SABRA AT THE CORNER OF NEWTON CENTER HAS THE GREATEST FOOD AND SERVICE. I HAD A GREATEST EXPERIENCE HERE WITH 100% SATISFACTION. THE FOOD WAS READY IN 10 MINUTES OR EVEN LESS WITH THE GREAT SERVICE OF STAFF AND MANAGEMENT... THE BACKGROUND MUSIC WAS AMAZING. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK "SABRA".

  • Pros: SUPERB

Sabra is bar none the WORST "middle eastern" restaurant I've ever been to. My husband is middle eastern and we both agree this place is a dive. The decor is tacky, the place was dead and the food was AWFUL! Cheesy top 40 music from the 80's blaring in the background. UGGH!

The hummus came with the weirdest decoration of radishes and onions placed randomly inside the dish. It looked weird and the hummus tasted canned.

The chicken kebab sandwich had MUSTARD on it!!!!! Are you kidding me???? MUSTARD.

The falafel was hard and had a pungent taste.

The worst place ever!!!!

Now if you want REAL hummus and extremely good food go to Cafe Barada in Cambridge. Amazingly friendly owner and the food is amazing ever time. We live in Newton Centre and drive there all the time.

Had to try Sabra once.... NEVER AGAIN!

  • Pros: Location
  • Cons: Everything about it.

We ordered the Baba Ganoush, Hommous, and Kafta Kebab dinner. It was all delicious and it was ready in ten minutes or less. All the food was super fresh and flavorful. We will be sure to order from here again. The manager was so sweet when we came in. We'll be sure to dine-in when we can. I think this place is a hidden gem in Newton Centre. Don't miss it!

  • Pros: Great food, can get a table with no problem, great bar
  • Cons: May be too big, they could have made do with a restaurant half the size

Sabra is one of my favorite places to take people! Owned by a guy from Lebanon, he converses with everyone who walks in as if you're a long-lost relative! The food is fabulous and always just right. Lunchtime buffet is a bit pricey but well worth the extra bucks! Take home what you can't eat and come back to finish your conversation later. A real Newton gem!

I have come to expect Israeli food outside of Israel is pretty bad, and sabra did not dissappoint me, but they did manage to tick me off with charging so much for my kids food.

I am from the Middle East, and this food can be described as nothing but average, and expensive. With an individual portion of hummous for $6.75 and simple rice with eggplant for $13.95, you will see your bill climb easy to over $50 for a couple for sub-par food.

If you're vegetarian don't expect much on the menu. If you're kosher or hallal, skip this place. You'll be saving yourself a major disappointment.

Nice quiet restaurant. Now the the food is really "greek" middleeastern, as opposed to foods such as couscous.

In Short
While Sabra's interior still appears rooted in the late '70s (it opened in 1978), that doesn't stop a steady stream of suburban families from coming in to feast on the restaurant's award-winning Middle Eastern specialties. A commitment to using fresh ingredients is evident in the orders of creamy hummus, crunchy falafel and stuffed grape leaves that dot most tables. Entrees include savory kibbee, kafta kebabs and lamb curry. Homemade baklava is the central dessert option.

Great service, delicious food! Their hommus is just about perfect, as well as every other dish! We were floored by the falafel, grape leaves, kibee, and tabouli, for some examples. Finished up a feast with some amazing baclava and Turkish style coffee. Can't wait to go back.
