    NAYA Dumbo - Opening day $5 bowl or roll promo
    Andrew C.

    Unlimited toppings and they don't skim on portions! I'm so glad this opened in DUMBO because we needed some good Middle Eastern food in the area. There's so many healthy options for your bowl and they have protein and calories listed. They absolutely loaded my Mediterranean-style chicken shawarma salad and threw in a free pita! I came on opening day for the $5 bowl special and there was a line out the door, but the workers were so fast and polite!

    Tasty, huge portion, quick and easy, not too expensive. A good lunch option. I had a felafel wrap, couldn't finish it all.

    Chef worked at Sofreh - which is one of my faves - and I love Lebanese food, so I was excited to…read moretry this spot. Made a reservation for dinner on a Thurs night and tried: + Seaside snap cocktail + Coco logic cocktail + Hummus with Wagyu beef cheek and pine nuts + Baba ghannouj + Snap peas with labneh + Muhammara + sfeeha - baked lamb pies + lamb ribs Cocktails were fine - would get wine next time. Food was excellent, with my favorite dish being the lamb ribs. Baba ghannouj, snap peas and sfeeha were all delicious as well. I do prefer the muhammara at Miss Ada, but would order the rest of the dips (and hummus) here again. 4.5 stars.

    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.

I have a lot of Pros so i'm gonna start with really the only con. Con: it was pretty loud in the main room. Food: the Dorade and lamb meatballs were both awesome, the Chicken and Saffron butter was great as well. If youre gettting the pita and mezze, get more pita than you'd expect. It's some of the beg pita our family had ever had. The hummus was great but the babaganoush was killlerrrrr. My family had a field day on the syrian cheese and hot honey. I loved the grape leaves and charred eggplant. For dessert, ordered the tiramisu, date sticky pudding, and the rhubarb tart. The date sticky pudding was kind of like a date brownie and the toffee topping was insane. It was so rich and potent. tiramisu was good, but we could have done another Tart. It was so vibrant and refreshing, it was the first to go and if we wouldn't have already been stuffed, we would have ordered another. Service was great, and very accommodating. I can't have sesame seeds, and they took it off of everything we ordered, no mistakes there and much appreciated!

    The service at Huda was fantastic, and every dish had a really unique twist to it! The staff seemed…read morereally happy to help out whenever we needed something, and I would definitely come back and try some of these dishes again. I think the honey/cheese dish stood out the most. It was a little bit difficult to talk when we were seated in the back area because the acoustics there are not very conducive to conversation, especially when it's busy. There was a group of four girls next to us just catching up, and maybe a few other couples in the space, and it was still really hard to hear each other, enough that it honestly kind of gave me a headache to sit in the back! If you are going here for a date and you actually want to chat, I would recommend asking to be seated in the front so you can actually hear each other.

The table-side hummus was very standard hummus, and the table-side experience didn't add much. The baba ganoush was pretty good, however. I didn't love the pomegranate seeds, but they kind of just got in the way and made it harder to eat. The prawn risotto was decent, but again, nothing really blew me away. The service was great, and the ambiance inside was great as well, but due to the food just lacking much personality, I will not be returning.

I feel like the prices here are too expensive to justify the quality. My favorite thing was the babaganoush. Also, the service is not great. It feels like the staff haven't been trained properly. There were times that our waitress seemed lost and didn't know what she was doing. We had to ask other wait staff questions to get proper answers. Also, don't advertise a special menu on Opentable and give people the option to reserve the menu when you aren't offering it. Came here for latkes and caviar for NYE since it said it was on the menu when I reserved on Opentable. Got there and was told they only served it during Hannuka Hanukkah. Checked their IG and they were still posting they were serving it. Total let down.

The restaurant is spacious with a vibrant, lively atmosphere. One thing that immediately stood out was the music. For a Middle Eastern restaurant, the playlist was refreshingly diverse. We heard everything from hip-hop and salsa to world music, and it really added to the vibe. Our server, Omar, was EXCELLENT! If you can, ask to sit in his section. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and absolutely wonderful throughout our meal. We started with the very popular short rib hummus and homemade pita, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Very, very good! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, especially the hummus and bread, which are made in-house. We also tried another pita topped with spices, which was a little more sophisticated and absolutely worth ordering. For brunch, we tried the Lebanese omelette, which was a little bland for my taste, but the fig toast was a MUST! Definitely one of the standouts of the meal. The chicken shawarma was also very good. For drinks, we tried the Strawberry & Na'a along with one of their bourbon-based cocktails and enjoyed both. Overall, Boutros was such a pleasant surprise. Great atmosphere, fresh food, fun music, and exceptional service from Omar. There's still so much on the menu I want to try, so I will FOR SURE be back!

    Food: The food is pretty good here. We walked in on a Saturday around noon without a reservation…read moreand were still able to get a table even though the place was packed. We tried the mushroom hummus, Zaa'tar fries, chicken shawarma sandwich, and Shakshouka. All of the food was delicious and well-made; I would recommend the mushroom hummus. The best part of the meal was the pita bread that comes with the hummus and also shakshouka. It was some of the best pita I've ever had; it had a nice chewy and soft texture. It came out warm and tasted so fresh. Service: Service was excellent. Staff were welcoming and friendly. They were attentive and constantly came around to fill our water. Ambiance: There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is a good size with many tables to accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is nice. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering. The only thing I was not a fan of is their drink menu - all of the cocktails are spicy or smoky. Although you can sub out different alcohols, it would be nice to have a few other options.

I thought it would be quite heavy but when paired with the pita bread it was just right - light and fluffy with a light drizzle of honey made it a great ricotta - however, ive had better ricotta before at theodora lamb shawarma ($20) - i wasn't expecting it to be a dip but it was delicate and delicious anyways - this is probably my fav dish out of all 3 - the dip was strong and smooth; tasted unique but not anything too impressive either - the lamb was super tender but it was quite strong; i dont think people would've been able to handle it if theyve never had lamb before rating: 4/5 - everything we ordered was good and the quality is definitely there so it's a solid 4 but nothing really stood out - ive had better and more innovative dips elsewhere - the vibe is cute though! It's a perfect brunch spot decorated with plants; feels like a cozy little tree house - quick service; nothing to note IG: @nom.noms.only
