Sababa of Soho in City of London, Westminster

Not recommended restaurant The food is not good and not fresh The place is not clean and the prices are high and the service is not good

Food was decent as always! Been here before so was excited to take the Mrs (spoke highly of sababa...wait for it...) - bitterly disappointed with the service we received. We arrived a full hour before closing but were rushed into ordering and told that if we wanted to eat in, we’d have to finish it in 10 minutes. The woman host was extremely sour faced and rude to us. Sadly i would not recommend this place to anyone anymore :(

absolutely love this place, so glad I have found it! my work canteen cannot compare to the quality and price of this hidden gem

independent Middle Eastern-style eaterie. Nice food, not spectacular, but better then average out than most chains. menu is authentic with a modern twist, positioning it in between a lunch takeaway place and fancy late night grill shop. I’ll come again.

I love this restaurant, they are friendly, organised and the food is so so tasty. And they have a wealth of choice too! I go there for a takeaway regularly. I love their swarmas, falafel wraps, roasted veg wraps as well as their lamb and chicken wraps!! The chilli potatoes are a particular fave of mine. Give them a try!

A group of us was fortunate enough to come across this fabulous corner take away/restaurant in extremely busy part of LONDON. The welcoming faceses, the fresh food, the value for money - all, but not least the great hospitality of the Mediterranean people behind SABABA. Yes. SABABA runs by a formar Syrian, Lebanese and we were former Israelis who were fortunate enough to see this place and enjoy what on offer. Opened in December 2018 and may it last at the Soho of London. It is very busy during lunch time, but it runs efficiently and fast enough. The box you are to order would be filled with delicious food for more than enough. Enjoy!

Been here several times for working lunch or takeaway. Food is nicely presented with loads of choice from freshly prepared ingredients. The halloumi wrap is fabulous. Staff always very friendly and efficient

I bought the Falafel box using a Nez voucher code (£2) and received a large box filled with many different fresh ingredients. Falafel (delicious) couscous with char-grilled vegetables, salad, feta cheese and more. I will be going back to try more for sure as the selection of other foods look mouthwatering aswell.

We saw this place yesterday and we went in to check the menu but the server were not friendly at all! We thought to go back today and try it out cos some of the dishes looked delicious! The welcoming were a lot better today everyone greeted us. We went for the “make your own box @6.90 Mine was the rice, moussaka, toasted vegetables and Greek salad. Limited choices for vegetarian or vegan. The rice were hard so was the vegetables. I ordered the Moroccan mint tea but was given fresh mint without the tea. I wanted to tell the guy who made the tea but they were too busy sorting out their delivery and I had to leave by 12 noon. The meat and chicken dishes maybe be delicious but not for me!

The food was bad but maybe it’s because we were using a voucher from Time Out (£38 for 2, including unlimited meat skewers). It took forever for food to arrive, salads were pitiful, the meet on skewers was cold, dry and tasteless, service was painfully slow and decidedly unfriendly and they ran out of wine as soon as we arrived (!). I am amazed so many people leave good reviews, it's doubtful this place has a separate kitchen for voucher-holders, but the service was clearly contemptuous because of it.

Seabass superb as was accompanying rice. Will go back. Nice wine. Would recommend providing napkins!

友だちとランチをしました。そのレストランはオシャレではありませんが、居心地は良かったです。ブッフェスタイルのように、ワンプレートでいくつか好きな料理が選べました。スタッフも親切でした。 I had lunch with my friend. The restaurant is not stylish but comfortable. We can choose some kinds of dishes for one plate like a buffet. It was inexpensive but tasty. The staff are friendly.

Came here with two friends and we had a great evening. Staff are extremely friendly and efficient. Food is delicious and very reasonably priced, and they also have a cocktails offer, where you can order two for £10. Recommend the chicken platter in particular.

Birthday treat through Groupon. Staff very welcoming and attentive we arrived earlier than booking time and this was not a problem seated straight away. Food was very nice. Worth a visit.

A great spot to get a healthy and tasty salad. I've been coming here for a couple of months now and I've never been disappointed. Also, you'll be met by friendly staff and it's good value for money.

