A Somerville restaurant that featured a cuisine that isn't all that easy to find in the Greater Boston area has shuttered, and it appears to be a permanent closure.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Sabur in Teele Square appears to have closed for good, as the sign has been taken down and people are working on the space. A poster on the Davis Square Facebook group page seems to have confirmed this a few weeks ago, saying that the "closed for renovations" sign (which had been up since the late spring) had been taken down, and the poster was told that the Holland Street dining spot was indeed shutting down permanently. (A call placed to the restaurant indicates that the phone is out of service.)
Sabur first opened just under 20 years ago, offering Balkan fare along with Mediterranean food items; its menu including such options as grilled shrimp wrapped in vine leaves, slow roasted lamb, potato and celery root cakes, beet risotto, veggie tagine, maple polenta cakes, and a wild fig sundae.
The address for Sabur was 212 Holland Street, Somerville, MA, 02144.
