    Steak Shawarma
    Charlene D.

    I haven't had Mediterranean food in awhile, so this place made me try something new. The staff was nice and fast working. We enjoyed the steak shawafel and the steak sharwma! Flavor was good. I found the mint lemonade refreshing and add more flavor to my meal. Would recommend, the space is clean and plenty of seating choices. Came here on a Sunday evening FYI!

    Stopped at this spot on my way to wine country. It's located right off the freeway in a big complex. I've been to a different location of Sajj, but it's been a few years. I like this sort of "Chipotle model" where you can get what you want in either bowl or wrap form. One of the things I like the most is the huge variety of different toppings you can get, including pickled vegetables, sauces, and spreads. I ended up saying, "I want everything," and it made my bowl more than I could eat at one time. But everything was delicious and fresh. Also, everything comes with a cup of soup, which is pretty good. I like how they have a vegetarian and healthy options. It was a little bit pricey, about $18. If I hadn't been on a road trip, I could have taken it home and had two meals for that price. Definitely a quick spot for lunch, a few tables inside to sit at.

    Love their food and system. It's an easy in and out, and you get to pick what you want. For me...it is pomegranate chicken. rice and a lot of toppings. The food was a 5 but I was waited on by a super grumpy woman who seemed mad and did not say a word or crack a smile the whole time, which was off putting.

    I was really missing CAVA and was looking for something like it in the Bay Area. I found Sajj in San Bruno which other reviewers said had a similar feel, but I don't think Sajj is quite up to the mark despite charging CAVA-like prices. I got the chicken shawarma and what I received was well and truly a "slop" bowl with flavors that don't really mix well together. The only positive here was that they give you a free portion of lentil soup which I thought was a nice touch.

    This place checks all the boxes. Healthy options? Check. Full of flavor? You bet. Options for everybody (including kids)? Yes. Not to leave out customer service for a great value. The quality of what you're getting, wholesome ingredients and with a solid portion make this a slam dunk. Home run.

    Sajj Mediterranean continues to impress with its exceptional service and inviting ambiance, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. The staff's attentiveness and the restaurant's pleasant atmosphere consistently contribute to a positive visit. The Salad Bowl with steak is a highly recommended choice, delivering on both flavor and freshness. Coupled with the complimentary lentil soup, it provides a delicious and satisfying meal that keeps diners coming back. It's clear that Sajj Mediterranean maintains its high standards, offering delectable food and a welcoming environment that enhances the overall dining experience for all its patrons. Maria served me and she gave excellent service!

    Sometimes, you just have to try something again and again until you develop a taste for it. I had never been a huge fan of some Mediterranean dishes, Hummus, Falafel, Baba Ghanoush were dishes that I usually passed on. Then some friends introduced me to a "new" Mediterranean restaurant near our house that was fantastic. So, now I'm trying to expand my knowledge and experience. My mom has frequent doctor's appointments nearby SAJJ, so we decided to give them a try. We had our dog with us, so we needed to be seated outside. Looking on yelp and using the filter to find outdoor seating, we saw the ratings were decent. Driving up, we saw that they had two outdoor tables but we only needed one for the three of us plus the dog. We looked over the menu and I placed the order using the QR Code. When I got to the end of the transaction, I needed to have my wife go inside and let them know that our order was to be eaten on premises and not packaged to go. When the food was ready, everything was delivered to our table. Here's what we got: Drinks - Diet Coke, Strawberry Lemonade, Water (my mom always wants hot water, but they apparently don't serve it?). The Strawberry Lemonade was a bit on the sweet side but it was nice and refreshing. Diet Coke is Diet Coke. Lentil Soup - 5 - This comes free with every combination order. It was a bit on the thin side but it was very flavorful. Something I could drink every night during winter. Pomegranate Chicken Plate - 3 - All of the accompaniments were good but the Chicken itself did not have any discernable pomegranate flavor. Chicken Shawarma Plate - 3 - Some of the chicken appeared to be undercooked as it was pink. Steak Shawarma Plate - 3 - I found the meat to be over cooked and over seasoned. I think that had we had simply skipped the meats, we would have been happier overall. Bottom line, would we come here again? Yes, but veggy only. The Lentil Soup, Tumeric Rice, Cous Cous, Hummus, Tzatziki, Tomato Cucumber Mix, Diced Pickles, Pita Chips and Pita Bread are all winners.

