If I could give 6 stars, I would! Sajj is our go to spot whenever we're craving something hearty, fresh, and full of flavor. It's located inside a shopping complex, so parking is usually pretty easy, which is always a plus. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Everything can be customized to your preference. You can build your own bowl, wrap, or salad, and they offer a great variety of proteins including vegetarian options! My usual order is the pomegranate chicken with tumeric rice bowl, lots of toppings including extra beets and pickles :) There are so many options when it comes to toppings and veggies so you can truly make your dish your own! I also very much appreciate that everything is clearly labeled for dietary restrictions (including gluten free and dairy free)! They offer an optional lentil soup to start with. It's warm, delicious and a great way to start your meal. The staff here is always so kind and welcoming. They are happy to make recommendations or explain ingredients, and they really go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your meal. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. Every time we come here, we leave full, happy, and with leftovers for tomorrow! We will keep coming back! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

I have been to Sajj in FiDi a few times before but we've only ever had them as catering because they are usually a hit when we order it for work. I had been thinking about them a lot lately so I asked my husband to please take me to the San Ramon location! I knew that ordering in was Chipotle style but I was still very overwhelmed. Thankfully the staff on Saturday afternoon was so friendly and helpful! I got a build your own bowl with rice, pomegranate chicken (highly recommend!), cauliflower, and tons of veggies/toppings! I love their garlic spread and their chutney, I have to be sure to get extra next time! The bowl feels hearty and healthy with enough to share or feed me for multiple meals. It also comes with complimentary lentil soup, which I looove-it's thick, warm, and comforting. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - I forgot to take a picture before I already started eating! Build your own - fullll of toppings! - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Found this place on DoorDash and it's a winner. We love the "build your own" option, and they allow you to add so many different toppings. You can have a wrap or a bowl. For the bowl, you build your base, choose your protein, and add toppings and sauces. I got a chicken shawafel (shawarma + falafel) bowl with a couscous base. It was so good. Hubby got a wrap and he really enjoyed it too. The only negative is the wrap was a bit soggy in some areas. A thicker wrap or slightly toasted wrap would have worked out better. Overall, we really enjoyed the customizations and topping choices. read more

I had such a good experience at SAJJ today that I wanted to leave a review. Ingrid, who was working the counter, was outstanding. She didn't just take the order, she actually helped tailor it. I like my wrap a certain way, and she offered to split it half and half so both parts were made exactly how we wanted. Not many places do that, and she made it look easy. The food was excellent. The pomegranate chicken was fresh and full of flavor, the tamarind drink was perfect, the fries came out hot and crispy, and the free lentil soup was amazing. It tasted homemade and comforting. Ingrid was friendly, patient, and clearly cared about the details. Experiences like this are why we keep coming back. Big thank-you to her for going above and beyond today. Strongly recommend this SAJJ location. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

My go-to order here is the chicken wrap bites - it's not listed on the menu in the restaurant, but you can ask for it or order through the app. They come with crispy fries, a garlic sauce, and a side of lentil soup! It's total comfort food. The Arabic music playing in the background sets the ambiance as well. It's never too crowded, which makes every visit quick, consistent, and enjoyable. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken wrap bites - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Sajj is one of my favorite fast-casual chains for its fresh, vibrant Mediterranean flavors that come at a great value. One of their newest menu items is the Döner Kebab, a grilled lamb/beef mixture with a Turkish-inspired spice mixture. But my personal favorite protein is the classic falafel, chickpea fritters flavored with herbs and spices. The friendly server insisted on preparing these fresh for a perfectly crunchy exterior and warm interior. My go-to order is the salad bowl, topped with hot sides (eggplant ragout, sumac cauliflower), dips (hummus, toum, and tzatziki), and cold toppings (including cucumber/tomato salad, sumac onions, chopped beets, chickpeas). All these items together make for a healthy, delicious meal, paired with their creamy hot lentil soup and sauces (spicy peri peri, cilantro chutney). These are Mediterranean flavors at their best, and the affordable prices and friendly service can't be beat! read more

Bro. Yall gotta pop by. This place is hella underarrted. Good prices, healthy food, and chill area. Give them a visit, nice people read more

Tried the new chicken kebab today, and wasn't a huge fan. Chunks were cut bigger than I prefer, the chicken breast was quite dry, and the flavor didn't make up for any of its shortcomings. I feel if they used thigh meat it would have been a better experience, but overall I wouldn't get this again. I'll stick with my pomegranate chicken which never disappoints. Portions are still great so I still love SAJJ overall. Also, today the soup was unusually thick, which is inconsistent with the SF and SJ locations being soupy. I think they added too many lentils. read more

