SAJJ Mediterranean (Sunnyvale)

I absolutely loved this place.
I love middle eastern food in general, so I have a pretty high bar, and these guys did pretty well.
I was working in the coffee shop next door and was feeling hungry, so I came here for lunch without researching much about the place, and I was very pleasantly surprised.
I had the rice bowl with chicken Shawarma and falafel.
It’s a chipotle concept where you choose all your topics as you go along, and finally you pay for what you got.
They have all the standard toppings that you get in the middle eastern place, but what stood for me was the fried cauliflower and eggplant.
They were decedent and extremely flavourful, and I haven’t seen them in other places.
Also, they’re not stingy with that toppings or sauces.
You can ask them to put more if you want, and they will happily do that.
Also, everything tastes extremely fresh.
The fact made the falafel fresh in front of me.
When I went to the counter to pay, I was very pleasantly surprised by the fact that they gave me a lentils soup for free.
In fact, they give out lentils soup with all the orders, which is such a nice gesture.
The soup itself was pretty tasty.
There is plenty of seating indoors, but you can also sit outside and do people watching if you prefer.
The quantity of food is quite generous, but the price is pretty high as well.
But given the fact that it is Bay area, you kind of expect the prices to be as high as they were.
I enjoyed everything and I will definitely be back again.

Healthy Mediterranean food.
Ordered the Chicken Shawarma on salad.
I recommend light on the source (specially thahine).
It was excellent.
The Garlic sauce was garlic though and I loved it.
Also recommend etc tomato salad instead of red cabbage.
