I decided to try this place for a weekday lunch. This seems to be one of the spots catered to the FiDi workers. It does seem to reflect Cava vibes which is great since there are no Cava in the Bay area. Basically they have many different ingredients where you can customize your Mediterranean bowl. I got the steak shawarma rice bowl which the worker assembled pretty fast. There wasn't too much rice and had salad greens mixed in. I actually preferred this as it made lunch feel not as heavy going back to work. There was a good amount of meat and the sauce added the right amount of flavor. The veggies were a nice crunch and complemented the bowl nicely. There was an alleyway next to the place where people were sitting and enjoying the sunny day. This is a great place to grab a quick healthy lunch! read more

Kind of surprised. I usually love my orders from SAJJ but I didn't enjoy my bowl too much this time. The steak was incredibly dry, tough to chew, and came in huge chunks. It's usually tender, but the sauce couldn't save it. The falafel was much better. I also think the amount of arugula for their salad is so little compared to everything else you get. Service was good as usual! read more

The pomegranate chicken here is divine! It's sweet and tangy and cooked to perfection. Not to mention the generous bed of couscous it rests on and the insane amount of toppings piled on top. Every bite was a different experience, embodying just what I want from a lunch bowl. Overall, Sajj is a great place to check out if you're looking for a new work lunch (or weekend) option read more

I'm obsessed with sajj! Been looking for a Cava alternative forever, and finally found this place. Food is incredible. Is usually get the pomegranate chicken bowl with lots of veggies and cauliflower. Love that they have complimentary lentil soup also. The place gets a little busy during peak lunch if you got a little bit later or earlier, it's quick. read more

We had a work event catered from here, and it was amazing! I absolutely loved their falafel here, as well as their chicken shawarma and their rice. The hummus and pita bread were fresh and delicious as well. Everyone went back for seconds! read more

This mediterranean bowl is LOADED. Love that it's Chipotle/Cava style so you can take advantage of all the toppings. Very good competitor to Cava and a lot of value for the Bay Area if you order right. Will be a new lunch staple. 4.2/5 read more

Updating my review for 5 stars. The amount of different healthy and delicious toppings and sauces and flavors that you can get in one of their bowls is truly amazing. I love to try a little bit of everything, and you get so many fresh topping choices to go along with quality meat or falafel options. This is my go to place for lunch in the Fi di, not just b/c it is close, but b/c I know I will be full, I know I will be satisfied, and I know it will be a healthy meal! If you are into a colorful and diverse photo op meal, this checks the box as well. The staff is fast, the restaurant is clean, there is indoor and outdoor seating. Self serve water is available. You can also order online to have it ready when you get there. If lentil soup is your thing or if free things are your thing, you can also get a free lentil soup with your meal. Definitely a nice touch. To top it all off, the meals are reasonably priced and affordable. At the time of this review, the Chicken bowl is $15.45 before taxes. Great value. Keep doing what you are doing! read more

On Pine and Beldon, where the alley is filled with picnic tables and somehow seemed sunny, this is a convenient, affordable, and good place for lunch. I ordered the falafel wrap, but there are also bowls and pita options. When you order, it's a bit of taqueria style with lots of choices for fillings included in the price. For example, hummus, cabbage, tahini. harissa, eggplant. The line was long, but it moved fast. I appreciated the unexpected free little bowl of lentil soup. The food felt warm and nourishing. We happened upon this place without any kind of review check, and I feel like we lucked out. read more

It was pretty good and decent price for a quick bite in the city. Also healthier than a lot of lunch options around. Love the customizable nature of each dish. Not too busy and got served right away. Played good music in the restaurant too. read more

Ordered chicken & steak shawarma rice bowls from this location twice on MealPal and was very pleased with my choice. The portion is on point and the flavor is great. I can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients. The green sauce that came with the bowl was amazing. I'd say this is a pretty solid lunch spot in FiDi. I think they also have several other locations. Would recommend! read more

Great place, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The best middle eastern bowls in the area! Great place to grab lunch.

