Came here for a quick dinner with a friend and it was empty! Good: - Very hearty, you get a ton of food for the amount you pay - Very quick service, it's like Chipotle - Ample seating - The build your own bowl is super worth the price, I also got half salad half rice Bad: - A bit messier inside and not a super nice ambiance inside, but it's a quiet place for a catchup with friends Overall this was a good pit stop if you just want a quick meal! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Convenient and well-balanced build-your-own bowls! They give a good amount of food, and it comes with a lentil soup too. Overall tasty and good quality ingredients! I usually don't like beets but thought theirs are pretty tasty. Pomegranate chicken was a little salty for me but tasted great when eaten with the rest of the bowl. Service is fast and friendly but mostly self-serviced--you get your own water/utensils and bus your own stuff at the end. Was pretty empty Sunday dinner, lots of seating available. Guessing this place is busiest during weekday lunches? read more

Sajj always comes in clutch when I have somewhere to go after and need a quick healthy meal. I've been to some of the South Bay locations and like the chain generally. This one is actually pretty big inside and I went on a weekend with a friend before heading to Chase Center - no one was there at Sajj. Got the chicken schwarma bowl and the hummus and tzatziki really made it come together. Like the little soup on side too. Fast casual service, reliable option. read more

Having lived in the area, my partner and I used to frequent Sajj once every 2 weeks. We usually got our favorite Chicken Schwarma bowls, but have gotten the pomegranate chicken and falafel bowls as well, and it always hit the spot when we wanted a delicious and healthy meal. The workers are always friendly and it's a counter build your own bowl/wrap casual establishment. My usual rice bowl: Chicken Schwarma, a little cauliflower and eggplant, tomato cucumber salad, beets, pickles, garbanzo beans, hummus, tahini drizzle. Noteworthy: The green sauce on the side near the utensils is so good with chicken! And if you dine in store, they ask if you want complimentary lentil soup which is always comforting. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was pleasantly surprised by Sajj. Despite being a fast casual spot (think Mediterranean Chipotle) the food was very flavorful and service prompt. They have the standard customizable options of plates, wraps, salads, and bowls. I got the bowl with pomegranate chicken - it was very tasty and the quality of the meat was great. I got a couscous base but would opt for the salad next time as it was overcooked. The lentil soup was also very good. My only gripe is they upcharge for every little custom add-on, for instance $3 for a tiny sprinkle of feta cheese, and $1 for a teaspoon size cup of chutney and hot sauce. It certainly adds up and without the add-ons the entrees are rather basic. For a restaurant that has everything premade I would expect a little less in price. read more

Working in this area, SAJJ is one of my trusty lunch spots. The food is delicious and fresh - love making my own chicken shawarma bowl. The service is helpful and fast. It's a good spot for a quick bite or to order for pick up, they're always on it. I definitely recommend! read more

We have always been big fans of filling bowls and clean ingredients. We were huge chipotle and cava fan, but haven't really been going lately. Sajj was so refreshing! They were so quick. The falafels were tasty and really well made. Really crispy on the outside, soft and well cooked on the inside. The toppings were all fresh and well portioned. The best part was the sauces. All flavorful, clean and optional. The lentil soup was also tasty and refreshing. Highly highly recommend! read more

Came in for a quick dinner bite and left feeling very full and satisfied. I got the "make your own" bowl, after the nice gentleman let me try both the chicken shwarma and pomegranate chicken. I went with the chicken shwarma, and got the couscous, hummus, and a crap ton of veggies. You could add whatever you wanted at a fixed price. I then also got a cup of lentil soup. The portion was huge and the food was delicious. So glad I came! read more

