The Naf Naf chain was founded in 2009 in the Chicago suburbs by the late Sahar Sander, who wanted to introduce customers to authentic handmade recipes true to his Middle Eastern upbringing.
It served chicken shawarma, falafel and pita bread made daily in the restaurant s bakery. Customers stood in line and moved down an assembly line choosing ingredients they wanted in pitas or bowls. The restaurant had a seating area and offered food to go.
The Stanton restaurant was Naf Naf s first Delaware location in a new retail and restaurant complex off Churchmans Road that includes First Watch and Chipotle Mexican Grill.
