The Saj, a dome-shaped cooking vessel producing a large flat bread of the same name, is the inspiration for Chef Adam Tayfour’s foray into bringing authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dining to the fast casual scene in Winnipeg. Tastes of Lebanon and Syria have found a loyal following, with favourites like the Arabic chicken shawarma, shish tawouk, beef and cheese saj and the ridiculously economical platters featuring falafel or kebabs along with rice, hummus, garlic sauce and freshly baked saj.
