Tied with New Yasmeen for my favorite Lebonese Bakery in the area. Their cheese, meat, and Zatar Maneesh are the best. Perhaps the strongest selling point is their high turnover. They consistently bring freshly baked ones to the display case. Rarely do I get one that is dry. Also, their chicken and meat shawarma is tasty. They also have baked sweets and other deli items: salad, grape leaves, and more. I tend to stick with my favorites but finally tried the lasagna. It had that home cooked taste and would definitely order again. read more

Sajouna Cafe - Cheese and Zatar Maneesh - Cafes Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

The best spinach pies ever. carefully seasoned. Not convenient to my location but always worth the effort to get there. read more

I love the smell of the store as soon as I walk in. The employees are always respectful and helpful if you're ever curious about a certain menu item. Feels like family whenever I'm in town and looking for something to eat. read more

I grew up down the street from here and it was our goto Lebanese bakery for many years. Fun fact, before they opened the space was a whirly ball/arcade. Which I totally loved as a tween, but as an adult? I'm way more into the delicious goods to be found here! Sadly, ever since my mom sold the family home a few years ago I don't get to this side of town as often as I would like, let alone during a pandemic. But I was in the area last week and decided to stop by to get some of the meat pies and hummus that I love. They have a really convenient online ordering system but since I was driving by I didn't plan ahead and I just stopped in. It was later in the evening, shortly before close, but they still had everything I wanted, including my favorite knafeh. Everyone was masked and I was the only customer at the time so I felt super safe. (And you better believe I busted right into those pies the second I got into the car!) read more

Great Lebanese baked goods for anytime of the day. Note the new hours. On this sunday morning, everyone was here to pick up some goodies for brunch. I recommend ordering freely with the reasonable prices and invite a bunch of friends to enjoy these delightful pastries. Baked fresh on the premises. Some items you will find: meat pie squares, spinach triangles, broccoli "sticks", and cheese "dumplings." Zatar is wonderful savory spice blend. Kibbeh, cracked wheat fritters with meat filling. Just go with what catches your eye as I spend $20 and walked out with twenty pastries and a fresh squeezed OJ. Efficient friendly staff. To place an order grab a ticket number, ot when it is crowded wait on line. Once you place an order, you can proceed to the cashier. Sadly, I missed the sweets section as it is in a showcase past the registers. Inside seating available, but this place can be bustling so consider take out. read more

Got a take out lunch. The online ordering was really nice. You could either create an account or just use Apple ID. I really like the fact that the menu had pictures. The shop was well maintained and clean, they had hand sanitizers and paper for opening the doors. . They had verity of hot Mediterranean food, sweets, olives, olive oil, breads etc. Looks like they did have seating area but closed because of the COVID thing. The food was fresh, the mini pies are cute, especially for the kids. As a vegetarian I thought they had a good amount of choice. The veggie Lebanese pizza was awesome.. I think this would be perfect for me for a work day lunch take out or dinner with family.. they also do offer catering sizes for parties and stuff. Love it love it.. read more

I drive past this location all the time and I'm upset with myself for not trying them out sooner! A friend recommended their fresh breads and pies and I knew I had to try them out asap. I got a mix of everything and the staff member was so helpful and welcoming. I believe I got an assortment of 10 pastries and the total came out to $9 -which I was expecting to be much higher. Not only is the food a great value but everything was delicious! The meat pies were seasoned to perfection, the zaatar was stunning, and the spinach and cheese pies left me wanting more. After my first visit I was back within the week for visit number 2. I'll definitely be coming back soon and telling friends/family about this spot.

Sajouna Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

This is a really great bakery & cafe filled with all kinds of mini pies, breads, sweets and delicious Lebanese dishes. They have superb protocols in place for Covid-19 as well. Upon walking in, everyone must be wearing a mask and all the employees are wearing one as well. They have spots on the floor to keep people distanced. You can either call ahead and head straight to the register to pick up your order, or order at the counter and "along the way" while waiting in line if you pick up goodies in the shelves. I ordered several things, all which were delicious and such a great price! - garlic sauce - hummus - mini spinach pie - mini cheese pie - mini zaatar pie - long cheese - cheese sanbusek - two falafel sandwiches - sofoof (should have ordered more of this!) - maamoul (pistachio & date) Everything was *delicious*. The portions are wonderful, the price is so fare, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend you stop in here for a lunch or dinner (or even breakfast) or pick up some groceries and goods or food to go! read more

