Pretty decent

It was a nice quick lunch. Falafel was good and had a nice crunch. I had it in their pita.

Best falafels ever

Vegan or vegetarian options available, best falafels I've ever had and they give you a very good portion per pita!

Pros: Lots of veg and vegan options!

Cons: Very responsible for what you get

Deceiving images

The only reason I don’t give this place 5 stars is because the photo of the food vs what actually was served did not match. The dips were much less generous than the image suggests. Was asked if I want whole meal bread but was not told it would cost extra. But the food itself was delicious. And is a great sharing plate. Also the menu is very straight forward and easy to understand and order from. Vegan clearly labeled on the vegan items. The food itself was very fresh.

Pros: Clear menu , Delicious food , Fresh food

Cons: Food served did not match quantity provided

Watch out for the chilli!

I had a good falafel wrap, tasty and well filled. The chilli though - fortunately I only got to it at the end, but my daughter’s wrap was so hot she didn’t really enjoy it. I would ask them to leave it out next time. Good crunchy sweet potato fries.

Pros: Vegan options, Quick

Cons: Too much chilli, Quite pricey

Best falafel pita outside of Israel

This isn't dry falafel with lettuce and tomato. The falafels are fresh, green inside, and there are many toppings. Check the menu photo! We come here weekly. Although they serve meat. All of the pita pockets can be vegan (choose falafel as the protein). They also have salads and other items.
Also note: Iku (100% vegan) is next door. Something for everyone!

Pros: All pitas have a vegan option (falafel), So yummy. You must try it!, Fast service. Food court seating.

Cons: I wish they didn't also serve meat.

Fast food/lunch place

Good place if you quickly wanna grab some lunch. Convenient location with some vegan options which are clearly labeled. Not fancy or special but alright.

Very tasty falafel

The falafel pita pocket is really good and filling.
You have the choice of white or brown bread and then of several different topping combinations such as taboule, hummus, chilli, eggplant, ...
It's my new go-to for lunch in the CBD.

Pros: Tasty, Broad choice of toppings

Cons: The food court sitting area is gloomy

Good option in the city

I have eaten at Iku (next door in the Westfield food court) several times so decided to give Sabbaba a try. The falafel is very good in a pita and there are at least four choices of salad/sauce fillings on the menu that are clearly marked "vegan". Despite a lunchtime queue I didn't have to wait long. I will return.

Pros: Quick service for a lunch break

Cons: A little bit more expensive than I'd like

Best falafel!

The falafel here is light crunchy and just plain delicous. I ordered the sababba pita pocket with falafel which comes with fresh salad, hommus, salsa and tahini sauce, but they have several other vegan pita varieties to choose from. The chips are seasoned with a tasty blend of herbs which is also very good - you can even order a pita that comes with chips on it!

Pros: Gluten free options, Falafel, Vegan options labelled

Cons: Seating can be hard to find in food court
