    Everyone raves about this place so we went here once to give it a try and left disappointed. The appetizers were good but the entrees weren't. The lamb was overcooked and the chicken dish was bland. Maybe we were a one-off experience but we just don't see what the hype is all about. I went with 4 other women who all felt the same way so I'm not a Karen, I promise! lol I love showcasing the best of Miami so find me on IG @ chloexmorgann

    Delicious food and super refreshing cocktails. The salads are solid too. They really should add an authentic Turkish soup though, kind of surprising it's not on the menu. Other than that, everything was good. Next time I will sit at the bar!

    Amazing!! One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have been too. We ordered a bunch of food and everything was amazing! My favorite was the tomato salad, grouper ceviche and the roasted cauliflower. The pita bread that comes out is delicious and warm. The beet dip is amazing. The pistachio lamb skewer was really good but we would try something else next time. The wood fired chicken was also very good and the salad it comes with was delicious. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the glazed eggplant. I would probably get the doya eggplant next time. They were amazing with my shellfish allergy and were very nice about kids. We sat outside the atmosphere and vibe was great and the service was awesome. Will be back for sure.

    Parking in Wynwood can feel a little sketchy when you first pull up -- lots of nightlife, lots of energy, and not the easiest area to find a comfortable spot. That said, once we stepped into this Lebanese spot in Wynwood, the entire vibe changed. The space is beautiful in a relaxed, unpretentious way. The patio is spacious and charming, with simple tablecloths that make it feel welcoming rather than overly trendy. It's the kind of place where people linger over plates and conversation. I was visiting Miami and honestly didn't want to dress up or overthink dinner -- just wanted something authentic and satisfying. This place delivered. Before ordering, I asked our server a few times which options were halal, and he kindly reassured me that the lamb was. That kind of attentiveness immediately made the experience more comfortable. We ended up sharing a larger platter with lamb, fries, and plenty of bread. The food was simple in the best possible way: great spices, flavorful sauces, and really well-cooked meat. The eggplant fatteh and Beirut hummus stood out, and the grilled octopus was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and balanced without trying too hard. Service was warm and attentive -- water glasses refilled without asking, quick check-ins to make sure we had everything we needed, but never hovering. We couldn't finish everything and happily took home extra bread along with some meat and fries. It turned into one of those unexpectedly lovely Miami evenings: good food, easy atmosphere, and a place you'd happily return to with friends. Wynwood may feel chaotic outside, but inside this spot it's all hospitality, flavor, and a reminder of how comforting a simple, well-executed me

    Thank God for Doya - what an outstanding restaurant. The vast, tapas-style menu keeps you wanting to come back for more and more and more. I'm sure you could go there a couple of days in a row and try something completely new each time. It's amazing really!   Food was so flavorful, and so interesting. I got to try things I would never have thought to put together (short-rib baklava) and marvel at solid takes on well-loved favorites (lamb chops).   Places like these remind me of the beauty of dining and that sometimes, paying a little extra does in fact get you an outstanding meal. Thank you Doya.

    I went to dinner here with hubby and we both enjoyed it. Our server was very helpful and gave great tips to round out our meal. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe, with a large bar in the center. It is priced quite high, which has become typical of "it" places to go to.

    **Vegetarian Friendly** Went to Doya after a year, and noticed they updated their menu with a handful of new items - majority of them being vegetarian friendly so we were tempted to give this place another chance. (1) Turkish Flatbread - They replaced pita with the flatbread/tortillas. The flat bread is served cold, and just doesn't complement the dips like pita bread does. Huge thumbs down. (2) Doya Delight - Labneh was delicious and the sweetness from honey complemented well. (3) Green Goddess - It was a good blend between a tzatiki and feta, but was hoping for a robust flavor with herbs, but it just fell flat. (4) Brussel Sprouts - they skimped on the sauce/dressing that this was just roasted veggies now. (5) Muhammara - same as before. It's good, but not great. Overall, food is still okay. It was already overpriced, but now it's astronomically overpriced now. I would rather dine elsewhere at these prices.

    I agree with the other reviews about the hostess being a bit unwelcoming. I went there Wednesday night by myself and asked for a table for one. I was given the directions to the bar. I went back to them to cross check if that's what they meant and yes they were. There didn't give me a table inspite of many vacant tables. It's a week night and only one third of the tables were occupied. I understand if they didn't have enough staff to cover the tables or if they had a different reason. But the way they handled it was a bit disappointing I was too tired by then and already paid for the parking so ended up ordering the food. I had Beyti (lamb wrapped in lavash) and I liked it. It's also my first time trying it. The service at the table was good though. On my way to the washroom, I saw that it's a Michelin restaurant. I was even more surprised.

