Jaya is an unreal experience. The food is unbelievable. I have been at least ten times and it always blows me away. This restaurant is a must. Not only is the food exceptional, but the ambiance is magnificent. You get to see extremely talented performers and listen to upbeat and fun music. The drinks are also delicious but definitely expensive so I would recommend simply going for the food and having a drink either before or after on your own. But, if you want to spend a little extra then get the Lychee martini.

Excellent dining experience! The food was authentic Italian, the grilled veges was outstanding, also the Rucola E Mandorle Salad which had pears, arugula goat cheese and the chicken soup ( soup of the day)were all sooo delicious! Also, all of us broke down and had the Papperdelle Milano and couldn’t say enough wonderful things about it! Tender filet, Italian gravy was perfect and wide noodles cooked to perfection! Desserts were made in house and the crème brûlée was my absolute favorite! Prices are super reasonable for Miami area and the Waiter was incredible! He’s been there 17 years, knew the menu inside out and all wait staff and bus boys worked together for a perfect experience!

From the moment you enter and see the funky, eclectic decor, you know that you're in a welcoming space. You'll be warmly greeted and seated. The menu offers enough plates to allow for a variety of palates, but few enough that allow them to be perfected. The homemade pasta dishes are always an excellent choice, the salads are fresh and the panini are lovely. If you love eggplant parmigiani, you're in luck. And the dessert menu is divine!
