“Absolutely the best experience I've had in a long time. Every item was perfect. The Caesar salad was beautiful and delicious. The calamari was fried to perfection. The chicken lasagna was great. And the Tiramisu...there are no words to describe how amazing their homemade dessert was. It was obvious everything is made from scratch. The staff was friendly, venue beautiful and the music sealed the deal. The prices can't be beat either!“

“This is my third time in this place, just because is 45 miles away of my home, but definitely is my favorite stop on my way to Miami, very close to I95 in Hallandale Blvd. shawarma and taboule was awesome. But I love everything here is a must.!!“
“My husband land I love this restaurant . The food is delicious and the atmosphere as well. We had an special waiter and bartender Tonch that served us twice on the two occasions that we visited the restaurant. He is very personable charismatic and a great bartender. He serves the best drinks that we ever had in any restaurant. He really is a great person who delivers great customer service that's why we will keep coming back to this special restaurant who has the best Turkish food in South Florida.“
“Good food. Plentiful portions. Very casual place. Staff are friendly in an Israeli cultural environment.Update: One year later (Jan '24)Sorry to say but management has failed this place.It has a rundown feel now. The chairs are ripping. Three of five monitors that used to display menu are blacked out. It just feels worn out. Hardly anyone speaks English, which is frustrating when ordering.In addition, what used to be good value is no longer. A chicken breast dinner with a soft drink ran me $42 without a tip.Food is good but there is little reason to return. Better options elsewhere.“
“This restaurant was absolutely amazing!! We ordered the sea bass and salmon along with the bread pudding, best I’ve ever had. Can’t forget our server Eddie was very attentive and his recommendations were spot on!! Would definitely come back!!“
“Went on a busy sunday night, there was a great show, and althought the ambience was quite loud, the server took my order clearly and served me great. I ordered the Branzino and it was phenomenal, then I had a Cheesecake which was great too.Will come back “
“We came here for breakfast. We tried to find this the first morning we were here but didn't realize this is not just "Pink Love Donuts", it is also "Broken Eggs Cafe". We didn't go in because we thought it was just a donut shop. They actually have table service here and we were waited on right away. I had waffles and fresh fruit. It was very good. I really enjoyed it. Everyone liked what they ordered. I would come here again. The reason I gave this only four stars is because it was really expensive. 50 dollars for my husband and I to have breakfast but the service was good and fast.“
“I went back to motek aventura and - as always - the food and the service was amazing.Alejandro was our service and once again I got impressive with his politeness and kindness.I really appreciate his amazing service and motek great atmosphere This is what makes me come back.“
“Florie, our server was everything! There is some beautification construction going on, but she has created an outdoor space with twinkling lights, plants and outdoor seating to accommodate all their customers. It was really neat to see a restaurant making something beautiful out of a tough situation. She was so welcoming and the food was awesome! Love the sauce they give with the Greek style fries! 5 stars would recommend.“

“I sat at the bar. The owner, Jimmy was very friendly. A couple at the bar struck up a conversation. They have a full bar and lovely Greek food.Vegetarian options: Hummus, salads, etc.Kid-friendliness: The owner chatted it up with a little girl around age 7.Wheelchair accessibility: Room.arpund thw tables to maneuver.“
“This is a hidden gem! Had the most amazing authentic Mediterranean meal. I’ve been coming to Miami forever eating and waiting for tables at the big name kosher restaurants but this place was amazing and didn’t have to wait for a table. From the moment I was greeted and seated to chatting with Eden, owner/chef, on the way out this wasn’t just a meal it was an experience.I’ve been following this establishment on social media for the longest and couldn’t wait to visit and try the foods they keep posting and I was not disappointed! The meat hummus was perfectly spiced and delicious, the beef stew with couscous and soup had to be broken down to evaluate so let’s start with the soup, absolutely best soup I’ve ever had and got my would even before I added the couscous for the authentic taste. The couscous itself sifted by hand right before it was served was amazing and the texture was perfect then paired it with the most tender juiciest perfectly sliced beef stew made this dish superb and the wow feeling with each bite. By e meatballs must’ve been simmering for hours giving it that overnight color and flavor paired with the caramelized onions and rice was better then it looked. The Arraya had a perfect blend of spices and meat to pita ratio was delicious. Most authentic deserts of sphinge, Knaffa and hammsa cookie was the perfect way to end this amazing meal. Bottom line is I felt like I was eating in Eden’s home kitchen with the authentic food made with heart and soul.Would be back again and again! Can’t wait to try their full Friday menu for Shabbat take away food.“