After months of COVID shutdown and not trying out too many new places, I was excited to try out this middle eastern bakery! This was an easy, painless process with the online ordering, specifying the pickup date/time. I walked in at the scheduled time, and was in and out in less than a minute - they had my order bagged up and ready to go! Service was friendly. Downside to online ordering, though, is that you can't see them put it together to ensure it's accurate. The accuracy of my order was almost perfect, except that I was missing 1 sanbusek. I should've opened it all up in my car to check it before going home, but oh well, not the end of the world. As far as the taste of the food, it was overall very good! Everything was fresh and warm. I ordered an assortment: mini meat pies, mini broccoli & cheese pies, sanbusek, falafel, and fried kibbie. My favorite of these is the meat pie/sanbusek (the sanbusek is essentially a meat pie in a different shape - my Lebanese friend says that sanbusek are usually deep fried, but these were not). The filling of ground beef, tomato, and onion was seasoned beautifully and the bread was delicious too. The broccoli & cheese pies were okay, but probably won't order a dozen again next time. There wasn't much flavor to the filling, as I don't think there was much cheese in it in relation to the broccoli. The bread was still very good, though. Falafel were okay - seasoned pretty well, although they were on the drier side. The kibbie had the well-seasoned meat inside, but it was a bit on the heavy/greasy side. I do appreciate the complimentary tahini with the falafel/kibbie and the bag of pita bread that I didn't have to order or pay for! Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely come back if and when I'm in the area, to try other items (and eat more of the meat pies)! read more

Named as Saj Cafe or Sajouna Cafe, at Ford Rd, Dearborn. Located next to Greenland supermarket. Very clean and organized. One can smell the aroma of freshly baked breads and pastries. There's a display case where you can ask for a container of tabouli, hummus and fatoush. On the side of the wall, there's a guy taking care of the hot orders like shawarmas, kabobs and falafel sandwiches. From the far corner, I see the big ovens. There's a line of hungry customers so it's best to order online. The link was quite easy to use. Pay online using a credit card. Pick up directly in the cashiers counter. They would ask for your name. Big portions. Savory food. Very reasonable priced. Friendly service. Lots of parking. Mostly to come back and try the rest of the menu items. read more

Service here is excellent and staff is very friendly. The inside of Saj is a bit cluttered and parking is horrible. Food that's served here is good. The meat, cheese and zaatar pies are great No complaints. They did over salt the shawarma so might want to taste food before they serve. But really have no major complaints. Good place to grab a bite to eat. read more

So, seriously the food is good. BUT.... if you end up with a bunch of stuff you didn't want, and few of items you DID want, then you'd better pay attention to what your sales clerk is putting together for you cuz HE DOESN'T LISTEN WHEN YOU SPEAK. Nae, he doesn't think... I had only gone in for 3 za'3tar pies and a dozen (split between cheese and cheese and pepperoni) mini pies. They were out of the za'3tar so i ordered another pie and hmmmm what else looks good here? "What's the difference between these two trays of stuffed cabbage rolls (malfoof)?" "One's meat and one's veggie." "Can i have two meat pls?" (They're pretty big.) I get home and open up my order. ??? I have one dozen of pepperoni pies (no plain cheese like i ordered), and i have two VEGGIE GRAPELEAVES. ??? What happened to my malfoof? I call the guy to let him know that with my small order of 3 items he screwed up 2 out of 3. "Sorry, i can put aside what you ordered and you can come back and pick it up." Really guy, i'm home now with my shoes and coat off, sitting down to eat, i'm not getting back in my car... he continues to make it worse, "but i didn't charge you for anything you didn't get." Somehow it doesn't occur to him that if i order something its cuz that's what i want to eat. Some people aren't picky; i guess i learned that i am. So I settle down to eat my veggie grapeleaves, and WHAT -- they are MEAT grapeleaves. WoW Good Thing i like meat - good thing i'm not a vegetarian. Dude, focus man. Focus! read more

Some of the best Middle Eastern meat pies around. Very light and not overwhelmingly dense.

