This is my go to when I'm in a hurry and need something to satisfy my hunger, Naya never disappoints

I haven't had NAYA in yearssss! I recently visited this location for lunch and though it was tasty, I remember it being a bit better at the 3rd Ave location. I ordered a pita wrap with Falafel, garlic whip and toppings. Perhaps, I need to go again and reorder it or get something else - but it was just ok. It's clean and service was quick. If you are a NAYA fan and in the area then for sure check it out. read more

Came here for early lunch on a weekend. Convenient location on the west side close to Central Park and Lincoln Center area...easy to get to by trains. Service was quick and friendly staff. Seating available for dining in, or can order and take out. Pick your base, protein, and toppings. Easy peasy. Salad, bowl or wrap... any of the options are good. All are filling. My go to staple is rice bowl the chicken shawarma... can't go wrong with that and toppings. They recently added roasted lemon chicken salad with pomegranate tahini sauce that may be worth a try...limited time special.

Got a custom chicken bowl with rice--food is solid and all of the sides are tasty. Portion is also decent value as the bowl, while shallow, is very dense with food. Service was friendly and fast. Ambiance was clean, very clean for right next to Moynihan station. read more

I learned of this place from my husband who's vendor always orders from here for lunch and I see why. Nothing much to say other than amazing!! Fresh ingredients and they move the line along pretty quickly so come in knowing what you want . I ordered the bowl with falafel and that was the freshest I've had in a while. They do have some seating but not a lot. Seems more of a takeout spot to me. I was so hungry and everything tasted so good that I forgot to take a picture, however, I will slow down and do it next time. read more

I'm a big fan of the fast casual, build it as you go concept and a bigger fan of Middle Eastern cuisine: this is why CAVA became my go to Friday lunch working in Downtown Jersey City and why NAYA (with a similar concept) unfortunately doesn't stack up. Looking for a quick dinner before catching The Cure at MSG, I ordered a salad and went down the line: arugula + spinach base, falafel as the protein, hummus + baba ghanouj + tzatziki + tomatoes + cucumber + onion and parsley + pickled turnips + olives + green sauce. The dips were well made and flavourful and the ingredients were fresh, but the falafel was dry, crumbly, and underseasoned. The accompanying prepackaged pita was soft but bland. Staff were friendly and efficient read more

Walked around a bit tonight to find a place to eat and stumbled upon Naya. The place looked bright and clean, and the menu offered a few meat-free options. It operates very much like a Chipotle, but with Mediterranean style food. I ordered a bowl consisting of rice with vermicelli, then falafel, and a load of the toppings they had to offer. I also grabbed a bag of their pita chips that they make in house. I got all of this to go and returned to my hotel. The food was delicious. I loved the texture of the falafel. I'll probably do dinner here once more before I leave town. read more

I work in this area and this place is solid. The interior is modern and clean. The service is always friendly, and the food is tasty and satisfying. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl which was cooked well and added a ton of veggies and hummus. You also get a little pita bread but you won't need it because you get a lot of food. I ended up eating half for lunch and saving the other half for the next day so there's great value there. read more

Kick ass shawarma, hit the spot! Exactly what I was on the hunt for. Customer service was impressive as well.

*** 3.5 *** This is the go-to lunch spot for my colleagues as we are in the building across the street, and it's a solid option but as far as Middle Eastern food goes, it's definitely not the best (it is to Middle Eastern what Chipotle is to Mexican). Does the trick but definitely not something I'd venture going out of your way for. The bowl with CHICKEN SHISH TAOUK came with a lot of sides/dips but I think the ratio was a bit off (too much dip and not enough chicken). I still pick up lunch here from time to time given the limited options in the area, but probably wouldn't eat here under other circumstances. read more

Mediterranean Chipotle... All the Mediterranean fixings... I selected double meat chicken and lamb... All was fresh and flavorful... Bowl was served with naan... read more

I work down the street from here so I pass it every day on my way to work! I knew I had to try it because I love falafel and middle eastern food in general. Have tried lunch here twice now and was even more impressed the 2nd time. Both times I ordered through Grubhub and the food was prepared relatively quickly. Both times I had basically the same bowl, freekah with falafel and hummus. However, the 2nd time was even better because there was more sauce and the pickled turnips were really good! Besides the high quality of ingredients and flavors, the portion size is great. I can never finish a whole bowl for lunch without getting full. And its a good deal at only 9 something! Wow! I will definitely keep coming back for more! read more

