This is my first time having roti. I'm usually not a fan of Mediterranean food but this place changed it all for me. I got the skirt steak and brussels sprouts bowl. They ran out of the steamed brussels sprouts so they substituted it for the crispy brussels sprouts. It was a great choice! I substituted the white sauce for the green sauce. It added a whole different flavor to this meal. I'm sure it would've been better the other way too. The rice was cooked perfectly. The tomatoes complimented the skirt steak very well. The steak was nice juicy tender flavorful. The falafel was delicious as well. That was my first time having it. The flavor blew my mind. It tasted like a chicken tender. The service was good, very nice lady that took care of us. This establishment was very clean on the inside. Great area to walk to to get a quick bite to eat. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Really good and super quick service! The food was fresh and generous. Highly recommend for a quick bite on the go!

Mediterranean chipotle!! I got the mezze protein bowl that came with every type of protein and falafel (besides salmon). Definitely a better deal than a single protein bowl. So yummy! Very refreshing! But ask for sauce on the side so it doesn't drown out the rest of the dish. read more

Roti - Mezze protein bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love Mediterranean food and Roti is a fast-casual restaurant that will satisfy my cravings. We got the skirt steak & brussels bowl and the za'atar chicken bowl. Their rice and hummus are solid, and the chicken and steak were both great. The bowls came with pita bread but the bread was a little stale. The staff was very nice and accommodating for nut allergies (no nuts!). For a fast-casual restaurant, though, the prices are really high. read more

Roti - Skirt Steak & Brussels Bowl and Za'atar Chicken Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Horrible. I got a veggie big bowl salad with roasted veggies, and they looked and tasted like they had been frozen and brought back to room temp or perhaps were just very old. The lettuce was sad and wilted. It's possible that they deliberately sent out old and stale ingredients since mine was a delivery -- that does not bode well, since that kind of attitude can only result in food poisoning. At any rate, don't order delivery. read more

I always order on the app with no problems and then eat my harissa chicken bowl there - great atmosphere for a chill lunch/dinner. Michael always hooks me up with a great bowl too so when I see him behind the counter I know it's gonna be good! read more

I usually don't leave reviews for quick serve franchises, but thought I would for the out-of-towners or potential newbies. Roti is one of my favorite spots that I frequent often. The food is fresh (most of the time) and staff is friendly. My go-to is a half spicy chicken half steak roti on cauliflower rice. As for toppings, they have a ton for you to choose from - a la Subway, chipotle etc! That being said I'm a picky eater so I only get the hummus on my plate. Now for the cherry on top, the sauces! The red and green shug are a must! I get those with a dash of garlic sauce and Tzatziki. Next time you're passing by, don't be afraid to stop in! read more

A tastier and healthier alternative to chipotle! They have a similar setup where you can build a custom bowl or order a premade one. I went with the custom option and got harissa chicken. You get unlimited sides and sauces, all of which are delicious! And their sauces were so creative, I got the spicy feta and avocado tahini. The portion of meat is definitely smaller than I expected but overall the bowl was a really filling meal. Would definitely come back! read more

I ordered a Roti custom bowl, pita w/ avocado hummus, and falafel through DoorDash. Unfortunately pretty much none of the toppings I requested were added. I'm assuming this wouldn't be an issue if I had ordered in store so hopefully your experience will be better than mine. Nonetheless, the food was good, it just lacked the pizazz the sides and toppings I requested would have added. read more

Roti - a bowl of food and a bag of chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Roti Modern Mediterranean is a chain of fast casual, build-your-own-bowl restaurants with Israeli-inspired flavors. My salad bowl came with a base of lettuce, kale, and mixed greens, topped with chili tahini cauliflower and falafels, which were soft, slightly gooey, and (uniquely) contained whole chickpeas. There were plenty of fresh sides to top off the bowl, including shredded carrots, rainbow slaw (made of Brussels sprouts, kale, red cabbage, carrots, and more), cucumber/tomato salad, beets, black lentils, golden tomatoes, and pickled onions, as well as crispy chickpeas and pita chips for a crunchy finish. On the side, I also got the hummus dip, the herbaceous spicy green s'hug, and the sweet and spicy red s'hug, which all had great flavors and a nice kick! I also got their white pita bread, which was soft, fluffy, chewy, and perfect for eating with the hummus and falafels. read more

Wow! I love a fast casual concept! Roti sure hit the spot. For the price and quality, this place is never a bad idea! I got the falafel bowl w/ mixed greens. For $10, I had a TON OF FOOD! The toppings were limitless and they even threw in some fresh pita bread! Their hummus is absolutely delicious and the falafel was full of crunch and flavor. You can't go wrong with any of the toppings (since I tried them all) but the cabbage, olives and cucumber salad had to be my favorites! The staff was extremely friendly and safety precautions were enforced! I felt safe receiving my food from here. Certainly check them out! read more

Delicious food, and one of my favorite restaurants in Hyde Park! You also get a lot of food for what you pay for.

