Sergio F. "I'm sure you have heard of the expression dinner and a movie right? Well, how about dinner and a language lesson?Deciding to give myself an early birthday treat after a long couple of weeks, I decided to try Ararat for dinner. While they have a few outside tables, their highlight is the formal inside dining room (get reservations!) as well as the bar where I sat. The dining room has a dimly lit, classy romantic vibe. At least Friday nights, there's also a live cover band serenading the crowd with a mix of Russian, Armenian and 80s/90s US ballads. The bar seats were plush and comfortable too.Coming from casual Friday at the office, I was a little more casual. My next visit I will definitely go a little better dressed.Speaking of the bar, my server was my teacher, as she gave me the opportunity to order in Russian. All the dishes I tried were "mnogo vkuzno" Very delicious! I started with the Khinkali Dumplings, delicious pockets of pasta filled with a nicely spicy minced beef & pork with a yummy kick from the coriander and fresh black pepper. My main was a tasty and well presented Chicken Tapaka - similar to rotisserie chicken - in a cast iron pan & garnished with red onions and pomegranate and a dipping dish of a red sauce. The side of jasmine rice had good texture to accompany my meat dish. A fluffy Napoleon with creamy filling, powdered sugar and a fresh berry made for a sweet closing of my dinner."

Barbara G. "I had lunch here yesterday, we live close by and wanted to finally see what the vibe and the food was like. The waitress was super lovely and knowledgeable about the menu. She explained to us the concept , the dishes, she also brought some water out for our dog and a fan bc we sat outside. I thought that was excellent attention to detail and customer service! I believe her name is Andrea. For the food we got the eggplant salad, my boyfriend got the skewers beef/lamb with veggies and I got the chicken skewers with fries and some cabbage that came with it. The eggplant salad was very refreshing and homey. It was great to combat the heat and the flavor was light but delicious ! We really enjoyed it. My boyfriend's skewers were very dry and okay tasting, his veggies had no seasoning or dressing. He didn't love what he ordered unfortunately. My chicken was the highlight show stopper, it was chicken thighs which I love!! So juicy so flavorful!! My fries were cold unfortunately and the cabbage on my plate was also seasonless and had no dressing. I didn't mind too much bc I put the eggplant salad on it and it became flavorful instantly. We were a bit shocked to walk inside and see the refrigerators empty it was a bit strange. The waitress explained to us they are opening the deli side in a few weeks. I would highly recommend the chicken and the eggplant salad, Can't wait to be back when all of it is open!"

Breanna H. "A very posh but beautiful setting right on the beach. This was one of those restaurants that we just happened to stumble upon while walking on the path. We wanted to get a drink and a little bite to eat so we hopped in and we're seated right away. There was a person who brought us our waters. Unfortunately it was hot out and we kept drinking them pretty fast but it took them a little bit of time to refill them. That was one of the things that knocked them down a star was that they were not super attentive to refills. When they would come fill our waters , sometimes they would only fill one or two and then leave the rest of our table with empty glasses . The food was decent we just got little dishes. A drink each and three food dishes cost us 200 dollars. So it definitely wasn't a cheap stop in. But the atmosphere was really nice."

Terri E. "Motek was better than anticipated.The first time we had Motek in Aventura was last year and we were thoroughly impressed with the service, ambience, and food. Our server last time was Hugo and he was on top of everything and so wonderful. Very accommodating as well. We got the Shakshuka and avocado toast last time. Both were divine. I must say the Shakshuka here is the best I've ever had. It had so much flavor and the challah was amazing. We sat outdoors and it was so beautiful out at the time. The patio is always busy.This time, we decided to sit indoors as it was way too hot and humid to sit outside. Our server was David and he was great. We ordered a few different items, including the chicken Shawarma platter, spicy salmon ceviche and fennel pomegranate salad. I saw photos of the chicken Shawarma and opted to try that. So happy we did because it was bomb! I loved that they cut the chicken into small bite-size pieces. The hummus was super smooth and creamy and fresh. The side salad was refreshing. I wish they gave more bread to dip with the hummus and for eating with the Shawarma. We only got one thin piece of naan underneath the chicken and we should've asked for more.The spicy salmon ceviche was on point! I'm so happy we decided to try that. I loved the added texture of bell peppers and other flavors in there. It didn't just taste like citrus but it had a punch of spice and good flavor all in all. Same with the ceviche dish, I wish they provided more bread to eat with the ceviche. The fennel pomegranate salad was also good and refreshing, but we were so full that we didn't get to finish it. I tried to pack the remaining salad, but it kept leaking so eventually I ended up tossing it, which seemed like a waste because I would have loved to finish the leftover later.I would highly recommend as it's a whole vibe here. We love Mediterranean food in general and this is always a good experience thus far. Check it out if you get a chance. They have a new location opening soon in south Miami. Motek is taking over the old Prime Fish location.Love me some Motek! Thanks for great experiences on both visits. I'm seriously impressed."

Julie F. "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."

Sergio F. "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!"

Kendra W. "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."

For mains my wife had the linguine von gole , it was good but could have used more clams and the ones it was served with were slighlty overcooked.

