    Make Build Your Own Bowl
    Ankita P.

    I got the make my own bowl with falafel and since this was my first time ordering here I wanted to try as many of the toppings as possible. I got the fresh beets, curried carrot salad, dill cucumber and black lentils as well as crispy chickpeas, pita crunchies, and roasted golden tomatoes. I would definitely get extra crispy chickpeas next time and maybe skip the roasted tomatoes. I also add pickled onions and feta and olives for extra tanginess. The bowl was overall very flavorful and didn't even need the extra sauces but it lets you pick 3 sauces on Uber eats so I picked the Amba (yummy savory mango sauce), roasted read pepper (also delicious!!) and dill yogurt as I thought I could dip the falafel in the sauces. But unfortunately when my order arrived from Uber eats there was no falafel in my falafel bowl! Lol. Still delicious just disappointing that I didn't get to taste the falafels! It did come with a pita on the side so I was able to dip the pita in the various sauces to try those. Overall would give 3 stars since no falafel but I'm sure just was forgotten and 5 stars for taste and freshness so averaged to 4! I would love to try the falafel though next time I ordered the falafel bowl.

    Funniest workers ever! I think I'm catching feelings!

    The food at this Roti is exactly what you expect and that's what you want from a chain. A hit every time. If you enjoy one Roti location - the same goes for WLOOP location. THE REAL STARS OF THIS ROTI ARE THE WORKERS. Smile and greet you every time you walk in the building. Often times at this west loop location the line is out the door. Nevertheless, the the staff is patient and polite when you get to the counter. If you're feeling silly- Eric and Terrance will crack jokes with ya and STACK your plate. Love a heavy hand. I come to this roti every Wednesday to pick up orders for many of my coworkers. One coworker is as bland as it gets and orders a rice bowl with chicken Roti with a pita and that's it. The lady who prepared the bowl for pick up let me know she added double chicken for free bc it was so plain. The realest!

    Do not eat at this location! I love Roti, but I have been to this location 3 times (2 times dine, 1 time delivery). The meat is extremely old/dry and funky. I have also found hard rock like little things I. My food. Food at Lincoln park and the one by Amtrak (downtown-currently closed) are good. The chicken here hard, dry and a bit funky on 3 different occasions over the last 1-2 years Please avoid this location

    Build your own bowl! Amazingly delicious

    The service here is great! It is friendly, patient, and quick. I've waiting in line no more than 4 minutes when I come to this location. Your food is made right in front of you and there are plenty of protein options to chose from, vegan included. The food here is always fresh and the options are plenty. Unfortunately thee seating is limited, but since it is in a working district a lot of people order out. A great casual-fare work lunch.

    I love Roti!!! I've never had anything here that wasn't good. That's a big deal because I'm very particular and like my made a certain way. You literally can't go wrong here. The staff is so nice and will always give you recommendations if you ask or seem confused. The chicken is always a safe choice and works with literally everything. It's a little small on the inside but that doesn't bother me at all. Come for the service, food, and overall great experience.

    First time trying Roti and it was decent. I opted for the falafel pita sandwich. The sandwich seems small at first but it was really filling. Besides falafel, Roti offers a variety of protein options including chicken kabob, steak, and salmon kabob. As for toppings, I chose hummus, red cabbage slaw (really good!), feta cheese, and tomato & cucumber. You can also ask for any toppings to be on the side in case you don't want them directly in your sandwich. I finished off my sandwich with the garlic sauce. Roti has sooooo many sauce options I wasn't sure which to choose. The garlic sauce was good. I recommend asking for a couple of different sauces on the side so you can try multiple.

    Rice bowl with lamb meatballs
    Kalpana R.

