Authentic Clean, fresh and yummy Middle Eastern food. Orders to go are carefully packaged and sealed. Highly recommend.

The food is really good and well made. I always order the meat and cheese pies, and the beef shawarmas on occasion. It's packed with ingredients, so you know they aren't bein cheap! I highly recommend you order in advance so you don't have to wait since they're often busy! read more

These guys doing Ramadan are open for sahoor. Their meat and cheese. SO good!! Also, their cheese burger! OH MY GAWD I did not expect it to be that good!!! If you are going that late.. it is good to get there early.. after we ordered they ran out of meat and cheese. There is a lot of seating there.. they have a large menu.. I feel like there is a good variety of items you can get! read more

My family has been going to this bakery, Since we moved to Dearborn heights. This bakery offers variety of middles eastern sweets and snacks. Their baklava is okay, but other places have it better options. However, you must try their Cheese pie and parsley with Cheese. They are baked every morning and run out quickly by afternoon. read more

Delicious and very budget friendly at $4.25 for a "Saj style" chicken shawarma. You can throw a rock in Dearborn to hit a chicken sandwich place, but it is rare to get decent customer service. I definitely felt like they cared about their customers. I would go back for sure. read more

Sajouna Cafe - Yum! - Cafes Near Me - Dearborn Heights, Michigan

I feel I need to stick up for this place from some negative reviews I see here. This place has never disappointed me. I probably come here about once a month for the past three years. I have always been treated with exceptional courtesy. It's not a fancy place. The food is displayed cafeteria style. When expressing doubt or curiosity about something I wasn't sure about selecting, they've always offered me a sample. It seems mostly staffed by shy teenagers who will respond very well to a kind smile, so I would suggest this approach to the people who are upset with being treated rudely. (Sometimes it is within your power to spread a good vibe rather than amplifying your displeasure into the environment...) Additionally, the food has always been delicious, and I concur with another reviewer that the mujadara is exceptional. All their baked goods are also tasty and highly recommended. Their baba ghanouj is smokey and tangy and always perfect. Sajouna is one of my go-tos when I am too tired to cook. I can get a little something for everyone, and the whole family is satisfied... It's also unbelievably cheap. I have also put in large orders here to bring food for events in lieu of catering. I called in advance, and they had everything boxed and ready for me when I arrived. The food was very well received by my friends at the event. Their selection thankfully allows for accommodating the vegetarians and vegans in your life. I want to add that once we were looking for a place to watch an international soccer game, and the staff here gladly tuned in their TV in their small dining area to the game we wanted to watch. Some staff members even came to watch a bit of the game with us when they were slow. Exceptionally accommodating and gracious. read more

One of the best bakeries in Dearborn, I always get the zaatar and cheese pies and any of the mini cheese and parsley baked goods. They also have great hot lunch options. They have a sit down area but I typically prefer to take it to go. read more

I'm here wayyyy tooo often, but my favorite place and go to spot! Make sure you go on Wednesday and get the okra and rice special! Or Saturday for the chicken and potatoes! Hands down the best chicken and potatoes! read more

Great. Think deli counter with booths. Like a fancy McDonalds with awesome food. Got the falafel wrap, mjadra, and garlic with pita. $6. They have a cooler of pop, not sure if they do the whole juice thing but I think they do. I don't have much to say other than that...the people were nice, the food was fresh and great. Wish the mjadra was warm, but I got over it... Go there and love it because it is great. Oh and I think they are open 24 hours during Ramadan. So bonus if you are fasting. read more

3.75 Stars Sajouna Café is a Lebanese bistro and a fantastic place to grab an amazing breakfast, lunch or brunch and among many of the delectable items to try there are two that stand out the most for me: The Kibbeh and the pies often referred to as 'Mana'eesh' in Arabic. The kibbehs are huge - crispy golden shell with savory ground beef and spices in the center - probably my favorite iteration of this particular Lebanese version. The last time I had them this good was at the upscale Zaytinya Restaurant in Washington DC. THAT good! The flatbread pies (or mana'eesh) are spectacular. You can order many different kinds and there is also a several vegetarian options. However, I must say that the meat pies are legendary - they are thin and served hot out of the oven with a generous portion of seasoned and spiced ground lamb with a smokey finish from the wood-fired oven. I ordered about 20 of these to take home as they can be frozen for an excellent quick home meal. The interiors of Sajouna are not bad but as is the case with many large Lebanese bakeries and cafes, could use a bit of an upgrade from the bright fluorescent lit space with weird murals flanking the walls. I would love to see some more modern touches of pendant fixtures for a more dimly lit and true café/bistro atmosphere. The place is regularly packed with people pining for a delicious and quick meal. I would definitely go back here and get more of the Mana'eesh and kibbeh. I will definitely try the sweets too - as they have a huge desert menu. There are also an ample amount of Middle Eastern groceries like olives, stuffed eggplant pickles, Lebanese yogurts, cheeses, and other spices and ingredients. A very fun place to go - will definitely be stopping by again in my next visit. read more

