    Mezze protein bowl
    Clarissa C.

    Mediterranean chipotle!! I got the mezze protein bowl that came with every type of protein and falafel (besides salmon). Definitely a better deal than a single protein bowl. So yummy! Very refreshing! But ask for sauce on the side so it doesn't drown out the rest of the dish.

    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.

    Harissa chicken Build Your Own Bowl
    Taylor S.

    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!

    Salad
    Charlene S.

    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.

We arrived 20 minutes before our scheduled reservation, but we were seated within five minutes of arriving. The server, David, greeted us promptly when we were seated. He mentioned that if you're ordering appetizers, they should be ordered with the main meal. While we looked over the menu, water was offered. I ordered Blackened Catfish over brown rice and carrots. The catfish was tender and perfectly seasoned. My brother had grilled flounder with creamed corn. Like the catfish, the trout was tender and well-seasoned. The corn had a slight sweetness. Roger had Short ribs and mashed potatoes. The ribs were tender and did not need any sauce because they were seasoned well. We also ordered a side dish of Macaroni and Cheese. It was delicious! A mixture of Gouda cheese and other cheeses. Very creamy! The top layer cheese was baked perfectly! If you know, you know, it's all about the top layer of cheese The APPETIZERS: The Gumbo was spicy but delicious! You only taste the spice at the end . It's not overly spicy; it's just right. The fried chicken gizzards were tender but could have used a bit more seasoning. It was served over brown rice and gravy. If I'm not mistaken, there were maybe 8 or 9 gizzards. The fried green tomatoes were perfect! From the seasoning to the grilled shrimp on top. Oh yes, grilled shrimp with this delicious sauce drizzled over the tomatoes. 3 or 4 shrimp. They were delicious! I've never had fried green tomatoes served w/grilled shrimp--definitely a must-try if you've never had it. For dessert, pineapple upside-down cake with coconut cream on the side. It was soooo good! They could have removed the coconut cream, as it was not needed. And it was a shareable portion for 2-3 ppl. There were other desserts, such as Blueberry Cobbler, Key Lime Pie, and Vanilla Ice Cream. If you're in the Hyde Park area, give these folks a try Oh yeah, the Manager, Louis, was walking the floor. I spoke with him briefly From what I observed, it's a very casual dress code--jeans, shorts, blazers, etc. And I loved the quotes on the outside window of those who were killed, like George Floyd and Sandra Bland. This place was nice! The dining area was clean and decorated nicely. The choice of decor fit the overall scheme I look forward to visiting again, possibly next Spring.
