My husband and I not only experienced unique, delicious and beautifully plated food that was indeed special, but also the entire evening starting with Flor's welcome to NUMU and entering into a setting exuding ambiance. Our main waiter, Danilo, exudes kindness, warmth and a desire to make guests feel right at home. He was attentive and fully knowledgeable of our dishes. Jonathan, the second main waiter who is comfortably bilingual, has an elegance and grace and ability to describe food preparation in a manner that would allow him to wait tables at the finest U.S. restaurant as well as the finest, which is NUMU, in Nicaragua. The entire staff made the evening. This included Chef Eliseo who came greeted us at our table to the perfect drink prepared by Alan, the mixologist.

I came here with a group of 7 people for my birthday and it did not disappoint! The food was incredible, and the cocktails were fantastic! Especially the espresso martinis. ;) The service was top-notch. Unfortunately, I forgot our server's name, but he was a young man with an amazing mustache and he made our night. Thank you for such a memorable experience! Next time I am in Granada, I will definitely be back! Mallory

Yet another exceptional dining experience at NM. My taste buds were reawakened with the defined flavors of the various dishes we ordered. It really was a fine dining experience. Our dining partners wanted a table salad to share to complement our chosen meals so the kitchen prepared one for us which we really appreciated. Unfortunately the salad was extremely salty (we're not sure what happened) and it wasn't edible.

I loved the use of local ingredients such as “mimbro” in their desserts. I have never tried something like that before and the sweetness in it was unexpected being a really acid vegetable. Was overall a great experience.

I love it when restaurants make their guests truly feel welcomed and the routine and seemingly mundane act of eating turns into a sensory experience. That is exactly what NM Culinary gets right. The communication style, the service, the overall ambiance, the details and of course ---the food. This was the perfect spot to celebrate life, friendships and love. Half of us were vegans and although they had some choices, they were gracious and created a hearty vegetable curry and it was delicious --everything was! Thank you for creating this amazing place, we will definitely come back and spread the word!

NM is an outstanding culinary experience from beginning to end! From the moment you enter, the staff is super welcoming and hospitable. The cocktails were very good, and the meal was the best meal my friend and I had in Nicaragua. It was innovative, beautifully plated, and delicious. We tried a variety of the dishes including salad, vegetables, fish, and dessert. We recommend anyone visiting Granada to make a reservation at NM. It was a memorable dining experience to last a lifetime! Meeting and engaging with the head chef was also very memorable.

Dining at Numu was one of the best dining experiences we've had in Nicaragua. This is a great restaurant for celebrations. The space is chic yet intimate and the food is thoughtful, fresh, and delicious. We appreciated that the chef accommodated our vegetarian, lactose intolerant dietary needs and that there was so much attention to details with little extras added to the experience like the opening salad, breads and caramels with the check. As a vegetable plate, I highly recommend the eggplant and aioli. Make sure to peek behind the structure in the middle of the courtyard to see the herb and vegetable farm growing right next to the kitchen.

The restaurant had a lovely aesthetic and the servers were incredibly friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the overall taste, or lack thereof, of the food. For our starters we ordered the beets, plantains, and chicken tamale. The tamale was by far the best, the beets didn’t have any flavor and the sauce did absolutely nothing for it. The plaintain was over charred and all I tasted was burnt plus some cotija (or a similar type of cheese) grated on top. For my entree I had the shrimp dish. While the shrimp was good, the portion size was tiny and it could have used some rice or vegetables. It came with something wrapped in a leaf, but it was flavorless and I couldn’t get past the texture to determine what it was. It definitely was not worth the price for five extra small shrimp. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse cake and that was also a tiny portion and lacked the sweetness I was hoping for. I’d definitely recommend this place for cocktails, but sadly I couldn’t recommend it for the food.