Best fast casual Mediterranean restaurant, much better than Cava. I frequent another Roti location usually, but when I was in Hyde Park, stopped by for a quick bowl after ordering online. By now, I've tried most of the protein options, and I particularly enjoy the salad with chicken roti, hummus, veggies, cous cous, feta, pickled onions, and red s'hug as the dressing. Love how flavorful, filling, and fresh everything is. read more

Roti - Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

**Vegetarian Friendly** Talk about vegetarian heaven! Roti is a make your own style mediterranean based restaurant (think Chipotle-style but for mediterranean food). So many options to customize your meal to your liking. Absolutely love that all their toppings are vegetarian, and they have falafels. I wish they had a crunchy topping such as pita chips (like croutons), but still delicious without it. My personal choice is the salad because they toss it together for you, but you can't go wrong with any option. I will 100% be back! read more

Roti - Salmon Roti Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This Hyde Park roti has indoor seating open as long as you're distanced, floor to glass ceiling, and some power outlets for charging over lunch. Staff were aggressively friendly when I came in, but I think they had a district manager or something in the store, so, you know. I'm not one to review chains, but then I forget that Roti isn't a national chain at all (They are from and cover Chicago, especially in the downtown areas, and I think are in NY also?). But when it comes to a fast casual pick your own healthy option, a roti wrap with chicken schwarma (chicken "roti") and all the ingredients is my goto. Especially a fan that you aren't charged extra for certain ingredients - you just pick what you want. Roti is better overall than other local chains like NafNaf or I Dream of Falafel. But do be sure to check out independent mediterranean places as well, there can be some amazing ones, especially in Albany Park neighborhood along Kedzie. read more

Hyde Park location: I ordered salmon yogurt bowl and salmon green goodness via Uber Eats. Neither meal had salmon, and one of the meals had dry chicken. When I called, the person told me that they didn't have salmon. Apparently, they were too busy to call and ask if I wanted to change or cancel my order. When I questioned them about being charged for something I did not receive, I was told to come to the store for my refund. Really? at 8pm?  Why couldn't they refund the Uber order electronically, the same way I paid for it?! I WILL NOT ORDER FROM THEM EVER AGAIN. Very disappointed. The pita bread pictured below was so hard I can use it as a frisbee. And I paid $60. Do better Roti! read more

Sigh... my MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN bowl was cold and the rice was hard and undercooked. No flavor at all. It was misting sauce and the chicken was tough. Ordered 2 chicken pita entrees and both were not good. Will not go back to that location spent too much money for all three entrees to be this disappointing. read more

Good customer service. Workers are attentive. I always give them a tip due to nice service. On the food side, it's a damn shame they got rid of the cranberries. They used to make the meals amazing read more

The food is good but they mistake my order while I was there. So keep an eye on your bowl while you are going though the line.

I was brought here in the spur of the moment while deciding not to wait in an extensive line at the restaurant next door... Boy am I glad I did! They have such a great concept going here! I love custom food bowls, and they dont disappoint! I dont eat meat, but it did look nice quality & well seasoned. EVERYTHING ELSE IS = JUST FRESH ! Thats how I feel about their multitude of options! Lets start with the 3 or 4 available greens. Then the meats, proteins, beans, veggies, pulses, grains, roots, pickles, sauces.... OMG. I have never had them to toss my items & mix them. I get my base and all my items spread around the perimeter in round scoops. Also, they have superb falafel. The inside is clean. The decor sheik and simple with a touch of Ikea & Martha Stewart. And, theres a patio outdoors available in the summer. read more

Roti - To go plate on #Fleek - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had a strange experience at Roti at Hyde Park and would suggest patrons to carefully review their order and receipt. It started with my order. I ordered a rice plate with Chicken Kabob (among 2 other items) and the server gave me some other chicken in it. When I pointed out that I had ordered the chicken kabob, she clearly didn't like it that I had pointed it out, but she went ahead and added the chicken kabob anyway. So no real issues there because the problem was promptly fixed. Anyway, so I completed my order, was asked to pay $41.42 which I did. I wasn't offered a receipt but I didn't need one anyway. When I got back to my car, I wondered how my order of three items had cost so much. So I decided to go back to ask for the receipt. When I made the request, the server who had served me immediately said that their terminal was 'acting up'. Even before I said anything to her (I had merely asked for a copy of my receipt), she said that the terminal had been randomly adding stuff to people's orders and she somehow knew that it had added 3 Spindrift Raspberry Lime drinks to my order. She said all that without even looking up my order! Then someone else from the restaurant stepped in and said that they were having issues and promptly issued me a refund and charged me the right amount. All this by me merely asking "could I have a copy of my receipt". I sincerely think that the staff behind the counter knew exactly what they were doing and that the system wasn't randomly acting up. Why didn't they offer me a reciept when I first placed the order? How did they know what was wrong with my order without even looking it up first? Anyway ... the food was fine, but my experience was quite sour. So please be aware - double check your food and ask for a receipt to ensure you were charged correctly at this store. And yes, I still have a copy of the refund receipt and the updated receipt they printed for me, in case anyone would like to check out the validity of my experience. read more

