"Paya, the latest venture from the James Beard Award-nominated duo Niven Patel and Mohamed Alkassar of Feal Hospitality, brings tropical flavors and island influences to Miami Beach. Drawing culinary inspiration from the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and Spain’s islands, the menu features crab cakes with mango salsa and coconut wahoo ceviche, featuring local seafood and literal farm-fresh ingredients sourced from Patel’s own Rancho Patel. Designed by Paty Duran, the space showcases palm-patterned wallpaper, rattan chairs, and a striking teal bar, mixing laid-back tropics with modern elegance." - Olee Fowler, Eater Staff
