Best steak I've had from any Mediterranean/Middle Eastern place. Skirt steak is well spiced, tender, not dried out. Closest I can come to complaining is it needs more salt. The saj flatbread is a chewier pita that I really enjoyed. The jalapeno pesto sauce is more like a chimmichurri, but delicious no matter what you call it with lots of fresh jalapeno and herbs, not a ton of heat. The salad sides can be a bit bland without adding sauces, my wife loved the hummus. Baklava was walnut filled, crispy, not too drenched in syrup so it didn't get soggy. The person who helped me was friendly and courteous, could see her double checking the orders to make sure they were right which I really appreciated. The place looks and tastes like it should be full all the time, but has been nearly empty when I and coworkers have gone so lets change that, this place should be packed. read more

The food is really good here. It's been awhile since I have been here because I haven't lived in the area recently. But now that I'm back I'm glad I am close to it so I can go pretty often because it is still as good as I remember. I got a plate, which included a combination of chicken shawarma and beef shawarma along with rice, hummus, and salad. read more

I do not think there is enough good Mediterranean food in Colorado. That's why there needs to be more of Saj. It's delicious. It's the go to place for me and my son. I do wish inside and service was a little more lively, it used to be such a happy and welcoming place. But the food is worth it. read more

Saj Fresh Grill - Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

The food is 5/5 in quality and taste, though a little small on the meat servings. I would have given a 5/5 overall but while we were in the restaurant, a new customer came and after 10 minutes, he literally had to walk back into the kitchen to find a server - so service could be improved ‍ read more

Delicious food! My kids loved the chicken kabobs and all the sides (hummus, rice, etc). What a great meal and many choices. Loved it.

Love this place. Amazing good food and beverages with a conscious cause. Parking available and nice atmosphere.

Saj Fresh Grill is sooooo good. Tucked between two chain restaurants, it is definitely the winner out of them. Homemade hummus, inhouse smoked meats and fresh bread/pita made daily, We got the Chicken Shwarma, hummus and pita, and a few desserts, They knocked it out of the park. Everything was fresh and delicious, The desserts knocked it out of the park also. Highly recommend for a healthy and delicious meal. We will be back today. read more

They definitely deserve more stars than is showing for their overall. First, there is truly quite a bit of food. And it is honestly delicious. I have been looking for a mediterranean place, but the name doesn't give that away. Went in only because it says "healthy grill" -- so this was a really nice surprise. You get 3 sides for the lunch plate, so you will have lots left over (if you eat like I do). They have a choice of regular hummus or spicy. The girl said to do spicy (thank you, sweet person behind the counter!), and garlic sauce, and spicy potatoes and rice and cucumber tomato salad. Yummy. I highly recommend and am so glad I found this place. All of this for $13!?? Definitely a gem of a place. read more

Sooooo delicious! I came in for their $10 lunch special and was not disappointed! Valerie was great and the options were plentiful. The store itself was empty (with people and vibes) but overall a great place for Mediterranean food, right near Havana St. read more

Everything was so amazing here! The staff is so friendly and nice. I love the environment and it's just so nice here. The food is sooooooo amazing! I keep coming back. read more

The food used to be so much better. I paid $13 for a few scraps of meat, yellow tasteless rice, frozen potatoes tossed in hot sauce (gross), pita and some tomato cucumber salad. I gave 3 stars because the girl working the counter was super sweet. read more

had a gyro with chips and spicy hummus at the saj fresh grill booth at the farmers market, and it was great food with even better service. would highly recommend stopping by! read more

Absolutely LOVED the service here! The food was excellent (especially the spicy hummus and the baklava), and they have a stunning mural across the main large wall, which adds great ambiance. I also thought the prices were great. Saj would be great for a group, since they have an open, casual eating space, and the food comes out quick. I'm looking forward to coming back, especially for one of the open mic nights they host here sometimes. I think it's awesome that it's also the only Palestinian woman owned spot in our state! read more

Not impressed. I should have known when I walked in during lunch time and it was empty. I got the gyro and it was flavorless.... The gyros and kabobs place off Parker and Jewell is WAY better. Counter service and the lady behind the counter was meh. Not sure I would go back. read more

