Vegetarian and vegan adaptations maintain authentic seasoning, while the biryani bowl showcases spiced rice layered with protein for added depth of flavor.
Saj Bread
Our namesake saj bread is baked daily on convex griddles, achieving a perfect balance of chewy texture and smoky aroma. This traditional flatbread serves as the base for wraps and accompanies platters, enhancing every bite with its subtle, earthy flavor. Made with simple ingredients and no preservatives, it reflects our commitment to authenticity while providing a gluten-conscious option for diners.

Designed for younger diners, the kids menu features bite-sized portions of popular dishes like chicken nuggets, mini wraps, and cheese-filled saj pockets. Each meal includes small fries and maintains the same fresh preparation standards as our main menu. Options like the 'SIGMA - Mini Chicken Wrap' introduce children to Middle Eastern flavors while accommodating picky eaters with familiar formats like cheese quesadillas.