This was my first but definitely not my last time at Sajj. My favorite protein option is the pomegranate protein, which is packed with flavor and pairs perfectly with the build-your-own bowl concept. There are so many toppings to choose from, including (but not limited to) cauliflower, beets, tomatoes, hummus, and garlic spreads, allowing me to create a bowl that suits my taste preferences perfectly. One of the best parts about dining at Sajj is that they offer a free lentil soup with every order, which is a delightful bonus. The soup is flavorful and adds a comforting touch to the meal. I wouldn't pay for it, but its a nice comforting touch to my bowl. Another great perk is that if you sign up online, you get $5 off your first order, making it even more enticing to try it for the first time. read more

Sajj was the once new work lunch spot in town. Now it has become a staple. So much so that when I returned to SF for work, I had to hit it up. Sajj borrows from the Chipotle model. Walk up to the counter, order your base (salad, rice) and protein (falafel for vegans), and point to as many sides as you want. Favs include eggplant, cauliflower, chickpeas, pickles, garlic hummus, and baba ganoush. The choices can seem overwhelming. It's probably why Sajj recently rolled out a vegan platter to take the guesswork out. Comes with a side of lentil soup. Two locations, one in the FIDI and the other in SOMA on 2nd. With so many places still closed due to the pandemic, it was nice to discover that Sajj was open and was serving its delicious food. read more

Gosh, I absolutely LOVE Sajj. It is so quick, perfect when you're in a rush, but still want something yummy and healthy. Think mediterranean-style Chipotle. I love the chicken shawafel or pomegranate chicken bowl. Every single topping on there is a perfect fit. I usually get all the spreads and can't choose a favorite. You can't go wrong with the toppings, but I usually add the sumac cauliflower, onions, cucumbers, cherry peppers, arugula, and mint leaves, finished off with either the spicy tahini or cilantro mint chutney. I know some people love the lentil soup. The baklava is so flaky and nutty. Most of the locations I've been to are clean and nicely decorated. The staff is helpful and pack on the toppings on your bowl. I absolutely LOVE Sajj, I even have a loyalty/newsletter (which I almost never do). Definitely recommend. read more

Treat yourself to an amazing, fat and juicy falafel wrap full of all kinds of goodness at Sajj. I've been going around the city in search of a lavash falafel wrap, and while the ones at North beach gyros, pharaoh's and others have been quite good (and you can't go wrong with the pita ones at sababa down the street from here), Sajj truly fulfilled my craving. I opted for the Sajj wrap and went half hummus-half tzatziki, fantastic decision making on my part. I then said 'everything please' to the toppings they offered, and they toasted it in some foil for me (I might ask for extra toasted next time for it to be even hotter). The red and green sauces are delightful, perhaps the red one is a tad too salty, I've preferred spicy sauces at other Mediterranean places more. The falafel is crispy with crunchy bits of it adding great texture to the wrap. It's two meals probably but I was hungry enough to eat the entire thing. read more

My favorite Mediterranean food in SF. Prices are fair, portion is good and quality is great. Staff is excellent too. Always look forward to coming back. read more

Unfortunately, I ordered Sajj and found a long dark hair in my bowl. Im not sure what their safety and health protocol is, but maybe hair nets need to be added. Food was good but I feel this ruined the meal read more

Their pomegranate chicken is actually quite good and so are their falafel! The lentil soup is average. The service was decent ! read more

A great Mediterranean place to if you are on the go or if you want to dine in! The chicken shawarma is my go to and the portions are pretty big and filling. The service is pretty fast and there's a cute outdoor seating area where you can catch up with friends or dine in. If you are a fan of customizable bowls and are looking for something filling and healthy, highly recommend! read more

