I just can't decide on this place. I tried it twice and think it's OK. Not super, but not bad either. Their Yelp check-in deal of 1/2 price is pretty amazing, and for that price you can't go wrong. Their food tastes healthier than other "fast food" types of places and it definitely has more flavor. Gives you that Chipotle feeling as you're ordering, but the taste is obviously much different. Their ordering system is quite simple. Choose Falafel, Chicken or Steak (or a combo of them), then choose if you want it on a plate, bowl, or wrap, and then add in all the other stuff (lettuce, etc). Again, the idea is good, the restaurant is new and modern, and the food tastes ok. It's just not something that I crave after not having it for a little while. read more

Ive had variable experiences with the various locales and i think i may have honed in what i should get. Though i keep experimenting. The newest of the empire was only serving lunch for a bit. Got the steak shwarma jn a rice bowl, eggplant, humus. Thats it. Came out pretty good. They give you a small somewhat diluted lentil soup with a pita chip which is ok. Space is brand new and super clean. Decent for a quick bite and run. 3.5 stars read more

Chicken Shawarma salad is not what is shown on the menu, very misleading. The image on the menu has many ingredients (cucumbers, tomato, sauce) this is literally chicken and lettuce. Very disappointed in my order. Wish I would have known that I had to select everything. read more

I always enjoyed walking to the Menlo Park location from my office. Now that we moved, it's been rare that I could make my way back. Fortunately, they now have a location in Mountain View and one very soon in Sunnyvale! This is the "chipotle" of mediterranean food so you can create a wild number of combinations of base, protein, and sides/add ons. Everything is fresh, delicious, very filling, and reasonably priced. read more

I've been to the Sajj food truck before, which I thought was just okay, and had no idea that their brick & mortar would be so much different (and better!). Sajj - the store - is a more Chipotle-style type of place. You decide if you want a pita, wrap, salad or rice bowl, choose a protein, and load up on a ton of yummy toppings. Their falafel balls are pretty large and taste great. I always get a bowl so I can fill it with lots and lots of extra toppings - because why not?? They also serve a small cup of lentil soup with every order, which I was super confused about and find a bit unnecessary since I get so stuffed from my main entree. But, whatever, I'll take it. Their serving sizes are huge and such a good value. Download and pay with their app to eventually earn some free credit. The quick and efficient service here, plus the delicious food, will make you want to keep coming back! read more

I read another review that called this a Mediterranean "Chipotle"... and it's true. For me, the fifth star on this review is for the price. Very affordable! And very filling. A smorgasbord of flavors and pleasant outdoor seating. The meat is halal, and there's even wifi from the Sleep Number store next door. What more might anyone need? read more

Think of a Mediterranean style Chipotle for you city folks. The place is clean and food is great. Id actually prefer this over chipotle if I had to choose. However the protein portions are seriously terrible. $9 for a bowl and you get 4oz of protein. Extra protein is almost $5 more and it's 4oz. Standard 3. Quick and fresh grab. Cilantro chutney is not to be missed !! read more

I have to say this place really cares about their business and customer satisfaction. After my experience with staff forgetting to put steak in my steak bowl through doordash, the manager sincerely apologized and mailed me a gift card. I appreciated the way they do their business and how much they evaluate their customer. And again, the food is delicious fosho. read more

Chipotle style, Mediterranean food- Yum! I honestly wasn't sure what to think when I was in line, but I was thoroughly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I honestly think it was the sauce that really made it great. Chipotle style means, you go down the service line, picking out the items you want, and you food is ready after you pay. Love it. You start off picking if you want a shawarma, rice bowl or salad bowl, then you get the meat etc. I wanted to try the salad bowl, but added a scoop of their saffron rice, I had eggplant and cabbage, beef, tomatoes, and topped it off with the garlic and tatzaki sauce. After mixing it all together, I loved how it tasted. I also got a side of their bread for $2.00 (?), and I thought it was pretty good. I had to wait a little for the bread, but it was very hot when I got it, so it was worth the short wait. All in all, I am impressed that they managed to make a fast food, chipotle-style Mediterranean food taste good. Well done. read more

The staff was friendly ass I walked in, greeting with a smile. The location was pretty clean an organized as well. I ordered a chicken shawarma in a wrap, the flavor and sauces were pretty flavorful and light, plus a nice little complimentary side soup. I would definitely come back to try the bowl with some greens next time! Overall great experience read more

What's not to like about this place? It's quick, lots of choices, relatively healthy (for fast food, at least)... Sure, the portions are not huge. But they are appropriate for the price. That is something I cannot say for the majority of restaurants these days. read more

First time here at SAJJ Mediterranean! The food was delicious and fresh! Ordered the falafel bowl with tumeric rice. Also added the cauliflower side, and cabbage with hummus! Also came with a bowl of soup ! Really good and fresh, I usually go to dish n dash, but this place is WAY better! My stomach felt very good after - didn't feel like the food was oily or greasy. Will definitely be back here again and will have to bring my entire family next time! read more

The server gives you all the salad choices. It even gives a free soup for COVID-19 pandemics.

