Restaurants near Alafaya

“My daughter and husband ate here and said food was great, service was alittle slow but atmosphere and restaurant was very nice and clean. They would go here again.”

“Some coworkers and I stopped in for a drink after a company team building event. I have never been here before, but it was such a beautiful spot, and it was nice to see that they had a lounge that you could relax in instead of sitting at the bar or grabbing a table just for drinks. I opted to try their Kabooki espresso martini which was so smooth and delicious. Sometimes espresso martinis can be too bitter or too creamy like a latte instead of a cocktail, but they've nailed the formula here! I also enjoyed some of their plum sake while I was here, but it was gone before I could get a photo haha! I'd love to come back and dine here, as what I saw of their food menu looked appetizing!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Edoboy is my go to place for an amazing and unique sushi dining experience. I have celebrated bachelorettes, birthdays and solo nights here and enough cannot be said for the level of service the chefs and staff offer every single patron. The intimacy of the venue and the limit of the time and size of parties is perfect for this experience. If you want you can enjoy on your own or engage with the parties around you quite easily. The quality and preparation of the sushi is exceptional every time I visit.Try everything on the menu at least once, as I have, it will expand your sushi vocabulary. And if you have any room, do not skip the miso soup and dessert. The matcha s’more is incredible if it is still available. Also, you cannot beat the price for the experience, it’s not cheap at all, but I will dare to say it’s on the level of some Omakase experiences but at a better value.”

“We Ordered the Wonton Soup, Basil fried rice , fried Tofu and Pork Bao. Nice portions. Food was very flavorful. Bishop was our server and she was very attentive throughout. Good food. Great experience.”

“The crabcakes and fried green tomatoes were very tasty. I also had the lobster eggs Benedict which was delicious. The atmosphere was fun and the owner's husband Mr. Maxine said a funny but sweet poem for my birthday with a delicious champagne toast. I will definitely be back.”

“Leo was amazing! Me and my girl had an amazing time and his energy was A-1! Steak nachos were fire as usual. The margarita flight was so good. So glad I came. It helps that the music was perfect too.”

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."”

“Chuy was an excellent server. I loved the piña colada and the drink sampler! Loved the look of the whole restaurant and the presentation of the food and drinks.”

“Manu was a great server despite us entering in 30 mins before closing. He did not rush us and asked us if we still wanted anything else 10 minutes before they closed. Great attitude and etiquette! Thanks ”

“Great food, great atmosphere. Okonomiyaki and hamachi crudo were favorites. Chirashi in mashu box was also very good, great tasting fish. Our server Cam was awesome and gave great sake recommendations. Awesome vibe and super friendly atmosphere.”

“Our first time at KAYA will definitely not be our last. We joined the brunch waitlist when it became available online and were seated almost immediately when we arrived at the restaurant. The hostess was very personable and set us up under the shade when we requested it. Our server, Chastity, was very friendly and eager to help us with the menu and continued to be attentive (as well as the other staff) throughout our dining experience.Absolutely everything we ordered was fresh and unique for the Orlando dining scene. It was also presented beautifully. Honey soda - refreshing; pandesal rolls - addicting (seriously, what’s in that butter?); ube salukara rice pancakes - gimme a stack of 10. While the chicken tocilog was great, the bluefish dasilog was top notch and I definitely recommend you order it.So happy we finally checked out this little Filipino oasis. Cannot wait to come back for dinner (with friends). Thank you, KAYA!”

“This is my first time visiting Otto's high dive, and it was for a work meeting. We came into the place and were immediately greeted by the owner, who went over the menu, how everything works, and explained that it was more of a shared plates type of place. There was about 12 of us in our group, so we liked the idea of that! We were quickly seated (even without the full party, which was a plus), and my boss & I had a conversation while we waited for the rest of our party. Prior to my parties arrival, they set up the table with several glasses of water several bottles to pour from silverware and topic size place we thought it was really cool that they provided all the stuff prior to the party getting here so we didn't kinda have to just sit there and wait. Once everyone in the party arrive, we took a minute to look over the menu and decided to try one of their very famous meal options, the Abundancia. Which had a fitting name! This featured several carafes of daiquiris, a four tiered seafood tower, pastelitos, ropa vieja, rice and beans, cuban bread, and flan and tres leches for dessert. There was SO MUCH FOOD! And we had a great time enjoying it. The restaurant was busy, and a little crowded, but that only added to the experience. I'll be back soon!”

“I would give the experience at Soseki a 4.5/5. The service was impeccable; attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly: 5/5. The atmosphere was a 4.5/5 because I felt the music was a little too loud to converse with my partner at times. I give the food a 4.5/5 because it was locally and internationally sourced showcasing the wonderful and vibrant flavors of Central Florida and Japan; however, during one of the nigiri portions, my partner had a rather large fishbone that got caught in their throat. Otherwise, it was an exquisite experience, of which I commend the chefs and the staff, especially for the detailed seating arrangement I requested. This experience is worth the price of admission.”

“Service was great. Justin was very helpful in his recommendations. Food was awesome. Will be back.Parking: Plenty of spots available as long as it’s not the weekend.”

“My friend and I came across this restaurant on accident and we were very pleased with the experience. The food was great, the ambience was really nice, and the service was 10/10. Our server, Alan, gave great suggestions and was very attentive! Overall experience 10/10!!”

“Went to Don Julio’s for cinco de mayo & had a great time! Roxana our waitress was great & so nice. She was on top of it all & always available when needed. Great attitude & super friendly. She had a great attitude & made it a really good time to celebrate cinco de mayo.”

