My husband and I frequent this location often, and we have always had a positive experience every time we have come here. The dining area is consistently clean, the workers are friendly, and the food is of great quality.
We love this place so much because we love how it's customizable to fit what we want. Customers have a choice of creating a bowl which is $10.45 (comes with one protein choice), a plate which is $12.65 (comes with two protein choices), a stuffed pita sandwich ($8.95), or a salad bowl ($10.45). Then, you can pick a base of either rice, hummus, spicy hummus, couscous, baba ghanoush, or half of two choices. Protein choices include chicken shawarma, crispy chicken, grilled steak, or falafel. Next, toppings include chopped salad, purple cabbage, sumac onions, and pickles. Lastly, you pick sauces to add on top or on the side. They offer many different kinds, including two spicy ones, a garlic one, tahini, a lemon or pomegranate vinaigrette, or nafziki.
My usual order consists of a chicken shawarma bowl with a half hummus (regular or spicy depending on my mood) and half rice base. Then, I add chopped salad, purple cabbage, and onions. Lastly, I normally add the green or red hot sauce (again, depending on how spicy I really want it). I also love ordering a pita sandwich, but the nice thing about the bowls is that you get a complimentary pita on the side, so you get the best of both worlds. The pitas here are fresh and amazing!
Overall, we like this location and love the convenient location from us. Please remember that this is a chain restaurant, so it's not the "authentic" Middle Eastern cuisine you would get at a locally owned restaurant. Also, be careful with the times you come here this parking lot is connected to Woodfield Mall's parking lot; there are also a few other dining restaurants connected to Naf Naf's strip mall, so the parking lot can get extremely busy depending on the time of day and year. I'm sure the holiday season would create a mess in the parking lot. The lunch rush for sure does because I have come here during it.
