The national Mediterranean franchise Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill is mulling a potential Orlando location, according to franchisee Bassam Fares who made the declaration in a recent Restaurant News press release.
Founded in 2009 by Sahar Sander, the chain seeks to convert the middle eastern dining experience into a made-to-order fast casual concept. Customers may build their own bowl, pita, or salad with rice, lettuce, hummus, shawarma, falafel, cabbage, and more.
According to the release, “Naf is making fresh Middle Eastern cuisine a mainstream favorite across the United States. Inspired by tradition, Naf’s genuine hospitality paired with handmade dishes derived from Old World recipes create a welcoming atmosphere where guests are invited to fan the flame of culinary exploration. Every order is customized to the guest’s liking with choices of top-quality meats, like its award-winning Chicken Shawarma roasted on a vertical spit, to freshly ground falafel and pillowy pita baked in-restaurant throughout the day. Naf is headquartered in Chicago with 30 locations nationwide.”
What Now Orlando reached out to Mr. Fares to inquire about his potential plans, but he was not immediately available for comment.
