Sababa - Piatti

Wir könnten nett draußen sitzen. Das Essen war außergewöhnlich lecker. Auf Kinderwünsche wurde flexibel eingegangen.

Very disappointing. Humus was OK. Sababa Chicken dish was of low quality and too sweet. The restaurant is lacking focus on quality in any aspect.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, speziell tolles Essen, bestes Baba Ganush, dass ich je hatte Falaffel in Pita waren lecker und wurden auf Kinderwunsch angepasst Visualizza piatti

Strolling through the neighbourhood and found this spot. Great food - amazing homemade hummus - and fantastic service. Reasonably priced for Berlin. Owner wandered around offering challah for Shabbat! Would highly recommend.

I ordered the Iranian Love Bomb (veggie) per 4sq recs, it was good but a bit pricey. I suppose that's what you get for the neighborhood. With that said, the ambience is nicer than a typical, casual Middle Eastern doner shop. I wouldn't agree that it's the best hummus in Berlin, go to Azzam in Neukolln for incredible hummus.

The hummus here is fantastic. We had a small party, and we ordered a few appetizers and a different hummus dish each. Everything was delicious, but the portion was way too big. Each of us could only finish half of the plate, we had to call in more friends to help us finish. :D Next time I think 2 people can just share 1 hummus dish, and may be a small appetizer.

The problem with this place is consistency. Sometimes the hummus is good, sometimes so-so. Sometimes you get pickles, sometimes nothing. The pitas from the supermarket are sometimes warm, sometimes hard. Quality is a problem here... Service is also unprofessional. You can sometimes see the waitress on her phone and she just doesn't see you. I couldn't see any attentive staff for fifteen minutes the last time I was there!... The prices went up sharply lately, which is another pity. I find Zula much better quality and much more consistent. And even not more expensive.

Sababa has been around for a couple years now. When it opened, I found the hummus to be better than Zula. Over time, the consistency of the hummus tends to change depending on what day you go. The plus over Zula is that the garlic and lemon juice portioned properly in the hummus and not served on the side, which is NOT traditional. The minus is that they do not prepare their own Israeli-style pitas, which is still limited to Zula (and Djimalaya, started by one of its former owners). Sometimes they have Skhug (you have to ask for it), sometimes they don't. It's these inconsistencies that keep me from giving Sababa 5 stars, but otherwise it remains one of the best places for hummus in the city...

For those times when: A day of solo exploring has left your palate ravished and your feet swollen; You seek Mediterranean food but not Mediterranean fast food (which can be found all over); Listening to the owner 's choice of music (Leonard Cohen, Simon Garfunkel) will amplify your joy; A waitress will compliment you on your very nice selection, off the chalkboard, of hummus and falafel; Your hunger is not so debilitating that you cannot wait for the food to be freshly prepared to order; You wish to sample authentic Israeli hot sauce made from fresh lemons and hot yellow peppers; and Meeting the owner (who has come over to see how you liked that hot sauce you requested), his wife, and childr...
