    Skirt Steak & Brussels Bowl and Za'atar Chicken Bowl
    Jocelyn H.

    I love Mediterranean food and Roti is a fast-casual restaurant that will satisfy my cravings. We got the skirt steak & brussels bowl and the za'atar chicken bowl. Their rice and hummus are solid, and the chicken and steak were both great. The bowls came with pita bread but the bread was a little stale. The staff was very nice and accommodating for nut allergies (no nuts!). For a fast-casual restaurant, though, the prices are really high.

    A tastier and healthier alternative to chipotle! They have a similar setup where you can build a custom bowl or order a premade one. I went with the custom option and got harissa chicken. You get unlimited sides and sauces, all of which are delicious! And their sauces were so creative, I got the spicy feta and avocado tahini. The portion of meat is definitely smaller than I expected but overall the bowl was a really filling meal. Would definitely come back!

    I ordered a Roti custom bowl, pita w/ avocado hummus, and falafel through DoorDash. Unfortunately pretty much none of the toppings I requested were added. I'm assuming this wouldn't be an issue if I had ordered in store so hopefully your experience will be better than mine. Nonetheless, the food was good, it just lacked the pizazz the sides and toppings I requested would have added.

    Roti Modern Mediterranean is a chain of fast casual, build-your-own-bowl restaurants with Israeli-inspired flavors. My salad bowl came with a base of lettuce, kale, and mixed greens, topped with chili tahini cauliflower and falafels, which were soft, slightly gooey, and (uniquely) contained whole chickpeas. There were plenty of fresh sides to top off the bowl, including shredded carrots, rainbow slaw (made of Brussels sprouts, kale, red cabbage, carrots, and more), cucumber/tomato salad, beets, black lentils, golden tomatoes, and pickled onions, as well as crispy chickpeas and pita chips for a crunchy finish. On the side, I also got the hummus dip, the herbaceous spicy green s'hug, and the sweet and spicy red s'hug, which all had great flavors and a nice kick! I also got their white pita bread, which was soft, fluffy, chewy, and perfect for eating with the hummus and falafels.

    This is exactly what you want when you're looking for a quick and healthy, mindful meal! Vegan friendly and absolutely delicious! My go to is the "build your rice bowl" with a ton of delicious veggies toppings, falafel, tahini, and red s'hug. You simply can't go wrong here!!

    Wow! I love a fast casual concept! Roti sure hit the spot. For the price and quality, this place is never a bad idea! I got the falafel bowl w/ mixed greens. For $10, I had a TON OF FOOD! The toppings were limitless and they even threw in some fresh pita bread! Their hummus is absolutely delicious and the falafel was full of crunch and flavor. You can't go wrong with any of the toppings (since I tried them all) but the cabbage, olives and cucumber salad had to be my favorites! The staff was extremely friendly and safety precautions were enforced! I felt safe receiving my food from here. Certainly check them out!

    Best fast casual Mediterranean restaurant, much better than Cava. I frequent another Roti location usually, but when I was in Hyde Park, stopped by for a quick bowl after ordering online. By now, I've tried most of the protein options, and I particularly enjoy the salad with chicken roti, hummus, veggies, cous cous, feta, pickled onions, and red s'hug as the dressing. Love how flavorful, filling, and fresh everything is.

    Salmon Roti Bowl
    Nicole P.

    Soooooo yummy The salmon was season to perfection and the bowls were packed with flavor that taste so good I forgot I was eating cauliflower rice!!!! I'm full, happy, and healthy, my new favorite spot!!!

    Pita bread
    L B.

    Hyde Park location: I ordered salmon yogurt bowl and salmon green goodness via Uber Eats. Neither meal had salmon, and one of the meals had dry chicken. When I called, the person told me that they didn't have salmon. Apparently, they were too busy to call and ask if I wanted to change or cancel my order. When I questioned them about being charged for something I did not receive, I was told to come to the store for my refund. Really? at 8pm?  Why couldn't they refund the Uber order electronically, the same way I paid for it?! I WILL NOT ORDER FROM THEM EVER AGAIN. Very disappointed. The pita bread pictured below was so hard I can use it as a frisbee. And I paid $60. Do better Roti!

    Don't waste your money, go next door to chipotle instead. The meat on the rice plate I purchased was dried out and the yogurt was sour.

