Sababa of Soho is a casual Middle Eastern restaurant at 49 Newman Street in Fitzrovia. The name Sababa is a widely used expression of approval in both Arabic and Hebrew, matching the restaurant's energetic and informal approach. Diners can settle in for a meal or use the quick takeaway format for lunch and dinner around the West End.
Street food boxes bring together grilled or slow cooked protein, salads, spiced potatoes, rice, pickles and dips in one convenient meal. Choices include chicken skewers, lamb kofta, pulled lamb shawarma, mixed meat, sea bass and prawns. Falafel, halloumi and a fully plant based Levantine combination ensure that vegetarian and vegan diners receive the same breadth of flavour.
Hot and cold mezze make the menu easy to share. Hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, fattoush and tzatziki sit alongside falafel, lamb kibbeh, spicy potatoes, aubergine moussaka and filled borek pastries. Pita bread, tahini, garlic sauce, chilli and fresh herbs connect the plates and allow a table to build a varied meal from smaller portions.
Wraps and filled buns provide a compact alternative, while fresh juices and soft drinks balance the grilled meats and spice. Baklava, knafeh and filled katayef bring nuts, cream, cheese and syrup into traditional sweet finishes. Sababa combines Lebanese, Syrian and wider Mediterranean ideas with a practical format suited to a fast lunch, generous takeaway or relaxed shared dinner.
