Naf Naf Grill - Build Your Own Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I forgot how much I love Naf Naf. And, I'm so glad they've been able to keep this downtown Minneapolis skyway location going in city center. Friendly service that does a great job keeping the dining space clean and well maintained. I always go with the bowl since you can still get the pita on the side. Regardless, the food is always fresh and portions generous. Definitely recommend. read more

Naf Naf Grill - Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love Mediterranean food and this place is the best on the go. I know it's a fast food brand but their food is really good and feels fresh. Their falafels are crispy and very tasty. Is good to see how they have the chicken in the back and how they slice it for your bowl. Their garlic and green sauces are amazing too. Having the pita bread to get more full is also a plus. Service was quick and nice and the place was clean. Totally recommend. read more

Great space for middle eastern food in the Minneapolis. I was here on business, a quick in and out on the skyway and it's delicious and fast. Get the falafels . It was tasty. Also really liked their spicy hummus and their tatziki read more

I ordered a falafel w/hummus pita w/a side of fries. It was flavorful, but cold. Even the fries were cold. Not even warm. Also, the staff doesn't listen to you at all when you tell them what you want. You have to stop them from scooping up ingredients you didn't even ask for as well as bagging your items when you clearly state you're eating there. This isn't the fist time this has happened. It's annoying and I've decided not to go back to this location again. read more

Great fast casual Middle eastern restaurant! I had the bowl with chicken, rice, chopped cucumber salad, hummus, and tzatziki with a side of pita. The flavors were fresh and made a great quick lunch. read more

First off, the food here is amazing and the atmosphere is very chill! Good music playing as well! The restaurant is always clean and well maintained! The service is above and beyond what I expect in a city establishment. Michael has to be one of the friendliest and professional server I have ever encountered! His customer service skills alone makes me want to continue returning! I have been coming here for the last 2 years and each time I have been greeted by Michael, it has been warm and friendly! He is also very patient, as I take a few minutes to decide. I highly recommend you stop in and enjoy the great food and customer service! If you're having a bad day, this will put a smile on your face! read more

I've had Naf Naf Grill several times in the past, but decided to write a review because the team at the US Bank Plaza were doing an incredible job today. Everything in the bowl tasted amazing, I got the chicken shawarma, with rice, a bunch of veggies, tahini sauce, falafel, and hummus. All the veggies were crunchy, the falafel was crispy and super flavorful. The pita bread was also super fluffy. The customer service was great and didn't take me long to get my food. I can't wait to go back! read more

This always hits the spot. I get Naf Naf almost every time I have to go into work. I get the falafel bowl with hummus or rice and I always get the sumac onions and harissa sauce. It is so filling and I get good servings of vegetables, proteins, and carbs. For the downtown location, only the us bank side entrance is open FYI. read more

I had been craving some fast-casual middle eastern food (yes, I was) and got very excited when I realized Naf Naf was nearby last time I was up near Castleton area. It hit the spot! The pita was fresh and soft and amazing all by itself, the rice bowl was full of flavor and color and spice. I wish I lived closer because I would be a regular. Really great middle eastern cuisine in a convenient, approachable atmosphere. Get a meal for takeout within minutes and try as many (or as few...) of the fun flavors as you like. read more

I love their chicken shwarma bowls. I can make it healthy or carb heavy depending on how I'm feeling that day. I'm always happy with what ever I end up having. Always gotta top it with the garlic and tahini sauce. I like to mix it up with the spicy sauces though. Their pita bread is to die for. Can you ever enjoy store bought pita again? Probably not. And their fries are something else. They're like fat potato chips. Love the fries. Staff is also super nice. Space is clean and had social distancing guidelines in place. read more

Whether it's the chicken shawarma or steak with basmati rice bowl I love all the yummy goodness that Naf Naf has to offer. I usually get a little bit of the chopped salad, purple cabbage, sumac onions, and ask for extra garlic sauce because it is just that good. The consistency is what keeps me coming back. I like chains that I can rely on and Naf Naf definitely has their protocol and standard down pat. I love their basmati rice more than the cilantro lime rice from Chipotle and the fact that Naf Naf has that garlic sauce to top it off so it just makes it even better. Their pita is ok. I prefer flat bread style flatbread but when it is toasted and served with my personal favorite olive flaored hummus, it doesnt make a difference. read more

