There\u2019s a moment of pride for the kosher dining world: in the debut edition of Resy\u2019s \u201cThe Resy 100: Restaurants Around the Country That Define Dining Today,\u201d one kosher restaurant stands out. That restaurant is Mutra, located in North Miami and led by chef-owner Raz Shabtai.<\/p>\n

Why This List Matters<\/p>\n

Resy describes The Resy 100 as a curation of restaurants (on their platform) that thrill diners, that serve exceptional food, and that define the best of American dining culture today. This isn\u2019t simply a ranking of top spots for hype\u2019s sake; it\u2019s a reflection of the restaurants shaping how people dine right now. Considering Resy\u2019s reach across thousands of restaurants nationwide, inclusion on this list is a meaningful honor.<\/p>\n

Even more notable, among these 100 restaurants, Mutra appears as the only kosher-certified establishment. For diners seeking elevated kosher cuisine, this is a significant milestone. It demonstrates that fine dining under kosher standards can be recognized on a national stage for its creativity, quality, and impact.<\/p>\n

What Makes Mutra Stand Out<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the moment guests walk into Mutra, they\u2019re immersed in a balance of Miami\u2019s vibrant energy and Israeli-inspired flavors. Chef Raz Shabtai, originally from Jerusalem, expresses his roots in each dish while embracing local ingredients and modern culinary techniques. Highlights from the menu include a dish titled \u201c1 perfect falafel,\u201d served with tomato gel and za\u2019atar, and a stuffed cabbage (malfuf) filled with lamb rag\u00f9 and tahini, elevated with powdered Persian lemon.<\/p>\n

Other standout dishes include a lamb kebab complemented by ajo blanco and mint oil, and \u201cchicken liver dreaming to become foie gras,\u201d featuring date honey and a pistachio crumble. Shabtai\u2019s cooking is both refined and deeply personal, blending Middle Eastern flavors with Mediterranean textures in a way that feels uniquely Miami.<\/p>\n

Chef Raz Chimes in<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We reached out to Chef Raz and asked for his take on being the only kosher restaurant on the Resy list. \u201cFrom day one, our goal has been to show what\u2019s possible within kosher dining \u2014 that it can be modern, elevated, and welcoming to everyone. We put so much love into every detail: the food, the space, the service \u2014 all meant to create something truly special for our guests.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all thanks to the deep appreciation for flavor, tradition and connection that I learned from my beloved grandma Mutra, whose legacy lives on in every detail of what we do.<\/p>\n

This recognition isn\u2019t just about our restaurant \u2014 it\u2019s a win for the entire kosher community. Grateful for our team, our guests, and everyone pushing the boundaries of what kosher dining can be. \ud83d\ude4f\u2728\u201d<\/p>\n

A Milestone for Kosher Dining<\/p>\n

Mutra\u2019s inclusion on The Resy 100 list carries broader significance.<\/p>\n

Representation \u2013 Kosher fine dining has often been overlooked by mainstream food media. Mutra\u2019s recognition places it alongside some of the most acclaimed restaurants in the country, validating kosher cuisine as part of the broader culinary conversation.<\/p>\n

Accessibility \u2013 Every restaurant on the list is accessible through the Resy platform, meaning that Mutra represents not only excellence but also inclusivity, making high-end kosher dining more visible and approachable.<\/p>\n

Visibility for Kosher Travelers \u2013 For Jewish travelers and kosher diners across the country, Mutra\u2019s success serves as proof that world-class dining experiences are no longer confined to specific markets. It positions Miami as a leading destination for both kosher and contemporary Middle Eastern cuisine.<\/p>\n

The Takeaway<\/p>\n

Mutra\u2019s recognition by Resy reinforces what many already knew \u2014 that Chef Raz Shabtai is redefining what kosher fine dining can be. His restaurant\u2019s inclusion on a list that highlights the most defining restaurants in the United States is both a personal triumph and a proud moment for the kosher dining community.<\/p>\n

Mutra is located in North Miami.<\/p>\n
