We placed an online order for about 25 people. The delivery was late. Nothing was labeled - we did not know what were soups, sauces or dressings. Not even the spicy items. Food was no longer warm. Some of the dishes lacked flavor and/or spices. I spoke to the manager Mayelli and all she did was give excuses. Since it was not considered catering she said they don't label, cut the pita bread, etc. She also did not seem interested in receiving this feedback. Next time we'll be going to Mediterrean Grill - all the time. read more

omg the food tastes soo good!!! came here after working out with a friend. he got the chicken kabob rice bowl and i ordered the pomegranate chicken salad bowl. pomegranate chicken bowl 5/5 they allow u to select as many sides as you want and they were all sooo tasty. food looks clean and the flavor is really good. i haven't had any luck with mediterranean in the past few weeks and this place really saved me LOL. highly recommend the pomegranate chicken!!!!! my friends chicken kabob was a bit dry and less flavorful.. the cashier was kinda rude tho....i'm only giving 4 stars because of the service at the end and my friends dry chicken ;(. other than that I LOVED IT! read more

Great lunch spot! Reminded me of another similar style place where I live. Fresh food, good flavors, big portions! They had canned soda which was nice to choose from. Recommend for sure!! read more

Man I love their chicken rice bowl but I recently tried these items which sucked: Protein plate- the meat tasted oddly bitter and sweet. Definitely spoilt Pita wrap- hummus was barely there it was the driest wrap I've ever had read more

Simple food. Basically like a Mediterranean Chipotle. Normally, I don't even like Mediterranean food. I appreciate the quick service and good value of this place. They aren't stingy with ingredients. I have a big appetite and I wasn't able to finish my chicken shwarma bowl. It was also nice having an alternative to tzatiki sauce, which I am not partial to. Great place that I'll definitely come back to. You get a little free soup if you eat there too. It's reminiscent of sambar. I enjoyed this a lot. read more

If you want great Mediterranean food, look no further. This places is sooo good! My husband ordered the pomegranate chicken rice bowl and I ordered the falafel rice bowl. The flavors are perfect, they hit the spot and the amount of food you get in each bowl is insane. I ate my bowl over the course of two days for two different meals! We also ordered online and were a bit late to pick up the food and it was still warm and tasty. I highly recommend visiting this amazing place if you want some good food! You will not be disappointed. I couldn't even take pics of my bowl because I just scarfed it down! read more

I really enjoy Sajj's bowls! See picture for a chicken shawarma rice bowl - it's packed to the brim with a large variety of all kinds of healthy toppings (e.g. a variety of vegetables) and spreads (e.g. hummus, tzatiki). It's delicious as heck! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Build your own rice bowl! - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

I love their menu options. I usually get a salad steak or chicken shawarma bowl and add most of the toppings. My favorites are tzatziki, pickled turnips, pickles beets, and feta cheese. The falafel is pretty good. However, I prefer Egyptian homemade falafel more because they taste way different and they're made out of favas beans and greens instead of the chickpeas and greens used in the United States at most restaurants. They both have high protein, I prefer the fava bean option because it's softer when you eat it. The lentil soup is ok, I'll eat it if I'm really hungry. read more

Really nothing special - somewhat bland, self service. Just an average chain. Unlikely to go back.

Thrilled to have discovered Sajj. Hip concept and decor. Easy ordering system. Fabulous ingredients. The result? Genius. Pick your meat--I selected the Steak Shawarma. Then select your delivery system--I wanted Pita bread. Next, you pick from various clusters of options. They are offered 3-4 at a time so that it is not overwhelming--roasted eggplant, hummus, peppers and turnips, spicy sauce. Drool! There is more spicy sauce and cilantro chutney at the end, so do not dismay if you already overstuffed your pita pocket before getting to the sauce. There was something very synergistic about the end result--creamy hummus with fiery peppers popping off. Crunchy salty turnips with tender earthy bites of beef. Herbal, tangy cilantro chutney with pungent edgy onions... each bite contained an ensemble of different flavor combinations that delighted and surprised. The rice bowl was also delicious and a great way to catch sauces. It is also probably the most filling of all the options. The chicken shawarma was earthy, even more tender than the beef, and very more-ish. Priced less than $10 per entree, delivered with high efficiency and expediency. No, there is no comparison to an open-ended middle eastern meal of platters shared with friends where you are tearing pita bread to swab up morsels of food, but this is a perfect set-up for a quick, casual meal grabbed on the go. Check-in to Yelp for free Pita Chips. read more

