It’s been a long while since I’ve been to Furn Saj. Wifey works in the valley on Thursday and wanted to go to lunch (for in-car dining.).
So we went off to Furn Saj.
For those not familiar, here are some shots of the inside and of the menu boards.
So we got a “falafel pie” (Vegan btw) $7.99, which is 3 falafel, hummus, tahini, parsley, fresh tomato, and turnips in oven-baked mana’ish bread.
This is really huge. It was served in a 12” pizza box. If this is your entire meal, I think two could split this. My fatass couldn’t even take down a whole one.
Cross section.
This is REALLY sloppy LOL. The juice from the tomatoes and turnips and tahini will drop all over you if you eat it hot. Pro Tip: wear a bib, eat over a plate (or the box) or stand and lean in. My car interior is now dressed in pink tahini. HOWEVER, it’s really good eaten hot. DAMN is this good.
Then we got a beef shawarma plate, $15.99. Comes with tahini, turnips and two sheets of saj bread. You also get your choice of two sides. Choose from hummus, salad, baba ganoush, fries, white rice, labneh, fattoush or for $2 more you can get tabouli.
Huge. Two could split this if it was your entire meal. Really great. You can see in the photo above this is like the most enormous roll of meat I’ve seen in a long time. Crunchy pieces mixed in with tender pieces. The only thing slightly off-putting for me is every once in a while there was some overpowering tastes of allspice (I think it’s allspice).
But in the saj bread with some hummus damn so delicious.
We have an insane amount of leftovers. I’ll start eating it for lupper and some more for fourthmeal.
Btw, they have an app LOL!
Also, here’s a link to their website. https://www.furnsaj.com/ They have locations in Granada Hills, Glendora, and Calabasas (near border with Agoura)
