Falafel in Chicago, IL

“New to the neighborhood, I was excited to try this place, and MAN OH MAN. It was so good. Classic comfort with a delicious twist. We got the Tahini Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich, the Kefta Burger, and the Stuffed Falafel; not a dud in the bunch. The toppings and condiments that some on the burger and sandwich made basic diner food such a delight without feeling over the top. The real stand out was the stuffed falafel. I never thought of having a filling in a falafel, and the sweetness of the caramelized onions was such a delicious complexity to a classic Middle Eastern dish. Now I want to eat through the whole menu to find my favorites.“

“My daughter who is living in Asia tracked down this place for me (well, actually she wanted to eat there vicariously)and it was a great find. She asked me how I would rate the food (1-10) and when I said 10, she was impressed since I am not a foodie. Food just doesn't do it for me well.. until this meal. It started with me picking up the meal. The family who own this gem are so generous, so welcoming that I stayed talking to them longer than my dogs, who were waiting outside, would have liked. When I arrived home, the lentil soup was stilling piping hot and wow, so delicious. I am not a lentil soup, or even soup, person but I am definitely returning for more. The sauteed spinach with bulgar was well-yeah, I would definitely eat bulgar all the time if it tasted like this. As it turns out, there was so much food that I have a second meal. Thank you for this great meal and the welcoming. I, and people I know, will be there.“

“A neighbor recommended Mr Shawarma and decided to give them a try. I ordered the fried shrimp and the chicken wings and they were fried to perfection. However the chicken wings were too salty.The place is very clean and the employees very attentive.It is located on a business strip so parking can be challenging. I live next door so I am lucky.I do recommend Mr Shawarma. Open everyday from 12 to 8 PM except Saturday from 12:30 PM to 6 PM.

Parking: There is free parking on a strip mall but it is often busy. More meter parking on Wilson“

“The food tasted very fresh, and was made in a timely manner! The staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome. The mint lemonade was absolutely amazing!“

“New to Chicago and on the hunt for good middle eastern food in my area. I had a bogo deal through Uber/Postmates and decided to try out the Chicken Shawarma platter for pickup/takeout. I received a generous portion of rice, chicken, a small salad, hummus, and one pita per plate.

Overall, this is a good option close to me that seems nice for takeout over dine-in. Service here was excellent and the environment was clean. The food wasn’t my favorite - mostly paying for rice, chicken was good but dry, seasoning was very light - but the portions were generous. I personally wouldn’t dine here again unless I had a good deal for the price point and quality.“

“This place is great! The service is excellent- the servers are always so pleasant. The food is fresh and tasty! The portions are huge! The bowl feeds 2 people and they always give you a pita! I frequent this place at least 3 times a month!“

“If I could give 20 million stars to Naf Naf Grill on Clinton, I would do it in a heartbeat! This team knocked it pit of the park with their service, organization, follow-through, and amazing food. I had a presentation with an important client of ours and needed to make a last-minute request for catering for 20 people. I put my order in online at 5:30pm the day before and they had my order, hot, ready, complete, and organized beautifully at 10:30am when I requested. No frills or bull. The team was the kindest and everyone said hello and served me well. And all the food, utensils, labels (yes, they include paper tent labels for all the food!) etc. came in two excellent reusable bags. I am so wowed. I was nervous at first, and Naf Naf on Clinton rocked it beautifully. I can’t wait to order from them again and again! Thank you, Naf Naf Grill! You’re a gift to the city!“

“You can eat light and healthy here. But three of our 4 people found Tinfoil in their food. I had tabouli, hummus, cucumber salad, pickles, rice and double order of spicey chicken and a pita for only $11.99. They didn’t charge extra for the Tinfoil!!“

“Good food I love this restaurant“

“Walking through the mall, decided to try it- the bowl was so delicious! Got the chicken with rice and cucumber sauce- came with a warm pita to dip into the hummus… so tasty. My friend got the garlic sauce, and that was also really good. Highly recommend!!“

“Food is Bomb!! 💣 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I went to this branch for the first time. I felt like this branch is mediocre compared to other naf naf in Chicago area. The could keep the restaurant a little bit more cleaned. I bought a veggie bowl with fries. The fries was very oily. I have eaten much better fries at other places.

Parking: It’s somewhat expensive to park on the street in this area.“
