“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Jass Kitchen! Wine, food, decor, coffee and music were all amazing. Hope to visit again when we’re in the area!“

“Awful. Rude staff, poor service, overpriced and pretty sure they discriminate racially. Nice views and design does not make up for it.“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“We had a great time at Abbale Televivian Kitchen. From our entertaining server Ash to the delicious food we couldn't have asked for a better night.“

“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.“

“That pita bread is better than pizza. Wood burning oven. Best traditional Greek dishes. Oh wait l, you want 45 oz of steak. Sliced … but bone with meat also on plate. Out of this taste bud world. Don’t think too much, eat and enjoy. Matias also is as good it gets taking care of us tonight. No more to say, I’m having dessert now.“

“Had an amazing late lunch at News Cafe. It was just the thing to start off my Miami trip! Had the Chicken Paillard which came in a very generous portion with roasted potatoes and an arugula salad and it was super tasty and fresh. Shout out to my server Paula who was friendly, attentive, and personable!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I always bring my friends here because we always get the best service and the most delicious food. And their desserts are my absolute favorite“

“Fantastic AuthenticTurkish food and great service. Specially mix grill and meze's are great....
Additionally, eating & drinking a meal in front of the fireplace in the garden is a wonderful feeling.
Congratulations 👍“

“One of the best restaurants in Miami..loved it“

“My wife and I had a wonderful lunch here and were truly impressed. The food was vibrant, beautifully presented, and full of authentic Mediterranean flavor.

The tahini and hummus topped with steak were exceptional, the cauliflower outstanding, and both the shish kafta and chicken were cooked flawlessly and packed with flavor. We paired our meal with the Galil Mountain Winery “Alon 2023” from Upper Galilee, which complemented the dishes beautifully.

The service was excellent and attentive throughout. A refined yet warm experience — we will definitely be back“

“Good food and great setting!!“

“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.

If you book via the reservation app, restaurant is what gives you space under the nice glass roof.

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!“

“Best Shawarma in Florida. HANDS DOWN!!“

“I visited Spitfire Turkish Halal Food with my family and had a great experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely be coming back again!“

“I recently stopped by SHA Wynwood with my wife. We both went with the Risotto Funghi Porcini with lamb, and overall—this dish delivered.

The risotto was rich, creamy, and packed with deep umami flavor from the porcini mushrooms. Every bite felt well-balanced and comforting without being heavy. The lamb paired nicely with the dish and complemented the earthiness of the risotto beautifully.

If I had to nitpick, the lamb came out a bit closer to medium-well than medium, which slightly missed the mark for me. That said, it was still flavorful and didn’t take away from the overall experience.

The vibe, the food quality, and the execution make SHA Wynwood a spot I’d absolutely recommend—especially if you’re into elevated comfort dishes with bold flavors.“

“We had the most amazing meal there. The staff were attentive and knew the menu - gave us suggestions of what to order . The bar tender made a wonderful sangria which to me was a plus. The food was prepared to perfection and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend this great find!“

“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.“

“Tucked into the Oceanside of our favorite Boutique Hotel in NOBE, this place will WOW you with their food, atmosphere and view. The staff is phenomenal, service is excellent. We’ve had most everything on the menu over the years, most recently the Ahi Tartar, Greek Salad, Grape Arugula Salad, Kalypso Burger and pizzas (Margarita and Mushroom), Lamb Shank and Short Rib, everything was perfectly prepared and presented. It’s accessible from the beach walk or Collin’s Ave. you will not be disappointed with a visit to this fine establishment. Achilles and his staff including Kenny and Niko will treat you like family.“

“Everything was wonderful. We have been to this restaurant many times, and the Turkish food is always authentic and delicious. The servers are very kind and welcoming. The Turkish gentleman and the Mexican girl who were serving us were both amazing. I’m Romancito’s mommy, and the Mexican girl who speaks Spanish was always so sweet and kind to my baby.

Overall, it’s a great atmosphere with great food and very kind staff. Thank you to all of you!“

“This restaurant is really a solid 4½ stars. The keftah and chicken tawouk were phenomenal—perfectly spiced and cooked. The falafel was clearly made fresh to order, but unfortunately it was undercooked. While the outside was crispy, the inside was still raw, which affected the overall flavor. It wasn’t a huge issue, but it was noticeable and resulted in a slightly bitter after taste.
The chicken shawarma was cooked perfectly, but it lacked flavor entirely. There was also no sauce to make up for it, so my guest ended up not eating it.
That said, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was memorable. The restaurant is beautifully themed and truly feels like an authentic Lebanese dining experience. Overall, they’ve done a great job—but for the price, there’s room for a bit more consistency and refinement.“

