In addition, the backdrop of the city provides a historically prestigious holiday or business trip location for any guest in which Al Nuba can provide respite after a long day of exploring the local area. Furthermore, leading to the restaurant itself is the grand lobby full of beautiful Arabic and African influences, allowing guests to step into a vista of aesthetic delights that funnel out into a luscious garden area mirror a tranquil oasis amidst the vastness of the desert. Each element of the hospitality focused establishment has been specifically crafted to give the guest the best experience possible. In addition, Al Nuba is a relaxed environment that is open to the general public as well as guests, making itself a gem of the local area through its exemplary service and delicious cuisine, including specialties throughout the day from breakfast to lunch and dinner. It even serves an exemplary brunch which it is excited for its clients to experience. Every day at Al Nuba is also something new, allowing patrons to sample all manner of cuisine from Arabian on Sundays, to Mediterranean nights on Mondays, African focused foods on Tuesdays, Seafood specific on Wednesdays, Barbecue on Thursday, International brunch on Friday, and Asian nights on Sunday. Each one of these themed nights has become renowned amongst the hospitality industry of its area for both the variety and excellence of delivery. Furthermore, its menu is expansive enough to be able to offer a wide variety of vegetarian options, a vegan selection, a Halal menu, and Gluten Free options across any time of day and all of its various kinds of cuisine. Al Nuba has even made a name for itself for a variety of amenities available to make a client’s stay more comfortable and accessible, from takeout options to reservations, as well validated parking, valet parking, highchairs available at all tables, table service, a buffet option, and free WiFi – it also works hard to ensure that the restaurant and the hotel in general is wheelchair accessible. This all falls under the Al Nuba belief that everyone should get the chance to sample the outstanding cuisine that it and its team of chefs prepare on the daily. The Executive Chef of Al Nuba – Chef Mohammed Al Ezzi – is one of the exemplary forces that makes the kitchen of Al Nuba what it is, and he has been working at the restaurant for over 2 years now, meaning that he has spent years honing and perfection how to serve the patrons of the Al Nuba specifically. This is clearly shown in the brilliance of the cuisine offered and the way in which the staff strive to meet and exceed client expectations every single time and in the many awards and accolades the team has achieved. With the surrounding hotel offering guests a hospitality experience like no other and close to the Khartoum International Airport, Al Nuba encourages clients to take the chance to find respite within its restaurant. Consequently, it promises a restful and stress-free experience for the weary traveller who just arrived, or for those making their way there, preparing them for the rest of the journey – wherever that may take them. In addition, it also offers complimentary travel to and from the airport, and is ranked the number 1 restaurant on Trip Advisor. Due to this, it certainly isn’t hard to find. The glowing reviews across these sites, as well as the incredible word of mouth referrals that its client accredit it with, have allowed it access to a lucrative market segment and a roster of clientele that grows by the day, bringing in new clients and happy to see new ones return. Furthermore, its distinctive culinary stylings are hard to mimic both in the range its chefs are capable of and the way in which its work has set it apart from its competition, forever looking forward to a challenge and excited to respond to the comments and opinions of its customers in order to be able to grow and improve. Al Nuba is even capable of preparing its dishes at its numerous live stations, a task it takes great pride in. The live preparations are a seamless combination of both cooking and performance art, allowing customers a slice of insight into how the kitchen works to prepare and deliver such exemplary food, working with impressive techniques and the best tools of the trade. Aside from this, it also offers the provision of lavish buffets that cover all manner of appetizers, main courses, and desserts, as well as an a-la-carte menu that has become renowned for its classic Al Nuba quality. The food is also prepared fresh across the board; Al Nuba refuses to work from frozen, preparing it all with a dedication to making it both delicious and beautifully presented. It will, as one review put it, be able to impress even the most seasoned palette – and indeed it has, serving all manner of clientele across the board and happy to ensure that everyone will be able to find something they love. In addition, its staff work hard to be able to cultivate a warm, welcoming, open atmosphere in the restaurant itself. Al Nuba also strives to keep up this atmosphere even when customers leave the restaurant, with the General Manager Adnan Dayoub responding to Trip Advisor views personally and thanking people for their complimentary words and their feedback. Out of all the restaurants in its region, none have caused a stir quite like Al Nuba; and it is excited to welcome more customers through its doors soon to show them exactly what it can do.
