FurnSaj Bakery & Restaurant

This place has amazing breads and baked items! The spinach pie was my absolute favorite. I can’t wait to go back and try more. I like that they have a hot case where you can buy individual items (very affordable). Updated from previous review on 2026-02-03

The hummus was creamy and delicious. We split a huge lamb wrap, also delicious. A great choice for Middle Eastern food.

Visiting San Diego and visited this Lebanese spot right after leaving the airport, instant win for brunch. The manakish were perfectly baked with amazing flavor, and the service was super quick with no wait at all. My absolute favorite was the kibbeh. crispy, flavorful, and so good. A must stop if you’re looking for Mediterranean food!

I’ve been here before about two years ago and it was excellent. It was honestly one of the best shawarmas I’d had and the reason I came back.

This visit, unfortunately, was a stark difference. While the bread was still great, the chicken shawarma itself was very disappointing. The chicken had a noticeable fishy smell and taste, which made me concerned about the quality or freshness of the meat. I couldn’t finish it.

The wrap is large, but at $18 for a single shawarma, the quality really needs to match the price. That price point made the drop in quality especially noticeable and is what ultimately pushed me to leave a review.

I hope this was just an off day, because based on my past experience, this place is capable of doing much better.

Had the beef shawarma pizza and it did not disappoint. The person at the register was friendly and gave me two sauces to try.

Great place with the best zaater and cheese pies! The kids and the whole family loved it. The portions were bigger than the expected. Parking next door free for 45mins which was a nice plus!

Just wow! The flat bread mana’ish were the best I ever had in the U.S., and it reminded me of back home. The service was also amazing, timely, and very friendly. We’re visiting from Texas and spent time in three states recently but this was our best dining experience by far. Strongly recommend!

Placed order take-out order online. When I got home, 30 minutes away in traffic, I discovered both desserts I ordered were missing, $6 each plus tax. I immediately called and was first told I ordered only one dessert because the worker wasn’t even familiar with Mahalabiyeh being a dessert item. We finally agreed I was missing two items. She first offered for me to come back and pick them up (not feasible for 1 hour round trip), then told me they do not do refunds….only store credit. Will never order here again, simply too many other options in SD.

Excellent food, very nice lady at receptipn, very good cook.
The boss should be more smiling.
He seems nice, smiling to job candidates who showed up, but even not hello, let alone a smile, to customers.

I think $16 for a cheese manoushe is insane, it is good but not that good. Good vibes though

We had a recommendation from the staff and the shawarma plate was enough food for the two of us.