Saj is Palestinian owned and it's nice to have a restaurant in Aurora instead of traveling down to Denver. It was catered at an event I had attended. There was a good variety of salad, hummus, chips, falafel, spicy potatoes, etc. Each catering tray had a lot of food so this was great for an event. A nice variety of vegetarian and meat options. I like the salad, hummus, and spicy potatoes. The salad had olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and cheese. The spicy potatoes did have a kick to them. The falafels were just okay. read more

Happened upon this delightful restaurant when looking for a lunch spot with a coworker for a working lunch to plan an event. We enjoyed our lunch so much we ended up asking them to cater our event. Comments from our event: "Best falafel I've ever had!" "The chicken shawarma was so flavorful" "Can we take to-go boxes of the leftovers?" I cannot recommend the place enough! For a good sit down meal, or for catering an event, the staff at Saj Fresh go the extra mile to provide good food and service. read more

really great experience, really cheap and fast I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and will be coming to this place regulary myself read more

Saj is one of the few restaurants I've been going to since high school, and now as I get older I really love that it's still here and I am able to have my favorite meals with my family here. This place serves as nostalgia for me and they have always served great food in my opinion. I always get the same thing, combo plate with beef and chicken, tabouleh, spicy potato and babaganoush, and it has always tasted the same to me since high school, which was like 15 years ago lol. There have been some hiccups with them along the way but I feel they have gone back on course and doing better. Anyways, please give them a try if you're in the area, they are good and I love this place always. read more

My husband and I have been regular customers of Saj for over 10 years, and every time we eat at the restaurant or order takeout, we are always amazed! The quality of the food is excellent, and the Mediterranean flavors delight our senses! We love the owner's hospitality and the quality and love with which she prepares the dishes. It's our favorite place! If you're looking for a place to eat healthy and tasty food, Saj Fresh is definitely your place! read more

Super expensive for what it is and the quality provided for that price, think you can find better

Saj Fresh catered an event for us and everything was delicious. The fresh pita chips and hummus were so good! The chicken pita wrap was also delicious! Most importantly, Najwa the owner gives off pure warmth and family vibes. Would highly recommend this restaurant for your next catered event for family style delicious Mediterranean food. read more

Was all alone on a snowy day and I had the Chicken Shawarma plate with Basmati Rice and tomatoes and Cucumbers. The chicken was very tender and high quality meat and they had a delicious sesame sauce I poured on top. The owner was also making deserts and I had walked outside to my car and she handed me this delicious caramel pastry. Not sure on how healthy the pastry was but it was delicious and the rest of the mail was very healthy. I am glad I stumbled upon the place and will definitely be back when I am near Aurora read more

Love Saj for a quick and healthy lunch option! I usually go for the beef shawarma plate and my husband gets a wrap. Make sure you try the garlic sauce, it's amazing on everything. The saj bread is also really nice and a little thinner than traditional pita. The only thing missing is an option to add a little feta and Kalamata olives to a plate. I was told it would be a $6 extra charge which is steep considering the plate is $12. That price makes sense for some kind of a container full, but I was just looking for a little tablespoon sized amount over my salad and plate. I'd totally be willing to pay an extra $1 or so for it. Thankfully I have both in the fridge at home this week so I passed on that add on today. This is one of our go-to's so we'll definitely be back! read more

Some of the BEST Mediterranean / Middle Eastern food you will find in Denver. I LOVE this place. Probably my favorite pita and hummus I've ever had. And the Baklava.. so amazing! The owner made it fresh and passed out for free. One of the kindest ladies! Please check them out! read more

awesome food and good hospitalit. the owner was very nice. she made us feel like home by serving some extra stuff on side. read more

Truly the best falafel in town! It's gluten free, and they also make a delicious chocolate bundt cake - also gf!! The owner is a lovely, Palestinian woman who is welcoming to everyone who walks in the door. I will continue to drive from Denver for the delicious food and warm atmosphere. read more

This place has gotten even better! Their sides are much better now, especially the rice. The hummus is great. Felafels are delicious. Best tahini sauce in the area and their bread is made fresh and fluffy. Use their app to order and you will get discount codes. read more

Great restaurant! Been there twice already and we'll be returning. Best food we had in town with the best falafel and tabole I've ever had in my life! Really recommend this place! The staff are so friendly, you don't really want to leave the place! Thank you very much for the hospitality and the warm welcome! read more

