Naf Naf Grill

This place is really just okay at best. The hummus is very bland and so is tahini. I’ll admit the falafels are good, but that’s really the only point I can give it. The veggies could be from Chipotle for all I know, and the rice appears to have turmeric in it but you cannot taste it at all. Naf naf is to Mediterranean food as Natural Light is to beer— flavorless. They seem to really advertise the fact that the chicken shawarma is indeed “real shawarma” as its cut from a doner kebab machine, though that’s really the absolute minimum if you’re going to call it shawarma. I heard great things about it so I really was expecting more. But the falafels are good! Mediterranean Café is down the street and has homemade specials...

One of state streets all time favorite and affordable place. Ordered a falafel veggie bowl and enjoyed each bite of it. The staff is super friendly and makes sure we get fresh ingredients and cooked falafels. Good for me the place had enough customized and sides options that are vegan and vegetarian. Make sure to try the Baba ghanoush, one of my favorites. Highly recommended comfort, affordable cuisine.

These guys have the best falafels I've ever had! They pair perfectly with the garlic and tahini sauces. You don't really need anything more in your dish! Their pita bread are always warm and fluffy, only wish they'd use whole wheat flour instead of white flour. The hummus is also really good, but sometimes it depends on the day. I had this for dinner 2 days in a row, and would have gone back the next day had I not left Madison. I also really like their salad bowl with chicken, onions, garlic and tahini. Great combination!
