    Had a wonderful meal at Falafel & Grill last week! I have walked past this place so many times and wanted to try it. So glad I did! We tried a large selection of menu items including chicken and beef shawarma wraps, hummus, falafel, and some waffles fries. The food was tasty overall and the portions were generous. We had enough leftovers for three of us to all take home a box. I also tried the mint lemonade which was fantastic. Next time I have to try the baklava. I enjoyed sitting outside on the patio area. Even though it's in a busy spot, the patio feels relaxed and secluded. Also, the staff here are so friendly and they were very attentive. They made sure our experience was 10/10.

    Falafel & Grill is one of those lowkey spots you end up craving again the second you leave. The falafel is crispy on the outside, soft and herby inside, and everything tastes fresh--not like it's been sitting around. Portions are generous (you're definitely not leaving hungry), and the flavors hit every time, especially with their sauces. It's quick, affordable, and perfect for when you want something filling but still feels lighter than your usual takeout.

    Service was nice and quick. The chicken shawarma sandwich (3.5/5) was good, chicken was a little crispy. I just wish there was more of the sauce. They give a good amount of chicken which is nice! The baklava (5/5) was great and you can tell it's homemade in the best way.

    I forgot how good this place is!! Came by tonight around 9pm and was provided friendly service and a fantastic meal. The kofta kebab was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Baba Ghanoush was delicious as well. They were a little heavy handed with the oil on top, but it still tasted great!

    Falafel and grill has the best kebabs for takeout in wicker park. They're my go to for middle eastern food and the portions for plates always last 2-3 meals. The hummus is so flavorful with a hint of lemon. I also love the baba ghannoush (eggplant dip) and lightly air frying the pitas that come with it. My favorite order is the combination meat plate since you get chicken kebab, beef kebab, kofta kabob, and chicken shawarma with their yellow rice, salad, hummus and pita. It's an incredible value and every time the meat is perfectly cooked. It hits the spot every time. It's super easy to order through their website and just check in with the cashier to pick it up.

    Ordered a falafel wrap via Uber Eats. Came neatly wrapped and cut in half. Really enjoyed it! Great deal. Looking forward to trying out more food in the future.

    Combination Meat Plate

    We really enjoyed the meat here - moist, tasty and perfect. I also liked the hummus as it was nice and smooth. My major complaint is you can't get a salad with meat unless it's the Greek salad. So I had to order a side of tabbouleh with a chicken kabob on the side. It felt like not enough meat for a full meal. Honestly the combination plate my husband got was huge, we will probably just split one of those in the future!

    Lemon & mint Lemonade & Mango Refresher
    Gissell P.

    I love Mediterranean Food so when I say this was phenomenal it indeed was the BEST I've had! The Combination Meat is something I knew I had to try since it comes with 4 different kind of meats along with rice, hummus & a side salad, the meat was seasoned well and cooked to perfection! We also had the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich and Falafel Sandwich, which again had amazing flavors. Then to finish off we had these delicious Mint Lemonade & Mango drinks which were perfect for this Chicago heat! Highly recommend!

    Such a great casual, lunch spot in Chicago. The food was amazing! The lentil soup was amazing. Also loved the plates.

North Avenue Falafel is located on North Avenue of course, but it's way out west around Oak Park. Has more than just falafel here with lots of classic items. There's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians who will find lots of good things. Came in around lunch and got a combo. It's about $12 for a typical one. They also have a few cheaper lunch specials. Had to get the Falafel Platter. This is the place's signature item after all, so it had to be good, and it was. I came with eight pieces of falafel. Quite a lot for a platter at this price. Lots of good ass stuff on here. There was hummus, Jerusalem salad, pitas, and rice. Falafel is the main thing it seems, but there's actually plenty more. There's side items like salads and soups. Have to make a return trip over here some time and get some more of the falafel and some other items. It's the best at lunch when there's some specials. There's more than just falafel, with a few meaty choices, and lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

What are the odds one restaurant can be a serious contender for the best falafel AND the best burgers in town? I've been there a few times and I'm in love with the ka'ak patty melt burger. Its not only melted cheese and grilled onions. It's bacon and jalapeño and za'ater mayonnaise. And it's two burgers. Served on an amazing sesame loaf. We split it and fries (also delicious with za'atar seasoning) and that was plenty.. But the onion burger is also pretty great. And you have to get the falafel. Also the onion rings. You may want to skip lunch. Ragadan has quickly become one of the first places I think of when we consider picking up dinner somewhere. We've eaten in, but there's not a lot of ambience. And even though they have a powerful space heater, the dining area is kind of cold in the winter. The kitchen is open though, so you end up interacting with the friendly staff. It's a bonus to see how clean they keep the kitchen.

But on this day, everything aligned, we picked up some cupcakes from Jennivee's and I found street parking in one minute flat and walked over here. It's a nice and inviting space and there's a lot going on in here with the owners being from Jordan, the chefs being Mexican, the burgers being Oklahoma style smash burgers. We were talking to this dude with his girl and he was from Italy and he seemed to have enjoyed his burger as well. We get double protein as much as possible as we're big eaters and the double pattie OK smash cheeseburger was excellent. The Ragadan salad was different with kale and it was pretty good (bright, fresh, and colorful) with extra kefta beef patties. We also smuggled in those Jennivee's cupcakes and ate them after our peaceful meal here in Uptown, which happens to be my old hood. I still remember eating sardines for dinner, just like Biggie. :)

Between the two, I prefer Cava for both the wider selection and seemingly higher quality. Before I get into the meat of the review, a word of caution: One of the keys to enjoying Naf Naf is not overdoing it by adding everything to your bowl. That said, my experiences at Naf Naf with both the food and the service have been hit or miss. Sometimes, the service is perfectly pleasant for a fast-casual eatery, but at other times, I've found it rude and unfriendly. As for the food, I feel the quality of the veggies, meats, and other ingredients is fine, but nothing to write home about. However, I think one issue with piling on too many ingredients is that too much liquid seeps into the bowl, which interferes with the overall experience. It's worth mentioning that even though I do go overboard at Cava, I've never encountered this issue there. Finally, while Naf Naf isn't the cheapest place around, considering the downtown location and portion sizes, I feel the prices are reasonable. Final verdict: Naf Naf Grill is a solid, respectable choice for a healthy-ish, reasonably priced lunch. At the same time, I feel there is room for improvement, and there are places within a five-minute walk that outperform it.
