Saba's Grill & Wok
Where else but Houston can you find a Kosher Israeli and Chinese restaurant? Warm atmosphere in a modern dining room where you order at the counter. We tried Chinese Dan Dan Noodles and Almond and Cashew Chicken, and were very pleased with both. The Noodles were a perfect al dente texture with a crispy chicken in a spicy sauce accompanied by crunchy cucumber, bean sprouts and scallions.

Will need to try some Israeli dishes on our next visit. Lovely interior and friendly counter service. You order at the register and they bring the food to your table. Interesting menu of grill, Mediterranean and Chinese. I ordered the hummus which came on a plate sprinkles with spices. Smooth creamy texture and quite light.

Food is ok but the portions are not sized for the price you pay. It is very expensive and I would expect to at least get a large plate. There are also no modern sauces like garlic mayo, spicy mayo, sweet chilli. This place has potential but there skimping out on there customers.

The absolute worse $20 dollars worth of presented noodles I ever ate.
Wish there was a Chinese guy blocking the door screaming "don't do it".
Guy at register is all "about the turn and burn" and if your seeking good customer service!
THIS IS MOT YOUR PLACE!

I just started keeping kosher fully, and was interested in seeing if kosher Thai was as good as the treif. This is as good as it gets, ladies and gentlemen! The Pad Thai was quite tasty and as close as you can get to the real thing without the oyster and fish sauce. Both Saba’s locations are excellent and very reasonably priced. We took our food to go, but the place looked nice for dine-in as well. I’ll be back.

As someone who doesn't follow kosher, I found the food to be fine (I ordered tofu with general TSO sauce) but couldn't believe how expensive it was... almost $20. The gentleman at the register was nice and although I probably wouldnt frequent the place, it is nice to have kosher options in the area.

Kosher and delicious!

The food at the restaurant was amazing. They have a very broad menu, mostly Mediterranean with some Asian dishes as they want to offer all kind of variety of kosher food to their clients.

The attention in the place was great, even when they were very busy, and the price was very fair.

The food as I said was great but I just love their babaganoush, salad and dip
Combo, specially their matbucha and I had a mix grill plate with all the meats loving them all !

Recommend 100%
Plenty parking outside

Delicious food! Food was ready quickly. We ordered a dish of sesame sauce beef and sesame sauce chicken. Both great choices. We walked in hungry and still had a whole lot of leftovers.

One of the best kosher food experiences I have had outside of New York or Los Angeles. I jokingly even question if they are really kosher because the service was so good. :-) Most kosher restaurants don't put much into customer service but the people were very friendly and they did a superb job packaging to go orders and getting the order exactly right. We had two huge orders one coming into Galveston and one leaving to go back to Dallas. And each order was exactly right food was hot and fresh and I really wish there was a Chinese place that's good in Dallas

I placed an order through a 3rd party app for delivery. I got a burger, kofta kabob, and beef shawarma along with fries and hummus. The kabob sandwich tasted really good which was my favorite but the burger and beef shawarma tasted a bit bland. Maybe some sauce or something else could have helped add some flavor. Hummus and fries were good even though the order didn't come with any ketchup.

The General Tso's Chicken was very tasty and better than a few oriental places we've tried in the area. The wonton soup disappeared as soon as it hit the table, the wontons were large and full of meat and the broth had lots of flavor. They have pasta dishes, hummus and lots of different cuisines on the menu and we'll need to come back and sample a few. Great service too.

Very niceLy decorated multicultural Kosher restaurant certified by both Houston Kosher and TEXAS Mehadrin.

They serve oriental, Israeli (Middle Eastern), and American choices; but mainly oriental.

Very clean and order at counter and food delivered to the table. The portion sizes are www hat you expect of a kosher establishment and the attempts at varied foods is good.

If coming be aware that prices are 50-100% more than non kosher establishments, but Houstonian's are lucky to be able to get restaurant cooked oriental food.

I've been meaning to stop by saba's since it opened, but I kept forgetting. Decided to get take out for lunch today and ordered the orange peel chicken. I was astounded by how high the prices were ($17 for one dish), but when I got my meal, I inhaled it.

They give you a large portion enough for 2 so that somewhat makes up for the steep price. My orange chicken had real orange peels in it and the meat was thin, not the usual breaded mess you get at Americanized Chinese restaurants. I also liked you get a choice of brown or white rice which was also generous portion. The bell peppers and

Here is another good place for lunch. It's a mix between Mediterranean and Asian cuisine.

The Good:

The staff has a great attitude. The portions are big.

The Bad:

The food was a little bland, I was anticipating a little more seasoning in the meats.

The interesting:

love the decor in this restaurant.

Try it and let me know your thoughts.

I absolutely loved the food and service was great. My picky child loved the chicken tenders with fries. Reason behind the 4 starts is because they forgot the sauce for the sweet & sower chicken.

Great Israeli and middle-astern food, also not half bad Asian wok style foods.
All kosher if one is observing.

I ordered the hummus which came on a plate sprinkles with spices. Smooth creamy texture and quite light. Served with a warm pita. Not really enough bread to finish the hummus but they brought us another one with the meal. My son ordered the shawarma plate which was more than enough for two people. The mixed meat was tasty even though we couldn't determine what the origin of the meat was. Food was fresh and hot. Total for the one

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always on point and the service is friendly and fast. You order at the counter, and the employees are always really helpful and willing to make changes and substitutions to all the plates.
The food is kosher, so you know the meat is always top notch. Since kosher products are always a little more expensive, the meals may seem pricey to some BUT each portion is HUGE! One order alone is enough to feed me for three meals!
They offer both Chinese and Israeli food. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese in general, but I seem to forget that when I eat

I ordered the shawarma on pita bread, which came with a side of french fries. I liked every part of my meal except the cabbage. And I really didn't like that cabbage. I had to take all of it out before I could finish the sandwich. The beef was delicious. The white sauce was just okay, but the red sauce was spicy and added a nice kick. This was my first time here, and the staff was very welcoming and helped me order something that I would enjoy. I will be back soon to try one of their chicken entrees.

Excellent food, really nice decor.
The wait staff was very attentive and professional.
Had the Hummus and Beef Cigar appetizers, the beef cigars were very good with a little spicy bite that wasn't overwhelming. I've never had better or fresher pita bread.
We had the Shwarma plate and Steak Kabob plate, both entrees were excellent.
The Israeli salad was very refreshing and the coleslaw was also very good.

Took family for dinner, glad to see a new place in Meyerland/Westbury.

Sabas' has many flavors in one place. I had shawarma plate which was solid,grilled veggies and there was a nice spicy sauce. kids had burgers and wife had stir fry. Burgers were super fresh meat and large with healthy portion of big steak fries. I want to come back for stir fry as wife's dish was the best and I was jealous. They have some legit woks in employment going to flavor town. All on display so you can see the action if you like.

This pace is kosher so don't ask for cheese on your burger or you will

Saba's is kosher, but even if you're like me and know nothing of that and don't have a Yarmulke in your wardrobe you'll like the place. It's a mix of Israeli food, burgers, and Chinese food. I don't know if you can get more Meyerland than this place.

Try the beef cigars, a thin roll of beef in a phyllo dough and fried with a zippy side of tahini sauce. The Chinese food is quality stuff, too. The appetizers are big enough to share with the table. It's not cheap but everything is fresh and tasty.
