Falafel Bowl
Karina R.

How could I have missed this place? Back in Manhattan. A small size location on Broadway. First time I had ordered from NAYA. Salad bowls with falafels and some couscous. The usual. Sometimes I just order only falafel. They are so GOOD. I can't believe NAYA is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Excited about that. If you are into Falafel, grape leaves, couscous, or in general something healthy with proteins-this is the place. NAYA has everything from salad bowls to wraps or maybe you just want to grab some grape leaves on the go. The service is good. Very clean location and bigger than the one from Manhattan. The place is. Rey chilled not loud if you intent to stay to eat.

Pros: - I got Lamb Shwarma and Chicken Shawarma bowls with Vermicelli Rice, Hummus, Baba Ghannouj, Toum (Garlic Whip), Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sumac Onions, Feta Cheese, Lebanese Pickles, Cabbage Slaw, Pickled Turnips, Kalamata Olives, and all topped with Lemon Tahini non-spicy sauce. Everything was fresh and delicious! My hubby got the Falafel bowel with Tri-Color Quinoa with all the toppings, which was my favorite. Love that Naya provides unlimited toppings, such a perk! - Ideal location right on Bedford between 5th and 6th streets. - Great space- long layout with high ceilings. There are tables for eating at the front. - Staff were friendly and attentive. Cons: - The A/C may not have been working because it was a sauna inside so we were glad we didn't eat on-site.

Passed by today and noticed they opened. They definitely grabbed my attention with their table filled with goodies. In order to spin the wheel, a purchase will have to be made. Since I just ate, I got grape leaves for a snack afterwards. The grape leaves were fresh and soft. After the wheel, I won a free entree! Yay! The inside is so cute and bright with a couple of tables in the front. They also had free lemonade and coffee for sampling. The set up of the table was so cute and welcoming. I'm always in this area and cant wait to try their entree next time. The restaurant is so close to the main area on Bedford Ave. It's in between the L train station and Whole Foods.

I totally forgot how I event came across Naya but I'm so glad I did. They're fresh take on Mediterranean food it's very refreshing. As over the years it feels like a lot of companies who serve certain Mediterranean dishes have lost the essence taste and quality of the food. They bring it back. I love coming to any location and grabbing food. Always delish when I'm on the go !

I order from Naya in Williamsburg at least once a week and it never misses. I always go for the chicken bowl, fully loaded -- they pack it to the rim every time. The portion is super generous, the flavors are bold and fresh, and it seriously hits perfectly for lunchtime. Delivery is fast and always arrives just right. If you're craving something hearty, flavorful, and consistent, this is the move. Highly recommend.

Good portions and service. Popped in to grab a few bowls and they were both generous and quick with my order. I'd come back!

Went to Sawa for dinner with a group of six on a Friday night, and it was a great dinner. When you…read morewalk in, you are immediately greeted by a giant oven baking fresh pita as well as an open kitchen. There is also an outdoor dining area, as well as a mid-sized dining room and we were seated near the window. Sawa serves Lebanese cuisine with some more modern dishes. Additionally, they have a mostly Lebanese wine list, which gave us an opportunity to try some new wines. We ordered both a red and a white for the table, and I was especially drawn to the red, as the red was served chilled, light-bodied, and very enjoyable. Nearly all of the reds and whites on the menu are from Lebanon, with just one red from Morocco, plus a couple sparkling options from Lebanon as well. We started with several dips for the table: hummus, baba ghannouj, and muhammara. The hummus was incredibly smooth, and the muhammara was especially flavorful with large pieces of walnut throughout. Everyone at the table receives fresh pita, and we ended up ordering a few more to share. We also shared the Brussels sprouts and the snap peas. The Brussels sprouts were rich and flavorful, but the snap peas really stood out. They were unlike anything I have tasted before, intensely mint, served with garlic mint labneh, and very delicious. For mains, we focused on lamb: two orders of the lamb ribs, two orders of the kafta, and two orders of the sfeeha. We probably over-ordered by about one entrée, but otherwise it was the right amount of food for six people. The lamb ribs were phenomenal, fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The lamb pies were also very good and came with a delicious dipping sauce. The kafta was good, though not quite as memorable as the other lamb dishes, but still very satisfying. Service was attentive throughout the meal, and despite the number of dishes on the table, the staff handled everything smoothly. The table got a little crowded at times, but it was manageable. I would absolutely recommend Sawa, especially for anyone who enjoys trying something a little different. They do classic Lebanese dishes very well, while also offering some creative dishes that feel unique and memorable. I am already looking forward to going back.

Great place. Good food with great service. Cozy atmosphere…read more A great place to share multiple dishes to try. Gets pricey, but worth trying

Lovely neighborhood spot with some delicious fare…read more Came here on a Monday night with a friend and no reservations. Arriving at around 7:30pm most of the tables were full but we were still able to be seated. There's a front area and a back-- originally, they tried to seat us at an awkward 2 person right by the front door, but when we requested a different table, brought us to the back. We opted to share 3 dishes and it ended up being plenty with us boxing up more than half of the final dish to take home. The dishes were: - Mouhamara: Solid dip to start with and the pita that accompanied it was good as well. Any pita beyond 1 does cost extra. - Fattoush: This salad was so good! If you're craving some bright, leafy greens this is the dish. Would order again. - Yakhnet Sabanegh: It was really tasty but I would say portion-wise it felt a little smaller than I would have hoped for the price. I would be borderline on ordering it again-- it was yummy but also I feel like it could be fun to try something different. I also got a red wine to go along with my food and appreciated how the server let me try two different ones before deciding on my glass. I would definitely say that it's more busy earlier in the night as by the time we left at around 9 pm it has mostly cleared out. If you're in the neighborhood, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

Food here is excellent 10/10. Coming from a Lebanese background it's authentic and true to taste…read more It's rare to find a tasty kibbeh but Nabila's doesn't disappoint. The service was also great with really nice staff. It would be great if they put some more love into the decor and aesthetic. They also don't have a liquor license which seems be out of their control but hopefully they get one soon as proper cocktails would be a great complement to this delicious food.
