    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

They played good music and wasn't too loud. You could easily carry on a conversation or , like me, continue listening to a podcast. By the time I finished, the place was completely full and a bit noisy, but not bad. I started out with a 10oz Birds of Prey Pilsner. It was very nice. Light and crisp and very easy to drink. I followed that up with Melodious Maibock and ordered the CBG burger with fries. I didn't have lunch so I dove right in and forgot to snap a photo. It was a very good smash burger. It was cooked well and I really liked the combination of pickled onion and caramelized onion. I didn't see it until later but you can add bacon. As much as I loved this burger, bacon would totally take it up a notch! I started chatting with the bartender about their different beers and decided to have the Super Melodious Jalapeño Maibock with the burger. It's soooo different, but in a good way. It paired so well with the burger. You get green bell pepper on the nose and a hint of it on the palate. When you swallow you get a little heat at the back of the throat. It was so good! Great bar. Great food. Great beer. Go check them out!

My son had a crispy chicken sandwich which he devoured and my daughter had a quesadilla which they prepared especially for her without any sauce. Everything was tasty. We had a problem with our order when my daughter found a small piece of plastic wrapper in her food. We told our waiter and he immediately informed management. The manager came over and offered a new plate but my daughter was fine having the current plate. So instead, she comped her meal and gave her a choice of dessert with a gigantic milk. Despite the minor glitch, this place deserves 5 stars for the way they handled this issue. We feel they went above and beyond to remedy the situation. If only all restaurant management were like this. If we are ever in Chicago again, we will be back.
