Second time at this chain, and they've really perfected the Mediterranean model of Chipotle! I like how there's way more choices here. I had the salad base with falafel, and a bunch of toppings like cabbage, couscous, hummus, cucumbers, and olives. Topped off with some red wine vinaigrette and a pita, and this was a top-notch quick meal. The salad base didn't even make it feel like a salad because there were so many other ingredients. This made for a delightful dish, with every spoonful being a burst of flavor. The pita was a little thick, which made it feel a little inauthentic. Service was very friendly and the pricing is fair for portion (I had a little bit of leftovers). This is my go-to spot in Chicago for some affordable, healthy, and quick lunch food! read more

I love Roti and have been to several of their other locations. This one is close to my job. Good location. Just opened so there is still that new scent in the air. I was greeted as soon as I arrived. Staff seem cool, friendly. I hope this continues. I ordered a salmon rice plate, soup & tea = $17...kinda pricey but delish though. They have an offer if u download app u get $5 off, do it to save, not a reasonable lunch plate but better than nearby Epic Burger. They have a competitor nearby, Olive Mediterranean. Both are good but I like Roti better. Place was clean, busy, a tad nosy due to customers. Ample free parking. read more

I love Roti! Like borderline obsessed. And I'm so glad to finally have a location up in Lincoln Park! When I lived out-of-state, one of the things I missed most was Roti's gluten free pita. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the wrap doesn't sit heavy in your stomach afterwards. The concept is basically like Chipotle, but Mediterranean. And they're super knowledgeable about switching up gloves for allergies! I came here the night of their soft opening and noticed so many other people had ordered the rice plates. Maybe I'll have to branch out? But until then, the steak and red pepper sauce on gluten free pita is basically heaven. read more

Awful. They filled the bowls half way and gave us cold pitas for our hummus. Check your order before you leave. Could you at least give us more Kale and fake it? read more

Roti - Really?? - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Honestly the best customer service we've seen in a long time. Every single employee greeted us when we came in. And it wasn't like one of those "I have to greet you" types either. They were all so pleasant and helpful especially TJ. Also the food is always amazing! Hits the spot every time. read more

Be careful and considerate with your credit and debit cards at this establishment.... My card was charged twice for one order....

I wish I had discovered this place sooner. The food is always so flavorful and fresh. Prices are fair. I always get the pita and it's always stuffed with so many textures and colors. Great quality, great price. 10/10. read more

Seen so many people go there that my wife an I decided to give it a shot and I have to say: total disappointment! Customer service is good but for being 5:30 pm, the steak and chicken we got with our platter did not seem or taste fresh. What was more disappointing was how much we paid when across the street another Mediterranean restaurant has not yet delivered a bad plate at a lower price. LMB!!!!!! read more

The picture speaks for itself. Mistakes are made but this should not be one of them! Very dangerous! read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love this place so much!!! The inside of the spot is super nice and clean. The food is amazing. It's like a better version of chipotle. I got the rice bowl with half chicken roti and half chicken kebab! I wish we had one in Washington. Next time I am in town, I will be back!! read more

Loved this place! Had the chicken kabob salad with almost every topping . I always feel guilty buying pre-made salads when I have the same ingredients in my own fridge, but Roti offered many interesting options that I don't have lying around. Favorite toppings included; roasted eggplant salad, hummus, picked onions and cous cous. I got cucumber dill yogurt and red pepper sauce to use as salad dressings and they both tasted super fresh and light. I placed my order through yelp (feeling anti-social), and it was packed up and and ready to go for me when I walked in 5 minutes later. Very fair pricing also! read more

I loved this restaurant until NOW. My favorite is the spicy lamb pizza which they say is no longer on the menu without building a pizza and paying for each item seperately......where they do that at? The service was HORRIBLE. The people there were arrogant, non accomadating and RUDE. Where is DIAMOND? She can teach them a thing about great customer service. My decision: Just go to other restaurants and WARN People 2 stay away from this establishment in HYDE PARK unless u want to be treated less than. read more

We ordered there family style dinner for 4 yesterday and everything from the food, to the service to the packaging was perfection. $55 and My husband and I had enough food for dinner, lunch the next day and still had leftovers. Everything was fresh and delicious. To pick up you tell them what # spot you parked in and they bring it right out to you. Packaging is very eco-friendly which is hard to find. And so easy to serve 6 dishes in the 2 trays they come in. Clean up was super easy too. This is our new go-to carry out option! read more

So glad I chose to eat here. Loved the flavorful chicken roti. Of the sides my favorites were the veggies and grilled eggplant. Healthy food and value for money. read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food was very tasty. I did the delivery order from their website and it was fast. They forgot an item, but when I called, they quickly and very nicely took care of me. I was impressed. Thank you for treating me like a regular customer even though it was my first time. read more

