I have eaten here a plethora of times over the years. They do not dream up new dishes. They do not abandon old dishes. They simply serve dishes. Shawarma, falafel, hummus, fixins. Plates, pita sandwiches. It is pretty simple. It is pretty good. It is pretty cheap. . . . A sweater!

Yum! So good!! My favorite place for a quick and healthy lunch. Love Love Love the food at Saca’s. My favorite is the chicken plate that comes with hummus, a salad or fries and pita bread. Salads are really good, and so is the falafel. The owners are really nice people who are always there! Literally everyday from open to close. Go to Saca’s!!

As a DC native, I am accustomed to finding great Mediterranean hole-in-the-walls. One of the big things I’ve missed coming out to little suburban Claremont for school is fast, cheap, and delicious ethnic food. I’m amazed I didn’t notice Saca’s sooner. I was wandering around the village looking for coffee before a late night and passed by Saca’s and decided to buy myself dinner. My falafel sandwich was very tasty. The falafel was crispy, but not hard, the tahini sauce was flavorful, and the veggies tasted fresh. I also ordered tabouleh which was fresh and not too soggy. All in all, a very satisfying and cheap place for students to go in Claremont (there are not a lot of places that are this friendly to a student budget!). It’s too bad it’s not open later—I bet they’d get a lot of late night studiers otherwise.

I’ve started coming here for lunch on a semi-regular basis and the people behind the counter recognize me and say hi now. The reason for 5 stars is because they are very sweet, and also because they have the best falafel! I didn’t even like falafel before this restaurant because it’s usually overcooked and too hard and dry. I ordered it here to give it one last chance, and found that Saca’s falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside while still moist on the inside. The tahini sauce is the perfect complement. Their sandwiches, more like wraps, are also reasonably priced and flavorful. I had the 1/2 chicken platter once and it was a MOUNTAIN of food. Chicken, salad, hummus and pita – oh my. It’s $8 but you get what you pay for.

My sister actually yelped this place for me because I was craving for a falafel. I decided to call them at 8:00 p.m. and they had just closed. However, the lady that picked up the phone offered to make a falafel sandwich for me anyways. It’s always great to find a place with excellent customer service! I think that made my falafel sandwich taste so much better. I will definitely return again…
