    Burnt pita chips

    We used to love this place but our last order was inedible. The gyro meat was hard and inedible, we found meat in our vegetarian bowl, and our pita chips were so burnt they were almost black. Will never eat here again.

    For the price, $19-20, you can find better Mediterranean food. The pita was dry, and the rice was just regular yellow rice. The lamb was okay, and so was the sauce. There are definitely better quality Mediterranean foods for this price!

    Falafel is amazing, fresh, crispy yet soft inside. Made to order. Hummus is delicious and creamy. Dining area is clean and modern with a feel good atmosphere. Perfect light lunch or dinner place with friendly fast service. A can't miss for Mediterranean cuisine.

    Excellent lunch! My travel companion saw the Falafel King sign and we decided to stop in for a quick bite. He had the daily special (gyro sandwich, it was Tuesday) and I had the lamb shawarma plate. We both ate way too much and loved every bite. They also have a communal "appetizer" plate up front with fried pita and accompanying sauces. Wonderful! This was an unexpected surprise that I'm happy to recommend. (Frequent traveller from out of town).

    Service: 5 Cleanliness: 3 Food: 4 Portion size: 5 Came here with a family of four. We ordered a falafel veggie burger, chips and hummus, vegetarian Combo plate. Best part was the falafel. Falafel was very crispy from outside and saw from inside. Probably the best for the fall we have eaten in Minneapolis area. The person on the counter was super friendly and very helpful and took pride in serving. Definitely coming back.

    Came in to pick up some fries. They were very good fires at that! Nice and crispy on the outside without being burnt. I can't talk about their other food as I only got the fries, however, if you're ever in the mood for some Greek food my friend loves this place. I also noticed while I was there someone ordering a burger, it looked pretty good if your ever in the mood for a basic burger.

    One of the yummiest gyros I've had in a while. The seasoning on the fries rocked too plus the friendliest service I've had in ages! I used to go to Falafel King a lot when I lived in Uptown. This is just as good, if not better.

    Need a cheap place to eat that doesn't clog your arteries? Wan't to think outside the bun .. and or the taco? This might be the place for you. They make very nice Shawarma and gyros. The shawarma meat is somewhat curried with turmeric, which is not typically what is common in the Middle east.... I have seen the turmeric thing here in US Mediterranean places only. You also get welcomed with complementary homemade-pita chips and hummus This is their second store in the twin cities area and I am glad they came closer to where I live :P

    Two important notes: 1) I saw a sign that said they are moving to Lyndale/84th in late 2025, and 2)…read moremake sure to get THE RIGHT DUBAI CHOCOLATE. More on that below. This is a Greek/Mediterranean takeout place with a decent amount of seating and some appropriate grocery items. Really nice people working here. I got the Mediterranean Platter which was full of very perfectly-cooked meats and rice, salad with very fresh veggies, a Greek dressing ant tzatziki. The latter two were EXCELLENT, really creamy tzatziki and really flavorful Greek vinaigrette. A lot of food. Not cheap, but I'd say normally-priced. I've also gotten their house-made Dubai Chocolate. It is the best Dubai Chocolate I've ever had. BUT! Get the stuff from the case that they make, not the packaged bars on the counter. The latter is mediocre, but the stuff they make, the stuff in the case, you guys. YOU GUYS. That is why this is a five-star review.

    Ya'll I was not expecting this. This unassuming little place specializes in Mediterranean food and…read morethey also have a small shop where you can pick up any related International groceries. I honestly barely noticed because the smell of yummy foods hit me as soon as I got inside. I think they do most of their business as take-out or pick up, but we actually took advantage of the small dining area attached. The service is nothing fancy- order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. But ya'll- the food! It was really some of the best Mediterranean food I have had since moving to the cities. That hummus -as the kids say- SLAPS! It had a little spicy topping on it and they served it with warm pita breads. I ordered a gyros platter and it came with enough rice to feed a crowd! Even the salad was delicious. I told my husband right away- this is 5 stars.

    We arrived just before noon and all three of us ordered bowls with falafel, hummus, and other…read moreveggies. Our bowls were assembled while we waited. However, there was not enough falafel already prepared for all three of our orders, so we told that one order would be delivered to our table. It arrived a few minutes later with three additional pieces added to the order, which we shared. That was certainly a wonderful gesture from the staff. The hummus, baba ganoush, fresh veggies, and sauces were all fresh and delicious. Naf Naf provided us with a very tasty and delicious lunch. I would definitely go back to try other items on their menu. Clean restaurant! Friendly staff! Great food! Five stars!

    I've only ordered delivery through DoorDash so take my review with that in mind…read more I absolutely LOVE the fries from Naf Naf. They're thin and curled but wide like a steak fry, and even though some of them are cold by the time they get to my house they're still crispy and delicious!! I usually order two cups of fries for myself. Their crispy chicken is actually crispy and still juicy inside but there is a really thick breading on there just in case that's not your thing. The rice and couscous is always moist and tender, the veggies are fresh and flavorful, and the new tomato based sauce they have is delicious! I'm not a fan of many of their sauces besides the lemon vinaigrette and I'm a big fan of sauce usually so I'm not sure what it is but I just don't like the flavors. The pitas are big enough to use two or three to eat a build your own bowl (I like to get a bowl and stuff my pitas with the bowl so it's all mixed and I can add what I want in there). You get A LOT of food for the price. I paid roughly $30 for a BYOBowl, extra pita, extra vinaigrette, and a kids meal with crispy chicken 2 sides and a drink. And if you sign up for their app you can get points for rewards! Definitely one of my go-to's for a light and fresh lunch or dinner.
