— September 6, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Naf Naf Grill Spiced Meatballs are making their way to participating locations as a new option for consumers to try out that's packed with authentic taste and texture for patrons to enjoy this fall. The menu item starts off with 100% beef that has been slow-braised in a tomato-based sauce infused with seasonings like cumin, paprika, sumac and a touch of cinnamon to impart elements of Middle Eastern cuisine. The meatballs are great for being enjoyed in your choice of meal or on their own for a new take on a classic.

Chief Marketing Officer Nico Nieto commented on the Naf Naf Grill Spiced Meatballs saying, "At Naf Naf Grill, our mission is to Share A Meal, to invite guests to the rich tapestry of Middle Eastern flavors through approachable, familiar and beloved dishes, like our NEW Spiced Meatballs! They combine the warmth of traditional spices with the nostalgic comfort of a classic dish, creating a unique fusion that appeals to both seasoned food lovers and those new to our cuisine.”
