What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Naya offers generous portions and remarkable value, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious diners seeking hearty Spanish fare. While many praise the friendly service and tasty dishes, some reviews highlight concerns about food quality and consistency, including a serious accusation of unsanitary conditions and tainted meat. The restaurant is noted for its convenient location and value-driven menu, though mixed experiences suggest a variable dining experience.
"Convenient and budget friendly for a quick lunch plus a place to rest your feet. I love the artichoke with ham. For $15euros, you get a roll, appetiser, main, dessert, drink and a nice atmosphere. Best value for money in Spain! Thank you Naya."

"Great service, good food, dessert was fantastic. Price was amazing, we ordered a “menu” and got two plates each, dessert and a bottle of wine for three people. Amazing!"

"The food was awful and ended up giving every person in our party who ate there awful food poisoning. Do not eat at this restaurant, they are completely unsanitary.
Adding to this review since the owner threatened legal action for a review for unsanitary food. Our family was there yesterday, and all of us are horribly sick from tainted meat. This place is unsanitary and should be shut down. Don’t threaten legal action for a legit review about a restaurant serving tainted meat. We are all horribly sick from your terrible food. There’s no way all 4 people who ate there just so happened to get the worst food poisoning from eating at your restaurant. Maybe take a closer look at the quality of food you put out instead of threatening people who post legit reviews about your horrible restaurant.
Adding to this again, since the owner insists legal action. There is no way we ate at your restaurant and all 4 of us were sick immediately after eating it. I was with my family, so of course you don’t have my specific name. We were in Merida, and ate at Restarante Naya , and were served tainted meat at your restaurant. It tasted off in the meal and then 2 hours later we were all puking and sick all night from food poisoning. Do not threaten me for a legit review about tainted meat.
The owner of this restaurant is a complete fool who tries to use intimidation to scare people from posting poor reviews. Why would I keep a receipt? We clearly ate at Naya in Merida, just down the road from our hotel. We stayed up all night puking and drinking water, so for you to insist we didn’t have what we dealt with, make me think you shouldn’t be allowed to serve people. You’re a complete joke of a company and you should shut down for serving terrible food and not having any accountability for what you served. Piss off"
