“Really enyjoyed the mixed grill and hummus, and the sauces they brought in these cute, little bottles to accompany the pita were really tasty. I liked the gooey, thick Lebanese dumplings as well, I wish they weren’t drowned in yoghurt too. Service was fast, prices good. Solid place, but the tables are too small for those big plates.“
“We literally stumbled upon this place walking down 1st ave looking for a place to eat and wow, what a find!! We had brunch which was amazing! I had the Au Za’atar breakfast and my husband had the halloumi omelette and they were both excellent. They brought us all these dipping sauces and toum (garlic spread) and we had labneh and fresh little Lebanese naans (bread) as an appetizer. So good!!. Gio (our waiter) was the best, so sweet and attentive and even gave me two little tubs of toum to take home. I highly recommend this gem and we will definitely be going back.“
“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!“
“A-mazing!! Tiny little hole in the wall Mediterran lunch spot. Only six tables and the chef was on his own that day. No servers or cleanup staff that I could see. He did it all! But Best was the Food!! Tasty and Huge, we had falafel, wraps in handmade thin bread. I ordered the Vegan sandwich, which included roasted eggplant, and cauliflower, hummus, lettuce tomatoes, and french fries! It was warm with a juice or gravy of some sort. It was delicious, if messy.! I look forward to my next visit.“
“I had dinner at Lashevet restaurant last week. The food was outstanding! I had octopus for an appetizer and salmon for a main course. It was delicious ! The humus was blended with beats and was absolutely delicious! I have never tried anything like that before! I had Basbousa St Germain cake for desert. It was to die for! And then they gave me tea with ginger, lime, mint and honey. I had an incredible evening and delicious dinner! The ambiance in the restaurant was very relaxing after a hard day at work. I will definitely be back and this time for both dinner and breakfast that I hear has incredible deserts.“
“Went here to celebrate my birthday yesterday and the place was busy! They were a little delayed on our table for our reservation but the maitre d went above and beyond to make sure our party of 8 enjoyed the experience despite the wait! We were offered wine on the house, a complimentary birthday shot of tequila, as well as another round for the table! The vibe at this place was beyond expectations. Our group’s ages ranged from 39-57 and not a single person was disappointed. We did the prefixed menu which was so much food. We left with several containers to take home!Overall, I highly recommend this place and hope to come back again soon!!“
“We really enjoyed our food and everything was fresh, clean and tasty. The Waiter, Freddy, was very attentive and quick. He gave us excellent suggestions and he made a very delicious Chai latte both hot ? and iced. The atmosphere is clean and beautiful and peaceful. We'll be back!“
“A Lebanese Culinary Tease with NabilasOur first experience with Nabilas, though slightly marred by an incomplete delivery, left us craving more of their Lebanese culinary mastery. The dishes we received, the lamb stew and the fattoush salad, were nothing short of spectacular, setting a new benchmark for our taste buds.The lamb stew was a revelation, richly flavored, tender, and cooked to perfection, embodying the essence of traditional Lebanese cuisine. The fattoush salad, with its fresh, crisp ingredients and zesty dressing, was a refreshing counterpart that completed the meal beautifully.Although there was a hiccup with our order—the roasted potato appetizer arrived without the potatoes—the accompanying sauce was so flavorful that it alone has us eager to give Nabilas another try. The minor disappointment of the missing items could not overshadow the quality of what we did receive.The allure of Nabilas extends beyond its food. The glimpses of its ambiance, romantic and elegant, promise a dining experience that's both atmospheric and inviting. We are keenly looking forward to visiting in person, not just to savor the complete array of their offerings, but also to soak in the vibe of their dining space.Despite the initial oversight, Nabilas has left an indelible impression on us, and we are wholeheartedly committed to returning. The taste of what we experienced, even in part, was enough to ensure that. Here's to the next visit, which, we hope, will be as mind-blowing as the flavors that have already captivated us. ??✨“
“Had the pleasure of dining at this fine establishment with three of my closest friends. Not only was the atmosphere welcoming, staff lovely, but the food was delicious. Perfect place to catch up with loved ones, while simultaneously enjoying homemade stuffed grape leaves or hummus. Will be back. Thank you!“
“Underrated GEM! How lucky am I to have found this place? Mediterranean food is growing on me and I crave it so often now. Finding this place is a game changer! While I wasn't expecting a place like this to have $25 menu items, it's totally worth it! We got the grilled lamb chops for $25 which is a bit pricey but believe me when I tell you it's worth it! While waiting for our takeout, we chatted up the nice lad at the counter who was kind enough to tell us more about the neighborhood and what there is to do out here. Place is small and basic, i would likely order for takeout than dine in.“
