loving this new kosher spot in surfside, they play the best music and their dishes are amazing. @neyamiami stopped at @Morelia Gourmet Paletas for a fun little treat after #DineWithDav

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!

I recently dined at Neya, and regrettably, the experience did not live up to my expectations. Right off the bat, my evening began with a rocky start. I arrived 5 minutes early at the restaurant with a reservation for 6 PM. However, when I arrived at the restaurant, I was only allowed inside at 6:05 PM, even though the staff was visibly present inside and definitely knew I was waiting since I had knocked multiple times. The restaurant's ambiance was less than ideal. The lighting was excessively dim, and the music was so loud that we had to request it to be lowered. The seating arrangement was also uncomfortable - the booth was cramped, contributing to a somewhat claustrophobic feeling. Regarding the food, we ordered six dishes, but most were underwhelming. The highlights were the pita and flatbread, but even these had their drawbacks. The hummus served with the pita seemed akin to a store-bought quality, and the flatbread was overly laden with olives, making it bitter and sour. The excessive arugula also unbalanced the flavors. The salad was another letdown, featuring overly large, unchopped leaves and a peanut dressing that tasted peculiarly like a mix of Skippy peanut butter and vinaigrette. Service was another area where Neya fell short. Our waitress lacked the enthusiasm or knowledge to recommend popular or signature dishes. Based on this experience, I am hesitant to return to Neya. Both the ambiance and the culinary offerings were sadly disappointing.

So nice, we went back twice. Neya has some of the best Israeli food in Miami. And, the second time we went, we got to do tequila shots with Ben, the owner (yes kids, mom and dad do shots). We made the “mistake” of sitting at the bar for a drink before dinner. The bar is right across from the kitchen and all of the food looks AMAZING! I was just sorry we couldn’t order it all. We started with octopus hummus. I could have eaten this all day long. The octopus was cooked perfectly, with thick creamy hummus and soft freshly baked pillow-like pita. Next up was the chicken shish kebab. Again, the chicken was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of charcoaly taste. The yellowfin tuna tartar with black and white eggplant was great, although it could have been a bit bigger. The lamb flatbread was good, but not great. For dinner we had the paella, Israeli style. It was made with couscous instead of rice. What a concept! It was my favorite dish in the restaurant. The second time we went, we had the grilled branzino. It had a crispy skin on a bed of puréed artichoke and was amazing. We finished up with the lamb cutlets (chops). While well cooked, they were nothing special. The service was very helpful and attentive.

What an amazing place! Neya has the beauty and brains when looking for a great experience. We came for dinner on Saturday night and there were a few tables already filling up. We quickly ordered some cocktails and appetizers. We got the Akko sun and Passion Bellini, then went for the truffle mushroom polenta and the beef tartare. The service is top notch and the staff will take care of you like family. Our server was always there to fill water, answer questions or explain the menu. The polenta was one of my favorites! Super creamy and the truffle was incredible. The beef tartare was my partners fave and he really enjoyed the crunch of the garbanzo beans. Next we ordered the harissa prawns, paella and the Wagyu ribeye. Also got an order of fries and salad to share. The plates are meant to be shared and it was the perfect amount of food for us 3. The Wagyu was cooked perfectly! There was some Chimichurri sauce to dip but I have to say the steak was perfect on its own. The prawns and paella were also very tasty. We finished with some chocolate mousse which was so light but decadent. Can’t wait to go back!

Our experience was mixed. We were a party of 2 people and paid $240 for two starters, two entrees and only one cup of wine. There was no dish that blew my mind. The ricotta gnocchi texture was a little bit stiff and the sauce was regular. The polenta was mixed with corn and it seemed more like an “humita”, that’s a dish from South America. I guess I expected something more Italian tasting. Up to that point the experience was regular-low. However, the main courses were pretty good. The sea bass lollipops were super original. Crusty in the outside and soft inside with the tahini sauce were amazing. The salmon had a rolled zucchini as a side, and it was full of flavor and pretty good presented. The place decoration is very elegant and the service is good. Waiters are attentive and the chef gave out a few shots of arak, that was nice. In summary, it was expensive for the size/quality of the plates. I guess I expected more from the food. But overall, it was a good experience and I would return