“Yalla Motek serves the best falafel pita I have ever had in South Florida. The falafel is fresh, the eggplant is crispy, and the veggies and sauces add a burst of flavor. Even better, the waffle-cut fries are the perfect pairing with the falafel.I know this place is in the food court in Aventura Mall but the restaurant is still well-kept and neat. I like their minimalistic branding with bright tones of yellow and blue that you can notice from a distance. I also like the fact that they have inverted mirrors so that you can watch them prepare your food from beginning to end.Service is quick and the staff was friendly during my last visit. This is a must-try place in my book!“
“Even if you are not from Balkan, and want to try something new - go for it! Food is amazing. Portions are huge, everything is fresh. If you want a good quality meat, there you go! Cevapi(beef links), gourmet burger, skewers.. it's just great.“
“Have you tried the lemb shawarma yet? Trust me, it will bring you so much joy and satisfaction that words cannot fully describe it. The combination of tender lamb, flavorful spices, and soft pita bread is simply unbeatable. Make sure to give it a try!“

“Karolina was our server and we were treated likez her family. We were very happy and impressed with her kindness, being positive and offering all the goodies in your restaurant. That was amazing and we can not wait to be back . We are Romanians and we appreciate good and delicious food!Thank you , Karolina , the chef and the owners!“
“One of my favorites in Bal Harbour! Aba has such a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.The food is incredible - from the muhammara and spicy garlic dip (served with the most amazing bread) to the short rib. Just a truly amazing experience overall.“
“I had the falafel plate. Five falafel balls, Israeli salad, hummus, and two warm pita bread. The quality and quantity of food was excellent. The service was fast and friendly and I hope to return again! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and they will call you by name to pick up your order.“
“This place overcome my expectations, vegetarian kosher food next to my door in Hollywood, such a pleasant place, good service and delicious healthy food.Vegetarian options: Everything in the menuDietary restrictions: Vegetarian and kosher is just a miracleParking: Is a lot of parking“
“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.“
“One word…Amazing. Visited 5 o’clock on Thursday and there was no one in the restaurant. For such a delicious restaurant it should be packed to the brink. I got a gyro while my friend got a gyro platter. All I can say is delicious. Never had such good Mediterranean food ever in my life. Highly suggest to everyone. At the end they gave us a Hershey kiss. The waiter was so nice she had a conversation with us. Never met such a kind and caring waiter. Highly suggest.“

“Alex our server was absolutely phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about the food he served & passionate about it. My boyfriend and I shared an experience together while at this restaurant because of him, not just a meal. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was incomparable to anything we’ve ever had. I don’t think anything will ever top the food. Delicious!“
“I had dinner here to celebrate my birthday and it was wonderful! It’s beautiful and feels very elegant and luxurious. We sat on the terrace and it was a gorgeous view. Our server was attentive and made my birthday very special. He brought out several desserts for my birthday with a birthday candle in one. They don’t have a ton of vegetarian options, but the one I had was delicious. Small portions but that’s to be expected at fine dining. It was packed with flavor though and we definitely didn’t leave hungry.“
“Zelda Is so Amazing!! It was my first time trying her food and she was so patient with me while I was deciding. I got her famous salad, falafel, hummus, and side of pita. Can’t forget the grape Leaves! It was my first time trying it and it was super delicious. She’s very kind and caring and serves only the freshest food. 10/10 recommend! ❤️“
“One of the falafel and kebbeh I have had. Just the amount of spices, flavorful, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pina colada was also great. Could taste the freshness of the pineapple. My kabob was excellent. Overall wonderful experience and food.“
“Ronen is the man. Walked in with my brother and he insisted to make us a baguette “his way”. All I have to say is absolutely ridiculous. This shawarma baguette was so good I couldn’t even see straight driving home. Came all the way from Michigan! - “
