50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Miami

“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!“

“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“

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

“Celebrated my birthday lunch yesterday at Alladains with a group of friends also celebrating birthdays. Food was delicious and service was exceptional. We had an amazing afternoon!! Looking forward to enjoying the belly dance show next month.“

“Guys… WOWOW I seriously cannot rave about this place enough. My fiancé came here earlier this week and brought me today, and I was beyond impressed.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the owner with such a kind, warm welcome—it immediately set the tone. The service was incredibly fast, especially considering everything is made fresh, and then the food… absolutely unreal.

We ordered the mixed grilled combo with labna and pita, plus beef and cheese samosas on the side. Every single bite was packed with flavor, but our absolute favorites were the kafta and kibbeh—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The hummus was unbelievably creamy and rich—hands down the best hummus we’ve ever had, no question.

This is one of those places you keep thinking about long after you leave. I already can’t wait to go back. I’m not usually someone who becomes a “regular,” but this spot is 100% going to be my new go-to.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Rise Mediterranean in Brickell is easily one of my favorite spots in Miami. The moment you walk in, you feel the warm, stylish Mediterranean vibe — clean, modern, and classy. The staff is always friendly and quick, and the service feels genuinely professional.

The food is incredible: fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and perfect presentation. Their grilled meats, hummus, and seafood dishes are all top-tier. Portions are generous and worth the price. I also love that the atmosphere works for everything — a casual lunch, a date, or even a business meeting.

Located right in Brickell, it’s convenient and has that upscale Miami energy without feeling pretentious. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for high-quality Mediterranean food in a beautiful setting“

“Excellent food, service and in few days a week music…..the owner “Luis” so pleasant and runs his place very profesional. Very nice place to have dinner, celebrate a birthday or any occasion, it is a family and friends place. One of our family favorite!“

“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!“

“Friendly service, great place for a date“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“Just happened to find this little gem on our way to the hotel late at night — and I’m so glad we did!

I honestly can’t believe how good the food is. We’ve been to Greece many times because we love authentic Greek cuisine, and this is the first time in North America I’ve tasted something truly comparable.

Absolutely amazing food for unbelievable prices.“

“Amazing mediterranean food! Very fresh and good portions. The owner Danny and his team are great people, going above and beyond for their customers by providing excellent service. I hardly ever see an owner actively participate in the ground floor operations, assuring quality of service. Hats off to this establishment. 10/10 will come back when in the area!“

“Increíble food and service the best“

“LOVE IT!“

“Amazing food and the owner is just as amazing. Very friendly, he stopped what he was doing to get me and my girl a table and chairs even though I said it's OK because we were taking it to go and he was very busy. But he insisted and also gave us bottled water (which he didn't charge for) as well. This man's customer service skills should be on a video for all in the service industry to learn from. His ingredients were all fresh and freshly chopped, he gave us samples of the meat we were eating and it was delicious and well seasoned. The food presentation was amazing and very neat. I had the lamb gyro and it was hands down the best one I've ever had in my life. If you nearby and you like gyros you will be robbing yourself if you done try this. Oh and he gave me a discount because I came to him the first night and he was out of gryos.. i wasn't mad though because it was late like right before he closed. This man apologized and told me if I come back he would take care of me and he really did so I gave him double what he ask for because I'm not looking for a handout but to be that nice and cook food that good this man is the truth.. I don't usually write whole books for reviews but it was just that good“

“I recently had my daughter's wedding shower at Boulud Sud Miami. I cannot say enough about how amazing the entire staff was before, during, and after our event. 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!

“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.“

“. 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.“

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

“Pesto’s cafe & Grill. The food was exquisite. They serve up different culinary choices, an amazing family atmosphere and excellent service the way a restaurant should be. The fact that the owners are the ones that are hands on, says it all! Everything is amazing… especially the spinach pie, fresh clam chowder, fresh humus, the shwarma bowl are spectacular. Highly recommend, you will go back again and again.“

“Loved the place, excellent service, food was delish“

“Amazing Experience“

“First time coming and what an amazing experience! The ambiance is lovely and Alexa was so welcoming! She gave a quick overview of the menu with so many vegan options. The falafel was so delicious, not dry like they usually are. The seitan pita was the best. Can’t wait to come back! Definitely recommend if in the area!“
