"This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in SoFlo. We had the privilege to enjoy the $45 pp Miami Spice Menu and it was truly a steal. You got 2 appetizers, an entree and dessert. Everything was delicious and well thought out. Attention is also great and if it's your first time they will explain that all dishes are tapa style and will even give you their personal recommendations if you ask.The chef also comes by the tables to ask how everything was. Very nice touch and very humble sweet chef.I have been dreaming of going back to this place ever since I left :)"
"In the mood for kebabs and found Ha-temania on Uber Eats. Ordered the platter and Yemenite beef soup. The food was delivered relatively quickly and the soup was piping hot. Although it had a great flavor, I only wish the carrot and potato was cut into smaller pieces. Also, the menu online states that the soup comes with scallion, radish, and pickles... which I did not receive. For the platter, the kebabs were delicious and cooked to perfection. I was a little disappointed to find out that the Israeli salad was not included with the meal considering that it was depicted online & on Uber Eats. Also, tahineh sauce would have paired perfectly with the kebabs and is even showed drizzled over the meat online. However, I did not receive any sauce with my meal. All in all, I would definitely order from them again... I'll remember to request the tahineh next time!"
"Amazing restaurant, beautiful and the food exquisite! Looking forward to going again and again! We met Chef Olivia Ostrow...so nice and an incredible Chef. Loved it!"
"Came by and had the plate with a bunch of different meats- sausage lamb steak chicken baby chicken- everything was delicious and will be back. Made for 4 people, but we ate as two whoops!"
"I remembered this location, as it was another restaurant I had visited and reviewed last year January. The location is in a strip mall area with a nice fountain and plenty of outdoor seating available as well.I came here with the family and a big appetite and we initially opted to sit inside. Its a nice large space with the smell of BBQ wood smoke in the air. Unfortunately, while we were there, someone accidentally shut off the vent and it started to smoke up, so they suggested we move outdoors. The weather was OK, so we moved it outdoors. I ordered the Brisket tacos and the Dino Rib, on condition my wife share with me. The wife and kids got a slew of other items as you can see in the photos. The Brisket in the tacos was a bit tough but the Pico de Gallo was delicious, so it wasn't bad. I tasted some of the Pulled beef tacos, which was amazing and then my Dino rib came. OMG it was huge.. like a Dino! The meat literally fell off the bone with the touch of my fork. It did need some salt and BBQ sauce for added flavor, but was incredibly soft and amazing.My wife said the Wings were very good and the kids loved the Dirty Pulled beef fries and the Smoked chicken.. both the platter and the sandwich were really good. Even the guac with their own chips was very good.The Service was very good as well. We only experienced friendly, helpful service that included suggestions and assistance with an allergy that one of my kids have and on what is popular as well as based on how things are made. Awesome experience all around."
"We tried Mendel's because it was in walking distance of our hotel, and to tell the truth, it was just ok. It was a busy weekend for them, so maybe that was the problem.Positives - We were seated immediately which was good because at other places there were long waits. Also, the sweet sauce that went with the brisket was delicious. Negatives - I ordered the half chicken which they ran out of. They substituted the grilled chicken breast instead. Unfortunately it was very dry. I would like to try this place again when it is not as busy."
"1/5/22I've been here a number of times but had not come for a while. I brought a family member here tonight. We came at a good time and had our choice of tables. We sat outside. Ordered Iced coffees which were great. My brother ordered hummus with pita. It was just mediocre. The pita was soft but tasted packaged. The hummus was not great either. He asked for well toasted pita and was charged for another side of bread. He also ordered the mushroom salad which he enjoyed. I ordered the fettuccine with creamy pesto. It was cold, and the sauce appeared to have just been poured on top without being mixed well. They offered to reheat it but I did not come for reheated food. Fortunately I was able to order something else instead. I ordered the tuna salad plate which was fresh and tasty. For dessert we ordered the breakfast waffle to share. They accidentally brought us the nutella brownie instead. We ended up having both. They were both excellent. The food here was not as good as I remember it from the past. The service was great. I highly recommend the desserts."

This is my first time eating here. The hummus plate was absolutely delicious. The oil they put on it with tahini topped off with Schwarma. The restaurant was packed for a Tuesday evening. The prices are high, but then again most Israeli places has gotten comparably expensive. This is a nice alternative to Pita Plus in the area.