“We ate dinner here. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Chicken Marsala. The burger my son in law ordered was huge! I intended to watch him attempt to eat it, but after my first bite, all my attention was on my own meal. Generous portions and Igor was the sweetest host. I would 100% eat there again-and will, when we visit Miami Beach again. My only concern is that the restaurant is a bit hard to find. It’s inside a hotel, and there’s no sign directing you to the location. A place such as this needs exposure! Thanks so much, Igor, and good luck to you and your partners.“
“I recently dined at OVO, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The combination of excellent meat and sushi options made for a truly delightful culinary journey. Each dish was expertly crafted, bursting with flavor and freshness. Moreover, the manager, Iven, ensured impeccable service throughout the evening, attending to every detail with warmth and professionalism. OVO is undoubtedly a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier dining experience.“
“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!“
“The best bartender in the city ! Always happy and in good mood . The best place to come on the weekend . Stella is exceptional and very kind. Always greet me and my family like her own family , something that you can not find everywhere. I love this place and the personnel that works here. Ararat is a must visit place, and please …… ask for Stella ???❤️“
“Prices a little high. Need som reasonably priced wines as well. Other wise food good. Octopus great. Pastas delicious. Branzino semi filet nice. Tiramisu good and not runny. Lower prices a little! Otherwise very good. Service also very good.“
“Came here for a quick bite for lunch, they brought pita bread and hummus to the table which was yummy. I then ordered a chicken souvlaki pita wrap which was really good. Our server was really polite and since I was in a rush he made sure to get everything for me quickly which I really appreciated. All around the ambiance was nice and will be coming back again.“
“I must express my gratitude without delving into specifics about the exceptional quality of the food. As a Turkish chef residing in the United States for many years, I have sampled numerous Turkish establishments in Miami and Hollywood. However, none have met the standards of authentic Turkish cuisine until I discovered this hidden gem. Finally, I have found a place where my palate is truly satisfied with the flavors of home.“
“Don’t judge this place like a book by a cover, the interior atmosphere upends any preconception on the approach.The food is ~phenomenal~The service is ~superb~The atmosphere is subtle yet livelyI’ve had food 4 times the price at half the quality here. Timo’s is divine.“
“I thoroughly enjoy dining at this restaurant located alongside the New River in Fort Lauderdale. Sitting on the dock, watching boats pass by, adds to the charm. First, I savor my cocktail, and then I indulge in the particularly delicious appetizers.Today; my spouse, my son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson joined me for another visit. Once again, we sat on the dock right by the water. However, I must emphasize that making a reservation a few days in advance is essential; otherwise, securing a table can be quite challenging.Happy hour drink specials are available every day between 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM, and except for weekends, there are happy hour food options on weekdays. You can also visit for Sunday brunch from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, although we usually come here exclusively for dinner.As always, we ordered a variety of starters to share. The Guacamole, Spicy Sautéed Shrimp, Crab Cake, Loaded Potato Dipper and Pepperoni Flatbread were especially delightful. However, I found the Steamed Mussels somewhat mediocre and not to my taste. Previously, there used to be a delicious octopus dish with a special sauce and potatoes, but unfortunately, it was absent from the current menu. When I inquired, I was informed that the chef had changed, and the dish was no longer offered. It truly was a starter worth trying, and perhaps they’ll reintroduce it after some time.Even if you’re not in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in the nearby cities. Especially if you appreciate waterfront views and enjoy watching different boats and yachts pass by while dining, it offers a truly unique and elegant waterfront dining experience. Boaters can also dock their boats here for a meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Two handicapped parking lots are available just in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of paid parking lots next to the restaurant.“
“Tania's Table is the epitome of home comfort food. The dishes are hearty, flavorful, and always hit the spot. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like you're eating in your own home. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for a casual lunch with friends or Friday night catering with your in-laws.Overall, Tania's Table is a must-try for anyone in search of delicious, comforting, and satisfying food. I highly recommend it!“
