Mediterranean Food Hybrids

SAJJ Mixes Flavors and Cultures with Its Shawafel Burrito Offering

With six locations across California, a convenience-focused catering option and a mobile food truck, SAJJ Mediterranean is able to bring its innovative cuisine and tasty food hybrids to a sizable audience. The eatery offers a "personal, satisfying and transporting" experience of region-specific food and it boasts an exotic menu of Mediterranean entrées that one can "customize any way [one] wants."

The sample menu for SAJJ's food truck boasts traditional items like the Falafel in Pita, Shawarma Wraps and Pita Chips with Hummus. However, one of the offerings is a particular food hybrid that definitely warrants attention — the Shawafel Burrito. A dish that incorporates shwarma and falafels, hummus, tomato and cucumber mix, as well as turmeric rice. In an attempt to make it more like a burrito, SAJJ adds arugula and garbanzo beans. The food hybrid is served with a house salad.
