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.
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
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.
The food was good, portions small for the price but that's to be expected. The one item we didn't love was the cauliflower fritters, they weren't very crispy and lacked flavor. Drinks were excellent, just wish the menu was a bit more diverse (maybe a fish plate outside of mussels) and bigger portions.

If I could give the service 6 stars I would. This place is Michelin star level. We went for my grandmas 93 birthday and it was our first time there. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable even before they knew we were celebrating. Our group of 5 ladies (1 being vegan) all with varying pallets did the reylas dozen where you get to try everything on the menu (minus the Schwarma wrap) and I can’t recommend highly enough. It was so well paced and more than enough food. We got to try things we ordinarily wouldn’t have and enjoyed each plate more than the last (especially the Turkish hummus). The vibes of the restaurant are immaculate and the drinks are so so so much fun. Morgan was our server and she was amazing and made our night that much more special. As if our night couldn’t get any better the staff gave my grandma a hand written birthday card, I can’t think of a single restaurant I’ve ever been to that take the time out to care for patrons like that. We’re still talking about what a magical night it was a day later. Thank you thank you thank you to the staff and do yourself a favor and give this place a try!!
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.

Honestly, it's one of the best nights out to dinner I've had in a long time. We started with the Turkish hummus, which had butter and cinnamon in it, and it reminded me of autumn. We had the salad, which tasted fresh and had a great dressing that paired really nice with it. The fishballs you see were not what I eas expecting in a goodway as they had so much flavor and spices! I do think it could use a little bit more sauce to counter the dryness of them. Our shared entree was the chicken, which I know is usually a safe bet but was so rich in flavor and crunchy. The quinoa and pickled veggies on top in combination with the peas made me absolutely love this dish. Their attention to detail here is amazing in all their dishes, and it really showed when one of the food runners gave our desert to another table. Not only did the head chef come out and apologize, he gave us a tasting of there gluten free truffles, which were amazing and creamy, and let us know they would be bringing another order out right away
We didn't even have to say anything they corrected the mistake themselves! I think not only how it shows what great attention to detail the chef has but how good of a restaurant Reyla is! I do highly recommend giving them a try!
I am 65 yo and travel a lot and have been to many different restaurants. This one is definitely in my top 5 and might be favorite! The food is creative and DELICIOUS, the atmosphere is spectacular and the service was amazing. Our server, Sophia, had that amazing quality of being totally present and then being a beautiful, warm background. I can’t say enough about our lovely experience
We always have a great time at Reyla. We love the inventive cocktails from Chris and Louie. Our server Wolf was also very friendly and helpful. The cocktails were great, and the brunch omelette was so flavorful! We love it here, and will definitely be back soon. There is nothing like it where we live so we have no problem. Driving an hour to come and enjoy ourselves.
