I love coming here when I need something quick and healthy. I always opt for the bowl and love me a side of the lentil soup! Took my mom here recently to have her try it and even though she doesn't explore too much in food she enjoyed her salad. The lady helping us that day was so nice. She honestly added to the experience!! read more

SAJJ has been my staple the entire 2020. I really appreciate SAJJ and their sustainable, fresh ingredients. It is honestly one of my favorite Middle Eastern spots in the Bay because of how authentic and delicious everything is! I usually get the half salad, half rice bowl with chicken shawarma and load it up with veggies, pickles, sauces, cauliflower, eggplant, etc. The bowl can last you two meals because of how large it is! Every bowl comes with a free lentil soup on the side too. The staff are so friendly and quick. I enjoy the customer service and always have a positive experience. I also crave SAJJ all the time. This truly is one of my favorite spots in the Bay and I'm so happy they opened one near where I live! Definitely, definitely give SAJJ a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

DELICIOUS. If you like food that is flavorful, healthy, and filling you need to go to Sajj. Their portions are great for the price, so I'd go here for lunch or dinner. I loved the chicken schwarma plate, and used tons of hot sauce and garlic sauce with the pita :) it was fabulous for dinner, and even had some left over for lunch the next day which tasted great COLD. Other honorable mentions are the toppings. I loved the sumac cauliflower, garbanzo beans, and pickled turnips! So random, but you could tell just by tasting them that they were fresh and that says a lot about a restaurant when they pay that close detail that even their toppings are BOMB! For dessert, you've got to try the baklava it's made fresh every day with walnuts and honey! read more

"Hell yes!", if I may be so bold. Sure, I've been to several Chipotle-style mediterranean chains: Cava Grill, Soom Soom, Got Eatta Pita -- and this is absolutely as delicious and among the top 2. With a choice of Falafel, Steak Shawarma, Chicken Shawarma, Shawafel (half shawarma, half falafel), and Pomengrate Chicken -- you build your bowl/salad/wrap, and scoot to the right along a marvelous bevy of toppings to nothing short of deliciousness. Because the chicken shawarma and pomegranate chicken are both dark meat, I took my snootie-self to bright side with the Steak Shawafel (steak shawarma and falafel), and built a bowl filled with rice and all kinds of unlimited toppings. I loved. Free lentil soup was included, it was fresh but thin and just not that great. Still, it was appreciated. [$12.95, 4.5 stars] During the damn COVID-19, I was able to sit outside with my babe...and we gobbled up our similar bowls, and it was so much, that we both had leftovers for the next day. Score! read more

Came here for the first time last week. This location was another type of food place. Very clean inside and the staff is friendly. This place is setup like how Chipotle is. I got one of the wraps and it was so big I only ate half and ate the other half that same night. Really like the portions you get. Food was actually pretty good. I have to try all the sauces though to see which one I like the best. I do like that your oder comes with a small cup of lental soup. just not sure if all menu options get that lental soup. Lental soup was very good but more on the thin side. I will go here again. read more

I really wanted this to be good because I like Cava. This style is like the Chipotle for mediterranean food. I think the amount of choices you get and sides is good, but the quality of meat and portions is sorely lacking. I had the chicken shwarma and the chicken was often shredded vs. in chunks. They have limited spicy options, the tahini and peppers. The spicy tahini is not spicy enough. The peppers carry more heat but really those seem to be the only two options. I wished they offered a couple types of hummus. At the end of the day, I still prefer Yafa in Dublin. read more

"Friendly Staff, Healthy Selections" First time at this restaurant and it was a good experience. It's in the old Muscle Maker Grill spot, which I used to patronize quite a bit. It's a little different inside, with dark wood tables and gray toned wall decor. As before, there are also some wood tables out front. The nice server suggested the chicken pomegranate, which I had in a rice bowl for $11. I added a little bit of each of the vegetables. There is quite a good selection of vegetables. The meal also comes with soup. It's lentil soup, but actually just broth. Total including a soda was about $14. My rice bowl was quite a generous portion, and was just right for me. Not so enthusiastic about the broth soup. So overall, a good experience. However, I still miss Muscle Maker Grill. The parking around lunchtime can be pretty tough in the center, so you will need to be patient. For another option, try the Kebab shop near Camino Ramon. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken pomegranate Rice Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

The first time I tried this was at their restaurant in Menlo Park. Went here for the first time in San Ramon. Pretty good, I got the salad bowl with Shwarma Chicken. The garlic spread was the most memorable. I should not be eating too much garlic, but if it's good, try to stop me. I paired it with the mint lemonade and good to go. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Luckily it was the holiday week, so I was able to snag a seat. There's also outdoor seating available. I will definitely go back. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Today's take out lunch! - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

