“What a great find! I have visited this restaurant with my girlfriend twice and both time it has been phenomenal. Our first time was for dinner. We were in the mood for some Turkish food and happened to find this on a quick search on google. The music, the service, the food. All were fantastic. Second time was for Sunday Brunch and we had the unlimited Turkish breakfast. Wow! The shear amount and taste was incredible. Some of the best breakfast I have ever had. We ordered some additional dishes like the Menemen and what a great choice it was! You will definitely not leave hungry! I feel bad for forgetting her name and having thrown out my receipt but the waitress there was such a great host and we will definitely be going back!“
“Well what can I say ! cannot go wrong with this place ! It’s gem ! As brunch and mimosa is our all time favorite! The options and presentation is top notch. Drinks are fabulous. Hot and cold mezzas are a bomb ! Nothing we ate disappointed us . The vibe and place on a nice summer morning is all this place is about . Definitely go with families . It’s pretty busy and the best part is valet ! The salmon skewers are a must ! Vegetarian sandwich is bomb !The only thing I expected a bit more flavor is chicken shawarma! I liked it better in other places ! Rest all the dishes covered it up .Must visit !❤️❤️“

“Food was fantastic. we decided to sit at the bar. Sébastien, our bar tender, recommended the appetizer sampler where we got to choose four items. we chose, the muramuah, kibbeleh, cheese rolls and falafel. All were fabulous. the pita bread was homemade and hot. We decided to share the lamb tangeen. The lamb was extremely soft, tender and full of flavor. Last been at least the Martinez that Sebastian made were terrific and worth the cost. Can't wait to come back again.“
“The food was delicious and the service was very good. My only complaint is that the music was very loud. On the other hand, I love dogs but I don't think this restaurant has an adequate space to be pet friendly. The table next to us had a dog that cried all night and the irresponsables parents did nothing. The atmosphere became stressful and we ate fast in order to leave, we were not happy to see the dog's suffering.“
“WOW, restaurant itself was EXTRAORDINARY!Mandolin Aegean Bistro has been one of my favorite Greek/Mediterranean cuisine with the blend of incredible and delicious food, wine and overall ambiance! Better to visit between October - January as the weather in Miami it's much more tolerant for their outdoor area.I've visit a few times with friends and family & every time l come and try something new in the menu it surprises me with how perfect all their flavors are.Reminds me of my trip to Greece.Menu is small but flavorful that's for sure! I've ordered their Hummus (very different in a really good way!), Mussels with White Wine (small quantity but delicious overall plus fresh), Grilled Octopus (order it every time I visit - perfectly cooked all the time!), Fried Calamari with their Almond Tarator Dip (too die for!), Köfte (a little too overcook but flavor was divine), Chicken Kebab with Orzo Pilaf (didn't like it) and Maroulosalata (loved it), Sea Bass (always perfectly cooked and delicious with simple flavors! & last but not least always always have to have their Pistachio Baklava (if you've tried it, you know what I'm talking about!)They have an extensive wine, beer and cocktail list, many of which are also sourced from Greece. Ask for guidance on what pairs well, employees are very knowledgeable.I look forward to dining in more often and enjoying of everything they have to offer.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Vegetarian options: Some itemsDietary restrictions: Upon request if availableParking: It’s by Miami Design District; good luck!Kid-friendliness: If your child is not a picky eater“
“Took my girlfriend for a birthday dinner. First time visit and it will not be the last. Service was impeccable and friendly. The waitress and my girlfriend bonded over the fact that they both were wearing jewelry from a famous Colombian designer. Our food was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We sat outside among the beautiful flora and coral rock pond as the weather was ideal. And the cat Zoi came to our table and welcomed us. And what would a Mediterranean restaurant be without a sword and fire dancer. Their attention to detail in everything they do will undoubtedly keep them in business for a long time. I highly recommend Zoi because they actually cater to the customer!“

