“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.“

“I really NEVER write reviews unless it's really bad, or really good. For our first time in Miami and restaurant to eat. All great things to say about this place. Everything from the ambiance, food, and service from Giuseppe, staff, down to the manager Allegra. If you're on the fence, just do it. If your experience will be the same as ours, you won't regret it.“
“One of the greatest experiences I’ve had in Miami! Everything from the staff, to the food, the belly dancer & everything in between was supreme! Would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful scenic restaurant with amazing food! Will definitely be coming back :)“
“Wonderful atmosphere here. Food excellent. Definitely interested in going back. The dressing on the fennel/romaine salad was a favorite. Drinks were great. Kabob had great flavors. Pasta was a bit extreme on the creamy/rich side but still good.“
“Amazing spot with beautiful Greek indoors and great service. Must check it out if in coral gables. I am in love with their Turkish flatbread and the babka pudding! Get a reservation because it's tough to get a table when you walk in. You can probably skip the chicken shawarma and try something else - it wasn't that flavorful.“
“Such an amazing placeThe vibe of this place is very modern and chic but doesn’t lose the authentic middle eastern touch with that being said the food was to die forThe Antellion Pottery was my fav dish 10/10Totally recommend &most Definately going back“
“I must admit I was not too thrilled about the drive to Miami from palm beach county. The drive was absolutely worth it! I lived in NYC for 30 years, and my friends growing up are Greek. I have been lucky enough to enjoy home cooking from my buddies mother's. I was transported back to my youth eating some of the most delicious creations that came from that great country. Highly recommend it's worth the drive.“

“I LOVE turkish food so I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing, it really made our dinner special, and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to the chef as well! My boyfriend and I enjoyed your delicious meals, so 5 STARS from me. Thank you sooo much!“
“Shahs of Kabob is the most amazing Persian restaurant in the world. I've tried Persian food in many cities and nothing compares to shahs of Kabob. The chicken kabob is so delicious and we order it at least once a week. A must try in Miami.“
“Exceptional dining experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The ambiance was cozy yet sophisticated, setting the perfect tone for a memorable meal. Each dish was expertly crafted, bursting with flavors that delighted our taste buds. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every need was met. Overall, a truly remarkable culinary journey that earns this restaurant a well-deserved five stars!“
“This has been one of the best Miami Spice menus around town. Everything was delicious from our two appetizers to the perfectly cooked steak and delicious rice. Our server Chris was also excellent. I highly recommend it you will not be disappointed. The value is excellent. The only complaint I have is that they charge you $3 p/p for tap water. Never experienced that before since water is regularly free. But other than that it’s a fantastic restaurant“

“Absolutely the best experience I've had in a long time. Every item was perfect. The Caesar salad was beautiful and delicious. The calamari was fried to perfection. The chicken lasagna was great. And the Tiramisu...there are no words to describe how amazing their homemade dessert was. It was obvious everything is made from scratch. The staff was friendly, venue beautiful and the music sealed the deal. The prices can't be beat either!“

“We were at a wine event in the convention center. This was a quick walk over and we decided to try it. The food was really good. My gnocchi were spot on and the other 3 diners really enjoyed their meals. The interior is super nice with a clean modern take on art deco interior using soft pinks and white; low key ambiance in the best way. Service was great and I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.“
“Lira Beirut is a good Lebanon restaurant with tasty food.The venue was a bit too loud and even-though our waitress was very attentive and helpful , she kept forgetting bringing our drinks.We will definitely visit again but ask for a quiet table this time.“
“One word, BEST! Mint Beirut served my wife, of Lebanese descent, and I the best Lebanese dinner we have ever been served-PERIOD.Please do not be thrown off by the carry out/takeout reference, there are a couple three-top tables and the quality of the food offsets the limited seating.Melissa and Melissa’s mom…THANK YOU for the BEST meal of our trip to Miami!!!Parking: There is a parking lot behind the storefront and a grocery store lot just 2-doors (100 yards) down if you miss the entrance.“
“Went for a late dinner. Ordered several plates to share (chicken shawarma, pickled veggies, greek salad, tzatziki) and everything was excellent. Cocktail list had some very good options. Tzatziki with the pita bread was a star of what we ordered. Super fresh and flavorful.“
“Amazing. The cutest place ever; the decor is so pretty we took sooo many photos. The food was really good; I was surprised. I wish I ordered more. Spicy rigatoni, calamari, and mocktails were just perfect. Though it could've been a little less expensive,. I recommend it if you're grabbing a bite in the evening with a few people or a date. Our server was the best; shoutout to you, Abby! Engagement and service were really nice; she described the different foods and helped us decide what we would like. Overall, I loved the place and will be coming back.“
