“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.“
“I would say this was the BEST food place we ate at on our entire trip. I loved the coconuts with coconut water in them. The trump signature burger was the best and our kids loved the fruit basket. You can get service by the pool or the beach. Highly recommend!!!“
“Wonderful first time visit. Valet parking available as is a paid city parking lot just a few steps away. Nestled at 400 Sunny Isles Blvd., the so-very Florida marina view adds charm in a very luxurious setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. Full bar. Exquisite, authentic Greek fare. Exceptional service level with Niko helping us navigate the evening, providing menu suggestions and assuring he kept a close eye on our table. He made us feel like family, exceeding all expectations. Certainly not inexpensive, but worth every penny. High-end, but top-value. Much less expensive than traveling to Greece for dinner. :-) …Do give it a try and ask for Niko!“
“The food is amazing. The service sucks. I have been there three times and it is always the same, long wait and grumpy service.I wish the service could improve because I love their food.If you are planning on going just be prepared to wait a long time, besides that enjoy the delicious food.“
“Super delighted with this restaurant, the food has been fabulous, the baklava please delicious, I loved everything we ate. The restaurant is super cozy with decoration thought out in detail. Its owner is super attentive to everyone. And the waiters were very friendly, they gave us good service.“
“I went back to motek aventura and - as always - the food and the service was amazing.Alejandro was our service and once again I got impressive with his politeness and kindness.I really appreciate his amazing service and motek great atmosphere This is what makes me come back.“
“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.“

“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!“

They have a full bar and lovely Greek food.Vegetarian options: Hummus, salads, etc.Kid-friendliness: The owner chatted it up with a little girl around age 7.Wheelchair accessibility: Room.arpund thw tables to maneuver.“
“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 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“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 Is so Amazing!! It was my first time trying her food and she was so patient with me while I was deciding. I got her famous salad, falafel, hummus, and side of pita. Can’t forget the grape Leaves! It was my first time trying it and it was super delicious. She’s very kind and caring and serves only the freshest food. 10/10 recommend! ❤️“
“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 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.“
“One of the falafel and kebbeh I have had. Just the amount of spices, flavorful, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pina colada was also great. Could taste the freshness of the pineapple. My kabob was excellent. Overall wonderful experience and food.“
“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! - “
“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.“
“I recently dined at OVO, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The combination of excellent meat and sushi options made for a truly delightful culinary journey. Each dish was expertly crafted, bursting with flavor and freshness. Moreover, the manager, Iven, ensured impeccable service throughout the evening, attending to every detail with warmth and professionalism. OVO is undoubtedly a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier dining experience.“
“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!“
“Excellent food. Every single Plate the we taste was absolutely amazing. The duck dumplings and the Sha Bao were my favorites. The service was great and atmosphere fenomenal, overall the pace was above my expectations. I will definitely recommend this place .“
“Second time coming for dinner here, oh it was as good the second time as the first. I did the spaghetti cacio e pepe where they mix it in the cheese wheel, and it is so good. They bring it right to the table, and mix it right in front of you. Also had the Caesar salad, which is very fresh and crunchy, with lots of cheese. The short rib ravioli is also very good, and is a good portion.“
“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.“
“This is my third time in this place, just because is 45 miles away of my home, but definitely is my favorite stop on my way to Miami, very close to I95 in Hallandale Blvd. shawarma and taboule was awesome. But I love everything here is a must.!!“
“Tania's Table is the epitome of home comfort food. The dishes are hearty, flavorful, and always hit the spot. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like you're eating in your own home. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for a casual lunch with friends or Friday night catering with your in-laws.Overall, Tania's Table is a must-try for anyone in search of delicious, comforting, and satisfying food. I highly recommend it!“
“A gorgeous restaurant that makes you feel like you traveled to the Amalfi coast. We had a delicious lemon tagliolini and a an amazing thin vegetable pizza. They have great fish options and a rotisserie oven in the back. Our only complaint is that the wine list is ridiculously expensive. Order by the glass.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Perfect evening at a spectacular restaurant on the intracoastal! This restaurant is absolutely beautiful with amazing ambiance and a service unmatched. Our server Lauren was so friendly and pleasant she made our experience unforgettable. The food was excellent! I enjoyed the Strawberry Blossom Martini! Oh my was it delicious. Thank you for the wonderful experience Juniper on the water and Lauren for your exceptional service. We will be back.“
“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.“
“All excellent Gyros. The lamb was just right. The only detail I can't approve of is the grape leaves. A good tooth like me can distinguish a grape leaf prepared on site and another that comes from a can. That doesn't mean I won't return, I even took another gyro for breakfast.“
“We went here for breakfast and everything was awesome! It's called something different now(sorry can't remember). I had the Avocado toast and my husband had the traditional Shakshuka. Both were very good with high quality ingredients and presentation. Staff and service was top notch. Would definitely go back.“
“This restaurant is nice and welcoming, the food is good for the price, the cook usually comes out and greets you, the only thing I disliked in my last visit is that I paid and did not include a tip because I feel like tips are optional depending if you like the service but it is hard to tip if you are paying first and receiving service after because you don’t know if you will like the service, so long story short initially I did not include the tip and the cashier/server asked me about the tip like it is mandatory, so she said you can also give cash which I did not have so I had to end up paying it with my credit card with tax added because I felt pressured to do so, I don’t like feeling pressured to give tips so for this only reason not sure if I will return.“
“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. Always greet me and my family like her own family , something that you can not find everywhere. I love this place and the personnel that works here. Ararat is a must visit place, and please …… ask for Stella ???❤️“