“Wow is all I can say.This is the best ice cream in town, without a doubt. The store is decorated really well with cutesy cat stuff everywhere, although I wouldnt care if they were selling it out in the parking lot out of the back of a van :) The owner/manager is just the friendliest guy ever, (he really cares about this business and it shows) and all the other staff are just as nice and helpful.I really can’t say enough good things about this place. I love ice cream like a fiend, and it takes a lot to stand out because there’s lots of competition. This ice cream is made right there on site, and once you try it you’ll see what I’m talking about. There’s a reason there’s a line out the door on weekends!”

“We sat in the bar area, ordered a truffle loaf. You can't miss with that. Huge cocktails selection. Everything was delicious. I went with a friend who is a former chef and still works in the food industry, it is his favorite place in Orlando.Parking: It's a super popular place. When I got there parking was that an absolute minimum and you had to do valet. I drove around the block to find free street parking.”

“Went there this morning, and I had a blast!! Ask for VIVIANA she will take good care of you and your party.She recommended the fruit waffle combo, and it was delicious.”

“So, so yummy! I got the a lil bit of everything with a side of Mac and cheese. So much food! Probably the best grits and fried chicken I've had. The wait wasn't too bad as it goes kinda fast.”

“I’m in love. This is already on my list of go-to places in Central Florida. There is so much to love about Haan Coffee: from the ultra-trendy setup, to the Uber-friendly staff (I’ve met Albert, Coby, Gabriella, Hong, Josh, Kenny, Semie, and Victoria and they are all so helpful and kind), to the bright lighting, to the hip decor, to the sweet swag, this place oozes cool vibes. Of course, the food and drinks are what keep me coming back. I’ve tried several of their drinks and my favorites (five-way tie for first place) are the cold crew crème top, SJ latte, Seoul iced Coffee, strawberry milk, and the iced yuja. There’s one made with tonic that I thought was very interesting that my friends said was their fave. Food-wise, I loved the sweet and salty garlic butter bread and the croiffles. So good. I get happy thoughts thinking about them. If I didn’t live 30 minutes away, I’d be there every day. I’m so glad for the addition of Haan to the amazing coffeehouses in the City Beautiful!”

“OMG!!!! The food was SOOOO GOOD!! Clara was our waitress and she really knows what she is doing. Very friendly and attentive with a great sense of humor. Thank you Clara!!!”

“House made, amazing service! We ordered the shaved lamb and chicken skewers and they were mouth watering. We started with a spinach pie as well, a must have. He also has Greek soda, we had the orangeade. It was so refreshing. Going to be craving this restaurant. Will definitely be back.”

“Amazing ice cream! I had a scoop of ube latte ice cream and a scoop of champorado ice cream. My husband had a scoop of ube latte and a scoop of Sampaguito ice cream. I can’t wait to go back to try more flavors. My only regret was we should’ve gotten the ice cream flight which was 6 different scoops of ice cream on a platter.Parking: Parking is located behind the building but luckily so is an entrance to the business. It was very busy but we managed to find parking.”

“We stopped in for a quick drink and just to check it out. Besides being the old folks we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Stacy was awesome! Very personable and informative. Food was surprisingly super yummy. We had the Parmesan fries…couldn’t eat them fast enough. The brunch menu looked fantastic. We’ll definitely be back to give it a try.”

“Worth the drive out of Kissimmee. Nice area to visit. The food was very tasty. Good appys, yummy pizza. The pastas we tried all tasted fresh with great flavours. Cecio e Pepe, squid ink pasta and ravioli cannot go wrong. Service was excellent.”

“Kadence is a dinning experience like no other! The food is incredible and the service is exceptional. Hands down the best sushi and meal experience I have ever had!You park in front of the unmarked black building and walk into a small bar area where you can enjoy some sake before your dinner experience.Next you move into the dining room which seats 8 guests. This is where you will enjoy the multi-course chef selected menu with the highest quality seafood. Each course is beautifully plated. You can ask the chef questions as he prepares each sashimi and explains the fish selection. Your mouth will explode with delight! We were also gifted a take home bag with breakfast for the morning!They were able to accommodate a salmon allergy for someone in our part. We communicated the allergy in advance via email.Reservations are required and they book well in advance, so plan ahead. You won't regret it!”

“Scoping out Chayote for a possible birthday dinner. Came in early for happy hour at the bar. Katie, our server, was excellent! The tuna tartare was phenomenal, so much so we ordered a second. Super bright and great texture on a crispy tostone. Loved how thin the cracker was but it held its shape after one night. These were better than many tuna dishes we have had a sushi bars. The shrimp croquettes were nice and creamy inside the crispy shell. Loved the vegan soup for several reasons. It reminded my hubby of the beef barley soup (but this is a vegan dish) his mom made when he was a little. The crispy yuca threads reminded us of our favorite Chinese dish Seafood pan fried noodles, the gave texture to the dish along with the cubes of veggies. There are a few other dishes I'd like to try but the entree prices are out of range. Going at happy hour gave us a nice intro to Chayote.”

“Excellent food—creative menu. Outstanding wait staff. Fun to watch the team in the kitchen from our bar perch. No question we’d return next trip to Orlando. If you live here you are lucky! Support your local gourmet!”

“☆☆☆☆☆ 5 Stars! What an AWESOME local ice cream place that I just tried today with my family & I highly recommend!! I have lived here for three years and haven't tried this local gem! So happy I invited my parents to come try Joury's! Atmosphere is great, owner is super friendly and informative of all the things on the menu! He made everything look so beautiful like their website photos! Not only was it beautiful, it sure was tastey! Happy to have found our new ice cream spot (and thrilled we don't have to travel 45 minutes like we normally do to get great ice cream). Thank you Joury's for your quality of service and flavors, everything was delicious!!”
