What to Order at Naya for High Cholesterol

Naya's Lebanese-style, build-your-own menu is a great fit for a heart-smart meal — grilled proteins, hummus, fresh salads, and vegetables are the defaults. The main things to watch are the garlic sauce (toum), the cheese, and the pita/fries.

What to look for at Naya

Watch toum (garlic sauce — it's oil-based and rich), cheese, pita, and fried sides. Lean on a greens or rice base, grilled chicken or falafel, hummus, and fresh salads (tabbouleh, fattoush) with an olive-oil dressing.

Heart-smart picks

• A bowl over greens or rice with grilled chicken or falafel.

• Hummus + a big pile of vegetables and a fresh salad (tabbouleh, fattoush).

• Olive-oil / lemon dressing, light or on the side, instead of creamy or heavy garlic sauce.

• Grilled veggies and pickles for flavor without the fat.

Solid runners-up

• A grilled-chicken salad bowl, dressing on the side.

• Falafel + hummus + salad for a plant-forward, fiber-rich plate.

What to skip

• Toum (garlic sauce) poured on — a little goes a long way; it's oil-heavy.

• Cheese and fried add-ons.

• Pita and fries as defaults; the bowl base is lighter.
