Saj has been one of my go-tos for a few years but yesterday’s customer service was truly exceptional. Just past closing time, I called asking if they were still accepting orders — they were able to accommodate my final order for 2025, quickly and graciously. It saved the night and allowed for me to enjoy NYE with a pint and some delicious dips. Will be enjoying Saj through 2026 and beyond!

The food was absolutely delicious. The wait staff was very attentive. They had a drink which they made called Tamirran soda that is not to be missed. We all enjoyed our meal thoroughly.

Highly highly recommended.

Our reservation was on the later side so the place was not busy when we arrived. There was evidence that there had been diners there as almost every table had the remains of dinners on them. There was only one person serving and no one bussing the vacated tables. The food was delicious and promptly served from the kitchen.
