I have eaten at almost all the middleastern restaurants in El Cajon. It was my first time here. I was pleasantly surprised at the entire experience. This may sound odd but in my opinion they have the very best Nan bread in town. ...
Tiny little restaurant hidden in a small strip mall behind a pizza place. The food is delicious, perfectly cooked and well presented. Excellent service coupled with a reasonable price makes Saray a musttry favorite for the hungry adventurer.
Family joint with lots of local fans of the food, which is obvious just dining in and people watching for 15 minutes. Outstanding shawarma so tender and flavorful. Cant wait to try their falafel. The restaurants atmosphere is clean, classy, and comfortable.

Quite an incredible Middle Eastern restaurant. The service is great and friendly but the food is incredible and delicious. The prices are decent, better than spending the same amount of money on a McDonalds Bigg Mac meal...and healthier! I highly recommend it
