    Tasty reliable food and grateful for the halal chicken shawarma! Staff were happy to help me and move through the line efficiently.

    NAYA continues to be delicious. Would definitely stop by again next time at the Moynihan train hall. Quick service and delicious toppings. The chicken shawarma bowl = perfection

    Best value in the Moynihan Train Hall when it comes to a tasty, easy meal. Surprisingly cheap considering Cava and others charge 5-10$ more for what I got. We got their bowls and they were tasty! Everything was seasoned to our liking and it even came with a pita (don't forget to ask for it)! Recommended! Food Hall was kinda loud but that's not Naya's fault.

    This store is conveniently located in Moynihan amongst all the other restaurants in the food hall. Similarly to CAVA or Chipotle, you can pick your ingredients to make your bowl. Service is relatively fast, and plenty of seating that is shared by all the other food options. For personal preference, I would rate taim, then CAVA, then NAYA... but it's still a good bowl to have if your preferred store isn't around!

    We were in a rush to get dinner before our train left and thought this was the the best option since it was the most affordable for the amount given. Also, we liked the food too, it reminds me of cava but better sauces & flavors so I thoroughly enjoyed my falafel bowl!

    [November 2024] This was the perfect wind-down from a long day of day-tripping/site-seeing around NYC. I've never heard of NAYA, but decided to give it a shot. It was delicious. The food was fresh and tasted just as good as it looked and even better than it smelled. There were lots of toppings and fixings to choose from, so I got a little of this and even more of that with my order. I opted for a salad bowl with a little bit of everything and a side of falafel and a scoop of hummus. (I regret not ordering two.) __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

    What a great fast casual spot inside Moynihan Food Hall perfect for grab and go before or after your train. While it was a bit oilier than Cava, the ingredients were equally fresh, flavorful, and well portioned. I got a salad bowl with half chicken kebab, half cauliflower, and almost all of the unlimited toppings, which made the perfect filling meal for just $12.99 ($11.99 if I had only gotten cauliflower). The service was fast and friendly. This has become one of my go-to fast casual spots in Moynihan.

    When you're waiting for your train at Moynihan Train Hall, you've got a lot of excellent options for food. However, there aren't that many "healthy" options, and by that I just mean options that include greens and/or vegetables. Naya is one, and it's a good one. If you've ever had Cava, Naya is a similar shop. It's a lot of Middle Eastern flavors, done quite well, and you step up to the counter and ask them to throw whatever flavors you choose into a giant bowl (or wrap, or salad) for the scarfing. I'm always a combination of greens and grains base guy, and I've had both the chicken shawarma and the chicken kebabs, and I've been pleasantly surprised by both. One time, I even got both because I need that protein in my life. I know, I'm a wild man. From there, I keep it easy and tell the fine folks behind the counter to just give me everything: I want the hummus, the babaghanouj, and the toum. I want the cucumbers and their cousin the pickles, and the slaw and the feta and the onions and the olives and whatever else they want to load me up with. I'm not a monster though, I draw the line at getting all the sauces. So far, I've had the lemon tahini and the zesty green sauce too. Sure, you're just getting a bowl of food to eat in a big room staring at your phone like the rest of the people here, but at least at Naya, it's a big, flavorful, colorful bowl of tasty, real food.

    Located inside the sparkling new Moynihan Train Hall across the street from the original Penn Station, this Naya location is one of several (excellently curated) restaurants at Moynihan Food Hall. It's quick & casual Mediterranean-Lebanese food with a "build your own" approach like Chipotle or Dos Toros (bowl, wrap or salad) and the food is delicious and healthy. I love that you can choose unlimited toppings, and the variety is great - I particularly like the hummus, garlic whip, and pickled turnips. Top it off with some red & green sauce and/or tahini and you're ready to jam! Your meal comes with a pita. I always order a bowl and it's very filling, and I get to pat myself on the back for having eaten a balanced and clean meal with proteins, veggies, carbs, and good fats. Prices are reasonable and typical, $11-$13 for a bowl at current writing, less for a wrap. It's busy but the line moves fast, serving both travelers and the midtown office crowd. The seating area in the food hall is spacious though gets pretty packed during lunchtime. Online connection is perplexingly poor in the hall (or is it just my cell carrier?), but you can get onto the Moynihan train hall wi-fi.