Amazingly fresh and tasty food! Order at the counter, starting at the left and working your way to the right as you tell the person making your meal what you want and how you want it. As for me, I went with the chicken shawarma and falafel combo with rice, greens and loads of toppings-- beet, pickles, cauliflower, olives, tomato and cucumber, hummus, tzatziki etc topped with delicious sauce. It's a lot of food, and I enjoyed every bite. I loved the pickled vegetables, and I hope they keep that going. I ordered the fried and wasn't super excited about them; wish they were more fresh. You bring your food to the table on a tray and they deliver the fries. Seems they source a lot of products from local farmers which is great. The space is clean, the tables and seats nothing fancy. I'll be back for the food and if I'm not with a friend or my girlfriend I'll probably take the food to go and sit in the park. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Falafel and shawarma chicken with loads of toppings, fresh and delish - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

An excellent hole in the wall. We had two excellent salad bowls. They were filling and full of well seasoned chicken and other interesting ingredients. I don't get to that neighborhood often, but will be back when I do. read more

I placed an order for a falafel bowl and was really looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. My order was made quickly and the staff were really nice! The order came with a bowl and complimentary cup of soup. The soup was flavorful and warm. It reminded me more of broth than of soup. The bowl was big and a good sized portion. They are generous with the toppings which I appreciate. However, the food seriously lacked flavor. The rice was under seasoned. The falafel was under seasoned and not warm. My favorite part was the green sauce that I had to pay extra for, but even that wasn't anything special. I was disappointed and don't think I would come back. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I went here with a friend for lunch around 3pm on a Saturday and there was no wait! The restaurant was almost empty and a bit dark inside when we arrived. Anyways, I chose to build my own meal using the Steak Shawarma Rice Bowl, while my friend got the Chicken Wrap Bites. It was cool how both of our meals also came with a Lentil Soup. Since it was our first time trying this place, we also decided to get the Strawberry Lemonade and Mint Lemonade as our drinks and decided to get the Chocolate Hummus & Cinnamon Chips and Salted Caramel Cookie items since both of those items sounds unique. Ok now about the food, all of the entree items tasted good, but the dessert items felt too sweet for me. That salted caramel cookie was very sweet with hard chunks of caramel, but I'm glad I was able to wash it down with lemonade. It was also my first time trying chocolate hummus and I thought it's cool because it reminded me of a popular chocolate spread used on bread. I'd recommend this place! It can be a little confusing when you first visit here (I had trouble ordering). It also felt like they have a wide variety of items to choose from, since I had no idea they had wraps until my friend ordered it! read more

This place is awesome! Their food is clean and tasty. The portions are big. It's pretty inexpensive as well for what you get. They also have an awesome rewards program. Definitely a go to spot for whenever i need to grab some lunch in the area. read more

If you love Mediterranean food as much as I do, then I definitely recommend trying this place out. There's something special about sharing a plate of fresh, flavorful food, and Sajj Street Eats delivers that experience in a quick and convenient way. Basically a Mediterranean version of Chipotle but better. They offer bowls, plates, wraps, and more! Their side tables are stocked with mint chutney and peri hot sauce as well, perfect for adding an extra kick to your dish and customizing your food the way you like. They also have plenty of vegetarian options for those who prefer no meat. I was genuinely impressed by the quality here, and the two of us who shared left completely satisfied. If you're craving a meal that's quick and flavorful, Sajj Street Eats won't disappoint! Service was quick and convenient, they also gave us a complimentary soup :) The restaurant also offered lots of seating and was clean which I appreciated. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm obsessed with the falafel at Sajj and am so happy it's so close to my office for a quick lunch. I like their falafel wrap bites that comes with their perfectly crispy and delectable fries. The wrap bites are a wrap cut up into sections so it's easy to eat and dip into the tahini sauce. The falafel is really tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. They have an app with rewards points that's super easy to use for pickup. Lentil soup is also good. They have seating inside as well if you want to eat there! read more

Good and tasty food Lots of choices Quick service Easy access by foot Reasonable prices for San Francisco read more

