitely not worth it for what you are paying for.. so stingy.. I ordered the large plate chicken £14 and a side £4 and their home made pickles £3.. all together £21 for something that didn’t even fill me up. I was very disappointed about it cause I was hungry and I expected a proper portion at least, not 2 bits of chicken..

Really helpful on a busy Tuesday in Belfast. Put a table for five together for our party. Food was good, well cooked and tasty. They stock a very nice Shiraz.

We went in yesterday and it was surprisingly busy. The floor staff were really kind and professional, although we did have to flag them down the entire time rather than be approached due to the sheer volume of customers. Our bill came up to £31.90 for the brisket balls, a "buba-licious" and "hot stuff", but my gosh was it worth it. The lamb was perfectly spiced and cooked which gave the burger an extra sense of depth to it and the chicken was flame grilled perfectly. We didn't try any of the cocktails etc as we were only out for a quick bite, but the menu sounded really good with a decent cost attached.

Really loved the look of the place. Welcome from the staff was great and the service throughout was really good. I liked the ambiance and the nice jazz music really made us feel comfortable. The food though, wasn't very impressive. We had a few things: kofta was ok, pork was dry and seriously overcooked. Cod was on the edge of undercooked; a bit slimy (althought this may just be an indication that it was not fresh) and the accompaniments on the plate didn't taste of anything. Salsa Verde with no flavour, a big pile of what looked like pickled onions which didn't even taste of onion let alone anything pickled. Would have loved some salt on the table as most of the dishes could have done with some. Brownie for dessert was really dry too. Sticky toffee pudding was good though as were the patatas bravas.

Okay food, pretty poor service. The fish and the giant cous cous were very good. They were busy, as it was Thursday, but they were not very attentive. Some staff were quite rude.

Very friendly staff, good cocktails, food was prompt and the place was busy. Very noisy though. The food was OK. It's a sister restaurant to Copi, which is a lot better. But there wasn't anything wrong with this place. The Turkish Delight panna cotta was really good. Overall didn't impress.

What kind of headcase is rating this place a 4.4. Food is absolute muck! Mid to say the least, absolute last resort. Would not return. chicken burger more like coleslaw burger!! Prawn taco, a singular prawn on a piece of tortilla jokeshop

Called in for a quick bite. They recommend small plates as a defacto starter followed by a Big as a main. Had the Buba Chick Burger which was tasty enough and accompanied by fries. Shared the flatbread and hummus with a friend. Hummus was pretty tasteless for me. Its ok for what it does without being outstanding.

Absolutely incredible, we came here for a night out with friends. To start we shared a few of their small plates, we had the Cauliflower Tacos, the Spiced Pork Nachos, Prawn Tacos and a cocktail for us. For mains i has a double deluxe burger with a side of fries. Everything was to die for, greatly presented and made. Service was great as well, kind and friendly staff who are more than happy to answer your questions. My only complaint would be the lighting, it can be a bit too strong!

Amazing vegan food! Decent prices for food here, you can either eat-in or take-out. I highly recommend the cauliflower tacos and vegan brownie, banging!

An up market twist on the classic humble burger with premium toppings! Relaxed and friendly efficient service too, worth the 10% service charge. I can personally recommend the chicken fillet burgers and the Bubalicious (beef patty with spiced lamb). Enjoyable experience 👌👋👋👋👋

Nice little place but the food wasn't all that. My burger was fine, nothing to write home about but the kids meals were TERRIBLE. The chicken was 3 small squares of something that looked like a beige Jobie 🤣. Whoever made the batter or whatever it was dipped in obviously needs to learn a new trade, I tasted it and I could taste the flour in them. Girls ended up eating just chips and needed to eat again an hour later as did my wife. Her meal was the chicken kebab on a skewer and was £17.50 it had only a small portion of chips and one small skewer of chicken. No bread or rice or anything. Very plain and bland. That's it. If it was extremely tasty we would of been ok with it but it wasn't. Very average, not enough for the price and the kids meals were embarrassing to be honest. The place is probably ok for cocktails and small bites for couple or to he like from what I seen.

Came here for an early lunch - the menu is very extensive with something for everyone and the small plates were perfect for what we were looking for. The prawn taco from the specials menu was delicious 😋 It is expensive but expected for Cathedral Quarter, and it’s worth paying for the nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Thanks Buba!

