Sabra Kosher Bakery & Restaurant Ltd — Restaurant in Vancouver

Buyers beware!! This place rips off its customers! I went in for a falafel, which I had in pita, then put into a bag. The server behind the counter asked me if I wanted to eat in or take away. I said eat in. I was then shown to a table. She then walked 5 feet and hand me the falafel. When I went to pay, she told me they were charging an additional 15% because I "dined in". And then asked if I was ok with that. I said I was absolutely not ok with that! Firstly, having someone walk around a counter 5 feet to a table with a falafel in a bag and then charge for 'dine in' is ridiculous. Secondly, isn't a service fee normally optional? Why should one person sitting at a deserted restaurant taking no longer than 5 minutes to eat a falafel in a bag be given no choice in adding a gratuity to a bill? And thirdly, perhaps most importantly, how about telling the customer up front that if you choose to dine in you will be automatically charged a service fee!! So she tells me that they won't charge me again (but proceeds to add it in anyway). Next time?? There is no next time! Note to owner: ripping people off like this is what gives...

I wouldn’t eat here every day, as I am mostly interested in the falafel in pita that they make here. Once a month or so I have a hankering for one. Shimon’s falafels are excellent because they seem more baked than deep fried. I’m not sure about that. I just know that they aren’t oily. He’s from Israel and was trained there by the way. I haven’t had a falafel this good even in Israel, and I have lived there for years. It’s the selection of sauces that make their falafels so good. Point at what you want, and they will put four or so different sauces into your pita. Ok, the last time I was there, the new lady behind the counter was not generous with the amount of sauces she put in the pita. Hopefully they will correct that. I’m giving this place 5/5 for old time’s sake. Either you’ll love it and turn into a fan of falafels or it won’t end up being your kind of food. As for...

I made a big mistake to come here for a chicken shawarma. For $18.50 it was the smallest portion I’ve ever been given in a restaurant. It wasn’t even shawarma favored or cooked in shawarma fashion. It was just diced chicken I could have made at home. They limit the toppings so you can’t even try the veggies they offer and don’t offer hot sauce. Worst food I’ve bought in a long time. The girl behind the counter was nice, so I gave 2/5 for service. But the man behind the counter didn’t smile and gave off a bad vibe. There are more options right don’t the street, so if you’re hungry, just go a little bit further. Terrible value, I...
