SAJJ Mediterranean Restaurant Celebrates San Ramon Grand Opening

SAN RAMON, CA — San Ramon has a new "fast casual concept" restaurant: SAJJ Mediterranean will celebrate the grand opening of its new location in San Ramon on Friday.

The San Ramon spot at The Shops at Bishop Ranch marks the eleventh SAJJ in California and the restaurant's first foray into the East Bay, after establishing itself in the South Bay, the Peninsula, San Francisco proper, and as far south as Orange County. The San Ramon grand opening comes only one month after SAJJ celebrated its 10th restaurant opening in nearby San Jose.

“For years, East Bay guests who commuted to other parts of the Bay Area asked when we’d be opening in their neck of the woods, and we’re happy to finally bring SAJJ to the East Bay with this location in San Ramon,” said Zaid Ayoub, founder & CEO of SAJJ Mediterranean. “This city is home to a dynamic community of families and businesses, including Chevron and GE, which we’re thrilled to serve.”

SAJJ’s fully customizable menu offers traditional Mediterranean dishes made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, according to the company. Guests build their meal in an assembly line format, starting with the choice of sajj wrap, pita sandwich, turmeric rice bowl, or salad. Protein choices include chicken and steak shawarma, pomegranate chicken, shawafel (half falafel and half shawarma) or SAJJ’s falafel. Unlimited spreads, sauces, and toppings can be added to further customize the meal to each guest’s liking. Complimentary lentil soup is served with each entree, and additional items like fries, pita chips, chocolate hummus, and traditional Mediterranean beverages can round out the meal, the company said.

During Friday's grand opening, the restaurant will include a free entree for the first 50 people in line at 11 a.m. and 50 percent off orders all day long. In celebration, the restaurant will also give out free samples of chocolate hummus and cinnamon chips at all SAJJ locations.

The San Ramon restaurant is located at 164 Sunset Drive Suite B7 within The Shops at Bishop Ranch.

SAJJ Mediterranean’s San Ramon restaurant will be open Sunday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

In addition to their regular menu selection, the San Ramon location will offer catering services. Visit the SAJJ website, www.SAJJStreetEats.com for the options available.
