Salt Cafe Miami Beach

★★★★☆ 4.2 (197) • $$

"Walked Miami Beach with friends and eventually needed food. We thought Salt Cafe looked good..... it's the lower level of a hotel... but didn't feel that way. Beer was slim pickings... Heineken. Menu is small but doable. Friend had the avocado toast and a nice change to just avocado toast was it came with 2 poached eggs and smoked salmon. My other friend had the mahi with vegetables. I had the ahi tuna burger but seeing a wrap on the menu asked them to put it in a wrap instead of on a bun. It was delicious. Came with fries.Our server Jonathon was a delight to talk to. He was very attentive as well, always filling the water. Great experience! Yummy food!"

Sufrat Mediterranean Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (71) • $$

"I came late Sunday as I was in the area and decided to have a little snack before heading back home.I found this place as I've been to their Pembroke location and I was craving some hummus and baba ganoush.We ordered takeout. The place is smaller than the Pembroke one but it looks nice and tidy!We ordered some hummus and baba ganoush. They come with warm, fresh pita bread.Both were delicious just like the ones in Pembroke!! Creamy, fresh, and well-seasoned!!Love it!"

Pita Plus of Aventura

"We came here for lunch, my companions from class suggested this place.They had the chicken pita sandwich and I had the hummus salad for 16.00.The hummus didn't have much flavor and the salad was not to my liking.My companions liked their food but I guess I am a picky when it comes to a salad.Do give them a try and see if you like their food. The service was good and fast. One orders the food and you pick it up and bring it to your table.The restaurant is clean and parking is ample."

Mazza Kitchen

"I was pleasantly surprised how good this place was. I was in the area and needed to grab some quick dinner. The staff were friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in. The have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating on a small patio in the back. I ordered falafels, rice, and spicy feta. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the falafels! I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area"

Kalimera Greek and Lebanese Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (46)

"Excellent food and fantastic hospitality from the staff. Sadly, I didn't take any photos of the food and got right to eating however I can say that the lamb platter was cooked to perfection. I hope to return to enjoy more food and take some pics."

Tania's Table

★★★★★ 4.6 (25) • $$

"Imagine your mom being an amazing cook. You come home for lunch and you have a delicious plate of Sesame Seared Tuna on Soba Noodles a side salad and freshly made iced tea. Guess what? You can have a homemade meal prepared to perfection every day at Tania's Table. Tania entertains guests in her small, homey setting. Grab a table or sit at the bar and chat with the wonderfully welcoming staff. They have a different menu every day so you'll never get tired of the same food and you'll be forced to try one of their newer ensembles.If you're a dessert lover... have the Dulce de Leche Tower... it towers above all others. I swear.Check out their site. They also cater. They also make challah on Fridays. They also have Kosher meat, so they have it all... bon apetit!"

Elia Cafe & Mediterranean Products

★★★★☆ 4.3 (30)

"After dropping a girlfriend off at the airport, I was looking around to have some healthy food before hitting up the spa. I have tried the places a cross the street but never noticed Elia. I parked in the street, plenty of (you supposed to - paying) spots. I walked in and was welcomed. I looked around at what they offered and only noticed the menu on a printed paper at the counter. There is no display of their food menu. In crayon there is a beverage menu but I had to assume it is for their smoothies by the names, no details given anywhere on what is exactly in the smoothies.I ordered the Elia signature wrap with grilled chicken, arugula, tomatoes and their signature feta spread. It looked beautiful in the tomato wrap. Super healthy! And a large amount of chicken in it that is perfectly seasoned. On the side there was also a delicious citrus light dressing that matched perfectly with the wrap.The only thing I missed was a water station. There was none and as soon as I had my food everyone disappeared in the kitchen. I assume they don't offer water so you would buy one of the waters, teas or sodas?....There is one table of four and then also two high top tables that provide condiments and napkins.The food was ready fast and delicious. A Greek radio station was playing American eighties hits while I was devouring my wrap."

