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?

not a fan honestly, service wasn't great. kind of like cava but not as good. Got the steak salad. Moves very quickly for a grab and go lunch.

got a bowl here for lunch and it was pretty good! the falafel could've been cooked a little more but loved how you can customize the veggies and toppings

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.

Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl

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.

i've did it!! i love sajj just the same, will prob need a break though. i found that my dad sauce was the non spicy tahini

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!

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.

Falafel and shawarma chicken with loads of toppings, fresh and delish
Blair P.

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.

Strawberry Lemonade & Mint Lemonade
Elaine N.

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!

We eat a bit early around 4-5pm so there was plenty of seating in the large spacious restaurant. Staff was polite and sat us right away. They served water and a complimentary plate of olives and pickled radishes. Uniquely decorated the vibe was really pleasant. Large windows along the street made it bright and open. We ordered. Beef Kofta plate, Beef and Lamb Shawarma plate, Falafel and pita bread. Free but just ok the olives and radish was underwhelming but I still ate them HA! The pita bread was fair but we still ate them with the dips served along side. The winner overall were the Falafels which came to the table last but I'm telling you they were hot and super delicious not to mention they are very good size which was unexpected. The Beef and Lamb shawarma was very tasty but a tad dry. Luckily it comes with you choice of side dishes which we got baba ganoush when paired with the meat and pita oh so good!! The Beef Kofta was da bomb. Moist seasoned ground beef kabobs grilled to perfection. You can taste the flavor imparted by the grill. Meat was juicy and delicious. $70 plus tip for all this food was a good deal. Note they charge 3% for credit card which these days is becoming more common.

Amazing food, cute and casual ambiance, and amazing service!…read more We had the Arabic coffee, a mixed kabab platter, and the half & half (half hummus, half rice). The chicken kabob was so tender and flavorful -- definitely my favorite! If you're someone who doesn't have a high tolerance for spice, this place is perfect because the flavors are delicious without being overwhelmingly spicy. And personally, the Arabic coffee was the highlight for me! It's honestly one of the best coffees I've had so far. Loved everything about this experience and would definitely come back!

Then took our order. Afterwards, brought us pita bread with tomato sauce with chunks of onion and tzatziki sauce. Pita was warm and the sauces were outstanding. We ordered Chicken Shawarma plate with half rice and hummus and Lamb shish kebab sandwich. The shawarma was delicious! First time I saw it in yellow color. Maybe the turmeric. Chicken was moist and tender, lots of different spices. Rice was cooked perfectly and the hummus was hearty and savory. Really amazing hummus, probably the best I ever had. My hubby had the lamb sandwich and really enjoyed it. Only issue is that, the fried eggplant was missing. Instead, it was bell pepper. He was excited to have the eggplant but did not work out. He said that it needed a little more spices in the lamb. It was missing a punch there somewhere, lol. Overall we enjoyed the food. Everyone was very nice and attentive. Would like to try their other dishes in the future.

The service was friendly and welcoming even when our party came at different times. The restaurant wasn't busy given it was a Monday evening, so you would think it would go smoothly. *** OUR PICKS *** COMBO APPETIZER PLATTER ~ hummus, baba ghanouj, haydari, ezme, dolmas, merimek, falafel ~ parts of the platter were cold while the falafel was warm, but they topped it off with a sauce that didn't keep the falafel crispy, instead it softened it. I think the sauce should have been on the side. The rest of the dish was good. 4/5 LAMB KEBAB PLATE ~ this was my dish. I touched my skewers thinking they were going to be hot, but it was surprisingly cold. I'm not sure why skewers would be cold when the food should be hot right off the grill. The lamb was cooked medium rare as I requested, though there was little to no seasoning. So it was kind of gamey and tasteless 3/5 RACK OF LAMB PLATE ~ my partner chose this dish. The lamb was also very light in seasoning. The pistachio rice was interesting and nutty. Asparagus was good. 3.5/5 MIXED GRILL PLATE ~ our friend enjoyed this dish. Maybe a mixed grill is the way to go and some meats cooked and seasoned better than others. 4/5 BEEF KEBAB PLATE ~ the beef was also room temperature and lightly seasoned. 3.5/5 SALMON ~ I tried some of this and it was decent. 4/5 BAKLAVA & CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE ~ Nice birthday surprise and a sweet way to end the meal. Baklava wasn't as crispy or flaky as some I've had, but the honey-pistachio nuts were good. Chocolate mousse cake was decadent and moist. 4/5 Beautiful presentation on the plating of our food, though the timing for the food wasn't quite right as a few plates were served room temperature and not hot. However, the surprise desserts were a nice touch in helping us celebrate a birthday!

The Shawarma Combo Plate came with both chicken shawarma and lamb/beef shawarma, marinated, grilled strips of meat, topped with toum and green tahini, and served with yellow rice, arugula salad, hummus, and grilled slices of pita. The Combo Kebab Plate was an equally delicious collection of three grilled meat kebabs--I chose the chicken shish tawook, the lamb shish kebab, and the ground beef kafta. My favorite components of these dishes were the falafel and hummus, which went perfectly together with the grilled pita and the flavorful condiments. But a final favorite dish of mine was the Zahra Be Laben, a stew of fried cauliflower and tender cubes of lamb in a warm garlic yogurt sauce, served with yellow rice and pita bread on the side. The best part of this dish was the yogurt sauce, which was perfectly creamy, savory, and tangy, and which went perfectly with the other components. Overall, the flavors of the food here were all on point and worth the price. The service, however, was slow and not particularly attentive.

They have a menu behind the counter that lists out all of the GF modifications (which is so helpful) just ask for it. You can also join the waitlist on yelp, which is a big time saver and so convenient. Why 3 stars then? I feel like they have become a victim of their own success. This place is tiny and it is PACKED. We were quoted a 70 minute wait time on a Sunday night. When our name finally came up we were offered a tiny table inside (outside table sidewalks are where you want to be, more room, good people watching) that could have fit two fine but was going to be a squeeze for 3 adults. We opted to wait for a bigger table/outside spot. Once you get a table then you have to go inside and wait in line to order. The space is small so expect to get bumped from every direction. The person behind the register was obviously stressed out and could not have been less friendly or less helpful. I asked for a glass of cabernet and she just said, we don't have it and stared at me. I asked if she could suggest another option and she did but it was a struggle. All of the workers seemed miserable. No one smiled, everyone seemed overworked and it was so hard to flag someone down if say your steak came out entirely raw, which mine did. It seems like the workers are either not getting the training or the support that they need to allow the overall experience to be good as the food.
