Neya Restaurant

NO WORDS!!! From the moment we walked in we felt to good vibes of Neya. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. The food was out of this world. All their dishes are unique and finely crafted by their chef. Pricey but totally worth it. Definitely recommend Stephanie the waitress she was so kind and helpful and we were both so happy with our choices. The highlights were definitely the crispy rice with tuna and the pistachio dessert- it’s a must!! 10 out of 10 recommend!!

Neya delivers excellent dishes very tastefully prepared. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers there - wines are very good especially loved the Riesling and the Branzino was fresh and very well cooked. Maybe I would love to have the whole fish instead of 1/2 of it on my plate, but nevertheless, it was a delightful evening in a Miami Kosher restaurant the only one that I knew in Miami. Dessert was awesome.

Our waitress Tania was amazing! She recommended the chefs tasting menu and we enjoyed so much! The food was different and fun to try

Had an amazing experience at Neya in Miami! The food was absolutely delicious—especially the cauliflower appetizer and crispy rice. We also shared the sea bass, which was outstanding. Our waiter, Tamir, was fantastic and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved my experience at Neya, a fantastic kosher dairy restaurant. The menu is brilliant - creative, beautifully curated, and full of tempting options. The service was excellent, the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our meal. Every dish we ordered was a true piece of art, both visually and in flavor. We had the branzino, crispy tuna rice, flatbread, and finished with a pistachio dessert - each bite was delicious and memorable. Highly recommend Neya to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

This is a wonderful place. My husband and I went for dinner our first night on vacation, and we ended up returning twice more on our 4 day trip! Stephanie was our server the first night and she helped us make great selections such as the cauliflower, gnocchi, and sea bass. The bartender is amazing - best margarita I’ve ever had. Do not skip this place on your trip to surfside!

Stefany was our waitress and she was the best of the best) patient, kind and went through the menu and gave such good recommendations! Food was 10/10!! From flavor to presentation! Nice vibe! Would recommend to all if you're looking for good delicious food with lots of flavor! Prices pretty fair)

My man was generously offering free shots to all guests, which was incredibly cool. The atmosphere was electric, with the music playing at a fantastic pace. Although the portions were smaller, the dishes were still incredibly tasty and delicious. The flatbread pita was a standout dish, while the carpaccio was also fantastic, bursting with flavors. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good food, good beats and better vibes

Fantastic all around. Incredible flavors and they go out of their way to choose the freshest ingredients. Breads baked to order from the tabun are to die for and the Galil salad is light and has a great mix of herbs inside. Sit at the bar if you can! The opportunity to chat with the chef as he prepares dishes right in front of you makes for a memorable experience. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. I didn't have room to try today, but they now offer a tasting menu where the chef selects several courses for you. I'll be back to try.

This place raised the bar. The food was elite and the whole experience felt premium. Kosher done right, finally.

Off the bat I would say the service really stood out to me here. Every single person we spoke to was so kind and helpful and very clearly passionate about their restaurant. The chef even came by ask us about our meal and took a shot with us! It is tapas-sharing style so we ordered several things on the menu, including hamachi crudo, hummus, pita, fish rolls and sea bass skewers. The absolute stand out dish were the fish rolls. They are made with phyllo dough that fried to perfection! And they had a creamy filling that was not fishy at all! For dessert, we had the strawberry bomb and the pistachio dream. It was in fact a dream! I loved the warm pastry combined with the pistachio ice cream. Such a perfect last bite! Ambiance is awesome. The bar is gorgeous and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The music is not loud at all and I love how dim it is, sets the vibe for me. I think the booth we were sat at was prob too small for 4 but we made it work! All in all, I would definitely recommend.

Neya is truly exceptional--without a doubt, the best dairy kosher restaurant I've experienced outside of Israel. The roasted eggplant is phenomenal; I would return just for that alone. The food isn't the only highlight--the arak-based cocktails are fantastic, and I still think about the watermelon one they used to serve. The service is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is lively, with great music that does get louder as the night goes on. A must-visit spot!