Very very delicious and insanely fast service! I ordered the falafel bowl and crispy pita chips with hummus as a side. Let me first say that my order was ready within 5 mins of placing my order on ubereats. I was able to grab it and be in and out in time for my meetings. They also don't go light on the toppings and fill up the bowl with all the works. The falafel was also delicious and creamy (which was great considering falafel can often be a little dry). The pita chips are also addicting and so delicious when dipped in the hummus and in the bowl. The staff is also very friendly and there is some seating inside if you want to enjoy your food there (I personally got mine to go)! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Falafel Rice Bowl Gluten Free - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love me some Mediterranean food especially when you can mix and match different items in a bowl! I was visiting a friend and they recommended SAJJ and I am so glad they did. We came a little after noon and didn't see too crazy of a line but once 12:30 hit the line was out the door. Be sure to come before or order ahead to avoid the rush! If you're dining in person they give you a cup of soup which I highly recommend because it's so warm and flavorful for being so simple. It paired well with the schwafle bowl I got with chicken. The chicken here was flavorful but the falafel was delicious with the hummus and garlic sauce they put on top. You can easily fill your bowl with greens, veggies, rice, etc and you won't feel guilty doing so. They have plenty of other sauces you can pair with your bowl if you're feeling saucy. I was only able to finish half of my bowl but SAJJ is a wonderful option if you want something flavorful and on the healthier side of options in the area. I got a side of the pita and it was OK so I would recommend getting a bowl with the turmeric rice instead! read more

As with other Sajj spots, this place is amazing and hospitable. The staff greets you in warmly and offers to explain the menu if this is your first time or if you have any questions. The food was on point, although I felt I've enjoyed the pomegranate chicken more in other locations. Great portions too! We dined in as a group of 6, and I totally appreciated the benches they had towards the entrance as it gave us adequate seating. Towards the end of our time here, the Arabic music playlist kicked in and boy was I really nostalgic hearing some of their music 9.5/10 in my book, and will be coming back again when I visit the city in the future. read more

First time at SAJJ and I had the l chicken shawarma rice bowl. I work around the corner and decided to try somewhere new for lunch and I was not disappointed! Great portion size and friendly service! Clean restaurant and plenty of opening seating around lunchtime. 16$ for the bowl and a complimentary cup of the lentil soup. The cilantro mint chutney was a highlight of the meal I will definitely be coming back, very conveniently located near Oracle park read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken shawarma bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

** The following review reflects my delivery experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** I had been meaning to try this Mediterranean spot in South Beach for some time prior to the pandemic but never did. Now deep into shelter-in-place, I thought I should give delivery a try. It was a rainy Saturday night, so things must have been hopping. The downside of experiencing a restaurant solely through a delivery app is that there is a lengthy delay in discovering when their menu has been depleted. That's what happened to me when I originally ordered the $13 Vegan Trio Bowl. Sadly I found out an hour later they were unable to prepare it. At least I was contacted to see if I wanted an alternative, but through the process of elimination, I landed on the $10 Mezze Platter (photo: https://bit.ly/3pyTqkt). When It arrived, it came carefully packaged as if it was already made and refrigerated. I don't hold that aspect against the restaurant as these are unwieldy times. Fortunately for me, the flavors and careful preparation still shone through. It consisted of equal parts Hummus (creamy and almost luxuriant), Babaganoush (chunky and most satisfying), and Tzatziki (the right yogurt-like consistency). Bringing it all together was one very fluffy pita quartered into wedges (photo: https://bit.ly/36nHU40). The only regret was not having more pita for scooping purposes, but they probably did me a favor by not giving me more carbs than I could handle. I think the next time, I'll contact the restaurant directly so I'm not wasting my time waiting for an order that isn't coming. FOOD - 4 stars...exceptional for Mediterranean basics AMBIANCE - n/a...just a delivery so no comment SERVICE - 4 stars...restaurant is 4, delivery service is...well TOTAL - 4 stars...worthy of a real visit when all is said and done RELATED - Hungry for Mediterranean? Here's a collection of places I've tried and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2Evmcwa read more

