Do you remember back in the day when chipotle first opened and you experienced the rush of the customizable bowl? The nostalgia before they started to suck, where you could get a burrito the size of your head that could easily feed a family of 4 but YOU decided to take it on solo? Naf Naf has managed to capture that feeling, coupled with fresh ingredients made and seasoned well, made for a great surprise lunch out. Think chipotle line, but middle eastern cuisine instead. Everything was very fresh, and they had a great variety to choose from (do you want a bowl, stuffed pita, salad, or platter?) As a disciple of the Church of Latter Day Soup, having any Savory Cereal options on the menu is a big win for me, and being able to get it as a side at no additional charge is like magic these days. I got the lentil soup with my wrap and it was delicious, light, well flavored, and a good size. They had a stuffed wrap lunch deal with fries (or soup) and a drink for $10, and provided a massive pita for the price. I got the chicken shawarma with all the veggies they had and was not a bit disappointed. Ambience was also really nice! Very "cafe" feeling, but clean inside and out. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Menu - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

4 stars. The steak bowl was delicious, but it was the Moroccan sauce and spicy green chimichurri that truly took it over the top. I skipped the garlic sauce after learning it contains mayo. Traditionally, it doesn't, so I'm glad I asked before ordering. The couscous was perfectly prepared, and the chopped salad was incredibly light and fresh. I could have eaten an entire bowl of it. The cilantro really makes the flavors pop. Bonus points for having Seagram's Ginger Ale in the fountain! IYKYK I was excited to see it, although the syrup had run out when I first tried it, leaving me with soda water. Fortunately, the issue was fixed quickly. My tip: ask for your chicken to be cooked fresh. The pre-prepared chicken I sampled was a bit hard and chewy, so I'm very glad I asked to taste it first. All the steak is prepared fresh, so no special request needed. It was surprisingly quiet inside, making it a great spot to work remotely, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a peaceful meal without distractions. I'll definitely be back very soon! read more

Place okay, nothing special, if you want to grab something fast yes, but not the place for good mediterranean food

I just stopped by for a light lunch. I tried the hummus and rice. Hummus was okay kind of lacking in flavor to me , the basmati rice was the better out of the two. I would try something again but the young girl helping me didn't really seem to want to sell me sides. lol I asked her a few questions and I got the feeling I was bothering her. Some items you can get in some sizes I guess is what you she was explaining to me. Anywho the gentleman that rung me up was pleasant. Nothing wowed me here. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Veggie Build Your Own Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

First time visiting Naf Naf was a good experience. It is set up, kind of like a chipotle style bar. You can see all the ingredients and you select what you want to add to your bowl. The staff was knowledgeable and informed us what the items were when we were deciding what to add. It was very yummy and unique. We also both got a pita on the side. Which was warm and very soft! Will visit again! read more

We recently tried Naf Naf through delivery, and it absolutely hit the spot--plus some! We took advantage of their BOGO deal and enjoyed two Pita Stuffed Sandwiches along with Build-Your-Own Bowls. It was the perfect combo for lunch, dinner, and even some tasty leftovers. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The fries are absolutely ridiculous, you have to get some if you go! We're so glad we decided to give this place a try and can't wait to order again! read more

I'm obsessed with the deliciousness of this place. I order the bowl. The chicken shawarma roasted on a spit, deliciously seasoned and hand cut each day is a favorite. I'm picky about falafel and theirs is perfectly cooked, great flavor with a hint of cinnamon! Nice touch. The toppings are such high quality. The sauces... ALL of them are fantastic. The pita a wonderful texture. The hummus, both kinds... so creamy and flavorful. But what magic is in the pickles! The place itself is sterile and always freezing. So I order and pickup. read more

I've had almost entirely good experiences here, but tonight my doordash featured an extra long hair after I cut my hair into a pixie

This place is really good. The pita was nice and warm, soft and fluffy. The spicy hummus was really good. The toppings from the cucumber salad to the onions and cabbage were all good. I out the Nafgiki sauce and garlic sauce in the pita and it was delicious. Naf fries were nothing special, almost like a steak fry, but could be warmer. Rice had good flavor, it was just a bit dry. Overall I would definitely come back! read more

Naf Naf Grill - Pita with Steak and spicy humus, basmati rice, naf fries, nafgiki sauce. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Inauthentic fake Mediterranean food. This is NOT real Mediterranean/middle eastern food. Poor qualify and poor service.

