This location is very pretty inside. It has an accessibility ramp access on the outside. During lunch time, it was a bit busy, but the line moved quickly. I got the chicken kebab bowl with vermicelli rice this time. Usually I get their beef shawarma or kofta. They don't have beef shawarma anymore, but they do still have chicken shawarma. The chicken kebab was tasty, but I like the other meats better. For topping, I had everything and the pita. It was a generous portion. Enough for 2 meals for me.

Vargas was very kind and brought up the energy of the whole store. Made my day to the point where I had to write a reviews about it as it only added to the usually well prepared food and clean store read more

Have visited twice, usually around 3-4, and the place is really quiet. Food is decent, always stick to a salad and some chicken. Got the lemon chicken today, was tasty. Small team, just about two guys, but they were nice. Decent for a clean lunch, about $20 bucks with a drink. read more

I went in and was met by an attentive server Vargas who help me pick out my meal even when I was indecisive.Also I'm still learning English so I appreciate that there someone there that speaks Spanish . Had to translate a review because that level of service made my day and needs to be praised. read more

NAYA by union square area has very welcoming and chic design. The windows are open for the summer, you can sit by the bar table and enjoy the street views. Great middle eastern food for lunch or dinner. You pick a base (rice, salad), a protein (chicken, beef, lamb, veggie) and toppings. A bowl is ~$13. Food is warm. Chicken shawarma has great flavor. Very fulfilling. The staff are very friendly and efficient. I will suggest to sign up the membership to get points. Overall a solid spot for a quick meal. read more

The food was quite average and unfortunately did not meet my expectations. I was hoping for a good meal, but it turned out to be nothing memorable. The flavors were bland, and the presentation could use improvement. Overall, it was just an okay experience. read more

Just ok. Had the salad bowl with lamb kebab. Unlimited toppings but the staff is not generous when placing them in the bowl . Kinda pricey too. I paid $15.99. I could've had a sit down meal being waited on next door at Village Taverna for 3 dollars more. Checked it out but I don't think I'll go back. read more

The food tasted good for the first time ordering from Naya. I ordered extra chicken, didn't seem like extra to me. However the bowl was fulfilling and worth re ordering. read more

I was looking for a healthier option for lunch and decided to go to the NAYA near 14th street. I really appreciated the amount of seating that was in this NAYA. There was a community table, high top seating and lower seating. The space was really clean. All of the food was hot which I appreciated. I was got a split bowl with a base of rice and seasonal greens as well as split protein (chicken breast and beef). Everything was around $14 which is not bad for unlimited vegetable toppings. read more

Something needs to seriously be done about this. Tried ordering for pick up (and even delivery) today around 12:30 PM and it's still showing as closed, for both seamless and Grubhub. I specifically need to order through seamless and have done it in the past plenty of times. read more

I came here for a quick to go lunch before the winter storm hit. The store was well lit, spacious and inviting. There were a few people sitting around eating their meal or just hanging out. I can see this being a nice comfy spot to enjoy lunch. There wasn't anyone ordering so I went right up to the cashier and told them I made a to go order. They didn't have it ready but it wasn't a big deal. The cashier made my order within 5 minutes. I got a chicken shawarma bowl with the standard ingredients. So far everything has tasted good and I tend to get overwhelmed with a lot of choices so I pick a "pre-made" bowls and usually those have not been disappointing. My bowl today was delicious but I felt like they added a lot more salad and it wasn't as filled to the top as it normally is. However, I would still come back. read more

I ordered a Naya salad with the below ingredients: Spinach, arugula & cabbage mix Falafel Hummus Baba Ghannouj Chopped Lettuce Tomatoes Fresh Cucumber Green & Red Cabbage Pickled Lebanese Cucumbers Pickled Turnips Onion-Parsley Sumac Mix Feta Cheese Pita Dressing Everything was neatly arranged and it was very evident that the person in charge of my order cared. This was such a refreshing salad with different ingredients leading to a nice cohesion, although I had only wished they had the option of halving protein i.e. half falafel half cauliflower like Cava, but I know the portion sizes would not be good. I would recommend coming here if you're in need of satisfying your cravings for Middle Eastern food and want to indulge in a treat as well-the Nammoura is good and not as sweet as I thought it'd be! read more

