Great food here, one of the only rotis left. The food is very fresh and delicious. I recommend trying the falafel with the tahini sauce.

Ok experience. First off, the price is a bit outrageous for what it is. The bowls are not very big. The food was fine, nothing special. I had a steak pita and it was pretty good but the toppings were layered in it so I was basically only eating one topping at a time. My biggest complaint is that I ordered vinaigrette as a sauce for one of the bowls and didn’t receive it. I understand if they were out of it but would have appreciated if they let me know that.

My favorite Rōti location! Their food is always fresh and good quality. Haven’t gotten the name of this gentleman who works there. He’s super friendly and sweet every time I visit. Pleasant experiences so far.

I am so sad this place is only in Chicago! A Mediterranean bowl restaurant like Chipotle I was impressed. The food was delicious, tasted fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The staff was extremely friendly, patient, and answered all our questions. I had leftovers as usual, and they tasted great the next day. On my next trip to Chicago, I would eat here at least once a day.

Roti used to be my quick, healthy go-to spot for lunch. In the past couple months this place has dropped their quality dramatically! Also it's a constant revolving door. Service is at its worst, lady gave me and my wife attitude when asked about the beverages and why the tractor supply co lemonades are down. When looking at them the drinks were almost rotten from the day before. Granted we came around lunch time which gives the staff plenty of time to get them ready. The food it self was over cooked with some rice kernels still dry/undercooked. Roasted red pepper sauce WATERED DOWN. Falafel have never been dryer. Other roti places have slightly better quality but I feel in the past year Roti as a whole is going downhill.

Stopped in for lunch while in the area. Online menu says "hummus" and "lamb meatballs"...SOLD! I'M THERE! Unfortunately, they no longer serve the lamb meatballs - so that was a disappointment. Other than that, the food was quite good. I had a chicken pita with cabbage tomatoes, hummus, cucumber...just a bunch of stuff. Pita was packed, yet relatively easy to chomp into! Every topping seemed to have great flavor in the pita. I feel like a bit more chicken was needed, i was still hungry after the sandwich...for a while! Ill prob stop again to try a bowl next. Nothing mind-blowing, but it is a nice Mediterranean twist on Chipotle. The place looked great tho, interuor design was a 10. Be sure to hit a thumbs up if u found this review helpful.

Can I give six stars?

Years ago I wasn't impressed with Roti's menu and stopped eating there. I decided to give them a second chance about a year ago, I'm so glad I did.

Roti serves fresh, flavorful, satisfying Mediterranean food. I especially love the cauliflower rice option and the garbanzo bean salad, which makes every bowl and sandwich delicious. Also worth trying are their grilled veggies.

During my last visit, my server was especially attentive and engaging. Little did I know that I was talking to Roti's culinary director, Layla. She is responsible for the menu in all of their restaurants.

Bursting with energy and enthusiasm, she educated me on their chicken (farm raised and organic!) and where they drew inspiration for their menu. She accompanies the CEO on a trip to Jerusalem every year to immerse themselves in Middle Eastern food. She even showed me pictures of the food and restaurants at which they ate.

Now I understand why their food is so good: it's authentic, high quality, and inspired by a love of great food.