I was in the mood for baba ganoush, and I satisfied my craving somewhat here at Naf Naf Grill. What I really wanted was a giant bowl of baba ganoush and a pile of hot pita, but I felt like the more "adult," responsible thing to do was to order a complete meal. Naf Naf is like a Mediterranean Chipotle, in that you can customize your pita pocket sandwich, bowl or plate any way you want it. I kind of wish they had a few prepared options, because I really don't like to think if I don't have to. But they don't, so you need to figure out if you want a pita sandwich, bowl or plate. Then you pick your protein, sauces, sides and other things. I got a bowl with half salad, half banana ganoush, with shawarma chicken. The shawarma chicken was tiny pieces and is a little dry (not unlike jerky), so I don't think I'd get it again. The rest of my bowl tasted really good, though. It comes with up to three sauces, and I didn't need to put any additional sauce in mine because it tasted perfectly seasoned. We also got a pita with steak (steak is an option that's $1.50 extra), and the pita sandwich was good too, but a little small for the price. I'd definitely come back to Naf Naf to try some of their other items, like the falafel and fries. read more

Stopped by here for a take out lunch. Very reasonably priced - the plate is a particularly great deal, allowing you to try a couple different proteins. I also had a coupon for free fries, which were tasty and very dippable. Great option for a quick and filling meal read more

Fresh ingredients in your custom Mediterranean bowl. Love building my own bowl! I do 1/2 cous cous and basmati, cabbage, chop salad, and add steak. The steak is so tender and delicious. I recommend sauces on the side at least the garlic one, it is very strong. You have to get a side falafel's and dip them in the spicy hummus. Also, the new fries are fire! It's hard to find tasty and crispy fries anywhere: these have flavor and are mushy like most fries you get out. The lentil soup is one of my favorites to order here in the winter. It does not take long to walk in and get your order. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. Parking readily available. Also, add the Naf Naf app on your phone, I have it, and you get rewards for loyalty! read more

Food- I love the customizability of the bowl. You can even go half-and-half with different meats and bases. I would recommend the steak over the chicken Shawarma. The chicken can be a little bit dry, and the steak is really flavorful. Service-the staff are very helpful! She could tell it was my first time ordering, and she helped answer all of my questions, and help me create a delicious bowl Ambiance-imagine a Mediterranean version of chipotle. The indoor decor has info about various things on their menu. I will definitely be making a trip back to eat more read more

Naf Naf Grill - Half Steak and half Chicken Shawarma Hummus Bowl with basmati rice, garlic and tzatziki sauce. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

This Naf Naf Grill is likely our favorite fast food place in the Carmel area. We have gotten food from here many times and have even used their catering for our daughter's first birthday party. The food is always delicious and packed well. The Naf Naf location itself is very easily accessible with lots of parking. It is always clean when we visit with great services. If you have kids, they also have high chairs available for use. If you're thinking about catering from Naf Naf I highly recommend you just call them directly. We didn't have much luck with their email service, but we're assisted immediately when we called. They just recommend calling about 24-48 hours before the event. read more

I was in the mood for Thai and Asian food for dinner one night, so I looked on Uber Eats, and found Naf Naf Grill. I have driven past the location many times and not had the opportunity to check it out , so I figured I would order some food through Uber Eats. I decided to try the Thai chicken bowl and curry soup with pita bread. The curry soup was spicy, but excellent and tasted wonderful. The Thai chicken bowl was fresh and tasted terrific with the right combination of ingredients. The pita bread was a nice combination for my dinner and the soup. I will need to go to Naf Naf Grill in person to check out the ambiance and receive the full dining experience and service. The food is top quality and top notch. I would definitely check this place out again and recommend Naf Naf Grill to all of my friends. It is simply delicious. read more

I first found Naf Naf when I used to work in Brookfield Wisconsin and it quickly became a favorite. The falafel and hummus are always excellent and the garlic sauce is so smooth, creamy, and garlicky that I could almost eat it from the container with a spoon. Almost. The fresh baked pitas are soft and light as a cloud. I was very happy when we got a few Naf Naf locations here, including this one that is close to home for me. I had previously reviewed the IUPUI location and hadn't realized that i had neglected to review this location despite several excellent visits. The app makes it easy to order, and the rewards program is nice. The employees are very friendly, and with parking available directly in front of the store it is a nice place to grab a quick lunch. I noticed on this visit that hummus and baba ghanoush are no longer available as free toppings but as side items with an extra charge. I meant to take pictures but our food disappeared too quickly. read more

Online ordering was a breeze. Food was waiting on side when we got there. The pita and hummus was fluffy and flavorful. I was looking forward to falafel, but they were a bit dry for my taste.. luckily I had some garlic sauce and tahini for dipping, Would def be back for a quick dinner. read more

Yum! I'm so glad I finally checked out Naf Naf Grill in Carmel. I received a BOGO coupon in the mail and ordered two chicken breast kebab plates to go. Each platter is a hefty amount of food - enough for two meals for me. It includes 2 chicken breast kebabs, basmati rice, 3 falafel, hummus, garlic sauce, selected veggies/toppings, and a handmade pita. The chicken has amazing flavor and seasoning - I'm curious what's in it. I prefer to order online and pick-up inside, but I had to use the coupon in-store. Docking a star simply because the customer experience was a bit odd - the three employees working were debating what is the appropriate amount of food to scoop for the platter. I'd like to think they were perhaps training a new hire, but it was all a bit awkward. read more

