Finding it
Naya is in Food Hall in Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
- Level
- 3
Terminal 8 has 49 places to eat and 50 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.
Hours against the security queue
Naya opens at 10am and closes at 11pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 23 minutes around 10am.
Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Open from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Naya skips the earliest departures and stays open for evening arrivals instead, unlike neighbors that might open at dawn for the first bank of flights. It sits on Level 3 near Bagel Boss, Cobblestones Biergarten & Bar and Guy Fieri's Flavortown, a stretch dominated by American comfort food and beer, which makes the Middle Eastern menu here the outlier on that block. A traveler landing on a late-evening flight into Terminal 8 has until 11:00 PM to catch it, later than a breakfast-focused counter nearby would allow.
