5 stars all around! I can't speak for the ambiance because I got it to go but ... Walked in and the smells were amazing! The young lady helping was super kind and let me taste the couscous before getting it! Wow... so good! Never had it at all and it was the base of my bowl! Chicken shawarma and I LOVED the beets and tomato/cucumber! Everything was so fresh and perfect before I went to a concert. Definitely will be back!

I've been visiting more Mediterranean restaurants lately since this type of cuisine tends to be healthier than most. I like that you can choose your protein followed by a healthier base such as salad. They give you a choice of toppings and sauce. You can add on sides for an additional cost. The service staff are very nice and the restaurant is clean. Also a good amount of tables outside with shade if you want to enjoy the fresh air.

Saw this spot on tik tok and wanted to try! They have a sort of build your own bowl and have decent amount of options for protein, veggies, and sauces. I felt it was similar to Cava (which we don't have in the Bay Area rn) but a bit more homey. The falafels were flavorful and fresh, fast service, and decent seating areas. I would totally come here again and try the other options.

Good variety of options, including vegetarian! Even though it can get crowded, the atmosphere is peaceful and not noisy. Service is good and fast.

My absolute favorite place to go. I come once a week, and am greeted by the nicest staff every time, they always give me the best customer service, especially Omar and Larry. Those guys are always smiling, and make me feel at home, Omar came up to my table and gave me a hand written note thanking me for being a loyal customer, and gave me a free piece of baklava. That is next level customer service. I cannot thank him nor this place enough. I am a customer for life.

Sajj Mediterranean exceeded all expectations with their build-your-own plate option! The food quality is exceptional, and one bowl is definitely more than enough for a satisfying meal. The falafel was a standout, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. As for their drinks, the special mint lemonade and strawberry lemonade were incredibly fresh and flavorful, but the mint stole the show for me. Additionally, the Valentine's Day decorations added a lovely touch to the ambiance during our visit. Highly recommend Sajj Mediterranean for a delicious and refreshing dining experience!

The food at Sajj was great and very filling for the price. The options all looked fresh and tasted awesome and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu options. The drinks are all made in house and the strawberry lemonade was sweet and refreshing. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying a new combination. Make sure you get some of the peri peri sauce for a little kick.

I had their bowl which was like a Mediterranean burrito bowl. It was delicious!Rosalinda made the experience so much better with her great customer service and greeted everyone who walked in while I was there.I'm definitely coming back for more. ?The only criticism I have is that the lentil soup was watered down and there was a bad smell outside the bathroom.Vegetarian options: Falafel, couscous, cauliflower, eggplant, and more
