Sababa — Restaurant in Munich

I've had falafel all over the world, especially in its natural habitat of Arabia, so I know a dud place when I eat at one. Just a month ago, I had awful falafel in Rome by a guy who otherwise made good kebab.

This, however, is definitely the real deal. At the time I visited, the place was run by a Syrian and an Egyptian who were extremely welcoming, kind and warm to me and my family (including very young children). It's a place with a simple yet charming vibe. Most importantly, though, the falafel was crisp, the pita bread was exceptionally soft and warm, and the Arab style pickle was some of the best I've ever had without any exaggeration. It's not the biggest sandwich, but for €6 you really can't complain.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sababa, and will definitely visit them next time...

Located just a short walk from the busy and often pricey Marienplatz, Sababa was a pleasant surprise. In an area where Halal food options are quite limited, this spot stands out for both its authenticity and affordability.

The staff were fast, efficient, and professional—service was smooth even during peak hours. I tried the shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious—flavorful with a distinct Arabic and Turkish influence. After a long city walk, paired with midday hunger, the meal felt even more satisfying.

Prices here are quite reasonable compared to other nearby food places, which makes it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for quality Halal food near the city center.

Definitely worth...

Vegetarian and Vegan friendly. Not very child friendly. ONLY CASH payment.

This is a small Lebanese outlet at the edge of the Viktualienmarkt in Munich. I went here as per a friend's recommendation and I should say I was thrilled.

One of the best Hummus and Falafel you can find in town. The vegetarian platter was perfect. I liked every item my tongue came in contact with in the platter.

The place is very economical but do not expect fine dining here. It is quite small and crowded. Crowded in a way is good because the food is great. I would recommend it if you want a quick bite to tame your hunger while you are downtown. Do note that they close early and are not open...
