Saba — Restaurant in Town of Poughkeepsie

First time visiting upon suggestion from a nearby retailer whose shop I had been in. Unfortunately, cannot speak to the food as I never got it! Placed an order for a Falafel Sandwich but paid $3 extra for the bowl option instead of the pita and ordered it to eat-in. I was given a number to take to the table of my choosing. Restaurant was not busy so couldn't understand why it was taking so long for my order of one single item... Counter person eventually (15 minutes later) brings out an to-go order bag and I remind her that I ordered to eat-in. She apologized and comes back with a completely incorrect order of something else in a pita, not a bowl. I remind her of my order and of the $3 extra paid for the bowl option and not the pita sandwich. Waited 10 minutes later and now walked up to the open counter to see nothing being prepared and advised them that it had been 25 minutes since I had placed my order and that I was no longer interested in waiting for or trying their food. Told them to keep the $17+ paid as they'll clearly need it more than I when they eventually go out of business but that I would NOT ever return and I WOULD tell anybody that I knew or who would listen to NOT go to this establishment. I then walked out and no effort was made to attempt to stop me and right the wrong. These people should not be in a hospitality industry. Advised the person who had suggested the place to me and here's my broadcast to the rest of...

Wow, wow, wow!!!! We ordered from Saba tonight and it did NOT disappoint! My husband, Greg, picked up hummus, which was THE.BEST. we've ever had; French fries, delicious, and shaped like a scoop to facilitate loading up on the delicious homemade sauce of your choosing; a chicken schnitzel pita sandwich, nice and spicy, like Greg likes (on the back end); and I had the kebab bowl. The addition of fresh cucumbers and fresh tomatoes was a great compliment to the rice and the delicious kebab. We wanted to order a few of their homemade pastries, but they were sold out! Wound up speaking with the owner, very nice gentleman, and he offered the two remaining pastries for us to try. One was the wild blueberry rugelach and it was fantastic! Not sure what the other pastry is, but it's crescent shaped and has slivered almonds on top. That one's for Greg =) So happy there's such an amazing restaurant that's locally owned nearby. This was the first time we ordered from Sabaand it certainly won't be the last. Oh, and I ordered Turkish coffee. Yummm. This is a great addition to the Poughkeepsie dining scene. With all the big box restaurants along Route 9, it's nice to see local restaurants opening up. I love to support local businesses in...

When you find a good restaurant, the most important part about it is CONSISTENCY! Far too often you find a place you love, and are disappointed when it doesn’t hit the same way it did when you first had it, or you recommend a friend to try it out and they have a different experience—this could never be the case with Saba. I couldn’t count on all my fingers and toes how many times I have eaten here, but EVERY SINGLE TIME without fail it is DELICIOUS. Every meal feels like I am gracing my taste buds with the finest delicacies for the first time all over again. The freshness and quality of the ingredients are very apparent. You will never have a one-off experience here. What really compliments how delicious this food is, too is the family that runs this place. They are kind, and clearly incredibly dedicated to their craft. My family comes here for the food, but STAYS always...
