    DELICIOUS!!! Convenient for a quick bite. Most importantly, authentic Lebanese flavors. I’ve been wanting to stop by since a while. My expectations were very high. I was delighted by the food and the service. Can’t wait to be back!

    Simple, delicious, filling and affordable! Stumbled across this while waiting to check-in at a nearby hotel and was looking for a quick, light bite to eat. We ended up coming here three times over our three day stay in Genève. The falafel and steak were both delicious, with one wrap being enough for one person. They're stuffed full of veggies and sauce on top of the main protein. They are all prepared fresh and take about 5 minutes from order. The best part is they were all very affordable! Highly recommend stopping by and getting one to go for your train ride out of the city.

    Maybe the only affordable place in Geneva, this place was a fantastic and unique find, a pita place that brick oven cooked each concoction to perfection. I really enjoyed my plain zaatar pita (just the spice and some oil on a pita, warmed) and liked how they blended the falafel for the falafel pita to spread as a paste across, an interesting innovation that wasn't as good as the zaatar but was good in its own right.

    Saj Eat is a hidden gem when it comes to manakish. Their focus on simplicity and high-quality ingredients shines through in every bite. The flavors they bring to each manakish are simply delicious, leaving you craving for more. One thing to note is that Saj Eat doesn't have a seating area. However, this shouldn't discourage you from trying their mouthwatering manakish. The lack of seating doesn't take away from the overall experience, as their main focus is on providing top-notch food. The staff at Saj Eat are friendly and efficient, ensuring a pleasant and quick dining experience. The aroma of freshly cooked dough and enticing toppings fills the air, making your visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a quick grab-and-go meal or a satisfying snack, Saj Eat is the place to be. Their dedication to using high-quality ingredients and their expertise in creating flavorful manakish make them a must-visit for any food enthusiast

    Excellent Lebanese street food. Quite spicy 🔥 !

  • 5/5 Yosi H. 10 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    The menu is the French, and I don’t know French. But the owner (I think he is) kindly explained the menu to me. I ordered this wrap called Soujouk which I believe contains beef, lamb mince and cheese. It is very tasty!

    This is probably my favourite food place in all of Geneva. Much as I try and go explore others, always end up coming back to Saj Eat. It's really well-priced and quick. Don't gloss over the desserts - they're really good.

    Traditional LEBANESE MAN'OSH 🇱🇧 ❤️ Small place, only take away. The menu it's only manaqueesh for Lebanese street food and some dessert. 🙏🏼 Price really cheap for zaatar $, the others manaqueesh in normal range for Switzerland market $$. 3 variety of muhallebi $$. Fast service. Gentle workers. 5" walk by the train 🚆 station Cornavin of Geneva.

    I remember reading about this place in someone's blog, saying that it was a must visit place for some good food. We got to take a tour of Geneva's Red Light District on our way to Saj Eat, which was quite the experience. When we arrived, we learned that most of their dishes weren't available because they were out of some meats. We ended up ordering a few different items and oh my gosh --- they were definitely delicious. This place is random and kind of a "hole in the wall" so-to-speak, but if you're looking for cheap but delicious food, you've come to the right place. It's packed with flavor for a super affordable price... and that's saying a lot for this very expensive city.

    A classic Syrian style sandwich shop and the breads they serve are freshly prepped and baked in front of your eyes! The sandwiches are warms and toppings are juicy and yummy. They have both vegetables and meat options and recommend all of them! Make sure you ask to fill in side toppings, because they normal roll up the bread if you don't specify. Best ask what the baker's recommended serving style, and you should be fine. The staff are friendly and speak English too. Prices are very decent for Geneva standards. Bon appétit 😋

    I had a falafel manouche, it was very tasty, 9 CHF. They had a lot of vegan options. The person who was taking my order was very nice and friendly. The location is perfect and you can eat inside or take away.

    Great food, the wraps were made fresh, falafels were not dry and flavour was on point. Asked for medium spicy, great sauces

    No nonesense, fresh, and delicious Saj. You can’t get a cheaper lunch in Geneva than this.

    Had burrito stuffed with Halloumi and it was a bit blind, didn't feel the taste of Halloumi, it was probably shredded.

    Food tastes great and great service. I can only recommend it.

  • 5/5 Niha A. 9 months ago on Google
    We are traveling to Switzerland from USA and live in a very diverse area with tons of good food. You could consider us foodies! We haven’t had many great places in Switzerland until we came across Saj Eats! We got one soujouk to try and took a few bites then proceeded to order the Soujouk labne. As we were walking away with the food, we turned around to get 2 more. The owner laughed with us and was super welcoming. Highly recommend for some flavorful food with great meat quality! The ingredients were fresh and I could see them make it in front of us. Awesome place, this owner is definitely going to be big!! Thank you!

    As good as you can imagine. Lamb ones were specially delicious

  • 5/5 Ali B. 4 years ago on Google
    Just yummy! It has been a while since I have eaten a "Man'oushi" and was so glad to see that this place offers authentic "Man2eesh" of different kinds! Simple, nice and great place to have some traditional fast food! Recommended!

