UPDATE: Furn Saj opened in last May 2021.
Furn Saj is a Lebanese bakery, with locations in Granada Hills, Glendora, and coming soon, The Summit at Calabasas, 26791 Agoura Road.
Their menu includes a variety of plates served with fresh saj bread, such as shawarma, soujouk, gyro and kebab. They also serve oven-baked mana’ish, a flatbread covered with various toppings. There’s quite a large variety of these on their menu at www.furnsaj.com/menu.
Formerly at this location were the short-lived Village Fish Market & Restaurant and more recently, Chipotle (which closed in 2018). Let’s hope for something more lasting with Furn Saj!

As of Tuesday, December 29, 2020, the new drive-thru Starbucks at Janss Marketplace is opening in 4 days. That’s what the sign says, courtesy of Kira K. The Starbucks a block away next to Jamba Juice is now closed. No word on timing of Wingstop and California Fish Grill. I’d imagine fairly soon in 2021.
The old Starbucks, now closed, at The Village at Moorpark, next to Jamba Juice.