While visiting Minneapolis for work, I went to Naf Naf Grill not once, but twice, because their falafel pita is the best I've ever had. They are conveniently located via the skyway in the lower level of USB Plaza, right next to Chipotle. And the format is similar to Chipotle, too. You order at the counter, and add ingredients as you move through the line. They are fast and reasonably priced, and well worth the trip. They have a variety of items, such as chicken or steak shawarma, falafel, rice and couscous, bowls or pita sandwiches, and a veggie platter. Everything is made fresh right there, including the mouthwatering pita bread and freshly ground falafel. I like that Naf Naf has options for both meat and non-meat eaters. While I occasionally eat meat, I can never get enough falafel. And like I said, theirs is my favorite. It's crispy, full of flavor, and a perfect combination with their soft homemade pita bread. The toppings are perfect - I add finely chopped cucumbers, pickles, and cabbage to my pita. Their tahini is also made in-house, and it's really good. I'm salivating just thinking about their food. I can't wait for my next trip to Minneapolis so I can have some more Naf Naf. I only wish they'd expand to NC! read more

Naf Naf Grill - Half eaten, and absolutely amazing! I almost didn't get a photo! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Food was yummy in my tummy. Falafel was excellent in my rice bowl. Added two scoops of hummus and was happy. Service was excellent. Ambiance was alright for a restaurant in an office building. It was clean and neat and the people were attentive and nice. Two scoops hit the spot. read more

The falafal here is soooo good and fresh and not at all - not even a little bit - dry. I did come here during the lunch rush during my first visit and panick ordered what ended up being an amazing lunch (hummus and lettuce bowl, falafal, all toppings, and two sauces I randomly pointed too). If its your first time and you're unsure what you want, I recommend checking out the menu before you order because they are faaaaast and mean business. This is not the place to look at the menu and dilly dally around while you think about what will be most satisfying to you, this is the place to just go with your gut instinct and hope it turns out ok - which here, it will. read more

There sandwiches are too small, the smallest size of a chicken Shawarma sandwich I have ever seen. Beside its small size it is completely tasteless. The fries were ok but not impressive. The service was good. Overall, not recommended. read more

The massive lines this place attracts speak for themselves! This was actually the first freshly baked pita I'd ever had, and I'm never going back! It has been a struggle since coming here to find more fresh baked pitas to live up to Naf Naf, but they are so worth it. It went well with their hummus bowl which came with lots of tasty toppings. read more

Naf Naf is possibly one of my favorite casual fast food restaurants in the Twin Cities. I wish I could say that it was because I am constantly trying new combinations on the menu, but who am I kidding, I get the same thing every time and am not disappointed. The chicken is always spiced appropriately and the amba is tangy and spot on! read more

Naf Naf Grill - My favorite chicken with pickles, basmati and amba! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

So, this review is not exactly about the food itself. In fact, after a replate the food was pretty good. This is about the cleanliness of the food and the response from management. I found a hair in my pickles...a short black one and immediately upon returning to the store the manager asked me to show him the hair (of course I tossed it) and he seemed to have a very stoic look rather than an empathetic tone, as if I were lying. In fact, he said "I don't see it" and I am just like...I would not waste my gas to return here with a full plate of food that I paid for if I was lying about a piece of hair. In fact, I don't want my money back I just want the acknowledgement and a replate. He complied. But, in the future I will not be patronizing a restaurant who does not understand that the customer should not be victimized for a poorly plated meal (and unclean). read more

I have been here on several occasions. The best description I can give is a Middle Eastern version of Chipolte, although I'm sure Naf Naf would not like that. Don't get scared by the Middle Eastern tag, I'm not a big fan of Middle Eastern Food, but the food here is fresh and very tasty. Never had the spicy pickles before, but they are very good. Chicken is delicious and while I'm not a huge fan of hummus, it is also really good. They also have like parsley, tomato, lemon salad, very healthy and great tasting. What I really like is that on almost every occasion, one of the employees asks how everything is, and that goes a long way for a quick-serve restaurant. The store I go to is in Independence, Ohio. read more

