“Naf Naf is a busy lunch spot in the heart of Chicago! The service is fast, and the food is good! I was pleasantly surprised with the falafel, as a lot of fast casual restaurants overcook them. Overall, this is a great spot if you want some mediterranean food on the go, and I would recommend it.”

“Went in for an early lunch so was the only one to eat in. Quick service, tasty bowl of rice, chicken and falafel. The falafel had a very crispy shell and soft interior, perfect.”

“Today At 10 am I went to this place and asked for a chicken sandwich, she put bread on towel which is with detergent and i politely asked them to change bread she changed but looked in my eyes and put the bread on same towel place. I don’t know why they did this please check cameras because I will also report to this somewhere else”
“I have only been to Naf Naf Grill a handful of times, but my last visit sealed the deal. Rackelle, the manager, was amazing and delivered excellent customer service. She made sure I was informed about my order and provided my food quickly and efficiently. The restaurant was also clean, and the staff had a great attitude. I will definitely be back to order more soon. 🤗”

The food is always fresh and delicious. Special shout out to Rackelle who keeps the line moving every time I’m there. The place is clean and always is stacked with utensils and other supplies. Definitely worth every penny I spend at this place.”