SAJJ replaces Muscle Maker Grill in the Bishop Ranch Shops. Its a custom-assembly operation, much like Yalla Mediterranean, Gotta Eatta Pita, and Kebab Shop. I really enjoyed my lunch at SAJJ and believe they are upper tier among the aforementioned restaurants. Being new, the restaurant is clean, service fast and friendly, and yes locally-sourced ingredients! Prices are very reasonable for what you get, quality and quantity-wise. I got a Turmeric Rice Bowl with Chicken Shawarma and Falafel. The Falafel was unique in that it had a crispy crust but incredibly hot and moist interior. I am accustomed to dry falafel so the SAJJ's version was so much better. I also loaded up the veggies with eggplant, onions, beets, hummus, and a spicy Tahini. Delicious and filling! They also threw in a small, savory lentil soup. Another thing that sets SAJJ apart from the competition are their desserts. Baklava for $2 or $3 depending on walnut or pistachio versions. For $3, I recommend getting their mini cinnamon pita chips and CHOCOLATE hummus. Healthier and tastier than a chocolate jello pudding pop! read more

Oh Sajj, I have missed you so much! I used to visit Sajj in San Francisco all the time because it was near the office and my nephew is a strict vegan so the vegan options are amazing here. It has been a while since I've been here, and I was feeling like we should eat vegan for lunch. So we ordered Sajj and I forgot how much I loved the salad bowls. I ordered the falafel salad bowl and you have so many options but I selected half power salad and half arugula for my salad and then I chose several of the options for accoutrement to be added on top of your salad. As for my partner, he ordered the chicken Shawarma salad also with the salad being half half so that you have enough arugula to be healthy and not overpower the flavor of your salad. We were super happy that a little lentil soup comes for free when you order a salad bowl. I like that you can order food and have a side salad of lentil soup which is one of my favorite soups but I'm glad we eat it at home because I always add lemon to my lentil soup because I'm weird. But I was really happy that my salad was very fresh and had super foods in it. And topping off my salad with avocado always makes my day. Note: Make sure you bring cash to tip if you're ordering in person because paying with a credit card does not allow you to tip properly. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Falafel salad bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

I've tried Sajj once and I found the experience to be great. I was served more food than I could eat and it all tasted very good. I ordered a steak bowl and it came with soup on the side. I drank a strawberry lemonade and ate a side order of pita chips with hummus. The bowl was customizable through a chipotle-style ingredient selection process (good for picky eaters like me) and it was only about $12. There were plenty of condiments on the side and the service was quick and friendly. I wouldn't mind coming here again. Mediterranean isn't my favorite cuisine but Sajj did a great job of serving tasty food that didn't break the bank. read more

Brought my girlfriends here to the grand opening of their new location. Didn't realize they have so many locations open. You order at the counter (the same as chipotle style) Menu is simple order a protein ex chicken , beef or falafel served in pita , salad , wrap or rice bowl choose which condiments you want on top , of course I wanted to try everything so got the works in a rice bowl. I recommend a bowl vs a pita like my friend order because she said you can't fill to much inside a pita I especially liked their pickles and pickeled beets Their garlic spread was nice also not too garlicky taste , in all everything tasted good I was expecting a long wait in line because they had so many people their for the grand opening but it went pretty fast. Staff was friendly, I even chatted with the owner. read more

I wished I lived closer, this place has quality Mediterranean food at a fair price. Quality service too

I've been under a rock, why have I not tried this place? I had the beef shawarma in a rice bowl. Rice and couscous combo. Beef shawarma- little on the dry side Garlic sauce and tzatziki sauce- so so good. Add in whatever sides/veggies you want. I loved the sumac cauliflower and eggplant along with tomato/cucumber. Delicious food and will def be back again. read more

From entering immediately greeted by staff. Was not sure what to eat so I was offered samples of various meats. Had the pomegranate chicken with falafel's. The flavors were amazing and fresh tasting. During dining staff assured we were enjoying the meal. Strong recriminations. read more

I was in the area and the gf and her family decided to get lunch here. I have been to the SAJJ in Menlo Park, near my work many times before and was very happy with my meals. I ordered my favorite which is a rice bowl with Shawaffel (shawarma and Falafel), which I usually get with the chicken shawarma and almost every topping they have along with eggplant with a lentil soup on the side. Delicious and fresh as always, the consistency between locations is spot on. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken Shawarma Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Fresh food, kind workers, and they get extra points for having vegetarian and keto options!