Ok, prices have gone up just like everything else. I ordered the street pita have the toppings that were offered are gone. They don't offer rice anymore, they give you very little protein and the use to give you a half pita but now they give a whole pita to make up for the loss. Totally disappointed, I asked the lady at the counter why all the changes on the ingredients were gone she told me that there's a new chef for the company and changed it. This was one of my favorite Mediterranean places not anymore read more

Ate here tonight in-house. Was great with an upbeat energy. The gentlemen behind the counter explained the menu and options to order happily. I felt everyone was helpful, happy, and possessed a way about them that really exemplified they were enjoying themselves at work. Clean. Delicious. Will be back to this location!! Go here! read more

Our first time order here, very disappointed. We bought a lil' Lamb ($11.25) and a Chicken Roti Pita ($8.25). They are way too small! Very few stuffings. Will never come back. read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

This was my favorite lunch spot in Chicago hands down. Could get a great meal for a very reasonable price. Now? They've completely changed the menu and it's nearly unrecognizable. They took away all of the good side options which provided so much flavor to the build your own bowls. The price has also significantly increased too unless you get premade bowls, which sucks because the best part about Roti was creating your own meal. Too bad the new CEO is a giant sell out that doesn't know how to run a business. Great job chasing off your loyal customer base! read more

Made a purchase at this location got home to try to eat it and the rice was hard. I was upset since it cost me almost $16. Took it back the following day and was told I should've called by the female making orders. My thoughts are for what if nothing can be done over the phone. I'm here in person. Asked for manager. (I don't know if it was a male or female so apologies if I'm wrong. Deon identified as the store manager. He/ She then told me that all the food is served cold. I stated that wasn't the issue but the rice was hard. He then said the container was empty without even opening the bag. I told him to open it. He refused. He / she was being an asshole for no reason. I only get rice chicken and corn. Why would I embarrass myself by bringing an empty container. NOTHING IS THAT SERIOUS! Nonetheless, I will not return to this location. If you decide to go, you've been warned of their two for one asshole special! Good luck read more

The food was fresh and very tasty. My wife got the salad version. I got the rice plate version. Both were excellent. We were greeted with a friendly smile. The seating was small for lunch time it got very crowded. The ingredients looked very much like original eastern Mediterranean foods. Eggplant, couscous, olives, Lamb. The lamb meatballs were indeed very spicy as so named. We enjoyed the meal and recommend it highly. read more

I occasionally stop by this roti on my way home when I have to work late on thursdays. I consistently am greeted by the friendliest staff even though I'm usually in a bad mood from a long day! Even though I get there about 15 mins before they close they always help me out without seeming in a rush. Fast, friendly, efficient, and clean! The tall man working there Thursday evenings deserves a raise for his customer service!! This location is also my moms top request on meals when she comes to visit chicago. We love it!!! read more

I've seen this place spring up in a couple of different locations around the city, and now I understand why! They probably strongly dislike this comparison, but Roti very much reminds me of Chipotle, except it is Mediterranean-based instead of Mexican. It's also probably significantly healthier, since they offer so many different vegetables. I'll get to that in a bit! You have a choice of ordering a pre-designed pita/wrap, or designing your own. I would suggest making your own so you can sample the flavors you want. You can make a pita/wrap, a rice plate, or a salad plate. I made the rice plate, which reminds me of a burrito bowl. You have a choice of meat, such as chicken/steak roti, chicken kabobs, salmon kabobs, or falafel. Once you pick your meat (or falafel), you can pick sides to go with it. I was most impressed by how many mixed veggie/salad options you can choose from - so healthy! Plus, a lot of the veggie options are already seasoned or lightly drizzled with a dressing so they are flavorful. I chose to add in some couscous, tomato/cucumber Israeli salad, chicken kafta, and some feta cheese to sprinkle on top. There's plenty of other garnishes like olives, etc. Lastly, there's different dressings you can add on and there is a helpful table illustrating how spicy each one is. I picked the "cool" yogurt and dill mix, which reminds me of tzatziki. My rice plate came with a fresh pita on the side that you can eat plain or dip/stuff with items from your bowl. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a very casual, relaxed atmosphere. I have to thank the restaurant for being very accommodating of my sesame allergy, which is often a problem with Mediterranean food. Not only did the man behind the counter walk me through every item behind the glass, he also gave me a nutritional guide with a helpful table highlighting allergens in different dishes. (The hummus is made in-house!) This is a great spot to get some healthy (and also good quality) fast food. I would definitely come back and hope they open up more locations across the US! read more

Man man man...Rōti is good but I would NOT suggest getting food from this location, especially on a Wednesday night like tonight. Issue 1 is that they ran out of Rōti bread and rice and had to make more, which is fine, but instead of telling customers that more had to be made, they were telling customers that they have none at all and that "if your order ain't up there for pick up, that means we have no rice." Issue 2 is that I asked for bread with my order. They said they didn't have any, which again was fine. But, when I had to go back in because they gave me somebody else's order, low-and-behold they have more bread. Before I could ask for it, the worker slammed the bread on the counter in front of me. Issue 3 is the biggest, and it's that about 8 people were in there for the same reasons - orders were backed up, misplaced, and/or being told that there was no more food items instead of being informed to wait on more to be made. Good grief. Shout out to the young man on the grill and the shift manager though, they are why this still gets 3 stars. read more

