What User likes about Sababa:
Just came back from Israel and have been to Zahav in Philadelphia many times. This was better than Zahav and on par with authentic Israeli cuisine. A wonderful experience View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Sababa:
While I was looking forward to a spectacular Israeli type meal, I enjoyed a standard set of dishes which would be considered tasty but unremarkable at most Israeli restaurants.

Sababa offers a standard Israeli menu that lacks the adventurous flair of other Middle Eastern restaurants. The standout cauliflower dish is a highlight among other unremarkable options. Despite mixed reviews on food quality and authenticity, the service receives high praise. The ambiance and drinks are delightful, creating a relaxing oasis in the city. With a mix of traditional flavors and modern twists, Sababa is a hidden gem in Washington DC's dining scene. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and a diverse menu make it suitable for various occasions, though parking can be challenging.
