  • I tried Naf Naf tonight and it was...ok. This is pretty much Mediterranean Chipotle. You pick a bowl or a pita and fill it with meat (chicken or beef), rice, veggies, and sauces. Instead of paying extra for guacamole, you pay extra for hummus. I had a rice bowl combo with chicken, pickles, onions, "garlic sauce" (yogurt based?), hummus, the hotter of their two hot sauces, and a size of Naf fries. This came with a nice sized piece of pita bread and a soda. The pros: - it's a nice space. -Everyone was friendly and helpful. We'll see if this lasts. - Their hot sauce is actually hot. Not ghost pepper hot, but definitely hotter than Chipotle or Qdoba's hottest salsas. - It filled me up and tasted pretty good overall. The cons: - It was massively, massively overpriced. The combo came in at something like $13.50. For 7 bucks I can get a falafel and drink at Banzo or a delicious meal at Mediterranean cafe. This wasn't as good as either of those places, so why should I pay almost twice as much? - The flavor was decent, butting was a bit salty, greasy, and lacking in depth. -Naf fries were a disappointment. They're not fries. They're freshly cooked chips. Not bad, but I'd prefer fries. -Nutritionally, it was a disaster. It came in at almost 1200 calories, 54 grams of fat, and 1450 mg of sodium. It was a big meal to be sure, but if I'm wracking up those kinds of numbers, I want to feel like I've indulged in something decadent. This didn't feel like that. I'd love to use this place as a quick lunch option, but I can't unless I want my waistline to expand. The real pity is that it doesn't need to be so damn unhealthy. Cutting down on grease and salt would make it taste better, not worse. Edit: So after giving this place three stars I ended up eating there every day this week. That alone justifies a bump up to four stars. I don't know what it is about their chicken shwarma pita, but I really, really like it. Nutritionally, this is a much better option than the rice bowl, especially if you avoid the fries. I'm also happy to report that they are more than willing to give you extra toppings on request. Just don't get tricked into the combo: it's a total ripoff.