I had been really wanting to check out Neya since I love Israeli food and finally did so last Saturday night. Reservations were easy, and so was the parking. We found a spot on the street right in front. We didn't have to wait to be seated on our reservation and were seated in a comfortable banquette overlooking the room. We started with cocktails. I had the Akko Sun with Mezcal. It was spicy, smokey and delicious. My girlfriend had the passion bellini, which actually has vodka that balances the sweetness quite well. The service was amazing and our waiter Andre recommended delicious dishes for us all night. We started with the tuna crudo. It was fresh and fantastic. The octopus hummus was delicious and the octopus was perfectly cooked. The ricotta gnocchi was good without being overly filling. We also had the beef tenderloin that came with this delicious caramel sauce. The special of the night was a fish wellington, that was baked in a phyllo type dough. It was creamy and sweet and delicious, while being perfectly cooked. For desserts, my girlfriend had the cheesecake and I had the chocolate dessert. Neither of us shared. I LOVED the chocolate dessert and my girlfriend loved hers. We will definitely be back and I have already recommended it to all my friends. Welcome, Neya. Please stay forever. Maybe move to Coral Gables?!

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in SoFlo. We had the privilege to enjoy the $45 pp Miami Spice Menu and it was truly a steal. You got 2 appetizers, an entree and dessert. Everything was delicious and well thought out. Attention is also great and if it's your first time they will explain that all dishes are tapa style and will even give you their personal recommendations if you ask. The chef also comes by the tables to ask how everything was. Very nice touch and very humble sweet chef. I have been dreaming of going back to this place ever since I left :)

Had an amazing first experience at Neya! Jonathan was an amazing waiter and the food was beyond incredible. Every dish was skillfully prepared and full of flavor. We tried the branzino, tuna crispy rice, hummus, yellow tail sashimi, polenta, and hamachi gyoza. Great atmosphere in the restaurant and a great dinner spot. Can't wait to come back and recommend to many others.

Went here for lunch with a couple of friends! I knew it was kosher but I didn't know it was a dairy restaurant. I wanted to try their kebabs, but fortunately I was pleasantly surprised by every dish I tried. Even something as simple as grilled baby gem was delicious! The fish was insane. The skin super crispy and overall super flavorful and moist. The pita bread was so cozy, warm soft crispy at the same time. The cauliflower dish is also a must. I'll definitely be coming back

Amazing food, drinks and ambiance. The service was excellent. Allison was very attentive and had great recs.

Had a wonderful dinner here. Eggplant was very unique, sea bass was perfectly prepared, the dates casino was delish. Really just about eve try thing we tried was unique, fresh, and prepared extremely well. Only dish I'd skip next time is the tuna main entre. While it was fine, it just didn't blow me away like the rest. I'll chalk that up to preference not quality.

You know it's bad when you google "can I give less than one star on yelp" before writing the review. Probably the worst dining experience I've had yet. We ordered two drinks and four tapas to share, total came out to over $200. Portions were not only overpriced but ridiculously small. Litteraly $38 for a plate of 3 potstickers? Staff was hovering and rushed us, they kept taking away dishes before we were done eating them. That forkful of polenta left on my plate was probably worth a few dollars. They weren't busy but we felt rudely pushed out by the end. I've never written a bad review but this experience was just so frustrating I had to do the deed. I wish the $6 bottled water came with the power to forget.

Delicious cocktails and great middle eastern food nestled in Surfside, Miami beach. Truly a gem in the area. Service was pretty good and the ambiance is sexy. Great for date night.

Nestled in the heart of Surfside, Neya serves up incredible, modern Israeli dishes influenced by Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East. All dishes are served tapas style and meant for sharing. Our starters were my favorite, the crispy Brussel sprouts tossed in turmeric tahini, shashuka, hummus, matbucha (Moroccan tomato salad) with halloumi, and tuna carpaccio with sesame pistachio. Also ordered flat bread, hummus and fish sticks. Words alone cannot describe how special these dishes were! We ordered the grilled branzino with an artichoke puree and the Wagyu steak. Nothing disappointed. Our fabulous dinner was topped off by their cheesecake (not really cheesecake but a yogurt) and the fig ice cream with pistachios and pomegranate sauce. Excellent service and attention to detail. Worth the ride from any part of Miami!

