Sajj Mediterranean is a great spot when you want something hearty that still feels clean and healthy. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and well-seasoned. It's the kind of place where you can load up on flavor without feeling weighed down afterward. Solid go-to for a satisfying, wholesome meal. Love the Chipotle style setup so you get to pick your favorites and are in and out quickly.

I love Sajj so much. I don't know why I don't go more! Portions are huge, food is always fresh, nice clean inside, fast and friendly service! Love the chicken shwarma bowl! Tried the donor grill wrap and it was incredible. Fries are crispy and made to order! Pita is fluffy and delish. Love the pita chips and hummus! Can't say enough good things!

Build your own bowl 4/5. I thought this was ok compared to cava. Everything tasted a bit bland even the sauces. Portion size is big though and it's filling while still being healthy Wasn't a fan of the lentil soup but it was free

First time trying this location and first time trying a plate. I got the Uber eats deal so each plate was about 11.5 which is a great deal! I think back then they only had bowls and those were huge... I dunno if the portions have come down a bit I'll hafta try a bowl to compare. The portions for the plate were decent. I wouldn't say generous but not skimpy either. I tried all the diff proteins and they were slightly dry but generally solid. I kinda like Nick the Greek bowls better since there's more meat but I do like that this tastes a bit more authentic and I do love that they have beets and jalapenos as an option. They are also generous with the sauces which I do like. Overall, solid healthy lunch option prob wouldn't make a detour for it tho

The drinks

Food was outstanding. I love the lentil soup and the couscous. I had the lamb and beef wrap. The food presentation is not great. These types of food are not attractive in a scoop bowl. And they don't look especially fresh. But it tasted great. Service was good. Dining room was clean. Bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Instead of sitting at the table and chatting when no one was at the counter, I'd recommend maybe an employee head to the bathroom and tidy up a bit.

The food was great and portion sizes were generous. Staff were all super kind and patient. Prices are decent. Overall, a quick and yummy meal! Loved being able to personalize my bowl, Chipotle style. They have a bunch of topping options and all were delicious, especially the eggplant and cauliflower--highly recommend those! The chicken shawarma was flavorful, though cold ): Also enjoyed the complimentary lentil soup! The perfect hot appetizer to our meal. My first experience here did not disappoint.

I have passed by Sajj many times before but haven't been here until a lunch buddy suggested it. We arrived around 11:30 and it wasn't busy. None of us had been here before. We all followed suite with each other and ordered the salad bowl. You pick your protein and in what. You can get it in a wrap, or with rice, freekeh, or couscous in a bowl. Pick a spread or all three. I got hummus and garlic sauce. The other option is tzatziki. There are many toppings to choose from, vegetables and sauces. Some, I believe, are at an additional cost. There were too many ingredients to name what I got but bottom line, it was delicious! You also get a cup of lentil soup. The place is very clean, and there are tables outside. It got very busy toward the end of our lunch but it seemed the line went fairly quickly. I didn't realize until later that they have self serve water and soda fountain where you get your napkins and utensils. There was a green sauce in a squeeze bottle. It didn't have a label but it was good! I will definitely be back.

Salad bow, chicken shawarma, with a soup of lentils.

Sajj never disappoints. It's consistent, food and variety are greatl, the restaurant is clean. The group of ladies at the counter today (Fri October 17, 2025) were not only very kind, but went above and beyond to accommodate my order and fix and issue with my mobile app. This is the first time I hear a hello and welcome to customers since my last trip to Japan where service is world class. And they do it for every single person coming in. Sajj is top notch food and service! Bravo!

Amazing pita chips
Jill M.

4.8 stars! This spot is always on point. Fresh, healthy, and amazing flavors. My favorite lunch spot!

Danelle S.

5 stars all around! I can't speak for the ambiance because I got it to go but ... Walked in and the smells were amazing! The young lady helping was super kind and let me taste the couscous before getting it! Wow... so good! Never had it at all and it was the base of my bowl! Chicken shawarma and I LOVED the beets and tomato/cucumber! Everything was so fresh and perfect before I went to a concert. Definitely will be back!