    I'm torn giving 3 stars to this place because Roti's food was the highlight of my Chicago trip, not exaggerating! The quality and quantity of food at the price was amazing! However, even though the food was 5 stars, the service was not even worth 1 star so 3 star seems fair, I guess. I placed the order here online after the lunch rush on a weekday, around 2 pm and was given the wait time of 12 min. (pro tip: download the app and for first time customers, you get $5 off!) I decided to walk to the location from my hotel which took around 15 min and on reaching the restaurant I checked the pre-made food section for my bowl. It wasnt there so I went to the counter and they said they would make my order now, in person, while I was there. It felt weird that what was the whole point of placing the order online and paying then but I was hungry so I repeated my selection again, when at last we reached the protein section and they said that they were out of lamb meatballs and I would have to wait for 15 min to get them. The server said that they can substitute chicken instead and I said no. Now, firstly lamb option as a protein is pricier than the chicken so it wasnt a fair substitution and secondly, since I had already placed and paid for the order online more than 15 min earlier, why couldnt they have had the meatballs ready. I told them I would wait and they told me that they would inform me once the meatballs were ready. I spent the next 20 min browsing my phone and street watching and getting increasingly hungry. After another few min I decided to check if the meatballs were ready or not so I went to the counter. There were different servers who told me that the meatballs were ready 10 min ago! I was pissed that the previous server didnt inform me or bring my food despite me being one of the two customers at the store. Since the current server was a different one, I had to show proof of my payments and order again to them, repeat my whole order again to get a new bowl of food made for me (not sure what happened to the first bowl of food which was made and kept aside waiting for meatballs). I wasnt offered any apology or comp for not having the food available 45+ min after placing the initial order. Since I was starving I decided to not argue and eat the food first. Coming to the food, it was really amazing! Maybe it was because I was really hungry but this was one of the best Mediterranean fusion food I had had. There were so many fresh and incredible tasting ingredients and the bowl looked colorful and was a feast for the eyes as well. This is a chain food store so I'm assuming the quality of food is similar at other locations as well. I would recommend to try out other locations but skip this due to spotty service.

    This is smaller than the other ones I've been too; kind of like an express. Of course I had the Rice Plate with the spicy lamb meatballs.

We bopped in and little to our surprise, it was the best decision we made all day. I got the shawarma bowl with gryo and the garlic sauce fries and wow, everything was to die for. I wish I wasn't just visiting Chicago so this place was more accessible to me everyday. But I fear i'd go broke if this was in my city. This is a great quick lunch option especially if visiting the zoo/park/beach area. Everything felt light, fresh, and healthy. It felt a little pricey for me but it's Chicago so it may be normal so take that as you will but for how delicious and the amazing ingredients it's worth it. Especially that dang pink sauce on the fries....you've got to get the garlic sauce fries if you check this place out. Some of the most beautiful and tasty fries i've ever had! The atmosphere is cute and bright too. A happy place to eat lunch and hang out in! I'm not from Chicago so i'm already missing this place! Add to your "must try" list for sure!

The 1st that plans ahead and gets to places early. And the 2nd that is there for a good time but always gets everywhere late. Those of us that wanted to come early and not worry decided that we wanted to go to a restaurant close by to wait for our tour time and that's how we found Ema. As soon as we walk inside we see how beautiful and modern the interior looks. They had a lot of seating available and we got a nice table by the window with a view We wanted to eat light before the tour so we shared a bunch of small plates. We ordered the mushroom escargot, lemon Caesar, crispy potatoes, a couple orders of hummus and some chicken kebabs. That mushroom escargot was one of my favorite things I ate during the entire Chicago trip. The mushrooms were creamy and rich. It tasted umami, bright from the lemon, slightly spicy from the Calabrian breadcrumbs, and paired perfectly with some warm pita bread on the side. The hummus was smooth and well seasoned. The lemon caesar was fresh and fairly standard. The crispy potatoes were perfectly textured and were soft and pillowy on the inside. As long as they sat on the table they never lost their crisp. The chicken kebabs were tenderly, juicy and garlicky. We were all putting together our perfect bite combinations with the pita bread. Everything we ordered I would actually order again. Though may want to try a different salad next time since the Caesar was pretty simple. Regardless, still no real complaints with the food Our server was charismatic and funny. He had a great attitude and entertained us throughout the meal. Everything came out promptly as well so we made it out and could take our time walking to the riverboats. Lucky for our friends the tour said they'd be docked for a few minutes after our scheduled start time to set everything up. As 3 minutes after our start time we see group 2 sprinting up from a couple blocks away Overall Ema was consistent, flavorful and reliable. Not a bad price point either for what you get. I'd definitely recommend and come back

The froyo itself with no toppings is $1 then any additional topping is $2. They only have strawberry rhubarb and pistachio syrups as toppings though.

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!
