Get here. This is the type of place I love to find while traveling. Super close to my hotel and right in the market area, it's a great + easy location. The service was top notch. Both people working were welcoming and friendly. And they even were patient with my awful attempts at speaking German. One person spoke English and was very helpful. The sandwich was super easy to take away and keep walking - which is what I love when I'm on the go exploring a new city - but the little tables outside would have worked well too on this beautiful(!) Munich day. I got the shawarma sandwich and it was AMAZING! Under €6 and substantially filling for a quick lunch. They put the meat and hummus in the perfect little pocket and let you add whatever veggies you want. Helpful, easy, and quick. They even do one with mixed falafel & shawarma. Definitely try this place out for welcoming atmosphere, delicious food & no hassle. Highly recommend! read more

Sababa - Shawarma sandwich was delicious (and super easy to take on the go)! And they let you add all your own veggies. - Oriental Near Me - Munich, BY

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Spoke great English (thank you) and it was really fun eating and people watching, even with a little rain :) great place to rest feet and recharge. read more

The falafel sandwich here is the best! Unlike some of the dry falafels I have had elsewhere, the falafel here was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The falafel sandwich was served with hummus, harissa, and veggies. One was quite filling. I also tried the shawarma salad plate. I didn't like that turkey was the only option for meat here (1 star off), but liked all the other things (hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, red cabbage, sauerkraut, mango curry sauce, pickles, olives, etc.) that composed the plate. The plate was filled to the max. Note: Cash only. read more

5 out of 5 stars for Sababa, we were shopping in Munich & looking for something to eat. We went to a market nearby and came across Sababa. The portions were great and the prices were reasonable. The staff were very friendly. There were only a few tables and we were lucky enough to find a table. I would highly recommend Sababa read more

It may be the five hours of walking, but this is the most delicious falafel pita I've had in my life. Ordered the falafel pita everything but no onion or spicy. read more

This is a cute, compact takeaway spot in an open air market in Munich. While my husband was off finding something porky to eat, I was craving a portable sandwich to eat while walking around the city. Sababa had promising reviews so I checked it out. The restaurant was busy but the line went quickly. The staff was polite and put up with my utter lack of German skills. I got the halloumi and falafel combo pita. The falafel was a bit dense but the halloumi was nicely chewy. It's not something that's normally available at Middle Eastern places back home so I'm glad I got it. There was lots of pickles, turnips, hot sauce and all the other fixings that makes for a delicious and messy pita. read more

Sababa - Halloumi and falafel pita. Yummy! - Oriental Near Me - Munich, BY

Got a sharwma platter and a veggie platter as we didn't quite know what we were ordering but it was all delicious. It had a bit of this and a bit of that and way too much food for only $11.90 Euro each platter. Comes with a side of pita bread. Your right at the viktualienmarkt. read more

One of the highlights of Munich is a visit to the Viktualienmarkt. This is Munich's largest and most famous outdoor market place. A highlight is to sit on one of the many picnic tables enjoying a large beer in the shade of the large trees. In addition to the many food stands there are restaurants located all around the market. If, however, you have gotten a bit tired of the heavy Bavarian meals, you can try a Greek/Middle Eastern lunch at a small restaurant at the back of the Viktualienmarket. It is a super bargain for excellent Greek food. For ~10Euros you can get a mixed plate of meats or vegetarian dishes. The shawarma sandwiches also a great selection. Seating is limited but the tables turn-over quite quickly. Overall, an excellent choice when you are visiting Munich. read more

This reflects my opinion as tourist : Cash only . Nothing special . Only chicken and falafel . Small portion compare to American portions . They do not speak english with tourist . Over all not bad . Over all 7 out of 10 . read more

Wow. They hooked up the protein (plenty of meat and fried chickpea) Has to be the best deal in this area of town. I ordered the "Shawafel" (half Falafel and half Shawarma) and it was very good. The falafel significantly better than the shawarma (which was a bit dry) - but the value didn't prevent me from rating 5 stars (for less than €5). Awesome place for cheap eats in Munich. read more