Unsure if it was due to my ravenous appetite or the fact that this bowl is full of yummy esa, but this was one of the most delicious meals I've had in a very long time! I ordered the steak shawarma rice bowl with garbanzos, mixed greens, pickles, cabbage, beets, cherry peppers, feta cheese, onion, tzaziki sauce and spicy sauce. I also added cilantro sauce on top of everything. The blend of all the ingredients made for a very delicious bowl. They were very generous with all their ingredients. I also ordered a mint lemonade which was AMAZING. I highly recommend this place to anybody in the area. In terms of cleanliness, everything was impeccably clean. I came during covid period and all the staff were wearing gloves and masks. They were very organized and proper covid protocols were enforced. Their outdoor dining was distanced adequately. read more

This place needs a makeover. The staff are bored and have no joy or energy serving food. The owner/chef should understand spices and flavor making tasty meat/chicken. Adding spices doesn't mean the food has to be spicy. Texture of meat is like cardboard. The entire buffet has bland food no flavors. They don't deserve my stars selling substandard food for such a high price this is an insult to the Mediterranean rich food culture they deserve to be represented better. read more

This is a healthy Mediterranean chipotle substitute. We come here at least once a week! Quick, easy, not too expensive, completely personalized, Sajj is the best! Everyone should try it at least once. Very fast service as you're at the counter choosing your ingredients. Very easy vibe read more

Needed a place to chow down after survival training, and Sajj (pronounced "Sah-jay-jay") seemed to be an awesome place to go! And it was! I wish there were more of these around as Mountain View isn't the most convenient for everyone, but I'm still glad we got to try it! We were helped by Willy, who took the time to explain all the components to us! It's hard to decide when everything looks so good, so I just went with my gut on this one :D I ended up with a wrap, chwarma+falafel combo with garbanzo beans, Mediterrean vegetable mix, beets, and sauce on the side. I wasn't sure how different the pomegranate chicken was from the regular chicken chwarma, but there is that option too (and don't be afraid to ask to try!). We also got the baklava which were crispy and pretty good! Also, they have homemade tamarind and mint lemonade which is an awesome deal if you're eating in! Overall, really cute place with great food - will be back again! read more

Food is usually good but sometimes they put the containers in the Togo bag vertically which results in the humus and Greek yogurt all mixed together. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Know what to expect. This is Chipotle-style Mediterranean fast food. So no, you won't find tabbouleh or kebab or lavash bread here; that would be like trying to find prime rib at McDonald's. Individually, I enjoy cauliflower, cabbage, beets, arugula, onions, hummus and garlic sauce, but when you put them together in a bowl, it's like too many people trying to talk at the same time - too many flavors clashing. The price was reasonable - my chicken shawarma bowl was $8.50 and came with a small cup of lentil soup. The check-in offer was free pita chips, but nobody in our group finished them all. Between being heavily fried and some of them being too doughy on the inside, the chips weren't all that appealing. But the most disappointing thing was the customer service. I won't take up half this review with the minutia, but essentially the lady at the register botched our punch card (Sajj has a punch card where you buy 6 lunches and get the next lunch free) and claimed we had one punch fewer than we really did. I really hope it was an honest mistake (I'd hate to think it wasn't), but she wasn't friendly about it, most of our group had already gone outside so I couldn't double check the numbers with them, and I didn't want to make it a big deal. Overall experience considered, would I come back? Ehh, only if I'm really craving something resembling Mediterranean and I'm too lazy to drive the two miles to my favorite, authentic Mediterranean place on Castro St. read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers and we were all fans! I decided to try the chicken this time, and they let me try the pomegrante chicken. I loved it, but asked for half and half of the pom chicken and chicken shwarma. To be honest, with all the toppings and sauces, I couldn't taste which was which. Got a rice bowl with lots of eggplant and cauliflower since that's my favorite part, arugula, and a little too much of the 3 sauces. I wish they could understand when you want just a little, you really want just a little. Checked in for the pita chips, and got it with a side of hummus. Food was really good, enough for 2 full meals for me, and the pita chips were way better here than the N. First street location. Nice they also give you a side of dip as well. The place is a little confusingly set up as you have to walk to the end to start your dish, everyone seems to walk straight to the cashier. Great deal on the food, and feels semi-healthy! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Shawarma bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Food is good. Service is excellent, the staff was wonderful to deal with. Absolutely recommend.