Full disclosure, I ate here with a cold and am not sure if I could taste much or not. I would figure I'd have been able to taste the garlic sauce through anything, and the fact I couldn't was a little concerning - flavor was lacking. The price seems a little high (had a bowl with rice and beef) but it's probably pretty normal for downtown sky way pricing. I'd give it another try because I like the concept and the type of food (feels healthy almost!). read more

I just got over the flavor explosion that Naf Naf Grill delivered to me at lunch today. If eating a pita pocket stocked with beef every day is wrong, then I don't want to be right. When I got there at 11:45am, there was a winding line. I was already expecting this thanks to the great reviewers previous to mine. What I didn't expect is how fast the line would actually move. It took under 15mins to get through, which felt like a flash as I was entertained by the Elvis impersonator in the Plaza lobby #hishipsdontlie. I swiftly ordered the steak shawarma pita, packed with hummus, romaine lettuce, marinated onions, red cabbage, pickles, mixed salad, garlic mayo, side of green hot sauce. I made it a combo with a side lentil soup and Sprite for + $2.99. Ok so their housemade pitas? Best I've ever had. Large, soft, and chewy, and cut perfectly to pocket the pile of pleasing toppings (couldn't think of another "p" word). Every single element in my pita was so unique and flavorful, yet all jived together harmoniously. At first, I thought the green hot sauce was just a tad too hot. But then the actual flavor of it was so addicting, that I kept going back for more and got used to the heat. I think there's a lot of cilantro in it? So I'm automatically a sucker for it. The lentil soup was great too - savory and hearty. Service was great too - like I said, they kept the line moving quickly and with smiles on their faces. read more

What?!? Chicken and rice and freshly made pita? I have been waiting for the one in my neighborhood to open but couldn't wait and when I found out they were open downtown, yeah I had to try it without the hubby. Good sign when a restaurant downtown had the ropes for the lunch crowd to ensure an orderly line. The wait wasn't awful during peak lunch hour. You choose from a bowl, pita or salad and then either beef or chicken schwarma or veggie. Then it's Chipotle style with toppings and sauces. I went with the chicken rice bowl and then added all the sauces, hot sauce and light on the toppings with just lettuce. I wanted it to be similar to my favorite craving from Halal Guys in New York. The bowl comes with a freshly baked pita too ( score!) Flavor was pretty good, not as good compared to Halal guys but when I am itching for this kind of dish, it will do. Chicken was dry, I would probably want to try it with the beef next time. The reason this gets 4 stars is solely on the yumminess of the Pita bread, it was soft warm and chewy just perfect!! I would go back just for the bread read more

Me and my mom went there and had fries and sum plate and bowl and did not even finished half of it and were full we would recommend this to anyone and had sum falafel and baklava read more

Maybe it was overhyped, but this place was semi underwhelming compared to the cult followers description. Basically, chipotle of indian food. Cool concept, and one that is very on trend, but nothing that completely blew me away. The lines at this place are horrible! They have quite a fan following, but can not seem to keep up with the demand. If I see a long line, my expectations are going to go up even higher...so that may be a issue. I just can not say that the flavors were mind blowing enough to yield me to wait in line for 20 mins to order... read more

Always so good, fresh, and the falafel is full of flavor and never dry. However, what keeps me coming back and having an enjoyable experience is the staff. Always friendly, caring, and quick. Love this place. read more

I've been trying to try this place for the last month but the LINE is always SUPER LONG. I went at 11:30 and the line was still at the door but I was ordering in 5 minutes. I wish I would have known that the line goes that FAST. I ordered the Steak Shawarma and it WAS AWESOME. I had the pita loaded to the max, with all of the fixings and the Green Sauce. Oh the Green Sauce was sooo good, its a blend of Jalapenos, garlic, cumin and I'm sure a bunch of other secret ingredients. I can'te decide if it was the Choppedn Salad, Sumac Onions or the Shawarma that made it great but all together its out of this world. Also got the Naf fries which were well gone before I was halfway through the pita. Almost forgot, the pita is made fresh a few minutes before you order, so warm and good!! Will be back, just wish there was one near my house. read more

