Sababa West in Kinkerbuurt

Worst service, overpriced hipster food. Worst food poisoning I ever had after eating there. So I went back to tell them, the only thing they said was we haven’t gotten any other complains. She did not even stop a min to give me attention and listen properly. They did not even offer to refund me or give me complimentary drink. Not that I would ever eat there again. Very service driven behavior!!! NOT TO RECOMMEND AT ALL.

I ordered pita chicken shawarma 13,5€ Look good But not tasty Chicken taste a bit weird A lot of mayo and oily Lady waitress was nice, But tables are dirty

Tourist, come here! Nutritious and fresh food. Good prices and a quiet location, perfect for taking a break.

Best vegan shawarma and hummus I’ve ever had. The vegan mayo is also incredibly tasty. Small, cozy spot with dine-in, takeaway, and delivery options. Friendly staff and fair prices. Two small tables inside, four outside, and relaxed ambient music playing indoors.

The food is unfortunately very inconsistent. We returned our food because the pita bread was only half full, as was the falafel salad bowl. Furthermore, the hummus or dressing (?) in the bowl was very bland and watery, and contained an overload of pickled onions, with the other ingredients almost completely missing. The pita lacked egg and was only partially filled. It was a waste of money.

Organic chicken pita is highly recommended! 🙏 and the fritz-limo lemon

Delicious food. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options too. Fantastic.

Great food and amazing service! Higly recommended

Ordered here, pita was soggy from the large amount of frying oil. Also our request not to add yoghurt somewhere because of lactose intolerance was ignored.

Sandwaich - spicy chicken Is an inspiring combo! Pomegranate seeds mix with yogurt, parsley.ᐟ.ᐟ The kip is tender and not dry at all with good marinated blend

Delicious pitas and sides dishes, tasty, filling and with a good variety of flavours. The shop in West is in a very cute square where you can sit to have a bite. Many soft drinks options and friendly staff. Absolutely recommended for a snack or easy dinner!

Came for the hummus, stayed because my taste buds threw a party and refused to leave. Sababa? More like Saba-ba-ba-boom! Amazing ambiance, funny staff, good music, incredible food. If you don’t believe me, look at the smiles on our faces. Saludos from Perú

I can recommend the shawarma. Soft break and tender chicken. Friendly service and atmosphere 👌

I had eaten here before, but I didn't think it was good enough to write a review and too pricey to come back again. Now I tried it again due to an offer, and I'm really happy about that! I think I was unlucky last time with an overcooked hard pita and falafal. Now just right! Fluffy pita, crispy tasty falafal, and tasty sauce and cabbage. For the full price, I would still consider it pricey, because the pita is not very large and insufficient for a meal for me.

Very disappointed. Food was not nice at all and I found a hair in my pita shawarma. Wouldn’t recommend. Service was ok.

Ordered food and it was not delivered. Restaurant was not reachable. Thuisbezorgd was also not at home.

Restaurant has a chill, friendly vibe with nice music and cute decor. I have the sabich with halloumi and I’m always very happy when I eat it 🔥 the worker Lili has given excellent service every time I’ve visited. She’s hilarious with really cute hair 😍

Super amazing Taste. I would become vegan if this is all I ate. The restaurant seating area may be unusual, but quickly grows on you as homey. The Chef has a super chill vibe and the music taste is so good I had to Shazam every song and add it to my playlist. This Restaurant may be underrated since the prices are very very fair.

Very tasty food. Exactly as requested (I have some allergies) and all understanding. Definitely go again

Seems as though the staff only consists of 16 year olds that put minimal possible effort into the food. I can’t rely on this place

Nasty food, bland taste and cold and the fries were old and stale, I would choose another restaurant if I were you

I waited a long time for my Uber Eats order. I am a meal delivery person

Very tasty food and best service if you pick up. Lots of options and always fun and busy. Large menu and always friendly even if you call or have questions about the menu, very nice. Keep it up

Ordered via Uber, incorrectly delivered (missing sandwich). The solution was to place an order and then they could send the missing sandwich and extra. Then you lose a lot of money for nothing. Sandwich was also cold and poorly filled. The fries were even less and overpriced. Shame

Delicious pita wraps. I love the sababa classic (tasty falafel, and unique fillings), the sabich and the big sababa. All very good. Also the sweet potato fries are the perfect crisp with amazing options for dips. I particularly enjoy the yoghurt harissa dip 🤤

Delicious food and super friendly service. Something went wrong with my home delivery order completely outside the restaurant's control, but they resolved it perfectly even though they didn't even have to. Really great and I will definitely order more often because the food was really great!

