I've always loved Naya, and I'm so glad it wasn't impacted by COVID!

Food was amazing as always. Sampled several different dishes. The meat (kabobs) in particular was well cooked and delicious. Server appeared at exactly the right times to check in not too much and not too little. Highly recommend reservations.

The food is excellent great for sharing and a wonderful ambiance for quiet conversation.

As always, the food was incredibly fresh and delicious. The salad was perfectly crunchy, and the kibbe was the best I've ever had.

Always consistent for good food, service and good price!

NAYA Mezze brings a taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine, combining flavorful dishes with attentive service. Many diners appreciate the freshness and variety offered, especially with highlights like tabbouleh, kofta kebabs, and beautifully prepared eggplant. However, some customers have noted a decline in ingredient quality and the need for better communication regarding special menu items like kibe naya, which requires advance ordering. Despite minor setbacks, the welcoming atmosphere and well-executed dishes continue to attract patrons, making it a recommended spot for those seeking Mediterranean delights. Overall, the restaurant remains a beloved choice for both new and returning guests.

I had an exceptional meal that was both fresh and delicious. The wait staff were wonderful and attentive. The only downside was that the hostess seemed to be having a rough day, but overall, it was an A+ dining experience.

Having lived in Beirut for a time, I can say that the food at this restaurant is authentically Lebanese! It was delicious and the service excellent. We will be back!

Awesome as always. Only comment is about not having the kibe naya although in the menu. They said we had to order with 2 days in advance given local regulations. Would be great to know about it when making the reservation so we can order the kibe naya. We really love it and got frustrated for not being possible to have it.

I ordered the Naya salad with lamb, but I was let down when the lamb arrived cold and tasted quite gamey. Moreover, there were hardly any greens in the dish, and it was disappointing that no hummus was included either!

My order was completely incorrect. Everything was wrong.

This restaurant was once fantastic, but the quality of the ingredients has fallen off. The sandwiches are stale now and no longer feature authentic pita bread. Moreover, the bowls have fewer options than before. I used to visit often, but now I hardly do, and whenever I do, I’m reminded that the quality just isn’t what it used to be.

The rice at Naya Mezze Grill is quite tough and hard to chew. I suggest heading to Naya near Union Square for a much better quality menu.

The bowl was good but the wrap/roll was stale.

Incredibly rude staff don’t place an order to pick up here. They won’t tell you it’s ready and then you need to walk through a dimly lit room to find it. Service: Take out

Each dish reflects care and attention to flavor. I make this a regular stop because it's always good. They serve typical items for this type of place. The service team showed real warmth. This restaurant earned my recommendation. Service: Take out Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Not sure

The most cost effective lunch spot in this neighborhood. I have been ordering a salad bowl with chicken $14) for my lunch. If you use their app to order, you can get your food relatively fast usually under 10-15 mins) and accumulate their rewards. You can dine in but the sitting area is pretty tight. People usually stand around the dining area waiting for their food. I would recommend take-out. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3
