I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate with a Greek salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, the rice was delicious, and the salad was crisp with a generous amount of feta. To top it off, I grabbed some baklava for dessert, and it was amazing. My only complaint? I wish I had gotten more pieces! The staff was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Easily a 10/10. No notes. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

Food was tasty and served like they were plating it for photos - looked good not just mashed together. It's a take a number and we'll bring your food kind of place yet the service was excellent. The server was attentive and helpful - suggesting with a baby we may want to sit outside since inside was a bit loud and crowded. Had baklava too but forgot to take a photo. $35 or so for the two menu items and baklava which felt like a little too much. Had a small handful of fries been included I would have been happier.

It has an extensive menu selection of Mediterranean food and friendly staff. I would have to say that the dips are the star of the show. Getting a combination of a couple or doing one of their platters that gets you a variety is key. The pita bread comes out hot and you can easily share with friends and debate on the best one. The grilled platter we got was also good. The meat wasn't as juicy as I would have liked it, but it hit the Mediterranean flavors well. The rice was more sweet and dry than I typically like my rice, but went well with the meal. The day after it was not good at all though, so that got some point deductions for me. Overall, if you're craving Mediterranean at a chill spot, it's not bad, but it's not the best. I would say 3.5 overall, but 4 for the dips.

We had reservations at 11:45 AM but since the servers were in the kitchen was not seated until closer to 10 minutes later. After I was seated, I was promptly brought water. I then ordered an appetizer of hummus. The amount of pita served with the hummus was very little. It was a nice sized portion of hummus there was definitely leftover hummus as you were only given a few pieces of small pita. Our server was very kind and very observant when I asked about dishes that were dairy free. She was very helpful on that. The ambience was very quiet, even though there was a a few tables nearby. Really nice ceilings. The food was good. It would be nice if there were more options on the menu as well as dairy free desserts.

Naf Naf Grill is located right on State Street near the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI so it is a quick easy option for many college students and people working in the area. Naf Naf Grill is not the best Mediterranean food I have tried but it still hits the spot and satisfied my Mediterranean food cravings! You get your food quickly, you get large portion sizes for the money, and you can customize your food more to your liking. Naf Naf Grill mostly serves customizable rice/hummus bowls and build your own plates/pitas, and falafel. I enjoyed getting their customizable rice bowls where you first pick your base such as hummus or rice, then pick your protein such as Chicken Shawarma, then you can add more toppings such as tomatoes, cucumbers, Tahini, and Sumac Onions. My favorite toppings I like to add to my rice bowl are their Naf Pickles and extra spicy Harissa sauce which is so satisfying! That Harissa sauce gives it a nice extra kick!

They do have a lunch menu as well as their typical menu with both mediterranean as well as Italian options. I opted for their "famous" (their words) falafel sandwich. Maybe I was anchored by their use of "famous" in their description but I was not impressed. The falafel was quite dense and lacked the earthy/herby flavor I was looking for. The tahini sauce also lacked any sort of punch. At $15.99, it simply didn't deliver. It wasn't terrible but also not great. Sure, the complimentary bread was a nice throwback to simpler times. Will it be another 14 years before I return? Who knows but I won't be in a rush for a return visit.
