Across reviews, Sarab emerges as a clean, bright spot with a welcoming ambience and consistently fresh, flavorful food; dishes like stuffed wine leaves and tabouleh made with bulgur and mint are praised for freshness, while the overall menu gets strong marks for quality and the option of dine-in or takeout. The service is described as warm and attentive, making guests feel at home, and the staff are repeatedly noted for friendliness and efficiency. Many visitors call the meals satisfying and the restaurant one of the best options in its category, with several mentioning a spotless dining area and reliable quick, healthy options. A minority reports a less favorable experience with a dry kafta dish, but even in those cases the cleanliness and service are acknowledged, leaving most reviews with a positive impression and the intention to return.
There was two older guys when I came to buy food, I bought salad of 3 choice, the lentils were bad they literally smelled bad the potatos some were hard I don't know is it because they were old or uncooked probably, the falafel ball were pretty weird as well. I came back & made them smell the lentils they said oh it is from yesterday what's wrong with it blah blah, they paid me back, but never going back there.
The food is consistently delicious, & the place is very clean, which makes me feel confident about what I'm eating. The staff are always friendly & provide excellent service, making every visit a pleasant experience.
They make their own stuffed wine leaves. Tabouleh made properly with Bulgar & mint, & everything made incredibly fresh. Service is warm & inviting. While it is not a first date white glove environment, but if you brought someone who appreciates good, fresh, properly fresh food here on a first date at lunch it is a winner! If they are not impressed with the food drop them like a hot falafel! Extremely clean place from the bathrooms to the front door.
Sarab has delicious food, a SPOTLESS (clean) restaurant, & a nice ambience. The staff are very friendly. I've eaten in & taken food to go, & it's always fresh & tasty.

Sarab should be mentioned along with the very best of them ... Boustan, Basha, & Shawarmaz. I got Sarab at the 4 spot. James gotta quit hating & order already. Don't forget that Cott Black Cherry Soda!
We had dinner there just today. I ordered the kafta kebab dinner & my partner got beef shawarma dinner. I am an avid kafta lover & it is my go to order at all Lebanese/Middle Eastern places. Unfortunately, this is by far the driest kafta I have ever had.
My husband was not impressed with his food either.
Overall I would not recommend it.

The best sandwich you'll ever eat! Everything about Sarab is just perfect. The meat is juicy, the sauces are amazing, everything is so fresh! We don't get takeout from anywhere else anymore. The owners are lovely, go say hi as soon as possible.
Got the chicken sandwich which was typical but good. The garlic potatoes are well seasoned & perfect with a side of garlic sauce. Polite, efficient service.
