    We recently went to Amal for a Saturday meal and had a wonderful time.

Our waiter, Mo, was an excellent guide through the menu and provided excellent service. We picked the tasting menu and were delighted with all the different parts of the menu we got to try - my personal favorite was either the Muhamara or the grilled octopus. The ambiance on a Saturday evening certainly evolved more into a club like setting with dancing and live music but we had a fantastic time and would certainly come back!

    I had been excited to try Amal for years. I actually worked in the neighborhood when they were…read morebuilding it during the pandemic, then moved away and never got the chance to go until now. For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

    Wow I really loved this experience. You walk right in & hear beautiful live music. In the few hours…read moreI spent here, we got to experience live singing, piano, guitar, & saxophone. It was magical. I was worried it would be too loud so I wouldn't be able to hear my friends, but not at all! The vibes inside are immaculate dark but cozy. I feel like my sexy book boyfriend would definitely take me here. The staff were fabulous, friendly, helpful, attentive but didn't interrupt the flow of the evening conversation at all. Okay now the food!!! so so so so good. Cabbage Rolls: Perfect Combo of Moist but Crunchy Cigar Rolls: Crunchy, Cheesy, Delightful Three Mezze: Bury me with that bread & give me all the dips Salmon Kabab: NO NOTES, DELICIOUS Adana Kabab: Just Juicy Enough, Seasoned to Perfection Pistachio Kabab: Also good, does have a kick of spice in the after taste Chocolate Baklava: I'll take 12 more please Cheesecake: Wasn't for me. I prefer my cheesecake more solidified & not savory.

The restaurant has 2 levels, there was a large group upstairs celebrating, good for them but they appropriated most of the servers so we were left with only one to take care of all tables on the main floor. He took a long time to come by our table and also take our drink order. The drinks were good so we patiently waited for this server to take our app order. The food was delicious so we let the lack of service pass. After our meal we waited some more to order dessert. Unfortunately when the server finally came by we asked and he said oh the kitchen is closed. We were confused and very disappointed. The least he could've done was advise us of the kitchen closing so we would have time to order dessert. That was a really bad move and we were left dumbfounded. Our bill included a 20% service charge and again I was insulted as I would not have tipped him that much. Food = great Drinks = great Service = lacking

    I recently learned of this place through a friend and have become addicted to their food. It is…read moretruly delicious. It's good to note that while their kubideh(ground beef) kebab is great and probably the best in the Miami area, it is a bit too fatty for my taste but it could be a personal preference. If it was a bit leaner, it would be the perfect kubideh. As for the chicken or the veal kebab, they are as solid as they could be. They are only available for pickup and my recommendation for them is to improve the ordering system. It is my understanding they manually accept their orders and as a result the ordering system times out frequently of the order is not accepted right away on their end, resulting in loss of sales. Overall, Ace Kabah is my favorite middle eastern spot in town and they are in my weekly rotation for either lunch and dinners.

    My goodness--this is the BEST koobideh I've ever had in my life. And I've had a lot of koobideh…read more The food at Ace Kebab in Miami is absolutely phenomenal. If you're visiting the area, it's a must-try. If you're local? Please, I beg you--pray tonight and thank God that this spot is so accessible to you. Seriously. The koobideh is unbelievably juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned--perfection on a plate. Every bite felt like something special. This isn't just food; it's a true experience. Even though it's in a food hall setting, the owner goes above and beyond. He's incredibly kind, warm, and truly cares that every customer is taken care of. You can tell he's passionate not just about the food, but about creating a memorable experience. He made sure we were comfortable, checked in on us, and shared a genuine smile and energy that elevated the whole visit. Oh--and let me not forget: he offered us a spicy sauce, and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best I've had with any meal in a long time. Just the right kick, loaded with flavor, and a perfect pairing with the koobideh. This was hands-down one of the best meals--and best dining experiences--I've had in Miami. Please, please don't miss out on this. You owe it to yourself to taste something this good.