Soooo delicious food and friendly staff! The Rocky Road is highly recommended

€13. 50 for a shawarma is ridiculous. Especially if it tastes like it was just drowned in some sort of cheap mayonnaise salad dressing. Amsterdam, the place where food goes to die.

Got mega small fries and the chicken shawarma sandwich is really dirty and the chicken is pink on the inside. No tasty food, all kind of fake tasty and then poorly done, very disappointed. First and last time

Tasty unique and healthy food and UberEats delivery was very quick.

Delicious falafel For me, the shawarma was OK

BEST MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD EVER! I've been ordering at Sababa now for two years, and it's still so freaking good. Love the big sababa and the halumni bitterballen!

Lovely food and friendly staff! Easily one of the best falafel pitas in town!

Lovely staff and food was fresh ❤️ loved the vibe. Will be ordering a sabich sandwich soon again

Neither authentic nor tasty Overpriced chicken shawrma

Great staff working there but unfortunately the owner couldn’t give a damn about them. Understaffed and walked in with her friends after closing and messed it up even more

it wasnt the best shawarma ive ever had an honestly it tasted more like a chicken sandwich rather than an authentic shawarma.. not bad but for 13.50 not great.. the chopped salad side was not nice at all and had pickles in it instead of just cucumber and tomato as it stated. i usually love pickles but it didnt work in this salad and i couldnt eat it. the hummus and pita was the best thing i ordered but how hard is it to make hummus and pita?

Picked up the chicken shawarma pita and the chicken was quite tasteless, fake middle eastern food. Paid too much for 1 sandwich. Stomach ache the next day…

Once really great. Few and so bad sweet potato fries several times now. Can't do this! Was a really loyal customer, I won't come again.

Delicious falafel and pita with chicken. Ordered with Uber Eats.

Food delivery is so inconsistent. You need to step up your training because the last 5 times I ordered I got 5 different Sababa classics. My experience ~ 1st time: wow this is good. 2nd time - this is not good I don’t understand. The falafel is so dry. I will complain. 3rd time - I’ll give them a 2nd chance. Falafel was dry again and It was not worth the price. 4th time - it’s been a couple months and they have a 4.9 rating on Uber eats I’ll try again. It was really good. 5th time - cold and so much less ingredients than before and dry falafel again. Totally not worth the price. The rating on Uber Eats is a SCAM. It’s so sad when the consistency is just not there. A restaurant’s job to is to ensure the product is the same every time you order it. This doesn’t have to do with delivery. It’s the quality and quantity of ingredients that were different every time. It’s obvious your training is not up to standard if you would send your customers sparsely made and dry pita falafels. I’m disappointed in your restaurant and Uber Eats. I wasn’t compensated so you’ll never see me as a customer of either again. Edit: I was compensated by Uber Eats and the restaurant after sharing this review with Uber Eats. So I changed this rating to 2 stars.

Super delicious food (Arabic). Not "just" Shawarma but really delicious. Sweet and good service

Very tasty pitas with tasty sauces and fillings; Much better than your standard falafel at the grill room on the corner. The only downside was the ambiance; sitting was a bit uncomfortable and it was quite cold (this was on a cold spring day)

Amazing place! Highly recommended. The pita is soft and fluffy. The sabich is juicy, greasy and has a lot of fresh veggies. The amba in it is amazing! Will definitely come back for the sabich, but I am also very curious to try out their falafel. Very friendly staff as well!

The pitas are super tasty, well filled and very tasty. Staff is also very nice and the food is brought to you. Atmosphere is also very nice.