This is a nice place to dine in or to take out. When you walk in, you see these awesome looking dessert pastries in their case which look so inviting yet decadent. It has a cafeteria like set up where you place your order. It has a large drink cooler with a really wide selection of drinks to choose from. Then, it has a nice area to sit down at with family style booths. The staff are friendly enough to answer any questions you might have and willing to provide you with samples to help you make up your mind. Then, there is the food. This time I got the chicken shawarma sandwich. Some places have dry meat in the sandwich, but not this place. It had nice moist chicken. It was nicely seasoned and had slightly spicy pickle slices in it. The spice level of the seasoning wasn't under powering nor over powering, and in fact it had a nice bit of taste flair to it. In other words, this sandwich had flavor. The spinach pies might have been a bit too thick with the pastry, but the spinach filling was awesome. It had a really good level of spice to it. And the rice pilaf was a really nice base to the meal. Overall, I would say that this place knows how to make the star ingredient of their dishes shine. read more

Clean and comforting location. My favorite day is Wednesday because the lunch special is bamia(Oakra). But they run out so fast! Staff are friendly and I love Ramadan because they're open 24/7! read more

It's ok. Everything tastes the same. Too bready without enough flavor. Last time I ordered a chicken sandwich and when I got it, it looked and tasted like charred bread and garlic sauce. It's convenient but not my first choice. Worth a try though specially if your culturally curious and inexperienced you might like it more because you'd probably be more used to McDonald's and Subways and such. I reduced it from a 3 star to a 2 star because I gave Hamidos down the street a 3 star so unfortunately fir sajouna their food isn't as good as hamidos. The other option was giving hamidos a 4 star which it isn't then putting sajouna at a 3 star or putting them both at. 3 stars which would be lying because they aren't equals and I cannot tell a lie. So you see the amount of work it takes to fairly rate a business. It's not for the weak. read more

I revisited this place again . And the it has improved the food significantly . And the store works in a much more organized manner . Just they have to work more on their hot food make more fresh an better priced . Rest is fine . Try the little pies they are amazing . And the sweets are fresher than most sweet and pastry shops in Dearborn . Good job . Keep Improving . read more

The food is amazing!!!! Everything was tasty and well prepared. Great service. A high variety of baked goods and savory pies. Yummy! Must go!! read more

Uh-mazing! The best middle eastern bakery in metro Detroit.

Friendly service- good prices- we ordered a meat and cheese on bread and a zatar and cheese- delicious- I got a couple to go- I definitely would be back- saves me from driving all the way to yazmeen bakery read more

Nice desert selection, I got a gift box of desert pastries the other day for a friend and they commented how nice they looked. and they were good as well :) read more

By far my favorite restaurant in this part of town. Their restaurant is looks and feels clean, a quality that many Arab restaurants lack. Their selection of food is extensive and for those who don't eat much meat, they will find a very vegetarian friendly meal. Their meat based stews are also quite delicious, but my favorite dish here is their brown mujadara. It is exceptionally addicting. Lastly, they have my favorite baklava in town as well. Overall this is one of my favorite restaurants in Detroit, as I've become a regular over the past couple of months. read more

Great for lunch. TONS of hot food and pastries. Dine in or carry out. The chicken shwarma sandwich was excellent. I also ordered a chickpea/bean soup (still kinda green on the dish names) which was great. Service was fast and friendly. A total winner! read more