    The vibe and ambiance of this place is very nice. Beautiful interior with lots of greenery and nice ambient lighting. I came just for the short rib baklava. It was pretty good but definitely could've used some additional components such as a seasoning some spice or a hot honey over the top. That would've made it much better IMO. Happy I got to try it though.

    Short-rib Baklava

    Came here for my birthday dinner! Was surprised to see so many people out on a Monday night. Our seat was in a horrible spot, our waiter even called it i95. People walked by nonstop and stood next to us to let others pass. The ambience was high energy and lots of talking. We couldn't really be part of that vibe due to our seat. We sat right next to the fish, the first table. We asked to be moved since we had a reservation and the girls up front said "no that's the only table we had." Definitely saw available tables, but that's OK. We started with the green goddess with their homemade bread. It was so delicious and creamy with great amount of dill - we added more of the house EVOO. The branzino carpaccio was just OK the pesto dried it out. The mussels were really good bathed in a white wine sauce. The star of the show and I would come back just to have this was the short-rib baklava. It was so buttery and flakey and the short rib fell apart. Overall, I can't give this place a 5 stars, but somewhere one might wanna try if in the area.

    As someone who absolutely LOVES Greek food & never tased Turkish food this place is a must recommend. We went at 4pm which was the perfect time before packed dinner time and we had the most perfect server Luana! Luana was so on point with her recommendations, literally circled and scratched off the must on the menu, and was extra special when bringing out meals. I love going to a place where you can tell the server enjoys the food just by the way she talks about it. Now let's get to the delicious food & drinks.... I had a sangria (which was heavy and so him), & my girls had a margarita and the berry spritz drink. The berry spritz drink was so sweet and fruity and tasted like juice! For food we did a few appetizers and a few meals. We ordered by what Luana recommended not just the overhyped food. The short rib baklava is a guest favorite & O M G I am still thinking about it. So creamy and the short rib was so juicy. We then moved on to the baked feta with lavash bread. Perfect start to our early dinner, the feta had a hint of honey at the end and it was just calling my name for more. We also got the house Greek salad, which was beyond fresh. The salad brings these huge chunks of tomatoes and as someone who doesn't really enjoy tomatoes, once mixed with the feta, green and dressing I ate it up. Lastly, another favorite was the yogurt kebap. This meal was so creamy and crunchy and tasty, I'm still thinking about it. Overall, I would definitely come again. Keep in mind, you can only be seated for 2 hours which we eventually found out after. This is a great place for a date night or a meal with friends and it's very on the "tapas" side! Valet parking was $20 and so worth it if you're not a fan of parallel parking!

    Doya is a lively and busy spot nestled in the middle of wynwood. We were seated immediately after checking in with a reservation. The food came out pretty quick and was delicious. I ordered the combo board to get a taste of everything. The lamb chops were definitely the star. Would come back again to try more mezze items

    Yogurt kebab
    Rachel W.

    The short rib baklava and yogurt kebab were delicious! We ordered several small plates to share but these were the clear winners. The beetroot hummus and branzino (both cold dishes) were just ok but still get points for being very fresh. Really enjoyed the pita bread that was paired with the hummus. Really great service and ambiance. Definitely worth a visit!

    Is it good for kids? Or are there even any kids?

    There were kids in the restaurant, but its not typical food a child would usually eat in my opinion

    Is there happy hour?

    No Happy Hour menu or prices but their bar is gorgeous

    Are dogs allowed in their outside patio area?

    Was there again on Friday, May 19th at night and a big dog passed our table. So I assume yes, but ask them when you make your reservation to make sure

    Is their outdoor patio covered? What happens if it rains?

    They have some umbrellas , but I don't think they covered the whole patio

The moment we walked in, we were transported right back to Greece. The décor is beautiful and authentic without feeling forced. Every detail adds to the charm of the space. We decided to keep things light and ordered the zucchini chips along with a special appetizer featuring whipped feta, roasted eggplant, arugula, and pistachios. Both dishes were excellent. The whipped feta dish was bright, fresh, and packed with flavor, while the zucchini chips were perfectly cooked they were light, crisp, and addictive. My daughter ordered the non-alcoholic dragon fruit "martini" and absolutely loved it. It was tropical, refreshing, and felt like a special treat. I went with the white sangria. It tasted a little more watered down than I expected, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable on a warm Miami afternoon. The service was excellent throughout our visit, and the atmosphere alone makes this place worth a stop. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and attentive staff, Mandolin is a place I'll happily return to the next time I'm in Miami.

