A growing group of Middle Eastern restaurants with roots in New York City will be expanding to the Boston area.
According to a press release, Naya is going to be opening at Arsenal Yards in Watertown, bringing to the mixed-use development a fast-casual spot with Lebanese influences that offers customizable bowls, wraps, salads, desserts, and more. We have been told that in addition to the Watertown location, outlets are also being planned for downtown Boston [ed note--now open on Summer Street] and the Back Bay as well.
The website for Naya, which first started out in Manhattan approximately 15 years ago, can be found at https://www.eatnaya.com/
[February 4, 2025 update: According to a source, Naya is now open at Arsenal Yards.]