“My husband and I were just in Miami for a getaway and ran across this restaurant near our hotel. They serve fresh delicious counter service Mediterranean food at a fabulous price!! We will definitely go back next time we're in the area.“

“The food is delicious and so fresh. They have a couple of tables inside to sit at. The place is very clean and the service is excellent. I can highly recommend Mint Beirut!“

“ate at the IL Bolognese restaurant for two days and was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
On the first night, the linguine seafood pasta was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and I finished the whole plate. On the second day, I tried the lobster ravioli, which was rich and delicious but had a very large portion that was hard to finish. I also had tiramisu, which was creamy and satisfying.
Overall, the food is above average for a hotel restaurant, especially the seafood dishes, but portions are quite big.“

“It was so spectacular! I ate there twice in 3 days!“

“We were a party of 6 (7 if you count the dog) and enjoyed all items ordered; healthy and great quality produce.“

“Great customer service and bartender, bartender Maria!“

“Yann the Manager went above and beyond to get us a table inside. The ambiance outside was beautiful and perfect but too hot for my toddler. Atmosphere indoors was perfect and reminded me of our trip to Paris.
Food was so delicious and perfect! Will be coming back next time in Miami 😍“

“Zelda’s Kitchen is hands-down one of the best Mediterranean/Turkish food experiences in South Florida. Every dish — from the homemade mezze to the tender kebabs and crispy zucchini fritters — tastes incredibly fresh and full of authentic flavor. You can feel the love and tradition Zelda puts into her cooking.

On top of that, the convenience is unbeatable. Zelda’s Kitchen is available on Uber Eats and other major delivery platforms, so getting this level of quality delivered to your door is a total game-changer. Whether you’re ordering for yourself, hosting friends, or looking for top-tier catering, Zelda’s delivers every time.

If you’re searching for real Mediterranean flavor, generous portions, and consistently amazing service, this is the spot. A true must-try.“

“I really enjoyed Motek. Overall, everything was great: the food was delicious, the hummus was excellent, the service was very good, and I really liked the concept and atmosphere of the restaurant.

The only downside was the lamb shawarma. I expected the meat to be very tender and soft, but unfortunately it was a bit overcooked and dry. That is the reason I am giving 4 stars.

Other than that, the restaurant is truly wonderful, and I had a great experience overall.“

“I’ve been going to Taula when two young chefs opened it. Loved their concept of fresh meats cooked on vertical spits! You had the choice of yummy options but their best were crispy potatoes! Then ownership changed but fortunately still kept recipes going for the options and sauces, thank goodness.

However, when I went today, the options like Eggplant wasn’t available for the Mediterranean box but I wasn’t told. I looked at the list of options for Mediterranean box on the revolving screen and that’s how I discovered it. And list was different from printed menu copy. So, just be aware.

They still give you tons of everything as well as chicken. Chicken and other meats were precooked in a heated container. There’s enough for two people for $17, not bad for Miami!“

“Great experience at Amalia Café in Miami Beach ☀️

Martin is always kind and attentive — it’s a real pleasure to be welcomed by him every morning. The interior décor is soft and relaxing, and the terrace on Collins Avenue is perfect for enjoying the Miami sunshine.

I truly enjoyed having breakfast here every morning during my stay. Highly recommended!“

“Prices are good too. It's a restaurant you can go to for the view in a second swipe“

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

“I was there two weeks ago Excellent service and food!! Five stars“

“I stopped by Maison Ostrow and had a really enjoyable experience. The place has a charming, slightly upscale vibe that feels both cozy and refined. I ordered a main dish, and it was beautifully prepared—flavorful, balanced, and made with care. The presentation was a nice touch as well. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit smooth and pleasant. It’s a great spot for a relaxed yet quality meal, and I’d definitely come back.“

“Krsto was our server, he was absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing and he gave us excellent recommendations. He was very attentive and professional. Also- a bonus- he was SO FUNNY he had us laughing all night. , it was beautiful and relaxing. We even came back twice because it was so such a good experience . We sat outside on the patio“

“Alvyn, our server IS the best. !!! Wonderful suggestions topped with fabulous service. The food is as good as the service.“

“Second visit to FUGATO. And for a second time we were overwhelmed by the quality of the food offered by this restaurant.
Service is second to none and all that comets together in a quiet friendly atmosphere for the site.
Great all around“

“The food here is incredible! The best we have had since arriving in America 7 days ago. It is well worth the price, the flavour and quality is amazing. I was prepared to come back again for dinner the same day I had lunch here it’s that good. The staff are very friendly and service is great.“
