My Lebanese lunch from NAYA was splendid. I ordered ahead on the app, which was very straight-forward and easy. I placed the order around 11:45 and it was ready when I arrived at 12:00. It's quite organized when you walk in as they have an employee bringing out to-go orders from the back and placing them on a shelf. It's much more convenient than having to wait in line or walk past the line to grab your food. I really liked the setup with that. Also loved the seating area indoors and the option to sit and enjoy your food outside! This is not the restaurant's fault whatsoever, but rather my own dumb fault. I forgot to add a sauce to my bowl. Regardless of this, the bowl ingredients were fresh, filling and flavorful! I absolutely loved my meal and the falafel was crispy and still hot when I got back to my office. Additionally, I ordered the pumpkin kibbe which was tasty. I should've ordered a dip with it as well but it was delicious on its own. The fast service and fresh food warrants a second visit. Thanks, NAYA! read more

I did not have a seamless order from Naya, to which was the fault of the driver picking up the food. I placed an order for the platter with 12 pieces of chicken wraps with salad and baklava for a client meeting. And added a few cauliflower bowls. When our driver arrived they only delivered the cauliflower bowls without the main dish of the 12 chicken pitas! However when I called the restaurant they were gracious and told us they would deliver it to our address. I was glad they fixed the issue. We were all very happy with the meal. I would absolutely recommend Naya! read more

For a fast-cas spot, I really enjoy Naya for a bit of variety around center city. Service is quick, food is always fresh, and it makes a good, light meal. The portion size feels smaller than other options, but I really like the seasoning they use for their vegetables and falafel. Staff are fun and always make sure my order is correctly fulfilled. Bowls feel wide and very shallow, but they distribute the ingredients so you get a good variety in each bite. Stop by for something different. Their website offers a helpful breakdown of the ingredient lists and allergens too. I had some guests in town with very specific dietary restrictions and they were able to research the menu and inform staff when we ordered so they could eat with peace of mind. read more

NAYA - NAYA Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Naya is a great spot for lunch. Even though the line is often out the door during lunchtime on a weekday, it moves quickly. I like the options and often get either a bowl or a pita with falafel (always appreciate delicious vegetarian options) as well as a bunch of veggies and sauces. The portions are also large, so I never finish and get to eat the other half for lunch the next day. There are some seats inside so you could eat there or it is a great option to go as well. read more

Naya aka Naya Bowls is a Middle Eastern restaurant that offers fresh and delicious food at reasonable prices and average portions. The menu, located at https://www.eatnaya.com offers a superb breakdown of all of the food selections they offer with comprehensive information listed with all the dietary restrictions that websites including Yelp, Google Maps, Grubhub, Doordash, Uber Eats (the worst delivery platform in the US), Trip Advisor, and other websites. The restaurant offers delivery, as well as catering, though I can't imagine ordering catering when the presentation of the dishes ordered don't entice me to think they're capable of the standard for catering, as someone who was in the catering industry for over seven years. The order consisted of 2 NAYA Bowls, each with ruby wild tice, chicken shawarma, hummus, baba ghannouj, cucumber and yogurt, lemon tahini, spicy red sauce, green and red cabbage. Each Naya Bowl comes with the choice of a pita. Additionally, I ordered a side container of baca ghannouj, which comes in a 1/2 lb container, but about 2/3 full weighing 6oz. Everything was fresh, a gear combination of flavors, and highly recommendable. Advice- whoever fulfills orders, find a better way to package the bowls so all ingredients aren't mixed together read more

This place is tricky to find as you must walk around the building to a business alleyway in the middle of 16th st. A person on the side directed me to enter the building, take the elevator to the top floor, then walk to the other side of the building. I almost did that but then he said he was kidding. Kinda wish I had told the guy to look me up. The staff at this place is friendly. Healthy food and makes me feel good. Atmosphere fits in with this office section of the city. Had a TooGoodToGo order here and I love the variety of items offered. read more

Unfortunately!!! The bathroom are not clean! Children's are using this restroom. For such a nice place like NAYA, they should be doing better with that. The sink hasn't been clean in a long time. The last time this bathroom was clean was in 05/22/25 So sad because this place serves good food. It's so easy to keep a Bethroom clean. Manager needs to do better with this read more

Ordered from DoorDash for the first time. I can't speak to the service if you go in store but average time for delivery. I got lunch here and ordered the rice bowl. I got the lamb meatballs with garlic sauce and green sauce. Overall it was tasty. The meatballs were a bit dry but had good flavor. There was a lot of food so it felt like a good value. I would order from here again to try some other options. read more

