Naya Is Opening in Cambridge's Kendall Square on January 14

A growing group of Middle Eastern restaurants with roots in New York City will be opening a new Boston-area location next week.

According to a press release, Naya is slated to open in the Kendall Square section of Cambridge on January 14, with the Main Street location joining others in downtown Boston, the Back Bay, and at Arsenal Yards in Watertown. Once it opens, the new eatery will offer dishes with Lebanese influences including customizable bowls, wraps, salads, desserts, and more, and while it wasn't initially known whether the upcoming Fenway location might debut before Kendall Square, it now appears that the former will open on Boylston Street sometime in the spring.

The address for the new location of Naya in Kendall Square is 355 Main Street, Cambridge, MA, 02142. The website for all locations is at https://www.eatnaya.com/
