Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen

Amazing! Delicious food, charming decor and friendly staff. Highly recommend! We came here for the Israeli Cuisine and were not disappointed!

We had a friend recommend this to us. The service was excellent and it was a cute, very intimate setting, but I was underwhelmed by the food. We had the Salatim (muhammara, babaganoush, charred anion tahini, fire baked pita) with a side order of the Fire Roasted Za'Atar Laffa. The tahini and babaganoush were fresh and flavorful, but the muhammara was super salty. Our favorite part of the entire meal was the Laffa.I had the whole Branzino which was decent, but dry and lacking seasoning. I'd asked if it was completely deboned incorrectly assuming that meant without the head or tail. My poor fiancé was a little freaked out by the fish eyes Fiancé had the PERSIAN BRAISED BONE-INBEEF SHORT RIB ($55 pomegranate-red wine jus. apricots. fennel-radish slow) and it was SO SALTY it was almost unpalatable. He only ate a few bites and left the rest. Maybe the overall quality of the food was due to our very late reservation ‍ I'd like to give it another shot because I have heard such glowing reviews, but first time was not the experience we were looking forward to.

Came back so let's update the review.Food was delicious, good service.We sat outside which is a cute little area. I really liked the watermelon feta salad. It was a special and reminded me of something I'd eat in Israel. The falafel was good, so was the shakshuka. Although my favorite was probably the chicken.Abba's Breakfast was also really good. Only thing I wouldn't get again would be the trio of dips. They were good but of the 3 we tried, I am okay without. Will be back again soon

Definitely one of my favorite places in Miami.! I was here yesterday. I absolutely love everything about the design of the restaurant. The food I must say is out of this freaking world! And the service! Outstanding!

Not one thing here was bad. Started with the mint lemonade which was frosty and refreshing and tasted super fresh. Started with the tuna tartare which was served with za'atar potato chips. It was delicious and served with a scoop of labneh which enhanced the flavor! The crispy cauliflower was sticky and flavorful and had a wonderful tahini sauce. The chicken was perfect to share amongst two people- it came with tomatoes, pita and dipping sauces. It was cooked to absolute perfection. Our server was super great at giving recommendations and the food came out very quickly. Loved it here!

Sunday at 10am with my friend and his family ( 2 little boys ).We took a chance and sat outside despite the expected rain . While the inside looks cute, the outdoors is more cozy and perfect when you have kids who want to be able to walk around . The food was unbelievable. After spending almost a week in miami ( downtown , brickell and Miami Beach ), it's nice to have a different cuisine for a change ( there's a phlethora of modern Asian ). The entrees are a good portion but because I love the food , we decided to order additional items ( we shared the apps ) and a spinach / feta burek. One ordered the shashuka ,the other the steak while I got the grav lax salmon bagel for our mains. For dessert , we shared the baklava and pistachio ice cream . By the time we left , it got super busy , good thing we came for early brunch . I'll definitely come back .

The host, and ambience was lovely, but I felt the food left something to be desired. While it was good, the dishes could have been more flavorful. My favorite would have to have been the lamb chops. The pita was amazing and fresh however!

We came for the Miami spice menu and enjoyed every item. We had the ceviche, the grilled peach salad, the lamb kefta and the spiced sea bass. Everything was fantastic! The service was prompt and accommodating. The staff was sweet to our baby girl and had fun talking to her. The inside is so cute with the flowers hanging from the ceiling and the outside patio is beautiful. I also love the fact they offer Shabbat meals for parties of 6 or more.

This is our friend group's all time favorite restaurant in the Miami area. It's gorgeous... the outdoor covered patio/ garden area is lovely. The food is healthy and it tastes insanely good. Bring an empty stomach bc it's very hard to stop eating! The servers are extremely knowledgeable about the menu and don't mind helping out. I love that!

I'm not sure why I thought taking my besties here for brunch to celebrate their wedding Anniversary would be a hit or miss even after reading all the positive reviews but the choice was nothing short of perfect. First of all let me give the well deserved flowers to Martinique, the absolute best server we've interacted with as of late. She was so welcoming, accommodating, helpful and went above and beyond to make this brunch date special for my friends and I. Won't get into details but after having a "not so positive" interaction with the host at the door and end up seating inside after I requested and outside table, Martinique turned the experience the other way around to a positive and memorable one, she is HER. So after getting comfortable outside, which is a gorgeous space with the right vibes and aesthetic, we started with some limonanas and stuck with those for the rest of the meal because talk about a refreshing drink that also packs a hell of a punch. Now we ordered a LOT of food so I'm not gonna break it all down but everything was phenomenal. Dishes that stood out and I recommmed are...crunchy cauliflower that would turn a carnivore like me, vegan. You couldn't tell me this was not chicken; The Shakshuka with ricotta cheese on top to die for; Steak and eggs that were some of the best I've tasted in a while; Grouper ceviche of the day was impeccable; Masabacha and those addictive Jerusalem bagels were perfect together and last, for dessert...Lemon-olive oil pistachio cake, pistachio ice cream and baklava with pistachio ice cream.We ended up taking some food home which my besties love to do so I was proud for picking a good restaurant that they enjoyed and loved as much as they did. This was from the brunch menu but there a few things to try from the lunch menu so we'd be coming back next year. Another one for the books besties, love y'all.
