Saba Restaurant 3900 Pickett Road, Fairfax, VA 22031

"So good! The saltah and sambusas were my favorites. The shai and moroccan tea are also delicious. Service was phenomenal - they explained the significance of all the food’s to us."

"Just happened to visit this establishment after an almost 2 year long hiatus, bringing a friend along for the experience. We were quite satisfied with the experience - good food, large portions, and friendly staff! The two dishes we ordered were lamb kabsa and fish qulaba, and both of them were quite good. The lamb was nice and tender while the fish had good flavor and went well with the bread we were provided. All in all, I shall be returning!"

"Saba serves traditional Yemeni food. It was very tasty, 10/10. We ordered the Lamb Mandi, Chicken Kabse, and the Qullaba. The Qullaba was incredible. The meat was very tender and it was spiced perfectly. The Mandi and Kabse were great. They were generous with the chicken and lamb and it was cooked well. Will definitely come back. Prices were good, average of $16-18 per dish."

"This place is superb. The bread and hummus alone make it worth a trip. All of the portions are very large. The teas are all delicious. Fattoush salad is great. The rice and meat dishes are all cooked to perfection and have so much flavor. The vegetarian dishes are large and filling with lots of flavor. The service is superb, they go out of their way to make sure you get what you need. It definitely boosts their rating. Unfortunately it may be difficult to get breakfast items at night, so it would be a good idea to visit in the morning and see what that is like."

"This was by far the greatest restaurant experience to me in the US. Once we entered the restaurant, I felt a sense of warmth. Great food scents filled the air. There was a variety of tables for different number of individuals. The decorations were also pretty and gave off late night vibes of Arab streets specifically in Ramadan. The food was all great. We ordered the two most popular dishes, Haneeth and Fahsa. They were both so good. The Fahsa was served in a clay bowl and it was so fresh as it was boiling. I admired the scent of the burned hot clay bowl and the just out of the oven Fahsa. The Haneeth was also pretty good. The portion was relatively large. As 6 people, we ordered 4 dishes only. The meat was so tasty and rich in flavor. I loved the rice, the flavors of the lamb was all over it. Lastly, the fries onions on top only added to the flavor. There was also a bowl of lamb soup served for each individual and traditional sauces, both spicy and not as well as traditional bread along with each order.Then, we ordered Maasoub and a tea pot for dessert. The Maasoub was okay but it may be improved through the addition of more banana and honey. The tea was the best I have tasted in a while. The blended flavor of the mint and the perfect color of the tea all led to the greatest end of this meal. They also had fresh mango juice which was pretty tasty as well. The service was great, the waiters were so welcoming and helpful. We were able to interact with individuals from different Arab backgrounds and engage in intriguing conversations which adds to the warmth of the atmosphere. The waiters were always checking on us to make sure we were all set and their words were also kind and welcoming. Overall, the experience was great, I totally enjoyed dining there and will definitely be coming back for my after graduation dinner later in June. Thank you to the staff, appreciate your efforts making this a great experience."
