I love Naya's toppings, like picked turnips, Garlic Toum and a bunch of others. Even more than the meat! I had a beef shawarma with my toppings. Added some falafel and that was a great combination. read more

NAYA - Lebanese Near Me - New York, New York

$13 for a cauliflower salad with all the veggie toppings. So flavorful with the hummus, cheese, and pickled onions that I went without dressing. Right-sized too: Usually with Just Salad and Sweetgreen I'm taking home leftovers, which is fine too. I came in at 11 am, and all the staff were busy with their lunch rush orders: The prep cook in the back cutting up some meat had to call a colleague over. It's a better ambiance than Chipotle where you can see everybody in the restaurant. One star off for no composting option yet. read more

NAYA - Cauliflower salad with all the fixings and without the pita bread offered. My own chopsticks from home. - Lebanese Near Me - New York, New York

First time trying this Lebanese food chain and it exceeds my expectations! Location: It is located along Madison Avenue behind St. Patricks cathedral. There are few seatings inside. Service: it is a step by step process. Not that much interaction cause you just have to tell them which choices you want. Food: I got the Naya Bowl. And it was the best. It is a step by step process so here is what I got. STEP 1: you can choose naya roll, naya bowl or naya salad. I chose the bowl cause it has rice with vermicelli. STEP 2: choose 2 meats. I chose beef shawarma which is super tender and flavorful. The second meat was kafta lamb kebab, it was 2 pieces but it was delicious, very moist inside its like a small patty burger. STEP 3: choose toppings. I chose hummus, tahini, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, feta cheese, chopped romaine. I got also pistachio baklava and their warm feta bread on the side. This is a must! Price rating: 7/10 price range. It was not bad, I paid $19 for naya bowl, baklava and bread. I will definitely come back here to try the other choices. read more

I ordered a wrap at 11:15. Show up at 12 and waited 40 minutes only to end up getting a refund. After waiting that long it should have been free. This is the second time in 2 weeks that this has happened at this location. read more

Delicious food and great customer service! Stopped by after some shopping on 5th ave wore me out and this was exactly what I needed.

Submitted a to-go order and the entire process went smoothly. If you ever go through this process, don't hesitate to register for their rewards program. In my case, and because it was my first online order, my $10.99 salad was $6.00. The interior is clean, has nice decor, and the staff members are quick to serve. I ordered the Falafel Salad and it was VERY GOOD. The tahini sauce covered the entire salad and made the entire meal delicious and enjoyable. I look forward to future healthy meals from Naya and recommend it to every Yelper. read more

Came here with a friend and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's a fast casual location reminiscent of Chipotle. Although I'd say it's better than the latter. I used to be a regular at a place that's very similar to Naya. When I saw the offerings I already had an idea of what I was going to order. I order a half lettuce half rice bowl. With half beef and half chicken. My toppings were extensive. I was actually surprised on what was available and the unlimited selections. What I ended up with was a very fulfilling rice bowl. Aside from that I got two appetizers. Sambousik and rekakat, they were both very good but too similar. Not sure which one I liked better. Rekakat was basically a spring roll filled with gooey cheese and the sambousik was a cheese filled pastry. They were good but I wouldn't order from them again unless they were cheaper. All in all, I enjoyed my meal and would come back here. read more

I ran in here last minute for a snack, considering I was out of Manhattan really late and they had really great appetizer options. I got some sort of beef ball, which was the perfect little snack that I needed just to keep myself holding over before my long train ride home. the staff were extremely sweet and professional. Both the kitchen space and the tables were really clean so I appreciated that. read more

As Naya has grown from a couple of locations into a chain, the quality has dropped. It's sad, maybe inevitable, or maybe the investors behind the expansion cutting costs. The basic stuff is getting worse. The pitas. The hummus. The baba ghannouj. All were glorious just a few months ago, Now the hummus lacks flavor, the consistency of the baba gelatinous, the pitas are sticky and/or with hard spots. Boo! read more

It's not the staff's fault that there is no bathroom. But when my Naya wrap leaked all over me, Jose (the manager) refused to - provide a cup of water - provide a bowl of water - let me use the sink - let me give him my sweatshirt for him to run water on in the sink This doesn't need to be so hard. Simply put, there are not good people read more

i went to the location down the street but it was closed or not open yet. this was around the corner from the direction i was comming from. this was legit the best meal ive had in nyc! i got a bowl with beef & lamb. with hummus,garlic sauce, and tzatzki (sorry spelled it wrong) was just super flavorful. meat seemed juicy. im pretty impressed. $19 cant beat that! i got the baklava. it wasnt really good but im gonna be sad when i leave. read more

I was doubtful after seeing reviews, but the restaurant proved them wrong. Their plating technique makes the food more appetizing. The service was good quality and the staff member paid attention to our needs. Thanks. They keep food descriptions clear and simple. We're content with our choice to eat here. read more

Very good quality food. Very fresh service is quick and very friendly. Falafel is really good.