Yum! This is a fast casual middle eastern concept. The highlights - the baba ghanoush and the garlic whip/spread were both totally amazing, and the array of pickles (cucumbers, something crunchy in beet juice) were excellent. So was the pita - soft and fluffy! I would go back just to eat more of the baba ghanoush and garlic whip. The chicken schwarma itself, however, was not so good - it lacked all of the spice and excitement of a good schwarma. Next time I'll try a different protein on my bowl. But also, I should mention it is a huge amount of food for the price! So overall a really good choice for a quick, semi-healthy lunch. read more

Solid build your own Mediterranean lunch spot near MSG. I'm keeping this on my return list. Expect lengthy lines that move quickly. Decide on build your own wrap, platter or salad of which I chose the salad. Then choose a lettuce--mine was Spring mix. Next--protein or main. I chose roasted cauliflower which was a delicious change from the usual Chicken Schwarma etc. Choice of different toppings--several or all. There were too many but I stuck with the basics--tomatoes, cucumbers, Tzastziki, onions, garlic whip. Obviously there was Hummus and Babaghanouj but I omitted those since I buy them at the supermarket quite often. Finally salad dressing. My selection was a vinaigrette (on the side). Same concept for the wraps, sandwich and platter. A small, fresh pita bread was included with salads. Salad alone was $12.60 which was reasonable and filling. Recommend. read more

We really enjoyed the food as well as the service. Wendy was excellent with all customers. I noticed the place was very clean and portions were great size, reasonable price and delicious food. We would go back. read more

Often order from NAYA for lunch to my office. Fresh, authentic, delish middle eastern food. My go to is usually their bowl w lamb, onions, jalapeños, tomatoes always w a side of whipped garlic and green sauce are seriously crack. Their grape leaves yummy as well. Their falafels are my 2nd go to! Always quick delivery and my food arrives warm and I always have a little left over to snack on. read more

The restaurant is very stingy with food. I got the cauliflower bowl and they literally served me 3 small florets of cauliflower. When I asked the server if I could have more she wrote on my order that I got one extra floret of cauliflower. For a bowl that costs ~ 14 dollars I expected better. Not going back again. Very unfair read more

Decent quick lunch or dinner spot! I had a vegetarian bowl with the tahini cauliflower. It was pretty flavorful. Hummus was smooth, but not the best tasting I've had. It's good in conjunction with the other food in the bowl, but I probably wouldn't eat it on its own. The pita was pre-packaged, which was a little disappointing. read more

Always my go to lunch spot when I'm in the office. The bowls are decently priced for Midtown especially in today's environment - you can get a bowl between $10-$12. I usually get the falafel salad and add in mostly all of the toppings that you can choose minus a few. My favorite topping is their garlic whip - it's so light and fluffy but yet still has that garlic flavor. Love spreading the whip on the pita bread that they give on the side. During lunch hours there's usually a long line but it goes by quick (or so it seems) - I usually order my lunch online ahead of time for pickup. I come here at least once a week to get my Naya fix. read more

I don't think the bowl is traditional tasting and Naya is a bit Americanized even though I am not Middle Eastern, but it was so good. I got the Falafel bowl with freekeh, every topping on it, and also a pita on the side. It ended up being $10.83. I would come back again as everything tasted so good. The bowl is more of a meal while my previous order of the lentil soup and pastry puffs were for like snacking or if one is trying to loose weight. read more

Really good food and generous size! I got a bowl and it came with naan. I recommend trying out the chicken. My one con is that I wish they had more options for greens, they seem really limited compared to other local competitors. read more

WARNING: NO PUBLIC BATHROOM 4 DINERS. First time we tried this place. 5 stars for staff - clean, well groomed, attentive and eager to help you make a selection. The restaurant was spotless, floor and table were clean. Ambience was good, industrial styling with cement floor and white tile walls. The uplifting music was just a tad too loud. Friend was charged almost $4 extra for cauliflower because it is considered a protein, in addition to the lamb he ordered. I had the falafel (5 or 6 pieces), which had a hard outer crust. I had to use the plastic knife to break them up and they cracked into pieces. The baba ghanoush tasted like their was gasoline it. Don't ask me how because there isn't a gas station in NYC in miles around this place. The Greek garlic yogurt was good, as were the mildly pickled vegetables. I got the spring mix instead of rice mix. The hummus was good, tasted fresh. Prices are about $1.50 more than advertised on their current printed menu list - a serious issue. I would go back but I know what I am not ordering next time - baba ghanoush! We did not see a tip jar. It would be nice if we could add a voluntary tip for the good service of employees. read more

Came for lunch and got chicken shawarma over rice with a bunch of toppings as well as tahini and jalapeno dressing. I like that it comes with pita for no extra charge. The staff work quickly and are friendly. The portion was very good and the bowl tasted delicious. It is not expensive, but not cheap either. Good spot for a quick filling meal. read more

Good Middle Eastern fast food. I tried a wrap with shawarma lamb, shish kebab. It was very flavorful.

