The tahini and garlic sauces go well together, and even the milder of the two hot sauces packs a surprise punch. Customers are given a choice of Naf Naf’s hummus or baba ghanoush, which is spread inside the pita.

The only gripes I had about the sandwiches were that it took too many bites to get down to the meat, and the pita had a tendency to break apart under the weight of all the ingredients and the way the sauce soaked into the bread.

Fries are $2.49 or come as a combo with a fountain drink for an extra $2.99. You can also get yellow basmati rice or a decent lentil soup for the same combo price.

Naf Naf fries are a cross between fries and chips, shaped more like cottage fries, but cut mostly in half moons, some stuck together. They were a perfect combination of soft and crisp; some soft, others crisp. And my order had just a hint of salt, which is how more restaurants should serve fries.

The soup, by contrast, was saltier. Just adequate, it was a greenish-yellow color, the same shade as some split pea soups.
