26 of the Best Counter Service Spots in San Francisco | Eater SF
"Sababa’s original, cozy (read: tiny) space is geared for quick, healthy eating based on the fresh flavors of Israeli food. The first location — a second is now open at 554 Commercial Street — was designed by the chef himself, and features exposed brick from the year the building was built in 1906, copper lighting fixtures and geometric tile give the space a bright, Mediterranean feel. As for the food, there’s a “make-your-own pita” bar, where diners can choose from fillings like falafel, chicken shawarma, and merguez enveloped by made-to-order pitas, or in a bowl. There is also a selection of salads like charred broccoli with pine nuts and tahini, a moroccan carrot salad, and a house-made pickle bar. Beverages include frozen coffee and mint lemonade, beer and wine." - Caleb Pershan