I ORDER ON THE PHONE BECAUSE IM SHORT ON TIME and I get there and have to reorder. Which I'm fine with maybe it didn't go through the system EVEN THO I WAS TALKING to a PERSON, then the cashier didn't even tell any of the workers to make them. So I did her job by asking three different chefs and they all told me they were cooking them when I could CLEARLY SEE THEM COOKING SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST WALKED IN AND ORDER AFTER ME. Then after all of it which was twenty minutes later I point at the pre made ones and I tell them THATS WHAT I ORDERED I ended up leaving with the wrong amount and late. As I'm leaving they tell me to pay again after I already payed..... In conclusion can these people improve their communication skills and memory. read more

My go to place by my house for chicken shawarma and cheese bread. Employees are pleasant and attentive with quick service. They have a variety of other Arabic foods and desserts. read more

Workers are all so nice and food is amazing. I always come back for their molokhia. The best!! They only have it in about 2 times a week though:( Also their banana,mango honey smoothie is amazing!! I always stop by to grab one while running arrands:) read more

Horrible shawerma, I am not sure if they really used chicken meat or chicken liver. Yak

Good place for lunch, good selection of baked goods, and good service. I like the fact that you order and pay for the your food at the counter, so there's no need for a server to slow you up on your lunch break. read more

Great hummus & fries. Helped with my gluten free needs during the busy Ramadan season earlier this year.

The pies are good but the gentleman running the oven is a liar, I asked for freshly made pies for an order of three and he said okay and acted like he went back to the kitchen and told him, five minutes later I see him grabbing pie's from next to the oven and tossing them in so much for "Fresh" read more

I've been going here since they opened. Getting cooked food takes patience, but their hummus is unrivaled as far as I'm concerned. It's VERY expensive, but it's so incredibly creamy and well-flavored. Today was a busy day and the lack of organization in serving customers was frustrating with several people cutting in front of me. read more

Ate an entire meal here. Tried just about everything. Chicken Shawarma was great. Thyme was really good. Finished it of with amazing Kibble. Can't wait to come back! read more

Very bad service and food I ordered menith with Cheese and they forgot it and they charged me for it

I was surprised how fast management contacted me , they apologized for the rude behavior that the employees had and offer me a gift card to return ... I asked them to pass the card on to someone who may need it more .. I will defiantly come back and give them a try ... Thank you Ahmed read more

great banana smoothies. The spinach pies are good. Everything is really really fresh and good. The young counter help are all cute and helpful! read more

Average salad for above average prices ... and the hot food was nothing special either, and also pretty expensive... $12 for a lunch that was not very filling... stick with bread if u come here read more

When i moved here about couple of weeks ago my husband was telling me about this place in ramadan. We went to try it and honestly they must be cooking with love. I ate alot of cheese pies in mg day but hands down their cheese pies #1 wow hot and ready that cheese just melts in your mouth. And it has so much flavor even though it is a plain cheese pie. When it comes to their shawarma sandwhiches i cant even explain... tuhamas who? Hamidos who? Alameer who? Any restaurants that do meat shawarmas cant beat this place. Im sorry their shawarmas are amazing, juicy warm, just a good amount of everything. I loved it i grab 2 shawarmas all the time. Thats how amazing they are. read more

This is the second time we order from Saj. We thought we'd give them a chance this time, but the order took forever. Also, on the phone the people did not say hello or thank you and goodbye or anything like that. Are they that busy not to say a proper greeting? The food was a little salty. However, it is juicy and yummy. read more

1. Employees have no manners, are rude and very pushy 2. You'd have to wait in line for a VERY long time before you're offered service 3. They sell you food that doesn't have what is advertised; for example a falafel sandwich WITHOUT falafel!!! 4. OUTRAGEOUS food handlers. Food is touched with BARE hands, you'll lose your appetite for weeks 5. Way OVER PRICED 6. You'll always walk away with something missing (like falafel in your falafel sandwich), guaranteed 7. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! read more

Very nice bakery to say the least, I go there quite often and the place is always clean, and the staff and service has always been great. Their food is delicious and always fresh,Definetly recommend giving them a try, you wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Being new in Dearborn heights area, i came across this place while i was at the market next door. the whole experience was very pleasant from the food to the people working to the vibe...but one thing made me give it a 4 star which was that it was missing the Mediterranean theme with its murals....I dont know if they have changed or have learned but they sure now seem to be very different on what is described in previous reviews on here....i tried the hummus and tabouli with veggie grape leaves...lots of choices for veggie and vegans...i went there twice already but had the same things twice...... read more
