The food from sajj is great but this location is terrible I made an order through the app and used a coupon and when I got there my order wasn't there. The pick up time was 4:30 and I came at 4:50 so either they didn't make my order or gave it to someone else. Then instead of making my order the guy working tried to doubt me when I clearly showed him my order. I definitely recommend sajj but not this location unless they get it together!!! read more

Fresh ingredients with great flavor. This pretty well sums up the food at Sajj. Highly recommend! I've had the Falafel and pomegranate chicken so far in burrito form. OMG Delicious! I will definitely be back! Excellent service as well. Kind and very helpful. A must try! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Very nice and kind staff and delicious halal food. I would recommend it 100%. Will go here again.

Huge fan of Sajj! Chipotle-style restaurant, but with a mediterranean twist. The flavors in all of the add-ins are out of this world! My go to is a salad base with pomegranate chicken and veggies w/ hummus and tzatziki. This place has quickly become my go-to lunch spot. It's light, flavorful, and different. read more

Good food but not totally gluten-free so not safe for celiac or wheat allergy. I am so sad to have to cross this place off of my list of safe places to eat. I saw a pita being prepared today and the person used the utensils that are used for all of the food to place the food on the pita. So all of the utensils for making a salad or rice bowl have also touched against a wheat pita. Once again this makes me think that restaurants shouldn't be able to claim their food is gluten free unless they take precautions to make sure it is. They should label their food gluten light so that people who absolutely need gluten free don't eat there. read more

This place is Mediterranean Chipotle. I know, I know...another Chipotle knockoff. I like it! Lots of veggies and seems like a cleaner alternative. Wish they had more veggie options (tofu, maybe?) I got the falafel since that's the only veggie option they have. I have to say though, CAVA on the East Coast still has my heart. *swoon* read more

Great food! Great flavors. Lots of veggies - good value. You can customize your meal - I like spice and I can spice it up, or you can choose a less spicy option. I have taken many friends there - and 100% have been delighted too. read more

This place is a hit or miss, really depending on who is there making the food. We've gotten take out at least 5-6 times already, and half the time our order is missing something- either a meat or side dish which is super annoying. Other times it is extremely soggy or there's like no meat whatsoever. The other half the food is well made. I love all the toppings and sauces they have to offer and the meat is all really well flavored. I would just check to make sure your order has everything and not choose more than 2 sauces for your orders read more

We grabbed a late dinner around 8 to 8:30 and it was completely empty. Their menu is supposed to be read right to left which is kind of odd. The workers were kind of rude and impatient so it made that experience of ordering kind of stressful because you add various condiments, sauces, and vegetables to your dishes. I got a falafel wrap and my friend got a bowl. The food itself was pretty delicious and I enjoyed it, I'd come back for the food! Unfortunately, there were additional staff who while we were eating were talking loudly to each other and joking around, they were also playing around quite loudly like you can hear things fall on the ground or they were being rough with the kitchen equipment. I'd say this place would be 4 stars because the food is pretty good, but the service wasn't that great and they had a distracting staff. read more

The cleanliness of the restaurant, the fresh presentation of the food and the courtesy of the workers keeps me coming back for more.

Love coming to Sajj for Mediterranean food! I am pretty American and I love the choices you can choose from. You can make a bowl for yourself and pick what you want in your bowl. It also came with a cup of soup. There is also this cilantro green sauce that is good, there are bottles on the side you can use at the table. read more

I work tech nearby, come here weekly. Food is good food is fresh but just little pricey. Chicken Shawarma very full flavor and falafel is fresh. Recommend if you want flavor fresh healthy food! read more

I live this place and eat there every now and then when I'm in the neighborhood and wants to grab something quick. Much better than a sandwich at subway or a burrito, and different from a poke. The portions are generous , the quality is good . The one thing they can improve on is making sure the falafel balls remain fresh (perhaps fry them closer to the order time?) - sometimes it feels they've been sitting there for a while . Recommended read more

I love their shawarmas. Way more flavorful and unique than the usual shawarma. Pick up is always on time and the employees are nice.

