“Very cute restaurant and absolutely delicious Mediterranean food.“

“I went for the first time close to home. I've always passed by but never tried it. Well it's my new go to restaurant. We had the most delicious dinner appetizers. Everything was great drinks service very welcoming will be back.❤️“

“The food is consistently high quality and prepared as ordered. The steaks are always cooked perfectly every single time. The wait staff are kind and always make your experience the best. The managers clearly lead by example as they are also friendly and always approachable. Yellow is obviously the color of choice here both inside and outside dining on the dock is wonderful. Inside Lola’s is always a treat surrounded with giant glass windows over looking the pool and the marina. If you’re out in the Pompano area, don’t miss this little gem on the Intracoastal weather by boat or by car. Don’t forget to check out the outside bar! Always a good choice. Tony M“

“Olive U Mediterranean Grill in Delray Beach is a hidden gem! The space is super clean, spacious, and inviting, with a fresh, modern atmosphere that feels a step above your typical eatery. It’s also very kid-friendly, which made dining with the family a breeze. The food? Absolutely yummy! Nothing compares to how clean, fresh, and precise the quality of their ingredients and menu choices are. Every bite tastes thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, and parking was incredibly easy—huge plus. A special thank you to General Manager Jeff, who clearly takes pride in his role. He goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and valued. From the elevated vibe to the top-notch service and delicious food, Olive U sets a new standard. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I found this place maybe 2 or so weeks ago & have been ordering nearly everyday since. I was looking for affordable Mediterranean food that was also still good. Thank God I pulled the trigger here lol. The food is amazing considering taste, quality of food/ingredients, & price. The young lady & gentleman that work the counter are also very nice. I get a pita wrap with chicken & falafel (fries on the inside because I’m a little childish) & it’s chef kiss every time!“

“We were celebrating a special event with our baby. Not only was the food delicious but every employee said hello. Danielle came over chatted with us and she gave our baby a toy Motek car! Best of all they also had bomba, which is an Israeli peanut butter food to feed our baby.“

“Yes! Great food and service!“

“I recently stopped by Olivio Mediterranean Cuisine at 7815 W Sunrise Blvd in Plantation, and honestly, this place left a much bigger impression on me than I expected.
Right from the beginning, the experience felt personal. We were attended by the owner himself, and he was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Great character, genuinely welcoming, and you could tell he really cares about what he’s putting on the table. He took the time to explain the dishes, the sauces, and even some of the methods and ideas behind how everything was prepared. I really appreciated that. You can tell there’s a lot of patience and thought going into the flavors.

We started with the falafel, lentil soup, pita bread, calamari, salad, and mint lemonade.
That mint lemonade was spectacular. The mint and lemon worked together perfectly. It was refreshing, bright, and lemony enough to have that punch without one flavor overpowering the other. Everything was in harmony.

The falafel was also very well done and crispy on the outside while staying soft and flavorful inside.
Then came the calamari, and this was one of the biggest surprises for me. The calamari itself was great, but that green sauce that came with it? Absolutely incredible. It had just a hint of spice, and the flavors paired with the calamari so well that it almost gave me that feeling of eating something fresh from the sea with its perfect accompanying sauce. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be that good.
The lentil soup was comforting and well made. It had that homemade quality to it — the kind of food that makes you feel like you’re sitting at someone’s home. If you’re a big fan of lentil soup, you’d probably be all over this.
The salad was a nice, refreshing addition to the beginning of the meal as well.

Then the main courses came out: the beef shawarma and the Jerusalem mixed platter.
Oof!
The beef shawarma was amazing. What I really appreciated was how something seemingly simple was executed with a lot of thought. The shawarma was flavorful, the texture was right, and the sauce that accompanied it brought everything together.

And the Jerusalem mixed platter was just as impressive. The rice, salad, and combination of meats all worked together beautifully. It was the kind of meal where every component had its place.