My favorite place to grab lunch when I'm in the office. Naya never ever ever disappoints and everything on their menu is so good and flavorful. Very generous with the protein and toppings! Today I ordered the chicken shawarma salad and added ALL toppings. It receives a 10/10. Came with free pita bread and since the pandemic it seems like the recipe changed? The bread is smaller, thicker, drier and not as good as it once was. Soaking it in all the salad sauce brought it back to life. I love this place and it will forever be my favorite go to spot for lunch when I'm in the office. If you create an account, they will give you $5 off meaning you pay $5-6 for an incredible lunch. The baklava they sell is also incredible! Highly recommend! read more

NAYA - Chicken shawarma salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is really a 4.5 star review, but giving them all 5 because my one critique is more a personal peculiarity. I preordered lunch with a friend from here who swears by Naya's vegetarian bowls. I got a vegetarian roll, and went very Mediterranean in my toppings - just tomato, cucumber, feta, olives and lemon tahini. My friend devoured her bowl, making clear that she meant it when she said this is one of her favorite downtown Philadelphia lunch spots, and I enjoyed my roll too. The cauliflower was excellent, so well seasoned and cooked, and the vegetables were fresh and tasty. I just wished there could have been more tomatoes - it felt like the whole wheat pita really dominated. And it was good pita, I just feel like while the ratios of all the other fillings worked, a little more tomato would have really made it perfect for me. Next time I do Naya I'll make sure to specify that as my optional comment in the order. Also, as a portion it was just right for me - filling enough to power me through several hours of walking around the city, but not so much that I COULDN'T walk. read more

Super quick and convenient place with high-quality ingredients (grass-fed steak? Sign me up!) and many options for toppings. I got the beef atop rice with romaine, all the non-dairy toppings (pickled beets were my fave) and extra protein of roasted cauliflower for +$3.70. Only downside is the serving serve of protein/toppings is pretty small (they load up on the carb/salad on the bottom) so I was still not full after eating. I thoroughly appreciate having more fast-casual places to go for a late lunch in center city (I go after 2 to avoid lines) but I prefer Cava down the street over this place because they have a wider variety of flavorful ingredients/toppings/sauces (only one type of lemon-hummus here) read more

NAYA - Grass-fed beef shawarma atop rice, with green spicy sauce and extra protein of Roasted Cauliflower - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

As the description indicates, Naya is a Chipotle-style cointer-serve spot in the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern style. Central location with decent amount of seating. The chicken shawarma was the only halal meat option, so I got that on a white pita roll, with hummus, olives, lettuce and cucumbers as toppings. The roll was quite filling and reasonably tasty; my only criticism is that they didn't warm it properly, so it was all cold. The protein quantity is moderate, but they do have the option of adding extra protein if you want. I got a couple of falafel too on the side, which were nice, though a bit dry. On the whole, a decent option if you're in the area looking for something quick on a weekday. read more

My cousin and I were looking for a place to eat after a day of fun at Monk's Cafe and Victory Brewpub. We had seen these spot earlier in the day when walking around and decided to head there for dinner. I had a really delicious falafel and chicken shawarma pita wrap with the works. So good and perfect for a meal. Not fancy but hit the spot. I'd certainly go back if ever in that part of town again. read more

Nahhh ya need to check this place out! This place is right by city hall and is definitely a good place for lunch. I got a great your own bowl and it was so so good. The falafel was some of the best if had and decent naan as well. Definitely comparable to some of the other mix and match Mediterranean places. They also gave you a decent amount of food for the price. I ordered online and their pickup was seamless. Overall, it was really nice and I would definitely go back. read more

