CHICAGO (Oct. 28, 2026) – Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill, the fast-casual brand making fresh Middle Eastern cuisine a mainstream favorite, is bringing its signature flavors somewhere new: straight into a bag of Stacy’s® Pita Chips. Starting Wednesday, Oct. 28, guests at all 38 Naf Naf locations nationwide can order the Walking Shawarma, a Middle Eastern twist on the classic walking taco. The new limited-time item turns crispy, oven-baked Stacy’s® Pita Chips into a grab-and-go option, loaded with their choice of Naf’s protein, toppings and sauces.
The Walking Shawarma is made the Naf way, customized to each guest’s liking. Guests start with a bag of Stacy’s® Pita Chips, then build it out with proteins like Naf Naf’s award-winning chicken shawarma, roasted in house on a vertical spit, along with their favorite fresh toppings and house-made sauces. The result is the full Naf experience in a handheld you can take anywhere.
“The Walking Shawarma is exactly the kind of innovation we love to bring to our guests,” said Grady Metoyer, CFO and Interim CEO of Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill. “Pita is at the heart of everything we do, so teaming up with Stacy’s® Pita Chips is a natural fit for us. Our menu and marketing teams took a fan favorite like the walking taco and made it unmistakably Naf, and I’m incredibly proud of the creativity they brought to this. It’s fun, it’s craveable, and it’s a whole new way to Fan the Flame of flavors our guests already love.”
The Walking Shawarma costs $8.95 and is available for a limited time at all Naf Naf locations, through early 2027. Guests can order it in-restaurant or online at nafnafgrill.com starting October 28. It comes to third-party delivery platforms in November.
Naf Naf will celebrate the Walking Shawarma with a launch party in the Chicago area this November, open to the public. Event details will be announced soon. Follow Naf Naf on social media @nafnafgrill for updates.