Kalamata Mediterranean cuisine

★★★★★ 4.7 (197) • $$

"If you read my reviews cleanliness is my number 1 PRIORITY at an establishment.Everywhere in this restaurant spotless clean. Amazing location, great service and fantastic restaurant.It is bunch of restaurants on the block, you have options. There is Japanese, Italian, Burger joint and Mediterranean and Turkish.Very refreshing interior, have outdoor seating makes you very comfortable. I must say, its been a while didn't enjoy my dinner as much i did at Kalamata.Very accommodating.Great dishes, grilled octopus, crispy sigara borek, fresh Mediterranean salad.And then Organic Chicken kebab, and Lamb Adana Kebab. Never had a chicken kebab like this, are you kidding me?Then deserts, nice juicy watermelon and of course my almond pudding. Yummm!!! I am not a fan of lemon zest in the pudding, but this one was very light and refreshing. I must say it is a MUST to have that!!Will definitely be back!"

Adrift Mare

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16)

"Was wowed by Adrift Mare during a Yelp Elite Event and had to come back for happy hour. The quality I experienced on my first visit carried over to my happy hour visit, and it was a wonderful experience.A good happy hour menu and I love that it's available later than a lot of other Brickell happy hours. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful views. Plenty of seating available and we were well taken care of by our friendly server.I tried the cava on the happy hour menu and it was delightful and fruity. We also shared the truffle toast and it was a very nice snack for two. For happy hour the prices are a little steep. You're getting very good quality food and drink plus lovely ambiance though."

Istanbul Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (274)

"I stopped by Istanbul Restaurant while on Hollywood Beach on a recent Sunday. It's a cozy little nook on the boardwalk with Turkish football (soccer) and posters on the wall. My friend ordered a doner kebab gyro, and I just went for tapas and dessert since I had eaten elsewhere.The pita bread I had was fluffy, and the grape leaves had a nice tangy, citrusy taste. I believe these were just filled with rice though served with fresh tomato slices. The hummus did taste like fresh chick peas though the portion was on the small side. It was my first time trying Turkish coffee - different from the coffee in that it's more finely ground to the point of a thicker & almost powdery taste. I will say it was it was really potent, as it kept me up late! My turkish ice cream ("Maras dondurma") was yummy with fresh pistachio grounds and just the right amount of sweetness. The consistency was a little thicker than ice cream here in the US.The service was fairly attentive and with decent recommendations. They do charge automatic gratuity like almost every beachside spot."

Strawberry Moon

"Loved their happy hour and their decent room of bites ! It's used to be limited but now they are more flexible . I remember when happy hour was on in the pool area then it loved to just the bar ."

Izgara Mediterranean Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (556) • $$

"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."

Hummus Achla

Marash Turkish Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (267) • $$

"Excellent Turkish food. Super authentic. I came for a birthday dinner so got to sample a bunch of dishes. Honestly, everything was very good and extremely fresh. I'm still dreaming of the shepherd salad. Also, get the kunefe for dessert. Service is very friendly and prices are great. I hope to be back during my next Miami trip!"

Amal

★★★★☆ 4.1 (294) • $$$

"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!"

Ha-Temania

★★★★☆ 4.4 (10)

"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!"

The Greek Joint Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (524) • $$

"This was my first visit to The Greek Joint. I turned to Yelp, of course, when the restaurant one street over was completely booked. I love Greek food, so It was worth a try! The staff was friendly and very attentive, from the first moment until the end. The food was very good, and the prices on par with other restaurants in the area, but maybe slightly higher than expected compared to other Greek restaurants. The dip Platter was a great starter, I loved the spicy fetta spread the best. The stuffed grape leaves were really good, but not what we were expecting. They were warm with a combination of rice and meat, topped with a creamy lemon sauce. My husband had the gyro, sorry he didn't let me get a pic before he tore into it. It was filled with meat, tomatoes, onion, and a healthy serving of tzatziki. His fries were thick and crispy; it also came with a small side salad. I chose 2 separate items rather than an entree. The Spanokopita was tasty with the flaky filo and plenty of spinach filling. My salad was huge, but not what I expected, as there was not your typical lettuce base, which is what I was looking for. It was good, but again, not as expected. I think more details on the menu would be helpful, especially for items that may be different from the norm. We skipped dessert as the items listed weren't typical Greek desserts, which was a bit disappointing, but we were full anyway. I would definitely return though, especially for a casual lunch."