Food was yummy yummy. Good toppings selection. Bathroom was nast. Drink tasted like sugar. But wow mmm food

Classic SAJJ location with an off the street outdoor seating area albeit a very windy one. The bowl is tasty as always and the portions are plentiful. My experience here is in-line with other SAJJ locations in the Bay Area and they seem to get quite a lot of business. I'd come back if I'm craving Mediterranean food and I'm in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. I recommend trying this place at least once! It's definitely a top choice for those who work nearby because the food is good, plentiful, and affordable! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Steak Shawarma Rice Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Updating my review from my previous encounter. Whenever places like this have good reviews and they get a 1/2 star review, it's normally a fluke. Though this first issue was unacceptable, the owner handled it extremely well. He reached out to me personally and offered a free meal to (hopefully) have a good experience here - and I did!! We ordered through the app which was pretty simple. We got the family meal, fries, steak side, and chicken hummus. First of all, the food is delicious!! (I mentioned this in my first review too - their food is good) The chicken and steak were so soft and juicy. The hummus is good and none of the food this time was oily. The fries were kind of soft but it tastes like real potato and not crazy deep fried. Second, their food is a lot of bang for the buck. Look at the photo! This is the family meal and was only $40. As a family of four, we really only needed this. We got a lot more stuff which made this meal last us forever. The only reason I didn't update to 5 stars is because I'd have to order again (and get a build your own bowl) to accurately say how it went the second time. But for the quantity and tastiness, this place is worth it! The first incident was a fluke and while it was unacceptably, it shouldn't deter you from trying this place out!! read more

How I love thee let me count the ways, the falafel mixed green bowl is my jam for sure. I love the spices that the sides are cooked in, the falafels are always crunchy on the outside and super soft and fresh on the inside, the hummus is delicious and all the extras make this beauty even tastier. All the flavors and spices combined together are like a big happy party in my mouth, so so yummy. The staff is so nice as well and the portions are generous. Really enjoy eating here.

SAJJ Mediterranean - Falafel bowl w all vegan add ons. It comes w soup - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

In the pursuit for a meal that reminds of home with authentic flavors, textures hospitality, and customization, SAJJ Mediterranean is the leader in the bay area. This build your own style spot takes your shawarma, rice plate, and salad bowl to the next level by letting you add everything you're looking for. With great power comes great responsibility and SAJJ does not disappoint. My go to is a rice bowl, half beef, half falafel, all the pickles, extra hummus, extra toum, and all the garnishes! The amazing thing about sajj's staff is they're kind and quick, the food is prime and rivals my mother's recipes. The location is amazing, so pick up a bowl before the next ball game! I hope more locations open up, and I can't wait to see what SAJJ's social media team is doing to hype their business. Their time is now and their food is amazing! read more

SAJJ is like a mediterranean chipotle, so you get to build your own bowls or pitas! I love how customizable it is and all the variety of meats, sides, and toppings. I got a chicken shawarma bowl with sumac cauliflower and roasted eggplant with a bunch of veggies and hummus. The food was pretty tasty but it is somewhat expensive since a bowl is around $16. I also got fries on the side and they forgot/burned them in the fryer so it took a while for them to get it to me. read more

I had the hummus and naan bread. It was just ok. The Hummus was not very flavorful. I would have like it to have garlic or some other flavor. My coworkers liked the food otherwise and seem to really enjoy it. read more

I tried Sajj Mediterranean for the first time this week and I reallllly like it! I got a chicken shawarma rice bowl and it was soo flavorful and tasty. You can kind of say it's like chipotle for Mediterranean food. You choose your protein or veggies, then you choose the rice bowl or wrap or pita bread etc, then you can choose any topics you want on that. I chose a lot of different sauces which made my bowl flavorful. Would definitely recommend not adding TOO many toppings, personally I feel that it messes up the overall flavor that way. But pretty tasty! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - two people preparing food in a restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Your typical "build-your-meal" casual food. Think Chipotle but Mediterranean and with more options. Also, extra points for hilarious wall decor. Great value. I got a salad bowl with shawafel (shawarma + falafel for the indecisive folks like me) and wanted to try all of the toppings so I did! I got tzatziki and hummus, and some spicy tahini for sauce. It's super customizable. The best parts of my bowl were definitely the chicken shawarma, falafel, hummus, and tzatziki. I personally didn't enjoy the cauliflower and the eggplant was just alright, so I won't get those next time. Great for a quick and filling lunch! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - A famous quote by Sesame - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

