Sababa - Gainesville

We had a great first experience at Sababa! About 30 of us got together for dinner at the small family-owned restaurant. Not having been there before, we didn't realize how small the location would be, but Yael and Riley were adaptable and friendly, and we quickly moved tables inside from the patio so that we'd have enough seats. They will soon have more seating available. The owners were communicative and thoughtful in figuring out how to best serve our large party. The food itself was incredible. All the food is kosher, and they use no dairy. It was wonderful to see options readily available for meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten sensitivities; usually someone gets stuck with an option that's just OK, but all of us had great menu options regardless of our dietary needs. In particular, I highly recommend the vegan shawarma. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Sababa and are looking forward to going back or ordering from them!

Oh. my. god. The chicken shawarma is to die for. I love all of the salads and sides it comes with too. And this is the best falafel I've had in Gainesville to date. Sababa is our new favorite place! I wholeheartedly endorse this restaurant!!

You guys are great!!!this place is relaxing and great all the time the customer service is amazing also the food is extremely fresh if you're from gainesville you have to give it a try

First visit. I tried the falafel sandwich it was great. The service was quick friendly. Will def go back again.

Amazing food and service. I eat here at least once a week. So glad they opened downtown. You can tell they care deeply about the customer experience. I'm a shawarma guy myself, but the schnitzel's fantastic too. Can't recommended enough.
