I always bring my food to work each day. Except for Friday’s or special lunches. Working in the city, you could easily spend $20-$30 a day if you ate breakfast, lunch, coffee out each day. Crazy!
I got on the train and quickly realized – I forgot my lunch. It was either on the kitchen counter, or in my car. When I returned from work, there was my lunch bag, in the car where I left it. Doh!
Um, turns out I got busy and had an unexpected intermittent fasting! I didn’t leave for lunch until 12:30 so I went from 8:00 the previous night not eating anything but a cup of coffee.
My sister had lunch plans with a co-worker (rude I wasn’t invited – kidding!) so I took advantage to try the Pick 2 menu at Naf Naf Grill.
You can pick two proteins and then a little bit of everything else: basmati rice, hummus, chopped salad, tabouli salad and their fluffy pita bread. I could literally eat 5 of those they are so good!
Chicken sharwarma cooking on the spit – it smelled so good!
I made the decision to get the chicken and steak – it’s so much food it was lunch yesterday and lunch today. I counted my half serving plate as 10 points because of the half pita and the sauces. And yes, I have a chef knife at my office. 😀
The garlic sauce is so good, and that darker sauce is their “normal” spicy sauce, which is called S’khug sauce – so flavorful spicy!
It’s super fresh and delicious – they have five locations in the city and about 12 in the surrounding suburbs – you can find the location nearest to you here.
I remembered to grab my train snack from my desk. I walk through the French Market on the way home every.single.day and am tempted with macaroons, cupcakes, gummy bears, chocolate covered nuts – you name it, they have it.
I ate these chips with some water and it held me until I got home to make dinner. These 1 ounce bags are perfect for lunches, snacks, I love that it’s portion controlled too – I’ve been known to eat nearly a whole bag without even thinking about it. It’s 110 calories or 3 WW points.
Don’t forget to use my discount code Biz25 to save 25% off your order – if you spend more than $20 you even get free shipping! The Honeycrisp Apple granola hasn’t sold out . . . yet – I’ve done the math and if you buy 5 bags, you get free shipping – I think its around $22 after my discount and the granola has a shelf life of several month unopened.

Happy Wednesday friends – make it a great day!
Hi Biz! I’m reading through your older blog posts today and came across this Naf Naf one. I live in Colorado now and we don’t have Naf Naf or anything worth mentioning that I’ve found quite yet. Would love to see your take on some Naf Naf items especially the garlic sauce and chicken!
I miss Naf Naf too now that I don’t work downtown! Those pitas were so fluffy! I’ll work on the chicken and garlic sauce! 😀
