"Middle Eastern restaurant Reyla is in the old downtown of Asbury Park, a small tangle of streets lined with commercial and retail buildings mostly dating from the 1920s to the 1960s. Reyla has a reduced off-season menu that includes a piled-high lamb burger and lots of small dishes in a Levantine vein, such as cured eggplant topped with black-garlic feta, and yellow falafel made with split peas that rest in a pool of beet tahini." - Robert Sietsema