Came here after midnight for quick bite food was amazing so was the music amazing place loved it would go back definitely soon

TL;DR: wow, this place is definitely worth visiting! Neya had been on my list for a while, and I finally had a reason to celebrate with my family, so we checked it out! Definitely a place for a special occasion (it's pricey), but definitely worth visiting. The shop is intimate, and the service is wonderful (the head chef even stopped by to say hi and chat)! Everything dish is beautifully plated and colorful, each looks like a work of art in it's own right! Lychee Martini- too sweet for me personally Hamachi sashimi (East Jerusalem style)- one of my favorite dishes of the night. Loved the flavors, and wanted to drink up the olive oil it was in, the olive oil was so fresh and flavorful! Eggplant- tasty, but not wow! Would have loved fresh pita to go with it (rather than oily pita chips- which were delicious, but the dish was already oily) Roasted baby gem salad in homemade strawberry marmalade- the dressing was so colorful, and it was a sweet and unique way to eat your veggies! Corvina with ricotta gnocchi with roasted asparagus in a white wine sauce- the fish was delicious and so was the sauce, but between the fatty sauce and the carbs from the pasta, it was very filling and heavy! Black truffle wild mushroom polenta- very tasty, but the texture was off (too soggy). The real showstoppers however were the desserts! Here's what we ordered: Fig parfait- was more like ice cream in consistency, but still delicious. Served with pistachio crumble and pomegranate molasses. Unique combo of flavors that paired nicely together (the sweetness and acidity of the pomegranate molasses, paired with the nutty crunch of the pistachio crumble and the sweet creamy fig "ice cream" was a hit)! My favorite dessert was the labaneh cheesecake with passion fruit preserve, mint, zaatar and caramelized olive, which sounds weird, but upon tasting was a perfect pairing! It was easily the tastiest and most innovative cheesecake I've ever ordered. I often time find savory inspired desserts disappointing and weird, and this clearly didn't happen with this cheesecake, I'm so glad our waiter pushed us to try it!

What a cool unique place!! Beautiful ambiance, really interesting and unique menu, delicious cocktails, and awesome service. Has a lovely cool romantic vibe with a big gorgeous bar. Ordered a bunch of small plates and some drinks. So good. What a great spot for a light bite or a full meal. Love!!

This place was so good I had to go back the following week to try more options off the menu. We again sat at the bar. We got there too late (8.15pm) they have a ladies happy hour on Thursday's 6-8 at the bar only. We'll have to go back. Akay was our bar tender/ waiter again and he is the best! We decided to try a different desert since we loved the cheesecake so much! We got to meet Kimani who gave us amazing recommendations!! The home made ice cream was to die for!!! Thank you again for the amazing experience!

Celebrated my friend birthday at Neya..it was 9 of us. We were greeted instantly by hostesses and offered to wait for the rest of the group at the bar. I ordered Neya martini( mouth watering! Must try). At the table we ordered a little bit of everything from the menu: roasted eggplant, i loved their grilled branzino, so simple yet so perfect! Tuna tartare is to die for! Paella was great! Enjoyed Tuna carpaccio with pistachio. All dishes were perfect to share. Service was good, our waitress were very busy but she did a great job! The restaurant was packed all night. I will definitely go back again.

I was so excited to try this restaurant, however, the dark young woman in the front is EXTREMELY rude. I've never experienced that kind of treatment at any restaurant I've ever been to. Really ruined the vibe of the restaurant considering I was the customer. Her attitude was also not only towards me specifically, there was a line of people waiting for their reservations for over an hour, and she was wagging her head not letting anyone inside. She should definitely be fired or at least trained before she works anywhere. Overall without her, the restaurant definitely has potential.

Great place to go for dinner when you want...no check that...NEED to lose weight. Portions so tiny, we had to wonder if we ordered off of the kiddie menu by accident? No, wait, just got the bill, definitely not kiddie menu prices. Most ridiculous was the dumpling special for 30+ dollars for three baby star dumplings. They smelled like from a planet far far away. Rest of the food was very tasty, what there was of it. Service was attentive though, and drinks were good. No complains there, and thus the extra star. Would give two and a half stars if possible.

Incredible experience. The flavor profiles are on point. Everything is absolutely delicious.

When I walked into the restaurant It felt like an ok atmosphere with some nice lighting. We sat down and ordered our appetizers. They came within 5 minutes which got me suspicious. They were not bad but the menu was limited and wasn't exactly for me. I figured I would order salmon since it was probably the only item on the menu for me. As I was ordering the waiter informed me there was no salmon tonight so I was left hungry all night. Overall I recommend looking at the menu first before going and making sure there is something for you and as ridiculous as it sounds maybe confirm they have it.