This is absolutely the best place to get hummus. . They are very friendly and service runs smoothly. Everyone wears a mask and the spacing is six feet apart although you don't really feel it. The fresh baked items are perfect in texture. Light and fluffy without being too much. The ones with the cheese is a must try . I'm hoping one day I can buy some Makdous there. See you soon! read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon and I was literally WOWED. The food was so good and so flavorful. I'm a vegetarian and trust me, they have options for vegetarians. We (my daughter and I) received a complimentary roll with cheese and chives inside (I think) and it was amazing. It had sesame seeds on it. The cafe also sells many Middle Eastern/European sweets and treats along with their own products. When I am in the area, I will definitely be going back. read more

Best falafel I have ever had! I was out shopping, stopped by to get a takeaway lunch and picked up the falafel plate (small). $6 and change, so great value! Just amazing--fresh and great value--34 good size patties, lettuce, picked turnips, pickles, tomatoes and parsley--with a small tub of tahini sauce and 2 flat bread. I have had a lot of falafel in my day, but I can honestly say this is the best I have had--fresh and not soaked in oil, spices are perfect. Nice friendly staff, too. Going to make it a habit of visiting often. read more

This is an awesome bakery with a large deli menu and shawarma. My items here are pretty awesome, Mika Dara is great off the deli case. The cheese and zaatar pies are not the best around but pretty good. I love the dessert here, not the cakes, but the Arabic sweets. Something for everyone and the service is great. read more

Had the meat pie and chicken Shawarma wrap. Everything is super fresh delicious. I love the texture of the bread from the wood-burning oven. Me on the pies was so tender and well seasoned. I'm going to put this place on the return last anytime I am in the dearborn area. Btw, I should mention my navigator took me to a place directly in front of it I'm glad I drove around to the backside. read more

The Sajouna Cafe is located in a strip mall on the southwest corner of Beech Daly and Ford Road adjacent to the Greenland Market. A trip to the market and the colorful signs on the window explain that the cafe is open for extended hours during the Ramadan season are what drew me in. I love the convenience of the Sajouna Cafe. I can run in and stare through the glass case at the fresh made items and choose many of my favorite Middle Eastern dishes including okra, green beans or rice with meat with a quickness. Items in the case ore made fresh daily and sold by weight in small, medium or large carry out containers. The cafe also carries a hot menu with many traditional dishes that can be made to order. One of most notable features are the beautiful displays of plentiful sweets and baked goods. In addition to the carry out option, the cafe is lined with tables and chairs that offer patrons the opportunity to sit and eat in. The prices are comparable to other bakeries and restaurants in the area and they accept EBT cards as a form of payment. I have added this to my list of go to places for fresh made, authentic Middle Eastern specialties. read more

Terrible experience. I ordered (3) manaeesh breads recently. Brought these home and tasted - the breads were stale. They used baked bread not sold over past 2 days or so, and heated up and added the top ingredients. I called and complained to the manager. He was rude, had no customer etiquette. I expected him to replace the order with freshly baked bread. None of that. I got burnt by these idiots. I vote with my feet. I am sharing my experience. Do not go by the fake positive reviews. They are crooks and theives, per my experience. read more

We decided to give this place a try since our go to place had no power during the ice storm. I wish we had skipped this place and went elsewhere. We ordered two long cheese manaeesh and were so disappointed with the quality and taste. And that's not the worst part of this experience, my husband and I got home and a hour goes by and the establishment gives us a call yelling saying "when you order, you pick up your dam order" and proceeded to be so rude and disrespectful and when we told him that wasn't us and we had already picked up our order (which was two cheese maneesh long) he did not want to believe us and proceeded to get loud over the phone and say "you ordered 6 maneesh you're supposed to pick it up" -_- We will never be back here and I urge you all to support a different bakery because the owner as the caller claimed to be was disgustingly rude, has a listening problem and does not deserve our hard earned money. If that's how you talk to customers, you do not deserve anyone's hard earned money!! read more

