Saca's Mediterranean Cuisine

The food was pretty bomb. I had the Chicken Shawarma bowl with salad and my boyfriend had the Lamb shawarma on rice bowl also had the pickled turnips which felt just a tad bit salty but was still tasty and i also ordered a small garlic sauce on the side which they forgot to put in my bag which i didn't realize til i got home. i guess it's my fault for not checking. i was pretty bummed about it because i was actually looking forward to it but it is what it is. Anyhow the restaurant is fairly small, but the service is fast. you can dine in and there's space inside and two tables outside. I would highly recommend it but i also highly recommend that you check your order before leaving so as to not end up bummed like me. At least the rest of the food was delish! still sad about my missing garlic sauce. oh and the price is actually pretty good especially for Claremont and Socal standards! The portions are good! you're not gonna go hungry after eating. ...garlic sauce...

I ordered a few things for a small party we had. My son is allergic to wheat so I called first to make sure that the quarter chicken and rice plate could be gluten free. They confirmed that it could without the pita. I ordered online and put the wheat allergy in the comments. When picking up, his meal was in a separate bag and they had specified that it was gluten free. All of the food was delicious and still hot. My son had no allergic reaction and enjoyed the food! We will be happily coming back!

I was in the mood for a fresh salad and decided to stop by Saca's. The price was perfect for a chicken salad and it filled me up. The service was quick and staff were very helpful when I asked about the menu. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Flavor: 2.5/5 - Although the food wasn't outright bad, it lacked any noteworthy flavors. The lamb was very fatty and seemed to be accompanied by a bed of salad to enhance its volume, which felt a bit deceptive. However, the Baba Ghanoush stood out as tasty.Price: 3/5 - The prices are fairly standard for a Mediterranean restaurant, but unfortunately, the quality didn't quite meet the typical Mediterranean standards.Quality: 2/5 - The lamb had an unusual flavor that hinted at lower quality, and the salad contained several wilted leaves. Additionally, there was no indication that any ingredients were organic or ethically sourced and the cooking oil quality is unknown. However, it's worth noting that their homemade falafels seem to be a highlight.Service: 3/5 - The service was good.Ambiance: quick, cozy, and conveniently located.

I'm a fan of Saca's since the food is both affordable and tasty. The service is usually friendly, and my boyfriend and I have tried a few items from their menu. We usually prefer ordering the plates and choosing fries or salad as our sides. They provided us with a generous stack of pita bread last time. Yum! Please note that you can order ahead online and then arrange a pick-up time.

Really kind people. Fresh, healthy and filling food. Good prices. It was my first time there and I will be coming back many more times. Would recommend to others.

Two guys walk into Saca's Mediterranean cafe. It's a small cafe in Claremont downtown. They have a couple outside seatings. Free 3 parking is located to the back of store which is limited.We order sandwich combos. I ordered the Lamb shawerma sandwich, lamb is tender and flavorful, vegetables are fresh. The pickle I ate separately as it's more on the saltier side. We shared a small bowl of lentil soup and 3 falafels which is the softest, yummy, and freshest I have ever tasted in Mediterranean food.The combo comes with fountain drink which are craft sodas with five flavors, I tried all except for diet soda. I only like natural sugar. We ordered at the front and food comes out quickly, staff is friendly. Restroom is clean too.Will be back for more after concerts!

Vegan review: My friend Vallerie and I dropped in on 9/26 for a late lunch at Saca's. We are both vegan and were immediately pleased that the menu clearly indicated which items were vegan and which were vegetarian. There was no guesswork at all! I eat at Mediterranean restaurants fairly often and this spot has great pricing!I got the Italian style falafel sandwich with lentil soup and she got the original falafel sandwich with fries. The Italian sandwich was perfect! It combined everything I like about Italian food and Mediterranean food. The pesto and sundried tomatoes were delicious. I don't even feel like trying other things off the menu, this was so good I'd order it every time. Val liked the original sandwich as well, especially the crisp pickled onions. The chunky fries were also a winner, but the lentil soup was just okay to me, so I would order a different side next time. We also ordered a pistachio baklava and walnut baklava. They were both really sweet, but good. We agreed pistachio was the favorite. She has never had Mediterranean desserts and I haven't had them in years due to the non-vegan ingredient of honey usually being present in baklava, so we were really excited to try something new.They have craft soda with some fun flavors like Shirley Temple, which was unexpected. I enjoyed every flavor I tried. but next time I will try the signature mint tea. Val works in the area and will sometimes pick up lunch at a different Mediterranean restaurant closer to work, but said she'll be coming here instead from now on.TLDR: Great spot, great prices, great vegan options

Stopped in for lunch and ordered a piperi chicken bowl and falafel. Neither disappointed. The falafel was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so good, I dumped the rest on my bowl. The bowl was excellent with very large portions of chicken and rice. It could easily be split amongst two people for lunch.

The beef pita wrap was vile! One of the worst things I've ever eaten. Every single piece of meat was chewy and slimy. Made me gag. Ended up tossing it in the trash. DO NOT COME HERE. There are plenty of amazing Mediterranean places around the area. There is no reason to ever come here.
