Saba - Review - Uptown - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Fair warning: When Saba’s pillowy pita bread arrives at your table, take a beat before diving in. That’s because it comes blazing hot straight from the oven just past the front door. You’ll want to savor every bite, and it’ll still be steaming when you first crack into it. Few individual menu items are more likely to please even the pickiest of eaters. OK, sure, there are gluten allergies to consider, but it remains that Saba’s menu, with its salatim and fully-loaded hummuses, are a perfect starting point. They’re also a key part of Saba’s Feed Me menu, which the restaurant requires for groups of six or more, and results in the kitchen sending dish after dish to your table with selections from its favorites. We’re talking about platters of smoky harissa chicken, to specials that highlight whatever’s in season. Here’s hoping the blue crab hummus is among them. video credit: Cory Fontenot photo credit: Cory Fontenot photo credit: Cory Fontenot photo credit: Cory Fontenot Pause Unmute" - Chelsea Brasted