I was looking for someplace to have a late lunch and found Naya, which was a few doors down from my office. The lunch rush was over so there was only one person ahead of me when I walked in. I ordered a bowl with half chicken shish taouk and half falafel over freeka with lettuce, tomato, hummus, baba ghannouj, onions with sumac, cucumbers, pickled turnips and lemon tahini. The portion was pretty substantial and I loved that they had so many options to choose from. The chicken was juicy and tender. The falafel was just a bit dry, but generally okay. The hummus was so creamy! The different textures and flavors made this dish so much more than your standard chicken with rice. The vegetables were so crisp and fresh. I found the space to be clean and the staff to be welcoming and friendly. The lines are usually quite long during prime lunch hours but it's worth it. For around $11 this was a great value. Naya is better than CAVA. I will be back! read more

Delicious, fast, friendly service for a very fair price. Laid back ambiance. It's like the yumminess of the "chicken over rice" you find in food vending carts all over the streets of NYC but.... Elevated. You can see and feel the quality of their ingredients. Can't beat this deal. read more

All of the food was so fresh and delicious! The shawarma chicken, rice with vermicelli and pita bread were so good.

Great for quick meal in the area.I always take the chicken shawarma plate with rice.The chicken is very juicy and perfectly spiced.Love their selection of toppings and veggies.Love the spicy green sauce and also the garlic dressing.The portion size is very generous. It gets very crowded during lunch time,with lines out of the door.But the service is quick and efficient.Not much of a sit down place although they have a couple of tables.Perfect for work day lunch take out. read more

Naya is the best middle eastern take out spot in NYC. Everything is fresh and delish! Service incredible at every location most notably on 52nd street!

Will return here whenever I'm in the mood for naya. read more

NAYA - Lebanese Near Me - New York, New York

I was a long-time Naya food lover. On Tuesday, 13 May 2025, I had chicken with salad and humus, and ate it in Naya. Before I finish my food, I feel strange since then I have been vomiting, having diarrhea, and stomach pain. I didn't eat breakfast, and that was my first meal for the day. I saw a doctor today and got some medication. A very disappointing experience. read more

I love the food it a Mediterranean. It like chipotle but not Mexican. The food is filling fresh and delicious! The service is your regular fast food restaurant ambiance. No waiter and no bathroom. But good food. There baklava is amazing if you have a sweet tooth! read more

Fresh Lebanese chain with a good variety of bowls, pitas, and salads to construct from albeit with the only draw back being sometimes the portions are not as much as you are expecting. $15 a dish. 3.5/5 stars as a lunch spot. read more

Ordered online to pick up and never got the notification that it was ready - not sure whose fault it is to blame but for what the meal is worth, it's not too shabby. I would say it's on the smaller serving size in comparison to other competitors but still filling nonetheless! I got the chicken shawarma on a salad totaling to about $14 total - Definitely would come back another time and opt for some rice instead since lettuce is an option for a topping. Comes with the choice of unlimited toppings and free pita bread. read more

NAYA - DIY Chicken shawarma on seasonal green - Lebanese Near Me - New York, New York

This location is larger than the W. 56 St/6 Ave. There is enough room for more people to wait inside instead of in the street. The employees are very efficient. One of the delivery employees gave me the meal after I scanned the mealpal app. Afterwards, I waited for my friend, who came with me to pick up lunch. Even though there was a long line; the line moved very quickly. There are a few long tables for you to eat there after getting your food. The restaurant is very clean and plenty of space. The only question I have is when is the rice pilaf coming back. I miss that side. It was so good. Hope you enjoy the food as much as I did. Thanks Wendy -- it was rice pudding not rice pilaf. Thanks! read more

The "Chicken Shwarma dish with rice" is actually chicken with rice AND PASTA - and no where does it say that it's not just regular rice as a typical chicken shawarma dish would be. For anyone with dietary restrictions, be careful eating here. They list their dishes with many of the ingredients, but apparently not all of them. Very tasty, but I won't eat somewhere that I can't trust the ingredients. read more

