Naf Naf Grill

Naf Naf Grill

Naf Naf Grill is a small, modern place that almost looks like any other counter-serve restaurant to grab a quick lunch. What sits this grill apart is their open kitchen allowing customers to see what they are getting: freshly baked pitas that serve as pockets for sandwiches; seasonal, fresh vegetables and home-made sauces; perfectly cooked falafels; and finely shaved chicken or beef shawarma. Showing guests how the food is made is the best possible way to introduce Mid-Eastern cuisine to the people of Rosemont. You’ll easily become hooked on the delicious, slightly spicy concoctions. If you prefer, you can skip the pita and have your meal on a bed of rice or salad. More ideas: Romantic Getaways in Illinois
