    Food hall with a difference
    Keith H.

    Authentic which means limited English. Located in ultra smart mall in 5star food court. Food very good. Moroccan mint tea hit the spot and beef brisket ultra soft and well cooked if somewhat Wet(?). Turmeric cauliflower in display counter and reheated to order. Israeli salad as ever really good. We sat at bar but also to go but we're not given knife or fork or asked if what we ordered was good. So in summary. Good food. Great location. Ok service

    Chicken Shawarma Platter

    This restaurant is located in a pretty upscale food hall in a very upscale outdoor mall. They serve Mediterranean food. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. It was good. I was impressed with the presentation. I wasn't expecting the multiple tiers of food. All in all a pleasant experience. The food is a little pricey... But, it was good.

    Baklava

    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.

    We ate here with friends the other day. Items consumed were the brussels sprouts, baklava, hummus / pita, falafel and a brisket pita. The food was very good. I especially enjoyed the brussels sprouts, which were sweet and savory. I did not sample the brisket pita or the baklava. Larry S. reported that the brisket pita was absolutely delicious and was an ample serving size with plenty of non-greasy meat. Why is this not a 4 or 5 star review? They charged an auto-tip of 18% AND charged extra for take away (the brisket was consumed off premises) without providing napkins. A service charge shouldn't be assessed without providing service, and if they are charging for take away, all of the associated accoutrements should be provided. While I will return to MIA Market, I won't patronize Jaffa again. The pricing for the food is fine as it's high quality, but the "extras" are not worth it. It felt too nickle-and-dimey.

    This was one of the best middle eastern Israeli meals I had in my life and I am from Israel! The food was incredible and the hospitality! Highly recommend and gladly come back again

    Falafel Platter
    Jacqueline T.

    This is the second place we tried at the MIA Market and it was another miss for us. We ordered the falafel platter which was beautiful. It came with hummus, pita, pickles, and a tomato/cucumber salad. Everything was just kind of bland. I wouldn't say it was necessarily bad, it just didn't have much flavor. I love hummus and falafel, but these were just not great. This was another place that felt pretty expensive too. I would skip this place and market when in Miami and find better food elsewhere.

    What a great find! If you want some BOMB hummus, come here ASAP. Hummus hummus hummus hummus hummus perfection. The pita is excellent too. If you get a chance, chat with the owner, great guy!

    Jaffa Restaurant/Hallandale - Outdoor seating

    Highly recommend Jaffa Restaurant!! We visited the Atlantic Village in Hallandale within 2-weeks of opening this new location. Five+ stars for cleanliness, ambiance, décor and service!! They also have the ideal menu; offering both unique/fusion dishes and authentic Middle Eastern favorites. Due to the size of our party, we decided to go mezze/tapas/family-style and ordered lots of different menu items. I can honestly say that everyone was impressed at how authentic and delicious everything was. Being that my hubby is Middle Eastern, I can vouch for it's authenticity. As for me, I will be returning very soon and ordering the Turmeric Cauliflower with Zaatar Tahini all to myself!

    After walking the whole MIA market twice since it was my first time there, I decided Jaffa had to be it because of my wife's veganism and my love for Israeli and Middle Eastern food as a whole. Having been to Israel three times, most recently end of 2019, and having grown up with great spots in Puerto Rico and Boston, my experience with fresh hummus has led to a high standard and boy did they deliver. The meat kebabs and hummus were very well seasoned and filling. Cannot wait to go back and will likely call on them to cater an event in the future.

    Absolutely wonderful food ! The owner was so kind and gave us five stars Israeli service! I ordered some shawarma and rice bowl and it was great!

    I came from San Diego and was looking for a good hummus place. I was very impressed with the great service and with the amazing food! I ordered the hummus with shawarma and it came in a beautiful impressive display tray! I highly recommend it and definitely be back to eat there!

I went for the first time today and there were literally 10 out of the 26 places open. The third floor is completely closed down which is understandable if the idea is to move all the current vendors up to the third floor and create a sports bar on the main floor which is what I was told by one of the last standing vendors...and I hope this is true because otherwise it's a sign that the doors will be closing soon because they simply cannot maintain with 3 floors and only 10 working vendors. We walked in, kind of in shock because the place was completely empty. There were approximately 4-6 customers eating at 2 spots, the main bar was open but all employees were on their phones waiting for business. We nervously circled the main floor then headed up to the second floor to see if anything caught our eye... the Fookem's Fabulous - Pie Vending Machine was empty and shut down...so sad I wanted to try it..so then we headed back down to the first floor where we stopped to ponder..what's the food quality like if they aren't moving products because there are literally no people buying... but bravely continuing on, we stopped at Chicken Bras and got 2 chicken empanadas for $9 they were fried fresh but a little salty in my opinion and then to B&D's Texas Bbq. We tried the platter that comes with 3 meats- Brisket, smoked turkey, and pork ribs, 2sides - Mac and cheese and potato salad and we did an add on of 1 piece of cornbread, and 2 drinks $68 all in.. everything was mid.. not great, not bad..(except the potato salad may have been old, it was a little sus) The main dining area has high top tables but all the fabric seats are old, stained, and the foot bars are busted.. the dining upstairs has low tables but the seats had crumbs and questionable residue. Would I return? Absolutely the heck not. This place had its day and now food halls are just a thing of the past I guess unless Jon Taffer can come up with a kitschy concept to bring it back to life...

The concert was for Bryson Tiller and the line wrapped around a few blocks and buildings. Seeing this, I had high doubts all those people could fit into Oasis but once inside, everyone fit with room to spare! This venue is super cute and spacious although a bit rough for concerts, especially if you're short in height. A lot of people were standing on anything that was elevated such as furniture, umbrella stands, and even planters! If you're trying to just catch a vibe and don't find it important to be in the front or see the performer, I think this venue is still good. VIP for concerts were bleachers to the side of the stage which looks to be worth it if you really want to see the performer. Other than for concerts, Oasis has food and beverage options along with spots to shop at that are open on a regular basis. Overall a very cute spot within Wynwood!

I'm so glad I took the recommendation. First and foremost, downtown Miami is nothing like it was over 10 years ago. The transformation is incredible. The skyline is filled with stunning high-rise buildings, beautiful hotels, clean streets, and the entire area feels modern, upscale, and safe. It's immaculate and a completely different vibe from South Beach. After visiting, I can honestly say my next trip to Miami will likely be centered around Brickell instead. As for Brickell City Centre itself, it's an impressive, world-class shopping destination. The mall is beautifully designed, spotless, and home to just about every luxury and popular retail brand you can think of. The selection of shops and restaurants is excellent. Most of the dining options are located on the upper level, although you'll find additional restaurants scattered throughout the mall. The open-air design, connected by escalators, makes it easy to navigate, and there's even a movie theater on the top floor. The center is divided into the East and North Blocks, which are well connected. My only complaint was getting an Uber after my visit. Finding the mall was easy, but getting picked up was another story. I waited over 15 minutes because the app repeatedly directed my driver to a different pickup location. I was standing outside the East Block near the Nespresso boutique, yet my driver kept being routed toward the North Block near Bally. If you're planning to use Uber or Lyft, allow yourself some extra time and double-check the designated pickup location before requesting your ride.

Overall, it's a cool place to walk around, shop, and hangout for a day.
