Was good until I found a black hair in my food. Definitely not mine. It's a shame I used to say how clean this place was. If they are letting hair in food I can assume that everything else is lax. The one thing in food to not have happen and it did. read more

Naf Naf Grill - A hair. Last time I eat here. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Always a fresh, authentic bite. Nice, clean space. Friendly service. Wish I had the time to dine in. I opted for the stuffed pita; hummus was my sauce base with chicken as a protein. Extra pickled red cabbage and veggies with a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette. So good. My husband requested a bowl; rice was the base with chicken as a protein. Pickled red cabbage, veggies, hummus and mild sauce. He talked about how fresh it tasted. But, I think his sauce was hot instead of mild because his mouth was on fire and his eyes watered. Next time, sauce on the side. Lol. read more

Ok I love Naf Naf. I have tried probably all of their locations and the quality and flavor just hit every single time. Their spicy hummus bowl is so beyond delicious. The falafel adds the perfect crunch and flavor, combine that with all the pickled goodies and veggies with tahini, the new moroccan sauce and harissa, omg. You have the perfect bowl with incredibly flavorful bites. My husband loves getting the chicken shawarma hummus bowl or plate. I love that it comes with a side pita that is always perfectly soft and toasted. The naf naf fries if you're feeling indulgent add the perfect crisp to the bowls. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! read more

Another win for Naf Naf Grill! I was in the mood for a fresh flavorful meal that feels healthy so I visited Naf Naf. I preordered the build your own plate with chicken and falafel with the green spicy sauce on the side and fresh pita. Everything was perfect. I tried hummus for the first time and I'm hooked now. I highly recommend you try this location. Thanks so much! read more

Naf Naf Grill - Build Your Own Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Went today they've changed the plate size and hired new people that know WTF is going on. Won't be back, good riddance.

Nothing about this is authentic. This area is saturated with authentic middle eastern cuisine so not sure why anyone would choose Naf Naf. It's like wanting a filet mignon and getting served a bowl of ground beef. read more

Naf Naf Grill was a miss for me. The falafel was just okay, they didn't have the new Moroccan sauce, and it left me with bad stomach pains. Wouldn't recommend unless you're in dire need of food. read more

I ordered the falafel and it was delicious!! Cooked to perfection (made To order) right there. Service, Food and Ambiance was all amazing. It was my first time going there. read more

Love this chain. Food is different. Appealing. A bit on the expensive side but good. Always clean. Bathrooms as they should be. For a fast food, generally 4 stars. My issue is how inconsistent this specific location is. Been there 4 times. On the 1st visit, just after they opened, the issue was the portions. We had to insist to have even a reasonable amount of food in the bowls we ordered. Funny that other people here mention the same. We almost left but it all worked when who I thought was the manager intervened. Because of this we went back, twice, actually having a great experience with a server who sadly I don't recall his name. Promising. Today we are back, Feb 27, 2022. 2:30 pm and the dining room was surprisingly dirty and messed up. Every single table in need of cleaning. Food on the floors. All the chairs out of place. Feels like someone is not paying attention. The restaurant was empty. There is no reason for the dining room to be like this. Look at the picture. I really hope they put attention to this. We like you guys. Keep the place up. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Dirty and messed up dining room - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

I've been to this location several times and there is a lack of consistency when food is served. One visit the food maybe piled high and appealing to the eye, the next time the server may be counting the grains of rice. Today, I ordered a Build your Plate for $12.95 and the rice and veggies did not cover the bottom of the plate. But the final straw....I found a long strain of black hair in my mouth that had been embedded in the food. Thus an entire $13 plate was tossed. A manager could not be reached and the person I spoke with did not speak English well enough to communicate. read more

The food was so good and service was so good that I came in and made a second order. The staff is very friendly and the food is very tasty. I watched the snow blizzard from the window read more

Visited today for the 1st time, I had the basmati rice bowl with steak and that garlic sauce. The sauce is what took the bowl to 5 stars for me. Service was fast and pleasant; the price point was really good as well. Ask for extra pota bread; it's soft and warm and accompanies the rice dish well. If you in the area give it a try, you won't regret it. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Chicken Breast Kebab Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

