I had the Flip the Bird. It was shockingly flavorful. The char on the chicken was EVERYTHING! SHEER PERFECTION. My only issue is they were out of the tea I wanted I guess. I was sent an unflavored unsweet green tea. Did not know that was a thing. Did not need to know that was a thing... Yuckers... Next time, please call...

Do not order from their website for delivery. Their website is broken and offers delivery to locations outside of the range. We called twice-- once after an hour of waiting and a second time after a second hour of waiting. The first person we spoke to told us the order was on its way... why, I have no idea. Because the second person we spoke to said it was never going to show up. We received no contact and no communication that it was never going to show up. It was left up to us to call and figure it out TWICE after TWO HOURS. Horrible customer service, and its a shame because the food looks good. Unfortunate.

Roti Mediterranean was delicious, colorful and flavorful. When you walk in, the restaurant is spacious and all of the ingredients are displayed at the counter. Ordering is easy and the staff can answer any questions you may have. I did the make your own bowl with half chicken roti and half chicken kebab. I loved the assortment of toppings and dressings you can add to make the bowl yours. I would give 5 stars if the restaurant was cleaner. But overall the food was good and flavorful.

A M A Z I N G! 👌🏼👍🏼 Could seriously eat this everyday. So fresh and tasty. The sauces are delicious as well (mix them up!). The food is very well seasoned and the portions are generous! (There was rice and couscous under the greens in the photo)There’s usually a line during lunch time (totally worth the wait) but order online for faster pickup. I’ve also noticed if you order online they pack more food!

Finally had the opportunity to make it to Roti’s because I love Mediterranean food! The establishment was big and spacious with a menu that has clear instructions on how to order. As I was placing my order, the bowl is being put together in front of you I was quite disappointed by how messy it was coming out. Everything on top of each other with white sauce everywhere.Once I sat and ate I was happy again! First, the bowl is huge! Second everything taste so fresh and the Roti Chicken was very tasty! I highly recommend giving them a try. It’s is filling and fresh.

One of best quick food option, they have some great choices on their menu. The best is the choice of sides for the salad bowl. Service is also satisfactory.

I have to share how incredibly excited that Roti phased out single-use plastic in their take-out containers! Even the top is just tin foil! I think I told every employee in the store that day how much I love them for this move. Not to mention Roti is freaking delicious. That red shug is dreamy. Now I can frequent more often. More shug, less guilt.

Similar service to that of a Chipotle, but better tasting and more flavorful food. Healthier too!We literally stumbled upon this gem and we arrived here just before the crazy lunch time rush. And I say that because by the time we were done ordering the line was out the door!Everything we got was amazing. The meat, the veggies, the sauces, EVERYTHING! We even had leftovers. I wish they would open one like this in Southern California, it would be a hit and Id go there every day.Definitely recommend if you are in town or nearby looking for something new and refreshing.

I always get lunch here when Im at work. Its usually an $11-$12 lunch, but they really pack in the food for you! The Roti chicken is delicious, and their add-ons are all tasty, and not that high in Calories if you are careful. With the Roti app, I will get rewards over time and keep coming back. One lady behind the food counter consistently gives off the vibe that she hates her job but it would otherwise be a 5-star place

I cant say enough positive things about this place! Fresh, delicious food and so many add on options. Its a great lunch option downtown and they give you plenty of food to enjoy. Each time, I have had enough leftover for another meal or at least an evening snack.Some recommendations - the steak, chicken and the lamb meatballs are all really good. If you dont eat meat, dont fret... there are great options and you will also be treated to great flavor.

Roti Mediterranean Grill offers delicious healthy food choices. Great prices for the quality and portion. The staff is amazing! The line can get a little long, but it moves really fast. Long lines just mean the food is great, which it is!! I especially love the roasted veggies and hummus :)

Review №22

My go to spot for a quick lunch; especially prior to meeting with clients. The food is generous for the price in downtown Manhattan. Been here only for lunch; not sure if this would be considered a dinner place. Tried the chicken platters and salmon platters as well. They were both good but definitely not traditional Mediterranean flavors.The side orders are pretty good I enjoy the rice and olives. The veggies is a good option too. I do not like the eggplant though few like its lacking in flavor. Overall good lunch spot; try to come early because by 12:30 line is out the door.

Review №28

Such generous portions and the food was super good. Falafel was not dry at all. Good vegetarian options. I loved that you could choose a bunch of different toppings that you liked. It was kind of like a Subway or Chipotle, but for Mediterranean food. Its very casual vibe, a bit above a fast food place. They sell beer as well as cans of soda for drinks. The servers were nice. Prices pretty good.

I have been to Roti a bunch of times for lunch and love the food. However, I had a different experience when making a large order for a corporate event. I made the order for delivery online for 11 people. One of the orders was incorrect - someone ordered salmon since she cannot eat meat, but her order came with chicken. Not a big deal, mistakes happen.When I called the restaurant to request they send over the correct order, the person I spoke with was very rude and told me they used chicken since they were out of salmon, and to get in touch with the delivery person (through DoorDash) and have them go back and pick it up, then promptly hung up on me.Im not sure how it becomes my responsibility to contact a courier to correct an order that the restaurant got wrong, and I am also surprised that I was not contacted about them being out of salmon. That, combined with the rudeness on the phone, will cause me to think twice about ordering for another corporate event.

