So I've said before that I love St. Augustines, but I think it's fair to reiterate my love for this place and their beer.

I absolutely love Nuba.
Depending on my mood I have to standbys that I always turn to.
If I'm in the mood for meat, I will get the lamb kafta plate. Usually more food than I need it's a lovely selection of lamb, potatoes, salad, humus etc. So good.

I would say something about the service, but it's clear to me from a quick scan of reviews that I don't need to. If you want good service, hell if you even want your food packaged away for you when you cant finish it don't go to Foundation.

Here's why I like the Naam, Rainbow tea.
