“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.“

“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.“

“Food was excellent - service was great! Had been to the opening event of flagship in NYC and loved it (press event with a friend) - was in Miami for a concert and wanted to take my boyfriend there. We loved the food & the vibe of the place. Everything is prepared with great care. Service is top notch - although I would have preferred to have both our dishes be brought to the table at the same time. My boyfriend was served his about 4 - 5 minutes before my food came out & I had ordered a beat salad. We had a great time!“

“Good food and great setting!!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I always bring my friends here because we always get the best service and the most delicious food. And their desserts are my absolute favorite“

“Abbale is a favorite! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting and the service white glove.

Alice, our server for an event last night was fantastic in her approach and attention to detail!

Thank you Abbale for another wonderful evening and for hosting our important meeting“

“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!“

“One of the best restaurants in Miami..loved it“

“Asked for a cocktail with Gingerale and they gave me something else. Asked for Miami Beach water and got some pricey bottled water. They asked if we had a reservation and we did for a birthday celebration and no one said happy birthday. There was no one else in the restaurant when we arrived. Servers were not overly attentive nor did they send me understand English perfectly well. Place was nice. Gazpacho and shrimp were both good. Valet parkers did not understand English at all. Bathroom was clean. Won't rush back but we'll give them another try someday.“

“Great customer service and bartender, bartender Maria!“

“Amazing food, wonderful service, and the best vibes! The owner was incredibly hospitable and even treated us to dessert on the house. The beet hummus and mixed grill were absolutely delicious just like authentic home-cooked food. Sitting outside under the lights with a refreshing breeze and Arabic music in the background made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and genuine hospitality!“

“This is the best place that we have tried in Florida. Best wings with best barbecue and the rice is so flavorful also. You must try the pistachio cake, it’s very addicting. Customer service is amazing, staff is super polite and quick. Five stars for this place.“

The flavors are always spot-on, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. Highly recommend if you're looking for a truly satisfying meal!“

“Probably not a sit-down spot, but the food is great. The wrap was really toasty, fries inside the wrap were a nice touch, and the chicken was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic. Everything tasted fresh and filling, portions were a good size, and the pricing felt fair.“

“Had falafel pita with hummus(homemade and you can tell the difference), Turkish coffee (so strong and so good), and it’s right next to a skate park while they were playing reggae. Great experience and great service. Miss Zelda made a little dessert she let me try made out of dates, blueberries and cacao and it was so tasty! Miss Zelda was also very sweet and we had a nice conversation after I was done eating. So yeah 5 stars much deserved“

“Prices are good too. It's a restaurant you can go to for the view in a second swipe“

“We ordered the Mediterranean box and the Classic box. The food is so good and tasty! The crispy Potatoes were a highlight for me amidst all the textures.
You get so much food that it’s very filling, so worth the money.
However, disappointing that there is a 3% credit card fee that’s not explained.“

“After living in Turkïye for several years, I can say this is as authentic as you can get. Truly wonderful cuisine (recommend the greek salad & Iskander kebob) & exceptional service from Okur. Was lovely to chat for a few minutes as well about Turkïye. 5 star!“

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

“Great food. Friendly staff. Very nice environment. A must go place.“

“This place is a gem! The grilled ponzu salmon was cooked perfectly, it was flavorful without overpowering the sauce. I also tried the serrano ham croquettes, and wow, they were crispy with a delicate, salty bite. It’s a place I’ll surely return to“