“Yalla Motek serves the best falafel pita I have ever had in South Florida. The falafel is fresh, the eggplant is crispy, and the veggies and sauces add a burst of flavor. Even better, the waffle-cut fries are the perfect pairing with the falafel.I know this place is in the food court in Aventura Mall but the restaurant is still well-kept and neat. I like their minimalistic branding with bright tones of yellow and blue that you can notice from a distance. I also like the fact that they have inverted mirrors so that you can watch them prepare your food from beginning to end.Service is quick and the staff was friendly during my last visit. This is a must-try place in my book!“
“Superb authentic Mediterranean / middle eastern food, We had the filet mignon kebab, the Habibi shawarma an and the Vibe special falafel sandwich served on just-out-of-the-oven pita bread.The guys at the counter are amazing super attentive to our need, they even brought some freebies to the table. The place is a hidden gem if you like Mediterranean food“
“We stopped here for dinner last night, but didn't have reservations. The hostess offered having a drink at the bar while we waited, and we ended up just ordering food with the bartender. We are so glad we did! She was very attentive, helpful, and friendly. The food was incredible and exactly what we were hoping for. We ordered the mezza platter, a Mediterranean salad with falafel, and the lamb shish kebab. The mezza platter is more than enough for two people and would be great to share as a group. The salad was fresh, crisp, and had a light dressing. The falafel were on point, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside (highly recommend!). The lamb was good, but my husband wished he ordered it medium rare instead of medium. We ended the meal with a few Turkish coffees that were perfect for winding down the meal. If we ever come back to Miami, this will be on the top of our list!Vegetarian options: Get the falafel with the mixed meze platter, you will not regret it.“
“For my mother's 49th birthday, we decided to visit a restaurant that had been highly recommended to us. She absolutely loved it! One dish that stood out to us was the flammable lobster - it was cooked to perfection and had a unique flavor that we had never tasted before. The mac and cheese was also quite favorable and left us wanting more. The mushroom escargot was a light and dynamic appetizer that we couldn't resist. And let's not forget about the mash puree - it was so delightful, buttery and had the perfect texture that complemented the main course. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience and we highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal.“
“Beautiful spot on the water & view of Miami. This is such a relaxing place to enjoy a cocktail & catch up with friends at sunset. Our server Daria was lovely, engaging, and very attentive. The food is quite good too - especially loved the short rib and the hummus.“
“This place rocks grilled meats. If you like authentic Persian food, eat here. We came with Iranian friends who advised this was the real deal and it did not disappoint. If you get a meat platter, the bread underneath, soaked with au jus is mouthwatering. The eggplant, yogurt dishes, and everything here is yummy. Save room for dessert because they share the place with a cake bakery that is unbelievably good.“
“This restaurant is excellent— an incredible experience!! The ambiance and decor are gorgeous — you immediately feel transported to another realm. It is fancy, so dress up! Pros: Our server was attentive, which is rare in Miami these days, and gave us great recommendations. The food and cocktails were delicious and a good value, especially for Miami. The owner came up and greeted us and told us a little bit about the place. The live music was a great addition. We will definitely be back.“
“This is where upscale meets relaxed and comfortable! We happened to be walking by The Drexel and noticed people enjoying their evening on the patio. It was busy and we managed to find a few seats at the bar. As we had dinner already, we ordered drinks and asked the bar tender what might be good for dessert. He recommended the chocolate soufflé. It was the most decadent and delightful dessert! It is plenty for two people to share. Our experience was so rich we decided to reserve a table for dinner the next evening. We hope you enjoy this South Beach treasure!“
“Visited for Saturday brunch which is extremely busy but the restaurant area was not crowded.Reservations recommended especially if you want to sit outside. There is a fee for access to pool which must be bought in advance. Easy to check in with reservation and we were seated immediately. Staff was outstanding (we had Katty as our server). The menu has Mediterranean cuisine and I had the kebab which I felt was a little dry (I requested additional sauce). And we opted for bottomless Definitely recommend the cinnamon roll which is shareable. Did go to pool party but sitting outside you will see the pool area and hear the music (which was a vibe). Pricing is $$“
“We are from Mexico City , but I lived in Miami since 2003. I think mexico has the best service in general when you go out to eat . Someone recommend us Zeru here in Miami so I went with my father and his wife . We loved it ! The food was delicious, and so were the drinks . And thank you for the impecable service ! I miss that from my country ! And here I feel home .“
“"Exceptional experience at this restaurant! The Kebabs were a culinary delight – perfectly grilled and bursting with authentic flavors. The warm hospitality added an extra layer of charm to our dining, making it a memorable visit. Highly recommended for those seeking an exquisite taste of Mediterranean cuisine!"“
