Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill is a fast-casual restaurant with friendly helpful staff.
I ate at the Independence location. When I asked about gluten free options I was shown the Allergy Guide. Staff changed gloves. Note that most of the menu items are gluten free. Exceptions include the pita and couscous and baklava. The chicken shwarma and amba sauce are noted to be processed in a facility where trace elements of the allergen are present. And the listing has an expected caveat that no guarantees are made and cross contact may occur.
I enjoyed a tasty bowl with hummus, falafel and all the salads and garnishes. Both the tahini and garlic sauces were terrific, though I was happy with my bowl sauceless.
I was told the Naf Fries are prepared in a dedicated fryer. Might try them on my next visit.
A recent visit was a disappointment and I left without getting any food. I watched as orders were made with a piece of pita bread in a bowl and the various toppings were placed on top with obvious risk of the serving utensils touching the pita and then being place back into the serving container. When I asked about gluten free I was offered a laminated allergy card. I asked about avoiding cross contact and the server did not know what I meant and did not care.
Ordered on the app and picked it up in the store. The delicious hummus bowl had lots of tasty toppings. Plenty of food for 2 meals or to share.
Lentil soup was warming on a cold winter day. Also had felafel and baba ganoush. Sadly gluten eating companion declared the pita was the best part of the meal.
