Sababa Falafel Shop
At the edge of Garden Grove and Anaheim, a Palestinian restaurant with must-try falafel and pitas
Located directly in front of Harvest Fresh Market at the border of Garden Grove and Anaheim, Palestinian-owned Sababa Falafel Shop serves the best falafel, ribeye steak, and chicken pitas we’ve ever tasted.
Each begins with a fluffy soft pita, continues with high-quality meat or falafels that would be great enough if eaten alone, then ends with your choice of toppings generously loaded into the sandwich. Limited only by the pita’s volume, you can choose unlimited add-ins, ranging from fantastic garlic and hummus spreads to fresh vegetables, lemons, and pickles. Excellent customer service begins with an offer to sample any ingredient that may be of interest, and continues throughout the assembly process.
While Sababa’s hibiscus lemonade and tea are also delicious, we didn’t think the desserts were as strong as the pitas: Fenugreek-based Hilba, peach cobbler, and chocolate cookies were all sort of grainy and forgettable. But they wouldn’t stop us from returning solely for the sandwiches, which we’ve been dreaming about since our first visit.
