I was really excited to try Roti, as I love Mediterranean cuisine. I found this place before I came to visit Chicago. It really gives a Mediterranean Chipotle vibe, where you can build your own bowls or pita pockets and customize it to your liking. I made a rice bowl with the harissa chicken, roti chicken, and feta. It was pretty decent. A little expensive for just a bowl. I also got a very upset stomach the next morning - so be cautious. Service is generally friendly! read more

The lines are always insane so definitely order ahead to beat the lunch rush, but the food comes out fast and is pretty good. read more

Roti - Build Your Own Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place was amazing. The portions are huge. Lots of meat. There's also a lot of options for toppings and vegetables. They give a lot of of each thing that you asked for. Unlike some other similar restaurants. The place is kind of small so seating was limited. We could not find a booth or a full table. So we sat at the high table Near the window. The people helping at the register and building station were nice. Bathrooms were clean. Very good meal and very affordable. I especially liked the pita bread. I got two pieces which was included in a bowl. The pieces were huge, soft and warm. read more

This place was amazing. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. I ended up building my own bowl with rice, greens, chicken, and a ton of different veggies. The portions are SO big, and they do not skimp out on meat protein portions at all. I really liked how the bowl came with a side of freshly baked pita bread. It was soooo good. The employees were super nice and efficient when building the bowl. The place is casual but with so much nautral light because of the ceiling high windows. There were some tables and booths, but they were taken. So we ended up sitting at the small high tables overlooking the streets near the window, which was a great place to eat and people watch. Will definitely come back here and try more of their bowls and proteins read more

We had a brief time before boarding a boat for the architectural tour, so we headed over to Roti for a healthy lunch. We had the steak and Brussels sprouts bowl. It was delicious and filling for two people. Service was prompt and courteous, and food was tasty. The ambiance is casual, and the place clean and tidy. read more

Roti - Skirt Steak & Brussels Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was back in Chicago for a conference (after having lived here for 3 years) and had to come back to Roti, as it used to be a weekly go-to lunch spot. Pros - The quantity of the food hasn't changed where you can still get your bowl filled to the brim and they don't skimp! (It's a little more than Chipotle, withva bowl, a pita, and a drink being $18.) - The speed of service was great. From the time I walked in until I was seated was less than 5- minutes which was great. Cons - The pita was DRY! (Granted I did go at about 11:30a, but still super dry.) The chicken also could have used a bit more spice/Flavoring. - The customer service also wasn't the best, but things change, so could have been worse! read more

Roti jumps on the shrinkflation bandwagon and limits you to just 6 toppings despite extensive literature stating unlimited toppings. Very disappointed in this change apparently made July 2026. read more

I was looking for a well-balanced, healthy takeout spot and tried the harissa chicken bowl. It has a nice subtle spiciness to it and I appreciated the bowl was filled to the brim! I also didn't find the pita dry (as other comments say) and thought it was great and wish I could've gotten some extra (: read more

Food here is good! But the name confuses me Roti is Indian not Mediterranean! Then they serve the bowls with a pita. Love all the different toppings you can put on your bowl. Harissa Chicken is great. The pita is great. Ended up coming here twice in one trip and the last trip they were out of pitas but still charged you full price. Restaurant is designed for solo diners to grab lunch but still has areas for couples of groups to dine together. read more

Found a bone in my bowl!!! Contacted them and no response. Absolute slop. It's an in and out place and tiny.

Wanted to have a light dinner before seeing a show at the Goodman Theater and decided to try Roti, which is a quick walk away. We each ordered the Harissa Chopped Chicken Salad, and OMG was it delicious! The chicken was extremely juicy and flavorful, and all of the veggies in the salad were fabulous. Even though it was dinnertime, the veggies were all crisp and fresh. The salad was served with plush, warm pita bread - yum! Seating was limited, and there was a steady stream of customers, but no one had to wait for a table, and the staff was really nice. I'm already thinking that the next time I'm in Chicago, I'll want to return to Roti. read more

Food// Great portion sizes and reminds me of Cava in California but Roti has whole chickpeas as a side, falafel with some whole pieces of chickpeas, olives, tahini and red pepper as a dressing, crispy pita crisps no extra charge along with pita. Some downsides in comparison to Cava: -They do charge more for half salad and half grain for a bowl. -1 type of hummus but have other sauces and different toppings ie olives and pickles Service// Super quick and easy to build your own bowl. Restroom requires a code and water cups on the side Ambiance// Plenty of seating, clean and good grub that's affordable read more