What stood out to me most about Olivio wasn’t just the food. It was the feeling behind it.
Trying food from another culture can feel like you’re getting a little window into someone else’s home, traditions, and way of life. That’s honestly what this experience felt like to me. I come from a pretty standard background when it comes to food and haven’t always had the opportunity to explore a lot of different flavors and cuisines.

Olivio gave me that adventure!

You can taste the thought, patience, and passion that goes into the food, and having the owner personally walk us through the dishes made the experience even better.

5/5 from me!

Olivio feels like an up and coming spot that deserves some love. If you’re someone who wants to step outside your usual food choices, explore Mediterranean flavors, and experience something made with genuine care, I highly recommend giving this place a visit.
Much love to the owner and the kitchen. Keep doing what you’re doing.“

“The food was delicious. The owner was extremely kind to us. She gave baklava. We bonded over being Greek and shared experiences with each other. She gave good advice to us three young men. It was overall extremely kind. The food was amazing. The service is quick and I will definitely be coming here overtime.“

“Such a delight to have discovered this place with healthy Mediterranean dishes, so close to home and so many healthy meat and vegetarian options. So clean and such beautiful decor! 😍 The staff very cordial and attentive. Made great suggestions n recommendations too. We will return regularly ❤️“

“Big Kebab fan and decided to give TKS a try since I was in the area. So happy I did.
The wrap was delicious. You can customize what you want inside. Their hummus was so good, with lemon undertones. Pita was soft and fresh. The garlic sauce was the perfect addition. 10/10 give them a try!“

“Amazing experience at Aden Mediterranean! Tugba, our server, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience from start to finish. The service was warm, attentive, and truly exceptional.

The decor is beautiful and very classy, and the food was just as impressive. I ordered the chicken shish, and it was absolutely delicious, tender, flavorful, and packed with authentic Turkish flavors.

If you love Turkish food and are looking for quality, authentic cuisine, this is definitely the place to go. We will absolutely be coming back to this location and make sure you ask for Tugba!“

“Authentic Israeli style shawarma is one of the hardest things to find in this country. They absolutely nail it at Friendship Grill. The food can cure antisemitism. Seriously, it is made with love and delicious beyond words. Make sure to ask for the amba sauce. It is a sweet, slightly spicy sauce made from fermented mango and several spices. You will not regret it. To be honest, it is expensive. One shawarma pita with no sides is $36. But you are right in the middle of Las Olas, and it is getting harder and harder for restaurants to survive on what people think prices should be. So do not fault them for that. Your money is also going to a genuinely good cause. Look up Chabad. Their charity is legendary worldwide, and the restaurant is directly affiliated with them. Also, Spencer did a great job taking my order today. If you want something truly unique that you cannot get just anywhere, while also supporting Israel and treating yourself to an incredible meal, go to Friendship Grill. Just do not come Friday evening.“

“This was our first time eating at a Spanish restaurant. Strictly went there for the paella, which was quite good. We did have two appetizers, one being the white anchovies, and the second one was artichokes and ham. Both were very delicious. Would definitely go back again.“

“The best food, the best restaurant!!!👌“

“Ethos is a favorite of ours, the good is always terrific. Today's visit was extra special due to Sasha, our wonderful server. She anticipated our needs before we asked without being intrusive. Service was quick, and always with a smile. The service is always good, bet she was special.“

“The wife and I had excellent Cuban sandwiches here and the view is awesome as well! Our server took great care of us, so it’s easy to see why the ratings are so high! I highly recommend it!“

“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.“

“Great food!!! Great service!!!“

“May Allah Azzawajal bless your business with abundance and barakah. the best Mansaf we had. It was fresh, delicious and yummy. The Mansaf was well worth the price. Thank you Al-Salam Restaurant .and we will definitely return for mansaf again and again. Keep it up ??“

“Little hidden place in Plantation, located on Pine Island Road in a small shopping plaza. Izgara is a Middle Eastern restaurant, with delicious food! The Hummus , is the best I have ever had!

