The move is complete and the new place open on Freedom Drive, which is where the new Naperville Exit ramps on I-88 dump off. Just north of Diehl in the same strip mallish area that houses Maggiano's, Morton's, and a host of lunch places.

Same menu.

Room is basically an open rectangle and LOUD during lunch. Not sure I'd try and hold a conversation in there.

BTW, overheard one of the owners telling someone they're kicking around expansion to either - and this was an odd choice combo - Schaumburg or Chicago.

They should open around the intersection of Monroe and Wacker where all the cool kids are.

How does Naf Naf compare to Pita House? I've only been to the Schaumburg location, but for $5.95 you get more than enough food to fill your gullet. Their fresh hummus is killer.



It's the spending, Stupid!

Much better, IMO. But it's a much smaller menu.

It's worth the trip and only about 15 minutes from the posh YMCA district.

Regarding the menu, I did finally have a chance to try the schnitzel. It was OK but I'd go with the schwarma if its your first time. The kefte is my favorite. The hummus is great and the pita bread is the best I've ever had.

I've never been a fan of falafel so I haven't tried Naf Naf's.

Naf Naf is quickly becoming our favorite place in the area. I think we have tried everything on the menu and everything is flavorful, fresh, tender, spiced just right and wonderful. High marks in the BlueEchoes family. Even the 22 month old thinks they have the best pitas around.

Cripes -- they oughta take over the downtown place on Wells where Tizi Melloul used to be. (The corner storefront just south of Crofton on Wells).

This'd be a great, hip spot for a place like Naf Naf. Upscale move -- but that'd make it interesting.

Tizi Melloul was a great Mediterranean fusion (I hate that word -- but that's what it was, I guess) place with the most amazing fire roasted mussels ever.

If they moved to Monroe and Wacker, they would sandwich themselves between the two downtown Roti locations. Maybe they could open in my office.

Are you a fan of Roti, Clam?

I ask because I'm literally sitting here now with my Roti bag on my desk on my lunch hour -- having polished away a Roti from the one by the Willis Tower.

But good god -- $9 for a sandwich? First time eating there. Expensive as heck for a lunch. What happened to a $1.50 falafel wrapped in butcher's paper?

And, man, what's the deal with restaurants that ask you questions? I don't care what you put on it -- I don't care -- just make your best sandwich and give it to me. All I care about is that it's good. You're making the food, not me -- so make it taste like you mean it.

I walk down the #*$*$% line in this loud place, and I hear question after question. "You want this? What about this? Some of these? That? How much? Okay, and this?" That's not choice -- that's fast food oppression.

I said, yeah yeah -- just put it all on. Whatever. Just make it good. They were thoroughly confused -- and then asked if I wanted hot sauce.

Roti has always been ridiculously expensive. But, it is very close to being worth it.
