Ya'll. Go here. I wanted to forgo an actual "dinner plate" and eat 6 small plates, but my husband said no. He made me limit the starters to two items, so we ordered goat cheese & kufta. It was a little sly on my part because the kufta is served on labna, and the dinner plates come with hummus, thereby ensuring I would taste 4 of the appetizer options. Holy goodness! The labna mixed with the red gravy was killer. It's one of those dishes that makes me sad I'm not a local. The goat cheese was creamy, and the honey drizzled on top gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. My husband ordered chicken shawarma - because of course he did. It's one of his favorites. He eats it at every Mediterranean place we go. He was very happy with his choice at Saj, too. I ordered the Mediterranean Salad with lamb (gyro). It was good. Exactly what I expected, and they don't skimp on the vegetable toppings. We finished our gigantic meal off with the Baklava Cheesecake. It was phenomenal. We don't usually order sweets, but we were very happy we did this time. It wasn't what we expected. The phyllo isn't the main flavor, nor is there anything crunchy about it. Order it with your appetizers so you don't forget. It's spectacular.
I love @sajnola !! I could come back over and over again and every small plate is just perfect. I’m especially obsessed with the baked feta. Bread was amazing and is not filling as say pitas, and it’s even better for their amazing small plates cuz u get to have more!! I also order grilled lamb every time!!! Btw it’s so byob 😍
We were greeted by a wonderful young lady who happened to also be our server. We were a group of 5 guys visiting from another state and craving some middle eastern food. This place did not disappoint. Excellent service, apps and main dishes. The food was portioned and priced perfectly. It also served one of the best Turkish coffees we have had.
A great new addition to the magazine st corridor! The menu is straightforward and varied. The hummus is exceptional and in my view better than both Shaya and Saba. The Saj bread is more akin to a light naan and a more flavorful and useful option than a traditional puffy pita. They are still working on hiring additional staff so the service may be a little slower but it’s absolutely worth it!
Wow!! This spot is so well decorated and the food is incredible! We loved the baked feta and goat cheese! The bread is so thin, delicious and covered in delightful spices. Their house made sodas were a favorite as well. They also take tap to pay which was lucky for me! I forgot my wallet! 🤣