This is one of my quick lunch pick up locations. They have a lot of variety, always very fresh, the service is great. Overall fields like a very healthy, fulfilling bowl of food. They have tons of different options so you can customize it to your requirements. Also love the free soup that comes with the meals. Their falafel are probably one of the best I have ever tasted. Give it a shot! read more

Ever since our friend showed us SAJJ during our stay in San Jose, it has become our favorite build-your-own bowl restaurant. Cava in San Diego is pretty good, but what sets SAJJ apart from their competitors is their free lentil soup, complementary cilantro mint chutney, spicy tahini sauce, and the depth of flavor from their vegetable sides. The store had ample seats and we were lucky enough to have the entire store to ourselves dining in on a rainy Friday afternoon. I wish SoCal and SD had SAJJ; until then, I'll make sure to make a pit stop whenever I see one! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Steak Shawarma Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

SAJJ Mediterranean is located in The Shops at Bishop Ranch shopping center, across the street from THE LOT City Center. I met my buddy Ven here for lunch on 03/03/2024. We walked in at around 12pm and the restaurant was completely empty. The rainy weather probably had something to do with that. We were greeted by the lone male staffer, who was friendly. Since this was our first time eating here, we had a couple questions about their food. He was able to provide us with quick answers. Ordering here was simple and similar to other fast casual chains. We each got a rice bowl (I got steak shawarma and Ven got chicken shawarma) - which came with your choice of protein, rice, veggies, and a small bowl of lentil soup on the side. With a couple drinks, the total was somewhere close to $40. I also got some free pita chips with a Yelp check-in. Our order was assembled immediately, and it was ready in no time. I was pleased with my rice bowl. The steak was decently tender, the rice was flavorful, and the produce was fresh. The lentil soup was good as well. All in all, I liked my experience here. The food was delicious and filling, and the service was good. I will be back. 4 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Free pita chips with Yelp check-in. - Ample parking on site. - Major credit cards accepted. read more

Fast, convenient and overall healthy option if you are near Bishop Ranch. I called this a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, which is great because I love that concept. You pick however you want your entree, bowl, salad or wrap and they stuff it with a LOT of things. Choice of base, protein and a lot of veggies and greens. Their sauces are a bit too salty for me, so order the sauce separately. Their lentil soup is warm and hardy, perfect side dish during winter days. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

No stars for me if I could. We have eaten at the San Ramon location many times and very upset for the service we received yesterday. Instead of refilling the side dishes, they scraped at the very bottom to give us a unfilled scoop. Typically when it gets close to the bottom every type of stores I have been to would automatically grab a new tub. They are not friendly and makes me feel like I am asking for a favor for them to take my order instead of feeling like a customer. We ordered Pomegranate Chicken and they claimed it was the SAME PRICE as Chicken Shawarma. We told him TWICE and he LIED twice in my face. I had to physically point [at the 3rd time] to the menu prices before he would change the register. It's not about the money but the lack of ethnics. We all make mistakes but to lie and not even apologize for it is unacceptable. No bueno for me. read more

I went to Sajj, a Mediterranean fast food spot where you build your own bowl, kind of like Chipotle, but with a Middle Eastern twist. I ordered the Shawafel Bowl, which comes with your choice of shawarma (I picked chicken) and two falafels. The bowl felt like a healthy meal especially with the turmeric rice and all the fresh toppings I got to pick myself. It was filling without making me feel heavy, which I really liked. I'd say it's like a cleaner, lighter version of Chipotle. Although, to be honest, Chipotle still wins when it comes to flavor punch. I chose tahini sauce, but they only gave me a light drizzle. I wish they added more, especially since tahini brings everything together. Also, the falafel wasn't great, it had a weird taste, like it was fried in old oil. Hard to explain, but it just didn't hit the mark. Still, overall, it was a solid meal. It's my second time eating here, and I'd come back again, just maybe skip the falafel next time. read more

Very good Mediterranean restaurant in town! All ingredients tasted very fresh and healthy. I had a wrap with pomegranate chicken, grilled eggplant, and all the vegetables except for chickpeas. Plus spicy Tahiti sauce, which turned out to be a really good choice. I don't know what pomegranate chicken is, but it's very tender and juicy. Love it. Highly recommend it! read more

Faith restored! Someone has been listening since my last review and there has been a tremendous improvement in quality of service here. Unlike last time, my chicken shawafel was topped with a layer of chicken, the sauces were nicely spread out, the server was very communicative and the shawafel was nicely prepared! Also the place looked extremely clean and did not smell like Fabuloso haha! Check out the new pics of the stuffed chicken shawafel in pita! Will be definitely coming back again and again, thank you Sajj! read more

The food is not fresh. Poor quality of toppings. The server has no knowledge of how much of toppings to add. He simply dumps the wrong ingredients together. Chickpeas were not cooked properly. The entire bowl was tasting so bad. Never going there again read more

