“ Aimed squarely at MetroTech's desk lunch crowd, NAYA is Lebanese food x Chipotle: bright sterile space, fast casual atmosphere, pick your protein, add your veggies. High quality falafel (crunchy and then soft without being doughy or crumbly) and free unlimited toppings means you can get exactly the falafel sandwich your heart desires. I like mine with cubed tomatoes, cucumbers and sliced red onions, with toum, tzatziki and lemon garlic sauce. Oh, and the price is right, too. $11 for a falafel that's a cut above what you can get at a bodega means lunch comes free of Suze Orman-style financial guilt. Now, back to your desk. Those TPS reports won't write themselves. ”

“ I got a wrap and a bowl, which was pretty cheap and it was so filling. A warp was around $10 and a bowl is around $14. Everything tasted amazing and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely come back again. ”

“ I am not the biggest Naya fan (especially when compared to Cava) but I did love the service at this location! If you are looking for decent middle eastern food, this is a great option! I got the chicken shawarma bowl with everything on it! The portion size is decent! This location was quiet on the day I went. There is a ton of seating available ”

“ First-time trying NAYA and I'm hooked! Fresh, tasty, and delicious food, especially the falafel and cauliflower. Tip: eat soon after purchasing, as pita bread can get soggy. Great customer service too - I'll be back! ”

“ Fresh, healthy fast-casual option if you're in this neighborhood. I especially enjoyed the chicken shish taouk, or marinated chunks of chicken breast, combined with the cucumber yogurt/hummus add-ins. Lots of options for customizing. If you love all the extra toppings like me, Naya has choices beyond just lettuce and tomato like olives, pickled onions, cabbage, pickled cucumbers. It reminded me of Cava but fresher and less heavy in the belly. They also have a bunch of smaller dips and sides, like grape leaves and tabboule salad, as well as appetizers like fried beef dumplings, mini pies, and pastries with haloumi. The one thing I didn't love was the nammoura made of semolina. It was way too sweet and the texture was too gritty/sandy. ”

“ I checked on the uber eats app, I noticed there was a BOGO deal and $5 coupon for NAYA. Since I was in this building already, I thought it was the logical choice to pick up lunch from here. Naya is a healthier option compare to the other places nearby (ABP, Pret, Five Guys) For $9, I was able to get two falafel bowls with green and garlic sauces. I ate one for lunch and I saved the other one for the next day. The falafels were well seasoned. The rice was favorable. And I thought the sauces hit the spot. The service was impeccable. They provided me with plastic fork/knife (2) and pita breads (2). Moreover, the sauces were packed neatly in the bag. I would definitely come back here again. ”

“ I was working nearby and tried the naya app for takeout from naya and it worked great! The app makes it super easy to order for any time and even though I ordered during their lunch rush, it was still very fast. I ordered a falafel bowl and everything that I got with it was great. The bowl was big enough for 2 meals for me and pick up was easy. It's not a place that you'd sit in and eat, but there's a nice courtyard nearby that you could definitely sit in when the weather is nicer. ”

“ NAYA is very similar to other Mediterranean / Middle Eastern restaurants like CAVA. You pick from either a bowl or a wrap, get an unlimited number of toppings, and even get pita on the side. I was particularly impressed with the tenderness of the chicken schwarma and the chewiness of the pita bread. There were also quite a few seats by the window with a ton of natural lughtOverall, I'd probably come back here again. ”

“ NAYA (like kaya lol) is a delicious fast casual option that packs the punch with flavor. They offer flavors from the Middle East and the setup is giving Chipotle. You go through the line customizing your meal, starting with a base, meat, then all the additional toppings that they have. I opted for their 'NAYA bowl' with vermicelli rice, some greens, chicken shawarma and too many toppings to count but one of my favorites was the hummus and pickled turnips (yum). I also ordered one of their hot appetizers ... which ended up taking pretty long because they weren't already prepared. Once received, I found it interesting that it only comes with one piece instead of a couple, so it's not shareable. All in all I wouldn't recommend an app, just stick with the main entrees because it's more than enough. Service could be a bit better with the team knowing more about the menu however I know this location is relatively new so I can understand. Overall a beautiful space, very refreshing once you enter in. This Naya is in Downtown Brooklyn where a lot of offices so I'm sure it gets bussyyyy during lunch hours. Would definitely return if I need a quick bite. ”

“ Came here for lunch and wouldn't hesitate stopping by again. I'm a big fan of Cava and this place is similar. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Bowl and it was full of goodness. It was filling and it didn't leave me stuffed. I honestly wasn't able to finish it all so I took it home and it tasted even better later on in the day since everything got to marinate together. There is seating indoors with sit down tables and standing room to eat. I ate there and overheard a lot of people ordering the falafels so I'll definitely try them next time. I'm also new to Lebanese food, so I'm looking forward to exploring the menu. ”
