Saba is Pomegranate Hospitality's flagship restaurant. Meaning Grandfather in Hebrew, Saba is located in Uptown New Orleans, reflecting chef Alon Shaya's heritage, a journey through food and beverage which pays homage to the culinary landscape of Israel. With influences that stem from the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, Saba reflects a collection of moments where food and culture have crossed paths, offering a taste of this ever-evolving cuisine. Wood fired pita bread baked steps from the table soaks up the flavors of Bulgaria, Yemen, Syria, Morocco, Turkey, Palestine and Greece to name a few. Saba aims to source seafood, meats and produce from local farms around New Orleans, guiding them over hot coals to family-style platters on the table.
“My friend guilted me into taking them to this restaurant due to the duck matzo ball soup and I’m so glad they did. Despite being more out of the way than traditional French Quarter or CBD eateries we were on a nice quiet part of magazine street which we were able to easily get to via bus (or Uber). First off, we were greeted by the adorable and super personable Allie- the hostess. Not only was she fashionable and professional she was so friendly and offered to let us charge our phones up while we dined as she knew we would need them to travel back after our meal. She checked in on us through the evening and was definitely a highlight. The food itself was truly superb. We got the classic hummus after debating between multiple types and it did not disappoint. The lamb chops were tender and the yogurt sauce tangy. The red snapper and Moroccan red pepper sauce was something I’ll think of and try and recreate (and fail). We left full, satisfied, and with great memories. I do wish our server had checked in slightly more frequently but it was busy and later in the evening so I recognize he had many tables he was attending to all at once. I’m incredibly thankful my friend talked me into dining at Saba for one of our Nola evenings!”
“Zev was amazing! Attentive and very nice. I would rate (without ranking the pita which is included) 1. Hummus lamb (i’m not a lamb person and this was amazing) 2. Crab Hummus 3. Falafel 4. Baba ganoush 5. Lamb”
“We stopped into Saba for a bite while strolling Magazine St. what a delight, the decor is so aesthetically pleasing and has an amazing vibe. We ordered the blue crab hummus with pickled vegetables, yum wow! We then ordered the kabob plate and the chicken sandwich…. The pita was hands down the best I’ve had, the chicken sandwich was amazing, crispy thinly fried chicken cutlet with all the fixings. If you’re in the Magazine St. area this is a must stop. Cheers!!!”
“Another excellent restaurant by 'local' chef and restauranteur, Alon Shaya. A uniquely crafted menu where every item is elegantly presented, with quite unique flavors for its simplicity. Great for lunch or dinner. Large covered outdoor seating and an equally large and comfortable room and bar inside. Good for a large group, which can be hard to find on Magazine.”
“Heard about Saba while dining at a sister restaurant, Miss River. It was the perfect spot for us. We loved the beautiful and delicious mocktails, as well as the small plates. We were seeking a lighter dinner and Saba was the perfect choice. Definitely looking forward to returning for more!”
