Doya is a vibrant Wynwood eatery serving modern Aegean dishes ideal for sharing, with a menu brimming with delicious mezze and a lively bar scene.
"It is an act of bravery to venture into Wynwood during Art Basel. But if you’re willing to put up with the crowds or have to be there for an event, Doya is where you want to eat. This Aegean restaurant is really reliable—from the service to the food to the beautiful, roomy space that will help you relax after weaving through jammed sidewalks like a salmon swimming upstream. We have yet to try a plate here we didn’t love, especially the grilled tiger prawns and lamb kebab. Anyone even remotely in the mood for Mediterranean will love it." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"We tend to be as suspicious of big Wynwood restaurants as we are of an unknown number that wants to talk to us about the money we’re owed by the IRS. But dinner here is as delightful as finding out the IRS does, in fact, owe you $5,000. The big Aegean restaurant has some lovely outdoor seating and a spacious dining room that’s pretty enough for a date but casual enough for an easy Wednesday dinner. The best part about Doya, though, is the big list of very good meze plates: octopus as tender as fresh mozzarella, great kebabs, grilled prawns, and lots more." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Doya is one of the reasons we haven’t completely given up on Wynwood. Their menu of hot and cold mezze is firmly pro-sharing and very good. Dinner here is always one of the more tolerable nights out in Wynwood, but if you want your double date to take place during brunch, even better. Their Aegean breakfast spread comes with an incredible amount of dips and gevrek, and is great for sharing. Toss some egg dishes and bubbly cocktails into your order, and you have a lovely brunch for four (which you should reserve in their shaded patio if it’s not terrible outside). " - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"Serving modern Greek and Turkish food, this spot’s shady outdoor patio and extensive indoor seating regularly buzzes with happy patrons. For Miami Spice, the restaurant is offering a selection of cold meze (appetizers) like haydari (garlic yogurt with mint) and muhammara (roasted red pepper, pomegranate walnuts, garlic, and breadcrumbs). Main courses, or hot mezes, include grilled Turkish meatballs (kofte) and wood-fired chicken with onion, sumac, cherry tomatoes, and mint. End the meal with baklava or figs and walnuts. Available daily for $35 per person." - Alona Martinez
"Doya has debuted a Sunday brunch from noon to 3 p.m., channeling the village breakfasts of Aegean towns blending Turkish and Greek flavors. The a la carte menu includes savory pies, pides, egg dishes, baked breads, homemade marmalades, and imported cheeses. An Aegean breakfast table option is available for $68. The brunch is complemented by three champagne cocktails featuring ingredients like Nolet’s silver gin and Hennessy VS Cognac." - Alona Martinez, Olee Fowler