NAYA - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'll start by saying the food here is good quality and flavorful. I had such high hopes for NAYA and really wanted to rate higher but I really couldn't based on my experience and first impression. I tried ordering through the app and I found it rather challenging once I got to the part where you input your payment method. The app wouldn't accept my card information and I tried a number of different cards. All of which were active and contained funds. To be fair, I didn't take off stars for this, I just figured I'd give them a pass, as technology is glitchy sometimes and you have to allow room for that. I ended up going in person to place my order and here's where I start deducting stars. The staff person who took my order did not know English, like at all. Not to be rude or funny but I was articulate about the items I wanted in my bowl which were on the menu and the staff person did not understand "Wild Rice". A different staff person came over to help and tried to but I don't believe they understood the difference between the Wild Rice and the Vermicelli Rice. They even rolled their eyes at me like I didn't know what I was talking about when I tried to tell them they were scooping the wrong rice. I asked them to double check with a third staff person who agreed with me. I wanted to shout THANK YOU! This confirmed that I wasn't going crazy! I continued to place my order and noticed that I didn't see any tabbouleh although they have it on photos within the dining area. I asked the staff person about it and was informed that they only sell the tabbouleh for catering orders. They also mentioned it takes a long time to make. I though that was strange. There's similar Mediterranean take out restaurants who sell tabbouleh not just for catering but as a bowel or wrap option. So that was disheartening to hear and didn't make a lot of sense to me. The choice of topping options falls short to me. Aside from the sauces and dips, I wish there were more topping options besides pickled cucumbers, pickled turnips, tomatoes, jalepenos, olives and lettuce. The menu says "chopped lettuce" however the lettuce was long thick leaves of romaine and weren't chopped at all. I don't know if it's normally chopped and perhaps they were rushing this day but it wasn't chopped at all. The Labne dip is sort of like a cream cheese dip but my palate was overwhelmed by the lemon flavor. Lastly, for the amount NAYA charges per bowl even with extra ingredients added, I should NOT be able to see the bottom of my bowel or have a bunch of space as if they didn't fill it up all the way. The portions were skimpy. Photos attached. The food is good but not that good for me to return. I can think of similar places that give me more variety toppings and fill the bowel all the way up. read more

This review is for the order placed for delivery. The hummus is smooth and creamy, baba ganoush has perfect smoky flavor. Chicken schawarma with grains has perfect flavor and seasoning.

Middle Eastern/Lebanese food with a Chipotle concept. Lots of fresh, flavorful options to choose from. I've ordered both delivery and in person and both times had a pleasant experience. Although I received an incorrect item when I ordered delivery through uber eats. The store front is located in the financial district and is very modern and clean. Great fast casual spot to add onto the rotation list to frequent. read more

Terrible service. I didn't even get to try the food. I waited in line for 15 minutes with only two people in front of me. The workers saw me and didn't even say they'd be right with me, they just started making other orders right in front of me. I finally walked out. Disappointing. read more

I love this place for cheap and fast-casual to pick up on my way home from the train. Order extra of the garlic sauce (toum, but they call it garlic sauce. Who cares, it is amazing). I sometimes order extra just to use as a condiment in my normal home cooking. This is not fine dining! But for the price of chipotle, this is, in my opinion, a much better option. read more

I was craving some middle eastern food for lunch and wanted to skip the usual Cava or Honeygrow so I decided to give Naya a try. I'm so glad that I did. My order was about $30 (including all fees but tip) and it was a LOT of food for $30. The delivery fees kill you with UberEats but the food seemed very reasonably priced. I ordered a Naya Salad with EXTRA Chicken Shwarma - you could barely call it salad. The extra protein made it more of a chicken bowl. It was very good and a great mix of ingredients. I also got one Kibbe (deep fried beef ball) that was tiny but delicious. I opted for a side of Cucumber Yogurt dip and some house-made Baked Zaatar Pita Chips (that were very fresh despite their professional packaging). As I said, the meal was delicious and travelled really well. The packaging was great and generally I was blown away by this place that I had never even heard of before. If you live in Center City (or elsewhere - I live in Fairmount), definitely give this place a try. It was a nice change of place and the perfect delivery lunch bowl. read more

Ordered from here again because despite them fucking up our order a few days prior, I was DESPERATE for a place that had hummus AND fries however ultimately decided against order fries for thighs and waist reasons. We ordered this yogurt dip they have as well as regular AND spicy hummus because the dips are SO CHEAP HERE! All of them were pretty good. The regular hummus is kinda boring tbh but the spicy hummus has little pieces of FRESH jalapeno in it. It's actually not spicy at all but that adds something delicious to the spread. DEFINITELY order the spicy one, trust me on this. The yogurt was also really creamy, delicious, and smooth. I'd recommend this as well. Anyways cool bye read more

I've been to the NY location and this is my first time at the Philly one. If you know CAVA, it's a similar concept but I think it's better because it's not as overwhelming in food quantity and choice, but NAYA has better quality in my opinion. I got the bowl with freeka and the cauliflower as my protein. Highly recommend this combo - too good. I think they have better flavors than most Mediterranean fast food places I've gone to and I absolutely love the garlic whip and the baba ghannouj. My favorite thing is just eating the garlic whip with the pita they give. Absolutely bomb. I got the cucumber, diced tomatoes, pickled turnips, onion and tahini sauce. So amazing and good. The plus is always the warm soft and fresh pita to top it off. Great place and great location right by city hall :) read more
