“Passed this place a bunch of times and finally went in. It’s ALOT inside. Whoever designed the tile work is a mad genius. It’s everywhere. The waitstaff was wonderful and the uniforms are awesome. The food was great and priced fairly with Giant portions. We will be back.“

“My husband and I enjoyed a delicious and authentic middle eastern meal this past weekend. The food was fresh and flavorful. The owner did the cooking and we even learned a few words of Arabic with his help! Shkran! The location is tricky to find as the restaurant is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall on Cumberland Avenue. We live in the northern suburbs, but were in the Norridge area on business. We might even travel to Bab al Salam for no reason at all! There is plenty of casual seating and many people stopped in for take out. Enjoy!“

“I have been a loyal customer of Naf Naf Grill for the past seven years, and my love for their food has only grown over time. Located in Chicago, Naf Naf Grill is a fantastic eatery that offers a delightful range of Middle Eastern cuisine, perfect for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious meal.

The falafel pita sandwich is my absolute favorite. The pita is always fresh and pillowy, stuffed with flavorful falafel and topped with an array of fresh, crunchy vegetables and creamy sauces. It’s a satisfying and wholesome meal that never disappoints. The rice bowl is another standout item on their menu. The combination of fluffy rice, perfectly cooked protein, and an assortment of toppings and sauces creates a delicious and customizable dining experience.

What sets Naf Naf Grill apart is not just the food, but also the consistently friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant maintains a clean and inviting atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to dine. Over the years, I have appreciated the quality and consistency of their offerings, which have remained top-notch despite the challenges faced by many restaurants.

Naf Naf Grill’s commitment to fresh, made-from-scratch ingredients and their wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options make it a go-to spot for a healthy and satisfying meal. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time fan like me, Naf Naf Grill is sure to leave you coming back for more.“

“ordered a large order. they provided lots of sauce but forgot two main courses. instead of saying oh well and hanging up they went out of the way to bring us the items and a treat of baklava. this business has always been great and make all customers feel valued“

“Wow! A+++ What a find! We came in on a Sunday night and we were just blown away by our meals. The fresh homemade ice tea was delicious and unique, the hummus and stuffed grape leaves were both super yummy. The kefta and chicken schwarma were both very good- every detail to the meal was homemade and very fresh. The garlic toum sauce was a great accent and the tahini was wonderful too! Homemade pickled vegetables with exotic flavors. The baklava was one of the best I’ve ever had. From beginning to end the entire meal was just outstanding! Clearly made by people who care! We felt transported to another place with the amazing flavors! If we lived in the area, we’d definitely be regulars here!

“Best Mediterranean fast food I have ever had! Very good quality meat, always tender and marinated to perfection! My kid’s favorite restaurant and always a hit for our family party’s!“

“Tasty shawarma and excellent service. Reasonable prices in addition make it a great choice for a casual meal or take out. Has room for improvement when it comes to decor. That said, I'll take the excellent food at this spot any day over a restaurant with great interior design and average food.

Recommend and will visit again!“

“The girls working tonight were super sweet and understanding. A+ for customer service delicious food and scrumptious hot fresh pita bread!“

“It's a really great Mediterranean restaurant in Niles. A group of people I work with every Saturday, and I order lunch from here. We order the platters, they are huge! The rice, meats, and vegetables are all perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly as well. Owners are very gracious and helpful. Great place to eat, a great place to cater from.“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“excellent food, consistent everything. never disappointed.“

“I’ve lived less than a mile from this place for a decade and never tried it; tonight was the night. It’s a unique establishment - hookah lounge, banquet hall, bar. Walking in was a little confusing for first timers but we were quickly welcomed and seated at the bar. Drink pours were impressively heavy. Our food came out fast and was great. The cheese burek appetizer deserves special mention with its garlic and hot sauces! Our waiter/bartender was in full hustle mode on a busy Friday night but still found time to take good care of us and have a few short chats. Overall I’d highly recommend eating here. It’s a bit “different,” but who likes the same old thing over and over? I’ll be back.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options here.

Parking: Parking in front and behind the building, one lot has a small curb to traverse. Not an issue for most vehicles.“

“Fantastic Mediterranean cuisine with fresh, unique options. Well worth a visit.“

The food was top notch. Amazing selection in the buffet. They have a lot of variety of different foods. All of them were good and amazing.