“Excellent food and service! We went here for an authentic italian pasta and were not disappointed. You can "make" your own pasta by selecting the pasta, sauce, and ingredients. We tried one pink sauce and one alfredo. The calamari was a great appetizer.“
“This was the best Lebanese restaurant I have ever eaten at!!! Highly recommended!!! Everything we ate was amazing and delicious, and the service was impeccable and we felt at home here. They even sang my mom Happy Birthday with the dessert and played a recording throughout the restaurant without us even asking! This is my go to favorite restaurant and can’t wait to come back for my birthday!!! Off the charts 5-Star rating!“
“This is a hidden gem! Had the most amazing authentic Mediterranean meal. I’ve been coming to Miami forever eating and waiting for tables at the big name kosher restaurants but this place was amazing and didn’t have to wait for a table. From the moment I was greeted and seated to chatting with Eden, owner/chef, on the way out this wasn’t just a meal it was an experience.I’ve been following this establishment on social media for the longest and couldn’t wait to visit and try the foods they keep posting and I was not disappointed! The meat hummus was perfectly spiced and delicious, the beef stew with couscous and soup had to be broken down to evaluate so let’s start with the soup, absolutely best soup I’ve ever had and got my would even before I added the couscous for the authentic taste. The couscous itself sifted by hand right before it was served was amazing and the texture was perfect then paired it with the most tender juiciest perfectly sliced beef stew made this dish superb and the wow feeling with each bite. By e meatballs must’ve been simmering for hours giving it that overnight color and flavor paired with the caramelized onions and rice was better then it looked. The Arraya had a perfect blend of spices and meat to pita ratio was delicious. Most authentic deserts of sphinge, Knaffa and hammsa cookie was the perfect way to end this amazing meal. Bottom line is I felt like I was eating in Eden’s home kitchen with the authentic food made with heart and soul.Would be back again and again! Can’t wait to try their full Friday menu for Shabbat take away food.“
“Yalla Motek, located inside Aventura Mall, offers a mouthwatering lamb shawarma that is perfectly done. The tender and flavorful lamb is expertly cooked, creating a delightful blend of spices and textures. The restaurant provides ample seating, making it a great spot to enjoy your meal comfortably. If you're in the mood for a delicious and satisfying shawarma experience, Yalla Motek is the place to go at Aventura Mall.“

“The tapas styled food was delicious and overall a very cozy and great ambience restaurant, but what stood out the most was the the excellent service. We had Hubert as our waiter and he was very attentive, kind, and an overall outgoing person. Highly recommend!“
“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“
“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.“
“The food was amazing. So fresh! The portions were just right and the flavor was through the roof. The family that runs this place was so nice. They turned great food into a memorable experience! If you’re in the area you have to try them out.“
“Have you tried the lemb shawarma yet? Trust me, it will bring you so much joy and satisfaction that words cannot fully describe it. The combination of tender lamb, flavorful spices, and soft pita bread is simply unbeatable. Make sure to give it a try!“
“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.“
“I had the falafel plate. Five falafel balls, Israeli salad, hummus, and two warm pita bread. The quality and quantity of food was excellent. The service was fast and friendly and I hope to return again! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and they will call you by name to pick up your order.“
“This place overcome my expectations, vegetarian kosher food next to my door in Hollywood, such a pleasant place, good service and delicious healthy food.Vegetarian options: Everything in the menuDietary restrictions: Vegetarian and kosher is just a miracleParking: Is a lot of parking“
“This is the second time we go and in both occasions we have had a great experience- love the decoration, the staff very accommodating and cordial, the food varied and light and the ambiance just right - energetic but at the same time relaxed and intimate. We may just become regulars! The one thing that I may suggest is to add a little more quantity to the dips that are offered in the menu and maybe add a “featured” dish for the month to vary the menu a little.“
“I love this place. The food is great and fresh. The service is even better. The manager, Sharie was so sweet and took good care of us. Fio was welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be a regular here. Be sure to sign up for the membership so you can get points and rewards. The ambience is also nice, if you decide to dine. It's nice and clean.“
“Excellent Greek food. Melchor and Ricardo advised us very well with the menu. The lamb and pork gyro are a spectacle. 100% recommended. We arrived at 11:30 p.m. and the best service. Without a doubt an excellent option. They also have a vegan menu and have parking.“
“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.“
“I came to visit it through friend recommendation and this restaurant is worth it! I started with the arancini and then tried different pastas and ravioli and they were amazing! As Italian, I can see why it was well rated: food is authentic and the recipes are coming from the original Italian tradition mixed with Mediterranean fusion. I had the opportunity to meet one of the chef, Pina, emigrated from Italy who has been able to bring to the table the flavor of my country: the rigatoni has the original Italian flavor of the ragù, sweet, not like the American one! And the arancini follow the original Sicilian recipe!The ravioli are amazing! I loved the pesto ones and the ricotta and pera…another Italian tradition worth to try! Same for the gnocchi!You can’t miss the cheesecake, one of the best ever had! If you are around for lunch, they have a special on pastas for just $12.“
“Frank was our waiter for the night and his service was exceptional. He gave us great recommendations and we were excited to try all these new dishes. Food came out in a timely fashion and everything was delicious. Franks service was incredible through the night.“

