CHICAGO, IL (February 16, 2011)- Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked pita bread, robust Mediterranean flavors, rotisserie meats searing and caramelizing, innovative toppings galore, and healthy options in a casual dining experience - sounds, smells, and tastes like Roti Mediterranean Grill! Taking on the D.C. metro area with six new locations, it won’t be hard to find and fall for Roti’s food that loves you back.

Already an award-winning staple in the Chicago food scene, Roti will be expanding throughout Washington D.C. in early spring and summer 2011. Adding to its overwhelmingly popular Pennsylvania Avenue spot, Roti will open in Constitution Square in late February, followed by L’Enfant Plaza in April, and George Washington University in May, 1629 K Street in June, and Bethesda in July. In celebration of the launches, the chain is giving away FREE Roti for a year to one lucky customer at each respective location.

Mark Pearson, a D.C. local and Roti’s Director of Operations who has witnessed Roti’s growth first hand, noted how natural it is for the company to expand in this market. “This is one of the most food -savvy and health conscious cities in the country.  Our healthy Mediterranean menu has struck a chord with customers downtown and we are thrilled to be able to expand throughout the District and beyond."

So how does Roti roll? Expect a modern Mediterranean experience with a speedy line, nutritious options, exceptional service, and major value. Staying true to their “Food That Loves You Back” motto, the eatery dishes out casual, tasty and healthful Mediterranean cuisine, known for its abundant use of olive oil, vegetables and legumes. Emphasizing robust flavors, Roti serves freshly-cut, fire-roasted meats, traditional side dishes such as falafel and hummus, and classic favorites like the Chicken Roti Sandwich and the Mediterranean Chopped Chicken Salad.

Roti Mediterranean Grill also strives to extend goodwill to its customers and community. Running on a customers-come-first mentality, regulars are rewarded through loyalty programs both in-store and through social media by offering valuable information and updates as well as free giveaways. The chain also prides itself on community involvement and is a proud partner of Common Threads, a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate children on the importance of nutrition and physical well- being through cooking. Roti is thrilled to support an organization with a shared commitment of giving back to communities and looks forward to furthering this association through local efforts in the D.C. area.
With a choice-driven menu that is reasonably priced, Roti sets out to bring the best Med-inspired cuisine to each of its local neighborhood locations. Although it is the ideal grab-and-go spot for a person on the run, Roti has also offer a fresh take on catering in the DC market.  With Tasting Room Platters and Sandwich Spreads, this is food that lights up a whole room. So whether it’s a happening at home, a meeting at the office or anything in between, Roti can provide delicious food that feels good for any number and every occasion.