There's even a community board towards the bathroom, which gives this spot a community-based vibe. It's a quick, casual spot with several tables open for grabs when people leave. I got a traditional everything bagel w cream cheese to start the day, which had the RIGHT amt of cream cheese. Sometimes places give wayy too much, ruining the exp. I also ordered their popular Sumac Chicken sandwich on their Dutch Crunch bread, which was really good!! The bread had a slight sweetness to it that was satisfying and the flavors altogether were soo yummy. I waited ~12 min for my order, since they were rightfully packed. No outside food/drinks allowed if you're grabbing a table to eat. There's WiFi and a restroom in the back. Lots of neighborhood regulars.

It had homemade croutons and sides of bread. Got a slice of the carrot cake and it was very moist. Not too sweet with cream cheese frosting. Raisins included, if that matters to you. We got the garlic chicken on French baguette. It was a creamy base and not something I would buy again. Glad we added cheese because there wasn't much to it. the other sandwich we bought was avocado turkey on Dutch crunch. It unfortunately had enough mayo to drown the restaurant. The amount of meat left much to be desired. We asked for chips which they had but only for online orders that came in. ??? Doesn't make sense to me. For 2 Sammie's, a salad and cake it was $45, just for a gauge of prices. The cashier was on the phone the entire time and couldn't hear what we said because of that. Kinda acted inconvenienced we were talking while he was on the phone. The restaurant is pretty chill and seemed like a workspace for people with art on the walls for sale. The art also had a thick layer of dust, and overall the dining room could use a good deep clean. The bathroom cleanliness was decent. This probably won't be another place I would seek out in the future.

I want to have the pasta, but this is meant to be shared amongst the table, not devoured by one person, but I digress. I walked in during what ended up being brunch, and while the regular menu was not technically available, the bar-server offered to ask the kitchen if I wanted something specific. That something was the Tuna Tartare, which the kitchen obliged (thank you very much). While a simple dish, it was executed supremely well. The olive oil was of such quality and robust flavor I asked the kitchen what brand they use, the avocado was at the peak of ripeness, and the house-made chips were oozing with homemade perfection. The fish was of high quality, and the ginger-orange gelatine added a subtle flavor and texture which was very unique, both as a flavor, but more so in execution! Now, to be fair, while this was not my favorite iteration of this dish, it doesn't take away from the quality and precision of execution. As my main, I ordered the Basil Pesto Brunch Gnocchi. The sauce was, true to form, very earthy, creamy, and basil-y without being overpowering. The gnocchi themselves were soft and pillowy, some of the best I'd had! The accoutrements of egg, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms helped add new dimensions to the dish, adding those lightly meaty, acidic, and generally umami notes. The pork belly, meanwhile, was lost on me. Coming back to this review, I was frankly surprised they were included! Maybe this is me showing why I can't hack it as a professional, paid, restaurant critic, or maybe they were in fact, omitted. An area where Ascione Bistro shines is the service. The bar-server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out reasonably fast, especially since I could see into their kitchen, the pace of which reminds me of The Bear (don't worry, no yelling or profanity could be heard). Final verdict: Ascione appears to be a very busy spot, and for good reason. They have well executed, unique, and flavorful dishes, complemented by great service. If we pretend me not picking up on the pork belly is a 'me' issue, then the experience was flawless... except that I should have found more people to come with me, as the gnocchi loaded me with carbs, and I ended up taking half-ish home.

The local area is very busy and the police presence is very obvious, so keep that in mind, but I'm glad I made the decision. The Hostess seated me immediately and took my drink order right away. My Server, Gaby, was quick and attentive so my Wedge Salad and Grilled Octopus was delivered to my table in record time considering how busy it was. The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and flavored and the wedge was amazing. The only issue was that the wedge salad was so big I couldn't even finish it. To end the night I had a glass of Barolo and a slice of the "made-in-house" key lime pie. It was great and paired perfectly to complete the meal. I can definitely recommend Ascione's for a night out for dinner or a date night. It's not terribly loud and it's a relaxed vibe. I would also ask for Gaby, she is a great Server.

It's a Portuguese food, and when I was in Portugal I could get one for LESS than a Euro dollar, an not as if it's imported. But it's a nice little indulgence that doesn't make one feel too guilty.