I ordered via Postmates because I was sick and needed some fresh food with veggies but also enough to keep me full. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl with the chopped salad and pickles. It was pretty good, I would have preferred more rice, it was very heavy on the chopped salad. The pita bread was so soft and pillowy. The lentil soup also hit the spot. I probably would order from here again but only for soup and pita bread, as the chicken and rice bowl was just decent. read more

This place is Top-Notch in the world of fast food. Every time I come it's right after the downtown lunch madness and the place looks spotless. The employees are beyond friendly. They are always willing to help you order and take special requests. They couldn't be nicer and their smiles are always warm. It's obvious it's a well-run machine and employees respond to how they are treated.... Food is great. It nice to know you can truly have it your way at naf-naf. You will always walk out with a full tummy and a happy heart because you were served yummy food and treated so well. read more

Have you ever been to McDonald's to hear they ran out of French Fries? Or Chipotle and they ran out of Tortillas? No. Enter me and my 4 co-workers first visit to Naf Naf City Center in 6 months. Hey we wanted something different! Sure Naf...we built out bow...only to find, at the register "We are out of pita and it will be a while." Not at all apologetic, just a matter of fact. First off, shame on you Naf. You have several critical ingredients. Jesus, Chipotle puts a big sign up when Barbacoa is running low and 5 minutes out. So to be bamboozled at the end with no Pita?!? Find me a McDonalds with no French Fries. What could you even have done? Well...tell us ahead of time so we can walk out...tell us ahead of time so when I would have gotten rice as a side instead of sticking with Hummus and Salad in anticipation of a pita at end. Inexcusable. 1 star. read more

I'm giving this a full-on five stars, considering the fast-casual delivery and all. We discovered Naf Naf in Chitown and then to find it in a layover in Minny was unexpected and exciting too. Chicken hummus bowl with a little rice and heaped with veggies, no cabbage though, add garlic sauce and two falafel and it's heaven in a bowl. The fries/chips are a must as well!! We came early so no wait time for us. read more

I had the falafel salad bowl with a bit of rice and everything on it minus the mango sauce and it was soooo good!!! Also had the "fries" and they were amazing.. More like chips but I love it! Highly reccomend and worth the wait :) read more

So let me start off by saying my initial impression was underwhelming. Firstly, it was difficult to find the place; the address says that it's on 6th street, but it's inside the US Bank Plaza building, and the street entrance is actually on 2nd ave between 5th & 6th. When I arrived, I ordered a falafel pita, and was informed that they were out of falafel (but would be making more). They were also out of the sumac onions. And when I got to the register, it wasn't working and they couldn't ring in my order. So on the basis of that alone, I would have given this place 2.5-3 stars. But, their customer service skills stepped up the game to 4 stars: they quickly fried up a fresh batch of falafel, chopped and prepped a batch of onions, and when they couldn't get the register working in a timely fashion, they comped the whole order for me. Then, I tried the food, and that's what brings this review to 5 stars. The falafel was perfectly fried, moist, and flavorful, while the various sides and sauces they added to the pita each were excellent in their own right. (Personally, I like my harissa spicier, but I understand this is Minnesota, haha). The "fries" were more like soft potato chips, but they were the perfect compliment to the meal, especially if you add them to the pita sandwich. Overall, I was happy I made this my choice for lunch, and I'd recommend it to others looking for a good falafel in the area. read more

Great spot for vegans and non-vegans alike. The employees are some of the kindest you'll find in the skyway. The food... MMMMMM. You need to try the veggie feast (extra pickles, duh). The falafel is consistently on point. The pita is fluffy AF. If you aren't able to nap after, I will warn you, the sodium content will have you dozing at your desk within 45 minutes of consumption. I continue to subject myself to that level of sleepiness because it's just. so. worth. it. Their rewards program is a great perk as well! read more

I ordered online here and wasn't able to pick up my order in time before they closed. Ricardo called me to let me know that he can remake my order when i can stop by next. I called them to tell them when i'd pick it up the next day and got so lost I was an hour late, so Ricardo was thoughtful enough to remake it again before I came in because after an hour sitting it had gotten cold. Amazing customer service, even when I was an inconvenience, and the staff there were incredibly kind. The food was great too, as always. Would definitely recommend not only this store, but this location if you're looking for a pleasant experience read more