I eat here about once a week - usually in the middle of a weekday. Everything I've had is fresh and good. The two regular employees who are always there when I go in are so nice and friendly. I panicked when the Orland Park location closed, but this location has filled the void. I had this location cater my birthday party for 25 people. It was amazing, neatly packed and organized and included free serving pans and sternos. Naf Naf is my soul food. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Pick 2 Plate with falafel and chicken schnitzel (it was free because I had a ton of reward points to redeem - so bonus!) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

So great to have a Naf Naf so close! And it's as good as any other location. Stellar service, fresh food, Decent prices and it's always clean. You really can't go wrong here. Falafel and chicken schwarma are excellent and the drinks they have are nice change of pace too. We are regulars and have never been disappointed in any way. read more

Bit down on a small bone chip in the chicken and loosened a tooth (not cool)they need to find a way to clean out all of the bones when chopping up their chicken read more

Seriously this place deserves ZERO stars! Sorry guys, I was too aghast to take a photo.... Let's start with the staff... our starting lineup is the manager who literally JUST started working there (they've only been open less than a month) and is giving customers attitude, is out of PITA, and can't seem to make the bowls Naf Naf are known for. My husbands bowl was so small it would've left a toddler looking for more. Next up are the rest of the staff, who stay fixed in motion until she barks orders at them and then they come to life. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE Naf Naf. Just not this one. And I'm all for shopping in my neighborhood, I just don't know why we can't get things right here in Oak Lawn. Sorry guys, if you're in the mood for quick shawarma go somewhere on Harlem. Good suggestions are Pita Land, Baba Saj, or Best Shawarma. read more

I passed by this spot the week before and decided to try them. I have gone to their other locations in Orland Park(now closed) & Rosemont. I just knew this spot would be equal to them being brand new....well.... It is a recently opened location, nice exterior...very clean and bright. The food preparers were nice. This location had way more employees than the other locations; it was about 8 of them versus the others have 3-4. Also I noticed this location is not as generous with their portions. Actually my husband's bowl was barely half full. Each location is franchised. Assuming this location was new and want to watch the bottom line. The cashier accidentally charged me for an extra pita that I did not order; co-owner gave me refund and apologized. The food tasted the same as the other locations. The lentil soup is good. I might be back in a few months just to check up on their status, otherwise I'll make the trip to the Rosemont location. read more

As far as local vegan options go, it's rough sometimes. When they closed the Naf Naf in Orland Park, I was super bummed, but...then they opened one on 95th, and I'm back to happy! They have a few things to work out here still. I've been twice, and each time my falafel was a bit hard and overcooked, but everything in time. I'll give it the five starts it deserves when I get my falafel done right. But for now, four stars for being close and having tons of vegan options! Yes, the pitas are vegan! Soooo good. read more

Terrible service!the servers couldn't care less about getting your order right! The Naf Naf Grill in Orland park was wonderful! We've been to this one 3 times and like they say, 3 strikes , you're out! read more

The food is good, however, the windows are dirty, and the glass cases over the food are unclean. It makes you question how the food hygiene is in this restaurant. The service is ok nothing. I would feel better eating here if they maintained to environment to a higher standard. read more

Went in today due to new staff. It appears the owners are running it. This is the Naf Naf I remember! Fresh, delicious food and hearty portions, I'll be coming back all the time read more

Let me start by saying that the quality and service here has improved drastically over the past couple months. If you are here in the past and didn't care for it, give it another chance. The employees are different from before so I am sure that has alot to do with it. The ones from before would barely make eye contact with you and would give you cold food. Now, they don't skimp out on portions and they food taste more fresh. They have new sauces and the potato "fries" are to die for! The food is even better as soon as they open obviously but just had some before they closed and it was still delicious and satisfying. This is out go to for a quick lunch since they are fast and well priced for the amount of food you get. Thank you for caring and lifting this business back up! read more

The food is great the service is not. The woman (Indian) who prepared our food did not understand nor speak English well. After repeating or order several times we moved on to pay. That's when the problem happened and caused my card to be flagged for from because this woman was too preoccupied to help me with the device. Tapping the card was not working properly and I asked for help. She did not so much so that she rudely asked did I even have money for the food. I did and I was completely offended. My sister who I was taking to lunch paid for our lunch. Had my sister not wanted this food after her comment I would have left the restaurant and the food. It was bad service. It took days for my card to get straight. As much as I like their food I will not return. I not only want good food I want good service. read more

Consistently delicious. Family favorite. Kid friendly sauces. Fast delivery with Uber.

