The guy working was very helpful and took the time to explain the dishes to us in the Buffett. We opted for the Buffett today (only runs fri-sun) and while I would love to tell you everything we had, I'd be lying if I said I remembered all the names of the dishes. But trust me when I say the food was fresh, hot and lots of variety. Started off with some hummus, salad, pasta salad, and some other cold sides that I forget the name. The pasta salad was fine, but def okay to skip and stick to the other sides to which you won't be disappointed! The pita was also fresh and so good! Some of the stand outs for the main dishes I LOVED the mushroom beef dish and the chicken I got was so tender it was FALL OFF THE BONE! Also their spaghetti (reminded me more of a Mac and cheese) was so creamy and packed with flavor along with corn and mushrooms. Sounds wild, but trust me - so good! It was overwhelming trying to decide what to get next and making sure I didn't over do it too much so I could try everything! Again I know this isn't the best since I don't know all the names and I have no pictures (I ate too quickly and then realized after the fact and didn't think empty/dirty dishes would be appealing). Just trust me when I say the buffet is worth it. I then had the baklava for dessert and that was also good! We can't wait to come back and order from the menu. Looking to try gyro for sure next time! Also the grocery side is great and has a lot of items and candies to choose from. Definitely a place you'll visit and not leave empty handed or hungry!

I met a friend for lunch and decided to give this restaurant a try…read more Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted, and the cashier was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the menu and offering recommendations. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable, which made for a pleasant first impression. I ordered both the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef shawarma wrap. Unfortunately, once my order was ready, the aroma immediately told me this probably wasn't going to be a good fit for my taste. After trying both wraps, I realized the flavors just weren't for me. The meat had a strong seasoning profile that reminded me of curry and ginger. While I'm sure many people enjoy those flavors, they simply weren't my preference. I was only able to eat a few of the fries. They were a bit bland but ended up being my favorite part of the meal. Although the food wasn't to my liking, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit, which is why I'm giving this experience 3 stars. While I don't think I'll return for the food, I appreciate the great service and hospitality.

The chicken was hot, spicy and moist. The hummus was light with lots of tahini. The appetizer came with pita bread and was delicious and filling. My husband had the gyro, which was generously filled with meat and fresh ingredients. He ranked the gyro among the best he's ever had. I ordered a Tabouli salad late. It took awhile to come out and I realized that they made it FRESH! It was the best tabouli salad that I ever had. Sammie, our server, was attentive and friendly. Compliments to the amazing chef! The food is outstanding! The dining room is simply decorated, but comfortable. There's plenty of parking in the strip mall. I didn't see alcohol as an option. But they've nailed the rest. Highly recommend.

Some other Yelper wrote that Kanoon is like American barbecue blended with Middle Eastern flavor…read more That's spot-on! What a unique restaurant that checks all of the boxes for me: a creative menu, delicious food, fast and attentive but not obtrusive service, and a relaxing and nicely decorated dining room (with music, but not at all loud!). Kanoon specializes in slow-cooked smoked meats, but they also have a lot of vegetarian offerings. There's something for all eaters here. But I wasn't here to eat vegetarian: They have the meats, and I was here for the meats. I got the Kanoon Grilled Chicken Platter, which is marinated grilled chicken served over rice and drizzled with boom sauce (like a mayo-based sweet and spicy chili sauce). Think arroz con pollo, but with a Middle Eastern flair. It was amazing. The chicken is so juicy and tender that I could smash it down with my fork and it almost disintegrated. And the rice was perfectly cooked and just slightly spicy. This dish is a big portion. I couldn't finish it, so I took the rest home to eat for dinner. I'm not a leftovers eater, so you have to know that if I take food home to eat later, it has to be spectacular. And guess what: It tastes just as great reheated! We also got the Smoked Brisket Prime Beef, which comes with a side (get the bulgur wheat!). The beef was very tender and melt-in-your-mouth, and was served in slices and ate a little like pot roast. No shade, though -- it was superb. The brisket comes with two sauces: a chimichurri and a red sauce that I couldn't identify. I saw baba ganouj on the menu, and I had to get it! I am a big baba ganouj fan. This one comes with a basket of warm pita. It was good, but maybe not my favorite thing I ate here. I'm glad I tried it, though. The service is great and fast. We ordered right away and our food came out at a decent time, and we wanted for nothing.

For me, the gyros and the chicken shawarma were the stars. The falafel was also super fresh and a great appetizer. Prices were fair and we'll be back. A note on the gyros. We had both the gyro sandwich and fries and the gyro platter at our table. The size difference was quite something. The gyro was big. That with fries was a great meal! The gyro platter was HUGE.

Mostly it's because Yelp doesn't do halfsies or fractions, so I'm rounding up to four stars. The baba ganoush was amazing, though. I could literally eat Mediterranean and/or Middle Eastern food every day, and mostly it's because of baba ganoush and flatbread. That eggplant dip is one of my favorite foods in this world. Mama Saaj has some great baba ganoush and decent pita to go along with it. I also got a side of falafel, which came with a little container of tahini. The falafel were just OK. They were dry, which was a shame. Perhaps they were fried a touch too long. But I made baba ganoush tacos with my falafel by wrapping everything up in a pita triangle. With a little baba ganoush to hydrate them, the falafel were pretty decent. The service was good, but I had to ask for a plate, even though homie saw me fighting for my life with a napkin as my makeshift plate. It's all good though, because he seemed friendly. Mama Saaj is located inside Saraga, and it's one of the few restaraunts in the market. There are lots of tables at which to sit, or you can easily get your food to go.
