Suck a great place to catch a quick lunch or dinner with rice bowls and lites topped With chicken schwarma, beef or chicken cutlets topped with all the Mediterranean goodness you can load on. I love the schwarma bowl add hummus with yellow rice pickles, cucumbers and garlic and tabouli sauce. The pitas are delicious and the fried potatoes addictive! read more

Fluffy bread for the win. I loved my chicken shawarma bowl. The flavors were on point and the portion was manageable. The cucumber salad was the star of the show. I had garlic and tahini sauce on mine. The inside was similar to that of Chipotle. There was plenty of parking since it's in the Arbor Lakes shopping area. It was surprisingly dead at lunchtime. read more

This is a great option when looking for something quick, fresh, and different from the traditional American food. I had the bowl with basmati rice, steak, purple cabbage, and garlic sauce along with a side of naf fries. The naf fries are fresh fried potato chips that are hot and crispy. You can also order online for carry out. I will warn you, the naf fries are not nearly as good when taken to go; they can get a little soggy on the ride home. read more

This place never disappoints! The service is always fast and friendly, and the food is fresh and full of flavor. I'm especially obsessed with the garlic sauce! So good! I'm constantly looking for an excuse to come back. read more

Good value for the amount of food you get. Paid $13.50 for the plate and it comes with a lot of food. All toppings taste fresh and the sauces are flavorful. The fries are warm and thicker than normal fries which I like. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Pick 2 Plate with double chicken & a side of fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Big fan of Naf Naf for something unique when considering fast food options. Became fans during covid frequenting them for takeout and it was always good. But eating at the restaurant is even better! Naf naf is set up like a chipotle for Mediterranean food. The have options for bowls, sandwiches (pita pockets) or plates. You get to choose your base, meat and all the fixings as well as a sauce. My top choices are the chicken schwarma and steak. Their garlic sauce is *chefs kiss*. I'd put that stuff on almost anything! You can also grab falafel (or which are also must haves in my book), extra pitas and naf naf fries (crispy, fresh potato chips) as well. It's all delicious. This location has plenty of parking, is always fast and the food is definitely fresh. Try it out! read more

I've been here a couple of times and will keep coming back. The food is great! Though I do wish the couscous was more flavorful, everything else is amazing. After living in the Middle East for three years, I tend to be picker about my Middle Eastern food, and this place checks all my boxes. Service is always quick and friendly, and prices are reasonable. The restaurant itself is kind of cafeteria style, clean, but nothing to write home about. I prefer to have it delivered. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Love the Build Your Own Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Stopped in to grab dinner quick on a busy night and was so glad I chose this place. The food was fresh and there were good options to choose from. I got a build your own bowl with chicken and falafel and it was delicious. Also, the guys behind the counter were super friendly which was much appreciated! They're doing a great job. Plenty of seating and parking available too. read more

My coworkers and I come here weekly for lunch. We're crazy for it! Great spot for vegetarians. I recommend getting a bowl with half hummus and rice. Comes with tabbouleh, cucumber/tomato salad, purple cabbage, and a big soft pita. The falafels are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a savory taste that comes from the herbs and spices. Topped with the garlic sauce and tahini puts it over the top. It's all assembled quickly if front you. read more

Service kinda sucks to be honest but the cleanliness of the over restaurant and amazing food makes up for it , I have a pretty basic order but it's always very good read more

I'm for sure a Naf Fan... Great change of pace from burgers, pasta, pizza and other "go to" dining options. I've tried the crispy chicken and falafel but I'm a chicken shawarma guy with all the fixings. Don't even hesitate, just say all the toppings and you'll enjoy it the way it was intended. That Tahini and Garlic sauce are special, no kidding. Yes, it can be a little messy but if your pita rips open like a bag of groceries just throw it in a bowl with some rice and you're all set. Ordering online is super easy and convenient, walk up to the little shelf, grab your stuff and hit the road. read more

Grabbed some food to have at home one evening. Portions for the plate were great - the photo isn't even 2/3 of the food it came with. Baklava was small for the price - everything was okay. Nothing special but nothing bad - falafels were cooked decently, but needed a bit more flavor, chicken shawarma had flavor but was so dried out it was crazy, and then rice and sides were all decent - definitely needed the garlic and spicy sauce though. I'd probably grab it again if I'm close and craving some sort of falafel bowl, but I wouldn't seek it out. read more