    Ordered via the app for the first time. But I didn't see the $5 off first order until after so couldn't use the coupon. You can create your own plate or choose from specific bowls. Ordered the vegan bowl and was pleasantly surprised with the food. The plate came with, salad, 2 falafels, pickles, hummus, pita bread, rice/eggplant/garbonzo beans for $14.95. They have a station for utensils, napkins, water and sauces. The service was nice for pickup. They had the order ready before the suggested pickup time. My only complaint is that the red hot sauce is very salty. Plenty of parking Definitely will be back

    Chicken Shwafel Salad Bowl and Lentil Soup
    Mike L.

    You know, there are countless aspects of pre-COVID life that I really miss, but one of the things that I surprisingly miss the most are some of the eateries by my old office. Obviously, I can still go back to the ones that are still around, but it's different making a point of it versus just walking the few blocks over there. What's even more surprising is that of the bunch, one of the places I miss the most is Sajj! Don't get me wrong - I've always been a fan, but I never visited them as often as some of my other regular spots because the line was always so long. However, now that I've discovered this location with nary a wait? It's like getting to relive those experiences but without the hassle! Funny enough, even though I've always been curious about their wraps, pita breads, and salad bowls, I've never ordered anything at Sajj other than their rice bowls. No particular reason why, other than it's the easiest to reheat if I ever have leftovers. However, being at a new location, it felt appropriate to also try try something different. So, in this case, I opted to get a CHICKEN SHWAFEL SALAD BOWL (Chicken Shwarma and Falafel) with pretty much all of the toppings - Mixed Greens, Tzatziki, Hummus, Garlic Spread, Sumac Cauliflower, Tomato Cucumber Mix, Cabbage, Garbanzo Beans, Diced Pickles, Diced Beets, Sumac Onions, Cherry Peppers, and Lemon Olive Oil Dressing. With such a long list of components, it's no wonder how, all together, this ends up being a fairly hefty salad - and that's before even mentioning the three Falafels and the seemingly generous amount of Chicken Shwarma underneath it all. Other than how I should've asked for less of the garlic spread (very garlicky), everything blended together really well. All of the veggies were fresh (other than the pickles because pickles), the Falafels stayed crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the Chicken Shwarma was quite flavorful. I wish I had asked for some tahini to be drizzled on as well, but it's not like my salad didn't have enough going on already. Regardless of whether you get a wrap, pita bread, salad bowl, or a rice bowl, though, the absolute best part of just about any meal at Sajj is their Lentil Soup. I'm not sure what they put into it, but I wouldn't be shocked if crack was one of the ingredients. Which is kind of crazy, because I don't remember it tasting this good at the Sajj by my old office. Although, maybe I just enjoyed it that much more this time because I knew my entire afternoon wasn't going to be spent sitting in a bunch of meetings that could've been an email instead. All in all, FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

    Vegan plate
    Bhagyashree B.

    I ordered the vegan plate through Doordash which turned out to be perfectly packed balance of deliciousness and healthy food. The plate includes salad with a sweet and sour vinaigrette, boiled chickpeas, eggplants, rice, hummus, 2 falafels and diced pickles. The pita bread was served whole and cold so would have liked it to be in smaller pieces (as shown in the Doordash pic) and warmed to make it easier to eat. Overall, impressed by the tasty good and quick service.

    BIG shawafel bowl, free soup, and tamarind drink!
    Rebecca G.

    I was lucky enough to win a gift card to SAJJ years ago when we lived in San Francisco. I loved it then and still do. I haven't been in years since there aren't any locations near us. However, we were looking to get lunch with my mother-in-law before dropping her off at SFO and spotted that there was a SAJJ nearby. Ooo! It was a good excuse to return! We had a great meal here. One of the first things I spotted was that if you download the app, you get $5 off on your first visit. Score! So, I downloaded the app and it was quick and easy. I didn't need to order in the app either which was great. I love the build-it counter style, so I chose a bowl with the steak/lamb shawafel (includes bonus falafel!). I chose a 50/50 blend of rice and salad, and pretty much all of the toppings and sauces! I loved the cauliflower topping in my bowl. Plus, I came away with a big hunk of a bowl, which left me lunch for the following day! I also ordered the Tamarind drink which was good, but too sweet. I wish it was more sour/tangy like I had at Shawarmaji in Oakland. Oh well... I checked in on Yelp and I saw there was a free check-in offer! Wow! I rarely see those these days, so that was pretty exciting! The check-in offer was for free pita chips and dip. I chose the hummus because our son loves hummus. The pita chips were really good; they were obviously so much better than ones you get in a bag at a super market. The entrees also come with a free side of soup! It was super nice to have that as a starter on a chilly day. It was really yummy too. I love soup. All 4 of us really enjoyed our meals here. My mother-in-law really liked her pomegranate chicken bowl. I was excited to leave with leftovers as well which made a great lunch the following day. The staff were kind as well. Overall, SAJJ was as great as I remember...maybe better? The free soup, plus the $5 off on the app, and the Yelp check-in really hit it out of the park for me. I just wish there was a location closer to us, but this location, we'll certainly keep in mind again when we need to go to SFO!

