REYLA

"Our server was outstanding! My wife and I coming from a hospitality background, appreciated the server being attentive without overbearing while allowing us the time needed to enjoy the two birthdays being celebrated. Food was tremendous, with special shout out to the Shrimp and Grits as well as the Turkish Hummus. Look forward to the next time we visit."

"My wife and I had dinner at Reylas and we were extremely happy with the entire experience. Our waiter was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We shared 4 appetizers and we had more than enough food to satisfy us both. We highly recommend the Turkish Hummus and the Eggplant appetizer. Both were fantastic. Although this was our first time, it certainly will not be our last."

"New FAVORITE restaurant in Asbury Park: Reyla (middle eastern cuisine)!!!! It was our first time there, so we didn’t even think to take food pics (wish we had), but every plate was amazing!! Layers of flavors, bright and rich, along with aromas to make you salivate! (I joked that I wanted to take the eggplant dish around the corner and lick the bowl clean for the sauce!) And to top it off, we mentioned that today is our anniversary (Happy 22 yrs, Ron!), and they gave us this card, signed by every staff member!!! What?!?! Talk about service! Thank you to our servers, Sophie & Dave, who helped us choose the best dishes. We WILL be back!!! @heyreyla"

"Today my wife and I visited this establishment for the first time, and I can assure you it won’t be our last! The minute you step inside the first thing you notice is how clean and chic everything looks. Everything from the restauran decor, to the staff themselves, makes you feel relaxed and welcome. Our server today was super helpful, and the food was absolutely incredible (my hats off to the cooks in the back for pushing out such a great flavor bombs!). As someone who worked in fine dining for over 20 years, I can be a bit picky, but I had not a single bad thing to say about the food. We started off by ordering the avocado toast, which was absolutely incredible. Served on a light fluffy focaccia bread with pickled onions and beets, every bite was flavorful with a slight kick to keep you going back for more. For the entrées, we ordered the waffles and fried chicken and the vegan tofu shakshouka. First off, the shakshouka was out of this world. The seasonings were spot on, and the scrambled tofu and chickpeas went great together. The Latkas were also very delicious, just the right amount of crisp. And finally, the chicken and waffles were absolutely off the chart. The chicken was perfect and tender, cooked to perfection, and the waffles with chicken gravy were a perfect complement. I left this restaurant, feeling full and happy to a found a new eating spot! Thank you to the cooks and servers for doing such a wonderful job! AAA+"

"You cannot beat all night happy hour on Wednesday. The happy hour menu had a good selections of cocktails and a good varieties of shareable tapas. We had lettuce wrap, mezze plate, and two chicken sliders. All were great, especially the lettuce wrap. You got three of them. The chicken sliders were tiny. You can finish one in two bites if you want. The menu is somewhat limited but the cocktails and wine list were long."
