50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hallandale Beach

“I like this place a lot. The food is served impeccably. Large menu of authentic Turkish food. Reasonable prices and the most important very nice owners (Tuba’s brother). The tea they serve is black tea from Sri Lanka (it has some bergamot hint ). Its a true killer. I highly recommend them.“

“Absolutely the best experience I've had in a long time. Every item was perfect. The Caesar salad was beautiful and delicious. The calamari was fried to perfection. The chicken lasagna was great. And the Tiramisu...there are no words to describe how amazing their homemade dessert was. It was obvious everything is made from scratch. The staff was friendly, venue beautiful and the music sealed the deal. The prices can't be beat either!“

“Ambiance and food was great. The server (a young girl) was odd.....very very sarcastic. At first it was cute but after the 10th sarcastic comment, it got annoying. It felt weird. Other than her......it was a great experience and meal. We will return.“

“Dad loves the schawarma. Different textures with a little heat. Definitely recommend.“

“Very fun restaurant with beautiful Turkish Tiffany lamps as decor. On weekends they have a very lovely singer who sings in 7-10 different languages to your requests! Service is wonderful. All the waitresses are pretty and sweet Abandon parking and easy cozy atmosphere! You can’t go wrong!“

“Location and great sea food.“

“Great great new happy hour appetizer menu. Perfect with their red wine list .“

“We came here for breakfast. We tried to find this the first morning we were here but didn't realize this is not just "Pink Love Donuts", it is also "Broken Eggs Cafe". We didn't go in because we thought it was just a donut shop. They actually have table service here and we were waited on right away. I had waffles and fresh fruit. It was very good. I really enjoyed it. Everyone liked what they ordered. I would come here again. The reason I gave this only four stars is because it was really expensive. 50 dollars for my husband and I to have breakfast but the service was good and fast.“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“Food and service was excellent“

“By far the best and most delicious place in South Florida Just off the highway So fresh and delicious and if you are looking for a spot that would remind you of home come here The Kuskus with the matron is my favorite“

They have a full bar and lovely Greek food.Vegetarian options: Hummus, salads, etc.Kid-friendliness: The owner chatted it up with a little girl around age 7.Wheelchair accessibility: Room.arpund thw tables to maneuver.“

“Even if you are not from Balkan, and want to try something new - go for it! Food is amazing. Portions are huge, everything is fresh. If you want a good quality meat, there you go! Cevapi(beef links), gourmet burger, skewers.. it's just great.“

“Yalla Motek serves the best falafel pita I have ever had in South Florida. The falafel is fresh, the eggplant is crispy, and the veggies and sauces add a burst of flavor. Even better, the waffle-cut fries are the perfect pairing with the falafel.I know this place is in the food court in Aventura Mall but the restaurant is still well-kept and neat. I like their minimalistic branding with bright tones of yellow and blue that you can notice from a distance. I also like the fact that they have inverted mirrors so that you can watch them prepare your food from beginning to end.Service is quick and the staff was friendly during my last visit. This is a must-try place in my book!“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Very nice environment. A must go place.“

“Simply Outstanding! They deliver an exceptional experience! Their shawarmas are bursting with flavor, complemented by fresh veggies and creamy tahini sauce. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit spot. Their Pita is literally Mikol Halev ❤️. Highly recommended!“

“Drinks , small bites, great music !! ❤️“

“I have ordering and eating at this place for a while now, never disappointed this restaurant is very unique and one of the best experiences I have ever had. Highly recommended if you are looking for real Mediterranean -Turkish food and drinks.“

“I came in a group at around 5pm on a Tuesday. The restaurant was empty at that time, I guess because it was early.The servers were nice and attentive, but after we finished our appetizers they wiped down our table and gave us new utensils, which felt a little intrusive. Normally when I go out to eat, I don’t expect or really want servers getting in my way wiping down my table and swapping out my silverware unless I’m going to a Michelin star restaurant. Others may like this level of service though.The atmosphere was peaceful and pleasant. There were TV screens showing videos of ocean life and calming instrumental music playing. The decor was a mix between Mediterranean and nautical and pleasing to look at.The food was delicious. The tabouli salad was especially good. I got the mezze combo platter for my main course since I’m vegetarian, and the falafel and sauces were all very good as well. My only complaint about the food is that the menu was somewhat small and felt a little limited.If you like Mediterranean food, then I recommend trying this place out!Vegetarian options: They offer falafel, salad, grape leaves, and pita with tzatziki sauce, hummus, and tahini. They also offer eggplant moussaka as a starter.“

“Alex our server was absolutely phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about the food he served & passionate about it. My boyfriend and I shared an experience together while at this restaurant because of him, not just a meal. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was incomparable to anything we’ve ever had. I don’t think anything will ever top the food. Delicious!“

“I had the falafel plate. Five falafel balls, Israeli salad, hummus, and two warm pita bread. The quality and quantity of food was excellent. The service was fast and friendly and I hope to return again! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and they will call you by name to pick up your order.“

“Israeli food at its best. Abbalé offers outdoor and indoor seating options, with a well-decorated space that feels both comfortable and chic. The menu boasts a decent variety of mediterranean cuisine. We tried the crunchy cauliflower for appetizer, and the faroe salmon and the lamb kefta arayes as main courses. For dessert, we had the tahini icecream. Everything tasted delicious, and a bit on the pricey side. Definitely going back to try other items.“

“From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted like an old friend by the welcoming staff. I mentioned it was my first time, and they were genuinely thrilled, even going above and beyond by surprising me with delightful samples throughout my meal. Talk about hospitality!Now let's talk about the food—wow! Each dish showcased an impressive attention to detail, with flavors that transported me straight to the heart of Tel Aviv. From the perfectly seasoned falafel to the mouthwatering brisket, every bite was a taste sensation I won't soon forget.Thanks again to the incredible team at Vish for an unforgettable dining experience.“

“One of the falafel and kebbeh I have had. Just the amount of spices, flavorful, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pina colada was also great. Could taste the freshness of the pineapple. My kabob was excellent. Overall wonderful experience and food.“

“One of the best restaurants state-side. Highly recommend. Excellent staff and service; great food and presentation. An amazing place for family gatherings and a great date. Enjoy.“

Each dish was expertly crafted, bursting with flavor and freshness. Moreover, the manager, Iven, ensured impeccable service throughout the evening, attending to every detail with warmth and professionalism.