Was a bit hard to find this place but it was highly worth it. Delicious Middle eastern food. Some of the best I have had. Had the "Salatteller Schawarma" while one of the others had a falafel sandwich and the other had another sandwich. The former was excellent. A lot of food and all of the side dishes were quite good. There really wasn't a bad piece of food on there and it was a very large selection. I tried the falafel from someone else and it was excellent. People here were nice. They spoke enough English to make things easy enough. The place sold Tamek which worked for a drink. I personally had a Sambusak afterwards which was a nice little bite. Good meat inside. Really good. 4.7 read more

Located in the back of Viktualienmarkt this is a fabulous Middle Eastern and Oriental cuisine shop. It's quite a small shop with a handful of tables under the canopy and a couple of tables outside. The menu is not very big but the choice of vegetarian plenty. Their specialty is felafel and I have to tell you it's amazing. Freshly made and tastes heavenly. I had the felafel salatteller which came with salad, pickled vegetables, baba ganoush, hummos, harissa (hot sauce), felafel and some fresh pita bread. The flavour was amazing sweet, salty, creamy, spicy and pungent all in one plate. The falafel was excellent and I loved the pickles vegetables. For under €8 it was a great value meal that tasted fabulous. I will definitely come here again and try other stuff on the menu. A great inexpensive lunch option in town :-) read more

Really you just need to walk up to the counter and see the quality. Very clean place, wholesome food and the falafels are good, really good. They give you a fresh pita with home made humus and the falafels (Crispy outside, prefect center and not fatty tasting) then your own toppings bar, awesome!! So if you want the best falafel sandwich in town, head here. It's good. Really Good! read more

I have never been a huge fan of falafels and schawarma but I liked Sababa! The quality is excellent and for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find something better around Vikulienmarkt. My cousin and I shared the turkey plate, added a falafel and had a drink for less than 15 bucks. It was a great deal. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful to those of us that don't speak German. They kindly laughed as I took pictures of my food and kept asking how I liked it. I don't know how people could pack so much food into the pita bread like pockets, but everything in the toppings bar was delicious. read more

Clean and delicious food at an affordable price, what to ask more in a food market?! I loved the falafel (50 cents each) served also in a sandwich or on a plate with various veggies. I went for the chicken shawarma sandwich that was mostly a chicken Kebab with a lot of cumin spice and a dash of hummus in a pita bread. What I really like is that you get to put the toppings of your sandwich by yourself as the sauces too. A really nice touch. Owner of the place is friendly and does really good. I understand the good reviews and I do also recommend that the place for a quick lunch. read more

My favourite Falafel in town. Pricing is very reasonable for it being in the city-center. And oh boy, the food is just delicious and finger-licking good. This is definitely a must-eat place if you are in the area and in need of some oriental fast-food. Salads and ingredients are all fresh and the family-owned place does indeed has a oriental feel to. There are some standup tables and normal tables outside. While weather is bad, the tables are placed under a tent-like structure, so you won't have to enjoy your food in the rain. Definitely a thumbs up and a warm recommendation from me! read more

Very yummy! I had falafel in a pita and it was delicious. I loved that you could add on free topics from their toppings bar. The falafel was crip and full of flavor. Their home-made hummus is the bomb. I am only taking off 1 star since the place was really hard to find - they really should put up a sign or something. read more

Just go...the best falafel plate I ever had! Right at the end of the market so you get to walk through and see all the other stands that merchants have to offer!!!! Yum! read more

Even after having been gone for many years, Sababa still stands as one of my 3 favorite restaurants in Munich. The guys that run the place are incredibly friendly, they make everything fresh and the prices beyond affordable. read more

