what was consumed: salatim (5 different started salads to include carrot salad, beetroot relish, roasted red pepper, cucumber, and garlic labne ... all delicious), charred eggplant, roasted halumi, fried cauliflower, kebab

what do i know about israeli food? bashfully, not a whole lot. so when friend k suggested a sababa dinner, i was all for it!

sababa has so many delicious bites! our server was kind and very helpful with how to navigate the menu as well as his recommendations. when you go, be sure to order the salatim - the small bites of the various salads are great on the bread they give you as well as yummy accompaniments to the rest of your meal. they're small, though, so go wild and order multiple order if you have a party of more than ... two (or, if you're me, more than one. hahaha).

sababa also has a nice upstairs patio (in addition to their well air-conditioned interior with great ambiance!). it doesn't look out onto the street, but it is wide open. so after i was able to cool off from my walk to sababa, dining in fresh air was super great. if you can, i'd suggest trying to get a seat up there!
