The service from the moment you walk in is great. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We stayed inside because it was so pretty. Our server was polite and friendly. We were 3 and ordered a sharing platter and a meal apart from 2 appetizers. We took food home for the next day. Portions are generous. Everything was delicious , flavorful and well cooked. No room for dessert!

Nasif 03-14-2025…read more We recently hosted an engagement party for about 50 guests at Layali Miami, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice for a special celebration. The restaurant offers a beautiful atmosphere that blends elegance with a lively Middle Eastern vibe, making it perfect for a memorable event. From the moment we started planning, the staff was extremely accommodating and professional. They were responsive, flexible with the setup, and helped organize the seating so our group felt comfortable while still enjoying the energy of the restaurant. For a group of around 50 people, the space worked very well and still felt intimate rather than crowded. The food was one of the highlights of the evening. Guests loved the variety of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, especially the fresh mezze, flavorful grilled meats, and delicious desserts. The presentation was excellent and the portions were generous, which made sharing and enjoying the meal together easy for a large group. The ambiance added a lot to the celebration. The music, lighting, and décor created a festive mood that felt perfect for an engagement party. Many guests commented on how unique and fun the environment was compared to a typical restaurant event. Overall, Layali Miami provided great service, delicious food, and a vibrant atmosphere that made the engagement party truly special. If you're looking for a place in Miami that can comfortably host a group of around 50 people while offering a memorable dining experience, this is definitely a venue worth considering.

My husband and I found this restaurant on Instagram and, honestly, we were a little hesitant…read morebecause so much of what you see on social media can be misleading. But we were craving Mediterranean food, so we decided to give it a try and we're glad we did. The food was really good, and John took care of us. His recommendations were excellent and definitely made the experience even better. The atmosphere was nice, and I recommend making a reservation, especially if you want to make sure you can see the belly dance show on Saturdays. The only downside for us was that the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a very good experience and would definitely come back.

Great service from our server, Felipe, who was superb! Very attentive and professional. The lamb chops were delicious! The Moscow Mule yummy. Dessert was a flop. The baklava was gross. It was a cheap version made with what appeared to be croissant as opposed to philo. No honey. Dry and tasteless. I do not recommend.

Nice creamy texture and bold flavor with no need for sugar although you can certainly add it if needed. The service was great and they have an easy walk up order system.

We finished off with the Bayti espresso and mango ice cream. Both were very unique in their own way. Took some desserts to go since we were full. In fact, we had enough food to go. Definitely recommend trying Bayti. I will be back for sure. Loved the family feel and was nicely decorated.

I returned specifically for the appetizers, hoping to recapture what I remembered from my previous…read morevisit. Unfortunately, this experience fell well short of expectations. The lentil soup was remarkably bland and lacked the depth and seasoning that had made it memorable before. The chicken wings were dry and arrived without being tossed in the sauce. I brought the issue to the server's attention after tasting one of the wings and explained that I was a returning customer with very specific expectations of the wings based on my previous experience. His response was a shrug, and the item remained on my bill. I took both the soup and wings home and attempted to rescue them myself--adding vegetables and seasoning to the lentils and air-frying the wings with additional seasoning and sauce. They were considerably better after the intervention. That, unfortunately, was the takeaway: when a restaurant has previously given you something worth returning for, consistency matters. So does acknowledging a guest's feedback when the experience misses the mark. I left disappointed, but perhaps the meal served as a reminder that sometimes the best version is still the one I make at home. The two cold appetizers - hummus and baba ghanoush with pita bread were edible. Disappointed overall.

I have noticed this one on Yelp, but because it is not near my home, I have not taken the opportunity to visit. However, tonight, I was going to be in the area and took the plunge and am I so happy that I did. Talk about a beautiful restaurant that is both welcoming and consistent with the theme of its food and add to that excellent service and the best kebabs and falafel. I have tasted since moving to Florida and you have a real winner here. The Baba Ganesh hummus and other dips are just wonderful. The pita is fresh. I really cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed my meal here. So much so that despite the distance, I will certainly be returning. As a sidenote, I was hesitant when I saw the plaza that the restaurant was in, but think oasis in the desert. Once you walk in your in a world of wonderful food and service.

Casa Mariano is a lovely space with fabulous service and tasty dishes. We went for a late lunch and…read morefirst impression was the dining room was pretty. My only complaint was that the lighting was way too bright but I am guessing for dinner the lighting is more dim and cozy. It is a Mediterranean restaurant so the decor had lots of blues and whites and wood and it all worked. Our server had an emergency and she had to quickly leave but the young man who took over, Wazhun, could not have been kinder. Our food was delicious and nicely prepared. We had the short rib empanadas and they were bursting with a well seasoned and juicy short rib filling. We also ordered the Roasted Cauliflower au gratin and omg was that amazing. Perfectly roasted and tender cauliflower in a creamy, goat cheese sauce but it didn't taste too goat cheesey. The sauce was more creamy with the perfect amount of cheese - amazing. Very delicious. My mom had the lasagna, which had bechamel and bolognese and she was raving about it for days. My sister had the pumpkin ravioli. The raviolis were cooked perfectly and had some crispy prosciutto on top. The delicate sauce was creamy and decadent but not heavy. Naughty but worth every bite. My husband had the lentil and quinoa salad and I never thought I would like those grains together but the lemony dressing and the addition of feta and sun dried tomatoes made a dish that is s very healthy also taste really great. I had the butternut squash salad with salmon and I didn't realize how much I liked it until I stopped to take a sip of my wine and the salad was almost gone. The salmon was a generous portion, cooked perfectly and was on the side. The squash was sweet, sliced into thin rounds and presented almost like carpaccio with arugula and goat cheese on top and the maple dressing tied it all together. We also ordered a delicious, crisp, and earthy bottle of Sicilian wine and finished off our meal with a creamy, hazelnut tiramisu. All in all a fantastic meal and we will be back.

The reservation process was easy, when I called to ask about the corkage fee ($25), they answered quickly and directly. Upon arrival, we were seated in the adjacent room since the main dining area was full, but the secondary room was comfortable and quiet, with only one other table in use. Our server was extremely friendly, offered thoughtful recommendations, and gave us plenty of space to enjoy our food and wine. Their wine glasses are excellent, and everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. We started with the Ossobuco Croquettes, truly some of the best we've ever had. For the main course, we ordered the special of the day: an apple wood short rib braised for eight hours, served with risotto and a Caesar salad. The combination was phenomenal. The short rib was incredibly rich, generously portioned, easily enough for two, and we still took a quarter of it home. To finish, we had a honey ice cream with pear tartar that was absolutely off the charts. We had an incredible experience overall. We also met Williams, one of the chef owners, and we're already planning to bring my CWG (Couple Wine Group) back for a blind tasting paired with their fantastic food.
