This is one of my go to lunch place from time to time. I like it that it is healthy and there's tables inside. Everything is nice and clean. The servers that are helping to put your food together is wonderful. You can also order ahead of time online and pickup your food in the pickup shelf section. All in all, it is a nice place to have a quick lunch. read more

We had lunch at Sajj in Sunnyvale for the first time. They are located in downtown Sunnyvale. My experience here was not the best compared to the location I went to, in downtown San Jose. When we walked in, there were only a few customers inside eating. There are in a large open space with plenty of tables for dining inside. We approached the counter to look at the menu. We were greeted by an employee before placing our order. I decided to go with the doner kebab wrap and my husband ordered the steak shawarma wrap. We picked our topping while our wrap was being built. All the veggie ingredients looked very fresh. The wraps also came with a cup of lentil soup. We paid and found a table to sit at. My husband's steak shawarma was very good. He really liked the flavors and the steak. He got tahini on the side and a peri peri hot sauce. He liked both. The lentil soup was good. My sandwich was not good. The doner kebab meat was very dry and hard like jerky. This meat was not freshly made. It's as if it had been sitting there way too long and was just getting reheated all day. It was hard to chew and swallow. I was so disappointed with the quality of the meat. This was the complete opposite experience I had at the location on Coleman in San Jose. Their doner kebab was soft and moist. I will most likely not come back to this location again. I went up to the counter to let an employee know, the quality of the doner kebab was not good and should not be served to customers. I just got a blank stare from the employee, like he didn't know what to do or he didn't really care. To me, that's just bad customer service and terrible that they would be okay with serving old dried up meat like that, putting customers health at risk of getting sick. We will not be returning to this location ever again. read more

This is Mediterranean version of chipotle, with healthier ingredients and more flavors. I love the bowl. The meat choices are good. Tried the Doner Kebab and it's soft and easy to chew. It goes well with the garlic sauce and tzatziki dressing, plus the other sides and mix ins. The eggplant is good. There's salad, olives, pickles, onions and other add ons to choose from. Once you got everything in, it's so flavorful and enjoyable to eat. Service was fast at this store during a Sunday afternoon perhaps because there were less people. This place must be busier during weekday lunch hour. Ambiance is nice and relaxed. I'm glad we have this option for Mediterranean food place. This is gonna be one of my go to places. read more

On the pricey side, but you get huge quantities! One bowl is enough for 2-3 meals, and is delicious. The free lentil soup with every purchase is a great little bonus. read more

Love how you can customize your order (similar to Chipotle). The pomegranate chicken rice bowl was great and there are a lot of options for add-ins and sauces. All plates/bowls come with lentil soup on the side. The portion sizes are decent too! read more

This was really good! I had the vegan protein plate which came with rice, falafel, eggplant, chickpeas, cauliflower, pickles, a tiny bit of salad, and hummus. Everything tasted delicious, my favorite part was probably the hummus. Menu has lots of vegan options and is very clearly labeled. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - vegan protein plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came here yesterday and waited for more than 5 minutes for someone to come and take our order. No one was up at the front; we tried asking someone in the back if they could come out but were completely ignored. Ended up going to Dish Dash instead which was much better service. Have tried their pomegranate chicken before and it's pretty nice + ample indoor space to sit but will probably not come back since the owner seems a bit negligent of the shop being open/providing any kind of service. read more

Good lentil soup and fries :D I had a really great experience here! Big portions, solid quality ingredients, and it's convenient. I recommend the Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl! Well seasoned and tender chicken. Definitely try the eggplant and cauliflower too. Sooooo good, especially with the Tzatziki, Hummus, and Garlic Spread! Staff here aren't the nicest... but I'll overlook it since they gave such genereous scoops of food. Thanks SAJJ! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl with Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Decent fast casual spot. I think of this as the Mediterranean version of Chipotle - go down a line, choose your starch, choose your protein, choose your veggies and add-ons, choose your sauce... there's a good number of options to customize your entree (I typically get a bowl). The food and ingredients all taste fresh and natural (e.g. not over-processed). During my latest visit, I will say the rice wasn't the same flavor it used to me - maybe it was just me, but I feel the rice was more to my liking before. I wasn't bad, but just different from what I had before. The restaurant is clean and efficient, and the staff has always been friendly and helpful if I had any questions. If you're looking for a fun fast casual spot that's different from the usual, it's a good place to try or to add into your restaurant rotation. read more