Loved this place. My kinda food. My bowl was stacked high, could have been a bit more giving with the protein. The addition of the pita was great. Seating is a bit tight for a big guy. read more

Wow, I don't think I've been to a Roti before. They're great! We had a salad and a salad and grain bowl. We had the veggies with 2-falafel add-on, but they have chicken and salmon too. They have a large selection of toppings and sauces that are all included. It is all fresh and the place is clean. They were super good and filling. I look forward to our next visit. read more

I would not recommend this place at all, the service was terrible, the food was old, and I had an overall bad experience. The portions were not proportional to the price, the rice was dry as if it had been sitting out for hours and the chicken was overcooked. I went around lunchtime so there was no reason as to why the rice was dry and the food did not taste good. read more

Fresh food served fast. You can sit down but it looks like most folks get takeout. Good for a quick lunch.

The service was great! Ordered the greens and grains falafel bowl. They were out of falafel so after a short wait we got it hot and fresh. The employee even brought it out to our table. Food was delicious. The hot honey harissa was super good though not really as spicy as I hoped. My only complaints are the dining area was a little dirty and the music was a little loud. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner. There was no one else in the establishment which at first gave me a little pause but I decided to go with it anyway. The space was clean and well lit. The service was great and the two individuals behind the counter were very polite and helpful. I got my bowl to go and was on my way. I ordered a rainbow veggie bowl with chicken and it was absolutely amazing. My veggies were fresh and chopped perfectly. It had just the right amount of sauce on it without being too weighed down. I definitely made the right choice for dinner that night. read more

This place is super delicious it's kind of like cava which is a large chain but this I feel like is way better. They give you a really good side pita and the quality of the chicken in the zaatar chicken bowl was really good. There is plenty of seating and the decorations are pretty nice as well. The server here was also one of the most friendly restaurant employees ever. Would definitely recommend coming read more

Not my favorite, but I can see why others like it. Lots of options and variety. Just think there are other places that have better, more flavorful options. read more

Fast and friendly service. My daughter and I had the Greek salad bowl with chicken. Absolutely delicious, However the chicken could've used more spice. The salad came with a perfect little pita. Filling and delicious! read more

I always look forward to stopping by this Roti location, and a big part of that is because of Monet, Deanna, and the weekday lunch crew! Monet is consistently bubbly and welcoming--not just to me, but to every customer who walks through the door. I really appreciate that Monet and Deanna remember my go-to order and always greets me with a genuine smile. It's clear they truly enjoy what they do and take pride in making customers feel valued. The chef and the rest of the team who work during the busy lunch rush are equally friendly, patient, and efficient. Of course, the food here is great, but the people are equally great, and they deserve recognition. I highly recommend this location, especially during lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

We walked here while visiting Chicago because it was close to our hotel. The first time was on a whim and the second time was intentional because the food was delicious. We enjoyed the Harissa chicken bowl with lettuce. The hummus and pita was also great for an appetizer. Highly recommend this place for quick Mediterranean food that's also fresh and delicious. read more

This place was good. It's not Indian food as the name implies. It's mediterranean. The place was clean but it's located in a very busy area so it might get a little messed up or chaotic. read more

Think of Roti as the chipotle of Mediterranean food. It's fast, seems healthy, and is delicious. I built my own bowl with saffron rice and half lamb half steak. The saffron rice is delicious and well seasoned. The lamb is shredded and really reminds me of carnitas. The steak is slightly spicy and has the flavor of Barbados. I ordered a side of falafel and you can see whole garbanzo beans inside. The outside is crunchy and the inside is super flavorful and delicious! read more

Great quality and quantity for fresh ingredients. Only complaint was some parts of spicy chicken a little overcooked. I absolutely loved the organic tea and lemonade so refreshing I got two refills wanted a gallon of them. The pita bread was warm fluffy delicious. The rice was divine I couldn't finish the entire bowl. The staff were friendly and move quickly without making you feel rushed. The restaurant was clean sanitary they also had a restroom available. read more

Roti was a pleasant surprise on our trip to Chicago. We wanted something light for lunch and the selection of bowls and pitas was perfectly suited to what we wanted. Everything was made fresh to order and the spices were plentiful without overwhelming the dish. The chicken and tahini sandwich is one of the specials and is a great choice if you're not sure what you want. Recommended. read more

Got the Sweet Potato Harvest bowl on a weekday at 6:30pm and unfortunately couldn't finish it. The sweet potatoes were overcooked and hard to the point they lost all sweet potato flavor and texture, more like tofu. There was a heaping portion of sauce added that was a hot level of spice, completely overwhelming the dish. But it was necessary to eat since the rest of the dish had little flavor. The rice, yogurt and remaining components were fine. read more

I had a Mediterranean salad with a great combo of fresh ingredients and a large portion for a reasonable price.

