Chicken bowl
Ed D.

Good Mediterranean food. I got the chicken bowl with almost all the ingredients. It was packed and I was full. Ingredients tasted fresh and the taste was good. Price was good. Not much more to say

I really want to start visiting the Roti in Hyde Park more. I haven't been for lunch in a long time. Now that it's warmer out, I'm willing to walk the block or so when at work downtown. I splurged (won a bet for St. Louis) and got the Lamb meatball rice plate. It was a good portion, I had to take some home. The assembly line is such a good idea, since there are so many ingredients to choose from, you need 3 or 4 people to assemble the entree. I wonder if you can order online in advance. That would be a good way to avoid all the noisiness.

I love roti. Come here all the time for lunch break and it's a long line but it moves so fast. You have to know what you want tho because you will feel the pressure from how fast the line is moving. Delicious food and super filling.

I like big balls and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a falafel walks in with an itty bitty ... Ok, I don't know where I was going with that, but my point is I like big balls, falafel balls that is, and this place doesn't have them. Back when I worked over by the Monroe and river location, I used to frequent Roti a lot and had fond memories. My visit today confirmed one, maybe two things: (1) I've become a falafel snob and/or (2) they're at best mediocre. Let's break it down: * Bread - they changed their flatbread somewhere between mt last visit and now; I like the old bread better. * Falafel - damn those balls are scrawny! They also didn't seem to have the same consistency/texture you find at the more authentic Mediterranean establishments. * Toppings - this is one area that has stayed great. Lots of sauce and topping choices for your falafel. * Wrapper - they converted from the easy to tear foil paper to wax paper, grrr. The new wrapper blows, it's awkward to tear since you have to leave it on to hold your sammie together. Multiple times I ended up with a mouthful of wax paper, phooey! * Extras - what happened to the free side of cous cous? * Price - for $6.50 ($7.23 with tax) I expect better quality falafel and something more filling! The prices of some items rival sit down places with table service; $8.50 for a single salmon kebab? Um, wtf?! The new space is nice, better laid out to handle lines unlike the one on Monroe and Canal and service was friendly. To recap: Small balls + overpriced + bites of wax paper = Mary spending her falafel dollars elsewhere. TIP: The flatbread is way better than the pita unless you like wearing your lunch TIP: They have a gluten free menu online and can substitute gluten-free pita for $2 extra.

Chicken Roti Rice Plate!

Roti is my favorite lunch spot in the loop. I go back and forth between the chicken roti rice plate and the mixed green chicken roti - I get all the fixins! Their falafels are good af too.

My build-your-own steak bowl and it was quite fresh, delish, and plentiful! I love the unlimited types of veggie toppings you can add on and omit the unnecessary sauces that can add on calories. I inhaled the whole thing for lunch around 11:30am and I ended up skipping dinner because I was so full. Next time I will only eat half and save it for another meal. My only complaint is that the food is a little on the salty side. I had to drink water every hour to quench my thirst. The reason I don't go to Roti often is because of the price. I spent almost $11 on just lunch and no beverage -- I can get away with spending less than $8 at most build-your-own bowl places or other lunch options in the Loop.

My favorite quick lunch spot in the loop! Everything is fresh, tasty, fast and reasonably priced - what more could you ask for?

Don't skip the Zucchini Fritters, they were beyond amazing. I got the Mushroom Bowl and even though there was no meat, it was surprisingly filling (especially after the workout) and super flavorful. I think about this meal a lot and would come back if I'm in Lincoln Park. Staff were super friendly and service was quick. Overall, great place to stop by for a quick, cheap, and semi-casual meal.

The restaurant itself is cute, not super big but there's a lot of seating. The servers are always friendly and there's always a ton of people working LOL. It was pretty busy for a Friday evening, and I only had to wait for 10 minutes or so for my order to be ready. I got the pork souvlaki skewers as a bowl. I really liked it, I thought the pork was perfectly charred and the toppings were all fresh and went really well with it. The rice was also fluffy and seasoned well, which is usually my biggest critique of bowl meals. Overall, solid option if you want something fast to go or to enjoy in the store.

It was well balanced and perfect. My boyfriend really liked his salmon entree and my friend enjoyed his Cobb Salad. Fantastic cocktails too. Very smooth espresso martini and the Lavender Rita had a nice kick to it. Excellent and attentive service. Beautiful restaurant. Lovely and romantic with the dim lighting. Nice place to go for a date or special occasion. There is an upstairs too. Very spacious venue. I'm so happy my friend suggested this place. It was a very memorable meal and I highly recommend coming here.
