These were really Well made drinks :) I enjoy the ambience here too! We'll be back to check out some more.

The nicest most attentive server I've ever met. Variety of dishes on the menu with interesting spices and flavor combinations. Food was served hot. Portions were decent. A reliable dinner in Asbury park. Music not too loud. Comfortable seating. Good lighting. Happy to not be eating in the dark. Grab a drink downstairs before your meal.

Fun chef's counter experience at Reyla from Salatim to end -- all the dishes look beautiful (especially the ceviche) and the kitchen staff never looked stressed the night we were there. re the salatim, everything was yummy including the Israeli pita, but I super enjoyed both the cauliflower and the lima bean; I had never seen either spread before! As an additional starter, we got the Bagel -- good idea conceptually and it tasted good, but it didn't quite read bagel flavors to me. For mains, we tried the Steak and the Lamb, while both were good, have to give this one to the lamb and the pistachio pesto. I admit I was concerned I was not going to like the pesto, but it was a refreshing take on a pesto. Top it off with some wine and post-dinner drinks at laylow and you have yourself a nice evening.

A vibrant new restaurant with city vibes, this Mediterranean tapas style food is a delight. This is really a high end bar. They have a very large and beautiful bar area where you can rest after a long day. The cocktail menu offers a good selection of signature drinks. The menu has tapas style dishes that are meant to share. The food is a fusion of Turkish and Greek food flavors. Offering a great mixture for all proteins as well as vegetarian options. The service was very prompt and friendly. We felt connected to our waitress and highly welcomed as we ate our delicious meal. Definitely a place to try when in the area.

Came here for brunch to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. When we walked into the restaurant they showed us to our table where a complimentary birthday champagne bottle was waiting for us at the table. We started off with the Turkish hummus which was amazing! The hummus came hot and had a beautiful cinnamon flavor. For my entree I chose the chicken and waffles. Instead of waffles they were serving chicken and pancakes that day. The gravy it came with gave it a nice middle eastern twist on a classic dish. The modern design of the restaurant really elevated the dining experience. There is a stunning bar area which is a great spot if you wanted to just grab drinks. Also the open layout kitchen at the back of the restaurant is the perfect touch. The staff was lovely and so accommodating. They were patient and explained the different items on the menu. The team even gave me a sweet birthday card and gift card. Thank you to the Reyla team for being so thoughtful! I will definitely be back to try dinner at this spot!

Absolutely loved Reyla! Been wanting to try this quaint, gorgeous restaurant in Asbury for awhile and we ended up celebrating a friend's birthday here. Lots of photo-worthy spots and great lighting too! Reyla also contains the entrance to a speakeasy that is right underneath them which we of course had to check out! Such a great experience. At Reyla we got a champagne bottle and were having a great time-- vibes are nice and our server was so kind and helpful. For the table to share we got their Turkish hummus served with warm pitas, which actually comes heated on a skillet! It was actually so flavorful and delicious -- I wasn't sure if I would enjoy hot hummus but it surely added to the experience of eating hummus. I will definitely be trying more Turkish hummus in the future. For my entree I got the Khachapuri, a Georgian bread with egg and sun dried tomatoes. It was delicious and so good when I ate it nice and warm. I ate the entire thing and was very impressed, especially as a vegetarian. Some hot sauce would have been perfect addition but I was so hungry I ate it as it was, nice and refreshing but also filling. The staff was so kind they even gave my friend a birthday card with a gift card inside for her birthday. We were impressed & grateful! Definitely something you remember, so shoutout to Reyla for that. We will definitely be coming around again to try out their dinner menu! Loved these Middle Eastern eats.
