A La Saj - Calgary Description
A bit of A La Saj History
A La Saj was founded by two young Syrian Entrepreneurs in January, 2013. The mission was creating a home-like place with an exquisite fusion sandwiches, and an atmosphere of comfort. Our aim is to make Saj a trend that is familiarized in the Western World as a “fresh home-made wrap”.
Our Food
With a variety of over twenty-five sandwiches, A La Saj describes itself as a fusion take on Saj where we strive to create a mixture of Levantine and international ingredients. A La Saj features flatbread sandwiches made the way they are in Damascus and around the Levantine area of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Another our speciality – saj – is a domed grill used for baking flatbread. Dough is rolled out and laid over the dome where it cooks quickly. The breads are then folded around various ingredients such as halloumi or raclette cheese, chicken shawarma, hummus, falafel, bresaola or mushrooms. A La Saj serves both authentic traditional Syrian sandwiches as well as contemporary or so called international ones with all sandwiches under $12. Restaurant also create various saj desserts by smearing the bread with honey, Nutella or ricotta cheese.
In our menu you will also find fresh and refreshing salads as well as fresh juice and smoothies. For all the shisa lovers A La Saj will offer a variety of flavours. And, for the best of your health, it‘s nicotine-free.