We came in on a Saturday morning for a few baked goods for breakfast. Just walking in, it had the most amazing vibe. The smells were amazing, the warmth from the fresh pies baking. It was seriously heart warming just being in there. While there was a line, they were quick to serve everyone and get us moving. We ordered cheese and meat long breads and a few pastries from the case. That warm, gooey cheese just hit the spot. All the employees were super nice and helpful. We got carrot orange juice to go and took our treats home. It was SERIOUSLY all amazingly delicious. Couldn't recommend enough! I will be back!!! read more

Every single thing they sell is the best ever, great service, always fresh, great prices, highly recommend. WOW:)

This spot is amazing!! our group got a variety of food, all of which was super delicious!! The lil market had nice selection of snacks and beverages. The service was wonderful. dispite the fact that it was super busy, line moved quickly, the person working with us was calm and friendly, and we didn't wait long on our food at all. The ambiance was great. The dinning room has lots of seating. read more

Food poisoning from the Cocktail Chunks they have in the fridge. Very Pricy (Rice w/Lentil) 5.99/lb where it's 2.99-3.99/lb anywhere else. Hummos tastes horrible and there's way too much garlic in it. Zaatar pies are very soggy because of the oil in it, US itself would invade the zaatar pie because of how much it contains OIL. I almost tried everything in there and it's disappointing. read more

I'm a bit of a snob with regards to Mediterranean cuisine. Far too many places in Dearborn serve dry meat and flavorless side dishes. I had an online coupon for SajOuna Cafe and expected only to get a mediocre discounted shawarma for lunch. Fortunately, I was wrong. My partner and I had a kafta, tawook, some kibbeh, a falafel platter, and a couple fruit smoothies. The tawook was succulent and juicy; the kafta was a rare treat with a delightful combination of seasoning and quality meat. We both loved our smoothies, and the kibbie were, in my opinion, the highlight of the meal. SajOuna is a casual place, with service cafeteria style. Don't go there expecting white tablecloths or a waiter in a tuxedo. But I can personally guarantee that even without a coupon, I'll be visiting this place again to have delicious food in a casual ambiance in the near future, and I'd recommend you do the same. read more

Terrible service we bought a sandwich the meat was raw when we went back to complain she said it is not they refused to make a new ones or refund I don't normally like to give bad reviews before I give a business a chance. But this one sadly deserved it read more

Tasty sandwiches but super skimpy on meat. Kafta is tasty and inexpensive. Ground meat with onions, parsley and spice. We love Middle Eastern food and in Dearborn/ Dearborn Heights it is plentiful. You have to be on your game, because the next guy will be. I think we are trying the next guy. These sandwiches should be called pickle sandwiches or pickled turnip with garlic. The meat was nonexistent. We were disappointed. The tawook and Shish kebab were the same. Lots of pickled veggies, no meat. read more

Great quality and tasty food. I gave four stars because my chicken shwarma had little tiny bones.. I wish it wasn't included in the sandwich

I just called to ask about a dish they told me if was sold out I made a suggestion maybe they should make k More in the morning since it always sells out... then I asked her ok what day do you guys make it? She hung up on me ! The customer service at San is nasty !! It's not the first time read more

Stumbled across this place and I think this is my greatest find in Dearborn and Michigan in general. I ordered a ton of different food in my 3 visits there since the last month. Each and every food is delicious. The baclavas are the best even compared to the ones I had in Dubai and Qatar. The chicken shawarmas and tawooks are best when consumed immediately as warming them does not help. Now that you guys have impressed me so much, a little improvement point. The one star less is for the fact they are delivering the fries inside the shawarmas and that makes it soggy by the time its consumed. And the baba ghonoush can be of a better quality. Keep up the good work Will visit soon when in Detroit area! read more

Authentic Clean, fresh and yummy Middle Eastern food. Orders to go are carefully packaged and sealed. Highly recommend.

Decent middle-eastern (Lebanese) food for the price. I would prefer Yasmin's over them but since they are closer it can do. My service always varies depending who is serving me. But besides that.. The falafel is good. 12 PCs for 8bucks with a plate of veggies and large container of tahini. And the taboulli is decent as well. The bread is the best!!! And the cook it to order so you will not have stale bread. Their macaroons are good too. A little more on the sweet side for my taste but that's just me. Overall I would drive out my way to go here. But if your in the area, its not a bad place to stop by. read more