My sister suggested this place for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it! I ordered a steak pita with hummus, the cucumber mixture, and lettuce. I'm not a cucumber fan so I took a risk trying the mixture. It ended up being pretty good when combined with the steak, bread, and hummus. The staff was friendly and fast. We came on a Thursday around 6:00 and beat the rush around 6:30-7. Although not my first good option, I would come again! read more

Naf Naf Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

This had been on my list of restaurants to try for quite some time. It's one of those go through the line and build-your-own entree type places with a Middle Eastern twist. The employees were helpful in walking me through the line and helping pick out the different toppings. I got a bowl with basmati rice, chicken shawarma, chopped cucumber salad, cabbage and onions. For the sauce, I tried garlic and the s'khug (which is spicy, but not as spicy as the harissa sauce). The toppings were simple yet tasty, and I thought my bowl had a ton of flavor. Plus each bowl comes with a side of pita bread. Talk about a lot of food! My only gripe with Naf Naf is that I wish they had more protein choices such as lamb or beef. Otherwise, it was quick, tasty food at a reasonable price! read more

You need this in your life. Trust me. I eat food, therefore I must know and be an expert in what you need. Anyway, I've tried salads and sandwiches. You get their pillow soft bread either way, but my recommendation is just go for the sandwich. The meats and falafel are both delicious, but my favorite is the steak. The seasoning is PERFECT! I like to add the sumac onions, purple cabbage, pickles and the garlic sauce. That garlic sauce is out of this world delicious. This sandwich is what dreams are made of. If you like spicy, you'll love the skhug!! Get some of that on or on the side of your sandwich. If I could eat this everyday, I would. It is that good. Also, ordering online is so easy and the shelves for pick-up orders are right in front of the door. They opened during the pandemic. Not only do they deserve your business, they're most definitely worthy of it. CHECK. THEM. OUT. Tell your taste buds that I said, "you're welcome." read more

Naf Naf Grill - Steak sandwich with sumac onions, purple cabbage, pickles, and garlic sauce. The stuff dreams are made of. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I have been waiting for the day Indy would have a fast casual build-your-own Middle Eastern eatery. I have a go-to spot in Columbus, OH and Detroit that always leave me wishing we had one here in central Indiana. Alas, here it is! The space is very clean with fun modern decor and a small outdoor space with maybe 3-4 tables. My build your own basmati rice bowl included chicken, tabbouleh, baba ganoush, pickled onions, garlic sauce, Zhoug sauce and a side of fresh and fluffy pita (this was some of the fluffiest pita I've ever had). You could also opt for hummus to be the base of your bowl or go with a wrap. Next time I'll have to try their lentil soup- it looked quite delicious. I'm always a fan of businesses who serve up their carry out eats in compostable containers. Last but not least, I appreciated that they offered several sanitizing stations for customers. read more

I was in the area so I decided to check off one of my Yelp bookmarks. And score, it's next to Sauce on the Side, which looked good too. Here's my experience at Naf Naf Grill. This is like a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. I don't know how else to describe it but that. You choose a bowl or wrap, your base, and your protein. Then choose from the toppings. 4 stars - Naf fries. Okay, so there's not a lot of love in the reviews for this one. So you're wondering why I think it's four star worthy. Well it's because you just have to know going in, that it's not your standard fry. It's thinly sliced potato rounds, deep fried, with a good sprinkling of salt. It's not crispy, although some bits are. The texture is like they oven baked it, but instead it's flash fried. Anyway, I liked this and would get it again. 3 stars - Food. The rice was dry, the hummus had an odd taste (like it was old?) and the toppings kinda made the bowl too watery. I went with the pickles, pickled onions, and cucumber & tomato options. What saved it was the sauces, which I got on the side. Especially the garlic sauce, zhoug sauce, and harissa. They have meat options too. The vegetarian option is the falafels. They had good flavor. read more

Naf Naf is a great place. Essentially it is a Middle Eastern. Chipotle. You can select rice or a salad or a pita base and then add protein and vegetables and sauces. I had a rice bowl and did half and half of chicken and falafel. I added lettuce, cucumber and zucchini mix, onions and harissa hummus and a cilantro sauce. The food was excellent. I also got a warm pita on the side. The falafel was delicious. The service was excellent. Price wise it is good. Definitely go and check it out. read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed Naf Naf because I go any chance I can get! It is the Chipotle of Meditteranean food.They offer gyro options but I always go for the bowl - half rice and half hummus. You could also get couscous, lettuce, or babganoush as a base. Top it with protein - I've tried both steak and chicken and were both fresh. I lean more to the steak to change it up. Top with a range of veggies - get extra pickle! As we all know, sauce is boss. I get extra garlic sauce. I will note that. Their spicy sauce does indeed have kick so I get that on the side. The billowy pita is an absolute must. It is quick, delicious, lighter than fast food, and affordable for the quality of food you get. read more

The food was good I expected a little more for the cost not a deal breaker because the spices was right on. The Roti was the best I ever had. I love whole wheat roti.