I had been really wanting to check out Neya since I love Israeli food and finally did so last Saturday night. Reservations were easy, and so was the parking. We found a spot on the street right in front. We didn't have to wait to be seated on our reservation and were seated in a comfortable banquette overlooking the room. We started with cocktails. I had the Akko Sun with Mezcal. It was spicy, smokey and delicious. My girlfriend had the passion bellini, which actually has vodka that balances the sweetness quite well. The service was amazing and our waiter Andre recommended delicious dishes for us all night. We started with the tuna crudo. It was fresh and fantastic. The octopus hummus was delicious and the octopus was perfectly cooked. The ricotta gnocchi was good without being overly filling. We also had the beef tenderloin that came with this delicious caramel sauce. The special of the night was a fish wellington, that was baked in a phyllo type dough. It was creamy and sweet and delicious, while being perfectly cooked. For desserts, my girlfriend had the cheesecake and I had the chocolate dessert. Neither of us shared. I LOVED the chocolate dessert and my girlfriend loved hers. We will definitely be back and I have already recommended it to all my friends. Welcome, Neya. Please stay forever. Maybe move to Coral Gables?!

My wife is half Yemenite and I love this food; but we don't have this food back home. On our vacation we found this place and had some authentic stuff. Jachnun was legit. Owner was our server and we got the world renowned authentic Israeli service where you get yelled at but there's love deep down. I'll be going again. And again.

The food was very tasty. The ambiance was lovely. To be fair it was a holiday weekend, and our reservation was for 9.45pm. Half of the items on main course menu were not available, or so we were told. There were many patrons that came and were seated after us who were served the items we had requested, but they might have been regular clients? We were offered complimentary wine and a sincere apology, but for a special extravagant evening out that we had planned to have it seemed disappointing?

Overpriced and lacks flavor. I understand kosher food is more expensive than non-kosher food, so this was expected, but the prices at this restaurant were just outrageous - sure, the portions are big enough to share, but the flavor is missing, which is disappointing because when they bring out the giant plates of food it all looks delicious, but when you bite into it, it's all very bland and tasteless. We ordered three dishes, of which we liked none. My daughter ordered the kids chicken tenders, they were rock hard and missing seasoning, my mother ordered eggplant with garbanzo beans and tahini...this was alright and the best of all three plates. Lastly, my boyfriend and I shared the Israeli mix because the picture on the menu looked amazing and as they set the plate in front of us both our mouths watered until we took the first bite and we tasted...nothing. The dining experience was worth it only because we went with our amazing friends who we love and consider family.

"Very good Steak and customer service. Loved everything about my meal. Couldn't decide on a evening drink and she allowed a sampling, what more could you ask for? Lol. Decided on Barkan-Chardonnay. Sizzling steak plates and wonderful oyster mushrooms. Great pita bread and condiments. Can't complain one bit. Beautiful typical steak house white tables. Enjoyed myself, thank you!"
"Good food and good sized portions. Very friendly staff, they really enhanced our experience. Hrecommend the Gen Tsao Chicken, Crispy Beef and Crispy DUCK!!Easily the best kosher Chinese in Miami."
"It turns out I've driven past this cozy Israeli / Mediterranean deli plenty of times while on the Julia Tuttle Causeway. I finally stopped in last night seeing it was the only healthy place open late after visiting my mom in the nearby hospital. Even though they were near closing time, I must say the service was top notch. I never felt rushed, and for that alone they get five stars.Functionally it's a walk up order, and they have seating both inside and on the sidewalk. The creamy hummus I ordered, garnished with tomatoes and onions, tasted fresh, as was the warm and fluffy pita bread served with it. You can tell the bread was made fresh when ordered! The bowl of lentil I ordered was nicely warm and hearty and went along great with the grilled chicken breast.They also have a few prepackaged baked goods, as well as kosher grape juice."
"We met friends from the Midwest who were visiting family in south Florida. They are kosher. This wasn't our usual choice for us of dining venues, but we do like mediterranean cuisine, so we felt it was a promising option. In addition, it was a restaurant that none of us had been to before. We were familiar with the shopping center as many years ago there was both a sushi restaurant and Chinese restaurant that we used to frequent here. There's plenty of parking in the lots nearby although it is a busy corner.The restaurant is small. Our server had just started working there so she was quite careful in taking our order and had to check the answers to our questions. Even though the service wasn't perfect (she didn't bring a few extra items we'd asked for -- like salad dressing, etc.), we knew she was trying. Our friends started out with a hummus appetizer. It came with pita bread. The hummus was quite good. It was topped with some whole chickpeas and oil. It was a large enough of a serving to share. After that, they both had the (vegetarian) vegetable soup which came with a large amount of couscous. They added some of the couscous to the soup. The coucous was served in a decorative tagine. I had their chicken schnitzel salad. This was a piece of battered chicken breast deep fried and cut into pieces on top of an Israeli salad. My husband had their shakshuka dish. This had three eggs cooked in the tomato sauce. Both portions were quite large. The eggs were cooked a bit more than my husband would have liked, but he still enjoyed the dish. To drink, we shared a pot of very good mint tea. It was large enough for quite a few glasses each.For dessert, our friends had a piece of baklava. And we tried their knafeh. It is one of my husband's favorite desserts as it is not overly sweet. It was a tad overcooked, as the filo was a bit too browned, but still quite good. We are glad we had the opportunity to try this restaurant. And yes, we would come back here again -- even without our kosher friends."
