    WOW What a great experience!!! Amed and the crew here are incredibly hospitable, connecting with each guest individually. So rare! The food is delicious and the bread is made-to-order! The atmosphere was quite nice as well, though the stools could be more comfortable. I will definitely return!

    Cozy Mediterranean place with comfortable interior decor and welcoming attitude. The owner/manager was very warm and helped us choose from the French menu, and called out to his mom in the kitchen when we asked what today's Mama's special was :) Food was excellent and in addition to the busy dine-in people, a lot of people came in for takeout orders as well. Upon leaving, the owner apologized for the busy lunch hour and not having time to sit down and talk with us. Family-run at its best!

    Without doubt the best falafel I've ever tasted in an amazing burger with delicious fries, just delicious. The owners are so welcoming, fun and friendly and the whole place has a fantastic atmosphere. Really excellent, diverse menu. Not too big a restaurant so phone ahead or go early. Very highly recommended especially for vegetarian diners.

    Delicious foods especially their sauces are amazing even a dip for chips. Spent a great time as the atmosphere is so joyful and comfortable, realised why the review rate is so high. Definitely will go back to try different dishes!

    The reviews are true! This place is amazing! It is a must-try if you are in the area. Not only is the food full of flavor, the service was helpful, sincere and attentive. We might even go back tomorrow. It’s that good. While classified as Lebanese, there is also a Mediterranean flare to it. You won’t be disappointed!

    Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. One of the few places in central Paris which lived up to the high reviews on Google Maps and TripAdvisor. Easy to reach location, lovely decor inside, and the staff were very polite and friendly, plus able to speak well in English. We ordered 3 vegetarian dishes and everything tasted great - cooked well, balanced well and tasted as it should have. Homemade bread "saj" was delicious. Would definitely visit again next time we are in the area.

    As a tourist I was looking for a cozy, and fun place to eat. I loved this place, cozy, energetic and friendly staff. I believe two brothers are owners. Very welcoming. Portion sizes are small but tasty. I likes falafel sandwich ( they do not have platter), also Tabouli and hummus. Shoot there are closed Sunday 🥲. All in all lovely Certainly coming back.

    We popped in for lunch.The burger was lovely and Saj Kefta was ok. My friend loved the houmous, but it was too garlicky for me. The waiter was friendly but forgot to bring our houmous till the end. He made up by giving us an extra baklawa though. Overall, the food and the ambience was lovely, but a little bit pricey.

    I cant even remember how I managed to find this place but I am so happy I did! It’s super cozy, but in a good way. The staff is incredibly friendly and funny. If you don’t speak French, they won’t judge you. ;) the food itself is delicious, portions are enormous and prices reasonable for Paris. Highly recommend stopping by!

    A small restaurant owned by two brother who serve food and give you an experience by their hospitality. It has been a very long time that i felt so appreciated by dining out. The service itself is a 6/5. The food that is offered is excellent - everything tastes so good. No alcohol is served in this place!

    Loved the Lebanese food here! They have plenty of vegetarian options and full of flavor. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. He explained the menu in detail about the various dishes and the bread they use. He chatted with us quite a bit. He offered us a free dessert at the end (a Nutella crepe), but honestly that was not matching the amazing quality of the previous dishes. Overall, a very nice experience 👌

  • 5/5 Pelin G. 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    it was an experience I simply must share. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The staff here truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Every dish that graced our table was a masterpiece in its own right. The ambiance is inviting, the décor tasteful, and the overall vibe is just delightful.

    Great experience! The owner personally sits with you to help you order, takes time to explain the dishes. Food was great, good portion size. Relaxing ambience after a tiring day in Paris.

  • 5/5 Shivani Mahabaleshwar P. 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    We stumbled onto this place after a long day of exploring on a freezing January day, and it was like a warm, welcoming hug. The Mediterranean focused menu has Sai (sandwiches), burgers, sides, and desserts, and seemed very vegetarian friendly. The menu also has English translations so it was very easy to understand and order as someone who does not speak French. I got the Mama Lova (chicken burger), and my husband got the Falafel Saj, and we got an eggplant cream (Baba Ghanoush) to share. Both dishes were generously portioned and so, so tasty! The falafel in the sandwich was perfectly crispy, with a mixture of sauces and veggies. The Mama Lova burger is one of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had, with a delicious Lebanese twist. The Baba Ghanoush was also perfectly seasoned and a great accompaniment to our entrees. Special shout out to the owners who maintain such a lovely atmosphere and immaculate vibes in the restaurant. They seem to have a great rapport with their regulars, and were very kind and friendly to us!The pita served with our Baba Ghanoush was cut into a heart shape, a lovely little touch. The restaurant has very cozy seating, and shines through with the owner’s personality. Would love to be back on our next trip! I am already dreaming of my next Mama Lova 😍

    Amazing service and menu explanation from the manager, ordered the Falafel and Chicken sandwich. We loved it. The Fatoush salad was really tasty. Hummus was served with the fresh bread which was great.

