Abbalé's stunning atmosphere and delicious food make it a standout in Aventura. The drinks are both visually stunning and tantalizingly tasty. However, our experience was marred by a surprising and disappointing charge to add onion on a burger - $7!!!! As frequent diners at high-end establishments, we've never encountered such a fee. While the food and ambiance shine, this unexpected charge leaves a sour taste. Not even a bag of organic onions is $7 lol 3 stars, with hopes for a more guest-friendly policy in the future.

Another overpriced spot in Miami. Even the interior is nicely decorated and outside is pleasant, food is bland, uninteresting and unsofisticated. I hope that in Tel Aviv it's spice and artful. Service is nice.

Ordered pick up for lunch via Ubereats and ordered the Chicken Shashlik. Located in a plaza near the mall so there was plenty of parking. I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and the perfect IG worthy spot to go to. I would love to try eating at the restaurant next time and there is also an outdoor area. Even though my order was to go the food was beautifully presented in the to go container. The veggies included in the dish were fresh and tasty. The chicken and hummus was delicious and not too overly salty. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the price point is rather high. My plate was $26 and the portion was pretty small so just be aware if you order from here that most dishes will cost you over $25.

We order the crispy cauliflower it was delicious , the humus, the Ruben for us was to much smokiness in the meat and the lamb kefta and for dessert the cheesecake it was delicious.The place nice and the service very good.
If you measure a location on ambiance alone, this restaurant would have 5 stars. Unfortunately, that is the only area I would rate five stars. The food, drink, and service are 2.5 at best. After having had a reservation, we waited an additional 45 min after our scheduled time (even though we checked in 15 min earlier). We figured no problem, we would order pre dinner cocktails at the bar. Service was slow and the drinks, mediocre. They were not bad, but were not worth the cost. This seemed to be the theme for the rest of the evening. When our table was finally ready, there was an argument between the bartender and hostess of whether or not this could be done. The back and forth between the staff was uncomfortable to say the least. Once sat, our waiter pressured us to put in our entire order at once which with certain kitchens I understand, but the communication was not clear, it just seemed rushed. Which you can understand our surprise when a hummus trio appetizer took over an hour to arrive. All in all the food was not worth the cost. The service did not meet average standards at best. While the location is beautiful, we would not recommend. If you try, hopefully your experience is better.

Food was mediocre. My son ordered a steak med rare and it came very rare, however he ate it anyway. The food looks more appetizing than it tasted to be honest. The service could use a lot of help. Our server was ok not great. But we paid our bill which was a large amount (we were 6 people) a couple of us were still drinking our coffee for desert and a couple were in the restroom when the hostess came over tapped on the table and said to myself and the other few at the table "we have a reservation... ok?" Basically asking us to leave. VERY RUDE! Especially after we just spent $$$$$$ and were still drinking our coffee. We were so insulted we got up and left. On our way out my husband spoke with the manager who acted like he had no idea of the situation. Not offering us a drink at the bar or anything. Not sure how the manager doesn't know that his hostess asked patrons to leave. Mind you we weren't even at our table 2 hours, it should be on them if they took a reservation and don't have a table for them, they should have figured that out. The ambience is nice it is a nice atmosphere to be honest it's just bad service.

Overrated and overpriced for what you get. The Moroccan Fish was bland and tasteless and tough. Also, they blast music like a club in there which makes the unenjoyable and doesn't match the atmosphere or area. Wouldn't go back. Go to motek instead.
FOOOD POISONING. My wife and I, and the group of friends we were with were all struck down by food poisoning 24 hours after dining here. This was the only meal we all ate as a group together. Very disappointed with this restaurant. We had heard great things about their south beach location. We emailed the restaurant to let them know and they didn't even have the decency to respond. Shocking!

Hands down my favorite place in the area. I’ve been telling all my friends about and do not miss an opportunity to dine here whether I’m in town. Top notch service, great vibe and the food is absolutely incredible!! It’s unique, not your typical Israeli food. Even their salads are incredible. And you must try their branzino, eggplant, kabob… can you tell I absolutely love this place ;)??
