A Roti Mediterranean Grill location is planning to open on the ground floor of 1501 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn come January, a spokesperson said today.

The new restaurant is expected to open on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2012. It will be the Chicago-based chain’s first Virginia location, although it currently has half a dozen locations open in the District of Columbia.

“Rosslyn is the perfect location for the Mediterranean-inspired, fast, casual, tasty and healthy food because of the amazing community filled with hip, active and health conscious professionals,” the company’s PR rep said in an email. “By serving ‘food that loves you back,’ Roti is the perfect meal option for the residents and businesses in the area.”

Roti’s menu includes stuffed pitas, wraps, salads and Mediterranean platters. “Meat” options include chicken, steak and falafel. Toppings include hummus, baba ghannoush and cous-cous, among others.

To celebrate the opening, Roti will be raffling off a year’s worth of free lunches to one lucky winner. Interested diners can sign up on the restaurant’s website. Roti is also planning a “free lunch day” fundraiser for the charity Adoptions Together from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17.