Very friendly staff. It was fun to talk to Mark and the chicken shawarma was delicious

Ordered online, wrap came cold and destroyed, side fries didn’t arrive. Disappointed

Hands down the best sweet potato fries in town 🙌🏼

Loved Sababa so much that had to come back but this time at a different location. The food was still amazing and the girls still served us even tho we were a bit late and almost closing, that was very nice of them 🥰 PS: one of them apparently lost her phone, I really hope she could find it 🙏🏽

Heerlijke sabich, smaak explosie!

Super yummy vegetarian middle-eastern food! Food was amazing and the staff is super nice and welcoming! Definitely recommend a visit if you’re around and try the jackfruit shawarma.

Heel vettig eten… ik bestelde sabich en deze was koud en veel te vettig. De GROTE friet die ik had besteld was vervangen door een ontzettend kleine zoete aardappel friet die ontzettend slap en koud was. Dit had ik niet besteld! Belachelijk voor die prijzen ook. Ben zeer teleurgesteld na goede ervaringen bij Sababa de Pijp.

Het eten was echt super lekker en vers gemaakt. Goede prijskwaliteit verhouding. Personeel was vriendelijk, leuke sfeer. Echt een aanrader!

Boring, dull, overpriced for what you get. Better go to Ten Katemarkt and get a falafel there at the southern end.

Ik heb super lekker gegeten, het personeel is heel vriendelijk en zal er zeker nog een keer eten!

Erg lekker eten! En een gezellige sfeer

ғᴏᴏᴅ ɪs ᴅᴇʟɪᴄɪᴏᴜs ᴀɴᴅ sᴛᴀғғ ɪs ғʀɪᴇɴᴅʟʏ

Falafel was oké, niet super bijzonder. €6 vragen voor een ‘grote’ zoete aardappel friet, om vervolgens een kinderformaat zompige patat te serveren vind ik daarentegen wel bijzonder.

Zo ontzettend lekker. We hadden 2 verschillende pitas en de smaakpapillen hadden een feestje.

Excellent falafel options. Including pomegranate pits, which were really nicely matching. Had a standard Sababa falafel and a large deluxe version with haloumi. Both were very tasty and fresh. Recommended. The sweet potato fries were well done and crispy, bot too oily. The place was a bit empty and not very nice in terms of atmosphere. You have to order at the counter Also take away.

Overpriced, cold food + there is no such thing as “Israeli” food. Copied from Palestinian or Lebanese dishes.

Guess a dish is just as pleasant as the one who prepares it - in this case: The chef knows to value a hungry vegan hut curry in the shadows of the mountain peak in good company. Keep going! Hans

Amazing pitas! Fresh & delicious

Het eten is lekker als je het ter plekke op eet. Via de besteldienst staat er meestal 10-15 minuten. In de praktijk moet je rekenen op 60 minuten. Het eten komt dan geregeld koud aan. De bestellingen moet je goed controleren. Er klopt vaak geen fluit van. De smaak is goed. Medewerkers lijken analfabeet te zijn.

Heerlijk gegeten, leuk personeel en goede service

Today I've had a Sabih at Sababa West and it was just amazing! The only thing I would change is that instead of pomegranate I would put pickled red onions into it, but anyway it's definitely one of the best Sabih I've had in Amsterdam! I also have to mention the helpful and very kind service! Thanks for the experience :)

Heerlijk gegeten! De cheesy falafel is een aanrader! Wel vonden we de salade wat te klein en te weinig voor wat je ervoor betaald.

Hele lekkere pita’s gegeten en het personeel heeft ons goed geholpen! De rocky road als dessert is een echte aanrader. 🙌🏾

Great spot for middle eastern cuisine. Friendly stuff, good food

One of the best falafels I've ever tasted! Fresh ingredients, no tourists and good service!

Trato y comida perfectos, lugar tranquilo, muy recomendable. Mucha opción vegana y vegetariana. El personal es super agradable y habla español.

Heerlijke eten, met heerlijke en goed gevulde pita’s!

Mega lekker gegeten. Super goed betaalbaar ook! Snel weer heen.

Heerlijk gegeten en vriendelijk personeel!

Def try the shawarma pita! I will come back for this. Good price - quality value!

Heerlijk vers! Heb pita falafel, shawarma en sabich gegeten allemaal lekker!

Heerlijk gegeten! Vooral de salade met linzen en bloemkool is heerlijk!! 🥰❤️
