It's an authentic Ethiopian restaurant both food and decor wise. Their veggie combo is delicious. The various curries that come on top of the Ethiopian bread are quite flavourful esp the lentils. 2 people can go with one combo full with extra breads if needed.

We got the small veggie combo with two types of lentils (yellow and red), red split peas and okra as sides. The lentils and split peas were great. The Injera was good.
I liked their Fir-Fir with their Ayib, Ethiopian cottage cheese which is similar in taste to Paneer, Indian cottage cheese.
Okras however, weren't good as we got raw unchewable bites. Looks like they don't pay attention while selecting the okras.
Prices are pocket friendly.
Street parking can be difficult during busy hours.
Update:
Visited this place again with some friends and everyone like the food. Adding a photo of the veggie combo.

Delicious and plentiful food. For 4 people we got the large veggie combo and a three dish combo and now have a full take out box for the next few days. I always love the taste and texture of gored gored, the lentil dishes are so good and never mushy, and the green lamb was probably the table favorite. I've also come here for lunch with my work and they are never crowded for lunch during the week so it's a good place for groups.

At Saba bar & restaurant, I was greeted by very friendly people and experienced very fast, equally friendly service. Both the bartender and waitress bent over backwards to ensure that my boyfriend and I were having a great time!! The only thing even better was the amazing food. I regularly eat Ethiopian food in cities all around the globe, and Saba is hands down one of the best. I also very much appreciated that the business has been around for decades and is family owned.
Definitely do not miss a chance to go to this restaurant or order takeout (although the large shareable plates are much better enjoyed in the restaurant).
Pro Tip: Try the honey wine!!

Really good, with great prices! The veggie combo is just over $20, but I believe it can fill 3 people up -- got it once with someone else and we were STUFFED afterward, and couldn't even finish the last part. The portions are huge, and totally worth the money. The injera was delicious, and so was everything else. The only thing is I wish it were less greasy, but even still it's very yum.

Their Dora wot and beef tibs are to die for, all served with unlimited injera bread baskets. I am a meat eater, but this is a place I have actually ordered the vegetarian platter.
Sizes are a little bigger than expected. Each dish would comfortably feed 2. The larger plates can even stretch to 4.
Service is a bit spotty though, could use some polishing.

This was my first time trying the Ethiopian cuisine and I absolutely loved it. This restaurant is basically a no frills place and quite functional, which serves food and drinks on point and promptly. They have couple of vegetarian options if not many. One meal can be easily shared between 2-3 people with min to average appetite. The music is authentic to the setting. And the staff is friendly and welcome you with a warm smile.

One of my favorite spots when I am in the area, I only wish I was near there more often. The food is always good, and the service is good as well. Love the traditional Ethiopian food and overall atmosphere. Highly recommended for a quick lunch or a late dinner.

Big portion that are sure to fill you up. The server was quire attentive as bd explained the options/sizing to us which was very helpful. We did the small veggie combo & the chicken tips as well as their mango juice. We set to our hearts content and still had sizable leftovers. Everything was delicious.
