“The owner is a real jerk, vaping as he prepares the food. I supposedly went in to train as a cashier, only to get overwhelmed by duties as the cashier, taking orders on the phone, packing take-outs, handling Door Dash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub, serving all the tables as a waitress for the whole place, cleaning them all up as a busperson, and bringing patio furniture outside. Good thing I didn't work at night or I'd have the added duties of also mopping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms as a janitor, and bringing in all the patio furniture. The owner calls it multi-tasking. I call it too cheap to hire more employees. It is insane to ask for so much from one person! As it is, he only pays minimum wage and all the credit card tips are kept by the owner himself! From here I have learned that I'll be leaving cash tips for wait staff in the future, since greedy owners like this feel they are entitled to keep all credit card tips. The place is a disgrace.“

“Amazing taste, fresh, this is the place to come is you want healthy flavored food, and let me get to the service, “great” the guy at front, sweetest ever, knowledgeable, it was the first time for me being in this place and I love it, no fancy, but familiar and relaxed. Loved.“

“One of my favorite spots. Food is always 100% and staff is always so friendly!
My husband and I actually bought food before a Panther's nhl game at Amerant Bank Arena. Ate shawarma during the 2nd period and everyone kept asking where we got our food from.

Definitely one of the more authentic places in FL.“

“Food and service was excellent“

“Stopped by after a trip to the Everglades to get lunch, and it was DELICIOUS! Service so incredible, and they even gave us some baklava to taste at the end. Drinks (lebonese lemonade and rose water and pistachio yogurt smoothie) were yummy, too.

Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I visited for the first time last night. Sat at the bar. Jay our Bartender was outstanding! Gave us great recommendations on the menu and for cocktails. We had a wonderful time, enjoying the food and watching the dancer perform. Would recommend to anybody.“

“This hidden gem serves some of the most delicious Mediterranian-style cuisine I have ever had. My SO and I split a Halloumi cheese appetizer, which was recommended by the chef/owner Aysar. The presentation and the taste were top-notch. Next, I ordered the mixed grill for 1, which came with 3 different kabobs (chicken, lamb, and kafta ground beef), a generous portion of rice, a roasted tomato and a small side salad. The food was delicious and the portions were huge.

The service staff are all incredibly kind and helpful. The menu accommodates dietary restrictions and has plenty of options for vegetarians and those with dairy and gluten intolerances. Chef/owner Aysar is a kind man who successfully ensures that patrons leave with their bellies full and a smile on their face.

Overall, my SO and I had an incredible experience here and for anyone that is looking for a new place to try out, look no further. We will be back to here again soon 😎“

“I have never felt so welcome. Friendly greeted at the door. Staff explained options. I went for the chicken shawarma. Side salad bar included delicious sweet pickled carrots. The pita must have been made that day, so fresh!

I hope to be back before my trip is over.“

“This place is a real gem! My wife and I went there on a Thursday night and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The chef even came to the table a few times during the meal to make sure we were updated on the status of our meal. He even explained how he prepared one of our dishes. We will definitely return to this restaurant. The paella with squid ink, anchovies and chocolate tort were phenomenal!“

“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!
