La Saj Lebanese Bistro

Great place, huge portions! They are usually busy and understaffed, but that's okay, common these days. The food was rather good. I got the chicken mushroom dish, can't remember the name exactly, and the sauce was just delicious. I've got an appetite on me, yet even I could not finish the plate and had to take the rest home for lunch the next day. Huge portions. And for the price, exactly 20 bucks a plate, that's pretty great. Nice place for a date or any occasion I suppose, I say that just cause the ambiance was perfect for my liking. I hate it when it's too bright in some places. Nor too dark. So they put some thought into that. Enjoy

We got the meat feast for 4 which was a HUGE serving & probably enough for 7 people at least. The meat was delightfully tender and well seasoned. We got a hummus plate to share, which was excellent. They served warm bread with a garlic dip that was actually WONDERFUL. I got lentil soup which was delightful and piping hot. Others got a salad which was fresh and crispy. Our server Moe was super friendly, polite & prompt. We went on a Friday night at 5pm & were seated immediately (It was fairly full). They also have an elegant party room for private parties. We look forward to dining there again.

So this place is actually really excellent. Great food, great people, great atmosphere! The only mistake of theirs is one I unfortunately see quite a few restaurants make. When ordering online they don't accept "special requests". I would understand this (so as to avoid complex requests as they might regularly be very busy) if they allowed basic substitutions (on whatever app or interface), but they don't. So if you don't like turnips or are allergic to some particular ingredient for example, you're simply out of luck. It's a bummer because I'd otherwise order from them all the time. My suggestion would be to either allow "special requests" or add options for basic modifications; like checking "no tomatoes" or "no pickles". However I don't think it's necessary to accodate everyone (though it's nice to try) and perhaps they have such an order load that they don't mind missing out on more. Anyway, I'm not going to mark them down because they really are a great place to go if you're wishing to dine out. However, I'm also not going to be ordering out from them.
