“Naya has been my go-to lunch meal at the Roosevelt Field mall. After a long walk around the mall for exercise, I order and eat a delicious, healthy, and filling bowl of goodness. The offerings are delicious Middle Eastern choices to pick from, creating your own special bowl. Fresh vegetables like Sumac onion, cucumber, jalapeno, cabbage slaw, tomatoes, and many other toppings. You can add hummus, red pepper hummus, Baba Ghannouj, cucumber yogurt to your salad. Top it off with Spicy Red Pepper Sauce, Lemon Tahini, Pomegranate Dressing, and/or pita crunch. They also offer Little Tabboule, grape leaves, cabbage slaw to name a few. Perhaps trying out their falafel, kibbe, fatayer, or rekakat. Everything is delicious, wholesome, nutritious, and very affordable at under $20.“

“Abu Zayn’s crispy beef laffa was straight fire and the chicken one as well I prefer the red meat it’s perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside with that insane crunch on the outside. Honestly one of the best wraps I’ve had in a while. The portions hit, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes fresh. If you’re sleeping on this spot, you’re missing out easily a go-to when I’m craving something light Arab satisfying, and actually worth the money. Yea it’s pricey but worth it.“

There’s an outdoor patio, that for obvious reason we couldn’t use. The temperatures in NY have been in the single digits lately. The food and the service were on another level! Gregory was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food was finger liking good! I had the pan seared scallops with spinach risotto and OMG. I can’t wait to go back. Everyone was pleased with the their food choices and I highly recommend this place, unfortunately I didn’t take pics of everyone’s food. Only if mine, I hope you find this review useful.
