Additionally, SAJJ will be donating 10% of the weekend’s sales to local schools in Rancho Santa Margarita.
Since first opening doors in the Bay Area in 2012, SAJJ has made a name for itself for offering a traditional Mediterranean menu that is fully customizable to fit the preferences of each guest. Their high-quality cuisine begins with locally-sourced produce and antibiotic- and hormone-free Halal meats in an effort to create fresh, healthy, and sustainable menu offerings. Options include chicken or steak shawarma, pomegranate chicken, falafel, or shawafel (shawarma and falafel combined) served in a choice of pita bread, sajj wrap, salad, or turmeric rice bowl. Guests can further customize their meal with unlimited toppings and sauces, including hummus, cilantro mint chutney, tahini, tzatziki, peri peri and more.