Aladdin Mediterranean Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (106) • $$

"A couple of days back I went to lunch here with some coworkers who do not believe in taking pictures of food and such. I enjoyed it then, and this came back by myself recently. Aladdin Mediterranean consists of both an Arabic grocery store /bodega, as well as a few tables for sit down meal . There's a TV on the wall streaming middle eastern music and variety shows. The very friendly and personable owner greets you and attends to you himself. During both visits, of course, I satisfied my sweet tooth with their flaky yummy pistachio and almond baklava. Whether you enjoy it right on your meal, or to take it later to eat at the office, this is a must.My most recent lunch was both their chicken and hummus lunch plate & a bowl of vegan red lentils. The chicken was well seasoned and a good portion for lunch while the bed of hummus had a great nutty taste and a mild touch of heat from I believe red peppers. Along with my soup, it was great for mixing with the fresh pita bread served. As mentioned with the bodega component, there are plenty of goods for purchase including various type of olives, pastries and dates among other halal products. I would definitely recommend!"

PERL by Chef IP

★★★★☆ 4.2 (106)

"Stopped by here on my birthday, 4/26, hoping they would be good for lunch. Nope they weren't, they were superb. The host, the server(Andrew) , the ambiance were outstanding. The food was flavorful, delicious. The broccolini was superb & so were the red snapper tacos. I ate outside which was a great choice. They have a bird in the cage above. Stop by here...u will not regret it."

Sea Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (148) • $$$

"Is it Greek? Is it Italian? It's delicious! Great selection of Italian and Greek food topped with great food and good portions. The place can get loud and hot if it's packed. And getting a table can be tricky so make sure you make a reservation, specially if you are trying to go on busy weekends. Service was very good and the food was brought out in a timely manner. The lentil soup was delicious and the Quattro formaggi gnocchi was exactly as I remember from Il Villagio which apparently has become part of this restaurant. Pricey but worth it!"

The Drexel

★★★★★ 4.6 (69)

"It has taken me too long to visit this restaurant and I'll be sure to not wait too long to return. Love the ambience, service was stellar and the food was excellent. My cocktail was delicious - similar to a Hugo Spritz. The grilled octopus was delicious and tender, the roasted eggplant was good but the star was the green salad. That is not a joke...the dressing was well balanced with the sage and citrus, and the greens were so fresh. The skirt steak with fries was a winner as were the lamb chops. To note - it's not really a cucumber salad that accompanies the lamb chops...it's an assortment of herbs with some long slices of cucumber and a few tomatoes. It is good but more of a large garnish than a salad. We were too full for dessert but will definitely be back again!"

Faraon

★★★★★ 4.7 (149) • $$

"Faraon is a Lebanese restaurant located in a strip mall area. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but is nice and clean on the inside. We came Sunday late afternoon after reading some nice reviews and we were promptly and warmly received went we arrived. We ordered the large portions of the hummus, tabbouleh salad, fried kibbeh, grape leaves, falafel and malfouf. The food was very fresh and delicious. The fried kibbeh was really the best of the dishes we ordered. Super tasty! But the highlight of the whole meal was the dessert! The baklava is to die for!!!! Delicious! One of the best I ever had!! Customer service was also very attentive and kind! Akram was really nice and he did a great job!Definitely will come back again!"

Baia Beach Club Miami

★★★★☆ 3.6 (156) • $$$

"Holy cow, these skyline views are incredible! I'm so shocked by the low reviews because I had an amazing time at Baia!! The ambiance and food were both a 10/10 for me! We went at around 7:30 on a Tuesday, there was practically no one in the resturant. We had a drink at the bar, I had the gin & lavender drink which was AMAZING and my boyfriend had a blue drink which was also quite good. We had our pick of the tables since there was nobody there, and sat down about 30 minutes before we expected our friends to arrive (we came early to watch the sunset). Our server was very understanding and didn't rush us to order.We had a party of four and all did the Miami Spice menu to try a bit of everything. Our server was very accommodating and made a lot of helpful recommendations when we asked him. To start we had the octopus, which was SO tender and delicious!! We also had the hummus and salad- both were good. The hummus was served with delicious fried pita bread.For our mains, we had the hanger steak, salmon, and bransino. For our sides we ordered the kalettes, mashed potatoes, truffle fries, and mixed veggies. They were all super yummy. And for dessert we had the cheesecake and flan, both delicious! My favorite bite of the night was probably the octopus.My only grievance would be that there should be more fans, especially over by the bar since there isn't much of a breeze in that area. Otherwise, everything was perfect! I definitely recommend checking out their Miami spice menu, the portions are very generous and the food is great! You won't be disappointed!"

