Neya Opens in Surfside: Modern Israeli Kitchen and Bar Concept
Neya’s culinary team embraces both the ancient and modern flavors, spices, and seasonings of the dynamic Israeli gastronomy. The restaurant’s unique non-kosher interpretation is influenced by the rich legacy of Spain, North Africa, and the Levant.
MENU
Neya’s menu opens up with starters like Shishbarak with wild herbs and tomato concassé and a dish of Crispy Brussel Sprouts bathed in turmeric tahini, toasted pine nuts, and chili. A list of inventive mezze options is next, including Matbucha with roasted goat cheese, feta, and coriander pesto; signature Shashuka with foraged greens and halloum; and the Neya Hummus, made with tahini, fava, and fresh cilantro zhoug sauce.
Crudo options such as Tuna Carpaccio with sesame pistachio mix layers of well-balanced flavors, and from the Josper charcoal oven, Neya serves hearty entrées like Roasted Lamb Cutlets, grilled Tiger Prawns spiced with harissa, TLV Seafood Paella with bottarga and fennel, and Grilled Branzino, accompanied by Jerusalem artichoke puree.
