    Chicken shawarma salad bowl with lentil soup
    Karina S.

    I've been a big fan of SAJJ ever since I first tried the Mountain View location, and after several visits multiple locations, I've really appreciated since my last review is how consistent the food has been across visits. The flavors and portions have been reliable every time I've gone. I'm also a big fan of their BOGO deals when they are offered The setup is the same fast-casual style at where you order at the counter and build your own bowl or wrap. I usually go for a salad bowl with chicken shawarma. The complimentary lentil soup with the meal is always such a nice touch!

    Delivered in less than 15 minutes. Aka food was pre made. Cold. Chickpeas are canned. Look at the chunk of feta that was drizzled. Did not look appetizing. Food was okay. Presentation, zero.

    À la carte doner kebab. For $60+?!?!?
    Madison W.

    On Uber Eats I ordered the à la carte doner kebab. It was $60 with tip it was $70+.... This was what I got.

    Friendly and quick service. The Double Protein bowl is always a winner! The portion is huge though. You get chicken, steak, and falafel. What could be wrong with that? And they gave me a bowl of Pea Soup. I ate some of my bowl and took home the rest for a second meal.

    I snagged a gift card from Costco for this restaurant since there was a deal. I saw all the positive reviews on Yelp, so I was excited to give it a try. I really like Mediterranean food since it is packed with flavor. I am a huge fan of chicken shawarmas and the spices. I decided to stop by for dinner on a Saturday evening and was surprised that it wasn't busy. The interior was extremely clean and spacious. We each got our own bowl but none of us could finish it since their portions were extremely big. I ordered the Shawafel since it had both falafel and shawarma. The bowl was just ok and the sauce didn't taste as good as I thought it was going to be. I was a bit disappointed since it looked delicious when they combined everything together. They even gave each of us lentil soup and that was also just ok. The other bowls we ordered were the chicken shawarma and pomegranate chicken. They pretty much tasted the same as mine with a different flavor because of the sauce. It tasted a little better the next day since the rice soaked up the sauces. I think it's good deal with the gift card, but I probably won't pay full price for it. The employees were nice and friendly.

    I've been curious about SAJJ for a while after seeing its multiple locations throughout the Bay Area. The workers were really kind and helpful and made the ordering process easy. I went with the shawafel (shawarma and falafel) build-your-own bowl and my bowl was filled to the top! The chicken shawarma was flavorful and I received a good portion of protein. There were lots of toppings and spreads to choose from -- and it's great knowing that the ingredients are locally sourced! My favorite was the eggplant. I also received a complementary bowl of lentil soup with my order, which was a huge bonus and paired well with my meal. Very spacious and clean location. Overall, this experience was great and I'd come back if I'm ever in need of a quick meal.

    Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl

    Came here with friends because I saw a review saying how great their bowls were compared to other places in the area. Wow! I was blown away! Where have I been all these years? It's true, the place is like a mediterranean bowl chipotle. The staff was super nice and the place pretty chill to hang out. Where else can you order something and get a free cup of soup?! I had a chicken bowl cuz the guy behind the counter was nice enough to let me sample the meats. Normally I am a steak kinda gal but the chicken was tender and flavorful so I opted for that. I got a mixture of salad, couscous and rice and EVERYTHING that was free thrown in (oh, except olives and jalapeños). Loved the creaminess of the bowl and the mixture of flavors and textures. The best thing?! Even for the price it was too much food so I had enough for leftovers for another meal. Typical downtown San Mateo parking so I think next time I'm going to try their San Bruno location and hope they're just as good!

    Always fresh, great tastes! Consistently good. Interior looks great, plenty of room. Love the chicken, cauliflower on greens or rice with tahini sauce and the spicy red sauce:.

    Easy Mediterranean, chipotle serving style. it's nice to have an easy place for lunch downtown with fresh flavors and quick service. There were a lot of great options to add into to add into the bowl: sauces, salads, sides and we got a lentil soup with each bowl! it was great to taste all the flavors, but i'm a mixer and after a while it all blended together. Sat down for lunch inside, and they also have an outdoor patio!

    Grabbed a chicken rice bowl and it really hit the spot. Super fresh ingredients, solid flavors, and definitely a generous serving. Prices are reasonable for what you get, and the staff was friendly. The space is clean with a modern look.

It was a Saturday evening and parking is a bit difficult in the area so our food was to go. Which was too bad because walking into the restaurant as a first time patron, it felt inviting. I can picture a quiet dinner out or a larger group gathering. I was welcomed further into the restaurant by a nice woman as I stood by the hostess podium by the door not knowing where to pickup my order. Have you ever met someone with kind eyes and a warm smile? Well, that was her. The food didn't make it home as the smell of food steaming out of its container was too much to resist. We had the kabob grilk mix and oh...was every piece of chicken, beef and kafta so tender and yummy that we just pulled over mid-way home, savored every piece of kabob, grilled , warm rice, with a scoop of what I believe was Yakhni(?) and enjoyed the clear night view over the hill. DEFINITELY going back for a sit down on a more parking friendly night. And, baklava is our end game. Update coming soon! *no food pic included for obvious reasons

There wasn't even any music or anyone inside to greet us so it felt a little awkward. Luckily, a nice hostess came out shortly and gave us a nice seat by the window. We ordered the cheese boruk as an appetizer and the chicken and garlic as my entree. The cheese boruk was fresh and crispy on the outside. The chicken and garlic was also very good! The chicken was nicely cooked and I liked the garlic sauce (definitely on the stronger side!) and potato wedges. I wish the chicken was a little more grilled for some extra char, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Overall, good food and pleasant dining experience! Hope this restaurant gets more attention!

As much as Mazra is great at/known for their meats, they also put so much thought and care into their vegetables. For example, our favorite mezza is their Whole Cauliflower, which is a massive cauliflower head that's roasted and then coated with a lemon tahini dressing. (They also give you more lemon to squeeze on it.) The cauliflower always comes out perfectly roasted; the inner parts are tender and toothsome, while the outer parts are crispy and a deep, golden brown. Another great vegetable option is their Veggie Plate, which is a plate overflowing with delights on a bed of their rice: falafel; a segment of their cauliflower; roasted broccoli and potatoes; their saffron mushrooms; and a halloumi roll. Each item is about as perfect as can be, and the sheer quantity makes it a fantastic deal. Of course, we still love their shawarma plates, which you can get with either chicken or steak shawarma. The meat comes thinly cut and tender, and somehow still a bit juicy! The plates are also a great value, since they come with a ton of great items that pair well with the meat. These include a rich, savory sauce (toum [garlic sauce] with the chicken, tahini with the steak) and two of their amazing sides. My favorite sides are the baba ghannoush (creamy and earthy) and their fries (golden, crispy, and pillowy). They continue improving the space, too. The pickup window makes it so much easier to get takeout, and they've really dialed in the flow of the inside and back courtyard seating areas.

The place was buzzing at that hour. I ordered the lamb chops cooked medium with basmati rice. The lamb was so tender and full of flavor. My husband ordered the Chicken BBQ plate with garlic roasted potatoes. I'm really not into Mediterranean food but I was curious about all the rave about this place and I must say, I loved it! Before our meals, we tried the free Turkish tea, quite strong for me, added several sugar packs but no milk available. However, this place is still a win! The service and ambiance, solid. Welcoming staff. It did not disappoint. I'm coming back!