“Alex our server was absolutely phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about the food he served & passionate about it. My boyfriend and I shared an experience together while at this restaurant because of him, not just a meal. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was incomparable to anything we’ve ever had. I don’t think anything will ever top the food. Delicious!“
“Zelda's food is always delicious and also healthy. As a work from home engineer she saved me tons of time and money every week. I am loosing weight and feeling healthier as well after starting to order her weekly meal preps. I recommend her food to everyone who is into Mediterranean food and looking for healthy and affordable options.“
“We order tabouleh salad, mahi mahi, lamb platter, baklava, Arabic coffee and drinks. The service was great, the goodies top notch. The restaurant wasn't busy on a Fri night but it's absolutely worth if you're wanting Mediterranean, or anything else on the menu. Everything we ate and drank was superb!“
“We ate dinner here. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Chicken Marsala. The burger my son in law ordered was huge! I intended to watch him attempt to eat it, but after my first bite, all my attention was on my own meal. Generous portions and Igor was the sweetest host. I would 100% eat there again-and will, when we visit Miami Beach again. My only concern is that the restaurant is a bit hard to find. It’s inside a hotel, and there’s no sign directing you to the location. A place such as this needs exposure! Thanks so much, Igor, and good luck to you and your partners.“

“March 16th was the first time I ate-in at Sufrat and I am willing to do so again. The food has always been good. The atmosphere and service were also good as well, as well as being a clean facility. Come here if you haven't already. You wont regret it.“
“Ronen is the man. Walked in with my brother and he insisted to make us a baguette “his way”. All I have to say is absolutely ridiculous. This shawarma baguette was so good I couldn’t even see straight driving home. Came all the way from Michigan! - “
“The welcoming ambiance, coupled with the tantalizing aroma of spices, set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu boasted an array of authentic dishes, each bursting with flavor and prepared with utmost care. I savored every bite of the succulent falafel and delicious ceviche.

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or new to Mediterranean cuisine, this is a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts seeking a taste of the Mediterranean charm.“
“We went for my boyfriends bday and food was amazing. He is Azeri and loved the food, he said the hummus was like at home. When we made the reservation we checked the bday box under occasion. However, he didn’t get a complimentary dessert for his bday as it is common in multiple restaurants in Miami, and he wasn’t greeted by the staff. We don’t understand why they gave us the option to mention the occasion. In terms of food it was 10/10 and drinks were strong and tasty.Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly with kids from other tables :)“
“I must express my gratitude without delving into specifics about the exceptional quality of the food. As a Turkish chef residing in the United States for many years, I have sampled numerous Turkish establishments in Miami and Hollywood. However, none have met the standards of authentic Turkish cuisine until I discovered this hidden gem. Finally, I have found a place where my palate is truly satisfied with the flavors of home.“

“The best bartender in the city ! Always happy and in good mood . The best place to come on the weekend . Stella is exceptional and very kind.