“Tania's Table is the epitome of home comfort food. The dishes are hearty, flavorful, and always hit the spot. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like you're eating in your own home. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for a casual lunch with friends or Friday night catering with your in-laws.Overall, Tania's Table is a must-try for anyone in search of delicious, comforting, and satisfying food. I highly recommend it!“

“The meats are a little too oily, but the spicy chicken (not spicy at all to me) is usually not bad. All other ingredients are always fresh and delicious. The guys there are also very nice and helpful. Never had any issues with food tasting amazing, perfect temperature and texture. I eat here about 2x/week. I recommend the sirloin platter and protein bowl.“

“Love the spread out dining area that this Mr.Mandolin offers, it’s perfect for conversing both inside and out. The menu, although flavorful, is fairly limited in selections so factor that into your visit. #mrmandolin #fresh #greek #atmosphere #miami #dadecounty #floridaParking: Parking is located around the complex which is located within the Vegabound Hotel“

“The view is amazing and staff are very friendly. The foods is definitely delicious.“

“Years ago I stumbled upon Izgara as a cheap and delicious option in Plantation. 4 years later and this place continues to serve incredible flavors at great prices. My favorite dish will forever be the hummus plates. You may think that there is such a thing as too much hummus, but not this hummus. It's strangely addicting. The service makes you feel like you're home. Nothing fancy but made with love. LENTIL SOUP A savory soup made with yellow lentils. $4.50 HUMMUS GRILLED LAMB Skewered lamb seasoned and grilled with sweet onions. Served with warm grilled pita. $13.95 TRIO SANDWICHES Three ( 1/2) pitas of falafel, chicken shawarma, and beef kabob. $14.95 LAMB KABOB ENTRÉE A savory ground lamb with onions, garlic, parsley, spices, and a hint of jalapeno. Served with a fresh salad. $16.95“

“Delicious Flavors and Cozy Atmosphere:My experience at KooLulu was nothing short of delightful. The flavors of the food were simply outstanding, leaving me craving more even after the last bite. Despite missing out on the mint lemonade, the regular lemonade was a refreshing treat, bursting with flavor.For lunch, I opted for the Short Rib Sandwich, and it was a culinary masterpiece. The combination of overnight short rib, tahini, chimichurri, lemon cream, grilled onion, tomato, and confit garlic nestled in a warm pita was a symphony of flavors that left me satisfied and impressed.My friend went for the Jerusalem Hummus, and it was a revelation. The homemade hummus paired perfectly with tahini, pulled kebab, grated tomato, schug, parsley, and olive oil, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that pleased the palate.The ambiance of KooLulu was cozy and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. However, parking in Surfside can be a bit challenging, as it mainly relies on street parking unless you're willing to walk from the local municipal parking lots nearby.The only drawback was that the service was a little slow, but the delicious food more than made up for it.Overall, my experience at KooLulu was exceptional. From the delectable food to the charming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem worth visiting again and again.“

“great food, last portions, really flavourful. food is fresh. the staff is really friendly and listen to your request. Prices are good for the type of food, it may look like a fast food but the food is definitely not cheap quality. Really delicious my son devour the chicken kabob platter.“

“This restaurant is known for its fresh seafood and Mediterranean flavors. All of their fish and shellfish are caught the same day and are absolutely fresh. Their grilled octopus, seafood platters, and Greek-style fish stews are especially recommended, each of which will be unforgettable!“

“Met a work friend here right before a client meeting and I was truly impressed with the level of service, food quality, atmosphere and overall experience. It was my first time eating here btw. The 2 owners were extremely friendly and greeted me with a warm smile as soon as I walked in (this never happens anywhere else I go!) The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection too. Great place to meet up, take clients to or if you want a really good vibe in Miami. I’ll be back for sure! Thanks again.“

“We went here for breakfast and everything was awesome! It's called something different now(sorry can't remember). I had the Avocado toast and my husband had the traditional Shakshuka. Both were very good with high quality ingredients and presentation. Staff and service was top notch. Would definitely go back.“

“Well I loved the whole place...but the empanadas. They are very good...and the attention of their owners is first class...I congratulate them...the arrival was a little difficult. .but if you talk to them...they come looking for you...Padelante...they are going very well...Greetings...your friend...GEORGE....THE SHARK..“

“It was really incredible! I took the spicy chicken gyro and I think it is the best gyro there. The Price/quality ratio is unbeatable in my opinion. The service was fantastic. The waiter was very smiley and took really care of us. He can also speak french to accomodate even more clients. In general, our experience there was phenomenal, the really deserve more clients.“

“Had lunch on Monday at Yum Berry cafe in Hollywood FL and had a great meal. We were seated quickly and the staff were very nice and attentive. 2 of my kids said the sushi was excellent, one daughter had a poke bowl and one son had baked ziti which he loved.My wife said her salad was fresh, plentiful and great dressing. I had a panini which was tasty and filling.All of our meals were plentiful and fresh. We would definitely eat there again.Kosher certified by ORB.Dietary restrictions: Kosher dairy certified by ORB“