6/24/2020 Quarantine Day 100 I was at SAJJ Mediterranean with my friend for dinner. She was doing a food collaboration with SAJJ and invited me to come. I had not seen my friend since last year so it was really nice to hang out again. During the normal days, parking would have been a nightmare given the location, BUT I was able to find a spot right in front. There was only two staff working that day. We were greeted and when my friend confirmed the collaboration, we proceeded to create our Mediterranean meals. Now, this is my first time at this SAJJ location; the first one I went to was the one in San Bruno. Here's what we ordered: 1. Chicken Shawafel bowl (hers) 2. Steak Shawarma pita bread (mine) I got the tamarind drink and my friend got lemonade. Each entree is given a small lentil soup; I don't eat a lot of lentils but I really liked the flavor. You can't really see what's inside my pita wrap but I pretty much stuffed it as much as I could with the toppings and boy was it delicious! This meal was such a nice change from the usual Chinese food my parents cook that I've been eating during this whole SIP. The ingredients are fresh and healthy; the meat is juicy, not dry. And you feel perfectly full with that one meal. Will be back for my next Mediterranean food craving :p read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Steak Shawarma pita bread with a Chicken Shawafel bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sajj is one of my favorite places to go for a quick and tasty meal, when I still want to feel good about myself afterwards. I usually get a salad bowl with falafel and alllll the toppings, and there's definitely enough to stretch it for two meals- as long as I don't devour it all at once. Their falafel is honestly some of the best I've ever had. It's always fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The other proteins they have are also good, but I love the falafel too much to not get it every time. I also love how many toppings they have, make sure to try the eggplant, and all of the spreads. The only downside is that it seems like they give you a lot more food if you order in person vs. online. The service was kind of rushed, but it's understandable that the workers want to get customers in and out without too long of a wait. I love this place and I will be back soon! read more

You really can't go wrong with Sajj. I've been here religiously pre-pandemic, and then been to many other locations that are more convenient to me during the pandemic. The food is always reliably delicious, filling, with great variety. What I love about Sajj is all the customizable additions to your bowl, wrap, or pita. It's not just a simple "what kind of rice, beans or salsa" like in Chipotle, but more meaningful choices like cauliflower, roast eggplant, sumac onions, salad mix, marinated beets, to count a few of my favourites. I always end up with a large bowl of a variety of vegetables and I love it. Each entree comes with delicious lentil soup -- some of my coworkers don't like lentils so I'm always getting free soup, which is great for me -- and make sure you get their chili sauce to tune up the heat. They've been making it easy for pick up during the pandemic as well, and it's easily one of our go-tos! read more

We all liked it. We had the Chicken Shawarma (also a falafel shawarma) in a sajj wrap ( lavash bread) and the steak shawarma in pita bread. You get to pick your ingredients ala chipotle style The cup of free lentil soup was really good. And the chimichurri condiment green sauce provided was delicious We went on a Sunday at noon and I don't know why they are open. Because nobody is around to eat here. The people working here were very nice read more

Mediterranean goodness!! I always go for the chicken shawarma rice bowl with cauliflower, mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, cabbage, tzaziki, and garlic spread. Get the garlic spread!! Then mix it all together + add sauces they have on the side. There are tons of additional options to choose from too. I only get ~half the options. For $11.75, this is a good deal! The entrees come with complimentary soup FYI! When they ask if you want soup, say yes! Check in for the free pita chips! read more
