My family eats at Naf Naf all the time. We LOVE the food! It is fresh and delicious, always hits the spot. Enough for two meals for some of us. The next day we fight for the leftovers. The people who work there are always kind and welcoming, and the restaurant is bright and modern, although we usually get takeout. The falafel is really good, so the vegans in the family are especially happy, but honestly, the rest of the carnivores are happy too-- either with the falafel or the steak or chicken choices. The hummus and babaganoush are yummy and the pita bread is made fresh.

This was our first time trying Naf Naf. The food was incredibly tasty and fresh. The staff was friendly and the portions were generous. The restaurant (including the restroom) was all hygienic.

Perfect meal! The pita sandwich is a respectable size packed with ingredients and you have a few customization options for your salad bowl (I went half couscous, half baba ghanoush). The grilled steak is tender and cut into big slices. I would eat here everyday if I was located closer to them.

Naf Naf Grill is a pleasant and wonderful little place for a divine lunch experience. The flavors of the proteins, toppings, and sauces offer a delicious experience in middle eastern taste, as well as GARGANTUAN portion sizes! I highly recommend coming to this establishment for a lunch date, day out, or any other reason you can think of!

Naf Naf Grill opened pre-pandemic. We had seen it plenty of times but were huge fans of Blaze Pizza. Each time we walked by, we'd say, "We should really stop in!" Based on past reviews, I'm glad we hadn't. I'm also glad we hadn't read the reviews and am more delighted perhaps, they may have, are still in business and we finally decided to give them a try. We were NOT DISAPPOINTED!Naf Naf is more a fusion of Middle Eastern flavors and freshness with just a healthy feeling.While I cannot eat spicy foods, my partner was not disappointed with his Spicy Chicken Pita. Make no mistake, my Chicken Shawarma Bowl was loaded with a beautiful balance of delightful flavors, neither salty nor acidic, (as I imagined it might be) to upset my stomach. I had chosen a light cucumber yogurt dressing. The gentleman brought my dish out with a sample of garlic sauce, which he suggested might enhance the flavor of my bowl choices. I hesitantly acquiesced and soon found my eyeballs rolling to the top of my head. I was sold.My partner & I, loved the pita bread- he especially loved the extra kick of the spice level. He was completely satisfied with his portions and felt no need for additional food when we got home.Their lentil soup was just perfect and what the doctor called for on this cold evening. For my bowl, I chose a base mix of 1/2 couscous and rice; both cooked perfectly, adding hummus for an extra .50. The meat, cooked on a rotisserie over multiple hours was just right- still soft, not dry; seasoned just wonderfully, not at all salty. The purple cabbage added the perfect crunch. Selections of toppings were a feast and sauces, ranging from mild to spicy made it easy to please the taste buds.Finding hummus and great baba ghanoush together, is truly a hidden gem. Both were excellent. I'm already planning a charcuterie board for this weekend's gathering. Safe to say, with all I had, over 1/2 my bowl came home with a lid for tonight's dinner. They also had a Baklava which looked so tempting- but I honestly, could not fit another bite. Saving for this weekend!Ordering was easy. Quite like Chipotle's, which we do eat at a lot, however, I feel the prices were a little less and portions a bit better. Perhaps they have listened and that's a great thing. I found the staff quite helpful- their suggestions much appreciated and made all the difference in my experience, restaurant very clean. While in St. Louis on a recent trip, we came across a similar Middle Eastern restaurant (fine dining) and paid 4- 5 times the cost. We have gotten into a rut here in CMI and are so excited we finally stepped in.It you're a meat lover, vegetarian or even vegan- you'll find many ways to mix it up... don't be shy in asking for suggestions, but do yourselves a favor, whether it's been a while, or looking for a new, (healthy) option for yourself or your family, stop in and give them a try. They've survived the pandemic; they've outlived Blazed Pizza... let's not allow this one to slip away. The only way to ensure we have great options here is to support businesses who work to get it right. That they've done!Dine in; call for order pickup or delivery available through Door Dash or Uber Eats- it doesn't get any easier!Note: This is not a paid review. Just so happy to have finally stopped in. Would be remiss not to do my share!