Oh my goodness! Some of the best falafel I've ever had. I got here around 12 and we had to wait about 15 minutes in line to be served. I got the mixteller or mix plate since I wanted a taste of both their turkey shawarma(the only meat they serve) and the falafel. The plate comes with loads of salad , pickles and sauces. You're also able to add more if you want! Yum!!!! The free pita that came with the plate was so nice and fluffy. Next time I'm coming back to try the pita wraps! They seemed to be a very popular option. read more

Hi, Excellent eats in Munich, right next to the Farmers Market. My man and I both got the Turkey Schwarma. It came with tasty humus and a delicious salad, plus a nice soft pita bread. We used our cell phone for directions which did not work well. Very confusing location, but worth the effort to find. read more

Why can't they have places like this where I live?! The falafel sandwiches here are so good. I love simple deliciousness. In fact, I believe sometimes the fewer ingredients the better, so when I was handed a hot pita filled with falafel fried to perfection with a swoosh of hummus, my stomach growled with excitement. Before doctoring it up, the sandwich was already perfect. Three such well made components that I appreciated so much: taking out the time to make freshly toasted pita, 4 crispy and flavorful falafels and creamy and savory hummus! That certainly would have been enough for me, but I added some creamy dressing, spicy sauce and tomatoes and cucumbers. Everything was so great and we even returned here the day before leaving Munich for an repeat performance. The service is friendly and I cannot say how much I appreciate the attention to detail they take here--not only to make sure you're getting a sandwich that is quality, but chatting with you and asking how you like the food. We didn't get much interaction service-wise in Munich, so this was definitely appreciated. read more

Couldn't decide what to order, but eventually decided on the hawafel (with the help of the manager), which is a pita with halloumi and falafel. I made the right choice - both the halloumi and falafel were perfectly fried, leaving a crispy texture without a dry interior. You get to put your own toppings of veggies and sauces on the pita, which were all good. The red sauce is perfect, especially if you like spice. Definitely worth the visit while walking around Viktualienmarkt. read more

Yummmmmmmmmm!! This was my second time at Sababa, and I have to say I was not disappointed. The first time I went I had the falafel teller, but this time I tried the shwarma teller. Both plates were really, REALLY tasty. Sababa is a hidden gem, that a lot of people seem to know about - because it is pretty much always packed during lunch time. The prices are decent, and the portions are lean towards the large side - therefore it is a pretty good deal for the Viktualienmarkt. Although I don't remember what the falafel plate cost, the schwarma plate cost 7.90. The plate came with hummus, baba ganoush, salad, various pickled items, delicious pita bread, and a very large portion of the schwarma meat. I know some people may think that shwarma meat can look like the indistinguishable parts of the animal. However, this shwarma consisted of large chunks of turkey breast - no mystery meat on this plate! ;) I would recommend this place to anyone. In fact, everyone should go check this place out. Enjoy :). read more

I have gone to Sababa a few times. Each time, I have left with a full stomach at a minimal cost - The cost is typically around 15 euro for 2, not bad! The Chicken Schwarma is out of this world. You can "build your own" pita by picking ingredients to go inside - there are no off the shelf options here. The only drawback to Sababa? Its next to impossible to find a seat during peak hours! read more

Amazing food specially the Falafel was delicious. I normally never like Falafel but this is definitely the first place I ever liked it and that actually will have it again. Even the humus is authentic and freshly made. Only problem is that the place is too small to sit and one can easily miss it. We went in October and was a bit chilly inside, however the taste makes up for it. Must try! read more

Absolutely amazing! The portions are huge, the price is reasonable, and the food is delicious! The pita bread is some of the best pita I've ever had. I had the mixed vegetarian platter and it was awesome! So plentiful. The owner is super friendly and was their to help my Mom and I find a seat (she has mobility issues). This isn't a big place. It's located in the Viktualienmarkt, right on the edge. There's very limited seating space and it's mostly outdoors. Go here!! read more

Sababa - Vegetarian Platter (Vegan friendly!) Excellent pita bread as well! - Oriental Near Me - Munich, BY

