a month agoSaj 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!

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

Edited 7 months agoAbsolutely 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.♥️ 👌

Edited 8 months agoAwesome spot downtown Iowa City, I used to regular the place back when it was just a ‘Which Wich’. They kept the interior the same as well as the old tables and chairs. Giving the space a lived-in kind of feel. Everyone working was friendly and smiling despite the daunting amount of online orders that were pouring in. The food was great, I got the Steak Shwarma Platter and then came back the following week to try out the Lamb Platter. Great stuff guys.

11 months agoFinally a delicious shawarma spot in Iowa city! Excellent customer service and amazing quality. We loved the beef and chicken shawarma boxes, the nest is tender and full of flavor. Will definitely be going back on a regular basis 😍

a year agoWe had a great experience. We tried the Arabi chicken combo, steak platter and gyro cheese burger. The shawarma is very delicious and has the authentic middle-eastern Jordanian taste, esp with the garlic sauce and the serving style (i.e small pieces). Portion size was adequate and we took home some leftovers. The owner and his family are very friendly. He greeted us and we had a nice chat. He offered free falafel to try, which were tasty, crunchy and fried perfectly. Great addition to Iowa City. You need to try it.

a year agoA 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.