Family of four ate here tonight as our plan A wasn’t open until 6pm (we needed earlier as off to the theatre) - this place was open and proved an excellent if not better plan B. Reasonable price for incredibly tasty food, lamb kofta was...

After having a few top many cocktails we thought it was time to soak up the alcohol. We stumble upon this place asked they were doing two cocktails for £10. It's a friendly place and service was brilliant. They give you thus addictive complimentary pop...

OK but uninspiring food - especially given how delicious this cuisine can be. Service so offhand verging on rude. When we told the first waiter we were redeeming a Time Out voucher he took the menus away without looking at us or saying a word...

Went to Sababa for lunch break and the food was amazing, full plate at an extremely reasonable price. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.\ Truly a hidden gem in the heart of soho.

We had a great experience at Sababa who organised the catering for our party. Everyone raved about the food! The guys were so helpful, they gave us lots of extra side dishes and helped us carry everything. I'd definitely recommend!

Four of us went here for dinner, the food was very tasty and the service lovely and friendly! Also reasonably priced. Nice little find!

Really enjoyed a night here with 3 friends. Food was all delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Service was also fantastic- our waiter Jalal couldn't have done more for us, really friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

I love this place. I eat here often with my friends, the food is fresh and tasty. I eat a lot of Lebanese food from Beirut to Edgware Road and this place has great quality food at amazing prices . The salads, wraps, & grills...

Great place very friendly service good food nice cocktails and when it’s 2for £10 you can’t go wrong the chicken was so well marinated and cooked and I love the greeck salad the cheese so creamy and light will definitely go back the place is...

I had 7 courses. It consisted of 4 dishs of vegetarian starter, 1 main course (1 chicken stick and 1 lamb stick) and 3 little pieces of desserts. Food was dirty. It had some rubbish thing on my bread. I told a staff who did...

Went with a family of four, absolutely rubbish customer service and most importantly extremely poor tasting food, i had the worst of experience. Never going back

I booked an 'all-you-can-eat' offer on Timeout which included 3 starters, 3 types of unlimited meat and dessert. The starters were all very tasty - be aware that although I bought 2 vouchers they only served us starters for one so they were on the...

Went with my adult daughter with a Groupon voucher for a seven course meal on a Wednesday evening. The seven courses were more seven dishes. The first round was hot and cold starters - houmous with pitta bread, a chickpea and aubergine dish, beetroot salad,...

The food is was good but the service was awful. The guy who hosted us and served, doesn’t have any manners. We felt quite disrespected and could not wait to leave. There is only one toilet which is disgustingly dirty and by the kitchen. The...

We went for the 'all you can eat meat feast' Timeout deal on a Saturday evening and it was very disappointing. Not at all what was promised, 'spiced potatoes' were just chips, 'greek salad' was a bit of iceberg, and it was all very cheap...

My express lunch plateful was £7.50. The sesame sauce was set aside, I bathed the falafel into it, that was a worth trying experience. The entire place was spacious, bright and busy. All of SOHO characters you can observing through the windows.

Wow! I’m not sure any review would be as good as the food & service at Sababa! Amazing food, fabulous flavours, incredible intensity of tastes, wonderful wine, great value, crisply clean & quality service! Fresh & fabulous sort of sum up the meal at Sababa!...

The food here was really good, excellent variety and all very tasty. Atmosphere was good, and the level of service was just right. Meze platter was especially good value, particularly with a Groupon offer.

Was given a paper voucher for a £1 lunch deal with the Nez App wandering through Soho so went to give it a try. Easy, quick service and and a great way to try somewhere new out. Recommend both Sababa, and the Nez app.

Just eaten here. Had to book in advance on the day, not a problem. Lovely little cafe style restaurant. Set meal, very nice, good service, as long as you can get past the tin plate lol. Food was lovely but as expected.

I recently stumbled upon Sababa when searching the local area for our next staff lunch venue. From the moment I walked in I was given a warm welcome. After discussing with the owner and manager I was given a great deal on a lunch for...

It was nice to find a place in the middle of the select area of London serving good food at a reasonable price. Nice taste and good wine using a Groupon voucher. Only concern no lamb chop as advertised. Welcome great and will be happy...

