    We always enjoy Saj. The food is delicious, the service gracious and friendly, and it’s priced very reasonably. Really like patronizing family-owned and family-run businesses like Saj. Strongly recommended for a bit of a different take on middle eastern cuisine and a very reasonably priced and excellent meal

    Such a lovely place for a quiet dinner. The food was amazing and the service was great. I would most definitely come back and try more items on the menu.

    Redfish was great, on top of stewed chickpeas which were also delicious. The Saj bread was good. Hummus good as was Moussaka. Did not like the chicken shawarma. Texture was not pleasant and it was caked with the spices which made it all gritty.

    A wonderful and well-priced option for middle-eastern food prepared with flare. We loved the variety of small plates and everything was delicious. Good viriety of meat, fish and vegetable choices. The server was knowledgeable and fun. It's a small dining room and can be a bit loud when full. No alcohol on the menu, but you may bring a bottle of wine from home with no corkage fee. Will definitely go back.

    We were a party of 9 ladies and they handled all of our different tastes and requests very adeptly. The room was quiet we were able to converse and share a delicious meal. The menu was quite varied varied and everybody was able to get something they enjoyed. We brought our own bottle of wine and they were very happy to provide us with wine glasses. We had so much to eat we could not have broom for dessert but I do want to go back and try the desserts which looked unique and delicious
