Naya - Midtown East Third Avenue

Fans of the sit-down restaurant Naya Mezze & Grill can now get a quicker Lebanese fix at this nearby fast-food offshoot. The space is polished and modern, with a cafeteria-style series of ordering stations and communal tables if you've got time to stay. Recipes are traditional, such as that of the hummus, babaghanoush, tabbouleh and fattoush salad in the cold-appetizer department. Hot items include falafel, chicken or beef shawarma, and tangy spinach or three-cheese pastries, plus flatbread disks with Middle Eastern–accented toppings of feta or ground lamb.