My sister and I stumbled upon this restaurant in Soho and we loved it. Food was really tasty, authentic and good quality. Very reasonably priced and generous portions! Jalal was friendly and attentive! We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending it! Keep...

Amazing food, including a delicious garlic sauce, and attentive service. Very reasonable price for lunch right in the middle of Soho.

Found Sababa completely by accident on way to theatre. The restaurant was empty when we arrived the one man serving was very welcoming and informative. We chose the special menu, 6 small plates for starter and then a choice of 5 or 6 main dishes...

Looking for a fairly cheap sit down bite in Soho can be a challenge. Fortunately, we stumbled across Sababa. The mezze selection was perfectly fine, nothing was bad, nothing was amazing. The poor waiter was left to do it all himself, we felt sorry for...

We were a party of 4. The place is small and understated, but the service and food were both excellent. We will certainly return. Thoroughly recommend it!

It was very quiet when we went, 9m on a Tuesday. The service was quick. The food was good - in particular the hummus and other salads which were all clearly homemade. Mezze for two was filling and good sized portions.

I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend. I had a voucher for a 7 course meal. The nightmare began with club music pounding at about 1pm in the afternoon. The only thing true about what was advertised was that 7 items were served to...

They do really nice Lebanese sort of food, you can either have it on a plate or as a wrap. Food is really filling and yummy! Vegetarian options are great Good service to 🤗

Booked reservation for lunch through Groupon site and was subsequently confirmed and paid. Then received a phone call from the restaurant saying no reservations can be made for meal before 16.00hrs! Said could go anyway but not deal we had booked and would be very...

We had the special menu and it was all delicious. And on a cold snowy night the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Sheepskins on back on chairs was a nice touch. Good service.

Quite small portions, cold moussaka, bland chicken, hair in lamb kofta, dry baklava but good service. Apparently this meal is supposed to be £85.50 (yeah right).

Lovely little restaurant right in the heart of Soho. We had a Groupon voucher and weren't expecting much for our money but we received a pleasant surprise. Delicious freshly made meze to start and then chicken and lamb kebabs with chips, baklava and a glass...

Went on a Groupon, and was pleased. Tasty food. Generous servings. Bought a lovely glass of Lebanese wine as an extra too. Service was friendly. Toilet room could do with a lick of paint and dusting, but the toilet itself was clean. Would go back.

We had a Living Social voucher for a seven course tasting menu in this cosy restaurant in Frith Street. Lovely array of small dishes with warm flatbreads which we really enjoyed and thought our meal was over but then came a platter of chicken, kebabs,...

Went to this restaurant in January for the first time using a Voucher. The food was plentiful, tasty and there was a nice choice. The Staff were attentive and I would have no hesitation in recommending this as a place to eat.

We had the group on deep which was a starter of lots of different bits including falafel, hummus, lentil rice etc. Really tasty. Then it including a main for you to share with some baclava with the bill. We were both really full and the...

Visited this restaurant on a short trip to London. We opted for the 7 course taster meal. I have to say, the food was excellent. Traditional Lebanese with pitta breads, humus, falafel, salads and the like. Then the waiter Jalal, came over with a plate...

Sababa is in the heart of London's Soho district, a pleasantly informal café-restaurant serving Levantine street food, both traditional and contemporary. Here you can find a good selection of starters such as Hummus, Tabouleh, Falafel, Moutabal aubergine puree as well as hot mezze such as...

The happiest service with the most amazing tasting food. Perfect for lunches, super fresh food. Amazing value for money!!! By far the best place for lunch!!

Went to this nice little restaurant just tucked away on road running parallel to Charing cross road as had read good reports on TripAdvisor, and was glad we did , had made a booking for the evening through a Groupon voucher £27 for a meal...

Good service, good food, good flavours & all round good experience, will be going back very soon Marc Alexander Nottinghill, London

I have visited this pop up restaurant several times now, I love the food and friendly staff. Although I have used Groupon deals and other vouchers on occasions I also highly recommend the standard menu. Well Worth a visit.

Simply the best .. great food great cocktails great service and great prices welldone sababa , we went for a dinner after along day of meetings and we had a fantastic time there we had 2 for 10 cocktails and selections of a delicious mezza...

