Sajj Shawarma Menu
Sajj Shawarma at 3843 Caxton St Unit B in Whitecourt serves fresh Lebanese and Middle Eastern comfort food built around shawarma, grilled meats, rice platters, falafel, salads, poutine, and traditional sweets. Drinks include pop, Barbican, Mirinda, and bottled water, while desserts such as baklava and knafeh provide a sweet finish.
Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma, Chicken Taouk, Mixed Platter, and Mediterranean Platter are among the strongest choices for first-time diners. Chicken and beef shawarma platters are especially popular, combining seasoned meat with generous sides and sauces.
Wraps generally cost around CA$10–$16, while most platters fall between CA$18–$25, offering strong value for substantial portions and freshly prepared ingredients. Juicy grilled meats, crisp vegetables, fragrant rice, creamy hummus, tangy pickles, and bold garlic-forward sauces create a balanced mix of smoky, fresh, savory, and zesty flavors.
Vegetarian and vegan diners have several options, including falafel, Vegan Platter, Vegan Tableya, stuffed grape leaves, and salads. Healthy options are also available, while gluten-free items are not clearly identified and should be confirmed before ordering. A kids meal with chicken fingers, fries, and a drink makes the restaurant family-friendly.
With service beginning at 11 AM, Sajj Shawarma is best suited to lunch, dinner, takeaway, family meals, and casual group dining rather than breakfast.
