To be 100% and full transparency... I have Chipotle nearly everyday (that is how much I love it) and if it were to come between Chipotle & Roti, I'd choose Roti 9 out of 10 times. It so good and refreshing and I don't feel horrible about myself afterwards. The reason I tried it was because someone compared it to Chipotle, so I gave it a try & fell in love. You can tell by the size of my bowl I was not playing around and loved basically everything on their menu. I would recommend one specific thing but everything I have tried hits the spot. So you won't go wrong with giving anything a try. If you've never been to Roti, you're missing out and I highly recommend. The staff were friendly as well, good vibes and seemed not to be stingy when it came to the sides I wanted. Even though it was a bit pricey for one bowl... Thank you Roti, see you soon! Personal Review: 8.9/10

Build your own Gluten-free Pita
Heather B.

For $33 I can't believe this is essentially what I got delivered. This meal itself was $18. I was expecting to be blown away and that's how it was? No: I'll never order from here again.

Never a disappointing Roti experience... Fresh! Flavorful!! Fulfilling!!! This place is F'reaking Awesome! I highly recommend this highly customizable Mediterranian Bowl.

Custom Build Your Own Bowl
Micah K.

For a "fast casual" place, Roti has some of the best food you can hope for. I have been visiting various locations around the city for years but this one has been my recent favorite! Fresh, "clean" ingredients, a wide variety of flavors and unlimited ingredients at no additional cost make this a great value! Overall, this is a fantastic place for lunch or dinner anytime you want some delicious, somewhat clean food. Highly recommended

Build Your Own Bowl
Rachel C.

Got a build-your-own bowl through doordash and was a disappointed. I'm from California and thought that Roti would be a great alternative to Kava. I ordered the spicy beef on top of jasmine rice and a bunch of toppings. I love green shug and garlic sauce and ordered it in my bowl but did not find ANY of those two sauces in here! Only found the red pepper sauce and tahini, which left my bowl a bit drier than I had wanted. My boyfriend ordered a salmon yogurt bowl and his salad was not very fresh. Note that a yogurt bowl is mostly salad on top of lots of tzatziki.

Hands down the best Roti in the city! Fresh ingredients, healthy food, good ambience, and friendly staff. I cannot believe that I finished the whole bowl! Will have to fast tomorrow.

Roti bowl with chili cauliflower and goodies with a pita and drink
Tammy S.

I wanted something quick and healthy, so Roti was it, and I didn't go wrong here. I ordered a bowl with the chili cauliflower and chose all my favorites to add into the mix. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth. There are so many choices including gluten-free and vegan. This is a fast casual spot to please anyone. The pita was warm and puffy, which was a wonderful addition to my bowl. I enjoyed sitting outside to eat though I couldn't finish my entire bowl as it is a lot of food. I will add it to my places to go when I'm in town after a morning of shopping!

Make-your-own rice bowl with falafel (vegan)
Matt B.

Good spot for make-your-own rice bowls, wraps and salads that are vegan-friendly. After arriving on an evening flight, we scrambled around looking for a quick bite to eat and found this place. We each got a make-your-own rice bowl (about $11 plus tax), with falafel (as the protein), an assortment of veggies you can choose, some toppings, and sauce. Simple but reasonably fresh, filling, healthy-ish, and well-priced. Did the trick.

The food was absolutely delicious and I particularly loved the Shami and Koubidehs. The koubidehs were so tender and juicy. The service was phenomenal and they even brought us some tea and dessert (bamieh) for free. Kabobi is open late and was the perfect spot to chat while the rain died down.

I arrived 25 minutes later and they hadn't even made my order. From there, 3 different people told me it'll be another 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. I ended up waiting 20 minutes and during that whole time there was no apology. One of the workers handed me a tea and later I saw they included dessert in the bag. It was a nice gesture but I was frustrated that it wasn't acknowledged by the staff at all and part of my order was still missing. I paid $2.25 for a Yogurt & Cucumber Sauce which I never received. The Caspian Mix Grill with Albaloo Polo was very good. The filet mignon & chicken breast were both juicy and well-seasoned. The Albaloo Polo is plain basmati rice mixed with saffron, caramelized onion and sauteed sweet & sour cherries. I liked the rice but it felt like they just threw the cherries on top rather than incorporate it into the rice. It was very filling, enough to share with 2 people, and good value. The Bamieh & Balava were also fresh, sweet, and a nice bite to end on. Ultimately, I would give the food a 4/5 and the service a 2/5, hence my 3/5 rating.

The staff is warm and welcoming, and we were seated quickly upon arriving. Love the ambiance! It is very cozy and inviting. We were served a complimentary appetizer: pita bread strips, pickled veggies, and what I believe to be an eggplant dip. We also ordered the Bawadi wing appetizer. It was delicious, and those wings! It came with a sauce, but I cannot comment on that because none of us tried it. The wings by themselves are delicious! My friends both ordered the lamb chops, and I ordered the Al Bawadi mixed grill with hummus and bread. Everything was good, and the portions are generous. The meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned well. We all enjoyed our meals. We plan on coming back in the Fall to celebrate another birthday. This is definitely a neighborhood staple and will come back with family.

We ordered two sandwiches. A Chicken shawarma and meat shawarma. Both were fantastic and came with a lot of fries. Overall a very filling dish and a great option for a quick meal.

I remember seeing an Avec in River North, but my office was near West Loop so that made this location more convenient. I made a reservation for myself as I wasn't sure how busy the place got. Hospitality was great right off the bat. My reservation was for 5:30pm, but I arrived early and was offered a seat at the bar immediately. My hostess asked if I wanted to have my jacket held at coat check, which I was much obliged to maximize my space at the intimate bar. I got a Last Frontier, a gin-based cocktail that was sweet, slightly tart and refreshing. It was well crafted and hit the spot. I loved their Potato and Salted Cod Brandade. Talk about stick to your ribs! The brandade's warmth, thick texture, and rich flavor made the dip oh so comforting. Perfect for the blustery weather. I'll be back to try other popular items from the menu!

Nothing really went together and it was warm, which didn't make sense and made it worse. The steak was cooked how I asked, but the sauce was extremely oily and had this strange burnt flavor which likely was from the onions? The onions were extremely burnt, nothing like a typical caramelized delish onion. The chicken had the same issue, everything had that same burnt tasting oil and the chilies sitting in it just made it more intense. It was honestly just edible and nothing I would come back for or recommend. I love middle eastern food and know that even with a midwestern there are some considerations to take with the flavor profile but the burnt onions, burnt spicy oil in the chicken, and a warm salad are all indications for poor execution. As for the actual ambiance and experience it was my birthday and there was no acknowledgment at all not even someone to check in on whether the food was okay. I did not want to order a dessert after the salad, steak, and shawarma all missing the mark. The seating was very uncomfortable. It is cramped and communal and at this price point I expected a much better experience. Will admit I should have looked into the actual dining set up before booking a late night reservation but even still there are so many better places in Chicago where you can get better food and actually feel comfortable. Overall it just was not worth it. I would not return or recommend this spot.
