Amal

First time at Amal and I loved it! Food is amazing! Service was excellent! Definitely coming back! Ps: perfect spot for a date night

BEWARE: after 2hs you'll be kicked out of your table even if you're not finished with your drinks!!!!What would have been a wonderful GNO with delicious food at a beautiful restaurant turned into a rushed unpleasant experience that left a bitter taste, and an unfinished bottle of Prosecco, as were were asked to vacate our table due to a 2h dining policy that wasn't informed to us when we were seated. The whole service felt rushed. We weren't even finished with the appetizers and they wanted to take them away and clear the table... Same with the main courses. Dessert came with the bill! Despite our glasses being constantly topped off, we weren't able to finish our drinks as the manager politely kicked us out. Our options: go to the bar -which was full and no seats available- or go to Level 6 (restaurant upstairs). We opted to place our full glasses of Prosecco on the bar and leave. I highly doubt we'll be back.

Amal is an excellent choice for a memorable night out and truly does it right. While many places in Miami fall into the 'Miami hype'--with high prices, a moody atmosphere, and mediocre food -- Amal is a refreshing exception!From appetizers to dinner, dessert, and drinks, everything was outstanding. The staff is knowledgeable and can speak confidently about the menu. The ambiance is dark and moody, with vibey music, and there's a variety of seating options both indoors and outdoors. Amal showcases a fantastic range of Lebanese options in a refined and exceptional way. We had a very positive experience during Miami Spice and would definitely return!

This is probably the prettiest restaurant in coconut grove & serving delicious Lebanese food. We came in for brunch and the restaurant is gorgeous, beautiful place to celebrate any occasion. We started with a few appetizers including the hummus, Kibbeh, and truffle rakakat. All were amazing but the truffle rakakat was definitely the standout - crispy on the outside filled with truffle cheese. For the entrees we shared the shakshouka and a skewer platter which were also great. Dessert included the mastika ice cream which was topped with cotton candy, delicious & a classic baklava. Service was good aside from the hostess who was not friendly.

We made reservations for a Sunday morning, and were really impressed by the vibe and decor of the restaurant. It felt both homey and chic. Half our party opted for the Miami Spice menu, and the other half ordered off their regular menu. This was nice as some restaurants require the whole party to order off the Miami spice menu, or their regular menu. I ordered their hummus, pancakes and baklava. We were all blown away by their hummus, which had hints of Tahini. The pancake was a little dry for me, however my overall experience was great. The food, service and overall vibe made it a great spot for Sunday morning brunch.

Very nice ambiance, good was tasty. Service was pretty good too. We ordered a couple things to share (mostly appetizers) and a chicken kebab to try. The chicken was very good- juicy and flavorful. The kibbeh was good, not too dry like the usual Kinney ive eaten! I also liked the sauce beneath it. We got the meat and zaatar manoush (although the picture shows cheese the waitress kindly changed for us). The zaatar and meat one were very good. The baba ghanoush was good and so was the nabulsi salad!Overall it was a great time, if I really had one thing to comment on would be that an a period spritz was kinda pricey at $20 each. Will be back!

The best Lebanese restaurant in MiamiHighlights: Hummus, Octopus, Truffle rakakat, pistachio kabab From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with stunning décor that takes your breath away. And the food? It's so delicious that it surprises you all over again. This place has quickly become my second favorite spot (after Osaka) in Miami. Every dish we ordered had just the right balance of flavors, with fresh ingredients that made each bite a delight. The hummus, octopus, truffle rakakat and kebab were all outstanding. I've always been a fan of Lebanese food, but dining here took my love to a whole new level. The service was impeccable, and the manager, Mauro, was incredibly friendly. He even introduced us to Level6, the rooftop area, and the view was simply breathtaking. This is definitely a place I want to revisit. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful restaurant, can whoever designed this restaurant also design my home? LOL! The food tastes like it's straight out of my Lebanese father in law's kitchen. So savory, tasty, juicy, and filling. I recommend this place for dinner or lunch. The service isn't my favorite, their female waitresses at this restaurant give me a nasty attitude and ignore me. Also don't leave without trying the date cake!

Overall great dining experience. The ambiance gives a cool, intimate, Mediterranean feel with options to sit outside on the front patio, outside in the side courtyard, or inside and you can't go wrong with any of the options. Our food was all delicious and presented skillfully. The octopus was light and flavorful, falafel crunchy yet soft on inside, dips and pita so fresh! The only thing I didn't love was the crispy zuchinni and eggplant only because it needed more flavor, but with salt and dip on it was fine. Service was quick, responsive, and knowledgeable about food and drink. The sommelier helped us pick a great red wine, however failed to mention the price even though we said we would like to spend between 70-90 for a bottle. At the end we were surprised by the bottle price (around 140) and the waiter overheard our discussion and took off the extra cost which was very nice.

Great place to have Lebanese food in Coconut Grove! The restaurant is very aesthetic from the moment you walk in. We decided to sit at the bar. The drinks were delicious and we had great service from our bartender. We tried about 4 of their drinks and a lychee martini. It was one of the best lychee martinis I have had in a long time. We shared a few plates: kibbeh, hummus dip, baba ghanoush, truffle rakakat, and falafel. Everything we had was delicious. The truffle rakakat was the best thing we had! I am still dreaming about them. We ended our meal with the date cake which was the perfect ending to our meal. It was the perfect bite.