If I were to describe Sajj Mediterranean in three words it would have to be fresh, aromatic, and rejuvenating! I know that rejuvenating might be a strange word to describe food with but hear me out. After I have a super filling meal, that dreadful food coma feeling sets in immediately and it makes me want to laze around, but after my friends and I tried two different entrees, lentil soup, and hella pita bread we were still ready to run around the city. Not only was the food rejuvenating, it was packed with vegetables sourced from around the bay area. It wasn't until the end of our meal that I noticed the big sign that showed which cities in the bay they get each of their ingredients from. Any entree you get will literally come with your serving of vegetables for the day, maybe even three days. You can choose from so many different options like eggplant, chickpeas, pickles, avocado, tomatoes, cauliflower, slaw, beets, and soooo many more things. I let the manager build our plates for us! We got a vegan plate that came with falafel, diced pickles, hummus, arugula + balsamic dressing, rice, cauliflower, eggplant, chickpeas, tomatoes, and tahini to pour over top. We also got the steak shawarma with hummus, tzatziki, arugula + balsamic dressing, and rice. Also, let me tell you that everything was seasoned with the heart, not a damn measuring spoon. Every single component tasted as if it was seasoned separately so that it created layers upon layers of flavor and gave it so many different levels of depth. I could legit eat their falafel all day long as long as it was served with their piping hot and soft pita bread + garlic sauce (toum). We all fell so hard for the toum that we took home a 16oz tub of it. We got it on Monday and it was finished by Wednesday. What made their toum so unique though is the fact that aside from the typical seasonings, garlic, oil, and lemon, they add potatoes. It gives it almost a mashed potato consistency and it is to die for. Literally found ourselves putting it on everything from banh mi to breakfast sandwiches, such a good addition. Our experience at Sajj Mediterranean could not have been better. The staff, specifically Zenen, were so accommodating and ready to host us and provide us with whatever we needed to be comfortable and happy. Definitely stop by Sajj Mediterranean if you're in the Bay Area! read more

If you're from the east coast and miss Cava, come to SAJJ and you'll be pleasantly surprised that the food is even better than Cava! I got their pomegranate chicken with rice and an assortment of vegetables and spreads. So good! The chicken tasted so fresh and the rice was really flavorful without being salty. I loved the eggplant and cauliflower sides and the hummus, garlic spread, and tzatziki were all great. You really can't go wrong with any of the veggies. They're all so well seasoned and fresh! The side of lentil soup was also good! Not the best lentil soup but it was free with the chicken, so no complaints over here. Definitely would recommend SAJJ for a quick meal! read more

My co-worker says they are normally packed up lunch, but around 11:40 a.m. on a rainy December Thursday, they weren't too busy. They had a short line of customers but we didn't have to wait in line and there were a couple tables free. * Shawafel pita - 4 stars They have tasty meat and ingredients. The green cilantro sauce is great. Logistically, you end up with all the meat at the bottom and the dressings and sauces on the top. So definitely get a small container of sauce for when you get to the bottom of the wrap! read more

Phenomenal. So flavorful. So unique. Great portion too. I highly recommend this place. Not many that I've had that are better. read more

Food is always amazing at SAJJ and their portion is way more than enough. Love the balance of flavors pickly (picked onions, beets, jalapeños...) and nuttiness from hummus that makes a salad so much more enjoyable. I ordered for pickup through Uber Eats and decided to cancel my order for delivery instead. Thanks to Nancy and her staff from SAJJ who noticed the duplicate order and only prepared 1 order. If they would've prepared both orders, I would've been charged for both because Uber eats charge for cancellation (with no additional food to take home). Thank you! read more

Ordered from here to go and I was glad to know they have a preorder on their website. Bad thing was that I couldn't order for pickup within the hour, it had to be placed 4hours in advanced. I'm not sure it was just at the time I was placing an order, or if that's their practice. Food was great! However, I wasn't completely full after eating this, (Smh @me!) so I'm not sure if the price was worth it. It was good eats tho!! **don't know what it's called, but the cilantro sauce was EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!! If I can buy a container full of it, I will be going back just for that!! read more

Delicious fast casual Mediterranean food for the busy (and hungry) FiDi office worker. The assembly line moves quick here so make your choices between a wrap, pita, salad or rice bowl quick. Protein choices include pomegranate chicken, steak, shawarma, and falafel.... or you can do a Shawafel - a shawarma & falafel combo. Many options for the spreads and toppings to choose from and the ingredients are all pretty fresh. Paralyzed by choice, I typically just go with everything and it still all comes together pretty well. Side of lentil soup is great for cold and wet days. Kearny has quite a few Mediterranean spots but Sajj holds it own pretty well among the many lunchtime options. read more