Sajj is the perfect stop for a quick, healthy, enjoyable lunch! I had a pomegranate chicken salad bowl. The toppings were the best part, although I enjoyed the chicken too. I really loved the hummus and tzatziki, eggplant and cauliflower! Each entree comes with a free cup of lentil soup. It's not the best but it really is nice to have the extra touch if you were really hungry. Although, I was pleasantly surprised with the portion size. I did not leave hungry! At $8-$10 per entree it's a great value for the quality and variety of ingredients. Would be back here all the time if I lived nearby, but unfortunately I'm just vacationing! read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend! She tried the chicken schwarma wrap and was wowed. The wrap was well seasoned, moist balanced and hugely Delicious. The soup was flavorful, seasoned with fresh cumin, tamarind, ginger and coriander (we think). Follow up: We had saved the pita chips for later in the day. When we got to them they were still delicious but definitely a heavy snack. Very oily and heavily herbed. Great if you like oily dense pita chips but not a light snack. Great spot to stop in for lunch, friendly fresh and quick! read more

The food was excellent. I ordered a vegetarian salad bowl. The hummus and Tazhiki were very flavorful. The service was timely and covered all aspects. Their falafel was pretty decent as well. The person at the counter was respectful and decent. Can't write much about their non veg dishes though. The place was clean. read more

I decided to try this place based on reviews yet wasn't pleased with lunch meal. Lentil soup was lentil broth with pureed lentils at the bottom. I expected some depth with veggies and lentils I'd be able to see. Taste was fair (I ended up adding salt and crushed red pepper for taste). I tried the vegan plate which tasted overpowering of garlic and onion. It's missing a balance of flavors from Mediterranean herbs (basil, bay leaf, cloves, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, paprika, rosemary, saffron, sage, tarragon, thyme, and turmeric). Chickpeas tasted as if they were right out of a can and placed on top of rice. It's easy to make a meal overpowered by garlic & onion. The best thing from this was the naan & hummus. My search for a great Mediterranean restaurant continues. read more

I ordered one of their bowls and it was incredible. There are so many different things in it that I lost count. There was beets, tomatoes, onions, peppers, cabbage. The sauce was very yummy. I aso really liked their hummus. It had a really nice aroma and really goes well with the rest of the bowl. I also liked their tahini sauce. The sesame smell was really INTENSE and that's how I like it. I don't know what it is but I really like anything sesame. The bowl was a real treat with all the different flavors, textures, and colors. Everything was fresh and tasty. I must come back and try some of their other dishes. Also maybe I'll bring a friend next time so I can steal some food from myfriend. :) Definitely a six star place. Oh wait, you can't give six stars? Okay, I'll give them 5 and half stars instead. :) read more

It's like chipotle meets Mediterranean. Good food. Enjoy the selection. Would recommend

The server was sullen, cheerless and angry. The falafel had been sitting in the warming tray since lunch. Overcooked, dry, and hard. Ambiance, none. Dark, cheerless, and unwelcoming. I will never come back. read more

They have the worst falafels but pretty good bowls. Just don't order the falafels and you would keep going for the bowls.

This was my first visit to this place Jan 21st and I ordered chicken shawarma in a rice bowl. The quantity of rice and chicken was pretty good. The other options were at no extra charge. Good quantity for the price. It is like a chipotle for Mediterranean food. The best boy downside was that the flavor of chicken was pretty average. The chicken was a bit on the bland side. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken shawarma in a rice bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

SAJJ is great! The food is delicious, fast, and always very fresh. It's set up in a chipotle style where you can choose a rice bowl, salad, or burrito and customize all the toppings along the way. It's also decently priced as we got 2 rice bowls, 2 cups of soup, and 2 chips/hummus for about $25. I wanted a falafel bowl but they were out so ended up getting eggplant (which is still very yummy). However, as we were checking out the server rushed over with some freshly made falafels for free, which was super nice. Also if you check in with yelp, you get free chips and hummus! read more

The replies from the owner are automated and they definitely pay people to leave 5 stars. I'm telling you the food is not that good. After a horrific dining experience at this disgusting location the management reached out to act as if they cared and to ask for more details about my visit. They also offered a refund but 22 days later and still no response. I will be filing a report with the Better Business Bureau. They clearly don't care about their customers. read more

Did an online order and pick up was quick and easy. Food was ready when we arrived. As for the food, it was delicious. I had the chicken shawarma build your own salad bowl. Very self explanatory, you pick your base, protein, sauces, and sides (cold or hot). May have to pay for some of the extra sides like avocado and others. This also came with a lentil soup which is delicious. Basically, the concept reminds me of those build your own "poke bowl." For the quick, easy, convenience, and delicious food delivered it is a great place for a quick pick up for lunch or dinner and even for a quick bite with a coworker or friend. The restaurant is located in a plaza with other restaurants and retail stores near apartment complexes. There are Many available spaces of parking in a busy plaza lot. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Build your own chicken shawarma salad bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Be prepare to be surprised. Sajj is surprisingly tasty and affordable middle eastern food. My husband got the chicken pomegranate wrap and I got the steak shawarma salad and we both agreed that the food is on point. The only problem is, you don't get much for what you pay for and the portions are really small so we actually went home still hungry. My husband is from Nazareth and when we go back for similar food it's dirt cheap and they give you enough to be full... so we were irked that they were trying to up sell his childhood foods. The location is nice the food does taste great but for the price and the portions not so much. read more

