A Middle Eastern Boomlet in San Francisco?

Sababa’s eggplant is soggy rather than smooth. Amba should be very tart and spicy, with just a touch of sweetness - it’s not supposed to be a sweet sauce. I think Sababa’s is not even recognizable as amba. Salad should be crunchy, not soggy as it is as Sababa.

As with their falafel sandwich, Sababa’s sabich just ends up being a squishy, bland, mess. I don’t know about the airport, but you don’t have to go anywhere special to find great sabich or great falafel anywhere in Israel.
