Izgara Mediterranean Restaurant

We have always ordered delivery so not sure about the restaurant experience, but WOW THE FOOD! My favorite is the Sabich - roasted eggplant, their incredible homemade hummus, sliced egg, and aromatic rice - I recommend the Sabich sandwich PLATTER - this gives all the components with pita on the side so you can build your own, which means it's a lot fresher with delivery. Friends have loved the shishlich, falafel, and the kebabs too. The hummus platters give a massive amount of hummus - think salad plate sized! - but don't worry, you will eat it all :)

Food was delicious, ambiance is casual and calm, pretty. I loved the spicy jalapeño sauce, so fresh!

I have had Izgara on my list for a while but to be honest the little plaza it is in gives me stress getting in and out. However I kept seeing such positive reviews on Facebook that I had to suck it up and give them a try. My husband and I shared a lentil soup. It was so good. The best thing about Mediterranean restaurants is that depending on what region they are from, the food is different and this lentil soup was delicious! I had the grilled salmon salad. It was HUGE! The salad was basically Israeli salad, feta and lettuce. I could have done within the potato sticks...in house they were a nice crunch, but I took home the leftovers and they did get a little soggy...while the rest of the salad was still amazing 2 days later. The salmon was perfectly cooked. I feel the onions need like 12 stars! I could have eaten a whole bowl of that alone. Everything was so tasty. My husband had the lamb platter with sweet potato fries. He said it was very good. The dish comes with hummus and he hates it so he asked for it on a separate dish. Lucky for me! I love hummus and it was delicious. We had baklava for dessert. It was a free dessert with Yelp check in. I wish I could have said I loved it but I didn't. It was the only part of the meal that was underwhelming. It was dry and just...not great. Trust me, this one thing won't stop me from returning. The meal was very good. Soda is served in a can. It's definitely a downer. It also won't keep me from returning. Service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean & the tables are nicely spaced. Looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in South Florida! We got the combo platter, and it was amazing. The meat was flavorful and the humas was creamy. I highly recommend this place!

If you're craving the most delicious Middle Eastern cuisine in Plantation, Izgara is your place. The food is fresh and healthy and delivered to your table quickly. The restaurant itself is so quaint and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. My go-to meal is their falafel platter. So good!!!We've been enjoying Izgara for years- not just when dining in, but also when hosting family and friends at our home. Whenever I cater at home from Izgara, I always receive messages and phone calls asking where the food was from because it was so good. The owners are also huge supporters of the community and willing to step up to support a cause dear to their hearts.

Izgara is a "Mediterranean" restaurant with a Turkish name (the signage used to say Middle Eastern, but this has been recently and obviously altered) located in Plantation. It happens to serve Israeli food based on menu descriptions, but it is not Kosher. Confusing, yes.We visited the place on a Friday night and were impressed by its beautiful interior and cafe-like ambiance. The menu had all the typical dishes you would expect to find in an Israeli restaurant, but unfortunately, the preparations were not up to the mark. We ordered a mezze plate sampler, including hummus, baba ghanoush, Israeli salad, and falafel. The hummus and baba ghanoush were extremely pureed and creamy, and both were topped with a large amount of Tahini sauce, which made them taste almost identical. On the other hand, the falafel was good, with a softer consistency and nicely fried crispy on the outside. Rachel ordered the Sabich sandwich, a legendary Iraqi Jewish sandwich known for using a pickled mango condiment called amba. Izgara's version of the sandwich is missing the amba. This is a major oversight on their part, especially since the restaurant doesn't even keep the ingredient. The sandwich, which was invented by Mizrahi Jews in Tel Aviv in the early 1940s, is typically made with fried eggplant slices, amba, hard-boiled eggs cooked in "hamin" broth, tahini, and Israeli salad, along with boiled potatoes or french fries. This used a chunky sauteed eggplant; it wasn't fried brown or fried breaded/flour dusted (that some modern places do) as you typically see with this sandwich, so I don't think it had the correct texture.My dish was the beef kebab, also known as Kafta, Kofta, or Kefta Kabab. The waiter warned me that it was going to be spicy. He should have warned me that it would be mushy, a texture that you do not typically find in ground meat kebabs. The chef heavily processed it with a lot of raw vegetables, and it had a very unpleasant and soft consistency. We prompted them several times to remove it from the table, and they eventually took it off the bill.The beef kebabs also came with a rather odd salad, which consisted strictly of lettuce and shredded mozzarella cheese with a tahini lemon dressing. This was not bad, but it was strange that it was served at an Israeli restaurant along with meat dishes. I wanted to like the place, but I don't think we'll return to the restaurant.EDIT: I would like to add that the restaurant owner is engaging in a personal attack campaign on me on her Facebook page, and Yelp management should investigate this in violation of its TOS. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10233484619443874&id=1427684804&mibextid=WaXdOe

Years ago I stumbled upon Izgara as a cheap and delicious option in Plantation. 4 years later and this place continues to serve incredible flavors at great prices. My favorite dish will forever be the hummus plates. You may think that there is such a thing as too much hummus, but not this hummus. It's strangely addicting. The service makes you feel like you're home. Nothing fancy but made with love.

I don't know how many times we've driven past this restaurant or looked at it on Yelp. Today was the lucky day. We are finally going to have lunch there. What a great place. We love Middle Eastern food. It's always different from one place to the next. My wife and I shared a bowl of lentil soup. It was superb! We absolutely loved it. My wife decided to have a salad with grilled salmon. First, it was huge! She really enjoyed it. She could not finish it, so she took it home and we had it with dinner the next night. I have to say it was very good. Now, for me, I had the grilled lamb platter. It was grilled lamb, Israeli salad, sweet potato fries, pita bread, and hummus. Since I don't care for hummus, I got it on the side. My wife wanted it and she said it was fantastic. I loved what I had. The only thing I wish they had was a green vegetable instead of potato of rice. Even though I don't like it when a restaurant serves a can soda, it sure isn't going to stop us from eating here again.

Do you like salt? Sadly, I think that a container of salt fell into the grilled lamb. I could barely eat the stuff. But, it may be the way they like it. The rice was salty too. We ordered the Mezze plate that was mediocre at best. The baba ganoujsh was bland and very creamy. I hope that it was just a bad day. But, it was a bad day.
