With stints at Daniel and Payard, there's no doubt that Naya owner Hady Kfoury has got the technical chops and upscale pedigree to serve an $18 chicken shawarma at his new Midtown East homage to classic Lebanese cooking. (Yup, we’re talking about the classic foil-wrapped midnight snack selling for four bucks in most parts.) "The beef, which comes from DeBragga and Spitler, is marinated overnight in imported spices that I have been compiling for months and cooked medium-well on a skewer," says Kfoury of his pocket sandwich served atop a pita with vegetables and tahini sauce. Traditional meat and vegetarian mezze (labné, grape leaves) and kebabs round out the menu.
