These morons suddenly decided it'd be smart to dump all of the side sauces you order into the bowl, completely ruining it. I just ordered from Uber eats and added a note specifically asking that they do not dump the sauces in the bowl and leave them in side plastic cups like they always have in the past. Apparently that is just too much to ask from these geniuses and they dumped all of the sauce in the bowl anyway. Just an utter lack of common sense. I can't speak for all Roti's but this one in particular is garbage. Do not ever go here, unless you like all of your side sauces mixed into the bowl with no control over the quantity. Barf. read more

Excellent Medley Salad. This is a perfect salad, fresh vegetables, chicken and nicely seasoned.

I stopped going to roti for a while because their portions were such a rip off for what you pay for. But this location opened up near my office and I wanted to give it a shot again. And it was really good. The portions were decent again. However here's another example of a company/restaurant trying to make a good impression on their customers and then once they get loyal customers they try to rip you off. I just came back from roti furious. There's literally only 4 pieces of chicken and I paid $10 for it. I'm so sick of these rich greedy cheap establishments. I'm done with this place. See the picture for proof. read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food is good as it usually is. This review is regarding a particular employee (one who initially takes orders, didn't catch name unfortunately), who looked extremely irritated, tossing and slapping food on plates, and glaring at customers. She eventually asked me for my topping choices, and within a second walked away without a second word or look. This occurred around 1:15 on 9/11/19, and was not isolated to me. People have bad days all the time, but please don't bring that negative nonsense to your work and throw it on others. read more

Decent place to go if you want a fast casual Mediterranean place. The options you get here are good although I do have to say the food is a little dry. If you ask for olive oil and drizzle it on top, it makes it much better. People are friendly and all but sometimes you do get unwanted visitors in the restaurant. read more

This is good hummus! I'm picky about my Middle Eastern food, but this is delicious. It reminded me of how we are traveling to places in Jerusalem, Haifa and Nazareth. Lots of chopped salads with all kinds of fresh veggies in a citrus dressing. Their roasted broccoli was my favorite. The falafel had great flavor though the texture was soft. I didn't try the meat but I'll come back after Lent. The location, friendly service and cleanliness were all a bonus! Prices compared to Chipotle. read more

got a bowl. ate it all. delicious. every. last. morsel. affordable, filling. For $13, it's really good, given the price of food these days. totally recommend. the falafel is gluten-free, super delicious. read more

This a small, easy place for a quick Mediterranean bite. I've only been here once but had a good experience. Ordering was super fast and I loved the selection of sauces/dressing they had. The portion is a good size for sharing. The rice and chicken were very flavorful and I was left feeling full but not unhealthy or gross (which is a difficult balance to achieve). No complaints! read more

I went during their opening. should give them the benefit of the doubt considering this, however, the rice was cold and crunchy and some bits of the veggies were browning. I love the flavor of the chicken. especially with the red pepper sauce. the chicken and the couscous are amazing. read more

See all

I am not big on Mediterranean cuisine but the way they make it, definitely enjoyed my taste buds! :)

When I went in to find out they no longer serve couscous I left. That is what I liked about Roti now it is the same as any other restaurant that you go into and choose your selections. Not ever going back. Your couscous kept me coming in. read more

I visit lake and Michigan daily and my experience has been amazing. Luis Rubio and his team are always about great costumer experience, and they are doing an amazing job at it!! Not only does #Roti has food that loves me back BUT THEY ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCE THAT LOVES ME BACK !!! I have enough trust in Luis's team that I always recommend my friends and my own clients to visit Roti @ Lake & Michigan and they always have nothing but positive feed back . THANK YOU ROTI FOR MY AMAZING EXPERIENCE ! read more

Stumbled across this place as an option for a quick and easy lunch that we could order and pick up. We ordered a chicken roti sandwich and a chicken kebob sandwich; both were quite large and absolutely delicious. There were several options for extra stuff to add to each one (for no additional charge)-- the lemon oregano pickles and dill cucumber sauce were both amazing. Of the two, I preferred the laffa wrap over the pita pocket option, but both were great. And don't cheat yourself; pitch for the piece of baklava for $1.35 -- you will not regret it! read more

I got the falafel rice plate with all the toppings. It was so so delicious and very filling. I hope I have the opportunity to go again!