“I’ve been coming to Ethos Greek Bistro since their grand opening, and it continues to be one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale. The food is always served to perfection fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent every single time. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate that comes out. What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. From the bussers and kitchen staff to the servers and management, everyone treats you like family. Walking into Ethos never feels like going to a restaurant —it feels like walking into your second home. If you're looking for authentic Greek food, great service, and a warm atmosphere, Ethos is a must visit. Fort Lauderdale is lucky to have a place like this.“

“Beiruty is a lovely spot for enjoying Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a nice variety of dishes, and the presentation makes everything feel special. The lounge adds a stylish touch, making it a great choice for dinner with friends or a casual evening out. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with a great ambiance and plenty of reasons to visit again!“

“Theos was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was super accommodating and friendly. Our server Marco was superb. They had me after the Greek salad with the freshest ingredients and wonderful flavor. Great food, great service and reasonable prices is the hallmark of great restaraunts. Theos is the best.“

“DELICIUS“

“The best! Feels like I’m dining in Barcelona!“

“Sotogrande is in a beautiful location with stunning decor. It is pretty noisy inside, but sitting on the terrace made our evening super pleasant. Everything we ate was outstanding—the fig salad, lamb, octopus, pita bread, and all of the dips/spreads were full of flavor. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect sweet finish. Plus, all the cocktails were top-notch. Can't wait to come back!“

“Very good food. This is my second time here, the guy in the front is really nice and helpful. this is the best late night spot. if you haven’t tried it yet don’t wait. I had the chicken bowl this time and still want to try more things from the menu. If i could give it more than 5 stars i would. Thank you.“

“I suggest going outside on the water it's beautiful great service very friendly very fresh“

“I walked into cava and had an amazing experience from beginning to end from the moment I walked in. I was greeted by Bev and she got our order perfect to a tea. She even recommended and reminded us about getting an account amazing experience from beginning to end. Definitely recommend.“

“Over the past month there are new owners. They go above and beyond to please all their customers. I am here at least once a week. The shawarma is excellent and the pita bread is the best around. If you have not tried their food you will not be disappointed. Stop by and support this wonderful local business.“

“The food was amazing!! The spanakopita was the best I’ve ever had, Greek salad, the dressing is fabulous, the hummus to die for and the snapper yellowtail cooked to perfection! Thank you!“

“New to Sunrise and truly excellent. Prices are competitive with all the others. They offer turkey and beef shawarma but give you a little bit extra by including an order of fries with every shawarma. They go out of their way to make sure your visit is enjoyable. Very nice people and excellent food. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope y'all will support this new local business.“

“Keeses has the most diverse and delicious menu packed into a takeout spot on the beach! The area there in Lauderdale by the Sea is packed with live music, scenic beach scenes, and amazing eats! Highly Recommended :)“

“First time here and I can’t wait to go back! I found this gem on Yelp as I was looking for a special place to celebrate a good friend’s birthday. My friend wanted something on the water that was unique. Olive & the Sea looked like the perfect fit. I reached out a week prior to see if they could accommodate a party of 10. Bernadette (events manager) was amazing and got back to me right away. The restaurant was STUNNING. Beautiful atmosphere inside and out with water views. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. Everything was very fresh and tasted great! Rachel our waitress did everything she could to make the night perfect. We had a private room that was gorgeous! I highly recommend everyone check Olive & the Sea out especially if you are looking for a special night!“

“Had food delivered from Gyroville for the first time today and had to run to leave my praises!

Portions were big! Salad was so fresh! Gyro meat was delicious, fries were so crispy!

The falafel was so crunchy and flavorful!

We got 2 gyro platters, one with regular Tzatziki and one with the spicy feta Tzatziki. Definitely going to have that again!! Wow
Looking forward to visiting in person this weekend!“

“Great food for good prices“