Among the hot appetizer, Pumpkin Kibbe was my favorite, flavorful thanks to the chickpea and spinach added. The Beef Kibbe was too beefy. The Fatayer Sabenegh was too expensive as a spinach pastry. The cabbage salad was too vinegary. read more

Fast casual spot just South of Union Square. Inside is bright and spacious, and you can always get a seat. Order at the counter and get your bowl or wrap made to your specifications. The staff are friendly and it's pretty efficient, portions are generous and the salad is fresh and tasty. I always get the Chicken Schwarma, its nicely spiced and not dry. I get it on Romaine and load up on the toppings and dressing. I have had the rice in here but it leans to being a little overcooked and mushy. I've been curious about their Kibbe etc but never seen them so I'm guessing they are cooked to order, I'd be happy to get them as an add-on if they were readily available. Its a good deal price wise for the size and quality of the food. Overall it's probably a 4 1/2 *. read more

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

We ordered their falafel, sambousik, fatayer, grape leaves, kibbe, and rekakat. The sambousik Jebna was my favorite. It's kinda like a samosa filled with a mix of stringy mozzarella and feta, but I read it is halloumi, which does taste like a mix of those two cheeses. It's tasty and the dough is pie like. My babe liked the rekakat the best which is basically a cheese filled egg roll, but the wrapper is made with phyllo dough. The filling tasted similar to the sambousik but it's made with three different Mediterranean cheeses. It's worth trying both and seeing which one is your favorite. Regarding the other bites, we weren't the biggest fans, because it tasted frozen or as if it was made a while ago and reheated. We had a bogo deal online for delivery and I know delivery vs eating in person is always different so that could have been a factor. We are definitely willing to try them again in person, especially our favorites from Naya. read more

I'm so happy I got to try NAYA through Yelp Elite event. I never know what to eat when I'm in Union Square area, but now I have my go-to spot! I made a bowl with rice (it's mixed with vermicelli, who knew that'd be so good together!), garlic whip, babaganoush, feta, cucumbers, romaine, cabbage slaw, olives, tabboule, spicy green sauce and kafta lamb meatballs. It was DELICIOUS! The meatballs are juicy, the dips are fresh, especially a huge fan of babaganoush. I also tried the spinach pie, cheese rolls and an empanada looking pastry..loved them all. Wanted to get seconds but didn't have room. Instead went for a bite of dessert and my hunger was completely defeated. Must try! It was so much better than Cava, you can tell the ingredients are fresh. So skip Chipotle, Cava, Sweetgreen, and get yourself a nice hearty bowl from NAYA cause it's read more

NAYA is the rising star of the fast casual world that proves itself as one of the best, with consistency of delicious and high quality Lebanese food. For an intimate Yelp Elite event, we had a delightful buffet spread of some of their exciting menu items - crispy falafels, tender spiced chicken shawarma, fresh tossed taboulleh, lip smacking colorful sauces and dips, fantastic baklavas...it's a Party of flavors among a Party of fun foodies. But wait, beyond yummy food what else elevates your "fast casual" experience? NAYA is reimagining it with this Union Square location - it's spacious, bright, open windows and now offering a selection of unique wines from Lebanon. And what's the cherry on top? The Service - top notch! The staff always had a smile on their face and I could see their passion for the food and hospitality. Would you ever see it in a Chipotle or Sweet green? I guess not. I feel privileged that Yelp team looks after us foodies and provides us such amazing experiences to bond over soul satisfying food and genuinely nice people. NAYA's excellence speaks for itself and an definitely going back.... tomorrow! read more

Love coming to this location! The lay out is great, the staff is friendly and the food is so fresh!