Visited with my wifE as per of our honeymoon in Chicago, and this was AMAZING!!! The chicken kabob was fantastic, and the flavors are strong. If you love all things Mediterranean, or want to try for the first time, do yourself a favor and stop by for a vi read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Modern place, great staff, easy to read menu, delicious food. Falafel is awesome! I was craving another one after I left.

Ordered catering for a family event for an 11:30 pickup today. I show up at 11:40 in a rush and am asked to wait for 10 minutes just to be told that my prepaid pickup order was given to grub hub. I was told that they were trying to call grub hub to see if they could bring my food back after lord knows how long they've had it. That's definitely not safe or professional. I ended up being 30 minutes late to my event that I was hosting because I had to wait for them to remake everything. No credit no refund no discount offered. Very disappointing and stressful considering the order was about $200. Horrible customer service read more

Food was fresh and healthy and delicious! I got a plate with half/half kale salad and rice. Staff was friendly and very helpful!

Good Food but they got rid of cilantro and the wrap. Bad ideas. Pricing jacked up since Covid but inspite of all this still not a bad place for a good meal but you will have to pay hefty for it. Enjoy! read more

Great spot if you are looking for a tasty, but pretty heathy, quick meal. My go to is the rice dish which has never steered me wrong, but the salad has also looked good. I would definitely recommend trying the garlic sauce as well as the hotter sauces. The place can get pretty busy being so close to apartments, the park, and businesses. So, it is a great idea to order ahead online rather than waiting once you get there. read more

Delicious, fresh, healthy food when you are on the go and don't have a lot of time to eat. I had a plate and everything was delicious.

Not from the area but visit pretty frequently. Anyways, placed the order through Yelp and was pretty quick yet correct order. Took the salad with falafels and I'm usually very disappointed by falafels when I'm traveling but they were amazing. There are a lot of toppings to choose from, which was nice. Also, the place looked very clean as well as very nice employees. read more

I was initially skeptical of this place. Roti is a type of Indian bread, and Indian cuisine is far removed from Mediterranean food, so it seemed that there was come cultural and geographic confusion in the name. But...the food is quite good. What distinguishes Roti from other "make your own bowl" type places is that the ingredients are much tastier and fresher. The vegetable toppings and sauces, in particular, were very flavorful and I got almost all of them (they don't limit the veggie toppings, just the protein choice). Service was fast and friendly both days that I went (both on the weekend) and the place is clean, in an excellent location (close to Michigan Ave). read more

I ordered Grub Hun delivery to my hotel room and it arrived on time, and correct. The food quality was great and delicious. A much healthier alternative to all the pizza, hotdogs and burgers I had been eating on my trip to Chicago read more

Today was my second time coming to Roti, and I suggested it for lunch with my group of friends. I really enjoyed Roti my first time, and the second time was also just as good. For 9 dollars, you can get a chicken roti, or chicken kebob (or both, which is what I did). The chicken is well flavored, and tastes delicious. I do wish that they do give a bit more rice, but nonetheless I was still full and satisfied by the end of the meal. I got all of the sides they offer, such as hummus, tomatoes and cucumbers, vegetable slaw, and some others. If you want quick and personalized Mediterranean food, I would always suggest Roti! I did have a bad stomachache after...but I'm not sure if that was the Roti or not... read more

Recently moved to Chicago, Roti Modern Mediterranean on Lake was our first sit down meal in the city. I ordered the Chicken Roti, the sandwich was huge, perfectly seasoned, and amazingly delish!! ALL the staff were extremely friendly, and all about customer service, and satisfaction! I've worked with the public my entire life, and I can say, their service highly impressed me. We STRONGLY recommend this place, and I guarantee you, we will be back!! read more

