About

About Naf Naf Grill

Naf Naf Grill was founded in 2009 in Naperville, Illinois, by Israeli entrepreneurs who wanted to bring the street-food flavors of the Middle East to American fast-casual dining. The name "Naf Naf" is an onomatopoeia for the fanning of a charcoal fire — a nod to the chain's commitment to fresh, flame-kissed cooking. From a single suburban Chicago location, the brand expanded steadily throughout the Midwest before spreading into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.

The menu is built around a short list of high-quality ingredients executed with precision: slow-roasted chicken and beef-and-lamb shawarma cooked on a rotating spit, hand-rolled falafel made from scratch each morning, and freshly baked pitas pulled from the oven throughout the day. Guests order at a counter-service line, choosing from pitas, rice bowls, or salad bowls and then layering on toppings from the tabbouleh, Israeli salad, pickled turnips, and a trio of house sauces — creamy tahini, fiery green zhug, and fluffy garlic toum.

By the mid-2020s Naf Naf Grill had grown to more than 40 locations concentrated in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, and Texas, with continued expansion planned. The chain occupies a distinct niche in the crowded fast-casual landscape: more authentic and ingredient-focused than mainstream competitors, yet faster and more accessible than sit-down Middle Eastern restaurants. Its loyal following particularly prizes the quality of the shawarma and the depth of flavor in its house-made sauces.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Naf Naf Grill halal?

Naf Naf Grill's proteins — including chicken shawarma and beef & lamb shawarma — are sourced from halal-certified suppliers. However, halal certification status can vary by location and supplier contract, so it's best to confirm directly with your local restaurant if halal certification is important to you.

What is shawarma at Naf Naf Grill?

Shawarma at Naf Naf Grill refers to seasoned meat (chicken or beef & lamb) slow-roasted on a vertical spit and shaved to order. The spice blend is a proprietary Middle Eastern mix including cumin, turmeric, and coriander. It's served in pitas, rice bowls, or salad bowls.

Does Naf Naf Grill have vegetarian options?

Yes. The falafel pita and falafel rice or salad bowls are fully plant-based when ordered without dairy-based sauces. The hummus, tabbouleh, Israeli salad, and pita chips are also vegan. Many toppings and the zhug and tahini sauces are vegan as well.

What is zhug sauce at Naf Naf Grill?

Zhug (also spelled schug or zhoug) is a Yemenite hot sauce made from fresh cilantro, jalapeño or serrano peppers, garlic, and spices. At Naf Naf it is the spiciest of the three house sauces and adds a bright, herbaceous heat to bowls and pitas. If you like heat, ask for extra.

How much does a meal cost at Naf Naf Grill?

A typical meal — pita or bowl with a drink — runs roughly $13–$15. Pitas and bowls range from about $9.99 (falafel pita) to $11.49 (beef & lamb or half & half options). Sides add $2–$5. Kids pitas start around $6.99. Prices vary by location.

Does Naf Naf Grill have gluten-free options?

Naf Naf Grill can accommodate gluten-sensitive guests to a degree. The rice bowls and salad bowls without pita are naturally lower in gluten, and proteins, Israeli salad, tabbouleh (note: contains bulgur wheat), and most sauces are gluten-free. However, the restaurant bakes pitas on-site and cross-contamination is possible, so it is not recommended for those with celiac disease without speaking to staff first.

Where are Naf Naf Grill locations?

Naf Naf Grill has 40+ locations concentrated in the greater Chicago metropolitan area (Illinois), as well as Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Texas, and several other states. The chain was founded in Naperville, IL, and the Midwest remains its core market. Use the restaurant locator at nafnafgrill.com to find the nearest location.

Can I order Naf Naf Grill online or for catering?

Yes. Naf Naf Grill offers online ordering through its website and select third-party delivery apps including DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub at participating locations. Catering packages are also available for group orders, featuring trays of shawarma, falafel, sides, pita bread, and sauces. Contact your local restaurant or visit nafnafgrill.com for catering details.

What makes Naf Naf Grill different from Cava or Chipotle?

While Cava and Chipotle follow a similar assembly-line customization model, Naf Naf Grill distinguishes itself with a shorter, more ingredient-focused menu rooted in authentic Levantine cooking traditions. The freshly baked in-house pita bread, the slow-roasted vertical spit shawarma, and house-made falafel prepared daily set it apart from chains that rely more heavily on pre-processed components. The flavor profile — tahini, zhug, Israeli salad — is distinctly Middle Eastern rather than Mediterranean-fusion.