If you're looking for fast-casual Mediterranean that doesn't skimp on **options, flavor, or portions**, SAJJ delivers--and then some. First off, the **variety is impressive**. Build-your-own bowls, wraps, plates--you name it. You can customize practically everything, from the protein to the sauces to the toppings. Great for groups or picky eaters (or people like me who want a little bit of everything). I went with a bowl and was immediately impressed by the **portion size**. Seriously, this thing was **loaded**--you will *not* leave hungry. And overall, the flavors were bold, fresh, and well-seasoned. The chicken shawarma was juicy, the garlic sauce had a perfect kick, and the pickled veggies added a nice tangy crunch. That said, not everything hit the same. The **eggplant topping**, for example, was kind of a miss--bland and mushy, and it didn't add much to the bowl. In a place where everything else was so flavorful, it definitely stood out (in the wrong way). But for the price? **Super reasonable**. You get a ton of food, fast service, and fresh ingredients at a price point that feels fair--especially in this part of town. Overall, SAJJ is a strong choice for a quick, satisfying Mediterranean fix with tons of customization and big portions. Just maybe skip the eggplant. read more

This place is best described as being like Chipotle for mediterranean food. You walk down assembly line and decide which sides / proteins you want in your order. I opted for the steak shawarma in a salad bowl and my wife ordered a similar salad bowl but opted for chicken. I wasn't the biggest fan of the seasoning on the shawarma, and preferred the chicken when I took a bite of the other bowl. But it's still super great. The portions are super big and I'm sure many people could turn a single bowl into 2 meals. They also add a small lentil soup on the side which is really nice. Overall, can't complain with the price / value of this place. Great spot for some filling mediterranean. read more

Came here for dinner yesterday and really enjoyed it! Sunday evening so there was no wait, staff were nice and filled a good amount of food. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and I really liked it, love that you can pack lots of toppings and get a lot of flavor. We also got falafel bowl and the pita bread and both were good, and we also have leftovers!! The lentil soup that comes with it is also really good. The strawberry lemonade and mint lemonade were also really yummy and refreshing. Good amount of seating as well and clean space. read more

Personally i love mediterranean food and i really enjoy grabbing a bowl here for lunch, i've tried all the meats and toppings and it's a delicious healthy choice, they include a lentil soup with your order as well which was a pleasant surprise. Service was great as well. read more

The food didn't seem fresh. The oil used to fry falafel was really bad. Service was quick, place was empty in a Saturday night, in the downtown area indicating bad food quality. It's a pity because years ago I used to love Sajj. read more

Came back here for second time and ordered chicken shawarma again, this time with turmeric rice and i like it much better than couscous as rice was fluffy. Also customer service was better as she was being helpful. I would come gain if I want to eat quick and healthy meal ! read more

I had only eaten this place as catering at an old workplace some time ago and had not tried this place myself in a while. With some friends, we stopped by for dinner and my goodness, they are so generous with the portions here! I essentially picked out all the items I could stuff my bowl with and got steak for my protein. They even give lentil soup in addition to the food. This place is a huge deal during these times and they are speedy~ read more

A chain where you can order things similar to how you would in Chipotle. This location was quite empty, so we were able to quickly order our food. Everything about the food was really fresh, delicious, and satisfying. Honestly nothing to complain about. They even give you lentil soup! It's such an easy and healthy meal that I can see myself coming back quite often. read more

Move over, Chipotle! From now on, Sajj will be our go to for fast eat out. Very easy to maintain our macro. It's about $18 per bowl but the amount of protein in the hummus, meat and etc. are double than the Chipotle. read more

