★★★★★ 5.0 Kristin Talal · Sep 2025

Absolutely delicious. The quality and detail of the food speaks for itself. Down to the way everything is prepared. I haven't found a place with this style of Mediterranean food since I was in Chicago, the portion size is so wonderful as well. Loveeeeeee, 100% recommend. I did a pick up order and was greeted with a gentle smile. Very easy process, atmosphere was very welcoming and clean.♥️ 👌

Must have the kabab platters at the coralville location. Their hummus amazing absolutely delightful with a special green pepper sauce. Anyone who's a fan of Mediterranean/ middle eastern dishes is sure to enjoy.

Chicken shawarma bowl was good. Liked the flavor and spicy garlic sauce. Vegetarian plate was okay but falafels were good. Overall not a bad place.

Saj Grill on Dubuque Street in Iowa City is a fantastic spot for delicious Mediterranean food. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a casual meal in downtown Iowa City. A special thank you to Khawla for her excellent service—she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. It’s always nice when great food is paired with such warm hospitality. Highly recommend Saj Grill if you’re in the area!

A great little Mediterranean restaurant addition to Downtown Iowa City. The service was quick, the staff were very welcoming, and they checked to make sure I was happy with my order. I liked the options for customizing your order either with meat or falafel if you want a vegetarian option. I tried the chicken wrap and the falafel and they both tasted good. Flavorful and authentic tasting if you’re comparing to Middle Eastern shawarma and falafel. The chicken wrap was much larger than I expected. I think if you want a lighter meal portion, the wrap would be a good size to split between two people. Got a chance to meet the owner while I was there, and she was very sweet and genuinely cared for making her customers happy. Will be visiting again to try the other menu offerings for sure.
