Customers can choose from a regular bowl, a lite bowl, a pita pocket or a Saj wrap. Once they have selected what they are building, Saad described multiple choices for customers to select from.

“You choose your base rice, brown rice, quinoa, greens, and then you have the vegetables, the sauces. We’re known for our garlic sauce. It’s delicious. And then after that you pick the protein,” he said.
