Solid Lebanese comfort food and a catering service locals trust
Au Petit Saj is the kind of Lebanese address that Colombes locals quietly swear by. Tucked away on Rue Hoche in the Vallées neighborhood, it's not much to look at — but what comes out of the kitchen is consistently solid. The mezze are fresh and generous, the shawarma sandwiches are a reliable go-to, and the beignets salés are worth ordering just for the crunch. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 stars across 166 reviews, and the praise is remarkably consistent: good food, friendly service, fair prices.
What sets Au Petit Saj apart from the average Lebanese takeaway is its catering service. Multiple reviewers have used them for private events — including weddings — and come away genuinely delighted. That's not a small thing. If a restaurant can handle a wedding buffet and still keep the daily mezze platters up to standard, you know the kitchen is run by people who care. The flan à la fleur d'oranger et pistache is a house specialty that regulars rave about — skip the baklava for once and try it.
It's a casual, no-frills setup — more neighborhood canteen than date-night destination. Go for a quick lunch, grab a mezze platter to go, or book them for your next family gathering. Just don't expect white tablecloths. You're here for the food, and the food delivers.
