    Another great evening at Saj. Apparently they have a new owner, same staff, menu and great BYOB policy. The change over appears seamless. We will be back.

    Saj is in the location of the former Middle Eastern restaurant, Mona’s, but is a bit more elegant. But it’s the food that is the focus. It was my first time, so I followed the lead of the one of our 4-person group experienced with Saj, and ordered a lunch plate, the Yemeni chicken shawarma with a tamarind soda. The plate had generous portions of the uniquely delicious shawarma, saffron rice, hummus, and a flavorful salad - as well as the excellent saj bread which is so light & dusted with za’atar & a touch of olive oil. It was all wonderful, & I look forward to returning & exploring the rest of the menu!

    Went there for the first time and it was great! Took a special person on a first date there and we loved it. The food, service, and atmosphere was outstanding. Will definitely go back.

    We really enjoyed experiencing all the unique flavors and dishes at Saj. I would order any of the dishes we had a second time. The lamb and the paella were delicious. The small plates we tried (the baked feta, goat cheese with honey, muhamara, and grilled olives) were each amazing. We were scraping the plates clean with the paratha.

    We had a very good dinner. Two of us shared a salad, shawarma, Muhammara and the cheese cake for desert. All amazing.