Review №31

Crazy line at lunch time, but great options (proteins, sauces, mezzes) to add to a salad or rice bowl. Nothing truly spectacular, but everything is quite good. A salad or rice bowl is HUGE (enough for two) if you load it up with all the options, so good value.

Review №36

The food here is great and not too badly priced, but they need to stop lying about being out of pita pockets. Fix inventory or something. Every time I go during lunch, the darker Latino gentleman behind the counter nearest to the bread and meat always says they dont have anymore pita pockets. I been here more than five times and heard the same thing, all at different times between 12pm and 2pm. One time I pointed out that they did have one and I received the Pita. Pure laziness I say. Please take it off the menu if you truly do not have pita pockets, otherwise serve the customers what theyd like, perhaps we all do not want the laffa wrap.

Review №38

One of my favorite spots in fidi, its definitely a good spot to get Mediterranean food. They dont have Shawarma, but they make up for it with flavorful protein options. You might want to be cautious of going there too early, as locals from The Office Buildings will be swarming the place to get food. But they always have a good selection later into the evening, and I would definitely recommend.

Review №39

With so many other Mediterranean places to choose from, Roti doesn’t stand out. I had the Modern Classic Mediterranean Chopped Salad. The flavor was lacking and the vinegrate wasn’t very good. I may try another dish but seriously I’ll order from Cava before I order from Roti again. Although, truth be told Cava is 3 bucks more than Roti for a salad with grilled chicken.

After my wonderful experiences at Roti-Washington D.C. and Roti-Chicago, I took my family to this restaurant yesterday. It was a complete disappointment. They were all out of the good drinks except the bottled drinks in the fridge. The iced tea containers were empty and dirty. The fountain drinks machine was out of order. The told us they did not have salmon as an option, giving us no reason to stay there...The staff seemed they were not happy to work there. Nobody said anything to help us or offer alternatives. I am very disappointed. Very bad restaurant, stay away.

4 tháng trướcI would beg to differ on these 5-star ratings. We went for brunch. Food wasnt tasty and pricey for what it is. Waitress was dressed in mini skirt, spoke very little English. I have gone to Italian resteraunts and have been served by gents who dress far more modest. Food was very bland, not typical Druze food. Is it necessary to dress like an escort while serving dishes to customers? I found it to be utterly classless. The music was nice, Arabian music and coffee was delicious. Everything else was disgusting. I shant be coming here again.2

Im not normally a fan of falafels but man the ones here are moist and heavenly. I crave them ALL THE TIME. I also love getting the chewy mini pita bread when it comes out fresh. The humus and couscous are great here too but stay away from the eggplant dish. Yuck.

Review №53

Ive got to say that in isolation, Roti is a top notch place for lunch and it runs an efficient ship that makes it almost worth the cost. But when you compare it to nearby Pita Press, its hard to even compare. Sure they have a good selection and the meal itself is tasty, but for $6.25 you can get a delicious falafel or even better zucchini fritter without any of the wait time. Roti does the assembly-line as well as any other, the place is clean, and the service is pretty friendly. Id take it over a good number of places in that area because the vegetarian options are pretty tasty but if you can, head over to Pita Press instead. Youll get far more for your money.

Review №54

ROTI is getting two stars only because the guys that work there are great. Prices went up recently, actually overpriced for a fast food. Paying little less than $16 for one meal (no drink) is a lot when there is nothing special about the place. Recently they dont even bag your food, you have to strugle to bag a food that you pay for. Let alone that they charge over $2 for a can of soda. Unfortunately this will be my VERY last time there.

I eat here at least once a week. I ALWAYS order the chicken roti salad. Their garlic sauce is to die for! The additions that are offered are all so flavorful and fresh. Lunch time there is always a long line but it moves fairly quickly. Btw, if you order the steak please know that they cook it medium rare. I like mine medium well to well done. This is why I only get the chicken . I highly recommend this place.

Roti Modern MediterraneanExcellent option if youre looking for a healthy Mediterranean option. Very affordable (and dont let that make you you think they skimp on the ingredients) and packed full of flavor. Ive gone for the chicken keboob bowl - rice, chicken and fresh veg. Comes with a pita and the hot red sauce is excellent. Really recommend this place - counter service so they build up a bowl to your customization. Staff are really friendly and youre always (well every time ive been) greeted with a smile. Can eat in or take away.

Roti is THE BEST! I love falafel and can truly say this is my favorite falafel of all time. They have a variety of items to add to your bowl or wrap and all of them are so flavorful and fresh. I can confidently say that the food is consistently delicious because I have gone here at minimum once a week for the past six months (since I discovered it) - it’s my #1 food pick when I don’t bring my lunch... or if I have an appetite when I get off work. The prices are very fair especially when considering that the food is fresh, healthy, tasty, and plentiful. The employees are so kind and accommodating I honestly think their kindness makes the food that much better :)

Horrible service today. I was waiting in line for salmon (two more minutes I was told) and the line cook moved my plate down the line. I asked to wait for salmon before continuing with sauce, vegetables, etc., but he just moved me further down the line. I asked the woman who I cam to to please allow me to wit for my salmon before continuing, and then the man from before reached across, grabbed my plate and threw it to back to the beginning of the line. I work 2 blocks away and like the food but now I can never come back )and have informed my whole office to avoid too).
