Great takeout. Fresh food, good quantity, tastes good. Also a fair variety of menu items. And most importantly, right around the corner from me. Highly recommended.
Genuinely always a delicious option for takeout. They also have some Uber eats deals which is great! If you ever need a filling flavorful meal, order from Naya! It's super fast delivery. Food is fresh and yummmyy! If you're looking for Mediterranean food, check this place out.
Decided to order from here with my coworkers for lunch and this is the first time I had some authentic Mediterranean food and when I tell you how much I enjoyed the food. I decided to created my own chicken shawarma bowl to pick my own toppings and it was all the flavors I needed after waiting to eat for lunch. The presentation was great and so spillage in the order as well. I would definitely order again and even eat here one day!
Enjoyable food. Well made and seasoned. My favorite was the red pepper and walnut dip which paired very well with the thick pita bread that accompanied. The tabouli was also very nice.
This was such a great last minute find in the UES. One thing to note - when we tried to make reservations on Open Table - they said all the tables were taken but I'm glad we called because they were able to seat us. When we arrived, we saw that there were many open tables - so definitely call! We had the spread, cauliflower, falafel, halloumi, and lamb tartare - so delicious! I didn't like the milk pudding - lavender just seems wrong for dessert - taste like soap. But this was a great place to dine - very affordable and attentive waiters. Order the mint tea too!
Very good spot for authentic Lebanese foods with a highly aesthetic dining area. Here's my breakdown of the foods I ordered: Samke mechwiye (branzino) ($26) - Decent but the fish and veggies were a bit plain/bland; a tad overpriced but the other dishes were fairly priced Mouajjanat mix (1 rekakat, 1 fatayer sabenegh, and 2 sambousik jebne) ($12) - The rekakat came in a spring roll kind of shape, except it was filled with a tasty blend of three cheeses; the fatayer had a nice spinach/lemon combo inside; and the sambousik (cheesy empanadas) were tasty as well Falafels ($8) - These classic chickpea falafels were good, but a bit too hard/crunchy on the outside Lebanese spreads ($12) - Great combo of spreads, hummus and baba ghannouj were as expected, while the muhammara exceeded expectations, as it was a little nutty, peppery, and sweet all in one (and not spicy) The interior of the restaurant has a great romantic ambiance with dimmed lighting and clean, elegant decor. It is narrow with tables on both sides of the central walkway and a larger dining table in the back room. Each table is separated by glass. The white benches along with the dark wooden tables, glass dividers, and lighting make for a unique and beautiful dining area. In terms of service, the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the service speed was pretty quick. Overall, I would highly recommend Naya if you are interested in Lebanese cuisine, especially if you are looking for a date night kind of vibe.
Actually, this review would be a 4.5 instead of a 4. Overall, I had a wonderful experience Naya Mezze & Grill. First, I LOVED the modern/futuristic setup and design of the restaurant, which gave the restaurant a very classy and upscale vibe. For my meal, I had the Samké Harra, which is a broiled branzino with spicy tahini sauce, walnuts and pine nuts. I thought the fish was perfectly prepared, and I have no complaints about it. Actually, I was this || close to ordering another Samké Harra to go. The Tabboulé was the only thing that I did not fully enjoy meal because I found it way too sour. Perhaps, that is the way the restaurant prepares this particular side. The Tabboulé aside, I definitely would not mind visiting Naya again in the near future.
