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

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!

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.

Our group was in town for the weekend and came in here for lunch. The restaurant was open and airy…read more We were seated by the window and the place was pretty empty at the time. The food was delicious! We decided to order two big plates made for two and added an appetizer, salad, and another rice dish. It was enough food for the 8 of us. Presentation was lovely and service was good too.

Lavash is superb. The hostess was gracious & offered us immediate seating outside in a small booth…read more She was almost apologetic, but what a treat. 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.

This small, unassuming little restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District came up when I…read moresearched for falafel in response to a craving. There is some space inside the restaurant but the little gaggle of tables just outside allowed for eating, reading, writing, and people watching. After studying the menu, I chose a chicken shawarma wrap and a ginger beer. I also asked for a couple of falafel with a dollop of hummus but, for some reason, they did not have any falafel. So I settled for the shawarma wrap and then settled into a seat at one of the outdoor tables, ate, reading, watched the passers by, etc. I had a fine leisurely time. Just as I was getting up, a kind young woman came out as I was gathering my things. She handed me one of those little things upon which baklava is served. In this little piece of paper was a dollop of creamy delicious hummus and a freshly cooked piece of falafel. It was truly a San Francisco moment and a reflection of the lovely customer service that pervades this modest little restaurant. I went back there several times during my few days in SF. My heartfelt thanks to Truly Mediterranean for some great food and welcoming kindness.

The falafel has a crispy outside with a wonderful inside. The hummus tastes fresh and the baklava is a sweet treat! Each order a falafel comes with tahini and harissa. What I like seeing in there is the all spices they have shown near the kitchen. I like it! It just inspires me to be a better cook. I look forward to being back there later in 2026.
