Avin Narasimhan

Excellent, fairly healthy lunch option if you work in the area. Lamb kofte is fantastic. Whatever you get, make sure you top it with the spicy green sauce + tahini .

Rewan Parti

Avoid the rush for lunch by getting in before 12pm. Also have their chicken bowl or Kafta bowl. Their orange and green sauce are a must drizzle on your bowl or sandwich . Fresh, tasty and reasonable...

Sandra Rubinchik

Line moves super fast. Almost as fast as I devoured the beef shawarma roll.

Ryan

Amazing lunch spot . Get a bowl, pick a meat, and ask for everything in it.

Naya Bowl , chicken shwarma was amazing. Get that gaarlic whip. This lemonade/tea was bang too. Smitty Approved. Fast Food/Moving Quick Awaard.

Wow. The beef shawarma wrap on whole wheat is so damn good. Got mine with red sauce , jalapeños and other stuff. So fresh and delicious!

Lebanese food , Chipotle style. This is a wonderful place for gluten free vegetarians !!

Devonta

PRO TIP: Instead of waiting in the super long line ... order on GrubHub and walk straight to the back and pick up your order.

Tom DiMaggio

I'm in love with the sujuk. Incredibly tasty and filling. I wish I could order something else, but I can't get over the sujuk.

Yasemin Biktim

Best place to eat in New York!! Food is outstanding!! Very tasty.. Try the Lamb Sish Kebab with Babaganoush ???? Love this place ❤️

Samantha ???? Lopez

Chicken Shwarma , falafel , green sauce , red sauce , everything is delicious! And the grape leaves are the best!

Pia

Naya has taken the Chipotle assembly line concept, serving a limited number of delcious mediterranean items in a "to-go" fashion. My fave is the chicken shish taouk roll. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Middle Eastern Chipotle. Long lines that move quickly. Lamb is a bit dry though, chicken is the way to go.

Jimmy Chrabieh

Great Lebanese food , clean and delicious everything here shouts tasty! Don't hesitate to try anything on the menu.

Mischa

Get chicken shawarma , the other variety is dry as hell. Or get the salad with the lamb , portions will be generous and suffice any appetite.

AmateurConcierge

Should rename it FIYA Express....cuz it tastes good. Think Lebanese Chipotle. Make sure you get green hot sauce at the register

Yucca Frita

I haven't had the Lebanese version of pizza ( manooch) in ages. Quite flavorful ground meat topping. And rekakat was heavenly for those cheese lovers!

Alexandra Plemmons

If you love spice, add extra Jalapeños plus green sauce to your order! Fresh and quick! Love this place.

Amy Robertson

Lebanese food meets a chipotle is a quick and healthy lunch or dinner . Be sure to try the labne

Mike Dizon

So delish. As many have said, the garlic whip is great, but you better be packing some breath mints . (this tip written from the insanely long line )

Aditi

Naya your way- get the garlic whip & make sure you don't have any hot dates to attend the rest of the evening

Naya roll with falafal, Hummos, pickled veggies and hot sauce with tahini is awesome. Wheat wrap is light and tasty.

Brian Karfunkel

The line is very long at lunchtime, but it moves pretty fast. Limited seating .

Nat Nat

l-l-love Naya express. Great for lunch - i recommend the Chicken Shawarma wrap with hummus , jalapeno , red pickles , lettuce and tomato . Falafel is great as well !

Sue-Yen Yong

Falafel Salad , the garlic sauce and red & green hot sauces

Nick Montoya

Basically the middle eastern answer to Chipotle. Wrap , bowl or salad with plenty of sauces and toppings to choose from

Lucas Ullrich

The quality of the food is constantly high which is exactly what you want when you get lunch .

Jade Bailey-Assam

If you like spicy , try the green sauce . So good!

Jason Brew

Very good falafel wrap with hummus

Not my taste of food. The line wrapped around the side of the street during lunch hours. Friendly staff and clean

You have to watch the male servers very carefully. They will use dirty cutting utensils if given an opportunity.
