50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near South Miami

“I generally liked my experience at this place. The restaurant is modern, nicely designed, and very clean. The menu isn’t big, but offers a variety of options. I decided to try the Chicken Kabob Plate, which includes chicken (all white meat), white rice, Greek salad, a slice of pita bread, a scoop of hummus, and some sauces on the side.
I was able to modify the Greek salad by removing some vegetables, which was a plus for me, and I liked the result. The salad was very nice, and all the vegetables and feta cheese were fresh. However, the slice of pita bread was too small and a bit dry. The rice was also a little dry; I expected it to be softer and more flavorful, especially with the restaurant’s name focusing on rice. But the chicken kabob was super tasty and delicious! I also liked the sauces; they gave the chicken a nice flavor.
I paid $15.99 for this meal, and I think this price is fair because the plate was large and filled with food. I couldn’t finish all the rice even though it was my first meal of the day and I was very hungry. So, keep in mind the size of the Chicken Kabob Plate and don’t order extra food to avoid wasting it. A small bottle of sparkling mineral water cost $2.99. Unfortunately, the beverage options at the restaurant were very limited, and they should add more soft drinks to the menu.
The guy who took my order was very nice, sweet, and helpful with advice about the food. The service was fast; I got my food about 8 minutes after ordering, but I must point out that the restaurant was pretty empty when I arrived.
The restaurant’s location is great, just across the street from the South Miami Metro Station and a few blocks from Sunset Place Shopping Mall.
My first experience at this restaurant was smooth and mostly pleasant, so I’m sure I will come back soon to try something different from the menu.“

“The best Lebanese food in town!!!“

“Love their food and amazing service. The meat was so juicy and well marinated. Every bite is truly satisfying. Highly recommended!“

“We had lunch at this restaurant, and compared to other places I've dined, the grilled octopus was enormous. The cuisine was also excellent and the amounts were generous. This cafe gets a ten because the rates were very affordable and the bread and deserves were amazing. It will become your go-to seafood restaurant!“

“My friend and I stumbled upon this place and we are so happy we did! We had the chicken shawarma sandwiches and hummus. That is the best chicken shawarma sandwich I’ve ever had!! I crave it weekly. I’ve gone back several times and everyone I bring loves it also. Definitely check it out!“

“la comida, la musica y la buena energia de quienes te atienden“

“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.“

“Wow, Sha Wynwood blew me away! The vibe is super chill with live music that just sets the mood right. I had the Asian fusion dishes, and they were bursting with flavor! The staff was friendly and made me feel at home. Can't wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Mint Beirut is a gem! The food is absolutely amazing—authentic Lebanese flavors that instantly made it my favorite spot. The owner was incredibly kind and even let me try their Kibe and lentils, which were beyond delicious! The portions are generous, and everything we ordered was fantastic. I’m already craving more and can’t wait to come back. Thank you.“

“If you like middle eastern cuisine don’t miss Lire Beirut restaurant. It’s the very very best in Miami without any doubt. The staff and service are friendly quick and top notch. The fattouch dressing is beyond good, so is absolutely everything on the menu. One you try Lire you will be a regular!!!!“

“Honest ingredients, great value. Erika is great!
EDIT: Using Uber Eats I usually order the 2x1 with an extra scoop of protein, and the extra scoop of protein was missing the last 4 times. I know it’s not inside the bowl itself because I count calories and I measure my food, and also there has been a few times that you guys got it right and came in a separate container“

“I had the pleasure of dining at La Martola last Thursday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The evening was made even more special by the addition of live music, which created a lively yet relaxing atmosphere that perfectly complemented the meal.

The highlight of my visit was their Portonovo Pizza. It was absolutely divine—perfectly cooked with a crispy crust, fresh and flavorful toppings, and a delightful balance of textures and flavors. It’s easily one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.

The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The service was prompt and professional, and the restaurant maintained a clean and inviting environment.

The live music added a wonderful touch, making the evening feel both celebratory and relaxing without being overwhelming. The combination of excellent food, welcoming ambiance, and entertainment made for a truly memorable night.

I highly recommend La Martola, whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out. I’ll definitely be returning—especially for another Portonovo Pizza!“

“Some of the best food you can get on the west Kendall area“

“Kada European Food or Giro 305 Are you looking for something new to try? First time in Kada European Food and YOU have to go! It’s a little cute spot with amazing food. The lamb Giro is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The greek salad was so fresh and tasty. The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Fogato for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that truly stood out. The service was exceptional, very attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, perfect for a family outing. We really enjoyed spending quality time together, and I can't wait to return for another meal. Highly recommend by me that I owned a restaurant before and I know what really good for is.“

“Really wanted to give 5 star but can’t. We ordered kabob platter where kabob was damn GOOD and it comes with rice that was actually dry and did not come with any salad or sauce. I will give the kabob 10/10 and it is more delicious, tender and flavorful than any other Mediterranean restaurant’s..!!!“

“Horrible!!!
Is not running towards Daily Bread
It's a Spectacular Old Traditional Lebanese food. We ate in and took a wonderful selection of prepackaged foods for home.

