“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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 ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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 :) ”
