The food here is hands down delicious. I very much enjoyed the taste of Lebanese culture that was expressed through the food I had here today. My friends and I decided to split the supreme mix which consisted of most of the meats served here, all cooked to perfection and flavorful. The rice was nothing special and I enjoyed the salty fries.
The reason I rated three starts is because
1) it was a hot, humid New York City day & the restaurant barley had AC on, luckily I wore lots of deodorant 😂.
2) this place has been getting some attention lately so how could they let their bathroom be out of sorts? My daughter ran out saying she saw a bug on the toilet and it made my heart drop. When I checked the bathroom there was in fact a small roach but even more strange… no toilet seat!
3) like I mentioned earlier, I had brought my daughter (7 years old) who asked the waitress for lemonade and when coming around toward the end of the bill the waitress had asked if she wanted another one, my daughter being a child excitedly said yes however I strongly said no… low and behold the waitress brought another lemonade and decided to charge us for it too…… the only thing worse than paying for something you ordered is something you didn’t want/order? 😂

Lastly this place looks very big in pictures but it’s definitely deceiving lol.

Come for the food!!

Love this place. Ate here for the second time on Friday. I lived in Lebanon for five years and can attest that the food is authentic and well prepared. We were a group of 4 women- had a hummus and fattoush (salad) to start and then the deluxe platter. Yes it is an expensive platter at $89, but it was enough meat for all 4 of us and we didn’t even finish it all! So we felt it was fairly priced. Service was great also, highly recommend

The food was the best Lebanese food of my life, other than my grandmother’s! You can rarely find sfia on a menu, and this was a total highlight, spiced and cooked perfectly, from the baked dough to the beef mixed with pine nuts, to the touch of cinnamon and allspice (I think!) The tabbouleh was also perfection, heavy on tomatoes and parsley, very light on bulgur wheat. We loved the vegetarian grape leaves, the labneh with a delicate layer of olive oil on top, the hummus and the fattoush. Be sure to get the vegetarian sampler plate so that you can sample all these dishes.

Another wonderful Halal spot. Our waiter Mohammed was a wonderful person to be around and the food was so delicious. My favorite was the hummus with lamb. A very tight spot and I would recommend getting there early to be able to get a good place to sit. Love it. Oh and definitely try the baklava.

Went for lunch, staff were very friendly and efficient. Sat in the outside dining area which was very fancy for an outside dining area. Had the dogs with me, and they were warmly greeted and well looked after as well :). Ordered the shish kebab and the chicken salad. They were cooked to order, which took an extra couple of minutes but lead to beautiful things happening on our plates. Absolutely delicious, nice big portions. A real gem. Will definitely be going back.

Our meat is Halal. Alcohol is also served.

Wow. This restaurant blew me away. It does everything it is supposed to do right, right. From the moment I was first greeted at the door to the moment I left, everything was great. They truly understood the Restaurant Week assignment and executed every dish that we ordered, to perfection. They will have my business in the future for sure. We ordered the hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, black iron shrimp, salmon, chicken breast and the two desserts. Everything was amazing. It was a new burst of flavor, texture and temperature with every dish we ate. The service is great, each course of the dinner was checked on by our waitress and the waters were always full. I will say that this restaurant can certainly step up the furniture in terms of the chairs and tables, and it will be the finishing touch it needs. The chairs felt slightly flimsy and too laid back for something that I’d like to lounge in. The table itself can use some real candles instead of the fake ones. I appreciate the technology with mobile payments through the wait staffs mobile devices, but I felt uncomfortable touching the screen multiple times to pay for my meal. Overall, great experience that can be enhanced through minor touches.

Oh Ilili, I have nothing but compliments for this restaurant. The ambience is simultaneously homey yet upscale (God bless the interior designers and decorators). You’re definitely going to feel welcomed as the guests and staff represent various ethnicities and shades of melanin. And no matter the occasion (family dinner, date, special occasion, or casual meal), you’ll feel like you’re in the right place.

The food is AMAZING! Dinning here was my first Lebanese cuisine experience and there isn’t another Lebanese restaurant I want to try because the menu here is delicious. The mixed grill platter with lamb, chicken, beef, potatoes, and veggies, is absolutely delicious and I order it every time. My lovely friend took me here for my birthday and Valentine’s Day, both experiences were more than worthwhile. The seasonal drinks are also very good and you definitely get the bang for your buck!

What makes the overall experience so outstanding, is the staff! They make eye contact with you, smile, and make sure your needs are met in a timely manner. The restrooms are always clean. Lastly, making a reservation here is easy but not necessary (I recommend making a reservation though because it does get busy). Enjoy!

The venue is spacious and gorgeous. We ordered hummus dip, lamb shawarma and lamb sausage. Everything was made to perfection, super juicy and delicious. Highly recommend coming if you want some affordable upper class dishes.

Incredible food and vibes. Felt like I was in new Cairo! It is definitely on the pricier end but the ambiance makes up for it. We got the mixed platter and hummus which were both amazing. Staff were also extremely friendly

I came across this place while browsing where to dine Middle Eastern food in midtown west! The ambiance was great, the servers were courteous, the place was busy but everything was flowing smoothly and the food came faster than we expected! The food was delicious and loved every moment of it!!

NAYA Mezze & Grill

Lebanese food and service at this location is super good. This place has a great feel to it.

It was a great atmosphere for sit down with a group of 2-4 it looks like there is seating in the back for larger groups. The food was great. I had the lunch prixe with the 3 Veg Mezzo starters and the falafel wrap which was good. I would def go there again.

NAYA Mezze & Grill is a great addition to New York scant yet growing Mediterranean options! We walked in and the chef greeted us and was very sweet, as was the server who helped us all night. Amazing food, can't beat the price or service! Highly recommended if you're in the area and craving great Mediterranean food!

The food here was very good. I thought the lamb was especially tasty. I’ve never paired it with tomato but it was fantastic. I highly recommend it. I thought the wine was very good here too. I  would recommend that also. The ambience was great and the staff is very nice. A bit expensive but worth it. I will be coming back to try other dishes. Rating 4.5

Top notch authentic food, amazing friendly service. Very modern decor, feels like you're in a space ship.

The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed halal status.