“This place feels like a true NYC grab and go shop. First of all the food is excellent. So good. So fresh. Packed with TONNES of flavour. It’s also really well priced for how much food you get. Just good authentic middle eastern cuisine.But it’s more than that - when we visit we try to stop by because the family that owns it is just great. They make conversation. Remember your order. Talk to you like your family. Just great vibes all around.“
“Fatima Grill sounds like a fantastic dining spot offering a delightful fusion of Mexican and Middle Eastern cuisines. Birria tacos are a standout recommendation. It seems like a place worth visiting for those seeking a unique and delicious dining experience.“
“A true 5/5!!Delicious food.We came in around 12:15 on a Saturday and they were able to immediately seat our party of 6.Service was quick and waiter was helpful.Cute and clean bathroom.The freshly baked pita that we watched go into the big oven was just a cherry on top!The only thing I didn’t love was the turkey bacon but otherwise I’m in love“
“My visit to the restaurant was a fantastic experience! The stunning decor set an impressive stage right from the start, which was nicely complemented by the polite reception from the hostess. Being seated at a corner table offers a bit more privacy and comfort, which seems to have added to my experience .Golden, the waitress, clearly made a memorable impact with her excellent service—taking the time to explain the menu details thoroughly . the food not only tasted good but was also visually appealing, which is a testament to the kitchen's attention to detail.Managers Michele / nickname (Miki) really show the difference that dedicated leadership can make in hospitality. His efforts to check in on my table and even take the time to show us the rooftop illustrate a commitment to guest satisfaction that goes above and beyond.Overall, my review highlights is that this restaurant doesn't just serve food but creates an enjoyable and memorable dining experience through attentive service and personal touches. This place definitely seems worth recommending!I'll be backKaren“
“First time at this location (usually go to the one on Bleeker) and loved how spacious it is! Staff is friendly, food is great, and they have a nice assortment of pantry goods. The labneh is one of my favorites, and even better when you put some Sumac on top. The Fatayer is my go to, nice flavors and spices.“
“I never leave reviews but this place is so great I had to give a shout out! I love Lebanese food and everything here is incredible and authentic, all home made and it shows. Definitely stop by in person and chat with Abdullah, the owner - as others mentioned he will make you feel so welcome, best part of the middle eastern food experience!“
“Nice little place with fresh food every day and mini market and butcher. The best wrap sandwiches at an awesome price. I go offen. They have rotisserie chicken, but they barely season it, so will not buy it again. Always have kibbi and food is always selling out, so fo early. Best lunch in the area. At a good “
“I think they have a fantastic menu. Very healthy fast food I would qualify it because the time you spend there to be serve and eat makes it really comfortable and convenient if you are on the go. I love the quality of the food, I tried the falafel bowl, with the unlimited topics. The food was properly seasoned and tasty. I am moving on to be vegan so it's a relief to know new places like this where I can still eat without worrying about hidden surprises. Definitely I will be back and keep growing!“
“It's so fun to eat food with your hands, and although the triangle folded up isn't the most practical shape for that, it still works. The vegan spinach is the best! Order to go or squeeze around one of the tables here. The desserts are phenomenal. Watch the steps on the way out!“
“Naya @ Moynihan Train Hall is my favorite Naya location ! Love their Shawarma chicken & roasted cauliflower. Order ahead for pick up & it’s always fresh & ready for me to grab & catch my train.Also, unlike other “salad” places, Naya has unlimited toppings that’s included in the price !! You can’t beat that perk, exotic flavors & it’s healthy !!!“
“What a surprising find and are we happy! Such interesting unique (to me) options and plenty of vegetarian food, creative! The cauliflower pita was cinnamony & good especially with some added dips. The tuna was quite good, even my 11y liked. 13y liked the sausage sandwich. Had to fend off family from the dips and soft seasoned pita ;) Will definitely be ordering here again!“
“Ordered on their website for pick up - super convenient! There was someone at the pick up register to help me expedite the order. Clean space, decent amount of seating, but low side tables (along wall) so not as ergonomic. Will def be back! Great pita! Got the beef sharwna, baba goulash, veggie toppings, and feta“
