“Excellent food but to expensive“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing food and service with a beautiful ambience and live music! Definitely a must visit when in Doral/Miami!“

“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.

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 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.“

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

“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 first time in this place, I fell in love with this food. The waitress Susie gave me excellent service. I tried the lentil soup 10/10 and the mix grill I’ll be back for sure and finally, don’t forget to try the banana crepe with strawberry“

“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!“

“Tried Pita Express and it exceeded expectations. My son and nephew recommended it, and after trying it, I see why they like it so much.

They do something you don’t see often—they have both lamb and turkey shawarma on separate spits. I went with the lamb, and it was excellent—juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly.

The pita really stands out. It’s softer, fluffier, and feels homemade, which makes a big difference compared to the usual wraps.

They also serve complimentary fries on the side, which is a nice added touch.

Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. If you enjoy shawarma, this place is worth trying.“

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

“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!“

They were so kind, attentive, and the service was excellent! A special thank you to Evren Cetin and Jay Gonzalez who were the GM and Manager on Duty respectively! They went above and beyond to make my daughter's event perfect in every way! The food was delicious and all of our guests commented on both the food and service!

“. The food and the service was outstanding. I shared the Turkish platter with which consisted of fresh vegetables, cucumbers, celery, broccoli, carrots, with Romain, lettuce and baba ghanoush, a tomato, cilantro, cucumbers, onions, vinaigrette, and and I had grilled Seabass with steak fries and truffle butter. With the olive oil chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream for dessert. Located in the design District of Miami off of NE. 2nd Ave. The staff and servers are very friendly and welcoming. It’s a lovely place to have a meal. Thank you so much.“