Dairy allergy here. Does the chicken or steak have any dairy?

Can you order half order of 2 meats, similar to Chipotle?

At the moment, if you'd like to mix proteins, our menu offers an extra half scoop of any protein to any entree… 

Are there any fillers in the sharwma meats? For the Lamb, beef, chicken, pork? Looking to order on menu that's low carb.

Reviews sound very good....wanted to know if their menu is Halal? Thanks

Hello, Yes all of our meat is Halal in all of our locations. Hope to see you again soon. Best,…

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

It's a nice cozy restaurant near the Chenoywyth VTA train station in San Jose on the train side. My brother and his friend have been going here for maybe twenty years. The food is tasty, the rice has a nice flavor, and the chicken has onions and other vegetables with some spices with which I wasn't able to identify. They offer a chai tea without milk, it was sweet and very flavorful. I also did takeout and ordered a goat dish with rice for my mom at home. She also enjoys eating this dish when she comes here with my brother. I would definitely come here again.

Today, I decided to order the Chicken Fajitas, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, it was the most delicious fajitas dish I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the vegetables were cooked just right, and all the flavors came together beautifully. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. I've always enjoyed the food here, but from now on the Chicken Fajitas will definitely be my regular order. Well-deserved 5 stars. Thank you, El Halal Amigos!

This was my very first visit to El Halal Mexican Restaurant in the heart of downtown Willow Glen,…read moreand I've been wanting to stop by for a while. I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

It's like a cross between a western style bbq joint and a middle eastern twist with its meats and food. Turns out, this place is mainly an Afghan restaurant! It's half eatery half a butcher shop for people to come and purchase fresh meats for some home cooking. In fact, I watched a lot of people coming in and ordering meats to go. I ordered their chili lamb kabob which was tender and juicy. It had lots of flavor from the spices but enough to where it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered it on top of a pillow of rice which was fluffy and buttery textured. It was delicious. There are sauce bottles to pair with the meats which is my favorite part. I really liked their white creamy yogurt sauce mixed with their red house chili sauce. It gave my lamb meat so much flavor and some heat. I loved my order and will definitely order two next time. I also want to try their steaks. They take their time grilling their meats so orders can take a short while. It's worth it for sure. No complaints here but I do wish they played some light music in the background for some ambiance. Things can be real quiet in here so it can be awkward dining in. Other than that, I really like this place and will be back for more.

Best Mediterranean food I have had!!…read more And the staff was incredible!! D was the best host ever!!

Social media strikes again…read more.. I came across a reel on IG featuring Iraklis. The food looked intriguing and scrumptious...in other words FIRE! I would not have known about this place if it wasn't for the reel. I'm also not familiar with Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. Thought I'd give it a shot. Not the biggest of venues, it a bit small on the inside, they have few benches and tables outside. Parking wasn't an issue, plenty of spaces in the parking lot. The staff was very helpful and informative. This is a fast casual spot with table service. They do bring the food to you, but you can help yourself to everything else afterwards, is: water, sauces, napkins etc. #SyrianEats: WRAP: ~ SHAWARMA: Damascus style CHICKEN - 5/5 Absolutely DELISH!! Love the garlic spread that came on the side. The wrap was already tasty enough, but somehow it was even tastier with the Garlic spread. Even the fries that came with it were spectacular! That drizzle pomegranate molasses... just DELISH!! This was one of the best wraps I had Stateside. Actually the best! PLATE: ~ MANSAF - 5/5 The Lamb shank was excellent as well! Tender fall of the bone with flavor galore, and the butter sauce was amazing as well...delish! The rice that came with the Lamb shank was OK. It was probably good, but the flavor profile didn't stand up to the rest of the food. I thought it could use more flavor, but that just me nitpicking... 4.5 ***** rounded up to 5***** for me This food here is amazing. I'll be back...

Not a lot of chicken even after paying for extra meat but the wrap was delicious. The pickles were my most favorite accompaniment with the wrap. The toum was garlicky and delicious!