They were very accommodating and patient with the shifting of seats. Staff is super friendly and professional, and although it seems like a small restaurant, it feels bigger and open due to the white walls, murals and portraits of Greece, and big windows. For an establishment that has been around for 50 years, it still looks very enchanting and feels like you're actually in Greece for a moment!The host ordered an array of appetizers, so I got to try the traditional Greek salad, the fried cheese, grilled chicken, pita with hummus, tzatziki, and I want to say the third dip was babaganoush but I could be wrong and think it tastes similar. Afterwards, we were free to order more food so my husband and I shared the lamb skewers (hidden in the sides section of the menu) and Greek sausage. Both were heavenly delicious and packed with flavor! The lamb by itself was already juicy and flavorful, but the owner recommended to have it with tzatziki sauce and it was the cherry on top!This experience was delicious and authentic, we'd definitely come again!"

She suggested the Ferdo Special Platter to share which came with a little bit of everything; protein, rice, salad and hummus along with garlic sauce. We also ordered a side of French fries. While we waited, we enjoyed a glass of delicious Lebanese wine. Our food came out shortly after finishing our wines and we were on our way. With our short time there, the service was great and we'll definitely be back to dine in.When we get home, our food was packaged nicely and it was alllll delicious!

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."

This is a cozy spot with a few inside and outside tables next to one of the classic clubs on the beach. If not 24 hour, they are open pretty late. So yes, they're going to be pricey.Though not in a clubbing day, I stopped Friday night after cocktails nearby, needing some sustenance, and enjoyed their chicken kabob platter with fries and hummus. The chicken was pretty juicy and the fries crispy. My hummus could have been a little richer and / or seasoned like my usual Mediterranean spot but no biggie. Make sure to save space for their baklava in I believe a honey sauce. It's slightly flaky and with a good balanced sweetness. Perfect to complete your recovery dinner!"

Mahsa T. "The food is good, the ambiance beautiful, but the service leaves a bit to be desired. Our server was very grouchy and kept trying to push us toward more expensive items, more expensive wine and even switched an app to a much more expensive entree. I called the manager the day after when I took a closer look at the bill and she was able to adjust for the sneaky upcharges. Took forever to get our wine. The food was delicious, everything from the zucchini and eggplant chips to the fish, but the prices are a bit outrageous. You're paying for the location after all. I did not like the baklava for dessert, it was tough as a rock (not soft and flaky like it should be) and did not taste like any baklava I've ever had. All in all, we probably would have had a much nicer experience here if it hadn't been for our unpleasant waiter. It was three of us (elegantly dressed middle aged ladies celebrating our friend's 50th birthday) and he single handedly ruined the mood and the evening for us. What a shame."

Although usually I go to the regular Full Moon party a little further north, a close friend who lives in the area told me about the dinner party at The Strand for Full Moon night. While there's an indoor dining room, we chose to enjoy the sunset vibe and live music outside on the ocean view terrace. We started with a couple of fruity yet strong cocktail specials they had for their lunar dinner. My impression is they were tropical variations on an old fashioned (mine) and martini (hers), with mixers such as egg white creme & blueberries. The bartender did a great job mixing, as they well blended. For dinner, we shared both their Truffle & Prosciutto, as well as a Strawberry Burratini salad. The prosciutto on the pie was generously portioned, thinly sliced, fresh kale & perfectly aromatic truffles. A creamy ball of straciatella cheese over a bed of kale, sliced strawberries & crunchy walnuts made our salad. Both dishes were light, healthy but tasty.James, our server, and his team were pleasant and attentive with bringing our courses and recommendations. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a pleasantly casual dinner."

I've had great experience with them, so I look forward to trying Zeru for the first time for Miami Spice. The dining room is beautifully decorated, with a high ceiling. I love how there is a little "tree" by each table for people to hang their coats or bags. I wish every restuarant is so considerate!! Besides the three courses on the Spice menu, I was also given an amuse-bouche and some welcome pintxos: a mussel croquette, a pata negra and parmesan croquette, and a mini tomato and serrano ham toast.I have the txangurro for appetizer, which is a crab meat spread, and for my entree the seafood socarrat. The txangurro, while loaded with crab meat, tastes blander than I expected, somehow missing the rich, creamy tomalley that I am used to tasting in other txangurro I've tried before. The seafood, especially the shrimp on the socarrat, was excellent. Shrimp is one ingredient where there's a vast difference between the good and the bad, and this big juicy ones, nicely grilled, is definitely among the best. While I expect the socarrat to be more charred and crispy, like the Persian tahdig or Korean stone pot rice, overall the dish is so delicious I'd love to return for it. It also goes very well with a glass of crispy white.The catalan cream for dessert is light and fluffy, not too sweet.The service is very efficient. There seems to be a team of waiters. As soon as you finish a dish, someone will come and pick up the dishes. Then another will come by to replace the silverware, and then within minutes your next course is brought to you. There is limited street parking available, or you can valet or park in nearby garages."

Their lunch happy hour is one of the best deals and meals in Kendall. You get a full size specialty roll of choosing from nearly any on the regular menu, a choice of salad (wakame or wakame special), choice of soup, and an appetizer. They also do a decent happy hour with some great food specials, but I haven't had a chance to try it. Personal faves: Ike roll, Waku roll, Tuna tacos, and the Yuzu salad."
