Went for a late dinner. Ordered several plates to share (chicken shawarma, pickled veggies, greek salad, tzatziki) and everything was excellent. Cocktail list had some very good options. Tzatziki with the pita bread was a star of what we ordered. Super fresh and flavorful.

The food as such is not the best. If you are looking for typical Israeli food this is not the place.The shawarma was more amba than anything else. I went and ordered a shawarma in pita and the amba killed me, I couldn't eat it... I talked to the waitress and they said they would bring me another plate and they put a lot of amba on top again. This fancy and cute... I wouldn't want to offend the waitress since I went too. But if I send you back a dish because I don't like amba, you don't go and bring me something else from the menu with more amba.At the very least, I would ask that they become acculturated with the dishes and with the Israeli and Mediterranean flavors.The truth is that the food was terrible for us.

Overall painfully disappointed. Atmosphere and ambiance of restaurant was amazing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the only redeeming factor of this restaurant. The server was very rude and short with us as we did not order any alcohol. He mumbled through water options, leaving us having to pay for still water (was never offered tap). The pita was delicious, but only came with one piece. For the amount it costs, it is not worth it. The chicken shish kebab and Greek salad were both fine, nothing special, but small in size. Overpriced and poor service ruined the night.

I’m not big on reviews however I must rave about this place. With so much competition around, this place stands out by far from exceptional food options to service and ambiance. Highly recommend.

Must try! The food is top-notch. The chef and staff were extremely accommodating. I’m not the biggest fan of tahini, they use quite a bit in the hummus. However, the texture of the hummus was the smoothest I’ve had in a long time. Very well done and will always recommend!

I wish I could give it negative stars. Worst dining experience of my entire life. Staff was beyond rude and food was an atrocity. Incredibly over priced for food that was not worth it. But even with crappy food I could bear it if the staff wasn’t so horrible. Clearly upset that we even brought children who sat quietly. We had attitude since we requested the table solely because we had our children. We gave them our phones after a long day (wasn’t even loud) and they bothered no one. Never go here unless you want to have a terrible time and horrible food.Kid-friendliness: Least kid friendly place you could go to

Motek is so goooooooood! Probably the best food we had in Miami! It’s in this hidden spot inside of a a mall filled with jewelry stores. I wasn’t expecting it to be so good. I definitely recommend all of the food we had, falafel platter with salad and hummus, arayes burger, french fries, chicken shawarma and mint tea. Great prices for the quality!

Awesome food and great service. We had 4 savory dishes to share and everything was really good. I would highlight the crispy chicken schnitzel sandwich with challah bread which had incredible flavors. Our server also recommended a shaved halvaa and ice cream dessert that is probably one of my favorite desserts I’ve ever ordered in a restaurant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special food experience in casual setting.