Walking into Neya, you first notice their impressive open kitchen that serves as an interesting backdrop to the ambiance: busy chefs cooking at different stations from crudo to flame grille to brick oven all make for an entertaining view from any table. We ordered their Miami Spice tapas style dinner special $45/pp: two appetizer selections, entree, and dessert--a great deal. Everything was very good: from the colorful presentation to the fusion of different spices, each dish was simply delicious! I especially liked the hummus (smooth and flavorful) paired with their homemade pita bread that was very light. We appreciated real seafood in both the paella and crispy fish rolls. The truffle polenta was a little rich, but still had great flavor. The fig parfait (tasted like ice cream) was a nice surprise. Neya is quaint and cozy, delicious food served by an attentive and well-trained staff so efficient that you won't need to ask for anything because they are one step ahead to know what you need to enjoy your meal.

Great food and fabulous service and ambiance. The ravioli, particularly the pumpkin, was amazing, as was the cauliflower dish we tried. They also brought out our dishes one by one so we had a chance to savor each one. Go early if you prefer to have a quiet conversation before the DJ turns up the music.

Love this restaurant really delicious food! Pleasant and calm atmosphere, fast service and the food arrived quickly, they have kosher food and kosher wine, the prices are not really expensive, I recommend

We went with a group of friends and ordered a number of things from the menu to share. The unanimous verdict from the group was that everything was delicious. There were a lot of unique items. The cook seems to enjoy creating beautiful plates. The ambience was very pleasant. Not too noisy. And the drinks complimented the food nicely.

The best kosher restaurant around Excellent food Great service ! Nice vibe Really recommended Will go again for sure

Awful food and service. It took over 30 min. for the waitress to bring my drink. We order the food and she said they were out of pita bread. Other waiter came and I have to beg him to bring me my drink, he did after 5 min. and told us that the pita bread is in the making and will take some time. After we finish our food they brought the pita bread. Awful service. The food wasn't tasty at all, egg plant and cauliflower were not good at all. When I ask for the check a 20% tip was included, of course I refused to payed and they have to take it out. Awful place, avoided.

Hidden Gem in Surfside. I discovered Neya during Miami Spice. Since than, my girlfriend and I have been back 3 times. Each and every time the food has been amazing. My favorite dish has to be the brussel sprouts (yes the sprouts that were the bane of my existence in my childhood) The brussel sprouts at Neya are crisp on the outside but oh so tender on the inside. The sauce that they are cooked in tingles my taste buds in all the right ways. The truffle mushroom flatbread is amazing. My go to dish, Branzino is done to perfection. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is cozy and chic.

One star is generous! $7.50 for a can of sprite??!! $27 for a plate with 2 miniscule slices of fish finished within one bite Abnoxiosly deafening music I have to schedule a visit to make sure my hearing is okay Very dissatisfied and dissatisfied. Also the chairs are very uncomfortable

Service was great the food was amazing a bit pricey for smallish tappa style plates the decoration and seating is modern and upscale, the music while a bit loud very entertaining. Overall a great experience.

Love this new neighborhood restaurant! The food was amazing! We had the small plates and mezze to share a little bit of everything. Black truffle wild mushroom polenta, neya hummus, roasted eggplant, and burrata. It was delicious!!! The best part was the chef came to our table and we took his dessert suggestion. What a great evening. It will be another neighborhood spot for friends and date night!

Found this place from the Miami Spice list and decided to give it a try. Every single dish was amazing and delicious. They all had the perfect combination of flavor and texture. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts, beat salad, hummus, branzino, chocolate mousse, and fig parfait. Service was also quick and friendly. 100% recommend

I want to welcome this beautiful and amazing new restaurant to Surfside . I've been wanting to come check it out and I finally got an opportunity to come and to my surprise Thursday is ladies night. Drinks are so good and beautiful. I didn't eat much but the fries are amazing they are seasoned to perfection. The only thing they do not have ketchup. I definitely recommend this restaurant. And can't wait to go back. Manny is one of the bartender and he is amazing the best so attentive gave me great recommendations.

