A Lebanese restaurant chain is expanding further in Boston.
NAYA, the fast-casual eatery known for its customizable Middle Eastern cuisine, is set to open its fourth Boston-area restaurant in the Fenway, reports Boston Restaurant Talk. The new spot will take over the former Caffè Nero space at 1375 Boylston St, though Caffè Nero still operates five other Boston locations.
Founded in 2008 by CEO Hady Kfoury, NAYA has grown from its original Manhattan outpost to nearly 40 restaurants across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The chain already operates three local sites in downtown Boston, the Back Bay, and Watertown.
NAYA prides itself on offering a healthier, modern take on fast-casual dining. Guests can build their own bowls, pita rolls, or salads, piling on unlimited fresh toppings. The eatery also serves a variety of traditional appetizers and desserts.
A NAYA representative told What Now Boston that she would reach back out with more details. Stay tuned for an official opening date, and be sure to follow the chain on social media @eatnaya.
