“Our first time here and had gyros and a flourless chocolate cake! They were fantastic. Our server Leo was super nice and courteous. Loved him, too. Maitre’D and host were very professional. Fun atmosphere. We’ll be coming back here again and again!“

“I dined in at Ethos recently and it was amazing, all thanks to Joey. His warm welcome and recommendation of the lamb chops made the night unforgettable—I've been in love ever since. I highly recommend Ethos for delicious food and top-notch service. Huge shoutout to Joey for making our evening fantastic!“

“food was delicious, ambience amazing and Gloria was above and beyond, We had to sit outside due to the last minute reservation but Gloria made sure we were take care of even though we were the only ones outside. Went in side for the belly dancer performance and was not disappointed. Highly recommend for the food and the service!“

“Justice to its Name!!!! One of the best falafel I've ever tried. They were crispy and just so good. I had the shawarma platters chicken, meat and lamb so tender and juicy. Very nicely presented. We tried lemon ginger lemonade...just the right kick to it. AMAZING!! Then dessert !! It was suggested to try Pistachio cake. It is mouth melting. Light and yet sweet. Just freshly done and tiny rose petals garnished this deliriously homemade cake. Our experience wouldn't be so amazing if it wouldn't be because our host. This young guy guide us in this journey. HE represents what customer care is all about. Cheers of joy when you find a place you cant wait to recommend. Yes!!!“

“Delicious healthy food. Have had delivery many times. Visited their restaurant once , nice ambiance, very friendly employees. Their portions are very generous as well. I bought 4 gift certificates on sale at Costco. Great deal. I will be a regular!!“

“Everything was as expected, except I didn't pay attention prices and was slightly sticker shocked for 2 people nearly $270 with tip. Only 1 glass of wine, one shared entree, and a side. However, I don't know any other good places in Ft Lauderdale which can be synonymous with trash. Get away from Las Olas and come here. You won't regret it. Nothing much down there anyway. As of time of writing, parking $24 after a $6 discount from validation. Maybe worth it to street park and walk if it's nice out. 8oz wine pour $26 also so for what it's worth, might be better to bring a bottle and do the corkage or skip it and focus on the food. Barnzini and potato side were both phenomenal. One criticism is that once they pick out all of the bones, it's almost cold. Warm still, but I guess that was a factor to mention a $100+ fish. Watch out for schemes. The wine by the glass said $16 but the 8oz pour was $26. Just pay attention unlike me. I wouldn't recommend getting 2 desserts. One was enough and neither were phenomenal. Perfectly prepared, but not what I'd come back for alone.Tbh I was impressed, but you can do as well at authentic in thr SoFla area. Overall 4 Seasons Restaurants are usually able to be relied on for quality, so if you just don't want to mess around because you have a night or so, you can't lose here.“

“Atmosphere has a nice chill vibe. Service was on point and management/owners make you feel like family. I would tell you about the food but you would be better served if you went in and tried it yourselves... you will not be disappointed.“

“Absolutely stellar experience! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left. We were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire meal. Parking is the issue and feels annoying only til you taste the food. Yes, The food truly steals the show and that’s not just because it’s Halal/Kosher. Be patient for your order because each dish is not only cooked fresh when ordered but also crafted with care and creativity, showcasing the culinary prowess of these talented female entrepreneurs. From the vibrant flavors to the beautiful presentation, every bite was a delight. It's inspiring to see such passion and talent come together in one place. Kudos to the team at Chickeatah for creating something truly special. Can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing creations!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This restaurant could be easily missed based on its location but I'm happy I found it. The staff is always friendly. The food is always fresh. And the service is always quick. Simple yet tasty options make for a wonderful experience and a perfect choice for a quick bite.“

“First time and can’t wait to come back. Our waiter was a nice young man who helped us with the menu. We ordered a bunch of hot appetizers and made a meal of it. Would be a great choice for a group too as there are so many small dishes to share. Try it!“

“Visited for the first time last night with Chef Joseph and his group.The food and service were really spectacular. I wasn't sure about sitting outside but the evening ended up being really nice, great cool breeze and cool time with friends.The robust flavor of the food and outdoor event was really nice. Can I tell you I loved the chicken and beef kabobs with rice...oh so good. The hummus and cucumber sauce... #chefskisses“

“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.“

“What a hidden gem of a place! The food was excellent, fresh and delicious, good portion sizes too. Great for take out or probably catering too. My son loved the beef kabob. Highly recommend this family run, local restaurant! We were pleasantly surprised to find it.“

“Amazing place . Fast service . Clean . Good and many salad choices to add to ur pita shawarma / falafel / steak wrap . The food is sooo good. I got the rib eye steak in a pita . Pretty good pricing and well worth getting food here . It tastes israeli and fresh.“

“The lamb chops were spectacular. The Greek Salad,...yeah. It was nicely chilled; delicious... perfect.Peter, our server was as nice as could be; knowledgeable of the menu and dishes and attentive even while slammed.Prices are very reasonable, (much more so than in Atlanta).And the patio was perfect on a cool, breezy April evening!Highly recommend Greek Islands Taverna.“

“Wow. Like being transported back to Israel. The food was so fresh and delicious. The pita was unbelievable. Hummus and falafel amazing too. Nice fresh salad with lots of different veggies.First time picking food up from here but won’t be the last!“

