Saj Grill Coralville — Restaurant in Coralville

I had the most wonderful dining experience last night. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the clean, bright, and inviting atmosphere. It’s the perfect blend of modern and cozy, making it ideal for a casual dinner or a special occasion.

We started with the hummus and falafel, and it was a revelation. The hummus was unbelievably creamy and smooth, with a perfect balance of tahini and lemon, drizzled with the most fragrant olive oil. The falafel were golden brown, crispy on the outside, and miraculously fluffy and herb-filled on the inside. It was the best I've had outside of the Mediterranean itself!

For our mains, we ventured into their grilled specialties. The chicken shawarma was marinated to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and packed with aromatic spices. But the true stars of the show were the kebabs. We tried the lamb and the chicken shish kebabs. The grilling was masterful, giving the meat a beautiful, slightly smoky char while keeping it incredibly tender and succulent on the inside. Every bite was a burst of authentic flavor.

Absolutely a 5-star experience. We can't wait to come back and work our way through the rest...

We were in Coralville shopping today from an hour away and had heard about this place. We love mediterranean food and we're very much looking forward to trying it. This exceeded expectations. All the reviews that discuss the flavors and the wonderful and welcoming staff are spot on. The owner was patient, helpful, generous and his excitement is contagious! We had the chicken Shawarma and the beef kofta platters. We also had the falafel and a portion of hummus. The shawarma had the warm spice and tender chicken you'd expect as did the kafta. The falafel was really great! Pillowy and flavorful! This where the majority of food reviews might end, but the Greek salad shined just as bright. Not just a salad with a few pieces. It had generous veggies and perfectly dressed. We brought home a dish to share later, and it ALL traveled great!! Kofta...