Excellent falafel and shawarma. The toppings are fresh and delicious. I suggest the green cabbage slaw, hot sauce, tomatoes and pickles to top the shawafel with hummus. Quick, inexpensive and a great location with lots of wonderful shops nearby. read more

Sadly these yelpers have never had good Mediterranean food. I ate 25% of my mixed plate, which were the little salad things. The hummus is very tasteless, the baba ganoush was bland, didn't even taste like eggplant or that it was roasted. The turkey or chicken or whatever that was, was tough and very dry. The pita was good, hot and fluffy. Large portion at a decent price but that did not overcome how bad the food was. 1.5 stars. read more

Munich's best falafel! Prepared fresh, none of that pre-made-then-microwaved business. Bread is thin like a pita, just the way I like it. A toppings bar allows you to pick what you want, and the friendly staff makes sure you don't skimp on the delicious sauce. I try to go here whenever I am at Viktualienmarkt. I grew up eating Lebanese cuisine and can't find anything to dislike about this place. read more

Really good food! Would highly recommend for vegetarian and vegan options in Munich. Delicious falafels!

If you are in Munich, you HAVE to visit this little restaurant. My husband and I went three different times while we were in Munich for 5 days because it is that delicious. I STILL think about the falafel now that I'm back in the states. The employees were all so nice and welcoming. The food is consistently delicious and the pita is mind blowing, it will seriously ruin you from all other pitas for forever. All toppings are self-serve which is really not very because you get to customize your own meal. Seriously, stop what you're doing right now and go get some falafel. read more

If I was going on the food alone, I'd say 4 stars for the falafel sandwich - good but not worthy of five stars. That said, by far the best falafel I've had in Munich and I eat here at least once a month. Before coming here, I did not know that one could put falafel patties on a bun with some sort of tzatziki and call that a falafel. I wish I could un-know that. Thanks to Sababa, I get my fix of middle eastern falafel, hummous, tahini, and - for some German flair - two types of kraut are available to you as well. The owners are so nice, and usually give my baby girl a free falafel patty while we wait, which she gobbles up. So, for it's singularity and wonderful service, Sababa gets an enthusiastic 5 stars from me. read more

I read a recent favorable review of this place on here and decided I needed to try it out! I'm no expert on middle-eastern food though I have had my share of falafel, hummus and baba ghanouj. The falafel sandwich I had the other day was great though. My friends (one of whom has middle-east roots and more cred than me for this kind of food) probably made the better choice though with the falafel platter, which has everything a falafel sandwich has and then some. Still, the falafel sandwich is a good deal. You get to fill it with greens yourself, by the way, which felt odd but not a bad thing. I will seek this place out again when at Viktualienmarkt and hungry. (It's a tad hard to find but it's near the Lebkuchen store, located on the back side of a row of fish stands, next to a small bakery.) read more

This is a tiny stand at Viktualianmarkt with really good, fresh Mediterranean food. They have great mezze platters- with hummus and other different spreads, falafel, fried haloumi, meats and salad stuff. Great place to go for something fresh and different from the other stands around VIktualianmarkt! read more

The best falafel I have eaten... I lived in the Middle East for 15 years and always wondered if anything would come close to the food like shawarma or falafel and hands down this is the place... closes early but one of the best falafel sandwich I have eaten... if a chance eat there read more

Yum! This is a great spot for lunch. I had the falafel in a pita and it was delish. I love that you can add your own toppings from their little salad bar. The price was right (€3,90), there were plenty of free tables under an awning and the service was fast, so it was the perfect place for a quick lunch. Next time, I will get one of the appetizer plates, so I can try more of their food. I will definitely be back again and again! read more

This place is great! Super cheap with friendly staff and definitely beats going to a döner shop. Vegan friendly options also available

One of best meal in 4 day trip to Munchen. We took veggie and chicken platters - Fresh and yummy, Hearty portions. Not much of seating area but dont let it stop you. We picked up our food and sat near by public places, many folks were doing the same thing. read more
