Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Enjoyed a meal here while visiting Chicago a couple of years ago. This visit was just a good. I had the vegetarian rice bowl with falafel...so good. My husband enjoyed the chicken bowl. I love that you can choose many different salads and sauces. My...daughter who lives in Chicago loves the food here.More

Chicken Roti Salad ($9.05) was a filling choice for lunch. also the Chicken Kabob Sandwich ($8.25). Soft pita to help mop up the sauces. Plenty of seating area. Friendly staff.

Stopped in for lunch and shared the chicken flatbread which was surprisingly good. We eat a light lunch, so it was ample for two of us to share. Not sure what to make of the curry dusted pita chips, only also. Service was quick. Will...return to have one of their salads or rice dishes.More

At 4999 Old Orchard Center in the Westfield Mall, Skokie, this location of the chain is excellent. Lots of parking in the mall. Choice of salmon, steak, falafel, or two chicken options; salad + rice vs salad vs pita sandwich; lots of optional add-ons such...as hummus and roasted vegetables. Priced from $7 to 10 this is a large healthy meal that is delicious. Seating for about 30 wasn’t an issue and no delay in ordering; staff were friendly and informed. There are many places to eat in this large mall, but Roti is among the best if you are interested in a healthy filling Mediterranean meal that need not consume a great deal of time.More

This location is clean and staffed with friendly employees. Line *usually* moves rather quickly but sometimes that depends on how slow the customers make their choices. The chicken roti is really good and flavorful. The salmon and falafel are decent but not anything special. Personally,...I thought the steak was just awful. I could only take a few bites and had to throw the rest away. They also serve salads and lamb. I never eat lamb and the salads didn't appear appetizing. I'll stop by once in a while to grab a chicken pita but overall Roti doesn't blow me away like it does a lot of other people.More

Recently went to Roti. We enjoy the choices of the Mediterranean food. Staff is friendly and fast. We have tried the sandwiches and the salads and have never had a bad choice.

My husband and I had never been to a Roti before so we asked the young man behind the counter just how it worked. It was difficult to hear him due to music & not sure why else. He kind of explained how the food...service worked. He was seemingly the only person "on the line" and it was 6 p.m.--dinner-time. There was another young man (the manager?) dong some cooking in the kitchen just to the side of the serving line. There was also a young woman who was finishing a to-go order and then busied herself refilling the plastic silverware--instead of waiting on customers; by this time there were about 6 hungry patrons in line. (Dinner-time remember?) We eventually got our food; falafel in pita + a salad and a freshly-made (i saw it being made) chicken in a wrap with hand-selected veggies. Two additional possible red-flags that may need to be addressed by upper management: 1) a salmon skewer was sitting out when we arrived; I don't know if it had been there for 5 minutes or 1/2 hour but I sure wasn't going to eat it, and 2) the container of humus, which was nearly empty, was replaced by a fresh one--however, the young woman who replaced it emptied the older product on top of the new one--eww. So, the food is good and healthy. We will return (a la General McArthur), but I hope they get their act together.More

Salads, kabobs and wraps are all freshly made and yummy. We had salmon, chicken and falafels and everyone enjoyed their meal. When asked which type of greens we wanted, we asked for a combination rather than choosing just one type. They were happy to accommodate...the request. It was busy during the lunch hour and we got the last table available.More

Most chain restaurants feature high fat, high calorie, low nutrition fare. This place is different. Here one can order a very healthful meal that is both tasty and satisfying. I highly recommend it.

My wife and I had driven by several of these restaurants in the area and, as fans of Mediterranean food (falafel, roasted meats, salads, etc.), we knew we were bound to have to stop and try one some day. After eating here, we were VERY...glad we did (and have eaten there again, since). The ordering process will be familiar to anyone who has been to a Chipotle - select your base (rice, salad or wrap), then your protein (falafel, chicken, lamb, etc.) and then walk down the counter, letting your server know which of the many accompanying items you'd like - veggies, spreads, cous-cous, cheese, etc.. You then walk over to check out, select a beverage (sodas, teas, beer, etc.) and you're on your way, They have a decent-sized dining area and we had no problems finding a place to sit and enjoy our meals. I had the falafel plate with rice (really, really good) while my wife enjoyed the lamb meatballs (she was very happy with those as well). The salads are well-prepared, portions are fair for the money, and the specialty teas were excellent (try the carrot ginger - wow). Service was fast and friendly - everything you could want in a place like this. Eager to go back and try more of the menu.More

My oh my, the sojourn between this review and the last one has been quite long hasn't it? Anywho, this restaurant is very similar to a Golden Corral in terms of obtaining your food. However, you select the vast amount of options available for your...meal and a employee prepares the meal for you. The employee that served us wasn't top notch because she was kind of impatient with me because I "took too long" because I don't eat Mediterranean cuisine all that much. The pita sandwich that I had with chicken inside was pretty delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed my visit here. The only thing I can suggest for Roti is to try and be more patient with those who don't visit the place so often.More

Falafel, wraps and kebabs are the star of this fast restaurant. Seems that portion sizes have been downsized of late for the puffy pita and the scoops of sides, but very delicious crispy falafel and tender kabobs. All fresh salad items made in-house. Reasonable prices....Also a great pita pizza that's not just for the kids.More

Great mediterranean food, with the option of ordering large portions for catering a party. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. Will definitely be going there again, either for myself personally or to order large portions for a party.
