Middle Eastern food chain NAYA is marking its expansion into Massachusetts with the opening of a new Boston location.
The Boston restaurant will open on Wednesday, Dec. 11, a press release states. This will mark NAYA’s 29th location — joining others in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The address for the Boston location is 95 Summer St.
NAYA was founded in 2008 and has become a popular fast-casual option for Middle Eastern cuisine. The chain was recognized as one of the country’s hottest startup fast casuals by QSR Magazine this year.
NAYA lets diners build their own bowl, wrap or salad from 17 ingredients, including vermicelli rice and shawarma falafel. NAYA also offers several appetizers, dips and sweets.
To celebrate the debut of the Boston restaurant, NAYA will offer $1 bowls and rolls on opening day. In addition, 100% of proceeds will go toward Rosie’s Place, a local charity dedicated to supporting women in need. NAYA will offer $5 bowls and rolls through Dec. 31 as well.
NAYA is planning to open more Massachusetts locations in early 2025, the press release states. NAYA has another location opening soon at Arsenal Yards in Watertown, according to the chain’s website.