Ararat is a must visit place, and please …… ask for Stella ???❤️“

“Came here for a quick bite for lunch, they brought pita bread and hummus to the table which was yummy. I then ordered a chicken souvlaki pita wrap which was really good. Our server was really polite and since I was in a rush he made sure to get everything for me quickly which I really appreciated. All around the ambiance was nice and will be coming back again.“
“Prices a little high. Need som reasonably priced wines as well. Other wise food good. Octopus great. Pastas delicious. Branzino semi filet nice. Tiramisu good and not runny. Lower prices a little! Otherwise very good. Service also very good.“

I highly recommend it!“
“Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at La Martola, with a group of friends, and I must say, the experience was remarkable. We were a party of five, and every single dish we ordered was a hit, a testament to the chef's expertise and the high standards of the kitchen.The standout for me was undoubtedly the pizza. There’s something special about the dough they use; it’s unlike anything I've tasted before. It’s not just food; it's a culinary craft that speaks volumes of the attention to detail in their kitchen. The steak, too, was a revelation—cooked to perfection, each bite was a blend of flavors so rich and satisfying, it was clear that this was no ordinary steak.Another must is the lemon pasta. It’s not often you come across a dish that balances flavors so well, making it a must-try for anyone who visits.But what elevated the evening from simply a great meal to an unforgettable experience was the service. The level of attentiveness and professionalism from the staff was second to none. They anticipated our needs without being intrusive, ensuring our evening was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable.In conclusion, dining at La Martola isn't just eating out; it's an event, a celebration of food at its finest. The exceptional pizza, the exquisite steak, and not to forget, the impressive service, all contribute to a dining experience that's truly remarkable. For anyone looking to indulge in a meal that will linger in your memory long after the last bite, I can’t recommend La Martola enough.To boot the dessert platter was also incredible!“
“I can't get enough of Lido. Hands down, my favorite restaurant in the Miami area. The staff is amazing, including Lorenzo and Mario. Every time I'm in South Florida I make an effort to dine here. This place is legit. The Champagne Bar pre- or post- dinner is memorable. I remain a raving fan!“
“Don’t judge this place like a book by a cover, the interior atmosphere upends any preconception on the approach.The food is ~phenomenal~The service is ~superb~The atmosphere is subtle yet livelyI’ve had food 4 times the price at half the quality here. Timo’s is divine.“
“Love the spread out dining area that this Mr.Mandolin offers, it’s perfect for conversing both inside and out. The menu, although flavorful, is fairly limited in selections so factor that into your visit. #mrmandolin #fresh #greek #atmosphere #miami #dadecounty #floridaParking: Parking is located around the complex which is located within the Vegabound Hotel“
“Very very good kosher middle eastern style spot. I highly recommend the combo salad starter so you can try all the good starters like hummus, Babaganoush, tahini, and Israeli salad. The pita that came with it was great. The shawarma in laffa was great and very full. The chicken breast laffa was also good. Overall very good and highly recommend. They pay attention to using high quality ingredients and it shows.Dietary restrictions: Kosher“

“My husband land I love this restaurant . The food is delicious and the atmosphere as well. We had an special waiter and bartender Tonch that served us twice on the two occasions that we visited the restaurant. He is very personable charismatic and a great bartender. He serves the best drinks that we ever had in any restaurant. He really is a great person who delivers great customer service that's why we will keep coming back to this special restaurant who has the best Turkish food in South Florida.“
“Met a work friend here right before a client meeting and I was truly impressed with the level of service, food quality, atmosphere and overall experience. It was my first time eating here btw. The 2 owners were extremely friendly and greeted me with a warm smile as soon as I walked in (this never happens anywhere else I go!) The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection too. Great place to meet up, take clients to or if you want a really good vibe in Miami. I’ll be back for sure! Thanks again.“
