“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.“

“Fantastic dinner at Abbale Aventura. Every plate was on point, but the tahini soft serve deserves its own paragraph - an amazing creation. Thank you, Samuel, for that ice cream. Huge thanks to our server Kfir, who took care of us all night. We'll be back.“

“I recently stopped by Olivio Mediterranean Cuisine at 7815 W Sunrise Blvd in Plantation, and honestly, this place left a much bigger impression on me than I expected.
Right from the beginning, the experience felt personal. We were attended by the owner himself, and he was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Great character, genuinely welcoming, and you could tell he really cares about what he’s putting on the table. He took the time to explain the dishes, the sauces, and even some of the methods and ideas behind how everything was prepared. I really appreciated that. You can tell there’s a lot of patience and thought going into the flavors.

We started with the falafel, lentil soup, pita bread, calamari, salad, and mint lemonade.
That mint lemonade was spectacular. The mint and lemon worked together perfectly. It was refreshing, bright, and lemony enough to have that punch without one flavor overpowering the other. Everything was in harmony.

The falafel was also very well done and crispy on the outside while staying soft and flavorful inside.
Then came the calamari, and this was one of the biggest surprises for me. The calamari itself was great, but that green sauce that came with it? Absolutely incredible. It had just a hint of spice, and the flavors paired with the calamari so well that it almost gave me that feeling of eating something fresh from the sea with its perfect accompanying sauce. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be that good.
The lentil soup was comforting and well made. It had that homemade quality to it — the kind of food that makes you feel like you’re sitting at someone’s home. If you’re a big fan of lentil soup, you’d probably be all over this.
The salad was a nice, refreshing addition to the beginning of the meal as well.

Then the main courses came out: the beef shawarma and the Jerusalem mixed platter.
Oof!
The beef shawarma was amazing. What I really appreciated was how something seemingly simple was executed with a lot of thought. The shawarma was flavorful, the texture was right, and the sauce that accompanied it brought everything together.

And the Jerusalem mixed platter was just as impressive. The rice, salad, and combination of meats all worked together beautifully. It was the kind of meal where every component had its place.

What stood out to me most about Olivio wasn’t just the food. It was the feeling behind it.
Trying food from another culture can feel like you’re getting a little window into someone else’s home, traditions, and way of life. That’s honestly what this experience felt like to me. I come from a pretty standard background when it comes to food and haven’t always had the opportunity to explore a lot of different flavors and cuisines.

Olivio gave me that adventure!

You can taste the thought, patience, and passion that goes into the food, and having the owner personally walk us through the dishes made the experience even better.

5/5 from me!

Olivio feels like an up and coming spot that deserves some love. If you’re someone who wants to step outside your usual food choices, explore Mediterranean flavors, and experience something made with genuine care, I highly recommend giving this place a visit.
Much love to the owner and the kitchen. Keep doing what you’re doing.“

“Best pita spot in Miami! The chicken shawarma pita and schnitzel pita are both amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always made perfectly. Great atmosphere for families or couples, friendly service, and consistently delicious food. Definitely recommend Pita Xpress!“

“Great food!!! Great service!!!“

“This was our first time eating at a Spanish restaurant. Strictly went there for the paella, which was quite good. We did have two appetizers, one being the white anchovies, and the second one was artichokes and ham. Both were very delicious. Would definitely go back again.“

“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!“

“Authentic Israeli style shawarma is one of the hardest things to find in this country. They absolutely nail it at Friendship Grill. The food can cure antisemitism. Seriously, it is made with love and delicious beyond words. Make sure to ask for the amba sauce. It is a sweet, slightly spicy sauce made from fermented mango and several spices. You will not regret it. To be honest, it is expensive. One shawarma pita with no sides is $36. But you are right in the middle of Las Olas, and it is getting harder and harder for restaurants to survive on what people think prices should be. So do not fault them for that. Your money is also going to a genuinely good cause. Look up Chabad. Their charity is legendary worldwide, and the restaurant is directly affiliated with them. Also, Spencer did a great job taking my order today. If you want something truly unique that you cannot get just anywhere, while also supporting Israel and treating yourself to an incredible meal, go to Friendship Grill. Just do not come Friday evening.“

“The wife and I had excellent Cuban sandwiches here and the view is awesome as well! Our server took great care of us, so it’s easy to see why the ratings are so high! I highly recommend it!“

“Greek Joint in Davie was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and everything we ordered was excellent. A special shoutout to Kurt, our server, who made the experience even better.

“May Allah Azzawajal bless your business with abundance and barakah. the best Mansaf we had. It was fresh, delicious and yummy. The Mansaf was well worth the price. Thank you Al-Salam Restaurant .and we will definitely return for mansaf again and again. Keep it up ??“

“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.“

“How great to have delicious authentic Israeli food! Wish they’d add a location closer to Deerfield Beach.“

“I wanted to use this platform to thank Al Natour Middle Eastern Restaurant and all of its staff for always making us feel like family. If you not yet tried their food please do so.

“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.“

“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!!“

“Little hidden place in Plantation, located on Pine Island Road in a small shopping plaza. Izgara is a Middle Eastern restaurant, with delicious food! The Hummus , is the best I have ever had! It's creamy, buttery with a little tangy kick! I had the Skewered Steak Platter with salad, fresh cut sweet potato fries ( that I kept dipping into my hummus) 😋 check this place out! P.S. they also have vegetarian options“

“Theos was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was super accommodating and friendly. Our server Marco was superb. They had me after the Greek salad with the freshest ingredients and wonderful flavor. Great food, great service and reasonable prices is the hallmark of great restaraunts. Theos is the best.“

“I’ve been coming to Ethos Greek Bistro since their grand opening, and it continues to be one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale. The food is always served to perfection fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent every single time. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate that comes out. What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. From the bussers and kitchen staff to the servers and management, everyone treats you like family. Walking into Ethos never feels like going to a restaurant —it feels like walking into your second home. If you're looking for authentic Greek food, great service, and a warm atmosphere, Ethos is a must visit. Fort Lauderdale is lucky to have a place like this.“

“At approximately 9:10 pm, a man was causing a commotion in the restaurant on the line. I couldn’t comprehend why the employees were being so polite and respectful, while he was being incredibly rude. He even took pictures and videos of the employees without their consent. Despite this unpleasant incident, I had an excellent time. The food was amazing, and the employees were incredibly kind and accommodating.“

“Been here several times and never reviewed. The restaurant has a nice ambience to it. Service has been decent, i never had any issues. They do get busy so besides the waiting nothing out of the ordinary ever stood out. Food is tasty, they have a decent wine selection. I find myself coming back.“

“This was our second time here, and it was just as good as the first! Such a hidden gem inside Pier Sixty-Six Marina & Resort. The mix of Mediterranean and Spanish dishes were amazing, with great flavors and the perfect concept for sharing different plates. Our waitress was wonderful and recommended several dishes that we really enjoyed. The dessert was amazing too!

Beautiful ambiance, excellent service, and a great spot to walk around the marina afterward or head up to the rotating bar for the views. Definitely recommend this place!!“