Positives - clean interior, multiple toppings to choose from, wrap is wide This was my first and last time coming, ordered the chicken sharwarma wheat wrap. Negatives: Chicken was very dry, wheat wrap was a terrible combo. Wrap was also very dry, everything tasted flavorless. I almost had trouble finishing and wanted to throw it away. I'm use to Chipotle's wrap which is way better. read more

Great food!!! Extremely fresh and with so many options I was very happy. The order was ready in a timely manner read more

So I have found the perfect lunch place while being at work on weekdays. Probably one of the nicest lunch options in the vicinity. Ordered Naya bowl with vermicelli rice and chicken shawarma. I topped it with onion parsley, cucumber pickles, jalapenos, pickled turnip (my absolute favorite) and yogurt cucumber dressing. I have never seen a more gorgeous looking Lebanese bowl and couldn't wait to start digging in. Clearly this is one of the best Lebanese food I have eaten in the city in my 4 years here and I would love to visit this place whenever I get Mediterranean food craving. Do not miss out this gem in the middle of the city. read more

I wanted to reach out and speak regarding my experience at your NAYA restaurant located in 52nd and Madison. I am visiting my family for the holidays, and on Wednesday, November 27, at 12:48 p.m., my mother and I had such a mind-blowing experience. I asked to speak with a supervisor regarding allergies and gluten-free options, and the young lady in the line did not know about allergies or she did not understand what I was trying to ask. I take this very seriously because my mother, who is 74 years old, could have had an allergic reaction. I once again asked to speak with a supervisor, and when she approached me, she gave me an attitude as if I were bothering her and started speaking Spanish in front of my face, and I can tell that it wasn't nice things the way they were laughing and looking at my mother. The supervisor was a short Spanish young lady with black hair. She was maybe 5 feet maximum. I am never going back to this place after such treatment. People want to eat at places they feel welcome, and this place is not that. read more

I'm annoyed with Naya after today's lunch. The last time I went, the meal prep people recklessly threw the hummus, babaganous, and feta into one big, mixed, ugly pile in the middle of my schwarma plate like they simply didn't care. That's not nice and it ruins the meal, and they were busy, so I didn't want to say anything. Today, after a few months off from this place, they did it again, only this time there was no line behind me. Mixing too many dips together is gross. Spread them out perhaps in separate parts of the plate so you don't ruin the meal. The staff doesn't care. You're in a rush to get back to the office, so they know you won't do anything about it and you're not going to cause a scene if you work in the area. I told them and the guy working behind the glass basically laughed at me. Plus there wasn't time to fix it. Not happy. The food is fine quality-wise, but the service sucks. Likely won't be back. And the pita sucks. read more

I ordered this for pick up through their app for lunch. I got the naya bowl with freekah, chicken shawarma, hummus, garlic whip, baba ghannouj, cucumbers, romaine, tomatoes, and lemon tahini. It came with a small pita bread and complimentary chips. It's my first time getting Mediterranean food like this. At first I was worried if I added too many toppings but it was sooooo good! Everything tasted so good together. Very very filling. Would definitely get it again. I loved the garlic whip the most. read more

NAYA - NAYA Bowl - Lebanese Near Me - New York, New York

Consistently good Mediterranean food. Always fresh and tasty. I usually get the chicken shawarma but the falafel is good choice as well. The beef and lamb is delicious too. Great hummus and I love the garlic whip sauce. Highly recommend for good lunch spot in the city. They have several locations and usually 15 mins wait. It's worth it! Enjoy! read more

One of the best falafel platters I've had in NYC! My dad discovered this place a while back and I finally had the chance to try it. I ordered the naya bowl with white, medium grain rice & vermicelli, falafel, and all the toppings (hummus, baba ghannouj, garlic dip, feta & herbs, tahini, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled turnips and jalapeños). The price is excellent for the quality of ingredients and the falafel balls are made to order. It is not frozen like Halal Guys, instead at Naya, the employees freshly scoop the falafel mix and fry it. I love this spot and there are multiple chains across NYC. Highly recommend. read more

Probably the best Meal Pal lunch I've had to date. There's a reason NAYA always has a line out the door when the lunch hour hits. The food is THAT good. Tons of options to choose from to play and make your own lunch. For MP that day they had the falafel bowl with rice, pickled veggies, hummus, pita, and two types of sauce. It was a lot of food but filling in a good way, not the wow I feel sick way. You can tell they run a tight ship since even though it's a long time it moves very quick. One of the best places to grab lunch in midtown, hands down. BTW they're on 52nd (don't be like me and wander to 51st in the pouring rain and wonder where the entrance is). read more
