Lebanese Restaurants in New York, NY

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“We are frequent customers, but today was truly something else. Normally our visits are not this special, but Amelia completely changed our experience. This Midtown location is my favorite, and even though we live in New Jersey, we still make this trip to Auzatar every 3 months because it’s always worth the trip.

But today stood out in the best way. Amelia went above and beyond with her service — she was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel valued and comfortable from start to finish.

We love Amelia so much that we will be coming back with friends and family — but only on the days Amelia is here! She is truly exceptional and made our visit unforgettable.“

“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“First of all, my chicken sandwich was SO flavourful, as well as my avocado zaartar salad. Thank you!“

“Been here twice and the food is omg fabulous and so aromatic . It’s also BYOB with no cork fee. Lovely like cozy spot in East Village. Shared this mixed grill platter with a friend and was just enough to fill us up.“

“Really cozy little spot! The place is small but super welcoming.
The pancakes are huge — definitely something to share. They come with a good amount of cheese, though the batter could be a bit moister. There’s this aromatic flavor that makes them a little different — depends on your taste, but I kinda liked it.
The chicken sandwich was awesome, and the service was great too. Everyone there was super nice and friendly.“

“Lavashawarma is absolutely excellent! 🌟 From start to finish, everything was perfect — the food is delicious and fresh, the staff are so kind and helpful, and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. The delivery was also fast and professional. Honestly, every detail shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

“Me encantó !!! Comida libanesa deliciosa y exquisita ♥️“

“I grabbed the Falafel Bowl from Naya - 39th & Broadway through MealPal and wow, it’s a flavor bomb! The creamy tahini and zesty spicy smoky red sauce kicked the fresh cabbage slaw and pickled cucumber up a notch. So savory and spiced perfectly—highly recommend!“

“First time trying this Lebanese food chain and it exceeds my expectations!

Location: It is located along Madison Avenue behind St. Patricks cathedral. There are few seatings inside.

Service: it is a step by step process. Not that much interaction cause you just have to tell them which choices you want.

Food: I got the Naya Bowl. And it was the best. It is a step by step process so here is what I got.

STEP 1: you can choose naya roll, naya bowl or naya salad. I chose the bowl cause it has rice with vermicelli.

STEP 2: choose 2 meats. I chose beef shawarma which is super tender and flavorful. The second meat was kafta lamb kebab, it was 2 pieces but it was delicious, very moist inside its like a small patty burger.

STEP 3: choose toppings. I chose hummus, tahini, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, feta cheese, chopped romaine.

I got also pistachio baklava and their warm feta bread on the side. This is a must!

Price rating: 7/10 price range. It was not bad, I paid $19 for naya bowl, baklava and bread.

I will definitely come back here to try the other choices.“

“This spot deserves recognition for consistent quality. Each dish represents quality ingredients. The team was prompt, effective, and friendly. NAYA offers the complete range of foods I like. I genuinely like this restaurant and you'll like it too.“

“one of my fav restaurants in NYC“

“Something different, I really enjoyed it.“

“Wonderful service…excellent food“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“I had a great experience at Naya Mediterranean Food on Broadway! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. I especially want to thank Casimiro, the manager—he was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly very hardworking
Highly recommend this place, both for the food and the great people behind it!“

“This restaurant adds something missing from our neighborhood. The food satisfies and the service impresses. Her cheerful approach sincerely transformed my experience. They showcase their specialty effectively. I believe you'll enjoy this spot.“

“I stopped by for lunch in the area. It was a good amount of seating space and looked nice and clean overall. I ordered a bowl with the shredded chicken, which was halal. Pricing was okay for the portion size. Sauces were that flavorful so the food tasted a bit bland, could taste a lot better if I had added more sauce probably. Staff were friendly and service was fast and smooth.“

“Best restaurant I've ever found in midtown (and I've been here for a few years). . . . FIVE STARS! after having Tawook Chicken or Lamb Kabob for dinner I like to take home some Mouhamara and some hummus, especially on a Friday, for snacking. Balade helps get me through the weekend. 😄 I'm sharing a pic of some of Balade's fresh, delicious, Mouhamara on a diced up baked red potato. I had this at home this morning. It's also great on pita, or a cracker, or a slice of toast, or . . .“

“Excellent food, large portions and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend NAYA!“

“The best thing is the size of the servings. Ten dollars really fill you up, even when you are hungry. The falafel and the hummus are above average. Just don't ask them to spice it up with jalapeños; they are raw and just don't fit as a condiment. I wish they would use harsissa instead.“

“Loved being able to grab a tasty vegan wrap before a long train ride. I ordered in the station and made it through a long line very quickly with a meal wrapped for later. The flavors were lovely and I was able to choose so many distinct toppings like Lebanese pickles, pickled turnips, slaw, and hot sauce.“

“Omg! I love this place, too delicious 😋“

“it was delicious, all ingredients seemed fresh and very tasty without the need to be over salty greasy and sweet. Too bad the pita bread is served cold, would be a lot better if this was hot. We asked and were told that they don’t do it. Owners, managers out there hear us out: either serve the pita bread hot or allow customers to heat it up in a MWave.“
