Alacati Mediterranean Restaurant

My last experience before this one was definitely better. Just do yourself a favor if you want to try their lahmacun, to call 2 hours in advance.I have a feeling they fired the good ones in their staff and I think they were looking for another chef. Something was off about their soup -- it wasn't as bisque like last time. It felt like chicken soup with bits of lentil and that's it. I just wanted something light. The only good thing I ate was the bread while I was waiting. I would have given them another chance if the waiter wasn't unfriendly or ignored me while serving only two other tables. Ambiance? Well, it was late lunch, but not that crowded.I'm sorry, but "yok, artik!" (No way/no more.)

If I could give 0 stars I would. Let's just say this restaurant ruined Valentine's Day for my wife and I. Their customer service was atrocious. You would think on one of the most celebrated holidays for their customers they would take care of them better and they just ignored us. The literal trash got more attention then we did. We placed our order with the waiter which was a Turkish appetizer and the Salmon. After 40 minutes of waiting and not seeing our waiter someone dropped off the Salmon for me and nothing for my wife. The waiter never visited our table to check on us. We tried getting the attention of other staff members to get our waiter and after 20Minutes he finally arrived like we were ruining his night. When we confronted him about my wife's meal he said "I guess the kitchen forgot" and then proceeded with "Do you want the check with only the Salmon?" Sure let me pay for food we never ate. Let's just say if you want to torture a loved one or are ready to break up with your significant other this is the play to go.

This place is amazing! I highly recommend it. I ordered the octopus and the Iskender dish. The cocktails were also fabulous...order the Rosemary Old Fashion....it's so delicious and your going to want to have more than one Rosemary Old Fashion. This drink has the perfect twist. Overall, everything was amazing and I love the ambiance. I give this this place two thumbs up and will definitely be coming back.

This was a take out order. I got the Greek Salad (which was on the small side) with chicken and Lentil Soup. The salad was good but was about 1/3 raw onions which I don't like so I had to pick them out. The goat cheese and chicken were very good though. The lentil soup didn't have a single whole lentil in it -- it was just broth presumably with some ground up lentils. No flat bread included unfortunately. The bill was $33 plus change which was a bit disappointing considering the smallish portion sizes and no beverage. The ambiance is nice with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was pleasant. It's in a strip mall so tons of parking.

I really enjoyed the Kunefe desert. Cheesy, sweet and crunchy with pistachios in it. Can't go wrong with it. A dish very hard to get in Miami and definitely way better than the one I make at home. The cheese pide was fun as well. Not only very cheesy but the inner section of the crust tasted very buttery like. Why no higher than 3 stars? Because I didn't enjoy my lamb shops and that is the first time I have said I didn't enjoy lamb shops. Ever. I usually suck the grease out of the bone but in this case I didn't finish them, neither I touched the mashed potatoes. My wife tried the lamb chops and didn't enjoy them either. The complementary bread was no bad but didn't do it for me. Other notes: very clean business and that is including the bathrooms. The place is spacious, has a bar area in the back, nice outdoor area as well and has a great overall atmosphere. Lots of colorful Mediterranean items. The service was very good and lots of parking space.

My friend wanted to eat at this Mediterranean restaurant but I was they had few vegan options and so I ordered the appetizer she suggested and it was too oily for me . Her lamb chops were cooked to perfection but lacked seasoning . I enjoyed the bread and the service .

Yummy, tasty food and cocktail selection! The service is great, as well! This place is one of our top choices.

Live in the area so decided to come back again and have dinner .Started off with stuffed grape leaves. Very good so good forgot to take a picture :) Wifey ordered the gyro plate which was amazing with an interesting Bulgar wheat . Myself I ordered the stuffed cabbage that were Apsolutely the best I've ever had !

*Note* I went to the Plantation location that has been open for 2 weeks.Had one of the best restaurant experiences ever at this place! They've been open for 2 weeks and I cannot wait to eat here all the time! Tuna was our server. Yes his name was Tuna and he was the SWEETEST man. He walked us through the menu and gave us a few recommendations of his favorite dishes. We ended up going with the stuffed cabbage, mixed grill and lamb kabobs. Fantastic! 10/10The atmosphere is so cool and it's very clean! They also gave us dessert at the end of our meal on the house. So good!!

The new location in Plantation is lovely. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I had shrimp scampi my husband had moussaka. I highly recommend you give it a try. It's on Pine Island north of Broward Blvd in the Publix plaza.