My family loves Sajj and we frequent Sajj locations in San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and San Mateo location. Aside from the San Mateo location, all of the other Sajj's are great - generous portions and service with a smile. This Sunnyvale location, in particular, makes you feel like they are really happy you're there. I've never asked for extra anything because I've never had to here. read more

Leans towards salty food. Lots of good flavors. The Garlic is strong and not for the weak! Great staff. Good value if you want to pile on the quantity. read more

I love SAJJ very filling always nice people. Today we had the pleasure of having Maria waiting on us. Extremely nice and again I am sooo full! Love you SAJJ read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Falafel bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I've come here several times. The ingredients are always fresh and the customer service is great. Sometimes they offer a free lentil soup and have promotions through their app. read more

I did takeout, and could not have asked for a better experience. They finished my food ahead of time and had it ready to go on a rack near the cash register; no need to bother anyone, just take your food and be on your way (although I wasn't paying attention and still had to ask the cashier--oops!) I love Mediterranean food as well as customizable bowls, so SAJJ was a no brainer! read more

The service on sajj is excellent, all the staff is amazing and the food delicious. I love eat on sajj, if I can give more than 5 stars I will do it! read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Really don't understand why this restaurant has 4.5 stars when if you read a lot of the negative post, they say almost the same thing. Please refer to my last review where I left 2 stars. After that, the owner or manager actually got in touch with me and we discussed the issues that transpired. He offered to send a gift card just like from the other negative posts. That was at least 2 months ago and I never received it. I guess when you tell them that sending a gift card is not a guaranteed change of review, they change their mind and not send anything at all. Take note I have never been back to this place since. I don't personally think I will. There are several popping gems nearby down the street. That's where Ive been hanging out. read more

Tried this spot again because I had some delivery credit. The chicken bowl with all the free add-ons was actually pretty good. I don't know why the food was off the first time I tried this place. Not a big fan of the pickles but everything else was solid (eggplant especially). read more

Update 12/6/17: I cannot fathom how this place has 4.5 stars. I just got lunch and again the servers were clearly hating the world. I also tried to yell out to them to PLEASE drain the vegetables of the water before put...in..... OH, TOO LATE. And.... OH TOO LATE AGAIN. Yes, they tried to make soup out of my rice bowl. The "avocado" was 2 scoops of mush. The cauliflower was also boiled until disintegrating. And the chicken was a waste of a bird's life--so overcooked and dry that I almost choked on it. What the heck is wrong with you reviewers???--have you never eaten properly cooked food before? Changing from 2 stars to 1. 10/17/17 I'm sure it's been said, but this place is pretty much a Chipotle but with Mediterranean food instead. Sounds great. Unfortunately, execution is horrible. And believe it or not, every Chipotle I've been to has faaaaaaaaaar friendlier staff, and I never really thought of Chipotle as "friendly." I swear, every wrap-stuffer here is frowning and clearly hates life. To cut to the chase, this place sucks cuz: 1. The beef is very dry and tasteless. Pretty much no love given to the beef. Really, not sure why any business willing to shell out $1mil's for a location here would dare serve crap like this, but here you go. 2. The "tortilla" used for the wrap is disgusting. Though, I'm not sure if it's a tortilla or perhaps a Mediterranean version, because it's whiter that your typical flour tortilla, and more importantly, FAAAAARRR drier. It was REALLY bad. 3. The wrap-stuffers are extremely badly trained. 2-3 of them "helped" me. Each time I was asked what I wanted I said these exact words: "a LITTLE of each." And every single time they proceeded to put a full serving of every box in my wrap. Yes, that means they put a 1/2 cup of sliced jalapenos in my wrap! Yes, they did just that. 4. And ultimately, due to #3, as you can imagine, the final product handed to me was a slimy, wet, exploding cylinder. There were onions and cucumbers sticking out through the melting flour of the "tortilla." As I ate, a PINK pool of mystery liquid formed on my tray, and ultimately also onto my utensils... then their table......... and so forth..... .(...and I'm sorry if you sat down after me... ain't my fault your beloved jeans are now stained pink... and extremely sorry if you're a lady) 2/5 (BTW, FYI this place is NOT a single $ as Yelp says. I got a wrap and a drink and my bill was nearly $15, and that's without any sides like fries or chips. Saw a dude's review and he said he was happy with the $7-9 price. Um..... DUDE.... there are 0 non-child meals under $8.50 on their menu. Not sure what you be eating.) #mediterranean #chipotlestyle #sunnyvale #star read more

Great variety to choose from if you are a meat eater or vegan. Either choice, they are all healthy foods. The customer friendly staff are always helpful, smiling at you. Totally recommend this place! read more

