Delicious food and nice outdoor seating! So many interesting flavors (if a bit spicy). This place is really good, presentation of food was beautiful and we shared four different dishes which was sufficient for two people. It’s a little like a tapas place. Would recommend for date night, not really a kid friendly place.

I gotta say the only negative is the portion of some dishes and it leaves you wanting more. The flavors are one of the best Ive ever had. It makes for great conversation just talking about what you are tasting. Cool place as well. Definitely a must for foodies.

Fantastic surprises with popping flavor and turns in every bite. As a general foodie, it’s not often I’m impressed, but the chef outdid my expectations here. Plus, great service from well treated and well-paid staff, based on our server’s testimonio.

Fantastic restaurant! I want to definitely note that absolutely all the staff was extremely kind and friendly and I found it really awesome that even people who werent our tables server were helping clear the table and got water refills for us. The guy at the bar making and dropping off the drinks with the Hawaiian shirt was also extremely nice and friendly.On top of that, the food was unbelievable! Absolutely everything we ordered just tasted fantastic.Really great overall experience. Cant wait to go back!

Wow the food was amazing and the cocktails on point. We shared a bunch of small plates including the Turkish Hummus which i couldnt get enough of. All the food was so full of flavors and spices in the absolute best way. Highly recommend for date night or for small groups as well.

Reyla is an EXPERIENCE! The food, drinks, decor, music, atmosphere, etc it’s FULL BODY. Whenever I go I order everything and more. We ordered a falafel shwarma and was brought a chicken one by mistake. The waitress left the chicken one on the table (which we enjoyed lol) and the chef personally brought out the falafel shwarma and apologized… service is unmatched and the food is phenomenal

My wife was raving about this place ever since she went last summer. One of the few times I can say she was right! Reylas food and service were top notch. We really enjoyed the evening. Only regret was having kids with us. We could have enjoyed the basement lounge a bit more.....

A+ experience. Food was fantastic. Service was excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful. Lex was our server and she was awesome. She helped us with the menu and made us feel welcome with her warm personality.

Trust Oz. Oz the bartender. If it’s not busy, tell him what you like and let him go to work.

This restaurant is a gem. From the look and feel of the restaurant to the food, this a great spot. The food was amazing. So much flavor and love going into these dishes. I will be coming back.

This is a true grand re-opening. They did it safely, and they did it well...exceeding expectations. We have always enjoyed the flavors here and the new menu items made it even better. The chef easily makes sure vegan requests taste no different than their counterparts and the team here is great. The order from table QR code helps with table needs and the team was just great with our tiny addition. At the age of 2, she loves to cheers the table, and the bartender was patient and made her a mocktail which made her night. Thank you all for the service and food. We cant wait to return.

Fantastic, trustworthy, comforting service. They accommodated for us when we were trying to catch a train. Food came out fast. Food was pretty good! Got some yummy pita bread. Design of the place is great! Was a super worthwhile bite.

Amazing food. Great staff. Will definitely be back. Our waiter Mike was point with his suggestions.

Excellent food. Very different from most other restaurants. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. I will definitely be back when I am in Asbury Park next time.

GREAT Experience. Chef Anthony has created an incredible menu. The delicious Mediterranean dishes were coming one after another. The service was exceptional. We will definitely be coming back!😋

Delicious meal of small plates (hummus, eggplant, cauliflower, falafel .....) each of which were little masterpieces. We didnt recognize any of the wines, but were offered a taste of one from Greece that was recommended by our server and it was delicious. The restaurant has a great vibe, the service was excellent and our whole dining experience was top notch. Highly recommend.

Please don’t miss this place! Great venue, tasty and creative food, and great service. Vegan friendly!

Great atmosphere and even better food. Small plates to share of creative foods and flavors. Staff very nice. Would definitely go back

Nice place. Good atmosphere. Pleasant servers. Favorites were the Carpaccio, Shrimp couscous and Codfish. Hummus was delicious. Signature cocktail called Hey Reyla was really good.

This is by far the best Mediterranean restaurant around. Years of Israeli tradition have perfected these dishes and I would definitely recommend getting some of their homemade falafel. Very cool atmosphere inside the restaurant and friendly wait staff. Would also recommend going during Happy Hour when prices are cheaper and you can sample more. Will be returning very soon!

If youre looking for something Different, Affordable & Quality go to Reylas. From the Food to the Drinks, the Flavors were out of this World. Very sophisticated.