"Located in Aventura Mall in North Miami, this Mediterranean counter service restaurant is part of the food court. I had the Salmon Shawarma bowl with veggie quinoa with the sauces $19. It was fresh, flavorful and delicious."
"This traditional neighborhood Israeli cafe located in North Miami near Aventura offers great food. We started with fresh orange juice $8 and coffee $4. We had the Ziva Complete $18, the Omllette Croissant $16, and Pita Sabich $16. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was great."
"We brought the family here based on one of my daughters reccomendation. The place is actually really large and we were seated in the side room, since this is likely one of the busiest weeks of the year for them. Waitress came rather quickly and was very attentive. We got our menus and had time to decide first for the appetizers, so that our main dishes wont come at the same time as our appetizers. That was the recommendation for this week. I wish I took photos of everything, since all the appetizers we ordered were great. very fresh, tasty and came out rather quickly. We got the Dim Sum, the fried String beans, the hangar appetizer and likely others.We then placed our order and I ordered the full Hangar steak, as did my wife and one of my daughters. The others ordered other steaks and fried rice. When I received my Hangar steak I was dumbfounded. It appeared more like a shish kabob of beef, not a steak. Just a large one. The description did not state it was on a skewer... So we made our displeasure known and the manager was quick to come over and agreed that the description could be misleading about what you are getting and that they were adding descriptions to the newer menus to explain what you are getting. I mentioned that the menu didnt state how large the steak would be or I would have ordered a larger one. This one is only 8oz and I have been known to eat a 26oz. However... As a gesture, the manager offered to give me a second steak on the house!! WOW! The waitress then brought out the second steak. Honestly, it just reinforced their true commitment to serving their customers and ensuring their satisfaction. Great food and great service."
"Great place! The place is very nice ambience and huge area. Great for parties. They also had live music which was very nice and entertaining. Food was delicious and fresh. Came around with all different types of fresh meat every few minutes. The service was very good and they were very accommodating to anything extra we needed. Can't wait to come back"
"Years ago, there use to be a bakery on Alton Road near 7th street run by a super sweet jewish lady, and there was nothing like the bread and pastries coming out of that place. Then one day she decided to retire and sold the place. Zak the baker kinda brought that back to me, but with a modern twist. You have to try their bagels. These bagels far exceeded my expectations. I daresay they were better than the bagels I had in Montreal. Added some of that nova cream cheese... Forget about it.Then there's their chocolate Bobka..... Oh my bobka.. daaaaang. Also, the size of it! Took me 3 days to finally finish just that one slice. Service couldn't have been better. Really friendly people, attentive, and courteous. I can't recommend this place enough."
"1/25/22 Ordered Uber Eats. Had the mixed greens salad and the "side" salmon as a topper.The salad was packaged perfectly, it looked beautiful and tasted delicious. The ginger dressing went well. Loved the Peruvian corn and fresh avocado. Also appreciated that the onions were sliced very thinly so they did not overwhelm the salad. Enjoyed how the individual vegetables were separate so that I could mix them on my own. Each component was very fresh.The salmon was cooked to perfection. Enjoyed the meal very much. Looking forward to going to the restaurant to try more of their menu items"
"Awesome experience here. Great food, great service and good ambiance. Some highlights were the fried bread appetizer, the first pizza on the menu (pesto and tomato) and the fried cauliflower. Personally I thought the fig and cheese pizza was too sweet.Fish was good (branzino with purple potatoes) and the papardelle was also great. Creme brulee was a little too burnt and bitter tasting."
"Unbelievable authentic restaurant here in Soflo; may be my new favorite in Broward period. I've been here twice since opening and everything is outstanding. The service is amazing, quick, attentive, and friendly. The vibes are 100%, with great decor and energy. The owner/chef was there making sure everything runs smoothly, and is just as friendly. The food is insane!! We ordered multiple starters and nothing was less than perfect. The Israel Mezza gave us a small variety of starters: hummus, homemade pickles, bread, and salads. Everything was flavorful and fresh. We also had the Brussels sprouts and eggplant (not pictured) and they were just as good. The main courses were even better. The chicken tajine and some of the best couscous I've ever had. You can tell it's 100% homemade. The chicken was tender and was packed with flavor too. The harrais was juicy and had a hint of sweetness. Not pictured are the lamb tajine, salmon, and kofta kebab that held up to the other mains too. The desserts here are all dairy free and you can't even tell! We had the dessert of the day, a banana bread pudding, and it was one of the best I've ever had. Nothing was lacking! TLDR: you have to come here for authentic middle eastern food with excellent vibes and energy."