“Tasty, healthy and reasonably priced food can be hard to come by in Manhattan. Naya is one of best in these regards! I pickup lunch from them about once a week and they always have my order ready when promised and usually someone helping me find my order which is great!Dietary restrictions: I’m vegan and can find quite a few things to eat here. Vegans have to go with the ruby rice and have to avoid the baba ganoush, which is unfortunate because baba ganoush is usually vegan and one of my favorites!y“
“This place is seriously delicious! Ordered for delivery and everything was packed nicely and everything was there! Got the bowl with vermicelli rice, chicken shish taouk, garlic whip, baba ghannouj, onion-parsley sumac , cucumber and mild red sauce. Every dish comes with pita which is absolutely delicious! The serving size is pretty decent, I wish that the sides were cut a little smaller and they have more of it, rather than a few little pieces. The rice is always good and flavorful, the chicken shish is okay, I prefer the chicken shawarma. The garlic whip is tasty, I wish there was more of it! The baba ghannouj is so good I always get a side of it! It comes with one pita, but you really need to buy extra pita for it! So good! Def would be coming back again!“
“My wife and I met another couple for dinner last night at roses. I was searching for a restaurant on yelp in the Englewood area as it was halfway between our friends and I. Made a reservation for 530 and when we showed up we were the only customers in the restaurant. not a lot of atmosphere, but clean. The menu looked interesting. We ordered hummus & Babaganoush To share, I had the mixed grill, my friend had the Rosies mixed grill. My wife had the Shawarma and her other friend had the chicken kebab. Everything was fresh, moist, and excellent, particularly the Shawarma. One other family of three came in while we're eating, but otherwise, the restaurant was empty. Our server was attentive and respectful, and took good care of us. He told us that they are usually very crowded on the weekends - understandable since it was Monday of a holiday weekend. We will definitely be back again !“
“The staff is really what has me coming backThis location has a great placeA group of people, they are wonderful and so sweet and always work hard!!! It is also very busy at this location and the employees are just so darn nice and great! Thank you!!!!! know how hard it can get sometimes but let me tell ya, this staff is the best!!!Amazingly, it is delicious and crunchy food. I want to eat it in a dream again. Thank you for eating. Thank you, drowning person. To provide such performance with success for a better and better future ??“
“Food is always tasty and ready in no time. Today I decided to go and order there instead of ordering online. Turns out it’s faster. There was a long line went I got there but it moved really fast. The workers are very efficient! And to my surprise the is no tip jar or tip option while paying for your order. Hey Naya your workers deserve tips!! I’m sure many people like me would gladly give extra in return to their effective cordial service :)“
“We ordered falafel on a plate and a tortilla with shawarma, it was really tasty and satisfying.I liked that there is a variety and everyone can put together their dish as they like it.good price!$28 per couple includes two bottles of water.Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Anyone can put together the meal the way they like it, vegetarians have rice, cauliflower, falafel, vegetables and a variety of sauces and you can put together a delicious and satisfying plate“
“I’ve been going to the Tripoli since I was a child (1975, so I was 2 years old). At first, the draw was their authentic pastries (their Birds Nests are TOP NOTCH!!!). To this day, I love their traditional Lebanese cuisine (their humus, babaghanouj and tabouli are AMAZING as is their shish-kabob and chicken shishtaouk). If ever you find yourself on the border between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill Brooklyn (NYC), I can’t recommend them enough!!!“
“Beautiful restaurant, and we really enjoyed the quaint casual vibe of the space. Truly delicious food--the hummus was so smooth. The staff were all friendly and well-versed in the menu. We'll definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled vegan dishes.“
“Went here for a solo date night alone. The food portions were generous and delicious. I got the chicken touk, the kunafa. The kunafa is a must try (though I took more than half home).The drink I got, passion project, was incredible as well.“
“This place offer a fantastic culinary experience with a wide variety of flavorful dishes, generous portions, and welcoming atmospheres. If you appreciate delicious grilled meats, vibrant vegetarian options, and a taste of Middle Eastern hospitality, a visit to Naya is highly “
Recommended
“This is my favorite place to eat while visiting central NY. The food is amazing. Hummus, Kibbe, tabbouleh, fresh pita bread, it's all absolutely amazing. Seagan and Mary are the nicest people you'll ever meet. This is a must stop location if you enjoy Middle Eastern food!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp attached to the front door and wide paths throughout.“