    Brittany K.

    Huge, yummy, and fresh! I picked up my order for lunch and staff were friendly. I got a chicken shawarma bowl with two falafels on salad (mixed greens). There are a bunch of topping options, many free, but I got: arugula, tomato cucumber mix, cabbage, Kalamata olives, pickles, beets, sumac onion, spicy cherry peppers, mint, tzatziki, and tahini on the side. I loved the tzatziki , and highly recommend it all!

    Menu

    Great place to grab a quick bite! Healthier than fast food and cheaper than grabbing readymade at Mollie Stone's, which lead me here. Chicken kabobs not listed on the menu but luckily the employee walked me through what's available in the trays -great service! Tables, floor, and food area/open kitchen are clean. Chose a salad bowl, can't believe all the sides/toppings are included (extra charge for avocado/guac and feta toppings). Was prepared to pay extra for hummus and garlic spread. Now that I know it's included, I'm definitely coming back!! There's even a small complimentary soup, if you'd like.

    Does the SB location have the $8 meal deal with student ID like the San Mateo location?

    Hello I work out locally at the gym nearby and I was wondering if this place was under previous ownership? Also what is the cooking style for example Lebanese?

    There was a mediterranean restaurant there before, however this is all new and I think all new owners. I know saying the food is Mediterranean is very broad, however I do believe it is a mix of different influences.

    Does this location have an area to sit down and eat their meal like the one in San Mateo?

    Yes, they have about 10 tables (the ones that seat 4) inside.

    Is it halal?

    Yes, SAJJ is certified Halal!

I love the contrast of hot and cold, as well as crisp textures with bold flavors. I ordered the beef and lamb plate, and it was outstanding, the meat was tender and packed with flavor. The salad was refreshing, and the hummus was creamy with a rich, nutty taste. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. My friends ordered the same, one with pita and one as a wrap. The plate and wrap portions were generous, though the pita felt a bit on the smaller side. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting, and the staff is friendly. I'll definitely be coming back! :)

There were some other places that I wanted to try more but they were closed for Christmas Eve. Not a lot of parking but I found one right in front of the store. Have to pay, didn't know that, thankfully i got out within 10 minutes before I got a ticket. I ordered a combo plate since I didn't really know what to get. I didn't get to eat it until 2 hours later and I had to microwave it, still very flavorful! The rice has a good amount of salt, and all the meats were easy to bite through, not tough at all. My only complaint would be that I feel like it might be better complimented with a sauce. It was my first time so I didn't know if they typically give any sauces. I think I saw some hot sauce on the tables (unless that was ketchup). Very good and would try again!

    Came to Boiling Beijing again recently for Mother's Day…read more We got a ton of items - their cold noodle, fish, Peking duck, vegetables, appetizers, and more. Everything was delicious. Standout was definitely the Peking duck - super tasty, generous portions, and they prepared the duck 3 ways, including a delicious soup with the bones. Price was very reasonable given quality and quantity. Service was friendly and prompt despite the restaurant being absolutely packed for dinner. It did get pretty loud inside, but that's to be expected given how full it was. Lots of large tables and families eating together.

    We called ahead to reserve for a 7pm seating (the last seating for Peking Duck) for a table of 5…read more It was so so busy in there with a lot of people crowded around the hostess table. You need to check in and let them know you arrived so they can put you in the queue to be seated. Even though we arrived at 6:45 we didn't get seated until 7:15 (aka no point in arriving early if you have a reservation). The Peking Duck is what they are famous for and deservedly so. It is so so good and the presentation is beautiful. Skin is crispy, meat is tender, wrappers are thin. They give you an option to have the Duck remains (bones and left over meat) to be made into a soup or stir fry and we opted for the soup. It was so clean and healthy tasting. One of the best places for Peking duck in the bay. A must try

While some dishes felt a bit milder and less authentic to an Indian palate, the overall taste was still good and approachable.

The ambience is cozy and works well for a relaxed family dinner or small gathering. Seating inside is somewhat limited, but the comfortable atmosphere helps make up for it.