“One of my favorites in Bal Harbour! Aba has such a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.The food is incredible - from the muhammara and spicy garlic dip (served with the most amazing bread) to the short rib. Just a truly amazing experience overall.“
“Big thank you to Brian Barakat for introducing me to TUR Kitchen last weekend. It was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Impeccable service, great appetizers for sharing, incredible food - a real find! Every thing was delicious. I highly recommend it!“
“My wife and I found this place on Yelp. Took a chance and we were absolutely blown away! Every flavor complimented each other, and in combinations neither of us were used to. Our server Carlos was very knowledgable and helped us pick excellent dishes and drinks. The Tomahawk steak was out of this world, as well as the Tiramisu… smoked along with home-made ice cream. Delicious and the presentation was amazing. Will definitely come back here next time we’re in town!“
“I had lunch at aura this morning and it definitely exceeded my expectations, we had Sarah as a server and she provided us with charming and great service. The NY steak is a Must try!!! We had a great time since we sat down till we left the restaurant. Definitely a spot you wanna try on your visit in south beach. Food was delicious and the convenience provided by the location just on the middle of the Lincoln shops is just a 10 out of 10. Thank you and definitely coming back.“
“Delicious food, the menu is full of amazing options which made choosing very hard so worth a repeat visit to try more. Our server was welcoming and helpful. We were given plenty of time to browse the menu and offered help if we needed it. Food came in really good time.“
“First time at Sospiro! Will definitely come back. Loved the artichokes, the zucchini carpaccio and the nougat semifreddo for dessert. Ordered the french flight and rose flight, wine selection was impressive and tasty. Discovered that Loire valley wines can actually be delicious!“
“Was staying in the design district and wanted a place within walking distance. Was pleasantly surprised with Nude Pita. The owner was very friendly and helped me navigate the menu. I liked that they had vegan and non vegan options. I settled on a chicken wrap with feta that was very good. My wife got the same and was happy as well.“
“Ordered pick up for lunch via Ubereats and ordered the Chicken Shashlik. Located in a plaza near the mall so there was plenty of parking. I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and the perfect IG worthy spot to go to. I would love to try eating at the restaurant next time and there is also an outdoor area. Even though my order was to go the food was beautifully presented in the to go container. The veggies included in the dish were fresh and tasty. The chicken and hummus was delicious and not too overly salty. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the price point is rather high. My plate was $26 and the portion was pretty small so just be aware if you order from here that most dishes will cost you over $25.“
“Listen!!!!!!!!!I am Middle Eastern, so I know what I’m talking about ? This is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve ever been to. The portions are big, the prices are so low, and the food is amazing. I got the Lebanese delight and the chicken Shawarma bowl. All of this was $25.“
“From the appetizers to desserts the food is excellent with high quality and freshness. Portions are big and the price is very reasonable.Service is outstanding, they are very attentive to your needs and always going beyond to make you feel comfortable.Love the atmosphere, Greek music is playing but not loud so you are able to talk to others comfortably.It’s a very clean restaurant .. I recommend it anytime .. I have gone there for lunch and dinner ..Parking: In front of the restaurant“
“One word…Amazing. Visited 5 o’clock on Thursday and there was no one in the restaurant. For such a delicious restaurant it should be packed to the brink. I got a gyro while my friend got a gyro platter. All I can say is delicious. Never had such good Mediterranean food ever in my life. Highly suggest to everyone. At the end they gave us a Hershey kiss. The waiter was so nice she had a conversation with us. Never met such a kind and caring waiter. Highly suggest.“
“On vacation in Miami I found this wonderful Spanish food restaurant and that's where I went. As always, without knowing if the food is really like in Spain (where I'm from), and to my pleasant surprise, I ate a seafood paella and tumaca bread on the side, and it was still spectacular. Very good paella! 200% recommended. And the service was wonderful, lovely staff. I recommend to everyone who wants to try real, good Spanish food. If I return to Miami, I will definitely repeat!“
“La comida es excelente los platos de seafood muy recomendables los tragos 5 puntos y los postres estaban secos viejos sin sabor no los recomiendo no tienen helado pero apesar de eso disfrutamos un viernes desde las 7 hasta las 11 en familia con camareros 100% atentos fue un placer“
“I had dinner here to celebrate my birthday and it was wonderful! It’s beautiful and feels very elegant and luxurious. We sat on the terrace and it was a gorgeous view. Our server was attentive and made my birthday very special. He brought out several desserts for my birthday with a birthday candle in one. They don’t have a ton of vegetarian options, but the one I had was delicious. Small portions but that’s to be expected at fine dining. It was packed with flavor though and we definitely didn’t leave hungry.“
