“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!“

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

“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.“

“Tremendamente bueno! De verdad recomendable!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Very nice environment. A must go place.“

“Mint Beirut is a gem! The food is absolutely amazing—authentic Lebanese flavors that instantly made it my favorite spot. The owner was incredibly kind and even let me try their Kibe and lentils, which were beyond delicious! The portions are generous, and everything we ordered was fantastic. I’m already craving more and can’t wait to come back. Thank you.“

“Had a great meal at Sha Wynwood. We had the velvet octopus for an appetizer (yum!) and everyone's entrees were delicious. Also a trustworthy place because I happened to forget my card and they had it for me the next day! Thank you, Sha!“

“I’m visiting Miami and have eaten at Takesh Grill for lunch and dinner. The salads are very flavorful and the beef Shawarma was very good. They have nice espresso drinks and Turkish coffee, which was great because the surrounding area is lacking good coffee. I enjoyed the food, had wonderful service and the ambiance was very nice and clean.“

“Wow, wow, wow! Chicken shawarma was spectacular! I’ve finally had good shawarma that was not dry, nor tasteless. The sauce that was put in was evenly proportioned! I’ll definitely be back.

Also please do not change your ingredients/formula once you guys get big! What I tasted tonight was just perfect! I’m being so serious. Only thing I added was habanero hot sauce on top for each bite because I like a bit of heat! Thank you for a great dinner ??.“

“Simple Mediterranean food that was good for your belly. A lot of the places you eat out at you leave feeling like crap. It here my body and belly were happy. The lady who got us our food showed us what there was, gave good recommendations and was quick to get us our food. Great ambient as well.“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“Along with Great hospitality comes the greatest food you could ever possibly imagine in your deepest and darkest of dreams. This food is not just life-changing. It will bring peace amongst the entire Mediterranean philosophy. We shall continue to support Zelda’s kitchen through war and peace, and continued love through our own journey, we considered life.“

“First time coming here and let me tell you.. this place did NOT disappoint! The kabob in my pita was so tender and flavorful. The cucumber salad inside the pita made the perfect crunch and touch of freshness. The fries were so freshly made and had the perfect crisp, I just wish I had ketchup. But it was barely missed because I also tried the red sauce and it was the perfect spice for my fries. But nothing topped the purple cabbage salad. It was my absolute favorite thing I tried and I’d seriously come back just for it! All in all, the food was amazing and extraordinary. However, the service was exceptional! I was in awe at the way these people treated me. They were the nicest most welcoming, helpful, patient individuals and I can’t believe there was so much amazing people in one small building. They treated me like royalty and I left with a warm heart and a smile on my face. Oh and a full belly. Trust me when I say, you don’t want to miss this spot!“

“Fabulous mediterranean cuisine.....the young lady was so sweet and helpful.
Unassuming fast food restaurant. We ordered one platter with chickpea falafel and beef lamb Shwarma and another with beef Kofta, fries and Greek salad (yellow rice came accidentally), fresh pita chips eith jalapeno hummus. Platters were very generously sized and I think 4 people could comfortably eat. I know I couldn't finish my dish on my own as great as it was. The falafel was so good it had a few whole chickpeas in it! Such a fun surprise instead of all batter. Shwarma and kofta was perfectly seasoned and so tender, my knife went thru the kofta like butta!
Visit them for lunch younwill leave more than satisfied! And even more when you realize you have dinner all done too!“

“If you like middle eastern cuisine don’t miss Lire Beirut restaurant. It’s the very very best in Miami without any doubt. The staff and service are friendly quick and top notch. The fattouch dressing is beyond good, so is absolutely everything on the menu. One you try Lire you will be a regular!!!!“

“If you want to try really delicious and authentic Arabic food you have to come to this place, everything is super fresh made to order, I have been to many Arabic food restaurants in the area.
City, and without a doubt this one I think has become my favorite, we love this place we will repeat 100% recommended.

“La Martola is a beautiful new Italian restaurant in the ever growing area of Buena Vista. It's a large restaurant with lots of inside and outdoor dining. The food is great - lots of options for appetizers and main courses and a long list of pizzas. We had the burrata salad with soft creamy cheese sprinkled with pistachios, the tagliolini with lemon and the Classico (or margherita) pizza which was very tasty and delicious. There is a nice wine list with lots of wines by the glass. A great experience. We sat outside and the live music was a little loud - perhaps acoustic, rather than electronic music would be better in the space. But a delightful delicious meal that warrants a return visit.“

“Really wanted to give 5 star but can’t. We ordered kabob platter where kabob was damn GOOD and it comes with rice that was actually dry and did not come with any salad or sauce. I will give the kabob 10/10 and it is more delicious, tender and flavorful than any other Mediterranean restaurant’s..!!!“

“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.“

“We had an outstanding dinner with the finest service. Everything about this place is excellent. I highly recommend!“