4.5 stars! Sajj Mediterranean is a simple, fast-casual chain that absolutely delights with its combination of fresh and pickled ingredients and fantastic flavors! As simple as the food here may be, I was impressed by the set up and the great value during my first visit, and I'll be back again! Like many other customizable, fast-casual places, you can pick among different proteins: falafel, chicken shawarma, steak shawarma, and pomegranate chicken in a rice bowl, salad bowl, sajj wrap, or pita bread. I went for the falafel and pomegranate chicken in a salad bowl, but the main standout here is all the sides and dips you can get in your bowl/sandwich alongside everything else. The fried cauliflower, the eggplant, the pickled peppers, Israeli salad, cabbage slaw, and sumac onions were all fresh and amazing, and the three dips--the hummus, the garlic sauce, and the tzatziki simply exploded with flavor! Each order here comes with a small bowl of lentil soup, and you can get free, freshly-fried pita chips on the side with a check-in on Yelp. The chips are perfectly seasoned with za'atar and make for the perfect vehicle for those dips that I mentioned! And once you get your order, you can get some of their amazing hot sauce or cilantro chutney on the side, both of which just add to the combination of flavors! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Rice Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Great for takeout, lots of toppings and variety. Lentil soup is FIRE. So good never skip it. Beef a bit dry.

Wife writing the review today - we want to give this 2 1/2 Stars - I pressured hubby into 3. Love the concept! Personally if we lived close I would try again - hubby wouldn't. Staff was friendly and offered samples of a few items - this is awesome! I tried a falafel- it was sadly cold, dry and bland. Happy to have tried it otherwise I would've made a bad choice. We tried the pomegranate chicken it was tender and good. Hubby created a bowl with their "yellow rice", chicken, garbanzo beans, tomato & cucumber salad, arugula and not sure what else it was the guy suggested. The combination was not good. Overall it was dry and the chicken was lost. Such a shame because the chicken was so good on its own. Hubby picked thru a quarter of it then tossed it. I love interesting and new flavors and had the employee tell me what he's eating tonight - my bowl had the following - marinated beef (employees favorite), yellow rice, scoop of pink seasoned cauliflower, scoop of the delicious warm eggplant, spinach, cucumber / tomato salsa, spicy tahini. I really liked my bowl. :) The beef was flavored nice but tough with grissle. The eggplant was amazing and the marinade / juices from it added enough moisture in the rice to keep it from being dry. Super full - portion was huge on the bowl and flavors of mine were great. I can see how this could be hit or miss - if you pick the wrong combo it can be a let down. read more

My fav!!! My go-to lunch! I love the flavors of all the proteins and toppings. They are also very generous with their servings! :) read more

SAJJ is so amazingly good at what they do. I love the pomegranate chicken, which I always order in a bowl - make sure to ask for extra cauliflower which is so bomb! Hummus, yum. Garlic spread, yum. All the toppings and add ons, yum. Portions are huge so this is always spread out to two meals for me, making it value on top of delicious. Bonus: the ingredients are so balanced, so I feel good about eating this! It has been a little frustrating recently because they are a chain, and when the app updates or runs into issues, the actual store employees are not able to help troubleshoot and sometimes they can be reluctant to give the same deal in person even though the app is not working. At the same time, the app is nice in that there are lots of deals you can take advantage of (like $10 off your first purchase!). I just wish the local employees were more trained on how to deal with app issues! read more

This is the worst Sajj location in my opinion. I like the food, but these guys are stingy to an annoying level. I just paid $16.64 for a wrap that is barely 7 inches. The employee literally put four drops of sauce on my wrap and I asked her if she could put more. She said there was an extra $0.5 charge for extra sauce! I would understand that if this was a $8 wrap, but it for a small $16 wrap they only put tiny bit of food and an extra spoon of sauce comes with an extra charge?! Do they have any shame?! How cheap can they be?! And it's not like customer service means much to them. I mean good luck getting anything more than a nod when you enter the store and say hi! I'm not expecting them to say hi or welcome, but maybe they could return my hi?! I wonder why the employees at this branch are particularly grumpy and appear to be unhappy? read more
