Veya Restaurant

Excellent meal from start to finish. The lobster was perfect. My steak was uniquely wonderful. Key lime desert was nicely balanced. Good wine list.

Veya is amazing! The restaurant itself is beautiful. The service was stellar. And the food was scrumptious! If you are looking for a fancy or romantic experience, this is the place for that. We were here on vacation, and just in our super casual vacation clothes (t-shirts and shorts) but they served us like we were royalty anyway. Husband got lobster, son got seared mahi-mahi, and I had the pumpkin soup and a few bites off of my kid’s and husband’s plates. They served us fresh breads to start (Johnny cakes, pumpkin spice bread, and banana bread) which were delicious. We also ordered a couple of appetizers- the steak lettuce wraps and a ceviche dish. The boys had sorbet for dessert (they tried all the flavors and loved the coconut lime the best -all were great) and I had a decaf coffee with cream. I’m pretty sure they used high quality espresso beans because it tasted phenomenal (and I am a latteaholic and it did not taste like plain ol’ coffee to me). Anyway, eating here was like experiencing a moment in heaven. Not a cheap restaurant, but it was worth every penny.

If I could give 10 stars I would! The food: we had the lobster bisque and consider ourselves lobster bisque officionados coming from penn state, but this had a distinctly island take while still Being sophisticated. The lobster fritters were made of generous chunks of lobster with just enough filling to hold it together. The crudo of the day was ceviche with plantain chips. It was so good even my husband who does not love fish loved it. I had the tuna rare and I do not know what the chef did but it was the best tuna I’ve ever had. Crusted in some crunchy savory spicy (not not too spicy) mixture and served with a perfectly grilled pineapple slice, a cooked vegetable salsa, grilled veg and plantain chips. A feast for the eyes and the palate. My husband had the lamb chops which were done perfectly and so flavorful. The dessert menu was no less inventive. The tahini fudge with chocolate gelato and homemade oat crumble was a revelation. The staff were so kind, attentive and personable. We were well cared for without feeling stifled. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the lighting, decor and music were perfect for a date night, special occasion or just a quiet tete a tete. It is a little fancy so break out the good dress for this one. You will be thrilled with your meal and your evening.

I definitely recommend this place. The food was excellent as well as the service. You may even run into a famous person. Janet Jackson walked in and sat at the table right next to me. That made my wife's and I anniversary one to remember.

This was, quite literally, the best meal my wife and I have ever had! The atmosphere, the food, the service - all perfect. We ordered the lobster fritters to start - in addition to the Johnny cakes, the fritters were delicious. I tried the shrimp - the curry sauce was phenomenal, along with the hush puppies - and my wife had the mahi mahi. The addition of sticky rice to the fish completely transformed and elevated it. For dessert, I got the apple pear crisp. The ice cream, combined with the warm hot crumble, is amazing.

If in Anguilla, you HAVE to eat here!

Wow. YEYA xxoo

I can't say enough about the special restaurant located in Sandy Ground, Anguilla.

The food is absolutely phenomenal. Order everything, Lobster, and you'll absolutely love it. The lobster fritters are probably the best lobster related menu item that I and my family have ever eaten. The lobster bisque is to die for!

The service, the staff is so so friendly. We celebrated a birthday at VEYA and the staff all sang and had smiles on their faces.

VEYA is worth the trip, worth the money and worth the time.

I wish we could bring this restaurant back home with us!

On your trip to Anguilla if you're only planning to visit one special restaurant pick VEYA.

I can't wait to get back to Anguilla again and visit VEYA

World Class Vegan dish nearly overlooked. Have eaten here for 20 years and enjoyed the menu when I ate meat, but the Cauliflower + tofu dish on the menu tonite was greatly under appreciated by the staff. The spiced spinach, reminded me of truffles, this was the best dish I’ve had this trip no offense to all my favorites.

My clients couldn’t speak more highly of the restaurant and food for New Year’s Eve dinner! Top notch!

Everything about Veya was great! The food, the service, the ambiance. Just don't forget the bug spray.

Dinner with friends. Nice restaurant in the middle of Anguilla. Nice table, nice menu and good timing to the first course. Live music. Very nice panzerotti bread. A very good experience.

Beautiful little restaurant! You're located within what I believe is a botanical gardens (as we were there at night, I couldn't be totally sure) but on the second floor it puts you up with the tops of the trees for a very romantic feel. There were no bugs which I was very surprised about being in a garden. The service was wonderful. By far the fastest we've had on the island. The lobster fritters and shrimp cigars were amazing along with the salad. The ribeye special was wonderful and the fish was beautifully done. The sauces were all fantastic. The dessert! Oh My The dessert! The keylime pie was amazing and tangy. The lava cake was decadent and melty. I would come back for that alone!

Like eating in the treetops…really a unique experience. Service was top notch and food was great! Shrimp and hush puppies delicious! Lounge singer on ground floor created wonderful ambience.

Great cocktails and live music on Friday night. Very friendly and attentive staff. Something on the menu for every taste.

Make sure you clarify you don’t want to be stuck in the entrance. We sat there and after people kept walking by us we asked for a proper table. It took almost 30 minutes to get a table. It’s as if they just threw an extra table at the entrance where people walked in. There were no less than five other tables available and they waited until one crammed in the back was available. Make sure you clarify you want a proper table. Completely ridiculous.

The atmosphere top notch; the live music was a perfect mixture to sitting up in the trees with a nice ambiance.
We started off with three appetizers which were excellent
- Lobster? Fritters
- Moroccan Shrimp
- Leafy Greens?
All were excellent, as well as the drinks. These are a must try.

For our main entrees we ordered
Spicy Jerk Tuna w/ a pineapple rum
Butter poached lobster and spinach risotto

They were good but they were just lacking true Caribbean flavor.

Drinks and live music to end the night made for a nice evening.

Recommended to us from a local, did not disappoint! Staff were kind and attentive.and there was lovely live music downstairs nearby. We tried the shrimp cigars, lobster and the lamb chops which were cooked beautifully. Also I don’t know what they put in their biscuit/bread but that was delicious. Looking forward to visiting again!

Excellent food and service. We dined at multiple establishments on the island during our seven days and this was our best meal. It is a locally owned and loved establishment. There was also live music which created a fun ambiance. Thank you for having us and making it a memorable experience.

Food was excellent! Service was remarkable. Great attention to detail. Definitely will go again. Best meal of the week! Also live music was a plus!

On the top of our list of great restaurants on Anguilla. Everything is special here. Food is very creative and original.

Amazing. Great live music downstairs. Booked a trip on the Tradition for a sunset cruise and had a 7: 30 here for dinner and had plenty of time. AMAZING food. Grilled crayfish were superb.