I got take out from here a couple of days ago. I got the plate w beef. It came w rice then i had 2 sides of my choice Babaganoosh and Cabbage. The gabbage in the pic was a red cabbage, what i got was a plain green uncooked cabbage with salad dressing. The strips of beef were so dry and tough I could barely chew it. Ended up having to toss it. The rest of the food was not bad but definitely not worth $17. Very disappointing. Will not go back. read more

2 stars for the ease of ordering and creating your meal. The food: the chicken shwarma was missing the shwarma. Pita sandwich was cold, a few more minutes on the press might have worked. The service: don't expect a warm welcome. Quite the opposite. The young woman taking the order was so miserable it is palatable. The guy preparing the food had a positive attitude and should be managing the shop. Not what I was expecting and won't miss it. read more

Amazing food and very friendly, welcoming staff! I will definitely come back the next time I visit the Denver area! read more

I have been eating at Saj for 6 years now and I can say....DELICIOUS. I have food allergies and they always make sure my food is safe for me to eat. They will answer any questions you have about any item on the menu board, in detail. The owner is a lovely woman who takes pride in what she offers. I appreciate the fact that they have food that I can safely eat! I highly recommend them for a quick lunch or a yummy dinner! They also have gluten and dairy free dessert! 5 stars for sure! read more

Saj Fresh Grill - Chicken shwarma with fatoush, falafel and hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

very rude. very SLOW service. no customer service etiquette. will never come back. food is disgusting

Oh I have missed you SAJ! I stopped in for a late lunch for take out around 3:30pm. I ordered a combination falafel and gyro plate with spicy hummus, Baba ghanoush, pickles, feta and tabouli with a wheat SAJ on the side. Covid 19 take out is definitely a process and everyone is still learning. When you enter the restaurant most of the tables are pushed back. The person working there that day did share that they are allowing dine in services at some of the tables. Unfortunately SAJ did not have contactless pay. I would recommend training employees to let the customer swipe their own card to avoid having to hand their credit card to the employee. Also, it would be advised to wipe/sanitize the register screen before and after a customer uses it. It looked like it needed a cleaning. The person at the register took my card and swiped it. Even though the employees are wearing masks and gloves they still have to touch the screen and seems like there could be some cross-contamination by touching the customers card unless they sanitize their hands afterwards before preparing your food. After placing my order I decided to wait outside. I chose not to dine in and to do take out and enjoy my meal outside in the sun. Every time I visit I enjoy my delicious meal. SAJ is very consistent and I love the fresh quality! Plus today I picked up the baklava for a sweet treat. I told myself I will eat half of it and save the rest for later, but it was so delicious I ate the whole thing! Flaky Baklava with a sweet honey crunch. I loved every bite. Definitely don't forget to try their desserts. They are made fresh daily and absolutely so yummy! If you are gathering in a group less than 10 during this craziness definitely cater from them! They do an exceptional job with Catering for a group. read more

Best fresh food in Aurora amazing staff and very friendly with a positive and amazing atmosphere this is out favorite place and food.

We were looking for a vegan-friendly place to eat, which this place advertised. It's set up is like a smaller version of Chipotle. Vegan options: Falafel, jasmine rice, hummus (Reg & spicy) spicy potatoes, french fries - maybe a few other items. We really appreciated that the fries and falafel were not fried in a fryer also used for meat. One of us had (A meat dish) which had a very large portion and was reported as very good. The vegan plate I requested also was a large portion. The prices were pretty high, about $40 for 3 with only one drink. The food was good but the portions made the price worth it. One of the most intriguing things was that there was only one employee the entire time and he did EVERYTHING: welcomed, took orders, made all the food & served it. Not to mention, the eating area was very clean. We were there at least 1hr & never saw a 2nd employee. However, this person (Quincy) was really impressive, it appeared that he was accustomed to working solo. He was relaxed, un-rushed but worked fast, was friendly and helpful. It was our first time eating there and he encouraged us to take our time and answered all our questions. If we were in a rush, the wait might of bothered me, but considering he was alone, we got our food in good time. Then when he delivered it to our table, he apologized for the wait. Quincy was the secret sauce that earned this place our 5 point rating. read more

Service was great. Very accommodating to my requests. Nice portions.... But for a $22 dollar lunch plate - I ordered a beef and chicken skewer plate. Beef was so tough I could not chew it.... Chicken was not completely cooked through. Had to throw it all out. Maybe I hit it on a bad day, but it was not busy at all. read more
