Sababa - Gainesville

Five stars, and if I could, I would give them even more! I absolutely loved dining at this humble hidden gem in Gainesville. The Israeli and Palestinian menu looked fantastic, and the falafel I tried was incredibly delicious. You absolutely must try their vegan sandwich when you visit—it's outstanding! As someone of Arabic descent, I can confidently say that everyone should experience this place. Great prices and wonderful service make it even better!

I absolutely love Sababa and have been coming here since my sophomore year. The staff is friendly and the food is fantastic! It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Gainesville!

The Israeli food was excellent. The hummus was particularly impressive. The pearl barley dish was also very good, although I found the texture a bit too firm for my liking. Overall, we will definitely return!

I really like the vegan shawarma. the only reason I give him a 4 star is because I think it's a little expensive. unless they have added pommes or something at the same price. in any case. shalom!

I really like the chicken shawarma here, well seasoned and not dry. Falafels aren't bad either. The only thing is that their hummus and tahini comes with an oddly bitter aftertaste. Their dinner entrees come with a good proportion balance of main to sides. I feel like I can get a relatively healthy meal. Prices are reasonable and service is fast.