“I love coming to this place because the food is amazing and the service is so lovely. I recently placed an order but was having issues with the website and was unable to process anything. I called the location and the manger Maria was so sweet and kind. She helped me resolve my issue. There is no place like rice where you receive the love and warmth when you walk in. The food here is always fresh and amazingly delicious. Thank you Maria for your kindness. There is truly no words to describe how amazing you are for assisting me today. Will always be coming back here.“

“¿Eres de esas personas que aman probar cosas nuevas? ¿Te encanta descubrir sabores de otros países, abrir tu paladar a experiencias diferentes y disfrutar de comida rica, auténtica y especial? Entonces te tengo que recomendar este lugar. Yo estuve ahí celebrando mi cumpleaños y de verdad… ¡qué experiencia! La atención, la comida, el ambiente… todo fue delicioso. Cada plato era una explosión de sabores y se notaba el cariño en cada detalle. Si te gusta salirte de lo típico y dejarte sorprender, este lugar te va a encantar. ¡Tienes que ir!“

“No photos need. Great ambience as you walk into the dinning room, extremely friendly staff all around. Our server, Arun, was phenomenal from start to finish. He could have served me fast food and I would have left happy. But luckily the food lived up to his level of service. Started with some octopus that was plated very well (loved the sliced large portions that showed the beautiful inside next to the tentacles) our 1 year old loved it.
Entrees- Who orders non locally caught salmon at a restaurant in 2024 (my daughter does) and expects to it blow you away? Well it did, the plating was on point and colorful but not silly, the skin was perfectly crispy and the filet itself literally melted in your mouth. She crushed it. Wifey had the vegetable gnocchi, I was only able to steal 2 before it was gone… I had the wagyu ny, could have held more seasoning but its a wagyu so I can’t complain at all let the meat talk for itself. Wanted MR came more rare but again it’s a damn wagyu, eat it raw and you are straight… chocolate fondant for dessert delivered a nice sweet ending for the fam. Sweet & spicy margarita was absolute fire 10/10. Would drink 5 if the kids were home. Manger on duty was very sweet and helpful and just insured we had a very nice night. We are on a day trip and live an hour and a half away and felt like we were on a long foreign vaca (all the other tables speaking other languages helped too). Being in the industry it’s nice to go out and actually enjoy every aspect of your experience. Our second time at this hotel and it’s becoming one of our favorites in town and tonight’s dinner had a big influence.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Probably the best restaurant around, with great fresh tasty healthy food, simple but very pleasant setup, and superb service, had great times a couple of times here.
We love the legendary Greek salad, the Seabass and lamb chops were great as well.“

“Excelente sabor Mediterranean, servicio al cliente y lugar muy acogedor.“

“I got a great service from the lady she let me try different samples of sauces and was so kind about it all the food is amazing and the dessert goes so well after the food. She gave us extra sauce without having to ask and I love that!!!!! definitely coming back.
Edit: This wonderful lady gave us some delicious yellow rice on the house. I am mesmerized by her service if could rate 10 stars I would!“

“Amazing Experience“

“Great food! They are really accurate and reliable when catering food, even for large group. Food is delicious and reasonably priced.“

“Great Hospitality, food, drinks and ambiance!“

“I had a spicy chicken bowl. The only thing the portions are small when it comes to preparing it The employees act like they're saving the food for three more days. Also my Son had the falafel pita. Spicy pita chips was good but need to be warm.“

“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!!“

“Im come from belgium at this food truck at miami The guys at this restaurant is very good the food is good and he try to cook quick is not easy because he have a problem electricity today he refuse a cash tips is very a good man
See you soon“

“We wanted something to go and it was perfect! I'm vegan and my family is not, and they had options for all of us. Food is fresh and good. Service is fast. I really appreciate the amount of options they had. I tried the pita melt and I love it but It was too much for me, next time I'll be sharing the combo.“

“This unique restaurant made me feel not only comfortable, but well served as if I were a queen. From the environment, to the dancers, and even our waiters. We truly felt like Jasmine from the movie Aladdin. The food was EXOTIC, delicious, and one of a kind. After sipping on a while bottle of red wine I opted for the espresso for dessert and let me tell you.... best coffee I have ever tasted in South Florida. Can't thank the warming staff for keeping this place one of my number one restaurants in Florida! Oh and this was at the Hallandale location, can't imagine the Miami spot. ALSO, please sit outdoors! It's picture heaven for any content creator. Thanks again Jaffa! Keep shinning on.“

“I have not had schwarma like this since Israel, and i finally found the hidden gem i have been looking for! I wanted true Israel schwarma and this is it! The BEST lamb/veal schwarma you can find in Florida, period! Nice meeting the owner today the first time i went, the prices are great, they hook it up and the service was on point, they actually really are passionate and care about your experience, absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Its a drive for me but i will make it at least once a week! Right next to Hardrock casino, you all have to go try it, nothing like it, anywhere in SoFlo!“

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