We picked up our catering order today. We paid a total of $345 for the food, and while the quality was good, we were not satisfied with the quantity that was provided. The pictures below show the shallow trays were sparsely filled. You can see that the sides of the trays are fully visible because the layer of food was so thin. You can even see the bottom of the tray in some pictures. While only 2 pictures were uploaded, all the food was sparse, including the sauce and sides. These were not enough to feed 15 people for our event. Tried calling the restaurant, they wouldn't pick up. Called David, the representative that confirmed the order with me and he didn't pick up. Had to leave a message and still haven't heard back from him. So emailed Carina, the cater representative (nice lady) but haven't heard a response back. What they gave us did not feed 15 people. We were lucky we made extra food to go with what was catered. Very disappointed! read more

Bought a Costco gift card set & thought this might be a good place, since it was a Costco item. While the food is average, & portion size more on the frugal side, I really wasn't that impressed with this establishment. They have managers who have limited English & the young server tried to communicate in Spanish. Food is quite unique like the Chicken Pomegranate Which had a slight sweet taste to it that was perfect & not overly sweet. Steak shawarma had a wonderfully infused flavor that had tender pieces of meat. I didn't order the chicken shawarma bc it was only me & my daughter, but may try it next time around. read more

Do you like Mediterranean food? Well, think of this place as Mediterranean Chipotle. They do burritos (just like chipotle), they do pita (kinda like a taco from Chipotle if you need the comparison), and they do a bowl (just like chipotle). They will ask you for the protein in you want and it goes down the cafeteria line to add stuff (just like chipotle). The service was very fast. I did like the various accoutrements you could add to your dish including beets and pickles. I tried the chicken shawarma as well as a side of falafel. Both were pretty good. Given the quality of the food, the price point was decent. It is a fast casual environment so that's the kind of ambiance it has going on. I would return here if I was in the area and hungry. read more

Yum, this place is phenomenal. I have been holding off on writing this review as l'm scared it's going to become to popular to where the wait will be longer then my lunch period. You can now place a mobile order! Im so thrilled about that. I can now order from my office and go pick it up! Okie let me tell you about the food! It's delicious, this place is literally the Mediterranean version of Chipotle. You come in pick what you want and add whatever. My go to order is a rice bowl with chicken, couscous, eggplant, cauliflower, all three of the sauces, with arugula, beats, and the onions. I then top everything with their spicy tahini sauce. Once I pay I always ask for their green sauce. It adds the perfect kick of extra flavor. Literally the best. I'm so surprise this place isn't as popular as it should be. Perfection. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken rice bowl with everything. (10/10) - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

We started with a bit of an ordering snafu, but the staff was quick to correct and get it right! We ordered directly from their website online, but when we arrived we were told someone had already picked it up from DoorDash. So weird because we didn't use that service!! But we weren't in a hurry, and they were happy to recook our rather large meal and see us on our way, so I don't have anything to complain about! We ordered the Family Meal which is a great value and fed four of us perfectly, with leftovers to spare!! Falafel, chicken shawarma, rice, salad, hummus, tzatziki, pita, soup, and condiments like tahini, chutney and peri peri sauce!!! We also got the chocolate hummus (mmmm) and some baklava which was SO GOOD! Would definitely do again - fresh and delish and good service! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Tucked away in the center, it took a minute to find! - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

It is really good and the people are very nice. Even a takeout bowl that I ate an hour later still tasted good. I didn't even heat it up because I was too lazy to separate the ingredients! Perhaps I should have asked for separate hot and cold ingredients, I may try that next time. Been here once for Yelp elite, and came back again because of a coupon. I think it's better than places like Yalla and Nick's. I haven't been to Gotta Eatta Pita in years but I think this may be better too. I'll definitely be back! I recommend it!! read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch on our way back to the peninsula. The inside of the restaurant was clean, with bottles of hand sanitizer on tables. We both ordered the rice bowl with falafels since we're both vegetarian. The quantity was pretty substantial for the price (~$12), and comes with complimentary lentil soup, which is super yummy. Overall, a great value for pretty yummy food. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Falafel Rice Bowl (fully loaded) - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

I've come to Sajj multiple times and it's a terrific experience every time. It's never too busy, which I'm surprised about because it's so great, but it makes the line go fast. Sajj is a chipotle-style Mediterranean restaurant, with pick-and-choose additions to whatever bowl, pita, or wrap you'd like. I've had the chicken shawarma saffron rice bowl and the pomegranate chicken saffron rice bowl and they're both fantastic. The ingredients are all so fresh, and I always ask for extra on basically everything. I usually get the eggplant ragout, extra arugula and mixed greens, the cucumber/tomato, onions, chickpeas, hummus, cabbage, and the list goes on. They're all bursting with flavor and complement each other perfectly. The workers are always extremely accommodating (and they are GENEROUS with portions) and sweet. There's an included lentil soup that comes with the bowls that is delicious and a great appetizer. The cilantro chutney that you add on after ordering is so flavorful and fantastic- definitely recommend it. The indoor and outdoor seating are both nice and have great ambiance. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Honestly one of the best bang for your buck restaurants around. It easily makes two satisfying meals. I've come here many times and will come here many more! read more