After being in Hyde Park for three years, I'm truly upset that I just discovered Roti. It is absolutely amazing!!! I love how the rice bowl has so many different textures, flavors, and lots of vegetables so you don't have to feel guilty after eating it. I get the rice bowls with everything on it, because you really can't go wrong here. I especially love the tahini and red pepper sauce. The beet hummus and roasted red pepper hummus are both delicious. However, I do prefer the chicken bowl over the steak, as the latter was a bit dry when I had it. Great portion sizes at an affordable price. I recommend ordering to go on the ubereats app and picking it up if you're not dining in-- it makes the process even smoother. read more

Delicious, healthy, affordable, and fast. A rice bowl with half falafel half chicken and a cup of water was $11. It was a filling meal and everything was good.

Roti was a good option for Mediterranean food, around University of Chicago area. Lot of veggie-options with salad bar and quantity was good... Mediterranean is one of my favorites and compared to other places that I have been, it was all right! Average service, Chipotle style prep etc..falafel balls were not fresh and sauces were ok. If you are in the area and in mood for Mediterranean, while not great, you may not be disappointed, if you try this place! read more

Roti - COLD STEAK...I'm so mad I can blow this mfka up $30 plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Don't waste your money, go next door to chipotle instead. The meat on the rice plate I purchased was dried out and the yogurt was sour.

I love Roti! It is my FAVORITE fast casual restaurant. Think of it like a mediterranean chipotle! 1) The service is excellent. Staff is very friendly, always answers all my questions, and has even let me try samples in the past (EX. when I asked which chicken was better, they gave me a piece of each in a sample cup so that I could decide!) Obviously, you get your food right away, so the process is very quick. 2) Food is EXCELLENT and feels healthy. I absolutely love the roasted veggies, and the falafel are some of my favorites that I've ever had. The pita is also always fresh, and the hummus is good too. I don't love either of the chicken options. Salmon is good. The falafel really is my favorite protein option, though. Cannot emphasize enough how delicious it is. 3) The portions are huge. I usually eat half and save half for another day. This makes it a very cost-effective meal! 4) Students get a 15% off (I think discount) so be sure to use that! Overall, this is a great fast, healthy option, especially if you have lots of different dietary requirements! Great for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free individuals because you can customize your meal! And their meat options are great for meat eaters as well! read more

Roti - Salad bowl with falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I see a lot of negative reviews for customer service, but I actually had a good experience and delicious food. This was my first time and Roti and I'm obsessed with the concept of a "Mediterranean Chipotle." I loved being able to see all of the ingredients and not having a limit on the topics I could choose. Everything tasted really fresh and I loved the variety of toppings. My only question is why is this Mediterranean place called Roti (a type of Indian flatbread)? Two totally different cuisines. read more

Roti - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Why have I never eaten at Roti before? It's pretty much a chipotle version of Mediterranean food. Excellent food, for an excellent price. I love the customized meals! Everyone is happy with their meal. We shared two items and it came out to be $20 for 2 entrees with 2 pita. This was a good deal considering how much food we got and how fresh it tasted. We had a salad with chicken roti and a rice plate with chicken kabobs. Everything was delicious. We tried most of the salads. My favorite things were: chicken kabob green s'hug sauce Fresh vegetables tomato and cucumber salad dill & yogurt sauce I absolutely plan to return! read more

Fresh, fast and flavorful - I really enjoyed Roti! I know Roti to be an Indian dish but this is Roti Modern Mediterranean - this location was my first experience with this fast-casual chain. Nice minimalistic interiors with different seating options, attentive staff and high quality ingredients make this place a winner. The rundown - you start with a base (rice plate, salad, wrap) then customize it with proteins like chicken, steak, salmon or tofu and then veggies and sauces. Both times, I went with the salmon rice bowl. Topping options are unbounded. My fancy - couscous, grilled veggies, red cabbage slaw, a cucumber salad and roasted red pepper sauce. So custom, so delicious! The salmon was seasoned so very well and honestly, I was surprised. My skewer was rolled fresh off of the grill. The only down is that the sauces are like ice cold - so topping the on warm meats kind of puts out the flame. If they could put those under a warmer this would be awesome. Don't sleep on the teas and other drink options they have as well. 4.5 stars - I will be back, to this location and others. read more