I used to love this place.Tonight an old friend and I went back to Reyla.Let me start by saying I understand that you have been so many challenges brought on by Covid. I guess Reyla is feeling them.There is a very limited menu. The bartender was new, the waiter was newFor the most part the food was passable, The salmon really was good.We were so disappointed. I’m not going back

Amazing atmosphere and delicious food!!! Could eat here every night happily!

Hands down the best falafel in New Jersey! The hummus is also delicious. Went for a few drinks and appetizers. I will go back for a full meal next time.

10/10 in everyway possible! Cocktails incredible(bartenders even better), from the apps to the entrée every bite is mouthwatering. Top shop staff and customer service on top of it all!

Good exotic bites. Good service.

Stopped in for a taste and was not disappointed. The hummus is smooth and tasty. The pita is toasted just right with a very tasty Zaatar. Also had the signature Hey Reyla cocktail and it hit the spot and the staff is kind and attentive

The food is delicious and the some of the drinks are great, depending if you choose the right ones. You cant go wrong with any food and the blood, sugar sex magic cocktail is amazing. Reyla likes to tinker with the menu, so its a different experience each time. Overall one of the best restaraunts in Asbury.

Upon arriving at Reyla we were greeted by an enthusiastic host who encouraged us to ask about that evenings special (more on that later). Our waitress was delightful. Reyla has small plate meant for sharing. We ordered a lot. Especially for two people, but everything was delicious. We definitely asked about the special and it was incredible. Burrata, chicharron with shwarma spices and gooseberry jam. Crazy, sounds strange but was amazing. The kale salad is also good, you cant go wrong with the hummus and the eggplant was excellent.

One of the best experiences I had with friends

Wow...the food is sooo good here. Feels like an upscale restaurant in a casual atmosphere. The staff, both front of the house, servers and the cooking staff pay attention to so many details.

Good food, great staff. The turkish hummus was hot and delicious, so was the lamb burger.

Really great food and excellent service. Everything youd expect when you go to a great restaurant. The food is Mediterranean. I had the schwarma which was really made well. The bread tasted like it was made there and not too thick and a lot of amazing flavors inside. Our waitress was super cool too

You should try chicken kebab, shakshuka and the purple drink. Delicious food and great stuff.

Amazing food, amazing outdoor dining environment. REYLA has been doing such a great job at keeping both their employees and customers safe during the outdoor dining experience. Feel 100% comfortable with their procedures and protocols. Not to mention one of the BEST restaurants we’ve tried. Definitely going back ASAP!

Good selections on the menu and fun atmosphere

Top of the line service and good food. Nice place to have dinner to catch up with friends or family. Dishes are well portioned tapas style.

Best cocktails and awesome menu. Dodge and team have it going on!

Great food and awesome service!

Best fries ever!!! We ordered 3! Loved the lamb burger and the pomegranate salad too. Great atmosphere.

Truely one of the worst- Middle East- food restaurant.

The food was amazing. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service was great. We will definitely be back!

Excellent food and super courteous service!Yellow Falafel with beet were just right - warm crispy with a zing. Lamb burger (medium rare) with side of fries is 10/10.

Nice place. Tasty sharing plates and an adequate drink menu.

Everything is spicy.

Amazing! Great food, lovely staff and great atmosphere.

Delicious food, enjoyed the Israeli salad, but quite expensive for their serving size.

Every bite is delicious and flavorful!

Very professional customer service. Fantastic, fresh tasty food. The mushroom skewer caught us by surprise it was very light, unique and sweet. Veggie platter was huge and is a must. Falafel and portabella fries were wonderful. Great experience.

Have had some great experiences here. The drinks are always great, and the food is always good. Its a wonderful space and has been a great addition to Asbury. I look forward to meals here every time we go.

Okay bear with me here it has been a while. I am 99% sure that this was the Greek place I was taken to. This place was located on a busy and bustling area not far from where the beach is. I recall walking from the beach to get here. The food and service was good.

HOLLLUYYYYY my oh my this food was sooooo freakin good.I am fr craving that pita and babka rn.the special salad I had today WOAH I have no idea why this place wasnt packed??????mad good.however, some customers criticizing their food to the waitress,...,.. nope. get em out !!!!!!!10/10

Interesting, well-combined flavors, the best duck Ive ever had. Portions could be bigger though and small misses keep it from being 5 stars. Well-designed layout, makes it seem like an intimate, small space when, in reality, its quite big.