This is a staple spot for me in San Ramon! Set up as a Chipotle-style service, pretty much unlimited toppings and I always ask for extra. Everything tastes and looks so fresh, and quality is consistent. If you order in store, you're offered free lentil soup on the side. I usually go for dinner, and the place tends to be pretty empty. I think most of the orders are online / to-go. Make sure to try their cilantro chutney, it makes the food even better :) read more

Heard great things about this place being delicious and they were right! Delicious and generous portions with many delicious toppings to add in your bowl at no extra cost! Food: 1. Steak Shawarma bowl {$12,5/5 stars} - generous portions of steak on a bed of delicious turmeric rice. My toppings I chose to include: beets, mint, tomatoes cucumbers mix, eggplant ragout, cauliflower, arugula, pickles, turnips, garbanzo beans, and a delicious garlic spread. *The garlic spread and the eggplant ragout was the best thing I've tasted here, definitely recommend as toppings. 2. Pomegranate chicken side {$3.95,4/5 stars} - cup of chicken grilled in a pomegranate molasses. Chicken was little dry, and had no pomegranate taste what so ever :( Service: {3/5 stars} I had online order set for 1pm and the order was not on the shelve. I waited in line, (one person ahead of me) and stood there for 4 minutes WITHOUT being recognized, was ignored and eventually acknowledged. The female staff member had to tell the boy behind the counter to acknowledge me and finally the male staff member found my order and took a very slow time bagging it. Customer experience definitely needs some work. Overall, a delicious and hearty meal at affordable prices with generous portions. Definitely be back if customer experience improves. read more

I pretty good Mediterranean restaurant here in San Ramon. This place is located right next to the City Center shopping center. Every time I order here the portions are very generous and the people that work there are always pretty friendly. Overall the flavors are good, and the food is generally quite rich. Their steak meat is pretty well seasoned and they definitely don't skimp on the sauce. Usually one bowl I can probably make into two meals. read more

Sajj is amazing. I used to get bowls at a SF location by work, but with working from home and such, I was happy to find out that Sajj has a San Ramon location! The online ordering and pick up process was very simple and straight forward. I placed an online order for the following - Bowl mixed greens, extra steak schwarma, extra eggplant, and garlic spread - they were nice to stuff the bowl even though we did not get other toppings. The person that got this bowl enjoyed it a lot. Bowl with mixed greens, chicken kabob, multiple spreads, multiple toppings, etc - this one was really good. They were generous on the spreads and the toppings. The chicken kabob was a bit dry in my opinion, but the hummus and everything else in there helped. The sauces that come on the side are amazing. I absolutely love the hot peri peri sauce. So good!! Wrap with steak schwarma and a bunch of toppings - OK, so this is where things went wrong. They put falafel instead of steak in here! I love falafel, but this wasn't my wrap. So disappointing... the person that got this didn't dislike it, but was not happy to have paid a couple dollars more for something he did not receive. Side of Falafel, sides of pita, etc - pretty good. Kids Meals - one quesadilla kids meal and one chicken rice bowl kids meal. The rice bowl was filled partially, but the kids enjoyed that. The quesadilla did not have much cheese in there. It was a very thin quesadilla. It came with some fried pita chips that were pretty good. Nice crunch to them. Overall, good stuff other than the steak/falafel mistake and thinness of the quesadilla. I wish I lived closer so I can get Sajj more often. read more

Sajj always hits the spot! Their portions are incredible and their food is always tasty and has never decreased in quality.

Good food, with room for improvement on staff training. The food was very good, I ordered the chefs special, Falafel Pita. It has a very good combination of flavors. They add a hint of mint which provides a refreshing flavor to the traditional dish. The menu was simply laid out allowing for a selection of a few chef created dishes, with the ability to customize a dish too. However, when ordering the staff was unfamiliar with the predesigned dishes, I had to read the menu item off to the employee to get it made. It did not seem like there was any cards behind the counter instructing employees on the common dishes. read more

The portions here are so generous, and the food quality is amazing! I love the variety of options SAJJ offers, and I personally am a big fan of their falafel. Moreover, the service here is great.

I am a bit surprised with the high rating. Maybe it was a bad day? No longer felt the same from the food truck days. It's hard for good eating places to scale quality and service.
