# Mediterranean Food Hybrids SAJJ Mixes Flavors and Cultures with Its Shawafel Burrito Offering By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-06-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-hybrid1 References: [sajjstreeteats](http://www.sajjstreeteats.com) With six locations across California, a convenience-focused catering option and a mobile food truck, [SAJJ Mediterranean](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrap-bites) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redefine-meat-shawarma) and Pita Chips with Hummus. However, one of the offerings is a particular food hybrid that definitely warrants attention — the [Shawafel Burrito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawaiian-burrito-and-bowl). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food Hybrids:** Opportunity to create innovative and unique combinations of different cuisines and flavors. - **Convenience-focused Catering:** Potential to tap into the growing demand for convenient and customizable catering options. - **Customizable Menu:** Chance to offer personalized dining experiences by allowing customers to customize their meals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in introducing food hybrids to attract customers seeking unique dining experiences. - **Food Truck:** Potential for success by offering convenience-focused catering options with a menu that can be customized to fit the needs of different events. - **Catering:** Opportunity to differentiate from competitors by offering customizable menus that cater to varying dietary preferences and tastes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mediterranean-Style Shawarma Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cava-chicken-shawarma.md) - [Shawarma-Inspired Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-chicken-shawarma.md) - [Seasonal Green Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-inspired-food-offerings.md) - [Cheesy Mediterranean Breakfast Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-breakfast-burrito.md) - [Shawarma-Style Chip Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-walking-shawarma.md) - [Mediterranean-Inspired Wrap Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-menu-items.md) - [Middle Eastern Cuisine-Inspired Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-wraps.md) - [Vegetarian Mediterranean Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greek-halloumi-wrap.md) - [Remixed Philly Cheesesteak Burrito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philly-cheesesteak-burrito.md)