Food taste was not so good. Not much flavor. Tastes like they made the food the day before.

My go to for lunch whenever I'm working in this area. I always order the Saaj wrap with falafel or chicken shawafel with all the fixings and it always hits the spot. The many options for fresh ingredients to add to your wrap or bowl is one of the many things I love about Saaj. The green sauce is a must! Not to mention, each meal comes with a warm lentil soup, which is great way to start any meal. The lady that works here provides genuinely, friendly service and is informative if you have any questions. My only wish is that they had a location closer to where I reside in Fairfield! read more

So happy to find this place so close to home! I got the chicken shawarma over rice bowl and oh so many toppings! I love my veggies so I had to get them all. Bonus points for sourcing their veggies through local farms! They had 3 sauces (tzatziki, garlic spread, and hummus) and my one mistake was not getting the garlic sauce. I don't know why I didn't, I think I just panicked and went with tzatziki and hummus, which, to be clear aren't bad, but I'm just a sucker for garlic. Overall, the servers were so friendly and patient, but also efficient. Food was good portioned and priced well, but also tasted great. We did takeout but the interior looks super hip. There is a small outdoor patio for those who are still not into the indoor dining scene. This is located in a huge shopping complex so parking is easy. Check this place out! read more

SAJJ is if Chipotle took a vacation in the Mediterranean and came back brand new. Delicious, fast and customizable, SAJJ is a great choice if you are craving some Mediterranean food on the go. Food -similar to a build your own bowl you can choose between different proteins, veggies, carbs and sauce. I love how you can tailor your bowl to your dietary preferences or nutritional goals. I could be having a cheat day and get extra yogurt sauce or loading up on post workout double protein. Food quality is great and tastes fresh. Service -quick and friendly service makes SAJJ a great option and experience. You can be in and out very quickly. Environment -clean and new. They have seating inside or you can take your food to go. Plenty of parking! Overall, try SAJJ and you won't be disappointed. It is a great option when you want some delicious Mediterranean at an affordable price. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - SAJJ Build your own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Yes yes yes! This is my new favorite takeout spot. I live in the area and have been wanting to try SAJJ, and I'm glad I finally did. I ordered online through the website. When I went to pickup my food, there was a rack off to the right of the register for pickup orders. There was signage but I wasn't sure if I was just supposed to go over there and grab my food or not, but I saw someone else do that so I did the same. The order receipt is attached to the outside of the bag and the bags are stapled shut. The food was ready on time and I was in and out of there very quickly. I appreciate the efficiency. Ordering online was very easy. I chose to build a bowl with steak shawarma, turmeric rice, all the spreads, all the toppings, and all the sauces. You can add the complementary lentil soup. The cilantro mint chutney and hot peri peri sauce can be added to the side. I also got an order of fries. Decided to go big and it paid off! Wow! This food was SO amazing. I mixed everything together in the bowl. Every ingredient was fresh and delicious on its own but together the flavors and textures were beyond my expectations. The cherry peppers were quite spicy for my taste so I ended up picking some of those out but I would 100% reorder with all the other toppings/spreads/sauces again like I did. The bowl itself was weighty and fulfilling. They don't skimp on the portions and I was able to stretch it to two meals. The lentil soup was a nice accompaniment to the meal. It was simple and satisfying. The fries were awesome, too. They were cut like steak fries but had a nice crispy coating. Yum. I had such a great first experience that I'm already thinking about what I will order next time. Thanks for the great local eats! So happy to have you in the neighborhood! **Tip: when you sign up on their website, you get $5 off your first order. They have a rewards program where you can earn discounts for future orders.** read more

Located in the Target/Whole Foods strip mall, in the corner of the parking lot between Peet's and the tanning salon. They have outdoor dining on a cute little patio. Their business model is cafeteria-style, a la Chipotle. 1) Pick a protein. 2) Select a style from pita, wrap, or bowl. 3) Choose toppings and dressing. Got the falafel rice bowl today. Yellow rice is topped with 4 large falafel. Loaded up on garnishes. Loved the eggplant, sumac onions, mint, and beets in particular. Also yummy were the 2 accompanying sauces, one red chili and the other a green herb like chimichurri. Both were spicy. I tried both and didn't really need the balsamic vinaigrette I chose as a finishing drizzle. The complimentary lentil broth was OK. Flavorful but thin and watery because it was just broth. I prefer soup with more heft. Overall, a pretty satisfying lunch but a few minor quibbles: - The radishes were crunchy and pretty in pink. However, they were cut into long, thick batons and were awkward to eat. - The falafel were good, fresh but cold. Wish they were cooked to order and served warm, like they do at Y - - a H - - - - s in Dublin. Cold, they were a little bit dry. I ended up heating up the falafel when I got home. read more