Jalal was very attentive and changed the vegetarian platter to suit my requirements which was much appreciated. The portion was very big and so I had to take some home. The salad was fresh and everything was seasoned to perfection. I was very impressed and...

We had the groupon tasting menu. The mezze of starters was really tasty; the best falafel ever. Then the waiter arrived with the main course; which we weren't expecting! It was so nice we had to eat it, even though we were already full. This...

We had a wowcher code for Sababa and what a treat it was. The food was great, very tasty and plenty of it. And the staff were amazing, so warm and friendly (especially when the manager helped my girlfriend sort out the voucher code she...

Meal very good, wide variety of flavours, hummus and falafels exceptional, lamb kebab tasty and the chicken also ( but this was a little dry). My only criticism would be that the food was not served hot but only just warm (even the chips) which...

We had a 7 course deal for a group of 8 people last month. It was easy to book although I did in advance as it was during the Christmas period. The staff on the phone were very patient and accommodating with changes in the...

We bought a voucher for a 7 course meal, with a soft drink. We got a soft drink, but certainly not a 7 course meal. There were something like tortilla chips brought to the table with our soft drinks. Next, came some mezze type dishes...

Youthful decor and the food was fab! I've always hated falafels. Then I realised I've been eating the crap ones. Their falafels were tasty!!

One word:"Outstanding ".:) Really easy to get there,closest stations: Oxford circus or Tottenham Court road.Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was really lovely. We had the tasting menu,salads,rice,hummus,falafel and grills with chips..Very tasty and fresh.Almost the same quality as in their other branch...

I had booked the groupon deal of ‘7 course meze with bottle of wine’ for £29 which is great value for central London. (Incidentally the same deal seemed to be on the board outside) The photo on groupon was of lamb cutlets which was a...

The place was recommended by friends and then we went for an early dinner .. we ordered two Sababa martini and a selection of mezza the falafel was on of the best have had and the homos was full of flavours and for main we...

Visited here on a wet weekday for a girly lunch and we had seven dish mezze platter with a glass of wine on a deal. Starter of lentil soup was delivered cold and had to be reheated up. The mezze dishes were hummus, aubergine dip,salad,...

Got a very good deal at the venue through the use of groupon, however after such a fantastic experience, amazing food and service and looking at the prices... We will definitely be returning. Not something i would usually go for and try but the food...

I needed a last minute venue to meet up with my Bestie after work that was reasonably priced in West End. This restaurant had a wowcher deal, so I reserved a table and then purchased the wowcher. We were not disappointed for the price we...

Friendly service, good variety of dishes, the taste of food, great ambience.... To top it all, at a reasonable price... What more can u ask for? Would recommend without hesitation.

The only sounds to be heard at our table were umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm. Delicious food, reasonably priced with friendly and attentive staff. Looking forward to a return visit very soon.

We cancelled our dinner plans as the restaurant we booked seemed too full when we arrived, we stumbled upon Sababa and were not disappointed. The food was beautiful and full of flavour, cocktails were really nice & the waiters were very friendly. The only downside...

Just happened to walk past this little restaurant and decided to try it. Prices very reasonable and the food was great. Would definitely go back next time I'm in London.

Enjoyed all the different courses. We had purchased an offer off Groupon and decided to give it a try. We had multiple starters, a plate full of entrees and some Baklava to top it off (best I’ve ever tasted). Highly recommend. Plus...in a great location.

We visited this restaurant on Friday night after work 7pm No sure what to expect as the wowcher promised lots and was only £19 for 2 people Nice and clean and the food was tasty and plentiful and it was BYO what a bonus The...

Took my father here for a birthday lunch was very impressed the food was amazing and the service was great the waiter was lovely.

Came across this place while wandering around and ended up having a lovely lunch. Food was fresh and very tasty plus great value so will visit again next time I’m around there. The man serving us was very personable too and lovely to my son....

Purely by chance did I end up going for lunch here. It had only been open a couple of months and as I walked passed the fresh Middle Eastern salads caught my eye through the window. I love a kebab and Sababa have a straight...