Sajj is conveniently located near Safeway, Walmart, Trader Joe's. Also, they have an app, so you can definitely save some money from your order especially if you're a first time customer. I do think that ordering in store is better (despite the wait) as some of the things available in store wasn't on the app (cilantro dressing, spicy dressing, one of the grains). The portion size is humongous - usually we never really have leftovers, but for Sajj, we actually weren't able to finish all our food (in part because they also give free lentil soup with each bowl, and we also did the Yelp check-in for fried pita chips that came with a side of hummus). I like that they let you order as many toppings as you want. So many toppings that I can't remember which one I enjoyed the most, or could even tell apart, since they all kind of blended in the bowl for me. My only gripe was that they put too much sauce in there (not actually sauce even, but the hummus and tzaziki were so flavorful and too much that it overpowered the whole bowl). Next time would ask them to be less generous with these sauces. read more

Seeing all the lovely pictures on SAJJ's website, we were excited to try them out. The food looked fresh and healthy, creatively presented in an array of gorgeous serving dishes. When we arrived we saw it was dried out steam-table food assembled Chipotle style and served in paper and plastic. We left. Clearly, with 15 locations and food trucks, my dislike of steam-table food served in disposable containers is the issue here and not the SAJJ concept itself, however, I think a little more truth in advertising on their website would have better set expectations. read more

I hardly venture outside my Chinese comfort food since growing up my stomach was sensitive to almost anything, but as I get older it seems like I can tolerate more variety of food. So when the kids decided to try A Mediterranean food, I turned my shield down and off we went. All I can say is that I'm glad we tried this place. I think the food was somewhat modified to attract the palate of everyone picky eater or not. The setup is similar to Freebird, where you pick your meat and everything else you want with it. Once you're done you have this very colorful food in front of you. The food is great, the chicken swaharma taste really good and the spice was not too overwhelming. Overall, the food was great and I certainly recommend it read more

I really liked this place but now I have my hesitations. My husband and I used to come here often but after tonight I'm not sure I'll be going back. I found a cap nut in my bowl (see picture) and that's not safe. Luckily I didn't swallow or bite into it or my teeth would be sorry. Watch carefully as they fill your bowl.

Got here for the first time for lunch with my husband. I got the pomegranate chicken salad he got the rice bowl. Both came with a very good soup, and we got the pita chips on the side. Everything was awesome!! Nice and friendly staff, the young lady at the creation meal area took the time to explain us how the order system works and took care of us to get our meal set. we add some feta for an extra charge, it was delicious (perfect balance of flavor). We will definitely recommended and we will come back to try other items combinations from the menu read more

Got a chicken shwarma bowl today and this place was amazing! Would definitely return to any of its locations. You can add on as many toppings as you and it was delicious & healthy. A great takeout option. Yum! read more

Love the falafel and all the bowl combinations (you pick your favorite items) all fresh.

Awesome place with variety of selections. Food is delicious, good prices, and alot of healthy options. I definitely recommend it!!! read more

The best fast-casual Mediterranean food I've ever had. Loved the ordering process at the counter and the plates were massive. Decided to add some chocolate hummus as a dessert and, oh man, those tasty cinnamon pita chips along with that chocolatey goodness sealed the deal! I was in town traveling for work so I haven't been able to get back, but everywhere I go I search for something similar - haven't found it yet so may just have to jump back on a plane to San Jose! read more

So it's 4 stars because I have only eaten here twice. First time I had a falafel pita from the Moveable Feast Food truck and it was awesome! Very filling and full of flavor! Just stopped by the new store in. Mountain View and had a falafel pita for pre work meal and tried the cranberry chicken wrap. So GOOD! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - BOMB! - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Solid concept, fair execution. I like how you can get falafel and shawarma in the same pita, but the distribution is really bad. All of the falafel was at the top and middle, and the shawarma was densely packed along the bottom. So I filled up on chickpea and grains, not protein. Boo. Also everything was rather one-note and bland. They need to step up their acid game and add some salt. Its no falafel stop, so don't come here with the anticipation of replicating the experience. It is good though. If I'm shopping at Safeway and I had a craving, I'd definitely stop by for another visit. read more

This is chipotle for med food. Build your own pita, wrap, salad, rice bowl. Choose protein: steak, chicken pomegranate, falafel. Choose conveyance. Add goodies: eggplant, onions, arugala, tzatziki, hummus, spicy tahini. Huge portion. Two people worth of lunch. A med place that I would return to. Huge. read more

Somewhat like a Mediterranean chipotle. Steak shawarma bowl is delicious and can last 2 meals. Vegetables and sauces are fresh and delicious. The pickled vegetables are great as well read more

