Saw that this place was voted best vegetarian restaurant on campus and had to try it out. Loved, loved, loved the Grilled Goat Cheese! Plus, the staff was super awesome.

It is one of the best lunch deals on campus and it's hard to beat the location. My favorite is the patty melt on rye, which is served with fries and a pickle. You can get pretty much any topping on it and Chef Aaron will cook it up special just for you. He loves making whatever you want to eat and always mixes in daily specials that are definitely worth checking out!

I have been now going to Cafe Sababa for over a year. I get the Tuna Melt on Rye with a bunch of toppings. The environment is super friendly and Aaron is an amazing chef which always interacts with his customers. This place is family friendly and I know where I will be eating tomorrow for lunch! One of the best places to get lunch in champaign.

Great vegetarian and kosher dishes walking distance from the University of Illinois campus! The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious. If you're in town you should definitely try Aaron's nacho fries or ask him to whip you up one of his veggie burgers stacked with toppings, I promise you won't be disappointed.

The man in charge of this wonderful establishment is extremely knowledgeable of kosher cooking. All the food is good here. The fries are delicious, the soup is delectable, and the breakfast special for $4 is the best deal in existence.

It's a kosher restauraunt, but it is also one of the best lunch deals on campus. I usually get the grilled cheese on rye, which come with fries and a pickle (for $5!!). Chef Aaron is also super nice and runs really creative specials from time to time (be sure to ask).

If you are visiting Champaign-Urbana and looking for a Kosher option, this is more than good. The food is made fresh every day and tastes great. Prices good. Lots of healthy options which I appreciated.
