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!

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
Alice W.

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.

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!

I have been eating at Beit Rima since they first opened, and they remain one of my absolute…read morefavorite spots in the Bay Area. Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food is a staple for me, and the depth of flavor here is unmatched--owner Samir's family recipes, especially for the dips, truly stand out from anywhere else. Because most of my family is vegetarian, we have tried virtually everything on the menu over the years, and you honestly cannot go wrong with a single item. Beit Rima has also been my go-to for catering across every kind of occasion--from my kids' birthday parties and relaxed family gatherings to a formal leadership dinner I hosted recently. I have served their food to guests from all different backgrounds, and it is a massive hit every single time. Whether you are dropping in for a casual meal or catering a special event, the consistency, quality, and warmth of the food never disappoints.

We came on a Saturday around 6pm. We came just in time as the line behind us started forming…read morequickly around this time. You have to go inside to check in through the Yelp waitlist. The spacing is small but cute. Once they seat you, you have to go up to the register to place your order. The service was alright, they were busy so took a while before someone could take my order in the front. Now onto the food here is my ranking for each: Fried halloumi 5/5: probably my favorite dish of the whole meal! It was warm and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. There was a slight sweetness to it that I enjoyed with the saltiness of the cheese. Hangar steak 4/5: my second favorite dish, it was cooked well and the sauce helped with adding a good amount of flavor. I was not a fan of the grain that it came along with and I wish the steak was seasoned itself a little more. You definitely need the green sauce to help with that. Lamb shank 3.5/5: the first few bites were good! The lamb itself was cooked perfectly that it fell off the bone. The sauce was also very flavorful but after a while you just taste the acidity with not much else to balance it. I started getting tired of the flavor the cooler it got. It was good but I definitely had better lamb shank dishes than this at other restaurants. Hand kneaded bread 2/5: the bread itself was good - soft and chewy however the seasoning was just a bit heavy handed. I ended up scraping some of it off so I don't get overwhelmed by the za'atar Lemonade 2/5: your basic lemonade, nothing special. I think I would come back and try more of their side dishes as that was what I saw other people order and enjoy more of. The main dishes were good but not amazing. I've definitely had better at other places. Overall it was a nice vibe.

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!

We came here for lunch last Saturday. Place is very cute inside. Love the decor…read more We were seated at the window right away and the server brought us water, olives and pickled radish. 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.

Stopped by for lunch with friends after our Double Black run. Really enjoyed our meal here…read more Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor, and you can tell there is a lot of care that goes into the food. We tried a few different dishes and enjoyed everything we ordered. The flavors were well balanced and the portions were generous enough to share, which made it easy to try a little bit of everything. The service was also warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. It's the kind of place that feels casual enough for a quick meal but still special enough to sit down and really enjoy dinner. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well (with heat lamps for the colder SF nights). Parking in the area can be challenging, would suggest to come for lunch instead of dinner.

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.

It was like eating in a private garden, surrounded by a nice floral arrangement. The food was superb. Highest quality. The salad appetizers were fresh & crunchy. The feta cheese & small lavash breads were a great way to start. See the mains in the photos. My lamb chops & beef/lamb skewer was excellent. My sons raved about their salmon & beef. The rice was perfect: real longer grained basmati, delicately spiced, with hints a saffron. I loved the roasted tomato, raw onions, cilantro, & mint leaves. Of course plenty of lavash. Easily a 4.5. I'd give a 5, but my wife said her chicken was a little dry. Still tasty, especially with her rice that had raisins, dates, & lentils. Maybe nit picking, but overall good. The Napoleon with a scoop of raspberry ice cream was excellent. This Napoleon wasn't so creamy, but more about layers of cake. More complex than the usual variant. I'm a fan. The drinks were on point. Great ambiance & waiter. Great portions & value for this level of quality. Lavash takes pride in what they do. We will be back for great Persian cuisine.
