Neya Restaurant Opens in Surfside, Florida | Eater Miami

"I visited Neya, a newcomer in Surfside serving modern Israeli dishes influenced by Spain, North Africa, and the Levant. The non-kosher dinner menu opens with starters such as crispy Brussel sprouts tossed in turmeric tahini, shashuka, hummus, matbucha (Moroccan tomato salad) with halloumi, and tuna carpaccio with sesame pistachio; larger dishes prepared on the josper grill include roasted lamb cutlets, grilled tiger prawns spiced with harissa, seafood paella with bottarga and fennel, and grilled branzino with an artichoke puree. The beverage menu features cocktails like the Neya martini (vodka, pineapple infused honey, basil, and lemon) and the Netanya (gin, elderflower, lemon, and cucumber), and on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ladies drink for free. Neya’s 2,700-square-foot sleek dining room is accented with wood furniture, black matte fixtures, and large wraparound windows and is anchored by a bar that faces into the open kitchen. Neya is located at 9491 Harding Avenue in Surfside and is open Sunday to Thursday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight; for more information call 305-402-0768." - Olee Fowler