I really wanted to come back to check it out, but $3 for a 16 oz bottle of coke... Don't think so. But since I don't know, give them the benefit of the doubt. read more

First time in Chicago and I stopped here while my friends ordered Panera next door. I just got a bowl with rice and chicken shawarma with pita and a bottle of water and it came out to roughly $16. The rice was probably the best part but the chicken and pita were also pretty good. The food made me sick though. I think $16 for chicken and rice is already kind of expensive for the portion size but adding stomach problems on top of that price was also not worth it. I'd say give it a try the day before a colonoscopy so you're all cleaned out. read more

I had never heard of this chain before, but decided to bypass other big chains to support a smaller place. What an excellent decision that was! The staff was energetic and friendly. They could tell we hadn't been before, so we got some free samples of the falafel (which was delicious). I had the chicken shawarma pita with chopped salad and Jerusalem pickles. It was filling, flavorful, fresh, and all around a wonderful experience for my tastebuds. If you're looking for something new with a simple layout and easy to follow menu, check out this place! read more

I love the NafNaf grill in orland when it was open. The food was better and the service and manager better. The problem I have at this location is that the servers are not wearing mask while preparing the food. They are talking over it and spit is flying everywhere. I've gone in there twice to try to convince myself to just get some darn food. But I can't bring myself to do. Even the waiters and waitresses in $ to $$$$ restaurants wear mask to bring you your food. Then when I mentioned it, the manager got snarky. You should want to safe guard your customers. I would patronize this business if basic precautions were implemented. We ARE still living in a pandemic! read more

Dropped into the new Naf Naf this week and it was AWESOME. Ms Robin was a pleasure to speak with and team was friendly. I heard they have a rough patch but everyone is trying to hire. I cannot believe how awesome the pita is and made right there. Can't wait to go back! read more

The part of our delivery was ok BUT what was missing were 3 items. I can understand 1item, but 3? So while the food is alright, delivery service is poor. read more

Nice place for a quick bite of Mediterranean food. Made fresh while you watch. Very tasty!!

I am Arabic and also I own shawarma place rice been couple days and also chicken and steak they very old naf naf gril I been place eat from them they are clean so tasty I guess this business owner don't care about it read more

I was so excited to for to Naf Naf today! I always went to the one in Orland and was sad it closed . My experience here in Oak Lawn was good. The food taste the same, the guy behind the counter was very nice and the portions were decent. My only complaint was a missing pita (which I didn't need the carbs anyway lol) read more

The staff are very friendly, it's really clean and hope to see this place make it. If you are wanting authentic Mediterranean food this is not your place. If you want the chipotle version of Mediterranean food then it's right up your alley. I thought the food was to be expected - a quick bite, reasonably priced, average tasting American take on Mediterranean food. People need to manage their expectations- it's a chain for Gods sake. read more

My first time trying and everything was great!! From the customer service to the tasty food. It's a chipotle style Mediterranean restaurant. The portions are nice!!! I will definitely be returning soon. read more

We are all enjoying our food! Two bowls, soup, falafel, and a pita. healthy options, prepared well, and quickly.

I frequent this location and I love the food. I often drive in that direction just to go to naf naf as i did today. Although they close at 9pm, I arrived at 8:45pm and the doors were locked. As someone who works in fast food I understand wanting to leave when you are off but closing 15 minutes early is unacceptable in my opinion. read more

Horrible service. The workers are all incompetent. Ordered a mobile order and I had to wait an extra half hour while they completed orders of ppl standing in line. read more

I love it! I thought I was taking a risky chance because I know nothing of this cultures cuisine. My manager ordered some food from this other place and I really enjoyed it. So I was hoping I'd enjoy this too since it's close to my apartment. I did and I will be coming back as much as I can. I have the build your own plate with falafel and crispy chicken, basmati rice, and cucumber tomato and cilantro salad. I also couldn't choose between the caramel walnut baklava or the traditional pistachio one. So I got both and ate half of each. but they were so good. My favorite was the caramel walnut one. read more
