Absolutely Outstanding Mediterranean Food at Saj’s! If you’re craving authentic Mediterranean flavors in New Orleans, Saj’s is an absolute gem. Every dish I’ve tried has been full of vibrant flavor and clearly made with care. The chicken & shish kabob is perfectly seasoned and tender and the hummus is easily some of the best I’ve ever had—smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and the portions are generous without feeling heavy. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing something to go, Saj’s delivers consistency, quality, and real Mediterranean soul in every dish.

I had such an amazing experience at Saj! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for enjoying a great meal. I even had the chance to meet the owner, Mo, who shared the story behind the restaurant and his inspiring goals for it. I was lucky enough to try their brand-new menu on its debut. The hummus was incredibly fresh, but the real star was the Kabbeth appetizer - absolutely unforgettable. For my entrée, I couldn’t resist trying a bit of everything, so I went with the kebabs featuring three different meats: kofta, chicken, and filet mignon. Each one was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Kofta is my favorite! Dessert was the much-anticipated Harrissa Tamer, and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect sweet finish to the meal. To top it all off, I tried their house-mad

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mohammad SK · Dec 2025

Paid $100 for basically a one course dinner for 2. We ordered 2 basic entrees and 1 side for both of us. Food is small in volume but super greesy. Food is okay but highly inconsistent with price. Atmosphere is great and no in house bar so very suitable for non-drinkers who want food and experience. I highly recommend improving portions and sides if they plan to keep these prices (lamb chops come with 1 pita and 1 garlic no rice no fries no veggies, and they charge you $13 for extra bread and garlic under “misc orders”)

★★★★★ 5.0 Mark Mascar · Sep 2025

What an amazing place. Someone recommended this restaurant. Thought we would give it a try. Not disappointed at all. Let me start with the delicious food. From their new menu selection, I chose the Shish kebab. I’m used to a shish after a night out drinking in the uK. This kebab is on another level. They use filet mignon. Yes, filet mignon. The meat was so tender. No knife needed. The mix of aromatic herbs and spices were dancing in my mouth. From the Hummus, wood fire olives and Mediterranean salad, everything was spot on. It’s bring your own booze. That’s fine. The chef/owner came to the table and introduced himself. He is a master chef. So much passion about his menu. This has the be the best place in New Orleans for Mediterranean food. Will make this one of my favourite places from n

Saj is amazing! The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully made. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. One of the best Middle Eastern spots in New Orleans, highly recommend!