    Some say it’s better than Parfums de Beirut 😉

  • 5/5 Sam 2 years ago on Google
    So happy to have discovered this place. The best Lebanese food joint I’ve found abroad. The food is authentic, fresh and with high quality ingredients..delicious! Will drop by every week that I’m in Geneva.

  • 5/5 Alexandre T. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent Saj fast food with very authentic and quality products at reasonable prices. Really recommended if you are looking for that kind of meals. Only downsides is they can be rather busy and close (relatively speaking) early.

  • 5/5 Ultegra M. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap and cheerful eat near the main station 🚉. We were tempted as some cool Geneva students were hanging around outside. 🕺 Amazing quality bread, cooked in front of you. We ordered the falafel wrap, and didn’t expect what we received ! Essentially the falafel mix is spread evenly onto the bread as if it were a paste, no falafel balls here. What lacked in a falafel crunch and density was made up with by the even distribution of the taste throughout the wrap , and the other condiments which included peppers and hummus. Overall, we think that there could have been more filling but the overall taste and texture of the wrap was good value (especially in Switzerland). We would like to try the Za’atar bread if we come back if we’re passing through.

    Such a gem of a find close to the train station!! Delicious, made to order (including the bread, which is baked in a wood fired oven in front of you!) wraps that are very reasonably priced (7-11 CHF) and very filling! My favorite was the soujok ma lebneh but the zaatar was a close second. The perfect meal that strikes a balance between salt, acid, fat, and heat... and you can't beat the freshness.

  • 5/5 Rebecca L. 5 months ago on Google
    Great food, great prices!! This little, to go only spot was so good, we went back a second time! While you wait for your order, you see the food put into a wood burning oven and notice all the regulars coming in for their usual. The main guy knew peoples' names and speaks English. We ordered the falafel (vegan option) and the soujouk and took them to a nearby bench to enjoy. Fresh ingredients and all the complimentaey flavors made each bite delicious! The wraps are about the size of a foot long at Subway, but of course, wayyy better. Highly recommend Saj!

  • 5/5 Tsvi T. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic and authentic. Fresh laffa made to order, well seasoned meat, and perfect pickles. The only Swiss thing about this shop is that their beef comes from Switzerland 🙃

  • 5/5 Hardeep N. 7 months ago on Google
    Super tasty wraps that are reasonably priced, and easy to eat on the go when exploring Geneva. Good quick lunch stop if you want something hot, flavourful and cheap!

  • 2/5 Svetoslav P. 5 months ago on Google
    I got the halloumi, tasted okay, but it was super dry, no sauce and the halloumi was raw and shredded, not grilled. Sad. Very disappointing. Maybe the others tasted better, like they looked on pictures.

  • 5/5 Filip M. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend this Libanese street food joint. Small place, amazing food, fairly priced,and very pleasant service.

  • 5/5 Alishah Jamal (. 8 months ago on Google
    4.9/5 absolutely phenomenal sandwiches/wraps. Best of all, it's so affordable! Average of 10 francs for a sandwich. I had the soujak and it was soo tasty. Best Lebanese sandwich shop in Genève. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ramy K. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite spot to grab decent food on the go. I ate here at least 5 times in the past two weeks and every time the food was good. The staff is very friendly and the service is fast.

  • 5/5 Ahmad T. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a pleasant experience with this food place. The taste is the same taste of Syrian and Lebanese pastries. The service is super fast. I liked the interior. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Maximilian G. 2 years ago on Google
    In my opinion, Saj Eat has truly dethroned Parfums de Beyrouth for the best Levantine food in Geneva. (Parfums is still very good, and has greater variety of course). I personally love the Sujuk ma Labneh, but literally any of their sandwiches are amazing.

  • 5/5 K K. 9 months ago on Google
    Wraps coming right off the heat, breads cooked on spot, very filling and one of the best when paired with the right hot sauce!

  • 5/5 Alaa D. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it.. You have to grab your sandwich on the go here. No tables.

  • 5/5 Daniel D. 9 months ago on Google
    Server was so kind, small place with AMAZING food, we were talking to the server for 10 minutes and at the end he ended up giving us an extra sandwich free of charge! Food is top tier amazing middle eastern food and prices are great!

  • 5/5 Negar M. 1 year ago on Google
    Saj never disappoints! The food is super delicious, fresh, light and affordable. The bread is baked in-house. The falafel is authentic (green fava beans, if I'm not mistaken). I eat here very often and the quality is consistent.

  • 5/5 Alex A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best falafel. Really liked the place. Very friendly people. The way he progressed the orders in Dutch was briliant

    This is a great take-out place. Reasonably priced and high quality food. It's a great spot to grab a bite and walk the city.

  • 5/5 Hameed A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Lebanese authentic bakery, fresh & hot tight from the oven. Good for a quick bite & take away.

    I was there yesterday with my wife and 3-month-old son. The food was good. However, the staff was unfriendly. The music volume was extremely high for such a small place, and we were literally unable to hear each other when I was ordering. I politely asked the staff to lower the music a little bit so we could hear each other without screaming, and he refused and was unfriendly. I wanted to cancel the order and leave; then, he lowered it a bi
