Sababa Restaurant

My manager bought us the dinner combo for lunch lol, which includes chicken kebabs, rice and salad. I will definitely recommend the salad!!! the dressing is so good. 5 stars for the salad. The chicken is a little bit dry. Maybe I will try lamb next time.

Had the worst experience at this place. Chicken shawarma plate just wasn’t good. After seeing all the positive reviews, I was excited to try it out, sadly left me severely disappointed. Not only was the food not good, but the prices were outrageous. Save your money, go elsewhere!

A hidden gem in North York for what they brand as Middle Eastern cuisine, which I believe is closer to Lebanese. We had the lamb kebabs with rice and fatoush salad and the chef’s selection of their dips and falafel. The lamb was excellent, very juicy and grilled to the perfect tenderness. The dips were also great: hummus, babaganoush and red pepper. Falafels were really good as well. The place is tucked away in a small plaza on Steeles so easy to miss. They also have a small grocery store attached that sells some traditional spices and ingredients for the same cuisine; plus a hot table.

I normally go to the Sababa grocery for the take-​out food. So far I’ve only gotten chicken/​beef shawarma pita for $ 5.99+tax.
The meat is scrumptious; savoury, tasty, salty with basic salad that balances it out. If you also add some spicy sauce, it adds an exciting sour sweetness and the spiciness kicks in later. Eating the pita can get messy. Beware!
There is outdoor seating outside the grocery store you can eat at although cleanliness is questionable.
When you compare Sababa to the famous Laffa, Sababa is definitely the most affordable and the meat can compete. It does not have the interesting fillers FL has but maybe it has more meat?.

The food was very good we enjoyed our stay and some of the best Lentil Soup I have ever had. nice.

Used to be a good place because of value. Rude and slow service at the front payment counter was tolerated because of this one reason. As of 2016, prices have been increased 25−50% across the board. No longer any reason to visit this establishment.

It is always great to share a meal at this restaurant. The food the service everything is always excellent.
It is a great choice for our family

Gave this place 2 chances and I think it is the worst middle eastern food in Vaughan, I have truly no idea how this place has good reviews, were very disappointing both times from the Food as well as the service!

Went on Tuesday evening. Quite place, friendly staff. Humus was great, very creamy. Falafel was also good. We were quite disappointed in the kebabs. Lamb was dry. And both lamb and chicken kebabs needed more seasoning. Maybe we will try the pita sandwich next time.

Was never a fan of the restaurant as I came a few times, better go to Me Va Me, better flavors.
But wanted to have a shwarma in pita, you only give meat and a salad while each topings is an extra 50 cents is a bit ridiculous. You get 2 stars for the meat nothing else. By the way, very oily as well.

Was very disappointed. The review at that moment was 4 stars, and I was expecting the food would live up to the hype, but failed. The kebabs my group of friends and I ordered were dried and tough, but had taste. The lentil soup I had was not impressive at all. The only part I liked was my salad.
Perhaps my group was too big for the staff and chef to handle, and thus, some food was overcooked and dry.

Came here after reading the BlogTO article. Restaurant is located in a corner of a Plaza, difficult to spot from the street. Service was really slow even though the restaurant was empty.
The dips were ok. Falafel and Shawarma were alright. The pita was warmed up not baked fresh. Lighting wasn’t great either. The slow service is what really got to me.

Ordered a couple of shawarmas and fries. Shawarma was pretty decent although I would of liked tomatoes in mine and a few other toppings. No doubt I could have had them all but at 50 cents additional topping I was like no thanks. I appreciated the fact that it was a hot sandwich. Too many places out there serving cold shawarma meat. I would also like to add that their boxed baklava were really dry. Didn’t enjoy them at all. Sadly I won’t be back.

Friends along with myself always have something good to say about this restaurant. Its cuisine infused with tons of flavor. The service is good, but could use some polishing. Portion size is excellent and the best bang for your buck.
You need to come and try the lentil soup! it’s a fantastic bowl to warm up too. Their hot table/​grocery store next door to the restaurant, has many items you can not locate at any regular grocers.
We get a birthday coupon in the mail every year, granting $ 10 savings on our next visit. Its really nice to see they appreciate our business, just as much as we appreciate their food.
Atmosphere is warm. Décor needs some attention, carpet condition not the most hygenic in a food establishment and the upholstery in their booths could use some steaming.

I can’t wait to go back!
I definitely love the romantic vibe inside the restaurant. The lighting makes the restaurant inviting.
As for food, I definitely would love to eat their hummus again!!! Yummm! It was so creamy and flavorful. Just how I like it. I also loved their lamb burger that they serve during lunch.
I would have to give service a 5 Star! The waitress who helped me gave really good suggestions. I’m grateful for her. She’s a 5!

Overrated.
Had a lamb shish kebab and a chicken shwarma.
Lamb meat was tough, full of chewy tendons that you ultimately had to spit out or swallow.
Chicken mean was more like sliced thigh. Thick dry pieces.
Their lentil soup was tasty and excellent.
Food was well seasoned and the pita was excellent but I wouldn’t go back.

I was so fortunate last night to eat at this
Fine establishment. Our soccer team celebrated the end of season by eating here as a group.
My goodness!!! the food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. We couldn’t ask for more.
The pita bread was hot and kept coming. The array of dips, treated my taste buds to flavours and textures that I had not experienced before. Loved loved the falafel! It certainly did not disappoint.
The Cuban cigars spicy and delicious, and the skewers were perfectly seasoned and prepared.
Last but not least, the wait staff were very friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure. My boys are already asking when can we come back.
Merry Christmas!

The restaurant is big. I love the decoration here. Lots of tables and booths with lots of mirrors on the walls to give the illusion that the restaurant is even bigger than what it really is. We ordered the $ 40 combo and it came with pita bread (unlimited), falafel plate (6 pieces), rice, fries, 4 appetizers of choice, and 3 skewers of choice. A great bang for the buck! Appetizers were amazing. Pita bread is freshly baked in their store. I recommend the Kebab skewer here. Service is exceptional. After we were done the waitress informed us that there is a grocery store next door so we checked it out too. We are so pleased for trying out this place.

The restaurant is pretty expensive but the take out counter at their mini grocery store is amazing! This is my to go place for Falafel pitas! For under $ 5, you get a delicious pita filled with fresh f alafels and veggies! The f alafels are deep fried and are very crunchy, not oily at all. For the sauce, it’s up to your liking and can ask them if you want more hot sauce to add spice to your pita.
I’ve also had their chicken Shawarma here and I must say it’s very delicious. I love their pita here, and they can be purchased at a good price from their grocery store.
Overall, they have great sandwiches at reasonable prices and service is quick and simple. Good for to go!

Ordered a chicken shawarma today, actually my first time ordering it here. i stopped after attempting to eat a third of it.
the meat was over seasoned for my taste, the preparer was also too liberal with the sauces (the order comes assembled from the kitchen), noticed some new signs posted, cost 50 cents for any substitutions and prices have gone up since I last visited a couple months ago.
I’ll stick to the falafels and hamburgers for now…