Soooooo goood! Craving it now but sadly not available in LA! Even my mother who is super picky ("basic b" when it comes to food haha) enjoyed the cauliflower rice + lemon kale + salmon skewer + pita as a meal ordered as side separate items. I chose a create your own bowl w/: - rice - chicken - tomato cucumber - black lentil - lemon kale - carrots - hummus - feta - pickled onions - crispy chickpeas - sunflower seeds It was bursting with flavor even without the sauces (which I asked for all on the side; garlic seemed mixed with yogurt but good didn't expect that FYI)!! Hoping one day this comes to my city but if not, I'll def be back next time I'm in Chi-town!!! Healthy, delicious, great value! read more

Nice concept. But not so great food. I got a falafel rice bowl but the rice seemed a bit stale. read more

Delicious and very good service. prices are reasonable good music and a clean restaurant.

Big fan of their falafel and hummus! It's a chipotle style pick and choose what you want in a bowl or pita with a base of rice or greens. Had a variety of different fresh veggies and toppings and several sauce options. The bowls came with a side of pita which was nice! Service was super fast, and they have option for pick up as well. Will definitely be coming back read more

Roti gives off Chipotle vibes, and I am here for it! This place is great if you're craving some quick, delicious Mediterranean food. This place allows you to pick pre-made bowls, or you can make your own. All the ingredients that they have are really fresh, and they are so flavorful! The staff is friendly and efficient, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're craving something quick. read more

I am doubtful that I will ever have a complaint about Roti! The food is absolutely incredible - obviously very high quality ingredients. I used to live right around the corner, so I went to this location countless times. They have an excellent rewards program and a seamless pickup system if you want to preorder and pick it up! The hummus is absolutely to die for. I've been to similar restaurant chains in the city and nothing comes close to their hummus. Everything is extremely fresh and tastes just as great as leftovers. They'll occasionally give you promotions and rewards on the app which is always a happy surprise! I have also gotten it delivered a few times and they're always so fast and efficient with delivery. Some restaurants tend to skimp out on ingredients when it's delivery or pickup, but I can confidently say there is no difference in quality and care getting it in person versus online. I cannot wait until the next time I can go to Roti! read more

I usually love this place no matter the location. Great flavors... ...Was about to choose my usual salmon kebab until I looked upon the two 'aged' sticks of street meat left dying a second death in the pan. They didn't even resemble salmon anymore. Aborted that mission. Asked the gentleman about the difference between the two choices of fowl. I thought he was going to talk flavors, nah, instead he said "this one is white meat, this one is dark meat, like thighs"... Now, I don't do dark meat. Aht Aht, miss me with the, "But Kamal, dark meat is so much juicier." I don't care. I have this notion that massah kept the 'white meat' from the slaves, throwing them the 'dark meat' scraps, so I'll power thru a dry azz'd breast for my Ancestors any day. Plus, did you know chickens can only fly about 10 feet in the air and for only about 5 or 6 seconds? But, they can run pretty fast and spend most of their time on their feet...hmmm sounds like the legs and thighs do all the work while the 'upper parts' fetch a higher price. But I digress...I order the 'white meat' anyway. So I get to the part where I order my sauce and they're out of the green sauce. How Sway? Ugh. I sit down to eat, bite into the 'white meat' and it's drier than a perm at a pool party. And no, not dry because it was 'white meat' but dry because it was OLD. Like OLD OLD. I wouldn't be surprised if it was yesterday's poultry. Went back to the counter, exchanged it for the 'dark meat' that had just come off the grill. Even showed the employee the white meat I scooped out before throwing it away while he watched so he'd know I wasn't just "another customer trying to get something for free." Perception is reality. read more

This is the best Roti location! There's never a long line and the workers stuff your bowl full! Definitely download the app since that has coupons and deals every so often. I always get the harrisa chicken bowl with pretty much all of the toppings. The best part is stuff like avocado hummus isn't extra! Definitely pop in here if you're in the loop and hungry! read more

Delicious Mediterranean Food!! I had a chicken bowl with a side of humnas. Great food for a great price. read more

The sides are a meal in themselves. For 50 cents you can order extra pitas. I ordered the Alvarado humus and yogurt. They also have outstanding purple cabbage as a side dish. Everything pictured was just a little over $10 and it covered multiple meals. read more
