Takeaway in Campbell Parade
A cheap-and-cheerful Israeli falafel joint on the Campbell Parade beachfront strip, turning out stuffed pita pockets, plates and bowls to a mostly-vegetarian crowd.
Sabbaba is one of Bondi's long-running budget falafel counters, and it's the kind of place we'd point you to when you want a fast, filling, plant-forward feed without a sit-down commitment. The menu leans hard into chickpea-and-tahini territory — flavoured falafel balls, generous pita pockets, salad-loaded plates and bowls, plus dips and hot chips — and almost everything can be built vegetarian or vegan. Now on Campbell Parade after years at its old Hall Street home, it stays open late, which makes it a reliable after-beach or post-swim refuel.
A stuffed falafel pita pocket or a falafel plate/bowl loaded with salads and hummus; add a side of hot chips (cooked without animal fats).
Casual, no-frills, order-at-the-counter and go — busy and lively at peak beach hours.
Local tip: It's takeaway-first with limited seating, so our move is to grab a pita pocket and eat it across the road on the grass or the promenade rather than hovering for a table.
Worth knowing: This is fast, functional falafel rather than a destination meal — don't come expecting a proper sit-down dining experience or an ocean-view fit-out.
Hours, prices and menus change — always check the venue’s own site before you go. Spotted something out of date? We keep this directory current; details reflect our last check.