My real points would be 3.5 stars. The food is good here but staff are not frienly and sometimes rude. The bowls are tasty and you get to choose your own veggies and toppings. My favorite is pomegranate chicken with rice and cauliflowers. The fried vegies like eggplant is very oily. I also like the tzatziki sauce and turnips. The price is reasonable and the food comes with lentil rice.hint hint: check in on yelp and get a free bag of pita chips. read more

Very good chipotle style food! They give LOTS of food in the bowl, looks like much more than the wrap. The toppings include non-trivial items such as roasted eggplant and cauliflower. For nearly $10 a bowl they definitely give enough to split between two people or enough to save for a later meal. Definitely a place I see myself coming back to when I'm too lazy to have dinner at home. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Assortment of cookies...and a cup - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

This is a review of the experience (not the food). We lined up, ordered our bowls. The bowls of warm food with cold toppings sat on the counter, whilst he continued to served people. A backlog of food was sat on the counter because the guy at the check out was still busy. They had run out of pita bread and were refusing to give an alternative bread to the guy who was asking. There was a lot of confusion. We were still stood there - maybe ten minutes or more? In the end, we gave up and left. Our warm food was cold and the cold toppings were warm by this point. No way were we going to pay for that. Definitely a fast food place that needs some extra customer service training. Staff did not smile or say anything or apologize for the wait. read more

This is my favorite casual restaurant. They have delicious healthy food. The staff is super nice. William is the best! I strongly recommend getting either the salad bowl or the pomegranate chicken here. I also suggest the spicy tahini sauce and the garlic spread. This is also a great venue for kids. They have Kraft style Mac and cheese and other tasty options. I eat here at least 5 times a week. It keeps me on track with my diet, and I enjoy every meal! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Love this place for the convenient, flavorful, delicious $10 bowls of rice, meat, salad greens, pickled things, hummus. Yes, I said it. $10. Same price at lunch and dinner. I love that they have one of my favorite things, roasted cauliflower, as a topping. If you can make yourself stop eating halfway, you might have enough leftover for another meal! Or bring your significant other, and share. Enough for two OR one hungry teenager or elite athlete!! I appreciate that the bowl, plate, pita, salad pricing includes all the toppings, unlike other places that charge for specific toppings. The first time I tried SAJJ, I said yes to all the toppings, but now I know which ones I like and dislike so I can create the perfect Mediterranean rice bowl each time. If you're unsure what to order, they'll give you samples. Not sure if they sample the falafel balls as I've never asked to sample that. I like to order the bowl as it's easiest to save leftovers for later. Just add lid! My perfect bowl includes rice, chicken shawarma, arugula, mixed greens, beets, cauliflower, pickles, hummus, garlic paste, regular sauce. So yummy. I had the pita chips before, but these are too greasy and oil-laden for my taste. Complimentary lentil soup. A bit salty, but otherwise very tasty. Several fresh juice drink options. Came in once closer to closing time and we were still helped with a smile. Although they hinted they slowly turn up the music after closing time to get folks the hint. Haha. Got it! Parking is free. Pretty easy to score a spot nearby in the private lot shared with Safeway, The Counter, Sleep Number. It's easy to get lost in this shopping center. I usually turn into the center too soon, behind Starbucks, Veggie Grill, Pizza, and end up in the old part of San Antonio Shopping Center. The restaurant is on the side of Safeway, over by The Counter, near the corner of El Camino Real and San Antonio, if that helps!!! Get the app. Load your credit card and pay with app to earn rewards.

I'm a long-time customer because I love their food and service. The restaurant staff were always warm and friendly, which made me feel at home. However, they had two completely new staff members when I visited today - without masks and chatting with each other while distributing food. Moreover, the one who prepared food for me didn't wear gloves either and served as cashier at the same time. They absolutely didn't have any concern about food hygiene, not to mention that the pandemic is not completely over. I'm very disappoonted and won't come back. read more

Kind of disappointed that my steak shawarma bowl didn't have any veggies on top. It didn't look like other people's posts at all! The meat also very dry too, sigh. The soup is also only half full in the bowl and its $2.50! Not sure what happened, not sure if I'd go back again. read more

I went here looking to get a good falafel, but unfortunately everything was already cooked and was served soggy and cold. Falafel does not keep well sitting out at room temp, so they should really make them to order unless they think they'll be able to turn them over quickly. I hear the one in Palo Alto is really good, but after trying this location I probably won't be back. I don't think I'm the only one-- this place is always empty when we frequent the counter, a burger place next door. read more

I do like to come here for a quick dinner. There is normally no line and since the food is already precooked you get food within minutes. They also give you a warm lentil soup (which is pretty salty) on the side. It warms you up, especially during the colder days. They have different protein (chicken, beef or falafel) and you can choose the style (salad, rice bowl, pita bread or wrap). The rest is unlimited topics except feta and avocado costs extra (very similar to Chipotle but the food tastes very different since it is Mediterranean and not Mexican). You have to get the cauliflower, it's by far the best option, so delicious. They are very generous with the amount, especially humus, you get a big blob. Extra tip: if you can't decide you can split (ex half salad, half rice). read more
