Middle Eastern food and the scene here is above par. It's so tasty. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers. The bill was reasonable I would say.

Nice place to hangout with friends. Good food and beverages makes this place to be visited again.

Nic Strike

It's alright but the prices could've been a dollar or two lower for what I got.

The pictures on Yelp looked great, and 4/5 stars brought me in for lunch. The people in the pictures look so happy. I ordered a Chicken Schwarma sandwich and fries (sometimes fries in a middle eastern restaurant are outstanding!). I asked the cashier. "Yes, they're good," confirming my positive suspicions. When I received the order, it had only a handful of fries. I commented. The cook was nice enough, but said 6 oz, the fries are by weight. For $2? Yes. Not a dealbreaker, but disappointing. No garlic mayo. Dealbreaker. The sandwich -- how to explain? -- was not Shwarma, at least how I've experienced it over my last 20 years of Lebanese and middle eastern food. Fresh enough, but only excelled in one category -- absolute blandness. The only hint of Middle East was the cook's accent when disputing the fry serving. No spice, no garlic, no pickle; just lettuce and shredded chicken in mayo. No deliciousness I've come to associate with the item. The only reason I'm actually typing this long review is because it's more interesting than eating it. By the end, I've found some Mexican hot sauce. So wrong. Maybe you should choose something else. Maybe a different time of day. After all, the pictures on Yelp look really good. The people in them are happy.

Great food - great price!

They have a small salad bar with all high quality and a variety of dressings and toppings. They also have soups at lunch and deli items. I had the salad bar and a cup of soup. Handy if working in the building but for a salad, 8 ounce cup of soup and tap water it was $9.XX. I ate there again the next day. Same great salad bar and the panini was great too.

Huge menu with plenty of healthy options, and the food quality is exceptional for the price.

Bad quality food, tasted like McDonalds! Definitely NOT an Arabic restaurant, only had wraps and to-go food. I wouldn't reccomend this place if you want real food from a real restaurant.

My food was delicious. I had a corned beef sandwich and fries. Both were excellent. Not too busy. My food came quickly. My friend's food took a little longer which was kind of annoying. The atmosphere is pretty. Not a fan of the hours of operation but it is what it is. I'd definitely return for lunch again.

LOVELY MID-EASTERN RESTAURANT My wife and I stopped in here for lunch after visiting the Grohmann Museum across the street. We had the Beef Shawarma Wrap and the Zaire Zattar Flatbread. Both were delicious, but the flatbread was especially good. In here you order and pay, then they prepare your meal and call out your number. Not especially endearing, but this procedure seems to work.

Sababa is cheap, clean, relatively quick, and super good. The down-side is that it is not open for many business hours but for that part of town, its super good for the price. Good customer service as well.

the only joint i know where one can grab a decent falafel sandwich (or two) at seven o'clock in the morning!

Very good middle eastern food and middle eastern fusion. The prices were great as well. I would go back and try something different. I had the chicken sumac flatbread. Didnt dig it too much. I wish the hours were a little different. The food is served hot and plentiful. You will enjoy yourself as well.