    Amazing delicious meals and really friendly staff. We visited around 45 mins before closing time, they welcomed us politely and took our orders in a few minutes. I will definitely visit again😍

  • 2/5 Ben S. 2 years ago on Google
    The workers and the service in general was amazing. BUT the food wasn’t good at all. The Saj was too sweet, with a tiny amount of meat. We ordered the plate with the chicken and Kebeb, it came with long green beans, lettuce and fries. The fries was good, but the beans was overcooked and tasted really bad, the chicken was thick and super dry, without any taste, and the Kebab was just normal and a bit dry. We saw so many good reviews and got really disappointed. The two stars are ONLY for the staff that we really kind and nice.

  • 5/5 Lauren S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super tasty food but what makes this place is the guys that run it - they are so fun! Chatty from the moment we walked in, and created a relaxed cosy feel when it got later in the evening.

  • 5/5 Merle H. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was really good and tasty. The service was super nice and friendly. I would highly recommend going there again. Food came fast and the prices are fair.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food, great design and great service. The place is very kids friendly which is also important and not that trivial in Paris. They made an effort to find place for the push chairs and to make us feel comfortable. The food was very good, their burger is great, as well as the saj and salads. Spices and flavors are authentic and taste like the middle east with a local twist. Enjoyed it a lot, thanks!

  • 5/5 M7md 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff, treats you like family, the interior is comfy and cozy. Food tastes amazing, best burgers in Paris (based on my opinion).

  • 5/5 kyle p. 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal food and phenomenal service. We’ve been traveling for 4 months and eating out every single day. This was the best restaurant experience of all of them. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. You will not be disappointed if you come here.

  • 5/5 Phil C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious, fresh and well seasoned. The bread is made to order, so the wraps are worlds better than something made with a flour tortilla. Cozy atmosphere, attentive and kind service. Loved it.

  • 5/5 Kayla R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing and the poeple are super kind! You also get quite a big amount of food for a small price! Definitely will revisit when we come back to Paris!

  • 5/5 farhat z. 1 year ago on Google
    Paris. Cook'n Saj All meats halal. Alcohol served. Went once pre Covid and again yesterday. Delicious. Friendly staff. 2 brothers and their mama. The waitress spoke English and understood my awful French. Not far from Notre Dame so you can get some sight seeing in too. Baklava was freshly made and delicious. ❤

  • 3/5 Divya C. 1 year ago on Google
    The service and location is superb. We got our food super fast but there were a few mistakes. We didn't get what we ordered so they fixed that, but the food was a bit bland and so so. Could have been much better

    greet friendly owners, cozy place, excellent food! will be back 😊

    We went here after the Louvre, primarily because it was one of the only places still open after 2:30p, and we were starving. It looked highly rated and fun, so we walked over. Now that I’ve been to both places, I can confidently tell you to just skip the Louvre (you can more closely study Da Vinci’s masterpieces online) and go directly to Cook’n Saj — unless you want a stuffy, crowded, overwhelmingly busy experience to further enhance the relaxed, tasty time you’re sure to have at Cook’n Saj… I cannot adequately describe for you how enjoyable our experience was at Cook’n Saj. Please go. It’s all amazing. We got the humus and a big plate of their rice, chicken, beef, and salad — enough for two to share. The bread that comes with the hummus is a great time. Our server was Nikoleta, and she’s fantastic. If you’re American or primarily an English speaker, who has undoubtedly spent some amount of your visit smiling uneasily through one-sided conversations of rapid fire French, only to fumble the word “Merci” and almost die of cringe, you will feel warmly welcomed here. Anyway, we told them that we liked Cook’n Saj better than the Louvre. I promise you will too.

😐 Granted, setting and mood are nice. Staff is, for the most part, friendly’ish. Food was average, in other words, rather disappointing.
