Naf Naf Restaurant Review: The buzz about this counter-service joint centers largely around one thing: puffy house-made pita that’s plucked from the oven throughout the day. For the record, they’re good all on their own, and you won’t find a better version in the city or beyond. When used to envelop the moist, flavorful beef tenderloin or schnitzel sandwiches --- the latter a product of the presence of European Jews in Israel --- they’re even better. Hummus is a bit of a letdown --- heavy on the tahini, light on lemon and garlic --- but the Israeli salad, a sprightly mix of chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs, is first-rate. All the basics are offered, like falafel, kebabs and baklava; less common is the offering of purple cabbage salad.
