My experience at Saadi Di Saaji was extremely disappointing.
First, they charged sales tax on the bill but did not provide a proper FBR tax invoice, which is questionable.
The quality and quantity of the food was not good at all. The taste was average and the portion size was very small compared to the high price they are charging. The price does not justify the quality and quantity at all.
There is also dishonesty in billing. They have an offer for UMT students of 25% discount, but it's just a bluff. The 25% discount was not given. I even sent the bill back to the waiter twice to get it corrected, but still the final bill was incorrect, as you can see in the attached
bill.
We ordered Sajji flavoured Malai and cheese Kababs. The malai piece in sajji was extremely tasty and tendered. The kabab were juicy as well. The service was very good and the staff dealing with us named Esha was very cooperative and humble.
Had the best foot service today! The staff was super professional and the whole experience was relaxing. Special shoutout to Esha — she’s such a good girl, very skilled and polite. Made my day. Highly recommend!
We ordered three flavours of their special Saadi sajji. Lemon n Herb, Tandoori and Peri-Peri out of which Lemon n Herb was really good and Tandoori too. Lemon n Herb had a light lemony herby flavour, no colour added to the spices. The rice were flavourful with bits of achaar in it, could have had some tomatoes and mint to make it more appetising. Also got Afghani, imli and tomato chutney with the dish. Afghani was the best. Imli also very nice and tart with real Imli. Overall, good experience tho. The server was also really friendly and recommended good options.
If you truly love tender, smoky, and perfectly spiced meat, then Saadi Di Sajji is nothing short of a hidden gem. From the moment you step in, the aroma of slow-roasted lamb and chicken fills the air, promising an authentic desi feast that stays with you long after the meal is over.
Let’s start with the star of the show – the sajji. Traditionally prepared with whole lamb or chicken, marinated only in salt and a few select spices (with optional stuffing of rice, potatoes, and chickpeas), Saadi Di Sajji gets the fundamentals absolutely right. The meat is unbelievably tender, falling off the bone with the slightest touch. The skin is crisp and smoky, thanks to hours of slow roasting over an open fire or charcoal. Every single bite is juicy, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying.
What I personally love is that they don’t drown the meat in heavy masalas. Instead, the natural taste of high-quality meat shines through, complemented by a subtle smokiness that is hard to find elsewhere. Their special rice stuffing – aromatic, mildly spiced, and cooked inside the sajji – absorbs all the juices and flavors perfectly. Served with fresh mint chutney, salad, and naan, the combination is pure magic.
Beyond the food, the service is warm and efficient. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and happily explains the different cuts and portions. The seating area, though not overly fancy, is clean, comfortable, and family-friendly. The prices are also reasonable for the quality and quantity you receive – whether you’re going with a group of friends or a family dinner, the value for money is excellent.
The only regret? Not discovering Saadi Di Sajji sooner. Whether you’re a sajji lover or trying it for the first time, this place will leave you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished eating. I highly recommend the full sajji leg with extra rice stuffing – bring an appetite, and you won’t be disappointed.
Final verdict: If you’re looking for authentic, smoky, melt-in-y