Shukran Mediterranean Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (16) • $$

"Great food truck here in brickell. Their food is great and service is good. Sometimes the wait can be a bit longer than other food trucks but I believe this is due to the amount of people who eat here.They added a tent for a lot of people to sit with shade and view of the water! The trio platter is a greaT lunch special and will leave you fully satisfied for 14$Tip: use Ritual to order to save time! If you need to disconnect for a bit, come here and eat as you face the water and people watch before heading back to the office.Great spot!"

"What a treat to have discovered this place. Thank you Yelpers!Pita Pockets is a hole in the wall tupe of place in an unassuming strip mall in Key Biscayne. You won't see this place from the street...it's at the end of the strip mall.Very high quality products, generous portions and delicious food, served with a smile. How great (and rare) is that in Miami?Happy to support local and independent businesses. I also love how the owner was wearing an American flag T-shirt. Gotta love businesses that love their country. Happy to support these guys and will be back!"

Nude Pita

★★★★★ 4.6 (29)

"This spot may become my new go-to lunch spot. I discovered Nuda Pura via Instagram recently and decided to give it a try - this Greek restaurant is like no other! From Leto friendly, gluten free, and vegan forward options, to authentic Greek/Mediterranean eats, Nude Pura truly keeps authentic rich flavors while keeping it healthy! We tried out a few things which instantly became my favorites: - homemade freshly baked pies - chicken gyro - fries topped with feta - Greek salad Everything was perfectly made and is served in big portions. The food is filled with flavor, fresh and delish. My favorite was the pie because it was just so different from any I've ever tried! (Currently craving it!) Aside from the food, the service and ambiance is so welcoming - with nice floral decorations all over the store and smiles on literally all the servers faces, this place felt like home. My favorite part of all -- their are still so many other things I can't wait to try on their menu and will have to go back soon!"

Levant

★★★★★ 4.6 (115)

"I'd been eager to try Levant since they opened about eight to ten months ago, but barely ever visit the Gables. I was so excited about it in fact that I sent my sister and brother-in-law there during Miami Spice (they loved it). I finally had the chance to visit a few weeks ago on a Thursday night later in the evening after a networking event. We didn't have a reservation and I was concerned they wouldn't be able to seat our party of four, but luckily, there was one table available. Unlike at many Miami restaurants, the staff greeted us warmly when we walked in, which was a very nice touch. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated but feels cozy and not stuffy or pretentious. To start, I had the Midnight Kiss mocktail. It was a little on the sweeter side, but still good. For our appetizer, we shared the Trio Mezzo which consists of Hummus, Muhammara and Cretan Feta. It was delicious!When it came time to order out entrees, I had the Pistachio Kabab, and the other ladies ordered the burger, and the Pumpkin Dolma. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. Although we hadn't intended to order dessert, the staff graciously sent the Chef's Choice over, on the house.Overall, the experience at Levant was perfect and I would undoubtedly return!"

Kiki On The River

"What a fun spot! We loved getting out of Miami Beach and over to the mainland for this spot! So freaking cool. How many restaurants can you go to and literally watch yachts sail by with upbeat music and the occasional yacht that actually docks so the passengers can become guests of the restaurant???Service is remarkable. Our waiter never missed a beat. I mean how could he when the DJ is keeping all the beats going? Honestly, this might have been the most Miami restaurant we ate at. I would 100% make this a necessary stop for anyone visiting especially if it's their first time!The vibe is unbeatable. Trust me."

"This Kosher restaurant located at the MIA Market Food Hall in the Miami Design District offers many healthy options. The modern Israeli cuisine features a diverse lineup of chef driven concepts. We had the Sabich Plate $27 on a three tiered server, the Tumeric Cauliflower $17, and the Moroccan Mint Teapot with two Baklavas $12. Everything was delicious. We ordered at the counter then they brought the food to our table. Service was great."