Just tried the chicken shawarma and doner plates and was very disappointed. I threw out both meats and just ate the rice and hummus. The meat quality is so far below some of the other Mediterranean places in the area. read more

Nice casual setting. We ordered to go but ended up eating right there. Parking is across the street in the parking lot... can be tricky to find parking at times as it's mostly full. Ordered the pomegranate chicken bowl. It similar to the chipotle concept where you can opt for as many or as little things. I opted in for every single item there (except multiple meats, of course) It comes on a bed of turmeric rice and mixed greens. Got both egg plant and sumac cauliflower as the hot toppings ( these were the highlights- buth are exceptionally yummy). Then the tzatziki, hummus and garlic spread. Then tomato/cucumber mix, garbanzo beans, diced beets, sumac onions, pickles and cabbage, cherry peppers. Added the mint sauce and spicy tahini sauce. When you order in store, it comes with a bowl of lentil soup. The bowl easily lasts for 2 meals for me. And all this for $16 including taxes! read more

Chipotle of Mediterranean food but lots of different sauces, hummus, veggies, etc that will blow your mind away. The bowl can easily feed 2-3 people to be honest. On top of it, you also get a lentil soup. read more

I order from this restaurant frequently, but today I selected the wrong location. When my partner went to pick up my food, they realized the error and remade my bowl for free. I already love their food but the customer service is out of this world! read more

Not all Sajj locations are the same. This one is the worst. Rude sarcastic lady who skimps on portions and they also charge you extra if you want more than 1 small cup of the red or green sauces. The Mountain View location is way better. Wondering if these are franchised... read more

The staff here are soooo friendly. My friends and I came in for dinner on a weekend night, and there were only about 2 or 3 other groups of patrons in there. We had let the staff know it was our first time there, so we needed more time to look at the menu, but they were much more welcoming than expected! They even let us sample the items before we made the decision. Pricing is also very reasonable here. However, I don't know if I would recommend the falafels though... they were slightly too stiff for me. read more

This is my go to place for something healthy and Mediterranean! I usually go for the pomegranate chicken salad bowl. Do try the eggplant ragout and sumac cauliflower toppings! They are so good!! The falafel is good here too! The ambience feels similar to Chipotle. You can build the bowl and then pay for it. I like the lentil soup too here. It is subtle and warming! read more

Mediterranean food always hits the spot when it's hot or I'm trying to eat a bit healthier or lighter. I enjoyed picking my own items, designing my own Mediterranean bowl. They never hesitate to give me an extra scoop of garbanzo beans or beets on request. Since the meats are all pre-cooked and diced and ready to serve... I'm not going to knock off a star because of that format... meats are cooked well and are flavorful. My chicken Shawarma bowl was super flavorful and hit the spot today. The manager and staff here were all super nice. I also ordered a side of Falafel to go and they were scooped, fried, and served with a side of sauce. 6 for $4.95! If you know falafel, this place is gooooood. Large sized ball, Light and crisp on the outside moist on the inside. This place can go toe to toe with the other iconic falafel places around town! This place is clean, has high ceilings, and a trendy feel. Not too many tables for indoor seating. I saw many people order and take their food away. If you know this area of Sunnyvale near Murphy Street, you know that parking can be challenging during certain meal times. I'll come again to drop a belated tip in cash - apparently you can't tip if you pay by credit card for some reason. Now I know and TBH I'd love to come back! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Front of restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I came with my sister for lunch and we each got a bowl of fresh goodness. I really enjoyed SAJJ which reminded me of Chipotle in terms of how they prepare your meal. Portions were great and I got everything except toppings with extra charge. I enjoyed all the ingredients and they seemed fresh! The soup on the side wasn't anything special but it was still nice to know they serve something warm on the side. There was just one other customer when we came for lunch, so service was attentive and friendly. However, we did notice quite a bit of to-go orders ready to be picked up on their shelves. The interior was very clean and quite with music in the background. You grab your own utensils and drink on the side. There are also plenty of seating and the place is quite spacious. Parking is just right across the street so it is convenient but I do know that this parking lot can get full quickly depending on the time of day. All in all, I had a great first experience at SAJJ! read more

