About Sababa

Sababa offers a variety of delicious small plates, with the eggplant and zucchini particularly praised. The "cradle of civilization" cocktail is a highlight, known for its exceptional flavor. The service is friendly and professional, with the chef/owner often coming out to chat with guests. The restaurant previously added a surcharge, but it has since been removed. The menu features creative cocktails and tasty spreads, making it a great spot for a family-style dining experience. Diners enjoy the halloumi and falafel, as well as the roasted carrots, chicken liver, chicken schnitzel entree, and jeweled rice. The decor and ambiance are very pleasant, adding to the overall experience. Recent reviews praised the roasted carrot salad, which is a nice mix of sweet, savory, and herbal flavors with a touch of heat, and the lamb shank with couscous and veggies, which was flavorful, tender, and no knife needed. The atmosphere feels welcoming, almost like being in someone's home filled with laughter and the aroma of spices. The silky hummus, perfectly charred grilled meats and vegetables, and the warm, inviting service all reflect a deep understanding of Israeli cuisine and a passion for sharing it. The general manager leads with warmth and confidence, enhancing the dining experience. Overall, Sababa is more than just a meal; it’s a moment of celebration, flavor, and hospitality. Visitors look forward to returning for more.
