Chicago-based Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill is opening by year's end in Greenfield, Wisconsin, 1 minute from the Southridge Mall near the Franklin and Hales Corner communities.

"New restaurant openings are always an exciting moment for us and a reason to celebrate! We are happy to bring more restaurants to Wisconsin and are very proud to see such a passionate and committed group continue to share the table and bring our Middle Eastern flavors and hospitality to everyone," Greg Willman, CEO of Naf Naf Grill, said in a company press release.

With two other Wisconsin locations in Brookfield and Madison, the Greenfield Naf Naf marks the third restaurant opening for Mama's Restaurant Group, a franchisee of Naf Naf Grill. It marks the 39th location systemwide for the brand.

"We've given adventurous Wisconsin eaters in Madison and Brookfield a taste of Naf Naf's Authentic Middle Eastern Food," Danny Madanes, CEO of Mama's Restaurant Group, said in the release. "Now we're excited to open our first restaurant in Milwaukee County where we will continue to introduce Wisconsinites to the flavors of the Middle East."
