Cafe Sababa - Mediterranean Grill

My partner picked up a gyro platter and falafel platter for us -TASTE: 2/5 - not sure if it was an off day, but we were disappointed by our food, especially given the stellar reviews here. The gyro meat was seasoned nicely, the feta and tzatziki were satisfying, and I enjoyed my falafel and hummus. But the babaganoush didn't taste right (and I usually love all types of eggplant) and the chopped salad didn't taste freshTEXTURE: 4/5 - the hummus was creamy and a good pairing w the pita, and the falafel was crunchy on the outside. However, there was too much liquid w the chopped salad PRICE: 4/5 - each platter was $14, though I expected a little less for lunch SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - decent portions since we wanted a light, late lunch

Cafe Sababa is one of a few eateries in a strip mall. There is an Indian Market, a Thai restaurant, an eyebrow threading shop, and more! I searched for Mediterranean food in the area, and Cafe Sababa was highly rated, so off I went!There is a good amount of free parking in the area. There are several tables and benches outside the restaurant and along the strip for you to eat at as well. Inside, the restaurant is clean, spacious, and has pretty art decorating the walls. The guy at the register was kind and had good energy. He was patient with everyone, too. I ordered the lamb plate, which came with leg of lamb, hummus, Babaghanoush, and a cucumber/tomato salad. Also snagged a bottle of water for 50 cents.I sat outside because it was a beautiful day! They will bring your food out to you. Also included in my meal were two large, fresh pita rounds, some sort of creamy delicious sauce, and a spicy sauce that I paid 40 cents for. Those things were great! The lamb was scrumptious! The hummus was good. However, I didn't really care for the Babaghanoush or the salad, but charge that to my tastebuds and not the restaurant.I have already told my coworkers about the place, and I will definitely return!

So I was on the hunt for a good spot for Mediterranean food and I came across this joint. It's in a strip mall and it isnt too big (maybe 10 tables all together). As soon as I came in, my order was read and was still hot. Tried the gyro and chicken shawarma pockets, as well as the hummus. The food was good, and was pretty flavorful, but it needed the hummus to give it a little bit extra pop. The pocket sandwiches were very sizable and you could get full off of one probably. They cut a pita open and stuffed it to the brim, basically. I would come back again.

So, so glad this place survived the pandemic. The lamb dishes are specials and are consistently great...also, I love the attentive, warm service and the general vibe. Great family restaurant with lovely attention to detail.

I love the food, service, ambiance and everything about this place. No non-sense. The food and hospitality speak for themselves, but the fact this place is always booming with familiar faces during lunch is a testament to Cafe Sababa. I'm sad it took me so long to discover this place, but this is a new weekly stop for me and it should be for you as well. The Lamb Sandwich and Shawarma Pocket are on another level!

This was my first time eating here. I was in the area walking a trail and I decided to have lunch here. I'll back back to try something different. I had the Chicken Slovaki Pocket w/ fries cooked and seasoned to perfection.

Wow! Took my bride there yesterday for my first experience there and we were not disappointed. The shawarma was literally the best I have ever had. I am a big eater and I had a hard time finishing it. Service was great and hearing both English and Hebrew spoken made the experience feel even more authentic. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

Love the lamb sandwich. I have visited at least 3 times and keep ordering the same thing. The lamb sandwich is full of flavor and fulfilling.

This was my first time visiting. OMG!! This food was delicious and flavorful with each bite! The guy at the register was very inviting and customer service was on point. Another patron told me the soup was very good, so he gave me a sample. Totally agreed with her and bought some. I ate my chicken souvlaki pocket and rice. I was full and the food was filling, but I didn't have that "itis" feeling.

Our go-to place for takeout! Lamb's great, Hummus really flavorful, lots of pita. And great sauces. Baklava is yummy!! Food always ready on time. Exiting parking lot is not for faint of heart, but then neither is heavy Atlanta rush hour! Small ethnic grocery shelves are nice.