I love fast casual and naya is addicting! It's an affordable and feels pretty healthy for me. I'm also surprised this location has very fast internet and has outlets. 10/10 would work from here during off hours. I can definitely see this place getting crowded during lunch hours though. read more

Decided to drop by during their opening when they were having a $5 special on the bowl and roll. This was an awesome steal. Location wise heart of Union square. Alot of seatings with an open air window near the entrance. Choose your proteins choose your toppings. We got the beef and the lamb on a bowl. The beef shawarma was really good. Nice and tender. The lamb meatball was okay. Service was quick because everything was already prepared you just need to pick and choose. Pay at the cashier and then you can grab a seat if you want to sit in or take it to go. Portion wise was okay. Maybe I'm a big eater and it wasn't as filling as I thought but a good snack and awesome flavor. read more

Stoped in to order lunch here this past weekend. Staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional at this location. Never again.

You could improve your customer service or whoever hung up on me today btw 12:30 and 12:45. I called to say I ordered at the wrong location and after my short and uncomplicated spiel the girl hung up on me and then I called two or three more times after that and no answer. Probably is eating the free chicken shawarma and baklava. read more

Randomly came across this place after walking through Union Square. The restaurant is pretty spacious, with a set up for grab and go or sit down and eat. While we were there seemed like the to go orders were pretty busy. You get to build your own bowl, pita, or salad. I chose to get the chicken shawarma bowl which came with pita bread on the side. They gave me the option of choosing cut up thigh or breast pieces, which I thought was pretty cool since most places blend the two. There is a wide variety of sauces and sides you can add to your bowl to your liking. The chicken was a little dry but the veggies seems pretty fresh. I definitely recommend adding plenty of sauce to add some extra flavor to your bowl. If I'm ever craving shawarma in the area for a quick bite to eat, I'd swing by here again! read more

Falafel is so dry....And the falafel is half of the meal and the main protein so that's why I'm giving it a low star... it's basically inedible, very dry and hard. This is the second time I tried them and this happened both times. I thought I would give it another chance. Disappointing. The vegetables taste fresh and the pita is good. Really wanted to like this place! read more

Love love love Naya. They stated implementing rectangular containers instead of their usual bowls during their opening of this location. Is that smaller than the bowl? Not sure. I got their chicken shawarma bowl and it was consistently good. Do not get their wraps or sides as they do not taste as good as the bowl. I seriously had to learn the hard way when I ordered a pastry and a soup which is equivalent to a bowl and was less full than the bowl itself. read more

I just ordered a pita and some hot appetizers from this place on Grubhub, as I was eating one of the pumpkin kebbe I felt something very hard and weird in my mouth. I spit it out and well, it was a rock. THERE WAS A FREAKING ROCK INSIDE MY FOOD. Of course I stopped eating my meal completely, I have no idea how a food establishment can let something like that happen but I can seriously say I'm never ordering from this place again. It's such a health hazard and honestly just disgusting. I could have swallowed it, choked on it, broken a tooth or even worse who knows. I still can't believe this happened. I can't imagine they follow any sanitary precautions, please DO NOT order from this place. read more

Intrigued by the clear open space, I went into the Naya on University Place near Union Square. Only a few customers were there, one placing an order, and another apparently eating. The staff was friendly, and the menu appealing with reasonable prices. Thinking of a salad when I reached home, I ordered 2 pumpkin kibbes, 2 spinach mini-pies, and 4 falafel balls. I paid, and the order was given to me within a very few minutes. Imagine my disappointment when I reached home and found only the kibbes (delicious) and mini-pies (okay, not great), and no falafel! The lost money was a small sum ($3.20), but I was very disappointed by the omission. Was it deliberate or carelessness? Who knows? Would I go there again? Possibly, but only to eat there, so that I know that my order is filled. read more

Naya combines two of my favorite things - fast and easy healthy foods and Lebanese foods! I enjoyed their cauliflower wrap filled with baba and veggie goodies.

I came here early for lunch before a winter storm. The store was well lit, spacious and inviting. Some people were sitting there eating or hanging out.

They didn't have it ready but it wasn't a big deal. The cashier placed my order within 5 minutes. I got a chicken shawarma bowl with standard ingredients.
