What is Worth Choosing

For New Jersey locals visiting Sababa Grill, the real value is found in the combination of authentic flavor, quality ingredients, and the restaurant’s commitment to its specialized offerings.

You should start with one of the main courses that define the authentic Israeli-Middle Eastern experience. The Schawarma is a signature dish, perfectly seasoned and fire-roasted, and can be enjoyed as an entrée or in a fresh laffa sandwich. Similarly, the Schnitzel—crispy, tender, and always satisfying—is a classic choice that appeals to all ages. For those looking for something a bit more robust, the Lamb Shishlik is a highly praised item, known for its superb flavor and quality, and the Ground Beef Kebab offers a rich, savory alternative.

Beyond the main meats, the restaurant's commitment to quality side dishes and appetizers is truly what sets it apart. Ordering one of the Sandwiches—perhaps the Schawafel (a combo of schawarma and falafel) or the Danny’s Special (schawarma with fried onion, jalapeño, hummus, and Israeli salad)—is an excellent choice for a quick and filling lunch. Be sure to explore the wide variety of Salatim, which are fresh, homemade, and ideal for mixing and matching to accompany your main dish. The Stuffed Grape Leaves are a particular highlight, known for being delicious and difficult to find under reliable kosher certification in the area.

Finally, for those who observe, the specialty Weekend Takeout (Shabbat Menu) is a service that is worth choosing, offering a curated selection of ready-to-eat deli-style mains like Oyster Steak, Moroccan Salmon, and various slow-cooked dishes like Chulent. This service saves time on Friday afternoons and ensures a high-quality, authentic meal for the entire weekend, reflecting Sababa Grill's role as a true community resource in Teaneck, NJ.
