Reyla - Asbury Park

We always enjoy our time at Reyla. We love the creative cocktails made by Chris and Louie. Our server Wolf was friendly and attentive. The cocktails were delicious and the brunch omelette was flavorful. We will definitely be returning soon, as there is nothing like Reyla where we live. It's worth driving an hour to experience this unique restaurant. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $30-50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dish: Turkish Hummus

My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time today, and I can say with certainty that we will be coming back! Upon stepping inside, we were impressed by the cleanliness and chic decor. The staff made us feel relaxed and welcomed. Our server was very helpful, and the food was outstanding. As someone with over 20 years of experience in fine dining, I can be quite picky, but I had nothing but praise for the food. We started with the incredible avocado toast on fluffy focaccia bread with pickled onions and beets. For our entrees, we ordered the waffles and fried chicken, as well as the vegan tofu shakshouka. The shakshouka was fantastic, with perfectly seasoned scrambled tofu and chickpeas. The latkas were crispy and delicious, and the chicken and waffles were outstanding. We left feeling full and happy to have discovered this new spot. The cooks and servers did an excellent job!

Reyla is an excellent restaurant that offers Mediterranean cuisine with a unique twist. The atmosphere is lively and hip, but not overly noisy or pretentious. The open kitchen adds to the overall experience. We enjoyed the Turkish hummus and falafel as starters, as well as the hearty falafel shawarma wrap. The shrimp, steak, and octopus dishes were outstanding. The restaurant has made an effort to offer more vegan options, with great success. However, the mixed mushroom dish was disappointing. The kitchen tends to overuse pickled vegetables in many dishes, which detracts from their distinct flavors. Service was friendly and they even provided a birthday card and discount for our next visit. We will definitely be back. Vegetarian options are available and highly recommended. Overall, Reyla is a great choice for a night out with both omnivores and vegetarians.

Reyla is a special place. We tried to go over the summer, but there was no parking so we were excited to come try it when the summer crowd left. Every dish we had the hummus, the artichokes, the schnitzel and lamb burger was fantastic. Well prepared and unique. The cocktails are amazing as well. The atmosphere is awesome, and the staff are great. Will definitely be coming back here soon. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I went last night and this place is the real deal. From the finely crafted and eclectic list of cocktails to the hummus, falafel, artichokes and the steak. It’s all amazing. It seems the Chef and staff crush it every night as this place was highly recommended. Now I see why. Our server, Mia was was informative, engaging and warm. Also, cool vibes with the open kitchen and just general atmosphere both upstairs and downstairs at Layla. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
