The service was amazing. The food was great. The chef knew that we were Iraqi, so he brought us special pickles from Najaf, Iraq on the house. We just came in for a quick bite before heading to the airport, and left so happy. It must be the Middle Eastern hospitality, but we will be back. The prices in the market are reasonable. They sell a lot of hookah supplies for reasonable prices. A box (20 rolls) of Three Kings Charcoals are only $15. Whole Foods sells 1 roll for $3 and I found a smoke shop on Biscayne that sells 1 roll for $5. Just keep in mind that keeping prices fair keeps customers coming back.

The set-up of this place reminds me of Al-Salaam and their market next door in Plantation, considering that this place is also a market-restaurant combo.As far as the market go, they stock every staple. They have their own bakery where they make their own sfihas and manakish (levantine pizzas) of several types (which saves me a drive from going further north to Noor bakery). And they have a grill where they make shawarma in the counter by where they stock and display the halal meats. For a market, it's pretty well-rounded, which is primarily the reason why it's my favorite in South Florida. The only thing that's missing from the market may be good selection of Middle Eastern sweets, although some of the classic sweets could be ordered in the adjoining sit-down restaurant.For a Middle Eastern market in Miami-Dade county, I'd say this is the best, although I do still think at times about the old standby of the Jerusalem Market (which is Lebanese despite the name) much farther down the street toward the beach for their prepared foods.I see myself coming back frequently here.

Having lunch with my son every week, we try to go to new places. I was in the mood for Mediterranean. My son found this place and we decided to try it out. We've eaten at many, many Mediterranean restaurants. This is one of the best places I've ever eaten! The portions were huge, so beware before ordering 7 different appetizers! We ordered the tabouleh, falafel, foul madumus, kodseih, a Greek salad, and a side of fries. The kidseih was HUGE! It could have fed 4-5 people. I'm not a fan over tabouleh, but my son made my try it and it was the best we've ever had! My Greek salad was huge too. We had leftovers if everything! The staff were very friendly. We will definitely be going back!

The Lamb Shawarma Pita : lamb was under-cooked (not in-consumable though) and bland on the seasoning (the garlic sauce is what got me thru this sandwich though.)The Lentil Soup : too much black pepper - it's not like most lentil soups. This one is pureed lentils (not a problem), but aside from the black pepper, no real flavor. Baklava : good amount of sweetness - was average (at least not dried out like many others I've tried locally)Overall, a good try - would not particularly return though.

After receiving the recommendation from Samar R. for the perfect spot to source my Middle Eastern goods, I arrived right after traffic hour and browsed the aisles for my treasured bottle of Rose Water. I couldn't leave without a tub of Lebanese Labneh so I picked a small bag of pita bread to pair it with. Aside from their market, they also serve daily specials prepared at the counter or in their dining area. Aside from the bottles of Rose Water, I also grabbed one of the Orange Blossom Waters too. They are highly concentrated so only two teaspoons is needed per serving. I love the endless array of eggplant goods! I decided at the last minute to add an order of Tabbouleh to my purchase. It was made to order and tasted extremely fresh. The lemon juice ratio with the crunchy and zesty parsley made a perfectly rejuvenating accompaniment to my dinner. Since I was on a rose-associated vibe, I grabbed the milky-looking rose water drink with boba in it. That was the best decision I've made all week. Not only was it incredibly delicious, it was replenishing on so many different levels. The customer service was very good, they were really nice and answered all my questions. I'm so glad I found this place. I can't wait to come back and nourish my inner habibi needs. The selection of cheese here is honestly the closest thing to heaven I've ever witnessed.

The service was nice despite the wait for the kibbeh (I don't mind waiting when it's fresh, which it was not; it was frozen in the center when i got it.... and i have sensitive teeth so that was not fun). My only issue was the knafeh which is what I came for. It tasted nothing like what I hav come to know. I didn't taste any rose but rather overwhelming vanilla flavor. The crust didn't even seem like the usual pastry crust but rather an ordinary pie crust (texture was similar to soggy graham cracker crust). I haven't been able to find great Knafeh in south Florida, and to date, the best I've had was in Paterson, NJ. But this was so bad, I really could've gone to Whole Foods for a basic desert and would've been more satisfied. Sad thing was, I was going to bring some to my mom to try for the first time but I couldn't let this place ruin her first experience with middle eastern foods.

This place is more than a restaurant. I can do lots of shopping now in this neighborhood. Aldi is down the street for daily groceries. There are several Chinese stores with lots of Asian ingredients. At Aladdin you can get most of what you need for Middle Eastern recipes. I saw filo dough in the freezer. They have a nice variety of fetas, including Dodoni, a good Greek brand. Spices galore - I refilled my sumac and zatar. If you want a tiny bite to tide you over, don't miss the fatayah - Syrian/Lebanese spinach or meat pies. I had the spinach and it was spot on. Eating and replenishing your pantry in one place and on one street.
