“Awesome food and atmosphere in Boca“

“Good food and very good portions“

“Food: excellent! Service: excellent! The place has a great potential. It offers a good variety of authentic Chilean 🇨🇱 dishes reasonably priced. The Pastel de Choclo was delicious. Even though the tables are next to the groceries, which is fine, the place needs some TLC, odor from kitchen was strong, shelves looked messy, etc. If good food is the only thing that matters to you, I highly recommended it!“

“Food was amazing. It was my first time trying Salmon and i made a great choice. The server was great as well, I think his name was Dany. He was very attentive. The evironment was great. The Tequeños were also delicious.

Parking: You have to park in their parking garage. The rates are not that bad. I think it’s 2$ for up to 2 hours.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing!! Loved how fresh it was. You can taste the love they put into it. Tons of gluten free options!“

“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.“

“My group had a wonderful time at ZOI Restaurant today lunch time. There were 10 of us celebrating 2 Birthday’s. From the large free parking lot to the entrance, gorgeous orchids growing on the lush trees greet you. The outdoor garden patio seating area where we dined is magical, and the seats are so plush and comfortable. It’s an unexpected botanical garden of palms, cycads, orchids, and bromeliads surrounding large lagoons. The Mediterranean /Greek food is wonderfully delicious, especially the variety of Mezzes that I had. The grilled Octopus and Lamb Chops were sensational. ZOI has developed the perfect mix of food, intimacy, and culinary expertise. Management spoiled us with pampering and great service. This place was so much fun, we didn’t want to leave.“

“Branja is a solid option!
There is not much around the area, branja and another restaurant near it.

Venue is very pretty with a great glass ceiling, there are a few small businesses around.

Restaurant is part of Miami spice.

The short rib is a great dish and special mention to the schnitzel that was amazing: crispy and juicy!“

“I have never felt so welcome. Friendly greeted at the door. Staff explained options. I went for the chicken shawarma. Side salad bar included delicious sweet pickled carrots. The pita must have been made that day, so fresh!

I hope to be back before my trip is over.“

“Had falafel pita with hummus(homemade and you can tell the difference), Turkish coffee (so strong and so good), and it’s right next to a skate park while they were playing reggae. Great experience and great service. Miss Zelda made a little dessert she let me try made out of dates, blueberries and cacao and it was so tasty! Miss Zelda was also very sweet and we had a nice conversation after I was done eating. So yeah 5 stars much deserved“

“Muy lindo lugar muy agradable muy Familiar me encanto mucho si así es Turquía wow encantada de ir a ese lindo país que me tiene enamorada de sus productos por las novelas y ahora la comida wow muy rica nunca había aprobado comida del Medio Oriente y nos encantó mucho delicioso todo satisfecha lo recomiendo mucho este lugar“

“This place impressed me with their food. Maybe becausae I was expeectign the typical 'greek joint' with the gyros and fries but no. Great menu, good service. The place is very loud and thats perhaps because the music is loud and people need to compete but you can still have a conversation. Will go back for sure.“

“When I first walked in the door i was taken back by the upscale dining room. We had a wonderful experience from appetizers to desert. Our server Nikita was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us great suggestions, enhancing our total experience. I am looking forward to returning for more delicious Russian/Armenian food. They also have a food market next door, another great find.“

“Great food and service!! The restaurant is very beautiful!! We loved it!! ❤️“

“Wow! Such delicious food and a most gracious and warm staff! Even though they were quite busy, the staff worked to get everything out in a timely manner. Nicest owner who named the restaurant after her grandma! 💕 Loved our experience! Try the arais, the couscous, the shnitzel, or the flanked hummus! Yum!!“

“Hummus is amazing! Garlic and lemon zest are on point!! The peach cobbler egg rolls are a great sweet treat and the lemonade is refreshing in the FL heat 10:10 recommend!“

“Highly recommended for upscale meal... but they do have burgers and kids menu. Located just off the beach, so from the street side of the hotel go to the second floor and follow signs to the pool then signs to the beach which will take you back down to the first floor out on the beach side. That said the food was creative and delicious. High quality for decent value for this upscale level. Waiter was excellent. There was a somewhat loud but good beach-style musical performance for half the meal so conversation was limited.“

“This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Every single thing is absolutely delicious. We had our engagement party here with our family. The Pam chicken pita wrap is unbeatable. My husband loves the stuffed peppers eat here you won’t be disappointed“

“I have gone to every single shawarma place in Hollywood, Aventura, North Miami Beach and this is easily the best shawarma. Best plate comes with more than any other place gives. No competition I would drive an hour and a half in traffic for this place.“

“Detective Steve recommended this place, and we liked it a lot! This restaurant is fantastic! The food is always fresh, tastes absolutely delicious, and the quality never disappoints. Terrific flavors and great service every time. Highly recommend!“

“Just do it!!! so much better than a recent restaurant meal that I had and while I'm visiting Fort Lauderdale I'll be probably there every night for the rest of my stay“

“Excellent food and service!!! Excellent staff and very clean premises!“

“The best Israeli food ever Everything is fresh and the staff is super friendly Their falafel Laffa is to die for“

“What a great find so close to home. Always wondered what this was about and finally got a chance to try it. Agam, was a delight. She could answer all questions was very pleasant and always very attentive. In fact, everyone who we encountered was fabulous. The Mezza Platter was a great way to start. Actually, that could have been a main dish for someone, it was such a wonderful the selection. I had the chicken thigh skewers. Tasty and tender! All other meals looked just as good. Having a full bar is great! The cheesecake with the berry coulis was one of the best cheesecakes I've had out in a long time. Nothing negative I can really say except come season I'm sure it's going to be a little more difficult to get into. Kudos to all who were in service last night. I will definitely go back here. Can't wait to try it for breakfast one day. Thank you for a very nice way to spend an evening.“

“I enjoyed it very much, a place on another level.
Amazing service, pleasant atmosphere, clean and tidy,
And most importantly, food on another level.
It's worth a try.
You shouldn't miss the personal touch.“

“I’ll be honest, the meal my partner and I first tried was not great, but when we brought it to the attention of the staff, not only did she give us a refund, but she understood the stressful day we were having and fed us something else. I never caught her name but she took care of us and honestly it made the world of difference. She even consoled us. The second meal we tried was delicious!! Thank you for the amazing service and food. You’ve been a pivoting point in our Wednesday. We will be back.“

“Highly recommend! This restaurant is so special of it's fresh,vegan, and tasty food. costumer service is great. Overall great restaurant 😊“

“I’ve tried other Mediterranean places in the area, but Rice stands out for both quality and consistency. If you’re looking for a healthy meal that still feels satisfying, this is the spot. Highly recommend to anyone in Aventura or nearby!“

“So I had the yellowtail snapper and pacceri was beyond phenomenal...I would give it 11 stars, I never post about a restaurant but this is is the best Italian restaurant I've ever dined at... there's not enough praise to be given about Timos.....**********“

“Way above your average poolside restaurant. We ordered a few dishes to share, but the ones I can't stop thinking about were the Spanish octopus, the sauce was absolutely incredible. And the shiitake mushroom dish, packed with flavor. Such a great lunch that I'll be dreaming about for a while!“

“family owned business that serves great food with excellent service at a fair price“