My friend and I randomly walked in here for a drink and maybe a bite to eat. We are so glad we did! Our cocktails were carefully crafted, garnished beautifully, and delicious! We had the tuna carpaccio- very good. The polenta with mushrooms & truffle is not to be missed. Brussel sprouts - yummy. The beef carpaccio was also vary tasty, even though it felt somewhat slightly watery? Still good. The service at the bar was very attentive, hostess was sweet, and we were approached by the chef and manager who made sure we are doing good and enjoying ourselves. Thank you

Great food with earthy tastes. Easy to find corner location with a suave, dark interior. I wish the selection was a little more diversified, and don't love sharing concept restaurants, but was pleasantly surprised here!

On a work trip from LA and I stopped by this gem in Bal Harbour. If you are luck both Sabrina's will be working. They were icing on the cake for an exceptional meal. I will be back before I leave. Thank you again for amazing food, great drinks, and the lovely conversation. I almost forgot. The chef popped out to say hi. Every guest left with a smile and made sure to let the staff know how pleased they were.

Absolutely amazing food. Had the leafy greens salad (it was great, lots of color), the truffle wild mushroom polenta and the sea bass. Over the top! Great atmosphere, great drinks and music.

restaurant located in bal harbor been open for 9 months excellent mixture of flavors food was delicious lichee cocktail delicious service was great we had an amazing waitress we shared a lot of plates we also had the pleasure to speak with the chef israeli guy seems the owners are russian and another country so it's interesting the flavors they mix in their plates the places is gorgeous we felt very comfortable and at ease. ambiance is top. this is a top notch restaurant and prices are not cheap great to go for a date. the plates are a work of art not to big but each cooked and designed individually it's a lot of detail this is a gourmet restaurant.

Fantastic, unique food and great service. We had a reservation and they called to let us know we'd be seated at the bar and check if that was ok. Appreciated the courtesy, and so glad we kept our reservation, we had a front row seat to the open kitchen and it was enthralling! Unique added element to ambiance.

Tonight was my first time with Neya and it was absolutely blown away. The place is gorgeous, hip, perfectly lit, with great music. The food is absolutely divine. We shared about 10 dishes and each was perfection. Service was excellent, drinks were superb. This is my new favorite restaurant in Miami. Shhhhhh don't tell anyone

Better get here before Michelin slaps a star on this joint. World class contemporary Israeli-inspired cuisine staffed by gorgeous and seemingly genuinely service oriented folk is an oasis of Non-Kosher awesomeness on Harding in Surfside. Nuff said.

Food was average, service sucked and very overpriced. Never going back again came all the way from Broward.

The food is amazing. Everything we ordered was just exceptional. Staff is super friendly. Great vibe. Definitely returning.

Excellent food, drinks and ambiance. The small plates. The small plates are excellent for sharing. The chocolate and olive oil dessert was one of the best I've ever had.

We just had a great meal @ Neya. It brought us back to our best dinners in Israel. The food and service were fantastic and everything we ordered exceeded expectations. We live over 2 hrs away and it was definitely worth the trip.

I rarely write reviews... but this place was amazing. Easy seating and the perfect amount of attention from the waitress! The food was outrageous and each new dish that came was better than the last. We had the Brussel sprouts, tuna tartare, prawns, polenta and the cheesecake. I wish I did not get full or I would have ordered more. We also had two specialty cocktails and then a few cosmos. The drinks were extremely well balanced and a good size- nothing is worse than getting a skinny glass full of ice and two sips of alcohol and this place did NOT do that! Looking forward to going back soon and trying more!

Sad to write this but not good, not sure what others rated here. The location is beautiful- stunning bar would totally come for a drink! But the food, meh at best. The food compilations didn't work -- or was super bland - we did the all you can eat brunch and we barely touched anything. Not sure who photographed fresh pita on Yelp - or if they had an under qualified chef filling in when we were there - but we got bagged pita bread that tasted two days old that made everything that was already bland, blander. Will not go back. Just for drinks maybe.

Great ambiance with beautiful furniture and a great looking bar area. The service is top notch and you can tell the employees love working there. Everything on the menu sounds soooo good and we were delighted with our choices - especially at the very end for their cheesecake and also the chocolate with black volcano salt on top. The drinks are real good (picante drink w tequila) and a nice wine selection. Definitely worth the drive from Fort Lauderdale!
