Person who took our order behind the counter was super nice. Let us know that they had a November promo that we would get a free drink with purchase of a hummus bowl. Free drink was not limited to just a can of pop, it was any drink in their fridge. While we were waiting for our hummus, we were offered also falafel samples. My son devoured his so fast. The person behind the counter heard my son loved the falafel and threw a couple more in our take out order. Also love that they're more on the eco friendly front, utensils are the wooden kind, and the containers are paper (i think recyclable or compostable), not styrofoam or the black plastic containers. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu! Hubby thought the hummus was a bit on the loose/watery side. But both my son and I loved how it tasted.

If I could afford it I would buy food here for every meal and freeze some. A number of his foods can be frozen if you wrap them in wax paper first and then into a freezer bag. The wax paper prevents moisture loss. Nathan will even make food for you at your request if you have bought them before. He makes fantastic stuffed chicken breasts but he likes working with thighs better as he says the dark meat is moisture and more flavourful. He has made foods for us on request and he says he does catering as well. If we were younger and able to host dinner parties after COVID 19 he would be the first place I would check out a menu from as he tries to look after what you want from his selection of dishes. He could easily open and run a restaurant with the foods he is serving here.

Sababa in Thornhill doesn't chase trends--it outlives them. I've been eating here for 30 years,…read morewhich in restaurant time is basically surviving a war, and Sababa is still standing, still feeding people the way it always has: honest, soulful Middle Eastern food that shows up every day and does the job right. This is the kind of place where the menu hasn't been "reimagined," because it never needed to be. The chicken skewers dinner is a personal staple--charred just enough, juicy where it counts, seasoned with the confidence. The shawarma is famous for a reason: shaved hot, spiced deep, and piled without apology. You start with the dip platter because that's what you do here--hummus, tahini, baba ghanoush--the opening handshake before the real conversation begins. Attached to the restaurant is a grocery store that feels like a lifeline--shelves of hard-to-find ingredients, spices, and staples that remind you food isn't just something you order, it's something you live with. There's also a takeout counter with a few tables, perfect for quick eats that turn into longer stays because the food demands your attention. Sam Azar founded the place, and the legend goes deeper than the menu--he even made their lentil soup recipe public, giving it away to the newspapers like a gift, not a secret. That generosity still hangs in the air. Today, his children carry the torch, and you can feel the continuity: same spirit, same standards, same refusal to mess with something that works. Sababa isn't flashy. It's better than that. It's dependable, rooted, and quietly excellent--the kind of restaurant you measure your life around, not your Instagram feed. Find calm fam atmosphere, not TikTok madness with a side of chaos. CHEERS!!!

The dining hall was closed, so I ordered food from their next-door Sababa Mid-Eastern Groceries store's to-go counter at the back. First item that caught my eye was their steak liver pita. I also ordered a bowl of their famous lentil soup and grabbed a bottle of Efsane Uludağ Gazozu. The liver was as I would hope, rich iron-y flavor with fresh lettuce and tomato salad with a dash of chili flakes. I pretty much inhaled it, as I was famished. However, it was the lentil soup that made me take pause. I have made lentil soup at home in the past with meh results, but tasting this rendition's unassuming, yet thoroughly satisfying flavor and filling consistency made me want to try again. Lastly, the uludağ rounded out everything nicely, a slightly different crispness to it that took me by surprise. A humble feast was had.

Baghali Polo & Mahicheh Braised lamb shank in our special sauce, serving with basmati rice mixed with fava beans & dill. Everything was super delicious. The kebobs were nice and juicy and flavourful. The beef tenderloin was somewhat over cooked, but ell the other kebobs were cooked perfectly. I'm a sucker for Persian stews. The Gheymeh and the sabzi were both amazing. The lamb shank was also amazing with lots of nice spices. The roast eggplant was delicious.

It is a large place and the bread is baked on the premises. The bread alone makes this a 4 Star. In the morning it is tantalizing fresh, and has a great 'hot bread aroma'. When this is combined with the double cream bulgarian feta that they sell for less than about $ 6.00/lbs., and few olives you have the making of a great breakfast. On one of their promotions they gave away pergamot preserve. This is the fruit that is used to flavour Earl Grey Tea, and it is delicious. I have become a fan, and its great over plain yogurt or ice cream. An interesting and varied place with fantastic Persian Bread.

The plate had a good variety of meats and no BS (unlike some other restaurants that throw fries on the plate and call it 'delicacy'). They also didn't dip everything into lamb oil to "enhance" the flavour - you could actually taste the meat itself. The beef was soft, the chicken was juicy, and the lamb was tender. They also offered free naan and dipping sauce, which was very nice. For dessert, we had baklava, $4 for a small piece, but we had no complaint considering the free appetizer earlier.

We ordered "Mix Appetizers" to share, which was served with freshly baked Turkish bread. Spicy Mash had a bit of a kick, but not too spicy, which we enjoyed. Baba Ganoush, Haydari and Hummus were fresh and tasty. For main, we ordered "Efendi Lamb Chops", "Efendi Meat Shish Kebab", "Beyti Kebab", "Sac Tava" and "Spinach and Cheese Pide". Efendi Lamb Chops And Efendi Meat Shish Kebab were served on a hot sizzling plate which was really fun to watch and they were the most tender, juicy and flavourful ones we have ever had. Pide was fresh and the cheese was very tasty. Beyti Kebab had a bit of a kick to it which we really loved; we also enjoyed the combination of yogurt and Spicy Mash; it was a great combination with the veal wraps. Sac Tava was a great combination of cubed beed, green peppers and spices. We loved every bite of our food. We ended on a sweet note with freshly made "Kunefe" and of course Turkish coffee. Kunefe was very delicious and right amount of sweetness. Turkish coffee was served in beautiful cups and we enjoyed both.

I finally got to try Me Va Me…read more It was recommended that I try the Chicken Shawarma Laffa Wrap. I've had laffa before so I didn't even hesitate. The best way to explain the laffa wrap is like a thinner naan bread. It's huge and baked almost the same way naan is made. They have the ovens right out front so you can watch your wrap being made from scratch. First observation is the wrap is HUGE! It's a solid lunch that will most likely make you skip dinner. There are plenty of toppings to choose from. I chose hummus, tahini, garlic sauce , lettuce, tomato, red cabbage slaw, and pickles. I also added a splash of hot sauce which was a nice kick and gave a slightly smoky flavour. (Toppings I omitted are Tzatziki, mango sauce, onions and pickled hot peppers) The chicken was flavoured and cooked perfectly and shredded nicely so that it's spread evenly across the wrap. Here's a tip ask them to cut it in half before they wrap it in the foil. It will make it way easier to eat. Make sure you have lots of napkins with this one! I will definitely return to try some of the other menu items but I would definitely get the laffa wrap again!