The experience at Naf Naf Grill was one I was looking forward to. In the end, I feel it generally fell a bit flat. the food was good, had the chicken bowl with rice which was pretty standard. The service was rushed and the server appeared as though I was a bother when I asked questions about the spice level in the sauce options. In short, the food was decent, price was a little on the high side, and the restaurant was clean. For its purpose, a quick and easy lunch with no frills, this place fits the bill. read more

There are tons of places to shop in Maple Grove and Plymouth. There are tons of parks. There are tons of people. So why are the food options so overwhelmingly mediocre? This is kind of a Halal Guys style concept with more options and at a higher price. It's adequate. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just not that great because the meat is a little on the sketchy side. It's fast food Mediterranean. You've almost certainly had worse, but for the price, this should be better. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Chicken Baba Ghanoush Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Wanted to come here for a while. The staff was very friendly and even samples were given to ensure the order was going to be perfect. There was even the recommendation of the cous cous mixes with the baba ganoush. It was real good. I got the chicken pita and made it to order. I was expecting the fries to be different. They were chips instead. They were tasty though. I am craving this place now. Too bad I live so far from one. Definitely recommended. You won't regret it. read more

Naf naf is the best fast middle eastern food around. I make middle eastern food at home myself and I still love grabbing naf naf from time to time. I highly recommend their steak and their baba ghanoush read more

I read another review where the person described Naf Naf as a Middle Eastern Chipotle, and that's really what it is. You walk in, walk up to the counter, say what kind of thing you want and then go down the line with all the toppings and such. Similar to Chipotle, there are also a limited number of additional options like extra falafel, extra pita or of course Naf Naf fries. I got the hummus bowl with steak, which seemed like a really good option because I'm not a big salad person. The guy behind the counter carefully lined my bowl with hummus, dropped in a generous helping of steak and then we added toppings. Everything was really delicious and I very much enjoyed the pita, which was clearly fresh-baked. We got the Naf Naf fries and they were just OK. I think since it was the end of the day maybe they weren't as fresh as they normally are. But overall I thought it was a good healthy meal at a reasonable price. We would surely come back if we were nearby and in need of a bite. read more

Naf Naf is a delightful, affordable, and quick Mediterranean choice for a meal. Just enough choices without being overwhelming. Just enough flavor to not be intimidated. Really good quality for the price. Nice value overall. The few issues I have are about word choices. Minor nit-picking overall. First of all there is no grill. What? But it's clearly in the name! I know, right! My steak was clearly cooked on a flat piece of metal. That's not a grill! The falafel and fries are clearly fried...no grill again! Speaking of the fries...they are not traditional fries in my mind's eye. Closer to crisps or fresh chips. They were crunchy and salty with fresh potato flavor, but clearly not long rectangular pieces of potato, rather thin circles of potatoes. Oh, Naf Naf! Also the logo is a camel crossing. No camels crossed at all while I was there! There was clearly pita love! It seemed fresh and I got to get babaganoush slathered on it with steak, a cucumber/tomato dice, red cabbage, pickles and some garlic Mayo on the side. Great decision there because boy was it garlicky! Love it, but would have overpowered the other flavors for me. For just $3 more with the sandwich I got their "fries" (using the term super loosely!) plus a fountain drink. Really a good deal overall. It seems like most customers get it to go which makes sense the seating wasn't super comfy, but for a quick meal it works. I'll probably stop by again since my gyro restaurant closed and the burbs lack choices for this kinda cuisine. Definitely get a fresh & fluffy pita with garlic sauce on the side! The rice bowls looked good too! Don't worry about spitting camels. Coast is clear. read more

Good was nasty, horrible and the staff was more concerned about the end of their shift than providing us with good service... We came in 35 mins to close and the food available was almost gone and they refused to make any fresh food... The Manager on duty said it was too close to closing time for them to make any fresh food... Insane considering we weee willing to spend $100! Ultimately, the only reason we stayed and paid for this crappy food that had probably been sitting since 5pm under heat lamps (3+ hours), was Wifey is pregnant and specifically asked for this type of cuisine! read more

I love this food! Fresh! I'd eat some falafel every day if I could. Love the chicken bowls with yellow rice, falafel on the side. The staff is friendly and helpful, food is always fresh. read more

Whenever I'm in town this is the place we visit. The food is fresh and with plenty for two meals. The sauces are tasty and no spicy overkill. I was not a fan of the chicken but the beef is great with the couscous and mixed veggies. Don't forget the pita bread. Enjoy. read more

I love Naf Naf. They have the best pita and the sauces are lovely. I love the spicy red sauce. It's very tasty and fresh and flavorful. It a nice change up from burgers and other types of fast food. read more

