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 PartiFebruary 9, 2016Avoid 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...
Line moves super fast. Almost as fast as I devoured the beef shawarma roll.
- smitty smoovOctober 9, 2013Naya Bowl, chicken shwarma was amazing. Get that gaarlic whip. This lemonade/tea was bang too. Smitty Approved. Fast Food/Moving Quick Awaard.
L 2KJanuary 23, 2017Lebanese food, Chipotle style. This is a wonderful place for gluten free vegetarians!!
Daniel WJune 20, 2016Wow. The beef shawarma wrap on whole wheat is so damn good. Got mine with red sauce, jalapeños and other stuff. So fresh and delicious!
PRO TIP: Instead of waiting in the super long line... order on GrubHub and walk straight to the back and pick up your order.
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 BiktimMay 16, 2014Best place to eat in New York!! Food is outstanding!! Very tasty.. Try the Lamb Sish Kebab with Babaganoush 😊 Love this place ❤️
Chicken Shwarma, falafel, green sauce, red sauce, everything is delicious! And the grape leaves are the best!
Sung CFebruary 16, 2016Middle Eastern Chipotle. Long lines that move quickly. Lamb is a bit dry though, chicken is the way to go.
Jimmy ChrabiehSeptember 26, 2014Great Lebanese food, clean and delicious everything here shouts tasty! Don't hesitate to try anything on the menu.
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.
AmateurConciergeOctober 8, 2015Should rename it FIYA Express....cuz it tastes good. Think Lebanese Chipotle. Make sure you get green hot sauce at the register
Yucca FritaMarch 15, 2012I 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 PlemmonsApril 1, 2014If you love spice, add extra Jalapeños plus green sauce to your order! Fresh and quick! Love this place.
Lebanese food meets a chipotle is a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. Be sure to try the labne
Mike DizonFebruary 23, 2012So 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)
AditiFebruary 1, 2016Naya your way- get the garlic whip & make sure you don't have any hot dates to attend the rest of the evening
Shannon *November 2, 2011Naya roll with falafal, Hummos, pickled veggies and hot sauce with tahini is awesome. Wheat wrap is light and tasty.
Brian KarfunkelSeptember 4, 2014The line is very long at lunchtime, but it moves pretty fast. Limited seating.
Nat NatSeptember 25, 2010l-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!
Lucas UllrichJanuary 23, 2015The quality of the food is constantly high which is exactly what you want when you get lunch.
Basically the middle eastern answer to Chipotle. Wrap, bowl or salad with plenty of sauces and toppings to choose from
Sarah EvcicDecember 4, 2016Not my taste of food. The line wrapped around the side of the street during lunch hours. Friendly staff and clean
Nicholas BorgeApril 5, 2016Don't stay - it's freezing cold in the sitting area. Grab your food and head back to the office.
Wraps come with a lot of garlic, but you can ask to leave it off.
m.g.May 6, 2010get a salad w half chicken schwarma and half falafel, hummus, red spicy sauce and veggies, YUM.
- HygMarch 25, 2011Naya Bowl with Beef Kebab, Garlic Whip, Hummus, Pickles, Tomatoes, Lettuce and Onions
MARIE TMay 24, 2013You have to watch the male servers very carefully. They will use dirty cutting utensils if given an opportunity.
- The garlic whip is SO good, but be prepared for major garlic breath.

"My favorite!. I visit every time I'm here in the city. Fattouch, spicy shrimp, spicy hummus, schwarma. Don't let the waiter take away spicy shrimp bowl until you've soaked up every drop with the pita."