As others have said, it's a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. I always panic when I come here because so many delicious options. I generally stick with the chicken or steak shawarma in a rice bowl. As I said earlier, so many different delicious options to add to your bowls, fresh veggies, the hummus and garlic sauce are amazing. It's also very filling without having a gut bomb and feeling like a total fat boy. Highly recommend to dine here. read more

Love the food here! You can call them Chipotle for Mediterranean food- I order a flalafel bowl everytime and the food is always delicious. Portions are huge and all sauces are delicious. The staff prepares the food with great love unlike Chipotle the food is placed very carefully. read more

Sajj is a go-to with our office luncheons. Incredible flavors and lots of healthy options. My most recent order, I was a bit panicked because I less than two hours of lead time to cater to a party of 15. Mitri (sp?) assured me he would be able to accommodate our request and even deliver it in plenty of time for the meeting. He did just that and I am so grateful. Great customer service! read more

Sajj is my go-to Chipotle alternative because it hits a lot of the same notes. It's a great value at $7-9, has lots of low-carb options, easy to customize, quick service, and has good flavors. I like that they have a variety for salad options of kale and spinach (chipotle just has lettuce which is nutritionally a non-starter), add ons like cauliflower, and a free cup of lentil soup (which is delicious). It has it's faults though. The add-ons are all basically overcooked. The "shawarma" isn't shawarma. Shawarma is literally the preparation where the meat is cooked on a spit and then shaved off. Here it's precut and cooked on a griddle. It's actually kinda insulting calling it "shawarma", but I'm not taking it that seriously. Also, the service can be off - understaffed, people wandering around cleaning tables when there's people in line, just odd touches that makes it seem badly managed. Overall, i'm a fan. It's a good go-to for lunch, a decent value, and consistent. read more

This place is the best quick, healthy (depending on your choice) and affordable food spot in the bay. The service is beyond friendly and I enjoy every meal I have here! (Ahmed at Sunnyvale is the man and makes a legit chicken shawarma bowl!) To help you with what to expect--this is the the chipotle of Mediterranean food but with with more options and a lot of flavor--and they never run out of guac! Do yourself a favor and go! read more

Ordered Chicken Shawarma Wrap. Pros: chicken had good flavors, selections are decent. Cons: They cheated and use burrito wraps instead of real flat bread. My wrap came out super soggy and leaked out of the tinfoil! It drown in its own juice. This is exactly like Taco Bell's Burrito Supreme. Stop lying to the customers, call it exactly what it is, Shawarma Burrito! The workers are robots, they were mumbling the choices and ask me three times if I wanted it for here or to go, holy shit! Overall, too expensive and I've had better. Once you know what real shawarma taste like, you can measure out, expect, and how much to tolerate these type of conveyor belt food chains. My advice, stick with the salad, the sogginess won't be a problem. Will I come back, probably not. Dish Dash is better in my opinion and the little mom and pop mediterranean restaurant next to Fibbers Magee is also. read more

The chicken shawarma wrap is supremely delicious. I guess it's the best Mediterranean food that I have had till date. The ambience is really nice and the staff are very courteous. Would definitely visit again. read more

See all

Chipotle-style chicken shawarma wraps. I like all the flavors of the toppings and meat inside. It also comes with soup I think (I had to ask if the soup they were offering was free). Don't forget to grab chimichurri sauce when you're getting to-go. The only downside is that the employees are young and don't always have the best customer service. It's like when you ask for toppings, they do it begrudgingly so you feel bad you're making them do their job. read more

A nice "Chipotle-style", fast casual Mediterranean place in downtown Sunnyvale with generous portions and good food. The rice bowls are great here. Check-in on Yelp to get a complimentary bag of tasty pita chips. I came in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, which was my first time at this restaurant. The place had a decent number of patrons but wasn't too crowded. This restaurant is designed just like any other fast-casual place. The menu was more confusing than it should have been. This place serves decent fast-casual Mediterranean food. Admittedly, I don't have Mediterranean food often in fast-casual, so there's little baseline for me to compare it to. The food is definitely fresher and healthier than the halal carts you find in NYC and Philly, and just good. One of the best part about this place is the complimentary lentil soup. And the pita chips, which is great. 3 things combined for a fast-casual price definitely puts this place on my radar if I'm ever back in downtown Sunnyvale for a quick lunch stop. read more

This place was pretty good!! It's like a Chipotle concept. I got the Shawafel rice bowl. You get to decide what all you want in your bowl and your choice of protein like chicken or steak. You can get garbanzo beans, eggplant, rice, onion, cheese, avocado, arugula. Pickled beets etc. they also have a good selection of sauces. The bowl comes with the lentil soup, which is really good. read more

Ordered on the app with a BOGO coupon and it was ready for pickup in 10 minutes! Such good deals, such delicious/healthy food!