New favorite lunch spot alert! For $13 you can get yourself a giant Mediterranean salad filled with goodies. The owner is Jordanian I believe and did great justice to the preparation of the food. I'm Lebanese so have high standards for my hummous and garlic sauce (tomb); theirs was excellent. They also have pickled turnips which is a critical component to shawarma. I did a blend of the shawarma and pomegranate ccicjeb. I was surprised at checkout when they gave me a free lentil soup which was well seasoned and equally delightful. Definitely recommend for lunch! read more

Great amount of food for $12, including tax! I usually get their falafel salad and add on a bunch of toppings, such as chickpeas, eggplant, tomatoes, hummus, cherry peppers, and more. Not only is the bowl a bit more filling and bigger than some other Mediterranean bowls, it also comes with a lentil soup. The soup itself is very flavorful. The only downside I've experienced is that some of the toppings can be watery at times, which messes up the bowl, especially if there isn't the grains to absorb the excess liquid. The flavors are present, but with the water (such as a scoop of chickpeas and some of the liquids go right into the bowl), it dilutes the flavor. It can be a bit difficult to mix everything together (I usually use the hummus and the tahini as "dressing"), but it's still good. The falafel is fresh, crispy, large. Goes very well with the hummus or by itself. The scoop of hummus as the topping is generous, compared to another place that advertises a hummus bowl that actually doesn't include as much hummus I thought it'd include. Excellent variety and nice staff. read more

Finally, a Chipotle-style Mediterranean option for FiDi office workers! Lunch here costs a bit more than average, about $12 for a bowl. On the upside, you can load your bowl with a ton of delicious toppings and it's more than enough for one meal. All the ingredients used were fresh and tasty. Looking forward to coming back here often! read more

A Chipotle-esqe Mediterranean joint with pitas, wraps, bowls and salads. The meats and sides are much more flavorful than Chipotle though. A great way to switch up the workday lunch routine. Pomegranate Chicken Pita: Love the pita. It's so much fluffier than the flat discs some joints serve. The pomegranate chicken had a nice tartness complementing the normal umami of chicken. Tasted grilled/griddled rather than stewed, which is ok, but it didn't show complete fidelity to typical pomegranate chicken. Loved all the toppings and sauces to choose from. Especially like that so many items are a pickled, so those of us vinegar loves can go wild. Soup: A simple lentil stew. Very humble compared to all the flavors going on in the pita. So it actually worked out well like a palate cleanser. Strawberry Lemonade: I really enjoyed this. It wasn't too sour and had a generous amount of strawberries. A few nice fruit bits to really add to the experience. Quite refreshing. read more

So happy that Sajj opened a Fidi location. I went about a week or two after they opened this location. I've been to the Mountain View one prior and have had catering a handful of times from their 2nd Street location. Online ordering was easy and so I made the trek to the restaurant. Just like with the Mountain View location they had a free bag of their awesome fresh homemade crisp AF pita chips with Yelp check in. The guy was even sweet enough to ask me what dipping sauce I want and hooked it up with two. I got a half rice half greens chicken shawarma bowl. Same great taste, same huge portions, fresh ingredients and healthy enough. I like how Sajj has been consistent between locations and catering. It's a great addition to FiDi. read more

I came in last minute with a rush lunch order for 11 on Thanksgiving Eve and I fortunate to be greeted by Silvia and Julio. These 2 charming individuals patiently fulfilled my order with all my unclear instructions obscured by my mask. Silvia was so gracious in walking me through each customized bowl, pita and wrap. Oh I forgot to mention this was my first time. Julio helped expedite the orders and this duo ensured that my lunch party was successful. Everyone walked away appreciative of the food. Thank you Silvia, Julio and the SJJ crew. We're right around the block so expect our continued patronage. read more

Fresh, healthy, filling, and good value. Their setup is service line style (chipotle) where you can pick and customize your meal. Everyone's diet is welcome so long as you like Mediterranean flavors. Be prepared to have some leftovers. Huge plus: they give you a side of lentil soup that's amazing! read more