The moment we walked in the door, we were met with incredibly friendly service. She walked us through how everything works, essentially forced us (in a good way) to try samples, all of which were delicious. I got a pomegranate chicken/shawarma wrap, and it was HUGE and delicious! This place is also SUPER generous if you're a student - I ended up with a wrap, a drink, a lentil soup, and a bag of pita chips for ~$13, extremely worth it! Would definitely go back and recommend. Was clean and comfortable inside as well. read more

I first tried SAJJ when they had food trucks at Off the Grid! That was years ago and I was excited to see them open a restaurant in San Ramon. We ordered their family meal and what a deal!! Beef and chicken shawarma, falafel, salad, rice, hummus, tzatziki, and various sauces were all included. Our favorites were the moist falafel, well seasoned chicken and creamy hummus. We want to go back to try their bowls and wraps! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Family Meal - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

I eat here often. This location has tough parking and the customer service lacks English speaking skills. I don't have anything g against other nationalities or languages, but if you don't understand how to make a kids bowl with only chicken and rice than it's kind of an issue. Chicken in one side, rice on the other. Now after that vent- haha! The place has decent food. It a good place that doesn't skip on giving you extra condiments- sometimes you have to ask them to put a little less actually- your bowl can drown in the amount of sauces they put on top. It's like a subway/chipotle setup- you pick the stuff you want in your bowl throughout the line. read more

will say staffs are nice. came here twice and they always greet their customers and they are so attentive. the ambience is ok. foods are great and should say price is wise. this restaurant is highly recommended!!! i encourage to get the bowl with the eggplants and beef and mixed it with the green chili sauce ~ it is so good!!! definitely will come back... read more

I've been to this East Bay location of Sajj twice since its opening last month. The first time, I ordered the SHAWAFEL (beef + falafel) in a salad bowl and on my second visit, the Chicken salad bowl. This is similar to a Chipotle where you can get numerous items in your meal. I chose all three spreads, hummus, tahini & butter to go into bowl. I pretty much chose everything that was free (with the exception of Garbanzo beans) to go into my bowl. On the side, there's green chutney and chili sauce at your disposal along with water The meal is filling and for those with a light appetite, it can easily be two meals. I used the app which included a $10 off coupon. Just remember to add a Payment Method before redeem your coupon. A good location across from the new San Ramon City Center and next door to Peet's coffee (once you get food coma). The service is fast and friendly with a descent size patio in front. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean is in Muscle Maker Grill's space. after choosing protein & serving style, server guides u chipotle style thru offerings of toppings, spreads, sauces.

(better than chipotle, Kabob guys?). -free lentil soup included. nothing wrong nor memorable about it. -everything tasted fresh but not memorable. 4.5 stars leftovers: -no more free lunches offered -10% off if ordering from app -not much parking in lot nor seating in SAJJ. -expect prices to rise after a few weeks..... read more

Food is great and it's very convenient of your in a rush. Great service and very friendly.

We were the first customers yesterday at Sajj Mediterranean. They are located in the former Muscle Maker right next to Peet's Coffee. My husband and I like Mediterranean food, so I couldn't pass up trying Sajj. Since it was their soft opening (apparently day 2 per the manager or supervisor), they were offering complimentary lunch. I am shy and don't go overboard so I ordered 2 bowls for four of us. My husband was at an appointment so I ordered one to go for him. The process to order your bowl or wrap is pretty simple and similar to Yalla, etc. Of course, they don't want to be compared to Yalla. Her face "crinkled up" when she asked if I've been to Sajj and I told her no. I said, "I've been to Yalla many times and your concept is similar." There is an extra charge of $1.50 for the avocado and another item. I could barely hear her and there was only one other lady customer behind me when I was in line. The food was dry for me. I think because she didn't really offer any sauces or tahini and I noticed as the corporate lunch crowd swarmed in, their bowls looked a lot more full and had sauce poured on top. I tipped and the lady behind me was by herself, ordered two bowls to go and grabbed her bags and took off. She didn't dare crack a smile or say thank you to the staff. Honestly, that is a pet peeve of mine. Most businesses aren't that generous and offer such a great deal. Come on now, free lunch?! I did tell the manager/supervisor that I would post pictures on social media and in different groups for San Ramon/Danville/Alamo. He smiled and said thank you. It did take longer than I wanted though so my girls were getting a little impatient. I don't know..I just felt obligated to spread the word. Lol. All in all, I'm glad there is a restaurant that isn't another burger or pizza joint. Yes, I'll be back. read more
