Our story

Bread on the saj, the way it has been done for centuries

The saj is a domed iron griddle. Dough is stretched paper-thin, laid over the hot curve and baked in seconds — soft, slightly chewy and still warm when it wraps around the shawarma. It is the bread our restaurant is named after.

Everything else follows the same rule. Chickpeas are soaked overnight and ground for falafel each morning. Chicken and beef marinate in garlic, sumac and warm Levantine spices before they go on the spit. Nothing waits under a heat lamp.
