Joya pulls off the neat trick of being a Court St. hot spot (Brooklyn social scene) while still managing to serve excellent food. Though it gets a little crowded, especially on weekend evenings, once you're tucked into your seat you're guaranteed an excellent dining experience. Staff is friendly but laid back, food is fresh, colorful and delicious. They seem to work wonders with anything coconut, curry or mango. Get there early to beat the hipsters, but plan on having a great meal.
