Neya - Great restaurant - Kosher Near Me - Surfside, Florida

Just when I thought I had already explored all the amazing food spots in Miami, I found myself in Surfside at modern Israeli cuisine Neya and wow, this place is in a completely different universe. This is nothing like Motek or Abbale, not even close. From the very first bite, my taste buds (and my expectations) were blown away. We came as a girls' night out, sharing plates and ordering "just one more dish"... and then another. The Truffle Wild Mushrooms Polenta was incredibly rich and silky, deeply earthy without feeling heavy. The Pappardelle Tomato was perfectly cooked, vibrant, and comforting in the best way. And the Cabbage "cacio e peppe"? Unexpected, bold, and absolutely addictive. The raw fish dishes were also a highlight, beautifully sliced, ultra-fresh, and paired with bright citrus, herbs, and crunch that elevated the fish without overpowering it. The grilled fish was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and plated with a smooth, flavorful puree that tied everything together effortlessly. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is a whole vibe. As the night goes on, the lights dim, the music comes on, and it transforms into the perfect setting for a stylish dinner that slowly turns into a fun night out with friends. Chic, warm, and energetic without feeling forced. I left wishing I had more room to try the entire menu, but happily signed up for their VIP rewards program (available to everyone), which basically guarantees my return. Next time, it's another girls' night at Neya, and we're coming hungry. If you love Mediterranean inspired cuisine done with precision, creativity, and soul, Neya is a must. read more

Literally one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. And that says a lot since my family, husband and I are major foodies and we have high expectations. The food at Neya is out of this world! We shared the small plates and everything was phenomenal from the hummus to the drinks. Service was top notch and the ambiance was incredible. The bar area is super cool and you can see the kitchen behind. I would 1000% return. read more

The music is aggressively high at 6pm....the menu no longer has meat...everything was ok but nothing made me say wow I'd come back for that.

The food of course was excellent but most importantly they go out of their way to please the customer. Will visit again soon.

I would like to have nice things to say about this place. However we had an unacceptable experience with the manager (David). To keep it short one of the members of our party of was burned by one of the dishes. The manager unprompted said he was sorry and offered to compensate us for the injury. We never asked him for anything but he acted in a very unprofessional manner and way outside the bounds of appropriate. The young man doesn't know basic service recovery and expectations. Instead of responding in a professional way he ran away and hid. The staff and other diners easily recognized his lack of professionalism and failure to attend to the issue. I'd only suggest this place if you are open to being injured and mistreated when you go to nearly $1000 dinner. Lots of better choices to consider. read more

Went with some friends who keep kosher - otherwise I wouldn't have selected a kosher spot. The food was good but super simple - nothing was innovative or particularly well prepared / seasoned. Portions were adequate but for the price point they felt too small. Drinks were good and interesting. Service was standard and friendly Vibes were fun but the inside is LOUD on a Thursday night. I don't advise if you want a quieter place to actually have a conversation. We could barely hear each other at the table over the loud music despite shouting. I don't intend to ever return as do not keep kosher. But if you want a fun, kosher spot with good enough food (and somewhat inflated prices), this isn't a bad choice. read more

The music is so loud you can't hear what people at your table are saying. In the middle of the meal my husband went to another restaurant to see if we could move over there. No such luck! We believe this restaurant is for young people only, just don't forget the earplugs!! read more

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. read more

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?! read more

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

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.
