Here I ordered Lamb Kabsah with a side of salad. Lamb was cooked to PERFECTION! Rice was FULL OF FLAVOR! Salad was FRESH and CRISPY! The food made me happy and I went back home to sleep. I would give this place 4.5/5

We did an online pick up at Saba on a Monday night and our food was prepared very quickly. We got…read morethe lamb haneeth and chicken mandi, both of which were really tasty. But particularly the lamb haneeth was incredible! It came with four pieces of lamb, all of which were super tender! Even the rice had a nice lamb flavor. Speaking of rice, they do not skimp on it! Each dish is easily shareable with someone else. Our meal even came with a salad and the tomato sauce (this sauce is a must!). I will definitely be returning!

I went to SimSim with my Ukrainian father and Indian mother shortly after they opened. I grew up on…read moreUkrainian food, and middle eastern cuisine is some of my favorite, so my expectations were high. Lord, this place did not disappoint! We decided to share everything and eat family style. We ordered 3 Ukrainian dishes: Holubtsi (cabbage rolls stuffed with lamb and beef mixed with rice), cabbage stuffed varenyky (pierogis), deruny (potato pancakes) and the lamb kofta. Each dish was fantastic! The holubtsi were soft and tender in the center, but didn't fall apart when you cut through them. The varenyky tasted like what my family made. The deruny were thin and crispy - my favorite way of making them. And the lamb kofta was absolutely scrumptious. The rice and sauce it came with were divine. Our all-in-one hostess and waitress was also the manager, a young woman from Ukraine who was incredibly attentive and endlessly friendly. She embodies what the hospitality sector is about. The owners are a couple - a Palestinian husband and Ukrainian wife. The latter seems to be the chef de cuisine, while the former runs the front of house and went out of his way to connect with us and introduce us to his son, who also works at SimSim. TLDR: Even if you don't care about supporting two different war torn countries, the food here is both delicious and authentic. I can't wait to go back and eat my way through the rest of the menu!

This place probably deserves a 1 star rating based on the food but the restaurant is decent (big,…read moregood seating, clean bathrooms) and the person serving us seemed to understand that the food was underwhelming. Going back to the food, it was poor from beginning to end. The grape leaves tasted worse or at least as bad as some canned grape leaves. It was not fresh, you could tell from the rice inside and the way the grape leaves broke when you bit into them. The fattoush salad didn't seem to have enough parsley and mint and it was most a lettuce salad. The adeni tea was plain weird. It didn't taste like tea at all. The kabsa felt like rice had been mixed with curry. I guess that's why the guy was asking how spicy we wanted it. Typically that is not a question when ordering kabsa. The lamb chops were not good either. The meat was tough, as was the meat for some of the other dishes. It's unfortunate because we were excited to try this place ever since we saw that it was opening. There was maybe 1 other customer when we were there and I guess it makes sense now. Hope they improve or else they are going to struggle.

I first tried the assorted kebabs. Unfortunately, the chicken had dried out and the kofta felt too crumbly. The chicken rice dish had quite aromatic rice but underseasoned chicken; seasoned rice alone can't substitute bland chicken drumsticks. The lamb rice dish had both aromatic rice and juicy, well seasoned lamb. I ended up combining the lamb pieces with the chicken rice. Out of curiosity, I tried a piece of their fried chicken. It proved juicy and not too oily. It would do well as a standalone appetizer in most restaurants. I also tried something that looked like lasagna, but without tomato. It tasted, to my uncultured palate, like a lasagna with some sort of cream or bechamel-like sauce. I quite enjoyed it. For dessert, my friend convinced me to try what I had initially passed over as oatmeal or tapioca pudding. The Omi Ali proved quite delectable, like a cross between bread pudding and oatmeal but with more nuanced spices and sweetness. I added it to my short list of desserts I enjoy, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Overall, I appreciated the breath and variety. Some hits and misses are to be expected at a homely, ethnic neighborhood style buffet.

Delightfully fresh and filling.

The gyro meat was tender and flavorful, and the lemon and herbs in the dressing gave the salad an extra brightness and freshness that made the whole thing so delightful. I didn't think it was possible to enjoy a simple salad so much. I'm sitting outside of the restaurant right now seriously deciding if I want to go back in and order one more to take home.

Dear Joon Management,…read more My family and I have been regular customers at your restaurant since March because we truly enjoy your excellent Persian food. I have also brought many coworkers and friends to introduce them to your restaurant. Unfortunately, during every visit over the past several months, the rice has been excessively salty. It tastes as though salt was added to the rice rather than the rice being properly seasoned. In May, I brought eight guests, and nearly everyone left their rice untouched. In early July, I returned with four people, and once again no one ate the rice. We mentioned the issue to our waiter, who was very polite and said he would inform the manager and the cook. On the third Wednesday of July, I came with two friends, and once again none of us ate the rice. I spoke with the manager, who was very kind and assured me she would discuss the issue with the cook. Unfortunately, despite reporting the problem more than once, nothing has changed. If this had happened only once, I would not be writing this email. However, after several disappointing visits, I expected that our meals would have been replaced or that we would not have been charged for food that was left uneaten because of the overly salted rice. I respectfully request that you consider providing a refund or another appropriate resolution for our most recent visit. More importantly, I hope this issue is corrected so future customers can fully enjoy your excellent food. If our feedback is important to you, I would appreciate hearing from you. I would also like to share your response with the friends and coworkers I have encouraged to visit your restaurant. My name is David A., and my email address is Shirpelang@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, David A.

Everything was delicious, no weak dish in the bunch. The meatballs and falafel especially stood out, but honestly the whole table was clean by the end. We also tried the Fig Old Fashioned and the Hafizz Spritz. The Fig Old Fashioned was the standout of the night: bourbon sweetened with fig cordial and warmed with Angostura bitters. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and dangerously easy to drink. The Hafizz Spritz was refreshing too, cucumber, lime, and mint with gin, prosecco rosé, and elderflower, but the Fig Old Fashioned is the one I'm already thinking about ordering again. Great first visit. Will be back for social hour again.
