100% the best new restaurant I have been to this year. I have certain criteria that I typically…read morerate a restaurant and Sababa missed one but is still the best place I have been to in a long time. I got a steak bowl and my wife got a chicken bowl and they are both incredible. The food is exactly what I look for in food which is a lot of texture and different elements that all add to a dish and this bowl was incredible. I came here around 5pm on a Saturday and everyone inside was very very nice. Right away they asked if we were new and gave us a sample of their amazing falafels (which was great) and they made sure to walk us through their menu and what typically is ordered. Food came out quick and it looked amazing. The only struggle that I can see is finding parking that is close but we got lucky finding a spot right outside. I recommend anyone coming here and I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

The place was located a 2-min walk from our hotel, so it was a convenience at first, but after…read moretrying the food out, I will have to come back! Food is well season and hot.

I absolutely love the food here--it's always delicious.

It was mostly pita bread with very little chicken inside. After just a couple of bites, it was practically flat because there was barely any filling. It honestly felt like I paid for air. If you're going to offer a promotion, the quality and portion size should be consistent with the regular item. The food is fantastic, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I hope this was just an isolated incident and not how promotional orders are normally prepared.

When you order food to go, they place a piece of parchment paper down on the container. The…read moreparchment paper interacts with wet ingredients and rips and mixes with the food and ruins the meal. Or worse is, ingested.

Well, to start off, I must admit I drove by this place about 10 times before I finally went in. All…read morethose times, I never saw people inside. Which I understand why. I finally went in today and sadly, was not only disappointed, my fantasy of Falafel King was destroyed forever. I know Benito used to work for Falafel King, but this place is nothing like it. The service was horrible. The guy behind the little counter was not nice at all. In fact he was rude. And didn't like if you asked him questions. But that aside, sitting in this little tiny restaurant was not a good feeling. We were the only ones there. They have a seating area outside, I'm guessing for overflow - yet, the table and chairs were right there in the middle of the restaurant. Piled up. They didn't even bother to take it outside. Put all that aside - we get to the food. One of the best things Falafel King has were the "chips", which were battered slices of potatoes that were deep fried. These were slices of potato, they were potato chips. Thin. No "meat" on them, if you know what I mean. And sadly, they were fried either early this morning or last night. Terrible, cold, hard, no taste - not even salt. We move on the falafel - which tasted good. The taste of the falafel itself was good, but the oil dripping down my hand an face was not. I blame that on the oil not being hot enough when he put the falafel into the oil. Next, the actual shwarma is not really shwarma (like you all know it). There was no revolving slab of meat where the fat melts into the meat and makes it so so special. No. This was a little baggy of already cooked meat with no spices on it thrown on the plancha and heated up. Hard and tasteless. Very disappointing. I picked it out of my pita and ate the salad with tehina and spicy eggplant (which WAS tasty). The pita is also a thin hard pita - not the nice fluffy type. I didn't finish my food, and my friend didn't finish the food, as you can see in the pictures. Sorry to give it a 1 - but to say you have ANY connection to "Falafel King" is a disgrace. Sorry if I sound brutal. I tell it like it is.

Every time I come here the food is excellent. I usually get felafel sandwich and Greek salad but…read moreeverything I've had here is great. I've also catered from Felafel Queen, they out together some great trays. You get a lot of food so you can order for fewer people than you're actually feeding. Very nice service too.

Dune has been on my "to try" list for a while. What a gem! The food was SO GOOD…read more We arrived around 7 on a Saturday night. The darling patio was pretty full but we had a very short wait. Out server Emily was a delight. So friendly and accommodating (and thanks again for the Baklava!) We had the lamb shwarma plate and the fried chicken plate, both with hummus. Also a side of the Za'atar/sumac fries. Fries came out first PIPING hot, crispy, seasoned perfectly nom nom. The entrees quickly followed. The lamb was so tender and juicy and bursting with flavor. And the fried chicken was AMAZING. Shwarma that is breaded with an amazing mixture and fried. Genius! The plates also came with hummus topped with whole chickpeas (YUM), dilled rice, a cabbage salad and other greens, grilled pita bread, olives and my personal favorite, pickled radishes. Many reviews describe them as beets (which I also love) but these are radishes and they pair so well with the rich meat. An umami bomb! Portions HUGE (we have a full meal waiting in the fridge) and prices very reasonable. Patio is a very fun hang with pretty lights. My only knock is on the chairs which are not exactly "comfy." But that's a trivial issue. Service was attentive and staff so friendly and helpful. I can't remember Emily's colleague's name but shout out to her and her Rasputin's shirt (yay Berkeley vibes.) She was great. We will definitely be back at Dune soon!

Been passing by Dune for a while and finally decided to try it…read more Parking was a bit of a struggle. Could be because it was Sunday and there was a Farmers Market nearby, but still something to consider. We ordered the Lamb Plate ($26). Portion was solid and the plate is actually pretty interesting -- lots of different sides (flatbread, greens, olives, pickled turnips, etc.), so it doesn't feel boring. That said, the lamb itself was just a few small pieces and it was ground. I would've preferred more actual meat Tried the rosemary lemonade too, but didn't really taste any rosemary. Just a regular lemonade, slightly sweet and sour. Also you pay upfront right after ordering. We sat outside on a small patio facing Glendale Blvd. It's a tight space, and at one point someone from the street was walking around nearby talking to themselves, which made the experience a bit less comfortable. Staff was friendly and service was quick though, no issues there. Also, no public restroom, so keep that in mind. Overall, not bad. I was hungry, so I finished everything pretty fast, but it didn't really stand out enough for me to make a special trip again.

Each individual item is great on its own but the combination of flavors is what really takes it over the top for me. I usually get the kefta plate, but decided to try the shewarma this time and it was great. Boyfriend loved his salmon plate and insisted we come back :) We also tried the cinnamon halva shakes (not pictured) which were interesting, but not what either of us expected. Very creamy and not too sweet, with the tahini flavor overpowering the cinnamon. The ambiance of this spot is great - love the intimate patio area with string lights. There was a fire going in the stove too which was super cozy. One of my go to classy-casual spots!

Dinner was delicious during my first visit to Mizlala. The Chicken Pargiyot was well seasoned and enough for two portions easily (in case you wanna share.) The rice...meh. Hummus and their fluffy pita...delightful. We also really enjoyed the Sumac fries and garlic sauce. Once you arrive, go inside to order and then back outside to seat yourself in the patio area. It's very cute with a garden'y feel. Wonderful for summer nights, but the flies and random gnats are OVERLY annoying while eating. They do not have inside seating. Service was lovely and they even made wine suggestions with my meal. Parking is potentially an issue, as the restaurant is in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Be aware of street signs.
