   Terrific service from Ariel (and the owner Mohammed And GM Ramil said hi too) elevated a very good meal. I had the very reasonable $75 10 item tasting menu- some terrific flavours of note were the lamb lollipop, green papaya salad, and fish with yellow curry. I would only say the pacing was a little too fast for a single diner - perhaps it's meant for sharing but as stuff came out at the same time I couldn't eat it before it started getting cold Perhaps smaller portions Mohammed? It would still be great value - and maybe only two dishes at once? All in all a great experience. Recommended

   This was our third experience at Paya. Each has been consistently outstanding. The ambience is tropical and most inviting. Service is attentive and impeccable. The food is a visual and gustatory explosion of delight with careful attention to preparation and execution. Paya is deserving of every accolade. Please do not miss this gem on Miami Beach!

   Paya is exceptional! We had dinner reservations for every night of our trip and this was by far the best food and service of any place we went. The interior dining room is beautifully designed but don’t miss out on the outside seating in the back which is a peaceful poolside oasis and nice for an intimate gathering or larger group.the service is above and beyond. Attentive but not fussy and so knowledgeable about each dish and the speciality cocktails. We did the tasting menu and enjoyed everything! The papaya salad was a stand out, as was the ceviche with plantain. The lamb chop was a stunning surprise. All of the sauces on every dish are pure perfection. Portions are plentiful but not overwhelming. We added one appetizer to the tasting, which we didn’t really need but just wanted to try more things. This place is a Miami Beach don’t miss!

   We walked in for a 7 o'clock reservation and the place was not crowded, my wife said 'ong why did you book this place!' We walked out after our unbelievable meal and my wife said 'omg, thank you for booking this place!' Food was superb, great layers of flavor in every bite. Truffle Brie grilled cheese, lamb chops, Thai fried chicken among the many standouts on this eclectic menu! Will be back again!

    The atmosphere is great. Outdoor seating is fun and the interior has a nice vibe as well. The staff members are super attentive and friendly and know the menu well. Great environment for a fun casual meal as a couple or with friends. The roast cauliflower was a great sharing "extra entree"!
