The meal was well balanced from start to finish. The mezze selection was fresh and thoughtfully presented, with a nice contrast of creamy, tangy, and earthy flavors paired with warm, soft bread. The mixed grill was generous and satisfying, served over fragrant yellow rice with well-seasoned, nicely charred meats. Grilled peppers and tomatoes added smokiness, while the pickled onions brought a bright, refreshing lift. Overall, comforting, flavorful, and well executed.

We went here for our eighth anniversary and it did NOT disappoint. The service from Aiden, our server, was fantastic, but we also got excellent tips from the woman who sat us at the beginning. The food comes out as it is ready, and we thoroughly enjoyed ordering extra pita just so we could keep eating and enjoying the dips we had as our appetizer. My husband had the lamb kebab and we split the sea bass entree, but the cocktails were OUTSTANDING. We of course ordered a phenomenal dessert (caramel tart!) and received a complimentary glass of ginger ale for our anniversary to go with it (we had told them we didn’t want more alcohol since we were driving). The atmosphere was lovely, and the food made it utterly delightful. We can’t wait to go back!

we had a lovely double date and the desserts are probably the best I ever had in DC for me. However we felt like the plate portion sizing could have been more clear. The beef kofta was delicious, well-seasoned and flavorful but we didn’t feel like it was shareable sizing for a table of 4, and the staff didn’t really say what’s the recommended number of plates for a party of 4. The pomegranate mocktail was amazing. Overall we would return!

This was our first time at Sababa. The decor is a great visual to the food we were about to enjoy. Our server Collette is a pro. Her confident and animated voice lets you know she’s got you, and while listening to her talk about the menu, it brings to life the words you’re reading.
We started with some drinks. The mockcocktails are more than OJ and cranberry. My Cradle of Civilization was the perfect seasonal alcoholic drink.
We ordered some small plates and a two beef kebabs plate. The kabob was seasoned and cooked to a great finish. It came with rice so two people can share. By the way, items come out as ready. Next we ordered the roasted eggplant which honestly is to die for. We also ordered the halumi cheese. Last we ordered the carrot salad. We didn’t enjoy this as the acidicness was just to much. I didn’t care for it, which doesn’t mean someone else would like it. We mentioned this to Collette and it was quickly taken off our bill. Thank you!
For dessert we had the first choice on the dessert menu Konofi cake. But if you don’t eat anything else at Sababa, you have to have this dessert.

Sababa serves absolutely delicious modern Israeli cuisine. The restaurant is clean, intimate and beautiful, the servers are friendly and the dishes are fantastic. Highly recommend the roasted cauliflower and the salmon cabab.

Super delicious spot. Everything we had was delicious and generously portioned. Schnitzel, hummus, dip assortment, and kofta were all great. The pita was absolutely amazing! Felt it was reasonable pricing for what we got. Service was great too. Highly recommend!

Sababa is such a fun place and very creative. Where else are you going to find sweet potato falafel? I love the shakshuka, the coffee is always great, service is nice and we’re lucky to have this wonderful place in Cleveland Park.

Wonderful food. Friendly service. Very attentive. Maybe a little to attentive. The hummus is truly amazing. So are the other spreads and the bread.

This was probably my 7th or 8th visit. Sababa is one of my favorite choices for upper NW along Conn. or Wisc. aves.
The food is consistently good for anyone who likes Middle Eastern / Israeli food. It’s also one of the best values at its price point.
Servers are nice and attentive, though some occasional ditz out (eg, a server brought a drink for my friend, who’d arrived earlier, and did not offer me one, but she turned out overall good.)
The interior is not fancy but always comfortable, and it’s never been too noisy when I’ve been there.

We had a wonderful experience at Sababa. I ordered the sea bass, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and my husband had the chicken schnitzel, which was perfectly crispy and delicious. Our server was very kind and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
