Bay Area-based SAJJ Mediterranean Opens 2nd Location
SAJJ Mediterranean, the fast-casual Middle Eastern eatery known for its fresh, exotic, and customizable cuisine, will celebrate the grand opening of its second Orange County location on Friday, Nov. 30. The newest SAJJ is located in the Sand Canyon Plaza shopping center in Irvine. The first OC location opened in Rancho Santa Margarita earlier this year. To celebrate, SAJJ will be giving away free entree cards to the first 30 guests in line at 11 a.m., and guests who visit all day long on November 30 will receive 50% off their order.
The upcoming Irvine location will spread SAJJ’s reach to a new part of Orange County, and marks the beginning of SAJJ’s statewide expansion announced last month. The brand was recently named to San Francisco Business Times’ list of Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area, and will be opening new locations in San Mateo and San Jose before year’s end, and San Ramon in early 2019.
SAJJ’s fully customizable menu offers traditional Middle Eastern dishes made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Guests begin building their meal with a choice of pita bread, SAJJ wrap, salad, or turmeric rice bowl, then fill it with chicken or steak shawarma, pomegranate chicken, shawafel (falafel & shawarma), or their famous falafel, which Zagat SF called the ‘best falafel in the Bay Area.’ Guests can further customize their meal with unlimited toppings and sauces, including hummus, cilantro mint chutney, tahini, tzatziki, peri peri and more.
All entrees are served with complimentary lentil soup, while fries, pita chips, hummus, falafel, and baklava can be purchased as additional sides. Traditional Middle Eastern beverages, like mint and strawberry lemonade, tamarind, and a mint yogurt drink, are made in-house and available at SAJJ’s newest location.
In addition to their regular menu selection, SAJJ’s Irvine location will offer catering services with choices of proteins, wide selection of sides, an appetizer menu, salad bar, and individual meal packages.
