Sinbad's Mediterranean Cafe

We absolutely love the amazing food, its affordable and the gentleman who works there is so nice, it all keeps us coming back for more! They have a lovely grandfather clock that strikes on the hour, great little shop and good music :)

Great Mediterranean food. The sandwiches and rolls they make are just wonderful, filling and the prices are really good and low!They have variety of lamb, beef, chicken, and sardines, just to mention a few of my favourites. They have many unique and special deserts and soft drinks!Not to mention great people and service as it is family business.Absolutely one of my favourites in Nanaimo!

Food was tasty. Not enough meat in the wrap. The premises were not well set up or have nice appearance. Looked as if the furniture was taken out of someone's garage or basement.Not pleased with the quantity of food. The ambiance felt like a warehouse.

I ordered delivery through SkipTheDishes and I was pretty disappointed when it came. The meat in the Shwarma was dry and tough, and it was pretty small for what I paid for it. When I paid $8 for meat and bread I assumed I'd be getting a couple of pieces of bread but it came with one with a bit of ground meat thrown on top, another surprise as the site says it comes with cubed meat. The only thing I found worth it was the hummus for $5.50 and only because you get a good amount in a reusable container. Probably won't be coming back.

I just visited this cafe and market for the first time tonight, and i was so overwhelmed by the hospitality of the owner that I felt compelled to write a review. The open sign called us in on a snowy night so we figured we would give it a try. The small cafe is bare bones but the food that is produced there is fresh and delicious. The owner suggested we sit and eat the food in, so we ordered a lamb shawarma and baklava each, both were incredible and very reasonably priced. The owner was gracious enough to give us a sample of his hummus, which was also fantastic. I will be frequenting this place for tasty meals and friendly service. I highly recommend giving it a try.

A very simple family run cafe with great fresh food and friendly service. I love the bright blue colours that remind me of coral seas.I highly recommend you try out this lil cafe, where one can happily support a great local, small business while enjoying flavourful food at a fair price.

My partner and I came in for a quick lunch yesterday. When we arrived the restaurant was just opening. The customer service was amazing and the food was great! We both got beef kabobs, and they were some of the best kabobs that I have ever had. We will definitely be making this a regular restaurant of ours.

Was quite disappointed with the lack of filling in my donair. The taste was fine but the meat was microwaved, not grilled :- / I'm still hungry!The place also was not very inviting, messy and empty..

Very good shwarma wrap! Tasty tahini sauce on flavorful spiced lamb meat with fresh lettuce and tomatoe wrapped in a grill pressed soft and crispy pita. Clean restaurant. Friendly owner. Fair price.

Delicious shawarma wraps. Always sure to finish off with some baklava. I stop in maybe once a week when I can. This is a family run spot with very friendly service.
