Neya in Surfside is an outstanding kosher dairy restaurant and such a great mix of Mediterranean and Israeli gourmet cuisine.
It was my first time visiting after hearing so many recommendations and I was truly impressed!
Every dish felt handcrafted by the chef and full of unique flavors, like an explosion of taste in every bite. Yum!
The Dates Casino were incredible, the falafel was delicious, the polenta was exquisite, the pasta tasted so fresh….We tried many dishes along with the crafted drinks and everything was amazing including the decadent dessert. Soooo good!
And service was superb. Deborah, our server, was not only attentive, but very knowledgeable, always smiling, and every recommendation she made was spot on.
Even the music added to the great vibe.
If you are looking for a modern kosher gourmet restaurant with excellent food, great ambiance, and top level service, this is the place. Oh! And they have ladies night on Tuesdays so ladies: you get your first drink on the house!!! Totally recommended

The dishes are creative, flavorful and delicious. Sitting at the bar and being able to watch the chef and all others create each dish was an epic experience.
The yellow tail sashimi is an explosion of flavor, and so good. The truffle wild mushroom polenta is rich and delicious. The toasted eggplant doesn’t show up in the photo but it was very well done. The eggplant itself was perfectly toasted and tasty and the combination of the yogurt, crushed tomatoes, jalapeños and tehini make it so special. We added a fresh pita to the order and it was really good with it.
The tuna belly was done perfectly, it is rich and flavorful but not a heavy dish and feels good during and after…
Next time I’ll try the pastas which are all made there from scratch.

Can’t believe we waited so long to go here; this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Came with a friend for ladies night (first round of cocktails on the house) and we ordered the Israeli cauliflower, cabbage cacio e pepe, papardelle Jorden mushrooms, tuna belly, and chocolate mousse for dessert and every single one of those dishes was off the charts incredible. Additionally, all members of the staff, from the maître d’ to the waiters, were friendly and attentive which completely elevated our experience. Do not skip this place! We will be dreaming of this meal and will absolutely be back.

The food was freaking AMAZING!!! The Creativity of the Dishes Was unfathomable everything. We tried, made Our pallets go wild from the Krispy Rice that you expect to be an Asian dish. But Nooooo it tasted like a Pizza party in your mouth with a bit middle Eastern pizzazzzz and then the yellow tail was finger licking good. I literally wanted to lick the plate It was so delicious. The Neya taco with the dipping sauce brought your pallet to the next level. It was crunchy and fresh and spicy and sweet it was prob that umami flavor you are looking for but can’t really get!!! We also had the cannelloni dude that sauce was crazy good. The wine and tamari and black pepper was so spectacular so yummmm!!! Ok so going to a kosher restaurant you don’t expect the best service but either we got the best waiter in the house or they got it together!!!! His name is Santiago and dude he was able to tell me everything about the menu specific details about sauces he was exceptional! I also told him that I didn’t know what kind of drink I wanted I told him the flavors that I liked and he went to the bartender and asked for a drink from a previous menu and it was spot on. There was Zatar on the rim of the glass and if you took some with the drink it elevated it to a super amazing drink like I could never have imagined!! For dessert we got the Ethiopian crème brûlée it was so cool I didn’t like the strawberry sauce it tasted like it needed bread and peanut butter!!! But the basil and kiwis on the side was such a great combination of flavors!!! All and all the food was such an amazing fusion of flavors and I said to my husband this is my new favorite place!!! Love the creativity and out of the box menu!!! My only problem was When we walked in, we were seated really nicely, and we were trying to talk to each other, but we could not hear ourselves think the Music was WAY too LOUD. That is my one and only complaint about this restaurant. They need to figure out the Music situation because that is not normal to come into a restaurant and not be able to speak to your husband and leave with a headache. I was not going to a club I was thinking it was a fine dining establishment. Thank you for amazing food we will be back but hopefully the music will be under control!! Thank you Chanita

Had a great experience here! Restaurant was recommended by a friend who also visited Miami – and I agree with his recommendation.
Walked in, and the restaurant was very lively. Music was loud but not overbearing. Started off with some cocktails, and was very impressed! My wife and I both enjoyed the drinks.
Dishes were great: tasted amazing, great presentation. Some servings may be smaller, so clarify on portion size before ordering, if you’re very hungry.
To our surprise, the CHEF came out in the middle of the meal, followed by a tray of fancy shots for the customers to taste, while asking how our meal is. It’s not something I’ve seen before, but clearly this Chef loves his craft, and enjoys doing it!
Would definitely return next time I’m in Miami 🙂

The vibe, the food, the service, the atmosphere…5 stars! What an amazing evening! The pumpkin ravioli needs to be a permanent item on the menu. Go with a bunch of friends and get a little of everything to share. Every dish we had, from the mushroom polenta, branzino, cannelloni, frena bread with those incredible dips. Outstanding! Unusual, incredible flavors. And thank you to the chef for those delicious shots of what tasted like some exotic juice with arak. Delicious desserts as well.

Neya is truly a fantastic restaurant. The food is incredibly original and different from what you usually see, even compared to other kosher spots. Every dish feels creative and thoughtfully crafted, with bold flavors and beautiful presentation. For a kosher restaurant of this level, the prices are actually very reasonable, especially considering the quality and overall experience.
What really made the night unforgettable was the service. Debra was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was attentive, authentic, and paid incredible attention to every little detail. She genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for us and that we were enjoying every moment. Her warmth and professionalism elevated the entire experience.
Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!