Food is always good and cocktails are well thought out and tasty. Its just a shame its always so empty. Granted its the off season but being the only people at the bar on more than one occasion feels bad. Wish them the best with the remodel. Get the Turkish hummus.

Portions are very small, so by the time you add few small plates your bill becomes too steep. So this place is better for a quick drink with a snack, rather then a dinner choice. Service is perfect.

Overall a fantastic dining experience. The food was delicious and service was attentive, not just from our server but everyone we came in contact with throughout the night. We have a lot of specific dietary needs and our server was very helpful in pointing out exactly what we could have and options for modification on other dishes.Our standouts for food would be the falafel and both the Turkish and Veggie hummus dishes, but there was not a weak dish.Highly highly recommend. Can’t thank them enough for what a great experience we had.

Alexis, the event coordinator, and the rest of the staff at Reyla made our private party of 22 people unbelievably seamless and amazing. Alexis was very thorough, knowledgeable, and super accommodating from start to finish. She even made it of importance that the menu was suitable for our vegan friend and requested that the chef create a special dish for her. This is absolutely an establishment that I recommend for any size party, as the food and drinks are phenomenal, staff are very welcoming, decor is great and the overall service is truly impeccable. Thank you for hosting our dinner, we will definitely be back soon!P.S. the chicken schnitzel is off the charts!!!

My friends and I went last night and the experience was quite disappointing.We ordered the dozen main dishes, so that we could try different options. Every plate was really minuscule and we couldnt even savor them.The worst part was with the chicken. It was not only bruised, but bloody as well. The waitress came back after talking to the chef and told us that it had been cooked with a slow cooker and was fully fine. Well, keep it longer then.

From the server, to the food, to the glass of wine. This place was outstanding. The plates are small but very delicious. I recommend the eggplant, falafel and the dates. The dates were THE BEST IVE EVER HAD.

Friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the food and provided recommendations. Great cocktail list and amazing food. Would definitely be back.

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been to! Their sunflower hummus is a must try! Their portions are small but they have big taste. The food is definitely something to savor and not swallow

My gosh, highly recommend! Everything is FULL of flavor. The kitchen knows exactly how win you over. Once we started eating we had to order more and more food because it was so delicious and the dishes are creative. Wine list superb! Well done Reyla 👏

Took my wife and my 5 month out to dinner tonight for 1st time here. We were really blown away. We are foodies and its pretty much what we live for, delicious food. Our whole experience was just amazing. Jennifer, our server, was exceptional and very kind to our daughter. The food was explosive in flavor and just delightful. I left there feeling full but not bogged down and I ate quite a bit of product. So excited to return and bring friends!!! A+++

Before we even got our food we knew we were going to have an amazing experience. Pip, the bartender introduced himself and answered all of our questions on their cocktails...which were so delicious. Jennifer, our waitress was by far one of the best servers we’ve ever had, and we’ve had a lot. She made some great recommendations based on our tastes and the food was incredible. We can’t say enough good things about this restaurant, their food and their service. We just can’t wait to go back!!

Get the King Crusher. Just do it.

Awesome food and Drinks. Great all in one spot for a casual relaxed fun evening out. Everything was great from beginning to end. Such a friendly helpful staff. Clean and bright cozt atmosphere. Will he going back again!

Every bite is an adventure of flavor in this tapas style restaurant. 6 shared plates more than filled the both of us. The staff is helpful & caring. Def worth the trip!

Amazing food! I’m Arab-American, and I’m consistently blown away by the thoughtful treatment of traditional Middle Eastern flavors the way Reyla reimagines their presentation. I’ve brought my chef mother and Egyptian father there for special occasions and they raved! Also went for my birthday, and when we got there the whole staff had signed a card left on the table with a gift card! Top notch service. Killer drinks too! My wife is a regular with her friends and always comes home happy!

Awesome design and atmosphere. Open. Spacious. Modern.Hostess raved about chicken livers, which Id NEVER order on my own. But at a place like this, and at most places of this caliber, I like to be guided by staff and expand my horizon. So I ordered it. Absolutely delicious, cant say enough about the intensity of the flavors packed into a small plate..Second visit I was guided to beef and lamb kofte by excellent bartender Dan. Its on same caliber of flavor as chicken liver.Great for groups, order lots of small plates. Bar is great for Solo or duo dining. And they have Hendricks gin. What else is needed?

Food was good but a bit too complex. Felt like they were trying too hard to be trendy and different. I dont like having to ask what things are because visually theyre confusing. Portions are small but if you attack the menu like a Tapas restaurant, youll be good to go. Service was great. Ambiance a bit barren but I can appreciate the simplicity. Simple is better than too busy.

