Not that good. Make sure when your are offering "shawafel" that you enunciate and double check, because it's very easy for the employee to mishear it as falafel
This spot is absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't recommend more. The food is delicious, with incredible flavor and quality. There is really nothing more comforting than a plate of aushak or any of the kabobs, and for vegetarians the vegetarian plate is amazing. They also have some of the best challow I've ever had. If you can, order through their website so the delivery apps don't take part of the profit. This restaurant deserves every cent.
It's like a chipotle for Mediterranean. Solid on food but a bit overwhelming with the options. You definitely get ample amounts.
Just visited this place today for the first time. It wasn’t crowded and was thinking that they can be more patient. I was asking about different ingredients that they were offering because tge person preparing my food wasn’t mentioning their name and trouble understanding her because of masks. At least they can put name tags on top of each topping/side or tell their workers to mention your options.
Went in to pickup a quick lunch. Got the steak wrap which was solid. All toppings are included so you can choose what you like. Could use more spicy sauce options (they just had spicy tahini).Felt a little brave and tried the chocolate hummus and that was clearly a good call! It's very dense and heavy. But, the cinnamon coated chips it comes with is the perfect combination.Heat place for solid, flavor packed and healthy grub!
When I want healthy food, I think Mediterranean cuisine. Thank goodness San Mateo has a Sajj Mediterranean restaurant. The options include meat or vegetarian options.Got this kids rice bowl. Just my size :). Comes with pita & juice box! I feel like I was back in school. No worrying about is my meal is balanced. This is healthy! Glad there is outside seating too! Otherwise the restaurant has A/C which you need when it’s hot or need good ventilation.Tasty pomegranate chicken, basmati rice, cucumber & tomato salad & marinated eggplant ?. Nom nom...
Food was good,place is spacious plenty room to sit, Drinks are natural delicious and nutrientes.
Tonight, the person who took my order had a petty attitude. When I asked for the vegetables on the far right (from view looking into the restaurant), the person show took my order told me to tell her before she added the meat so she could make it look nice, which is utter nonsense since vegetables got added on top anyways, and the food is a mix. Although she still put the food in, she had implied that the fault lied with the customer for not telling her sooner, but in fact, the fault lies with her for not asking the customer before adding the meat. And even if it were a matter of food presentation, it's the customer who decides how she/he wants it to be arranged in this restaurant format of picking what one wants in one's food when it's the customer paying for the food, not the person taking the order. Anyhow, the service tonight was disappointing.
Great food and service. Not gourmet quality but just good and more healthy than many.
Good salad bowls easy to make your own if you have dietary restrictions. Wasn’t an authentic Mediterranean place for sure, moreover a fusion place with healthy choices but good for a quick bite. This place is in the middle of the San Mateo downtown so parking can be tricky