Very disappointed. This was one of our favourite restaurants. Lebanese cuisine really unique. Burger bar not for us. Two sweets disastrous what about the Turkish delight pannacotta...dates with bacon all the lovely breads what a shame!!

We went there last weekend for the first time. Food is delicious. Mediterranean Tapas kind of thing. Staff very nice and friendly. The whole place has a cosy atmosphere. We loved it!

We really fancied some small plate style dining for lunch and had been wanting to visit Buba for a while so thought it was a great choice. The menu is great, lots of choices, especially great range of choice for vegans too. Everything we had tasted great; especially loved the spiced lamb and the padron peppers. The cocktails were delicious also.

Fantastic food! Got to speak with the chefs in the kitchen and they were so kind and informative about the food & different places for us to visit on our vacation in Ireland. We'd love to go back some day!

Was expecting a lot more after good reviews... Got vegan tapas and salad and must say I was very disappointed. Absolutely nothing special taste wise, presentation was very good though... won't come back...

Third time at Buba and unfortunately it was a mixture of highs and lows. I’ll start with the lows, we had a 5 pm seating for 2 and arrived just before 5. After being shown to our table at 5, we didn’t see anyone again until 15 minutes later despite there being the same number of staff visible as there was customers. There was only one other table occupied in the restaurant. After taking our order, the starters took an age to come despite there only being two tables being served (booked online and only had a 90 minute slot for the table. This was another gripe as 5pm was the only time available via the online booking system but during our sitting we saw 4 tables occupied until we left). The restaurant was also freezing cold, I had to wear my coat the entire time despite asking for the heat to be turned up when our waitress did eventually come. Wait and coldness aside, the starters were absolutely superb. We had the hummus, halloumi fries, padron peppers and stuffed mushrooms which were all delicious. Our mains however were a bit of a disappointment in comparison. The sticky beef kebab wasn’t really that appealing as two slices of beef on a flat bread with a not too sticky sauce and a few sliced chillis is something you’d expect at home and with the sides. The lamb tagine was equally as uninspiring and something you’d expect from a home cook. That being said both were tasty and suffering in comparison to the high quality of the starters. I really have enjoyed my trips to Buba in the past but it will be a while before we go back.

The food quality and menu variation was very good. However, the restaurant was very busy with a large party in the middle of the room who were very noisy and this reflected on the atmosphere of the restaurant. The waiting staff were rushed and made errors on our order and forgot to bring a requested drink. Also, when we made the reservation we were alloted a 1 hour 30mins time slot to eat and enjoy our time in Buba. After finishing our main meal we still had 25mins left on the clock, we asked for a desert menu and we were informed that due to the time, we would have to "eat desert and consume any other drinks outside". We decided to pay the bill and left. Good overall but we wont be rushing back.

I can barely move, I am so stuffed! Had hummus, babaganoush, pita, and fried aubergine as a starter. Probably could / should have stopped there, but I am a glutton! My wife had the bbq chicken (which I may or may not have finished 👀👀👀) and I had the steak. Both were delicious! We also had the pickled veg on the side. Ended with the vegan cheesecake, despite not being vegan. WOW! So good! Come here for dinner and you will not be disappointed!

Food here is so fresh and tasty lots to choose from and loads of veg and vegan options, the coctails were pretty good too and our meal was reasonably priced

Excellent restaurant in the popular Cathedral Quarter. The service and food were excellent and the restaurant has a nice relaxed vibe. Good wine and beer selection. The menu selection is not extensive but this makes selection easier if you aren’t used to Tapas or Middle Eastern food. It’s sister restaurant Coppi across the square is also worth a visit.

First time eating here. Lovely menu with lots of options for vegan and vegetarian. Recommend the picked salad veggies and the lemony potatoes. All delicious. Very reasonably priced too.

Certainly order the sides of pitta bread and pickles they are incredible. Don't order chips! Not because they aren't good, but because you are in a Morrocan style restaurant! The food is excellent. For 2 people order 2 small plates and 2 other dishes from the grill or big plates. It's plenty, then share. Highly recommend.

Top stuff, really enjoyed every dish and we'll be back 🙃

Really enjoyed my time here, cocktails were fab and the food was just so tasty. Service was fantastic.

Amazing food and attentive service. Absolutely moreish!

Beautiful food and cocktails. Service was also great for a busy Thursday
