The restaurant we're building

Lebanese food for
the way people eat now.

Fast enough for lunch. Warm enough for dinner.

naia is being developed as a modern Lebanese fast-casual restaurant where guests order at the counter, build a meal around what they want and still feel properly looked after at the table.

01

Built around the plate

Choose a format, a protein, generous sides and the sauce that brings it together.

02

An open kitchen

The grill, fresh preparation and finishing are part of what guests see and feel.

03

Designed for staying

Counter ordering with food brought to the table, real cutlery and a room made for lunch and dinner.

The first menu

Three formats.
One generous table.

Start with a plate, wrap or salad bowl. Choose your protein, add what you love and finish with sauce. Every meal is assembled to order and served with the same generosity.

These are the foundations of the first menu. Recipes, portions, preparation methods and prices are being tested before opening.

The Lebanese way

Come hungry.
Feel at home.

Guests will order at the counter and receive a table number. Food is brought to the table, the team remains present in the room and guests leave everything behind when they are finished. Quick when needed, properly hosted throughout.

Born around the table

This story started long before naia.

naia was born from a family that has lived hospitality for generations. The story began with Harika Crown in Lebanon's Klayaat region. Since 1997, the family has welcomed Brussels at La Chatelaine du Liban, and later expanded its perspective with Ralph, an open-fire Mediterranean restaurant.

naia is the next chapter: Lebanese food, generosity and care, reimagined as a modern fast-casual place for everyday life, a new generation and new cities.
