Saj Restaurante Árabe, Arabic restaurant in Pinheiros District, Brazil
Saj Restaurante Árabe is a Lebanese restaurant in Pinheiros District that serves authentic Middle Eastern dishes prepared using traditional recipes. The menu features a diverse selection of specialties made with fresh ingredients.
The restaurant continues the culinary tradition of the Abbud family, who gained recognition in São Paulo during the 1960s and 1970s with their earlier establishment called Flamingo. That era of experience still shapes the kitchen and service today.
The kitchen uses a traditional saj, a domed metal griddle that is central to Middle Eastern cooking for preparing flatbreads and other specialties. You can watch the cooks work with this time-tested method as they prepare your meal.
The restaurant is open daily and stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, with space for about 80 guests and valet parking available. The size and parking options make it accessible for different group sizes.
The menu features unusual creations such as kibe made with squash and topped with pea sprouts, alongside the Chocolamour dessert combining ice cream with hot chocolate sauce. This blend of traditional technique with modern variations makes the culinary experience here distinctive.
