40 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Sunny Isles Beach

“When I first walked in the door i was taken back by the upscale dining room. We had a wonderful experience from appetizers to desert. Our server Nikita was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us great suggestions, enhancing our total experience. I am looking forward to returning for more delicious Russian/Armenian food. They also have a food market next door, another great find.“

“Highly recommended for upscale meal... but they do have burgers and kids menu. Located just off the beach, so from the street side of the hotel go to the second floor and follow signs to the pool then signs to the beach which will take you back down to the first floor out on the beach side. That said the food was creative and delicious. High quality for decent value for this upscale level. Waiter was excellent. There was a somewhat loud but good beach-style musical performance for half the meal so conversation was limited.“

“Amazing“

“So I had the yellowtail snapper and pacceri was beyond phenomenal...I would give it 11 stars, I never post about a restaurant but this is is the best Italian restaurant I've ever dined at... there's not enough praise to be given about Timos.....**********“

“Every dish was a masterpiece! The perfect blend of spices, herbs, and freshness in every bite. This place knows how to balance flavors to perfection“

“The food here is absolutely amazing!! Loved how fresh it was. You can taste the love they put into it. Tons of gluten free options!“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“This is the best take on Israeli food I've tried in the US so far, and that says a lot... Everything was delicious, especially the hummus & pita (which are so hard to get right!) and the Jerusalem bagel. Please open Motek in the bay area!“

“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.“

“I like this place a lot. The food is served impeccably. Large menu of authentic Turkish food. Reasonable prices and the most important very nice owners (Tuba’s brother). The tea they serve is black tea from Sri Lanka (it has some bergamot hint ). Its a true killer. I highly recommend them.“

“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!“

“Very warm and inviting service. Very generous with their sides, veggies, sauces (I even asked for extra veggies TO GO, to enjoy with my leftovers and they weren’t annoyed at all) for no extra charge. The food was so fresh and delicious (I had the chicken shawarma). Oh and the French fries are definitely freshly cut! Haven’t had such good fries since making some myself! (Excuse the less than appetizing photograph)“

“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!“

“Dad loves the schawarma. Different textures with a little heat. Definitely recommend.“

“I loved this food truck! Zelda is super friendly and passionate about preparing and serving the most authentic, high quality food. I felt her love in every bite and I will definitely be returning. The environment was also really unique and chill.

Vegetarian options: All of my food was vegetarian! I had the fried falafel, stuffed flatbread with spinach and cheese, a Simit T. Bagel, and Baklava.“

“It was a lovely evening, I’m looking forward to the next one ☝️💃🌹💋“

“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!“

“I was there two weeks ago Excellent service and food!! Five stars“

“Really beautiful restaurant on the water, with amazing service and delicious food! Highly recommend this place for a date night or girls night! The hummus with sweetbreads a d the pulled beef gyoza were incredible. They make their own pistachio ice cream and we had that with the baklava, may be the best parve dessert I’ve ever had!“

“Very fun restaurant with beautiful Turkish Tiffany lamps as decor. On weekends they have a very lovely singer who sings in 7-10 different languages to your requests! Service is wonderful. All the waitresses are pretty and sweet Abandon parking and easy cozy atmosphere! You can’t go wrong!“

“One of the best restaurants state-side. Highly recommend. Excellent staff and service; great food and presentation. An amazing place for family gatherings and a great date. Enjoy.“

“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.“

“Increíble food and service the best“

“Delicious Flavors and Cozy Atmosphere:My experience at KooLulu was nothing short of delightful. The flavors of the food were simply outstanding, leaving me craving more even after the last bite. Despite missing out on the mint lemonade, the regular lemonade was a refreshing treat, bursting with flavor.For lunch, I opted for the Short Rib Sandwich, and it was a culinary masterpiece. The combination of overnight short rib, tahini, chimichurri, lemon cream, grilled onion, tomato, and confit garlic nestled in a warm pita was a symphony of flavors that left me satisfied and impressed.My friend went for the Jerusalem Hummus, and it was a revelation. The homemade hummus paired perfectly with tahini, pulled kebab, grated tomato, schug, parsley, and olive oil, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that pleased the palate.The ambiance of KooLulu was cozy and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. However, parking in Surfside can be a bit challenging, as it mainly relies on street parking unless you're willing to walk from the local municipal parking lots nearby.The only drawback was that the service was a little slow, but the delicious food more than made up for it.Overall, my experience at KooLulu was exceptional. From the delectable food to the charming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem worth visiting again and again.“

“Best restaurant in South Florida“

“My wife and I strolled in after shopping to this unique spot in Davie and I must say it was a nice surprise, I would call it a hidden gem. The hostess was accommodating as she led us to the bar. The bartender I’m sorry I forgot her name was super friendly and her drinks were top notch! We just stopped in for a drink and appetizers but they were amazing. She kept the talks fun and entertaining everything was extremely pleasant. I definite stop by when in the area type of place. You will not be disappointed. Trust me, in fact don’t trust me just go. It’s awesome! I wish I took more pictures but I was having a great time! And the bread was incredible!“
