    Couscous with vegetables, soup.  So delicious

    I finally have a chance to try out this restaurant that I found through my Instagram reels. Everything in the videos looks so amazing and today I came in and it did not disappoint. I came in for a specific dish, which is the couscous with the vegetable soup and it was amazing. Some of the best I've ever had. My husband ordered the fishball dish and it was incredible so full of flavor. The staff is so attentive and sweet. service was excellent. I will definitely come back.

    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.

    Assorted salads for the table

    Great food! Great service! Great Ambiance! Tucked away in the shopping plaza this little restaurant is a hidden gem that you absolutely must try because the food and service was absolutely amazing! We were invited here to celebrate a wedding and we were treated like family by the owner and staff they truly took great care of us. Some of our favorite dishes: Flanken Hummus - homemade hummus with slow cooked super soft and tender meat that was served with pita bread. I've never had hummus served this way with slow cooked beef and it was absolutely incredible. Moroccan Couscous with grilled vegetable soup and chicken - wow this dish was simple but so good. If you're looking for home cooking comfort food this dish is it you're going to love it. Caramelized meatballs - meatballs with caramelized onion sauce served with rice. This dish was absolutely delicious as well. We ordered a bunch of salads for the table as well and everyone enjoyed them. The salads were fresh, homemade, and each one was different and so good on their own or with pita bread. Highly recommend trying their salads for the table if you're with a group. For desert they brought a big platter of assorted deserts served family style with nana (mint) tea and it was the perfect ending to our wonderful meal.

    I love the adventures of dining in South Florida. When a friend suggested Mediterranean for an evening out, I found this little gem here on Yelp. It's a small (and I mean small - maybe seating for 20 plus a table or two outside?) place in yet another strip mall - across from TY Park, for those who know the area. If I had to summarize in one word, I'd have to say this place is "authentic." I've eaten at a number of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants, but there were words on this menu that I've never seen before! We started with an appetizer of frena bread, served with olives, preserved lemon, garlic olive oil and tahini as accompaniments - holy buckets, I've found a new bread to love! You can see the partial remnant in the picture. The special of the day, which my companion ordered, was koubeh (probably spelled differently), in either pumpkin or beet soup. She chose the pumpkin and the bite I had was delicious. I ordered the chicken with couscous, was accidentally served the vegetable soup with couscous (shown in the picture - the tagine held the couscous). Our server, Hadar quickly and graciously corrected the order after I realized that the soup wasn't just a side dish! It had huge chunks of all kinds of vegetables (unfortunately, not the ones I like, but the broth was tasty). The chicken was tender and delicious, and the extra was greatly enjoyed by a friend who was also impressed by it being glatt kosher. Our server was lovely - attentive and patient - but very busy! The place was packed at 7 pm and never slowed down. It was not inexpensive ($75 plus 18% gratuity), with nothing but water to drink, but I'm overall pleased with having gone. Definitely recommend!

    Olives and pita chips
    Ariel B.

    Such a delicious food experience! Highly recommend. Came in for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Service was very fast and friendly, and the space itself is super cute. Not a huge restaurant, so seating is a little limited. Everything we ate we enjoyed to the fullest. We started with olives and pita chips that were so flavorful. We loved the hummus and pita as well; both were fresh and spiced just right. All of the entrees were just as good. Everything is just right flavor wise, noticeably fresh, and portions are huge! Since this is a kosher restaurant the price is pretty high, but with the amount of food we received it wasn't as pricey as expected. We also loved the limonana drink that we ordered, one of the best we've had in the area. Will be back, please come check this place out!!

    Meatballs

    If you want great Mediterranean dishes then you can't go wrong coming here. It was sooo good. The meatballs are a must have along with the pitas.

    From an Israeli who comes from a family that cooks some of the same dishes, we were weary. Needless to say, wow, wow, wow- absolutely delicious, authentic, full of different spices, fall-apart meat, crispy and thin schnitzel, out of this world hummus. Just 5-stars across the board. Best falafel, wow. I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the cigars and several other dishes, but run here before word gets out.

    Kuskus Mafrum and tbecha ! OMG!!!!!

    Found this steakhouse on the AADVANTAGE dining program…read more Olives and pita bread are served complimentary. There are no cocktails on this Saturday night. I don't know if it's standard practice. From the looks of what would be the bar, I assume there is no liquor license. Many bottles of wine and limited beer options and no liquor bottles. The waiter said the owner doesn't serve cocktails tonight. ‍‍ The ice machine was broken. For the prices on menu items, there's no way that's acceptable. They could have brought in bags of ice, and we would have never known. We had no ice to go with our water and coke, and the beer was barely cool. Finally, we see bags of ice brought in and wasn't offered any. ‍‍ Tomahawk steak medium well was good, but I needed a little more seasoning. Mash potatoes tasted like freshly smashed potatoes and needed a little salt and butter, and the oyster mushrooms were a bit chewy with a charred taste. 3 Lamb chops were serves medium rare so it was requested to be well done then it was good, the spinach was bitter with no flavor and the rice tasted old as it was leftovers from previous day or days. Rice didn't taste freshly cooked at all. Bone in Ribeye medium rare was good with a Cesar salad that tasted strange. The Cesar dressing tasted like a blue cheese mixed with ranch and a vinegar. I don't know it just wasn't a good Ceasars dressing, and it was iceberg lettuce, not romaine. Overall, they prepared good steaks and good lamb chops, but they need to step it up on the sides. For the price of steak, they need to give a better portion and more than 3 lamb chops. For the quality of food it's an overpriced restaurant. Though the digital menu is up with technology, it's not truly functional. It's not user-friendly for older persons, and it had a glitch. They should consider a QR code. Overall, the ambiance is nice. The food was ok but overpriced. Stop in to support a small business. 1 issue I did have, the waiter didn't help us while ordering. My dad ordered rice with his lamb chops, not knowing that it came with rice, and the waiter said nothing. I was bothered, but 2 sides come with the steaks. My son didn't order any sides, so I requested that the rice be a side of my son's order. They corrected that with no problem. the spinach and the rice were removed from the bill. Customer service was decent.

    One of the best experience I've ever had really enjoyed all of the food that came. The service was…read moretop-notch really recommended this place to a lot of my friends. I really enjoyed the dessert. The host was amazing. This server was very very polite. Kind of reminded me of the older days.