    Was going to take a train in NY Penn station and stopped by Naya for a quick lunch . It was pretty good .. liked the concept .. almost like a chipotle for lebonese food . Service was quick and good . Costed about 12$ which is not bad for such a prime location. Had pita wrap and it was good . Filled up my tummy too. Hummus was awesome ... They also have felafels, shawarma etc. it gets busy in peak hours . Billing was quick today but not sure in peak hours. Overall I liked it .. 4 stars

    We love coming to Naya! Never a bad meal here and always the most filling! Makes me feel healthy while being tasty!

    NAYA Salad with chicken shawarma & Falafel pcs - complimentary toppings, Hummus Dip, tzatziki & Pita
    Irene S.

    If you need a quick meal that's light, healthy and filling, this is the place to check out. Service is fast, staff are patient, and plenty of toppings and helpings, including the pita bread to add to your meal free of charge. I got the Naya salad with chicken shawarma and topped it with a few falafel (added charge here). It did not disappoint. Food was fresh, sauces were decent, the garlic toum needed more garlic! Will be back when I'm on the go either to or from Penn Station.

    This Naya location is located inside the train station, you can grab food before you board. However, if you want to rank up your loyalty points, your data wouldn't work since it is located underground. Got the Naya bowl which comes with bread, it was delicious, you can pick your protein, toppings and sauces. There's plenty of places to sit since this location is within the food court in the train station. Although you cannot grab an alcoholic drink, there are alcoholic beverages within the food court.

    My friends and I arrived fairly early on Friday to dine in for brunch/lunch. We were greeted warmly…read moreby the cashier who told us to sit. The seating area is fairly small, which surprised me. We ordered the crispy garlic rice, the Piri Piri chicken sandwich, and the famous knefeh and chicken pancake. The server was so nice, she offered us a sample of the seasonal lemonade, which had rose water and turmeric. It did take a little bit of time for all the food to come out. We chit-chatted while we shared the garlic rice (a little crunchy, very mild) and the chicken sandwich. The PiriPiri sandwich came with a huge piece of fried chicken that was spiced and fried well. The chicken was juicy and not super dry. The little bit of pickled cabbage helped keep things from becoming too greasy. After a bit of wait, the pancake was served. It was such a fun experience with the crunchy kadayif noodles and the cheese hidden underneath a super fluffy pancake. The salty and cheesy flavors of the pancake went well with the rose maple syrup. The spice from the chicken added another note to the dish that made it such a great combo of flavor. I could not stop picking at this huge pancake. It's definitely meant to be eaten by at least two, if not three. If we had known, we probably wouldn't have ordered the other chicken sandwich. Overall the contrast in the chicken and knafeh pancake alone was enough to want me to visit again. The textural crunch, the melted pull of the cheese, the sweet syrup against salty and spicy flavors of the chicken. Not only was the whole presentation beautiful, but the dish itself tasted amazing. I would visit Hen House again for the experience.

The fig hummus is something special. Smooth, perfectly balanced with tahini, and unlike anything I've had before. My brother called it the best hummus he's ever had, and honestly I licked the plate clean! The falafel plate deserves its own moment. Warm, crispy on the outside, perfectly moist on the inside, and just the right amount of richness. Paired with the sauce, fresh salad, and rice, it was easily one of the most memorable meals I've had this year. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully put together. Truly some of the best falafel I've ever had. What really took the experience to another level was the service. After we paid, our waitress noticed I had blisters from breaking in new shoes and brought me two bandaids without me even asking. That kind of attention to detail is rare, if I could give 6 stars I would! They are also incredibly accommodating with dietary needs. When the waitress heard my brother was gluten free, she immediately brought out a new plate with double salad instead of rice. Fattoush goes above and beyond in every way. An unforgettable meal and experience. I cannot recommend it enough. I will absolutely be back to try more. Also a beautiful & quiet place to sit with friends or family. We made some very special memories here and laughed into the night.