This place is amazing! I ordered a bowl with half salad, half rice, chicken, steak, all of the veggie toppings, tzatziki, avocado, and a side order of falafels. Everything was INCREDIBLE. The falafels were perfect. Service was impeccable (very friendly). Complimentary lentil soup with your order as well. Fresh ingredients and so much variety.. salad and rice bowls, wraps, a La carte... steak, chicken, falafels, so many flavorful veggies, hummus, tzatziki, eggplant, cauliflower... pita, pita chips, fries, desserts... I mean they have it all. Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in a while. Can't wait to come back. Highly highly recommend. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Salad/ rice bowl with chicken and steak, all of the veggies, tzatziki, and avocado. Free lentil soup! Amazing! - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I had lunch at Sajj Mediteranean-145 S Frances St, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 This was the first time ever eating at a place like this. I also liked that it was in walking distance from the Sunnyvale Caltrain Station. Parking was a bit challenging as there was an art and wine festival going on, but with perseverance, they are available. Walking into the spotlessly clean restaurant, the first thing I noticed was a pictural on the wall showing that everything was locally sourced (see photo). Walking up to a serving table of vegetables, salads, rice, advocado (slight extra charge), and other items, I decided to build a bowl to sample pretty much everything. The young lady at the serving table was excellent. She was polite and courteous. She answered all my questions. Her appearance was clean and professional, as were the other employees. The ambiance was family oriented. During my visit, SAJj was very busy. There were families, couples, and individuals sitting at the nice tables. Everything I tried was fresh and deliciously prepared. The tzatziki sauce was the best I ever tasted, along with the hummus. Each order comes with a great tasting soup. My final recommendation is the house made lemonade and other drinks. The baklava was great! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant. read more

I'd been feeling under the weather for a few days, and lentil soup is my go-to comfort food. Without the time to cook, I randomly stumbled upon this place--and I'm so glad I did! The lentil soup was surprisingly well-made, with a nice flavor. While I typically prefer thicker soup, this still hit the spot. The fresh pitas were a great touch, though I was a little disappointed they didn't offer lemon slices (I asked, but they don't carry them). Overall, I'm happy to have found a new spot for my lentil soup fix! read more

Sajj Mediterranean was so fresh and delicious. The presentation is so colorful and beautiful. I got a chicken shawarma rice bowl with side of lentil soup, steak shawarma wrap, and tamarind drink. The food is super filling and each dish would be two-three meals for me. The burrito is massive. The tamarind drink was soooo good. I would def come back just for that. The employees were so quick and helpful. The inside is really clean, with a nice amount of seating! read more

Sajj is essentially to Mediterranean what Chipotle is to Mexican, except better. They take core ingredients of Mediterranean fare and deconstruct and reconstruct into a bowl, a salad, a wrap, a platter, etc. you choose what components you want to add and in what delivery mechanism. Everything is fresh and tasty. I wish they had some more options for meat (such as lamb), but what they have is already tasty. I particularly like either the chicken pomegranate or steak shawarma. Prices are good; you get a lot of value in that bowl. It also feels healthy. read more

I got the salad bowl. loved the pomegranate chicken. there's a ton of toppings to choose from, all included in the base price. All the toppings are fresh and tasty. Only the avocado and feta is extra. the service was great. it's a casual but clean place. there's parking across the street or around the corner. I liked it better than dish n dash. read more

I had some leftovers from my lunch (chicken shawarma bowl, half rice and half salad). I like how there are so many toppings that you can mix and match. Ingredients, including the greens, felt fresh. Their interior space with high ceilings, natural light, and easy-listening music made for a good dine-in experience. Conveniently located in downtown Sunnyvale with lots of parking nearby. read more
