Saaya is a beautiful new spot near Deep Ellum that was almost empty when we visited on a Friday afternoon. Maybe it's more of a club than a restaurant; we couldn't break curfew to find out.
Lauren Drewes DanielsOn a scorching Friday afternoon just after 5 p.m., Saaya, a new restaurant, bar and hookah lounge on the fringes of Deep Ellum, was almost empty. This is another spot from, a Dallas-based hospitality group whose dossier includes The Finch, Vidorra, Sitrr, Citizen Dallas and Harper's. Each has its own vibrant personality and each knows how to throw a good party.
Every drink had something that made me question the end result . And I can only read a cocktail menu for so long. I ordered an old-fashioned. It was large and refreshing, a generous pour for sure. Only teased by the idea of food at this point, next we went with something a bit more substantial: a plate of beef shawarma with lavash , tomatoes, pickled turnips, cucumber, garlic aioli, tzatziki and sumac fries. The wrap was very good, with tender beef and tangy vegetables all nestled in a toasty warm lavash. A grayish condiment was hard to identify and didn't really have much of a flavor. But those sumac fries were amazing. For the price point, this was a good meal.