"Delicious homemade and fresh Shawarmas, pitas and platters. I love the Falafel pita stuffed with all the delicious toppings like red cabbage, white cabbage, coleslaw, tomato, cucumber, pickles, babaganush, Spanish eggplant, Turkish salad, parsley, tahini sauce, red pepper, olives, onion, lettuce and so much more. You can customize anything you want, service is very friendly and attentive. There are many vegetarian options. They also offer breakfast, salads and pastries. They have free parking just east of the building for customers."
"This was an unexpected stop on the way north. After leaving laurenzos we were heading up Dixie and looking for a late lunch or snack having only shared a hot dog at Sams club.This was the first place open with parking.Prices for main meals are pretty pricey -- it's only their dinner menu. But it is a kosher restaurant which is usually costlier. And an 18% tip is added to all checks.We considered leaving, but our iced teas were already on the table. Instead we ordered a combo salad and a grape leaves appetizer to share.First we were given a bowl of pickled cabbage and carrots for the table. Then came 2 pieces of pillowy hot pita bread. Then the combo plate with two different eggplant -- one a chopped eggplant salad and the other babbaghanoush; plus tehina (sesame seed paste -- like nut butter) and hummus (from chick peas) and some red roasted peppers. My favorite was the hummus. Our order of grape leaves came next -- served hot;they were stuffed with rice and herbs; although we'd been told they had beef in them, there was no meat. A plate with four fried felafel balls came next -- which we weren't expecting but we were told that came with the combo. We added salt to everything and mixed and matched bits of the pickled cabbage and peppers to torn off corners of pita to make different combo mini sandwiches. We were stuffed. The dips could have used a bit more pizzazz but were still ok. And it would have been nice to get a refill on our iced tea... service was pleasant. It was not very busy."
"Recently visited the NEW Motek on Miami Beach. Im definitely a Motek lover and always enjoy visiting, happy to see all these new locations popping-up in South Florida! The Miami beach location is no exception, beautiful decor, nice service & great food. I was wowed by the artichoke & goat cheese flatbread, and the crispy eggplant. They currently don't have a liquor license, so you can bring your own! Look forward to visiting again soon!"
"Dixie BBQ is a barbecue place with pretty good food, however be advised that it is a bit expensive. Actually, a bit more than "a bit expensive," but it is what it is.Overall, it was OK food, but the price was a bit high for what it was and nothing really stood out about my total experience. I guess that I will give it three stars."
"I am only in the area,for like 4 days so I told my friend, " take me to a place that makes their own hummus"I guess I was feeling adventurous because I told him I also want a middle eastern place that serves wings so I can take some for my family before everything gets shut down for nye and new years.We sampled the falafel and the home made hummus and they gave us a party tray of wings to go which we ordered so everyone at home would not be jealous since we went out to dinner..they gave us the option of having it not seasoned just marinated in sauce ....I really liked it and will be back to sample more. The rest of my peeps loved the humongous tray of wings we brought back with us."
"We met friends from Minnesota who were visiting Florida here for dinner. He is a vegetarian and she's a pescatarian and they are both kosher. This was their choice of restaurants. The restaurant is kosher. My husband and I shared a felafel platter. First off they bring a dish of pickled veggies to the table and a basket of fluffy pita -- even before you order. I really like the beet marinated turnips. Some of the "pickles" were a bit spicy for me but my husband liked them all. The felafel were wonderful. Perfectly cooked and still moist inside. You got to choose six salads from the "bar". We selected hummus, Israeli salad, babaganoush, beets, and a chunky eggplant. My favorites were the hummus and the eggplant. We were given extra pita as well. In addition, we got a side of beans and rice. The white beans were soft and flavorful as was the rice. My husband brought half home and had with his eggs the next day for breakfast (!). Our friends had a veggie platter and a salmon pita wrap. The veggie platter was their choices from the salad bar. The salmon was hot and freshly cooked and served as a sandwich with condiments added. They didn't have the knafeh (listed on the online menu) that my husband likes, but they did have bobka (cake) that looked great -- although we were too full to try it. Kosher food -- especially the meat dishes -- are exceedingly expensive now. Not being kosher, I had no clue, so some of the menu prices are a bit of a shock. However, if you stick to the appetizers and smaller dishes, and share, (portions are large) you will be okay price wise.I have a friend who lives near by and likes middle eastern food. I told her about this place and we are already planning to come here."
"8/31/23Tried the new Street Hibachi Restaurant in Aventura. The restaurant is beautiful. It is decorated in a modern Asian theme. I tried the crispy chicken buns and the green curry with tofu. Other people at the table had the jalapeño Hamachi, fried fish appetizers, etc. Everything was delicious. The service was very nice but they may have gotten overwhelmed since we were a large group, my e tree was served before the appetizer but they were both so delicious.I would definitely go back."
