Sababa - Milwaukee

Without a doubt, this charming little restaurant is the most underrated gem within a mile. I visit about once a week for lunch and have only tried their more popular hot sandwiches, but each one has been delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is typically calm and inviting, giving it a cozy, home-like feel. Plus, the prices are quite reasonable.

All the dishes we ordered for dinner ranged from good to very good. The Mezza Combo was an impressive selection of items including hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, falafel, tabouleh, and olives, all served with plenty of pita bread. However, the standout dish was the Kibbeh croquettes made with spiced beef, onions, and pine nuts. The Arabic coffee was also a highlight. Our service was attentive and friendly, balancing helpfulness without being intrusive.

Sababa offers great value, is clean, fairly quick, and the food is excellent. The only downside is that its hours of operation are somewhat limited, but considering the area, it’s a fantastic option for the price. The customer service is also very good.

Huge menu with plenty of healthy options, and the food quality is exceptional for the price.

Great food, service, and price... going to be back here soon.