Seating is mostly outdoors and beautifully decorated, definitely a nice selection for an intimate event. Service was wonderful! The spanakopita was nicely flaky, the spinach filling wasn't overly bitter or pungent (my boyfriend is not a fan of strong feta flavors and enjoyed this while I am a feta enthusiast, we felt that this was right in the middle of our demands which worked great). We both love moussaka which is what my boyfriend ended up getting, dare we say it was our favorite moussaka out of any Greek restaurant in America thus far (coming from New Yorkers frequently visiting Astoria). It was broiled to perfection to give the cheese/béchamel layer a light crunch at the top and maintaining that richness underneath. The eggplant and ground meat were well seasoned. I really enjoyed my stuffed peppers as well (rice pilaf, ground beef, and feta on top), the tomato broth/sauce gave a nice sweet and savory flavor with the meal. Finally, a superb pistachio baklava, 10/10. Super impressed with what Miami had to offer for Mediterranean.

Even after paying, the staff continued to make sure we had water and asked if we needed anything else. This small gesture meant a lot. Sufrat has a great happy hour menu that ends at 6 PM. I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.

We ordered the beef kabobs, which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was a major disappointment.

That said, we would still recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service, and many of the other menu items -- just skip the steaks.

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 this place was such a vibe! The ambiance was beautiful, the energy was great, and it felt like…read morethe perfect spot for a night out. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked so well, but the lamb was definitely the standout for me. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the kind of dish where every bite just melts. We also loved the other dishes we tried and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the food and the overall experience!

    We came for a late dinner on a Saturday night and were delighted to find reservation availability…read morefor the 3 of us still. We were whisked inside to the intimate, dimly lit interior with a DJ table tastefully tucked away in the back of the space. Service was welcoming but overall, not quite as warm and attentive as I've experienced at other places in town. We started off with the Turkish Manti Dumplings, which were the standout of the night. The complexity yet restraint of flavor, balancing indescribable buttery, roasted, earthy notes with a touch of umami and subtle tanginess from the yogurt. The Mezze Sampler was a nice option for trying three of the dips. All very tasty, but I've had slightly better elsewhere. The Sweet Jeweled rice was the other standout with flavor and textural variety that made each bite pop. I found the Roasted Brussels Sprouts undercooked and lacking the same level of flavor as the other plates. The weakest dish of the evening. The Grilled Whole Bronzino got top marks from the meat eaters at the table. Overall, 4/5 stars for a delicious meal but with tough competition around town limiting my ability to hit that 5.

    Meraki is a beautiful restaurant with truly authentic and delicious Greek food! And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

    Oh my God where do I start! We had the best date night. This place is so amazing. I went with low…read moreexpectations given my knowledge and experience with mediterranean food in miami: small portions, bland taste. This is completely different and out of this world! The food is super tasty, super fresh, portions are adequate without paying a steep price. The salad: we got a greek salad, it was way bigger than what we expected, the tomatos and feta cheese were delicious and my fiance thought that this was the star dish. Its not your basic salad. The waitress prepared it right infront of us and cut fresh tomatos and veggies on a station. Saganaki: must order, this was my favorite dish. Even though its such a simple ingredient (cheese) the flavor is crazy, they torched it and heated it infront of us and we couldn't stop eating it Souvlaki: the chicken was delicious, we got two full skewers, they serve it with fries and their special sauce which is so delicious! Even the fries were delicious and well seasoned! Octopus: this was mind blowing, especially with the meraki sauce. This is technically an appetizer but feels like a whole dish!! And its only for $24 whereas other places tend to overcharge! We had planned to order more but by that time we were full. The menu is rich and there is still so much to try. We will be heading here more frequently and sharing with you our dishes!! 5 stars well deserved! Instagram: @ri_reviews961

    What a great find! We were in the area and searched Yelp. This location popped up…read more We were there during happy hour and enjoyed the outdoor patio. The happy hour menu was fantastic with all $5 plates. We ordered drinks and a couple items. Then ordered more. Awesome tasting food as well as the service. There is a parking garage directly connected and the restaurant does add 20% service tip. This spot is now in our favorites list. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

    We just bought a home in Coral Gables and have been staying in a hotel for three weeks while…read morepreparing to move in. During that time, we made the mistake of trying Mortex Mediterranean, and it was an absolute disaster from the moment we walked in. The server was rude, untrained, and clueless -- she couldn't answer basic questions about the food and came back five minutes after dropping off our plates asking if we needed a to‑go box. We hadn't even started eating. My wife's dish and mine were passable, but the $39 wagyu burger for my 10‑year‑old was so bad he couldn't eat it and ended up crying. The fries were beaten up, stale, and tasted like they'd been reheated three times. When I told the waitress, she brushed it off with a useless "okay" and walked away. No apology, no fix, no manager -- nothing. For a city like Coral Gables, this place is an embarrassment. Terrible service, cheap ingredients, premium prices, and zero accountability. Even my son said we should've gone to Shake Shack because at least they respect customers and serve edible food. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's garbage -- poorly trained staff and low‑quality ingredients pretending to be a real dining experience.
