    Excellent, fairly healthy lunch option if you work in the area. Lamb kofte is fantastic. Whatever you get, make sure you top it with the spicy green sauce + tahini.

    Avoid the rush for lunch by getting in before 12pm. Also have their chicken bowl or Kafta bowl. Their orange and green sauce are a must drizzle on your bowl or sandwich. Fresh, tasty and reasonable...

    PRO TIP: Instead of waiting in the super long line... order on GrubHub and walk straight to the back and pick up your order.

    I'm in love with the sujuk. Incredibly tasty and filling. I wish I could order something else, but I can't get over the sujuk.

    Naya has taken the Chipotle assembly line concept, serving a limited number of delcious mediterranean items in a "to-go" fashion. My fave is the chicken shish taouk roll. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Middle Eastern Chipotle. Long lines that move quickly. Lamb is a bit dry though, chicken is the way to go.

    Get chicken shawarma, the other variety is dry as hell. Or get the salad with the lamb, portions will be generous and suffice any appetite.

    Should rename it FIYA Express....cuz it tastes good. Think Lebanese Chipotle. Make sure you get green hot sauce at the register

    I haven't had the Lebanese version of pizza ( manooch) in ages. Quite flavorful ground meat topping. And rekakat was heavenly for those cheese lovers!

    So delish. As many have said, the garlic whip is great, but you better be packing some breath mints. (this tip written from the insanely long line)

    Naya roll with falafal, Hummos, pickled veggies and hot sauce with tahini is awesome. Wheat wrap is light and tasty.
