Reviews
Wonderful middle eastern food. Loved the lamb, the feta and the chicken especially. It’s a small staff so take your time and enjoy. Don’t be hurried.
Absolutely beautiful atmosphere, awesome service, DELICIOUS food, and BYOB! What more could you want?? 10/10
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.
The location is not nice, the furniture is not comfortable waited for a salad for 30 minutes and was very sweet to eat not enough staff too
The quality of the food was exceptional, but the chicken was over cooked and dry.
Our server had a terrible attitude, never checked to see if we needed anything else and forgot one of the entrees. She rude and made you feel as if you were an inconvenience.
Flavourful food. The unlimited bread was appreciated.
Stumbling upon Saj in our first day in the Big Easy was an incredible surprise. We ordered a few small plates: the stuffed grape leaves melted in my mouth bursting with complex flavors. The muhammara was excellent, along with the limitless …
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 😍