“Love the service! Love the food!! Love the music! I’ll be back with the rest of my family soon! The restaurant is clean, comfortable and easy to find. Food is delicious and affordable. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that can appreciate Mediterranean 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! - “

“Had dinner her with my mom last week, from the welcome greeting to the food, everything the staff does is with care.We started with the burrata and beet salad special. I had the Salmon Alla Vodka and mom had the Flounder special with artichokes and sundried tomatoes. Good portions, cooked perfectly and delicious! Will be back for homemade pasta!Limited parking in the back.“

“Over the top is an understatement, All you taste is fresh food. This is a positive atmosphere, you can tell that Chef Nikol is focused on making your experience one that will make you want to come back. I order the Very Berry Greek Salad with Chicken!!!! insanely delicious and my husband had a Chicken Souvlaki Pita with Fries.. For Desert we ordered a Bougasta Pastry!!! Please try this flaky pastry was to die for. We are hooked and can't wait to try everything else on the menu. Saturday nights they have live music. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was my first time getting food from here, i called in a order and Melissa recommended i get the chicken shawarma plate n a side of mixed veggies n i must say this plate was nothing short of amazing, great flavor nice size portion i recommend trying it.“

“Last night was my first and definitely not last time in this place, we were 5 hungry adults, everything we ate was just great ?‍?Prices are totally reasonable and worth every penny .The whole staff were so nice, at the end we didn't order a dessert (since we were all completely full ?) and the owner offered us free desserts !!Thank you Edna your the best.“

“This is family owned business that takes pride in what they do. All orders are made from scratch and with love. The ingredients are so fresh. No canned goods. The food is incredibly tasty and authentic that it almost feels like you're eating in Lebanon. Great find for all palates. Friendly service. Must check it out! You'll thank me later.“

“Had both lunch and evening tapas on a different evening. The food was outstanding. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I had a cuban sandwich for lunch and it was one of the best I've ever had. The restaurant itself has a very european (Spanish) vibe).“

“We stopped here for dinner with our family of 5 (kids range from age 11 to 5 months old), and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. My kids loved the pita bread and roasted red pepper butter they brought to the table at the start of the meal. The spanikopita and baked feta were delicious appetizers. My husband and I shared the whole fish and the gyro platter. The fish was cooked perfectly and the gyro meat was some of the best I've ever had. It was thicker and less greasy than your typical gyro meat. My sons split their burger from the regular menu as the two kids' meal options didn't appeal to them (buttered noodles or chicken tenders). They loved the burger and the fries were exceptionally good. Splitting the burger entree was a good call because the burger was MASSIVE and was more than enough food for them. We also brought home and entire takeout box filled with extra fries that I'm sure my kids will enjoy crisped back up in the oven. :) The ambience was nice - like upscale casual. Could be a great date night spot or place to meet up with friends, but in our case worked well for our family dinner. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 only because the initial vibe walking in felt a bit stale (the staff warmed up quickly though) and, although not a big deal, one of the servers had some confusion twice bringing the wrong food to our table.“

“We decided to try this restaurant because the menu looked really good. When we got there it was a special limited menu - Moroccan Night. I was not sure my husband could find something to eat. We ordered the Branzino and grilled shrimp and Lamb chops. It was extremely delicious and flavorful. We sat outside on the inter-coastal. It was a great way to end our stay in Florida.“

“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.“

“Awesome!!!! Went there with friends to break fast for Ramadan!!! The food was scrumptious, the atmosphere was extremely friendly with staff and other patrons! Love everything about it!!!Parking: In plaza with restaurantKid-friendliness: VeryWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This restaurant has a large selection of vegetarian and vegan options. I had the fava bean salad. So many other dishes to order, so little time! The beans were marinated in a dressing and was the perfect quantity. So delicious, with warm pita bread served. Our server wasn’t delight. They offer indoor and outdoor seating.“

“best Arab market ❤️❤️❤️ always clean, food always fresh, owners always smiling, may God keep them up and running and successful ameenKid-friendliness: The owners are always smiling and friendly to kids and parents alike! Many times they have given my kids lollipops or other chocolates“

“Delicious food with amazing service. Everything is made from scratch and made with love! The owner, Christina, is there front and center showing pride in her business and greeting every person. Such a lovely place that will definitely be a regular spot for me!“

“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.“

“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“

“Absolutely delicious freshly baked pita (for only $2) and cheap Arabic groceries that are easily 20-50% more at other Arabic stores. There are niche Arabic products here including frozen and canned foods. The prices are also on the items unlike some other stores. The owner here is also so sweet - we were here for the first time and they gave us some free goodies. Very highly recommend this place, especially for the pita.“

“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!“

“Places is amazing. Food is delicious chef Mickey is fantastic. He comes to the table always smiling happy place. Great place to take friends. You'll be proud of the place you take him to the food is just to die for and it's very inexpensive. Compared to most restaurants.“

“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.“

“Happened upon this place after catching a movie at AMC across the street. Food was tasty, the portions were generous, and the service was attentive. Chicken and Lamb pitas were very good, and my son liked the chicken souvlaki platter. Would recommend!“