I have been the victim of a large scale hack since 2019. The cyberterrorism has affected my job, my business, my child, my ability to conduct errands on a day to day basis, etc. People have a misconception that because I have some type of influence and because so much of my data has been hacked, accessing my hacked information is legal. It's not. In some cases having access or even knowledge of the information without being a person who is a part of my data is illegal. Regardless, the cyberterrorists have created a game with my data, where people think when they do something illegal nothing will happen to them. (In some cases smaller law enforcement agencies are privy to what is happening, access my data also but when there are issues, like the public safety issue I'm going to address in this review, they turn a blind eye.) They think by hurting me, hurting my child, manipulating me, exposing my information, committing further crimes with my identity, etc will some how supercede all laws of humanity, gravity, and science and garner them social media or other influence. Why does this matter? Because the employees at this restaurant decided they were going to play this game also. When I picked up my food, they were snickering and laughing. I honestly thought these people were being friendly so I thought nothing of it. When I started eating my food ( I drove directly to eat my food without stopping anywhere else and picked up my food when I was notfied it was ready. I drove to eat my food less than 10 minutes away). I noticed the temperature of my food was off. I immediately got sick after eating the food and was sick for the rest of the day. With this cyberterrorism "game" people believe that they can poison my or my son's food and it's okay. This isn't the first time someone has intentionally altered my or my son's food in order to specifically make us sick. Knowingly altering someone's food so they become ill is assault and it is a crime. Why does this matter if you aren't the victim of a massive terrorism attack? Because the staff at this restaurant are petty. They will alter your food passive aggressively to make you sick, if there is something they don't like about you. I didn't give them a reason to screw with my food and the same could potentially happen to anyone else. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the first time and we LOVED IT! The food is delicious and fresh. I love that there are so many choices, meat, veggie, or vegan. I'm vegetarian so it was nice to have choices. The falafel is outstanding. The wraps are enormous so I had 2 meals out of one. (probably could have been 3 meals but....yeah). I'm glad we got there early because soon after, there was a line out the door. Not surprising as this place is fabulous! Definitely coming back! read more

If I had one bite left on this Earth, I'd want it to be so full and abundant that I almost choke. I guess if I had one more bite on this Earth it wouldn't matter if I choked or not because I'm going to die after the bite is over anyways. If I had my second to last bite on this Earth, I'd want it to be like the bite I had at SAJJ. That's how I would know that I made the most out of my bite. My sister got a falafel bowl from SAJJ. She usually doesn't finish her food in one sitting, it usually ends up in the fridge. For me, food is only your food when you're eating it. When it makes it to the fridge, it's anyone's game. I don't care if it has your name on it, if it's in the fridge I'm eating it. My sister thinks that I "steal" her food. I like to think that I appreciate her food and don't neglect it like she does. Anyways, I was waiting for my sister to put the falafel bowl back in the fridge like she typically does, but this time was different. It looked like she was going to finish the whole thing. Before it was too late I asked her for one bite and she agreed. I knew I only had one shot, one opportunity, one bite, to seize something I really wanted. I was going to capture this and not let it slip. I knew I made the most of my one bite because if I had any more food on that fork, I would have choked. The combination of the taste and not choking made SAJJ's falafel bowl incredible. read more

SAJJ Mediterranean - I made the most out of my one bite...I didn't choke. - Mediterranean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This restaurant is like chipotle for Mexican. I'm not a fan of Mediterranean food and have tried a couple of restaurants earlier but I liked this one surprisingly ! I tried half salad half rice(turmeric rice but tasted like saffron rice) bowl with falafel, veggies, garlic sauce , hummus , avacado. It tasted good and I was super full , also didn't feel guilty Can go back to this restaurant again, whenever I am in a mood for some quick bites. read more
