Another excellent restaurant by ‘local’ chef and restauranteur, Alon Shaya. A uniquely crafted menu where every item is elegantly presented, with quite unique flavors for its simplicity. Great for lunch or dinner. Large covered outdoor seating and an equally large and comfortable room and bar inside. Good for a large group, which can be hard to find on Magazine.

Love how colorful the food is here. Also a huge fan of the super fluffy unlimited pita breads. All the dishes were sharable. The dips were delicious. Perfect for a group of friends. The drinks are so pretty and I appreciated the non alcoholic versions. Servers were super helpful and kept the pita coming which was fantastic! We got shakshuka, a few dips, the matzo ball soup, toast with scrambled eggs and the plate with the lamb kofta. All of it was delicious Would recommend! Great spot for a brunch as well!

Superb place to eat on Magazine street. The food was amazing. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It is a very elegant restaurant. The food was next level because it just didn’t taste good but it was an experience for your senses. Everything was fresh. The smell from the flowers add another level to the drink experience. Vegetables were fresh from the garden. I love the mix of flavors. This place is a must try if you are visiting New Orleans.

Perfect place to stop for lunch. Very fresh salads, creative dishes, excellent drinks – solid awesome experience in every way. Cabbage with muhammara and hazelnuts was inspired. Very kind staff and beautiful ambience.

One of our most favorite places to eat it. We try to go at least once every year or so. We recently went for a lunch to try a few new dishes we haven’t had before. We kicked things off with a Bloody Mary, regular hummus then ordered the friend chicken and fries. Absolute hits! Already can’t wait to visit again.

Saba was delicious. The food was fresh and flavorful. It was perfect for sharing amongst the table. The drinks were also superb! I would recommend to anyone and any group size.

I’m genuinely saddened to give this rating because I had very high expectations for Saba.
We arrived with reservations, yet waited about 30 minutes before even being offered water. Our server then explained there was confusion about which tables were assigned to which servers. At that point, we decided to order drinks, appetizers, and entrées all at once to help move things along.
Unfortunately, the experience continued to unravel. We waited another 40 minutes for our appetizer, and our drinks still hadn’t arrived. During this time, three tables seated after us—who also ordered after us—received both drinks and appetizers before we did. When we asked, we were told the bar was backed up, which didn’t align with what we were seeing around us.
The lamb hummus was excellent—truly the highlight of the meal. However, we were told additional bread would be brought, and it never was. After finishing the appetizer, we waited another 30 minutes before the next course arrived. By then, the 11-year-old dining with us was completely done and frustrated, which is understandable.
From there, the food was disappointing:
• The chicken was dry and lukewarm, though flavorful
• The fish was overcooked
• The falafel was shockingly dry—honestly the driest falafel I’ve ever had
One of the meals – the small plate lamb – was not even given to us until after the rest of us were finished- when the waitress came to gather our plates we had to tell her because she had not come by to check on us at all
Our server never checked back to see how the food was, and nothing was offered to make up for the experience—no dessert, no comp, just a brief, half-hearted apology.
Saba is a beautiful restaurant with so much potential, but our visit did not reflect the quality or hospitality we expected. Sadly, we won’t be returning, and we can’t recommend it based on this experience. In fact go elsewhere.
I truly hope this was an off night—but it was not a great one for us.

The food is amazing. The service is average. We were seated early when we showed up but it then took a long time to be attended to by a waiter. Once we ordered a bottle of wine it took a bit to come out. It also took our waiter a while to take our order. Those were the only downsides because the food is amazing. The hummus is very creamy along with incredibly fresh pita. Lamb Kofta was very tender and generous portion for a small plate. The harissa chicken had immense flavor. The fries were also perfectly crispy

What a treat!!
This was the final
Dinner we had in Nola and let me tell you this place packed
The most flavor into their dishes!! Violet our server was wonderful!!! Gave us recommendations, was very patient as we took our sweet time and enjoyed our dinner out on the patio. The garden district is where it’s at!!! Loved the atmosphere here. We walked around after dinner to admire the beautiful architecture in the area. One word of advice however…. Do not get the baklavas cheesecake … the topping reminded me of stale mini wheaties, the cheesecake was warm… and the crust was hard enough to construct a house with. That is literally my only negative thing to say. Outside of that hands down my favorite meal in the big easy