I have a serious love of Naf Naf. Like I'm pretty sure my pupils dilate when I take that first bite. This is (Americanized) middle eastern food in a Chipotle-style (build your own) setting, which is probably the best idea I've ever heard, and Naf Naf delivers on that genius premise. Their pita bread is to die for. I recommend getting a bowl instead of a pita though, because it still comes with a side of bread which you can then load up with garlic-sauce-laden goodness. The only thing I wish was different is that hummus is an upcharge. (Roti, a similar joint, doesn't upcharge, but it is less addicting than Naf Naf.) Still, everything here is super flavorful, well seasoned, and delicious -- I highly recommend checking it out. read more

This place is so awesome. I get the hummus bowl, basmati rice, fermented cabbage, schwarma chicken, and fermented pickles! It is always so freaking good. They also included their pita bread which is super soft and squishy on the outside and just a little crispy on the outside. The staff is always super nice and the food always tastes fresh. Visit this Mediterranean grill, you will not regret it and you would be supporting a local business. read more

EXCELLENT FOOD. We LOVE this place. Very authentic. We prefer the chicken and veggie dishes. However, everything is great. The ONLY thing we don't like from the menu is the fried chicken and the Naf Naf fries. The pita could be a little more done but not a problem. We love and prefer this place the most in Maple Grove when it comes to eastern cuisines. read more

Yum yum yum- when traveling it can be hard to also eat healthy and have food that makes you feel good. This was delicious and I didn't feel sick like I would with fast food. I had the falafel hummus bowl with pretty much everything on it. My vegan sister had the same thing with no garlic sauce (mayo based). We both loved it. I also had the Naf fries with garlic sauce and that was amazing as well. I will be back the next time I visit family in the area! read more

Tried Naf Naf today after reading many reviews, I missed the Arabian cuisine flavors so I thought I'll find my comfort food there but oh boy I got it all wrong. Food is far from tasting as Arabian food , missing a lot of spices In their food . The bowls portion are very small ,I was still hungry when I left. The staff are nice though but the vibes aren't cozy enough. Food was so cold, the all experience was bad bad bad, sorry I would definitely wont be eating there again. read more

Solid fast-casual Mediterranean food. You can pick a bunch of stuff to cram into your pita, but I'm partial to the chicken shawarma. There are several sauces to choose from and I'm not sure you can really go wrong in your creation, but I tend to pick the spicy and garlicky combination. The Naf Fries are also pretty good - somewhere between a potato chip and french fry. The prices are reasonable and this gives you something a little less orthodox than Chipotle, Noodles & Company, etc. in the fast-casual space. read more

My first visit today - the food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are very friendly. The format of this restaurant is similar to Chipotle except with middle-eastern food. You order up front, you make a general selection, then you add ingredients, toppings, sauces, and sides. I tried a Hummus Bowl with Chicken Shawarma and I added equal portions of every ingredient available so I could sample everything. I also tried a dollop of every sauce. It was all excellent! I think I prefer lamb shawarma over chicken. But it's a small point, the chicken was good. I also tried the Naf Fries and a few Falafels. Again, it was good. I was a little nervous when I read the previous reviews about impatient staff. This problem seems to have been fixed. The employees I dealt with were are super friendly, helpful, and informative. Finally, the prices are all very reasonable. I think the Falafels are kinda pricey at 75 cents each. (I'm used to shoveling them in my face at buffet places like Holy Land.) But again, a minor point. I like this place and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

I've been coming to this naf naf for over 4 years. Today was the end of that. I don't know if it's because of Covid, but they intentionally reduced the portions and jacked up the prices. This may seem like a common complaint, but they've reduced quantities so much that I could count the amount of pickles received (total 6). Normally, I would just politely ask for more and they'd accommodate no problem. However, now they will charge extra just to get a small cup on the side (see picture). I also like to have the sauce they would normally put on the bowl for free on the side, but now they charge for that as well. Not to mention the customer service has deteriorated to an abysmal level. I would love to see them make a turnaround, but until then I'm done with this place. 1 bowl should not cost $18.50. There are plenty of higher quality places on Main Street to visit for that price point. read more

I used to like NafNaf, especially the one in Northbrook, IL. This one in Maple Grove, MN is just so so. The falafel is usually overcooked, and the chicken shawarma is also overcooked and dry. I went last night, but they were out of pita. Can you imagine a Middle East restaurant out of pita. It appears to be a franchise, but the quality control from shop to shop is very hit or miss. read more