I ordered the grilled chicken wrap with tabouleh, and my mouth melted with "Absolute Pleasure" perfect blend of lemon, hummus, pickled turnips, and salad.

Go, sit, eat any of 1/2 dozen sandwiches, platters, etc. I promise you will experience a most excellent culinary moment.“

“Increíble food and service the best“

“Rice Mediterranean is always my go to spot when I want something delicious, filling and healthy. The food is always fresh. And the sumac sauce is light yet flavorful. The portions are big so I always save half for later. My boyfriend tried it for the first time and although he’s a picky eater, he gave it a 10/10.“

“My wife and I are big fans of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, and we recently discovered Happea’s as a delivery option. We tried it for the first time and were truly impressed! The hummus, pita, and chicken wrap were standouts — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we’re looking forward to ordering again. Highly recommend!“

“We placed a catering order to celebrate two birthdays in our office and it was a great experience from beginning to end. The order was ready when we went to pick it up. The store manager was very kind and helped us load the large order into our car and the whole staff was friendly and helpful. The food was even better, we received praise from the whole office group for choosing them and we have a variety of pallets and tastes, from your healthiest eater to the pickiest eater, everyone enjoyed the perfectly cooked basmati rice with the delicious sumac dressing. The tenderloin kabobs were a hit and so were the other two protein choices, the shredded chicken and the shredded beef. The sides were just as good, the greek salad had tons of yummy feta cheese and we had a very generous portion of hummus and pita bread. It was a smash hit overall and I'm looking forward to catering from them again. Highly recommend“

“It’s the best restaurant ever �������������“

“Sadly, there was nothing left for me to take a photo of!!! Alexis was the best server I've encountered in my 15years of living in FL. He was attentive and knowledgeable as well as personable!
The branzino was a 10/10 and so were the ham croquettes . Appetizers are included with the entree that already comes with a side! What a deal! The waterfront view outside was absolutely beautiful as well. A big thank you to Carlos for having us! I will return in my next trip to Miami!“

“Bahia at the Four Seasons Miami stands as a culinary gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience that tantalizes the senses. From the moment you step into this oasis, the warm and attentive service sets a tone of unparalleled hospitality. The journey begins with a delightful array of dips, featuring the creamiest hummus and a rich, smoky babaganoush, each bursting with authentic flavors. The mezze, particularly the falafel, are crafted to perfection, offering a crisp exterior and a tender, flavorful heart that transports you to the streets of the Middle East. As for the main courses, the swordfish kebab and gambas al forno are masterpieces. The swordfish, grilled to a sublime tenderness, harmonizes beautifully with its Mediterranean-inspired marinade. The gambas al forno are a revelation, with each shrimp perfectly cooked and infused with a blend of spices that elevates this dish to new heights. The crescendo of this culinary symphony is the dessert – a heavenly baklava paired with lemon ice cream. The baklava, with its layers of flaky pastry, nuts, and honey, provides a textural contrast to the refreshing and tangy lemon ice cream, culminating in a dance of sweet and citrus on the palate. The ambiance of Bahia complements its cuisine flawlessly, blending elegance with a relaxed Mediterranean charm. Every detail, from the decor to the lighting, creates an environment that enhances the overall dining experience. Bahia is not just a restaurant; it is a destination where every dish tells a story, each bite is a celebration, and the service is as memorable as the food. A visit to Bahia at the Four Seasons Miami is an indulgence for the soul and a feast for the senses.“

“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.“

“This is the best Arabic food that I have ever tried here in Miami. It was delicious. Definitely order again.The best Arabic food I have ever eaten here in Miami. We ordered several things to try and everything was super good. Typical Arabic food, just like at home. Excellent hummus, one of the best I've ever eaten.“

“We found this in the idine program and stopped by on our walk back from lunch at the Ale House to the Intercontinental where we stayed. I had to order from a machine which didn't respond immediately to my tapping so I ended up leaving a larger tip than I would have done otherwise since I didn't want to cancel order and start over!!! 18% tip for no service other than their doing their job making gyros but nothing more was too much! I had Traditional Pita for $10.49 w olive oil, Romaine lettuce, spinach, and Jalapeno Tzatziki. It was tasty but a little too spicy for me but my fault for my choices! Other half had BYO Pita for $10.49 w Tzatziki, Romaine lettuce, tomato, olives, tomato cucumber salad, and Grilled Chicken. His was better. We got no drinks since we weren't eating there. It was good for a take away order for later, but if I returned, I would be more careful with spicy choices as well as the ordering machine!“

“Excelente atención y muy atentos. Nos sentimos muy gratas y seguras. Muchas gracias.“

“Absolutely delicious, excellent service and fabulous ambiance!!!!!“
