It does not compare to Cava's variety, but they differentiates themselves w/ their own flavors. I also enjoy them having warm lentil soup Also the Dubai Chocolate is pretty good but pricey. Service is fast and efficient - I order here all the time for office parties and they do a good job providing set up and allergy placards. Only gripe is the falafel make me break out into pimples-- I mean it's deep fried in oil -- but it just doesn't work for me. read more

My coworkers and I had lunch at Sajj Mediterranean which is located @first shopping center. First time trying it and noticed that it was a chipotle-style for middle eastern food. The parking was surprisingly good for lunch time. Primarily inside seating. The restaurant was crowded. The atmosphere was loud as it's a popular place. I chose the BYO Bowl with Pomegranate Chicken: Marinated with pomegranate molasses and grilled to perfection. I chose the tumeric rice, eggplant ragout, tomato cucumber mix, diced beets, diced pickles, Babaganous, Tzatziki, & Lemon Aioli. Served with Lentil soup. A good healthy meal with fresh ingredients! Agua Fresca Mint Lemonade: Classic lemonade with finely chopped mint. Support your local business. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Sajj Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Jose, California

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 read more

Sajj Mediterranean - Doner kebab plate - Mediterranean Near Me - San Jose, California

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. read more

I came in at 7. The open sign wasn't illuminated. It was too late to stop her from scooping the meat which she admitted had been sitting 2 hours onto my bowl. None of the items on the steam table were covered. To make things worse this was flavorless. I didn't return my food. I literally just paid NOT to eat here. I'm an Uber driver, so I needed the money for actual food. Maybe it is good at lunch time? The Lentil soup was ok. read more

It was our first time trying @sajjstreeteats and it surely won't be our last We like to eat tasty food that won't make us fall asleep at our desk so SAJJ is now in our lunch date rotation. Their meat is cooked perfectly, their tzatziki and garlic sauce are super well made plus their chili sauce adds a nice kick. I had enough for 2 meals too You can ask for sauce on the side like their feta mint dressing which lightened the meal. The fresh pitcha chips are a game changer too read more

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. read more

Sajj Mediterranean - Chicken Shawarma bowls (one with a side of falafel) - Mediterranean Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is not bad. Looks like a Mediterranean chipotle. But the food seems pretty fresh and tastes well. Well enough for the waifu to pig out. She really liked it so that is why I give a good review for this place. Staff was very friendly and even gave me a sample (to entice me like my name was Edmund Pevensie...lolz). The lamb combo was not bad. Store looked very clean and a good place to work at even. Not bad! I would come back with the fam to get another review. Above average B++ read more

I just learned about Your ridiculous policy I am a long term customer (for 8+ years) and i wanted half chicken shawarma half doner kebap but i was told no. I even told them to charge me for expensive one.the dumbest corporate decision ever. Wont be back again. read more

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. read more

On the oilier side, but otherwise gorgeous. Yummy, spacious, quick. You can't go wrong.

Sajj always hits the spot and portions are so generous. Carmen took care of me today and was so friendly and accommodating. This location really made an impression on me with their welcoming attitudes and warm personalities! read more

Great place for a quick Mediterranean bowl. Very fresh ingredients , clean and friendly service.

The lowest quantity of protein ,- even chipotle will feel like better ... A spoon of chicken shawarma which you don't even feel like it's there .. never going there again read more

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

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! read more

Good if there's not much other options in the area. The chicken is very dry. It's very expensive. The free lentil soup is the only good thing. read more

Alas I find myself at a Mediterranean restaurant, I was transported back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu... the chicken was PERFECT, the rice perfect color of mustard yellow. I tried a sip of their soup I didn't love but it's fine! The CUTEST LITTLE LADY was running the counter and she was so helpful! Like I wanna be your best friend let me hop back there with you! THANK YOU to the crew that was working 12/15/25 read more

Fast food Mediterranean with wonderful customer service. Shawarma chicken, with all the fixen ... WONDERFUL. Sauces were yummy and chicken very tasty... Winner The lady and guy working front, both superstars... Thank you, Sharine read more

Sajj Mediterranean is one of those reliable go-to spots when you're looking for a quick, healthy meal that won't break the bank. Think of it as the Mediterranean version of Chipotle--you pick your base (rice, greens, etc.), choose a protein (we usually go for the chicken shawarma or falafel), then load up with fresh and cooked veggies and a dressing of your choice. It's a neat, build-your-own concept that works well when you're short on time or don't feel like cooking. It's part of our regular takeout rotation, probably once every 2-3 weeks. The food is consistently solid. It may not be bursting with bold flavors like other Mediterranean spots, but it's always fresh, simple, and satisfying. The portion sizes are generous, the prices are reasonable, and it feels like a relatively healthy option. We tried the chicken tikka once but didn't love it--our go-to is still the rice bowl with chicken shawarma or falafel piled high with veggies. Food & Taste: 4/5 I've never dined in, but the space is clean, simple, and spacious. It's all self-serve and nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Ambiance: 4/5 Service is solid--think Chipotle-style. The staff is friendly, efficient, and professional. Their app also makes it easy to order ahead, which is a big plus. Service: 4/5 Overall, Sajj Mediterranean offers good value, consistent food, and a convenient experience. You know exactly what you'll get, and sometimes, that's exactly what you need. read more