“Love the spread out dining area that this Mr.Mandolin offers, it’s perfect for conversing both inside and out. The menu, although flavorful, is fairly limited in selections so factor that into your visit. #mrmandolin #fresh #greek #atmosphere #miami #dadecounty #floridaParking: Parking is located around the complex which is located within the Vegabound Hotel“
“Years ago I stumbled upon Izgara as a cheap and delicious option in Plantation. 4 years later and this place continues to serve incredible flavors at great prices. My favorite dish will forever be the hummus plates. You may think that there is such a thing as too much hummus, but not this hummus. It's strangely addicting. The service makes you feel like you're home. Nothing fancy but made with love. LENTIL SOUP A savory soup made with yellow lentils. $4.50 HUMMUS GRILLED LAMB Skewered lamb seasoned and grilled with sweet onions. Served with warm grilled pita. $13.95 TRIO SANDWICHES Three ( 1/2) pitas of falafel, chicken shawarma, and beef kabob. $14.95 LAMB KABOB ENTRÉE A savory ground lamb with onions, garlic, parsley, spices, and a hint of jalapeno. Served with a fresh salad. $16.95“
“Met a work friend here right before a client meeting and I was truly impressed with the level of service, food quality, atmosphere and overall experience. It was my first time eating here btw. The 2 owners were extremely friendly and greeted me with a warm smile as soon as I walked in (this never happens anywhere else I go!) The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection too. Great place to meet up, take clients to or if you want a really good vibe in Miami. I’ll be back for sure! Thanks again.“
“Delicious Flavors and Cozy Atmosphere:My experience at KooLulu was nothing short of delightful. The flavors of the food were simply outstanding, leaving me craving more even after the last bite. Despite missing out on the mint lemonade, the regular lemonade was a refreshing treat, bursting with flavor.For lunch, I opted for the Short Rib Sandwich, and it was a culinary masterpiece. The combination of overnight short rib, tahini, chimichurri, lemon cream, grilled onion, tomato, and confit garlic nestled in a warm pita was a symphony of flavors that left me satisfied and impressed.My friend went for the Jerusalem Hummus, and it was a revelation. The homemade hummus paired perfectly with tahini, pulled kebab, grated tomato, schug, parsley, and olive oil, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that pleased the palate.The ambiance of KooLulu was cozy and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. However, parking in Surfside can be a bit challenging, as it mainly relies on street parking unless you're willing to walk from the local municipal parking lots nearby.The only drawback was that the service was a little slow, but the delicious food more than made up for it.Overall, my experience at KooLulu was exceptional. From the delectable food to the charming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem worth visiting again and again.“

“We went here for breakfast and everything was awesome! It's called something different now(sorry can't remember). I had the Avocado toast and my husband had the traditional Shakshuka. Both were very good with high quality ingredients and presentation. Staff and service was top notch. Would definitely go back.“
“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.“
“This restaurant is known for its fresh seafood and Mediterranean flavors. All of their fish and shellfish are caught the same day and are absolutely fresh. Their grilled octopus, seafood platters, and Greek-style fish stews are especially recommended, each of which will be unforgettable!“
“I've tried something different every single timeand I honestly cannot choose which is my favoriteitem. The bowls are AMAZING, the wraps arePHENOMENAL, even the shakes are great after aworkout! Everything is so Fresh and tastes healthyas well.“
“I recently dined at Garden Diva, and it was a delightful vegan experience. The hummus and avocado fries were exceptional, with the cilantro jalapeño hummus standing out as a personal favorite. Cherie, the owner, adds a special touch to the dining experience with her amazing hospitality. Highly recommended for vegans and non-vegans alike!“

“Wow! I just stopped by Rice Mediterranean Kitchen on 401 Las Olas Blvd. with my friends and wow, the food is absolutely tasty and very affordable and they give a very good portion for the price.World class customer service. The place is very clean. Yunior served us, he’s very nice and attentive; they’re all very nice. I highly recommend this place where you can eat with peace of mind. Go check it out! Do you want me disappointed. I will be back again.“
“Excellent Middle Eastern food! We picked up a few meals while in the area, as we live a little out of the way, and both times they were flavourful, fresh, and well prepared. I'll have to take some photos the next time we grab food there as the presentation is always so yummy.“
“I LOVE turkish food so I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing, it really made our dinner special, and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to the chef as well! My boyfriend and I enjoyed your delicious meals, so 5 STARS from me. Thank you sooo much!“
