Naf Naf Grill - Niles

I celebrated my PhD this evening at this wonderful restaurant, and I’m happy to say that we had a fantastic time. The restaurant truly contributed to our successful gathering. The staff were exceptionally helpful, the food was delicious, and my guests were all in great spirits. We will definitely return for future events. Thank you very much!

The food is excellent with fantastic flavors. I really appreciate that they make and bake their pita bread on-site; I always buy some extra to take home. It's worth noting that Naf Naf has various serving styles—some locations offer a Chipotle-like setup with bowls, while this one only serves sandwiches and platters. I'm a big fan of the chicken thigh; it takes a little longer to prepare because they grill it fresh. Their fries resemble chips but are heartier and have more meatiness. For a delicious combination, try mixing their red hot sauce with ketchup!

The food is good, but it's a bit pricey for a place that has a fast food vibe. I also found that the service took longer than expected for a casual dining setting.

Naf Naf, a relatively new player in the pita, shawarma, and falafel scene, is gaining a loyal following thanks to its creative marketing and high-quality food. While it may not be extraordinary, the food and service offer great value. The menu provides a wide variety of options for both meat lovers and those who prefer plant-based dishes. Additionally, there is a nice selection of accompaniments and toppings to enhance the basic fast Mediterranean offerings.

This is a fantastic local spot for Mediterranean cuisine. If you're familiar with other Naf Naf locations, you'll notice that this one offers a different approach (you can't customize your bowls here). However, the food remains excellent, and the portion sizes are impressive for the price. Be sure to request the green sauce on the side, and definitely don't skip the hummus!