Exceptionly friendly staff. As you enter, they say "Welcome to Sajj!" and are eager to quickly serve with a smile! Great customer service with freshly prepared meal! Reviewed by a frequent customer. read more

I've been visiting more Mediterranean restaurants lately since this type of cuisine tends to be healthier than most. I like that you can choose your protein followed by a healthier base such as salad. They give you a choice of toppings and sauce. You can add on sides for an additional cost. The service staff are very nice and the restaurant is clean. Also a good amount of tables outside with shade if you want to enjoy the fresh air. read more

Sajj Mediterranean - Beef Steak Shawarma with Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - San Jose, California

Stopped by Sajj for a quick bite to eat after volunteering at Second Harvest food bank on a Saturday morning. It was pretty empty and the staff was super helpful and friendly. Think chipotle but Mediterranean. I really liked how everything tasted so fresh and we found out later that everything was locally sourced which is a nice bonus! I got a bowl with greens, couscous, falafel, chicken and all the sides!! We also got a complimentary soup! Very happy with our experience! read more

Ordered take out here. Döner Kebab had almost no meat in it. Doesn't even come close to what a Döner should be.. Protein Bowl was one big mess of a plate and way too salty. Falafel was soggy.. I honestly cannot point out one good thing from this order. Will not order again read more

Ordered the falafel bowl with turmeric rice. It had only tahini sauce as the dressing as an option which doesn't make sense to me since tahini sauce is going to make the whole dish taste bitter if not combined with anything else. Also it was drizzled lightly that the dish ended up being dry and I was struggling to finish it. One of the worst Mediterranean dishes I've had recently. Poor portion size and the food is just not worth it. read more

Sunday August 17, 2025 around 6pm. I ordered a kid's falafel bowl. I was with my daughter. Some guy, who was friendly, prepared the bowl. At the checkout there was a lady. She told me it was $9 something. Then, as I was about to pay, she opened the already close falafel bowl, took one falalal out and put it back in their serving area. She told me that kids get only 3 falafel. So this lady went out of her way to open a packaged meal, take something out of it and put it back behind the counter. That too for a kid's meal. How mean and low does one have to be to do this! read more

Just wow! I can say this is my favorite Mediterranean spot! If i could describe this place in one word it would be: fresh! From the vegetables, protein selections and sauce-- all of the ingredients tasted fresh and yummy. First you choose your protein: falafel, chicken shawarma, steak shawarma, pomegranate chicken. I've gone there so much that I tasted all except for the steak shawarma (because I dont eat beef) and I've enjoyed them all. Second, choose whether you want it in: Sajj wrap, pita bread, rice bowl, salad bowl. I always get the mixed salad rice and get the pita bread on the side. I think you may have to pay extra, but sometimes I like to eat it like a pita wrap so it's alr Third choose ingredients: vegetables, sauces and sides. There you got yourself a healthy meal big enough for two people! Enjoy! read more

Sajj Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - San Jose, California

We visited for the first time on a Sunday evening. Right away upon entering we were greeted by the young man behind the counter, who offered us some samples, along with some suggestions on what to try. We were undecided about whether we wanted to eat there at the time, but after trying a couple of very tasty meat options we ordered rice bowls with beef shawarma. I really appreciated the variety of choices for the type of dish (wrap vs. bowl vs. salad, etc) and the choices of toppings and dressings. Even though my wife and I both ordered beef shawarma rice bowls, they were very different. And both delicious! We'll definitely be back. The restaurant is your basic fast food seeing with high and low top tables, but it was clean and had plenty of space. read more

The staff was absolutely delightful. It was my first time eating here on my own and they explained the options in a friendly manner. I got the falafel and rice bowl, It was extremely delicious and filling. It did not leave me feeling nasty or bloated even though I ate a lot! Inside there were a lot of seating options, very clean and welcoming atmosphere. I would heavily recommend this place and will be eating here again:) ! read more

I ordered two protein plates in a pick up order. The food portion is small. Missing pita breads.

Was Saaj the original Cava? This place has so much potential, and I really love the concept. The bowls were satisfying, but for the price, I feel like an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant might be a better option. That said, it definitely hit the spot and was fairly nourishing read more

Came here for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the food. It was busy during lunch but the lines moved fast. I got the falafel bowl with cauliflower and tahini sauce and rice. The bowl tasted good and quantity was also perfect for one person. Felt the price was a little expensive for what you get, otherwise overall good place to quickly grab and go or sit down. Would recommend! read more

Got a chicken shawarma bowl and it was basically tasteless. The only toppings I liked was the garlic spread, olives, and cherry peppers because that was the only things that had flavor. Not impressive and you get so much better Mediterranean food at Dish Dash. read more