Wow, I was very pleasantly surprised after ordering from this restaurant online. I got a build your own bowl with falafel and all the sides and toppings. The ingredients are fresh and so flavorful! Plus it is so reasonably priced! You get a good amount of healthy food that tastes good and doesn't break the bank. Will definitely order from here again! read more

Don't waste your dough here. I had the falafel and it was awful - like the worst ever! The service was so lackluster- maybe that's what happens when you have that kind of food looking at you all day long. read more

It's so cute in here! Came in late last night and the food was still fresh and the serving sizes were plentiful. Such a great location and everyone who worked there was so nice. read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely delicious and one of my favorite lunch places during the work week. I'm a big fan of Roti, in general, but this location is especially nice. It's clean and modern inside, and they even have a little patio area that is surprisingly nice for a strip mall area. My go to food items are the chicken kabob plate or salad. One of the reasons I like it here so much is because they let you pick as many "extras" for toppings as you want. Some places limit or charge extra for an extra sauce or extra cucumber and tomatoes, but they don't do that here. The chicken is always well seasoned and cooked perfectly. If you get the salad, they let you pick whether you want it tossed or plated separately, which is a nice touch. I recommend the tossed option as it really brings the flavors togethers nicely. If you're looking for a quick and easy meal option (great for lunch or even a light dinner), this place is great! read more

I've been coming here every day and getting the steak and paying 10.32 but now it's 12.32 that's two bucks more crazy and less the food so that's wrong you have some people work back there give u more then normal I got steak and three pieces come on I get more steak at chipotle then here sorry I loved the food but not for 12.00 bucks not worth it anymore read more

Kind note to management - I have been a loyal customer for some time now. It seems like prices are creeping up and portions get smaller and smaller. Please re-evaluate your priorities for those customers who are still coming out during the pandemic to support your business. read more

I ordered ahead and they went above and beyomd to make sure my order wad correct becsuse i might not have been 100% clear. They gave me extra saices on the side just in case. That was nice. Everything tasted good and fresh. I wouldve liked my meat and rice to be hot but since i probably didn't eat it until probably 45 minutes after it was made. It wqs nothing they did wrong. This was my second time ordering and i will definitely order again. The first time I came in, Sarah was very friendly and helpful. She knew what she was talking about and it sold me! read more

Roti was delicious!!! First time eating here! Awesome customer service and food! The team member who helped me SJ was very friendly and helpful he took his time to explain different dishes and, answer any questions I had. The food was very healthy and refreshing. I enjoyed the Rice Plate with Chicken Roti. My first experience there was very, execptional! Great Job Team! Thank you SJ for being very helpful. read more

This place is like a Mediterranean chipotle w extra fix'ns! It's fresh and tasty and reasonably priced. I would go again but not something I would crave. I had the chopped salad w roti chicken. read more

Roit is my favorite lunch spot! This location is perfect for a healthy, after gym meal. When i first started eating at Roti, I played it safe and stuck with the salad with just chicken roti and some tomatoes & cucumbers. But as I got more comfortable with the menu and different toppings, I've moved to the rice bowl with chicken, slaw, couscous and more. I actually crave Roti almost several times a week and add something new to my plate every visit. And since this is a new location, it's super bright & sunny inside, especially compared to the darker, older locations in the Loop. read more

I am so disappointed by the recent menu changes! They got rid of some of the best things on menu (chicken kabobs, fresh vegetables, cous cous), which were significant differentiators vs other fast casual places. This was my favorite place to go for lunch, but without these options, the menu feels pretty bare. Please go back to your previous menu!! read more

I love this restaurant for all the wrong reasons...it seems healthy and good for you but the way I eat it, not so much. Don't get me wrong; the food is delicious! But a rice plate with chicken and all the fixings can be over 2000 calories! That might be okay if you run 5 miles a day everyday, but for this Fat "Chic"k, 2000 calories can be better spent elsewhere. But good for you? Better read the fine print. With that said, I do adore their steak and chicken cabob, their dill sauce, warm pita bread and their variety of teas. (More restaurants could do well to review their beverage menu! Bravo to Roti on this!) Most of all, I like their baklava...just like Ya-Ya makes. Chew and go forth! read more

This was my first Roti experience, and I welcome them to my work neighborhood! I had a salad with steak and a slew of veggies and sauces - this will quickly go into my rotation of lunch options! read more

Easiest and one of the healthiest for lunch and dinner. I just rode on the app, come in pick up my food and eat. You also get credits on the app. read more

Love Roti, everything so fresh & delicious. Had the salad bowl with chicken roti & baklava, yummy!