Delicious! Like a Mediterranean chipotle. Needed a quick dinner before a concert and this was very yummy and fresh. Lots of toppings and the chicken is great. I tried the chicken shawerma and chicken kabob and both were very good. Definitely a good lunch spot read more

This location is closed but they are fulfilling online orders. I ordered the Naya bowl with chicken shawarma, Side of Rice with Vermicelli, Yogurt Cucumber, Hummus, Baba Ghannouj, Green & Red Cabbage, chopped romaine, tomatoes, olives and pita. read more

Delicious healthy fresh middle eastern food/salad. Great staff and fast service. Clean place to eat in too. Well worth the price

Basic falafel place, tasty. Rice had gluten in it, so only option for gf was salad with falafel or protein, but it was very good. read more

This place is like chipotle but for Mediterranean food. It's great! I got a wrap that was a bit under $10. They have a lot of different sauces and hummus and other toppings like tomatoes/ onions/ cucumbers. I got the chicken shawarma which I thought tasted good. They also press your wrap before they wrap it. At the time I was there you could get $5 off your first order if you download their app and use it to pay for your order. read more

Another mediocre almost flavorless production line falafel. Skip it. read more

Good deal, good ingredients, and good side dishes. A great middle eastern place for an even better price. It's just superior.

This has become my go to after work spot to grab quick and delicious food before hopping on the train home from Penn Station. It is so delicious!!! Naya is essentially Chipotle except with Middle Eastern Lebanese food. I absolutely love the chicken shawarma rice bowl with all of their fresh toppings and flavorful sauces. It's always fast and easy in and out and they have an app that you can order ahead with or use to easily pay and earn points and rewards. I will certainly be back again and again for this quick and delicious meal. read more

Wow absolutely delicious! Great items to choose from. The best chicken I've ever had and they have a discount for the first time you use their app. Will definitely return here. yummy! read more

Such a great lunch spot! They don't skimp out on the food and give you a wide variety of toppings. I got the chicken shawarma with rice/greens and it was bomb! I highly recommend getting the spicy sauce on top (it's not too hot). I will definitely be returning!! read more

I have eaten here, at this specific Naya, probably three times and ordered take out another three times, for a total of a half dozen experiences. I do so when I am coming from or headed to Penn Station; I see they have opened at counter inside the new Moynihan Train Hall, which I have not tried; I like to stretch my legs a bit and walk, so I might well simply continue to patronize this option, which is less than a five minute walk away. I almost always have the falafel wrap. I can attest to the quality of the ingredients, including the toppings; the efficiency of the service, without exception; and the general ambiance, which is better than I'd expect in Manhattan -- no disparagement intended of my adopted home, but just realism about New York City and the crowded nature of most fast food joints (Five Guys, which I like despite trying to eat much less meat, is just always jammed with people). What I wonder is why there are not more of these. I see they actually are becoming a chain. They are competitive in price, serving size, and the speed of the overall experience, with McDonald's or the like. But they have an advantage. I am confident, even if you are enjoying a meat protein and add quite a bit of what they offer as extras, the cuisine is better for you. I feel good after eating here, not in a smug self-righteous manner, but in the sense that my body responds better than if I had a meal with high calories, artificial ingredients, and deep fried items. I expect to stop at Naya next week when I take Amtrak. I put it on my calendar. read more

It's a shame. I love the food. 2 stars for service. Went there on Friday for lunch. I brought a co worker who's never been. The workers there have no idea what they are serving and if you ask any questions they throw major attitude. The guy serving rice couldn't explain the difference and if you ask more questions he throws an attitude and says one is GF. What? The lady on the line rolls her eyes and sighs loudly if you ask a question . We simply asked what type of sauces she was serving. There wasn't a long line but we were rushed anyway. There was literally one other person there. If felt like a prison line. We def complained to the manager on duty. What a shame because the food is good. The staff needs a lot of training. read more

Delicious! Stopped by to get some lunch and best decision that day! I had the chicken shish taouk bowl. 4.8/5 The best part about the food here is the unlimited toppings so of course I got a bunch of toppings I would recommend getting the hummus, garlic whip, baba ghannouj and the Cucumber and yogurt! Taste so much better! Can't wait to get this again! read more
