"Sababa and sister spot Little Blackbird located next door will be offering their seasonal a la carte menu full of seasonal fare on April 20. Look forward to menu specials like the herb and brie omelette and the latke and lox with scallion cream cheese and red onion. Brunch at Sababa and Little Blackbird will be served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dinner will be served from 5 to 9 p.m. at Sababa and from 5 to 10 pm. at Little Blackbird." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Cleveland Park’s quiet remove from the buzz of downtown means it’s easy to walk in and find a seat at Sababa, the Israeli restaurant that’s long been a staple in the neighborhood. We like coming here for brunch, which is served just once a week, on Sundays. Their shakshuka and Jerusalem bagel sandwiches are some of the best you’ll find in the city, and their old-school style chopped chicken liver is a welcome alternative to your standard breakfast sausage. If you’re an eggs benedict devotee, Sababa makes a few with braised lamb and smoked eggplant." - madeline weinfield
"At Sababa and Little Blackbird next door lies the cherry blossom sundae, which is nothing like the traditional delicacies that feature the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry combo. This iteration ($10) boasts cherry blossom ice cream topped with candied almond and white sesame. Pair it with two spring forward cocktails: the Tokyo Red with Suntory whiskey, maraschino cherries, cherry hibiscus syrup, and yuzu juice ($18); and the Melon Spring Elixir with Barr Hill gin, midori, lemon juice, and mint syrup ($18)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
