    SAJJ is a great spot for a quick, healthy, delicious, and inexpensive meal. They have plenty of meat and vegetarian options. We had an eggplant rice bowl and falafel salad bowl, and both were excellent. Thanks to Angri for her fast and courteous service!

    I had such a good experience at SAJJ today that I wanted to leave a review. Ingrid, who was working the counter, was outstanding. She didn't just take the order, she actually helped tailor it. I like my wrap a certain way, and she offered to split it half and half so both parts were made exactly how we wanted. Not many places do that, and she made it look easy. The food was excellent. The pomegranate chicken was fresh and full of flavor, the tamarind drink was perfect, the fries came out hot and crispy, and the free lentil soup was amazing. It tasted homemade and comforting. Ingrid was friendly, patient, and clearly cared about the details. Experiences like this are why we keep coming back. Big thank-you to her for going above and beyond today. Strongly recommend this SAJJ location.

    Chicken wrap bites
    Imran K.

    My go-to order here is the chicken wrap bites - it's not listed on the menu in the restaurant, but you can ask for it or order through the app. They come with crispy fries, a garlic sauce, and a side of lentil soup! It's total comfort food. The Arabic music playing in the background sets the ambiance as well. It's never too crowded, which makes every visit quick, consistent, and enjoyable.

    Falafel Salad Bowl
    David K.

    Sajj is one of my favorite fast-casual chains for its fresh, vibrant Mediterranean flavors that come at a great value. One of their newest menu items is the Döner Kebab, a grilled lamb/beef mixture with a Turkish-inspired spice mixture. But my personal favorite protein is the classic falafel, chickpea fritters flavored with herbs and spices. The friendly server insisted on preparing these fresh for a perfectly crunchy exterior and warm interior. My go-to order is the salad bowl, topped with hot sides (eggplant ragout, sumac cauliflower), dips (hummus, toum, and tzatziki), and cold toppings (including cucumber/tomato salad, sumac onions, chopped beets, chickpeas). All these items together make for a healthy, delicious meal, paired with their creamy hot lentil soup and sauces (spicy peri peri, cilantro chutney). These are Mediterranean flavors at their best, and the affordable prices and friendly service can't be beat!

    Tried the new chicken kebab today, and wasn't a huge fan. Chunks were cut bigger than I prefer, the chicken breast was quite dry, and the flavor didn't make up for any of its shortcomings. I feel if they used thigh meat it would have been a better experience, but overall I wouldn't get this again. I'll stick with my pomegranate chicken which never disappoints. Portions are still great so I still love SAJJ overall. Also, today the soup was unusually thick, which is inconsistent with the SF and SJ locations being soupy. I think they added too many lentils.

    Steak Shawarma Bowl
    Ashley F.

    Ever since our friend showed us SAJJ during our stay in San Jose, it has become our favorite build-your-own bowl restaurant. Cava in San Diego is pretty good, but what sets SAJJ apart from their competitors is their free lentil soup, complementary cilantro mint chutney, spicy tahini sauce, and the depth of flavor from their vegetable sides. The store had ample seats and we were lucky enough to have the entire store to ourselves dining in on a rainy Friday afternoon. I wish SoCal and SD had SAJJ; until then, I'll make sure to make a pit stop whenever I see one!

    Lentil Soup
    Harvey K.

    SAJJ Mediterranean is located in The Shops at Bishop Ranch shopping center, across the street from THE LOT City Center. I met my buddy Ven here for lunch on 03/03/2024. We walked in at around 12pm and the restaurant was completely empty. The rainy weather probably had something to do with that. We were greeted by the lone male staffer, who was friendly. Since this was our first time eating here, we had a couple questions about their food. He was able to provide us with quick answers. Ordering here was simple and similar to other fast casual chains. We each got a rice bowl (I got steak shawarma and Ven got chicken shawarma) - which came with your choice of protein, rice, veggies, and a small bowl of lentil soup on the side. With a couple drinks, the total was somewhere close to $40. I also got some free pita chips with a Yelp check-in. Our order was assembled immediately, and it was ready in no time. I was pleased with my rice bowl. The steak was decently tender, the rice was flavorful, and the produce was fresh. The lentil soup was good as well. All in all, I liked my experience here. The food was delicious and filling, and the service was good. I will be back. 4 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Free pita chips with Yelp check-in. - Ample parking on site. - Major credit cards accepted.

    Fast, convenient and overall healthy option if you are near Bishop Ranch. I called this a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, which is great because I love that concept. You pick however you want your entree, bowl, salad or wrap and they stuff it with a LOT of things. Choice of base, protein and a lot of veggies and greens. Their sauces are a bit too salty for me, so order the sauce separately. Their lentil soup is warm and hardy, perfect side dish during winter days.

    I went to Sajj, a Mediterranean fast food spot where you build your own bowl, kind of like Chipotle, but with a Middle Eastern twist. I ordered the Shawafel Bowl, which comes with your choice of shawarma (I picked chicken) and two falafels. The bowl felt like a healthy meal especially with the turmeric rice and all the fresh toppings I got to pick myself. It was filling without making me feel heavy, which I really liked. I'd say it's like a cleaner, lighter version of Chipotle. Although, to be honest, Chipotle still wins when it comes to flavor punch. I chose tahini sauce, but they only gave me a light drizzle. I wish they added more, especially since tahini brings everything together. Also, the falafel wasn't great, it had a weird taste, like it was fried in old oil. Hard to explain, but it just didn't hit the mark. Still, overall, it was a solid meal. It's my second time eating here, and I'd come back again, just maybe skip the falafel next time.

    Wrap to go!
    Hanna L.

    Very good Mediterranean restaurant in town! All ingredients tasted very fresh and healthy. I had a wrap with pomegranate chicken, grilled eggplant, and all the vegetables except for chickpeas. Plus spicy Tahiti sauce, which turned out to be a really good choice. I don't know what pomegranate chicken is, but it's very tender and juicy. Love it. Highly recommend it!

    Dinner time!
    Nelly K.

    Faith restored! Someone has been listening since my last review and there has been a tremendous improvement in quality of service here. Unlike last time, my chicken shawafel was topped with a layer of chicken, the sauces were nicely spread out, the server was very communicative and the shawafel was nicely prepared! Also the place looked extremely clean and did not smell like Fabuloso haha! Check out the new pics of the stuffed chicken shawafel in pita! Will be definitely coming back again and again, thank you Sajj!

Then another family of five, who also appeared to be the same race as the owner, came in about 10-15 minutes after us and received their food well before we did. I don't know why our order kept getting pushed behind everyone else's, and I can't say that race was the reason. I can only describe what I personally observed. Being passed over while multiple parties who arrived later were served first made us feel overlooked and unwelcome. We waiting about 30 mins for one plate of food that my son and I shared. The service left a very negative impression, and I won't be returning.
