Our Story

Make every day a culinary adventure

Are you tired of food that is quick but forgettable?  Food should be personal, satisfying and transporting—taking you to a place you love or to new, exciting places that you’d like to experience.

SAJJ is an escape from the every day.

It’s the sight and aroma of sajj, pita, falafel and shawarma being made in front of you. It’s exotic Mediterranean entrée choices you can customize any way you want. It’s authentic sauces and flavors you won’t find anywhere else. It’s the graciousness and warmth so characteristic of Mediterranean hospitality. And it’s healthy and fast.

The Team

We are a few guys with a passion for bringing the fresh and exotic tastes of the Mediterranean to your table.  We believe that our patrons are looking for something different served with gracious hospitality, in an environment that delights the senses, and that doesn’t break the pocketbook. We have over 125 years of combined experience running such restaurants as Savor, Crepevine, Catch, Blue Front Café and other northern California favorites.

The Culinary MCs

Hospitality demonstrated by sharing food and drink is an essential part of Mediterranean culture. The moment you walk in the door, you’ll be greeted by staff members that share a love for Mediterranean food.  We’ll introduce you to our favorites and suggest combinations that will enhance your food adventure—our goal is to make your lunch or dinner an experience that both delights and satisfies.

The Culture

We want to invite you into a world of fresh, healthy and delicious ingredients including chick peas, bulgur, basmati, fava beans, eggplant, mint, zahtar, cardamom, peri peri, tahini, tamarind, sumac and honey.