They have a plethora of vegan options that change seasonally. The falafel is the best ive ever had, yet every item is scrumptious. The service is awesome every.single.time.

Great drinks, great service and staff, great food! I have been several times and have always been extremely pleased. Yesterday I had the lamb burger. It was amazing!

A nice local Mediterranean spot. The service wasnt great, especially since the place wasnt busy at all, but the food made up for it. The cocktails also made it a good deal. Pimps Dont Cry.

Fantastic Mediterranean food, great atmosphere, good drinks

Love the lamb burger 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Oh my god, Reyla is so good. I honestly have no complaints. Their kitchen was short staffed and it took a while to get seated (despite having a reservation), and the food came out slowly, but we honestly didn’t care - the food was that good. The Turkish hummus was the best hummus I’ve ever had, and I eat a lot of hummus. The Mussels broth was so flavorful; the artichoke dish was another favorite. The cocktail list is inventive, without trying too hard. The best part is the value - you can easily do dinner for two, with drinks, for less than $100...a comparable dinner in NYC would be more than twice that.I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Phenomenal food! Out of this world! And of course the bartenders and staff are amazing. Highly recommend for a nice night out in Asbury!

Get Reylas Dozen for 4 people. Best meal in town. Plates come out a little too fast, but food is excellent

What a menu! You must try everything! Our bartender Nerissa made one of the best drinks Ive ever had and made the perfect recommendations for dinner. Definitely will be back!

Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful staff -- food and drinks fresh and fantastic. I cant say enough about their Mediterranean cuisine. I just have to keep going back.

Great drinks, food and service. This is our new spot in a great place down the Shore

Connoisseurs of Mediterranean cuisine, feel free to pass this restaurant! Lamb was terrible, 9$ for 1 burned paper, really?, pork belly was totally uncutable and made my weekend! Thanks guys 😬

Lots of gluten-free options. Only small dishes available from 4pm-5pm. At 5pm they start to serve entrees. Very friendly staff.

Nice place to hangout and have a little snack, small portions which taste okay. Friendly staff. I don’t know if I would call it Mediterranean though. The strangest part is they have great reviews but it’s not even busy :/

Came for the first time last night. Excellent craft cocktails. Food was mostly delicious. We did the Reyla dozen menu. More than enough food for 4 people. The skirt steak, salmon, cauliflower and octopus were our favs. The lamb sliders were disappointing.We’d definitely come back to sit at the bar to have cocktails and some of their delicious food again. Excellently curated wine list too.

Delicious food served shared played style. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options to enjoy.

Dallas was an excellent waiter. My date and I wanted vegan meals. I asked Dallas to bring us out 4 or 5 vegan small plates and he couldnt of done a better job. 👍

Creative, delicious Mediterranean fare. Great service too! Highly recommend!

Inventive food and drinks. Accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

This place was amazing. Just went for apps and cocktails but I cant wait to go back for a meal. The stuffed grape leaves were crazy good and the hummus was obviously homemade and fresh. Soooo good, highly recommend. And just because when in Rome, (or Greece as it were) have some ouzo! Yiasas!

We had an excellent experience at Reyla! Food was delicious. We had the Reyla Dozen and it was all amazing! Alexis is a great waitress! Very friendly and professional! Definitely coming back!!

Came here with my GF a few weeks ago and we sat at the bar. The bartenders were funny but I didnt like their pinot noir selection-blah. The food we ordered was good as well. We did hummus and pita and a few other apps that left us full. The atmosphere is very clean and had me feeling like I was in Greece somewhere.

Best food around the area, fantastic service and relaxing environment. It gets very busy on weekends I suggest to reserve your table ASAP!! 10/10

Very flavorful dishes. Must try Mediterranean place

This may have been the greatest gastronomic experience of my life. Amazing small platters to share with family and friends, and Jamies cocktails are to die for. Ive ordered lamb tagine six different times since eating at REYLA, and no one makes it nearly as tasty as the chef at REYLA. Whenever I return to Asbury Park, and Im not already at Barrio Costero, Ill definitely come back here, without a doubt.

Great waiter, good food 😃

We really enjoyed Reyla! The service was good & the atmosphere is unique. Well be back!

Great drinks in a super cool lounge atmosphere

Food is good. Tried it 3 times. Left hungry and much lighter in the wallet.

Delicious food, some great wine, classy decor. Lots of veg options
