I highly recommend the Avocado Tikka Bowl, and you really can't go wrong with any of their smoothies. The Avocado Colada is an absolute must try. If you have room for dessert, the brownie and avocado cheesecake were both delicious. Parking can vary depending on the day and time, but if the lot is full, there's a convenient parking garage directly across the street. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, and the space is spotless. They also make their own hand soap, lotion, hair oil, and avocado oil, which is such a unique touch.

There is plenty of easing parking and the restaurant is large, bright, and kept clean. Staff members are friendly and consistent. A friend and I dined in for a weekday lunch and loved it. Within 5-10 minutes of placing our order in, it was ready to be picked up from the front counter. I took advantage of their business lunch special which is offered Monday - Friday from 11am-3pm. For $13 you are given a plentiful amount of food and variety. I highly recommend it. Everything is seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors are spot on with the proteins being juicy and tender, side salad is very fresh and of great quality, and the pita being fluffy and warm. At 9 months pregnant I can throw down when it comes to eating. That being said - I had left overs to bring home. That is how generous the lunch special portion is.

My husband ordered the Beefeater sandwich and really enjoyed it -- hearty, fresh, and exactly what you want from a classic deli favorite. The service truly stood out. The cashier was so friendly and welcoming, and I believe the manager (she had a ponytail and was wearing a black polo) was working next to her and was equally kind. The cashier even asked if we were rewards members. I couldn't remember if I still was, so she kindly looked us up and sure enough -- I was! We even had a free drink on my account, which was such a nice surprise. Great food, friendly service, and little extra touches that make you want to come back. We'll definitely be visiting again!

Seems smaller compared to most sweetgreen locations I've been to, might be a grab n go type of location. Within 5 minutes of placing my order it was ready to be picked up and taken home. My go to selection is the winter harvest bowl. It's filling and keeps me satisfied for hours. I usually don't finish it in 1 sitting, which I like, since pricing is on the premium side for a salad.

If I could sum up my experience at Abor Vitae in one word, I'd choose "Amazing."…read more As noted so well in other reviews, this little shop is tucked away in the NIU building on Diehl Road. And while it may be a little difficult to find it, it proves the maxim that good things are worth looking for (if that's not a maxim, it is now). The owner roasts his own coffee beans, roasts chicken in house, uses orgcanic greens, makes his own salad dressing, and makes soups from scratch daily. Plus, he serves breakfast, with all the accoutrements one would want. I enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee, some scrambled eggs with sausage, and an English muffin. It was all tasty. The star of the show, however, was the sample of lentil soup he gave me. As I was paying for my bill, I said to Ashraf, the owner: "I'll be back next week to buy some beans from you. And if I like your soup, I'll buy that too. Trust me." "I do trust you," Ashraf said. "And I trust my soup. You'll be back" He was right. I tried the soup that afternoon. It's delightful, flavorful, and made with love. I went back two days later, and bought my coffee beans, and a quart of lentil soup. This is my new favorite place.

Unlike most of the reviewers here, I never knew this place when it was new and wonderful…read more I only know it for what it is now: Middle Eastern Chipotle So I started with low expectations. I just wanted (somewhat) healthy take-out with decent flavor, that I could order ahead. I ordered a build-your-own chicken shawarma plate, with hummus and couscous. As noted in the reviews here, they give you very little chicken, so I made sure to order double chicken. It was really good. Flavorful fresh chicken, lightly seasoned couscous. The hummus didn't have much flavor but otherwise everything was yummy. Also ordered the two-pack side of falafel. Looked burnt but actually just right, tons of flavor. Everything was ready right when it was promised. Easy pickup. Tons of parking. Strong review from me but I acknowledge that I don't have the burden of remembering them from the days when they were truly special.

They were starting to go down just before Covid.. and then Covid just about killed them. I thought they may never open again.. so I was glad when they did.. and then I was disappointed. Those strangely sticky tables were still there but the fresh food was gone. Used to be fresh soft pitas everyday.. it was a source of pride for the restaurants. Also, they would slice the meat continuously so that it wasn't sitting around (cool automatic slicing cut it directly from the spit) Now it's a mediocre middle eastern Chipotle styled place serving warmed over food. Such a disappointment. Over 100 visits to Naf Naf and suddenly... I'm done. Been enjoying trying other places, but I miss the old Naf Naf.. the good..no.. the great one.

We hosted a surprise birthday party in the private dining room on a Saturday night for about 40…read moreguests, including kids, and had a genuinely wonderful experience. A few small notes, but overall this place exceeded expectations. The real stars of the night were our servers, Barb and Jeremy. They were consistently attentive, professional, and kind -- not just to us, but to every guest in the room. Jeremy noticed the birthday celebrant hadn't had a chance to try the chicken tenders, and quietly arranged a special plate with bonus fries just for him. That level of care and awareness is hard to find. On to the food -- the chicken tenders appetizers are a must-order. Light batter, juicy, and not dried out like you get at so many other places. They went so fast we ordered a second round, and it came out almost instantly -- no wait at all! The spinach & artichoke dip was warm, cheesy, ooey-gooey perfection, served with light and crispy tortilla chips. I had to physically stop myself from eating more to save room for dinner. For the main course, we had three options. The fettuccine alfredo was generous in portion (I couldn't finish mine!), though the chicken pieces were a touch tough -- and a slice of garlic bread would be a nice touch to balance the creaminess. The meatloaf, though? AMAZING. Served on a french roll, topped with crispy onion straws and a sweet, tasty barbecue glaze -- it was a showstopper. The millionaire bacon burger was untouched at our table, but guests raved it was big, juicy, and delicious. A nice bonus for families: kids under 12 were able to order anything from the kids' menu, which was a great perk for the younger guests. When our 2-hour window was almost up, we were planning to extend -- and before we even asked, they told us the manager said we were welcome to stay longer if we needed. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. We took the full extra hour and guests enjoyed mingling, cake, and desserts without feeling rushed. Oh, and the women's restroom? Clean and fully stocked. Always appreciated! The surprise was a success, and this place played no small part in that. Highly recommend for private events!

We also had the chicken souvlaki, which is amazing. During our brunch, we shared the saganaki and pita -- the saganaki here is not to be missed. We also shared a delicious lamb burger that was tender, juicy and served with unique toppings. The accompanying Greek potatoes were also unique and very tasty. The service is always excellent here.