For a while I'd been off Roti, not really due to any issues with the food but because I worked at a place where this was constantly on order, which tends to run anything into the ground. I stopped by this relatively new location on Lake Street, by the Mila apartments, the other day as it was an odd time (between lunch and dinner) and I knew that the crowds of workers would have thinned out by then. This is an assembly line style restaruant with a variety of bases and meats/falafel available from with to choose. I went with the mixed greens and the chicken kabob. It seems like Roti has gone through somewhat of a renaissance, as I could pick as many toppings and sauces as I'd like, free of charge, as I moved down the line. My favorites were the cucumber/feta salad (yes, I know I could make this at home, but sometimes ease and convenience win out). I am also a fan of the large pearl couscous salad. With all of these add ons, I had enough for leftovers. It was a tasty, yet healthy meal that didn't leave me feeling weighed down. read more

Very convenient location, and clean restaurant for a workday lunch. Delicious with healthy ingredients.

Good place for a quick salad. I made a bowl with fresh asparagus, falafel, tahini sauce and yogurt cucumber, mixed veggies, eggplant mix and of course hummus. It came with a pita bread on the side. Was very filling and tasty. The customer service was really good as well. read more

Quick, fresh, great portions and lots of flavor!! Healthy lunch option for travelers and locals alike.

Love this Roti! Came here when I was downtown one day. All Rotis taste the same, like all chipotles do, so that's good. I got the chicken roti rice place and it hit the spot for sure! Love the pita bread that comes with it (for free)! read more

Very filling with awesome vegan options. The falafel is not dry like most places and the vegetable add ons are great nutrition. Also thumbs up for 100% grass-fed and pasture raised beef. read more

I just stopped in there for lunch for first time. SO GOOD! Flavors are fresh n amazing. Very unique place. You can order a salad,wrap or a bowl and then you pick your toppings (like chipotle style). My new favorite place! read more

Be careful in this location. Pickpockets are working it - and I didn't feel the concern when I reported it. Lunch is not the only thing to be aware of in this spot. Lots of "quick" hands in here - and not just on the lunch line. read more

This is a new location off of Michigan Ave. I had my favorite The Steak Roti and it was fully loaded! It opens 10/20.

This place was delish! Great portions with good prices. If your looking to eat Mediterranean food his is the place! The service was great and the food better. Will definitely be back! read more

10/14/2018 about 6:15 pm I am writing this review because Me and my wife come here all the time either nights or the weekend and I really love the service. One worker named Tatiana is always most helpful on Sundays this particular night she seemed bothered by a customer. I've never seen her upset at all she is always plesent along with the young lady (I believe her name is Natasha) (another worker) it is sad when customers are rude to such awesome workers please ladies continue to do a great job with such satisfying service!! read more

Roti is a great place to eat. The atmosphere is positive. The workers are very pleasant and energetic. I asked a lot of questions about the food and the workers are knowledgeable of the menu. I recommend Roti. 5 stars for sure. read more

That's It For Roti Started going to basically 2 locations in the Loop. One on Dearborn and the other on Lake st. I like the food, but many times preparation leaves much to be desired. Rice sometimes can be undercooked ...falafel sometimes look like its been laying there for awhile. Whole area where food is prepared can look like a mess. All this can be overlooked if staff is friendly and welcoming....and this is my main complaint, Seems like these locations are understaffed.....so waits can be long. People that work there seem sullen and not very friendly. I visited the location on Lake St this evening. Only two guys working so again long wait . When he finally got to me and started my order...he recognized the person behind me and stopped with my plate and asked her what she wanted. He then proceeded to prepare her plate and told me to wait. This was a definite no no. Too many places to get a meal in the loop to have to put up with this. Left and got a burrito . Oh well. read more

I go here in the evening for dinner sometimes. I've been here several times and most of the time it's good. A few times the rice was hard and crunchy and chicken dried out as though the food had been out for hours. Tonight they ran out of bread and the chicken was too salty. The homemade bread is one of the reasons I come here. The hummus is no better than store bought hummus. I wish the food was more consistent from visit to visit. read more
