LOVE this place! I heart rice! I go every time I am in sobe and I get the same thing everything: combo w/ sirloin & chicken skewers w/ basmati rice. I have also had the hummus and a veggie wrap. Amazing food!! And that red spice on the table is the best thing ever invented. Yes the food is not cheap but it is well worth the price and is soo filling! And yes you will have to wait for your food as they make it fresh but not long. I have been there over a dozen times and always have a great food with one exception when I took the food to go and I realized I never got the chicken portion of combo. I am a very picky person & have to say this place is easily one of my top five places to eat!! read more

This place is really good, and the prices are very reasonable for the portions they serve. For ar0und $9 you get greek salad, rice, and a big portion of chicken and some delicious side sauce. They also had fresh red velvet with cream cheese frosting cupcakes they get from a cupcake place. AMAZING ! So I got dinner and dessert for $10. The mini cupcakes are only .50 cents. I really like this place I am glad I was hungry one night and didn't feel like driving so I thought hmmm what is close to my apt. I am so glad I went here I have been in the past, but didn't realize it is this good. I also got a side of hummus that was really tasty for $2.50. read more

i've eaten here twice and on both occasions had the same meal. (It was that good.) The Chenji Rice platter consists of basmati rice, grilled tenderloin and a salad. The meat was grilled to perfection (about medium) and the rice was also good. Could have used a tinge more seasoning but that's obviously very subjective. Definitely will continue to visit. read more

3.5 stars. Ordered the fish tilapia lunch special for around $11. Thought the portions were just a little bit stingy. Would have loved more than just one piece of fish. The food was definitely solid but I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary. If you're looking for a quick, relatively healthy lunch, this is a good place to grab a casual bite for lunch. read more

Fast, delicious & affordable. Delivery from Alton Rd location is quick at lunch time. Clean space with TVs for game night and you can eat outside. Healthy option and their garlic sauce is awesome! read more

Disappointing and overpriced. We went there based on the reviews. Unlike many reviews, there is nothing so special about this diner. Rice was very ordinary and tasteless. Persian Kabab (or tenderloin with rice, as they call it) was just one skewer that is not usual with real Persisn kabab. It is so pricy as well. I would not recomend it. Go to other places for better Kabab. read more

I had lunch here the other day and was a bit disappointed by the flavors. I'm not sure why but everything seem bland to me. Has my taste buds change recently? I ordered the Kubideh platter and both the meat and salad didn't appease me. Maybe its because I had 3 parisian macarons, chouquettes, and a falafel wrap earlier in the day. Or maybe sitting on South Beach made me want to eat less. That might explain it...or that I normally shared the meal with my bf but opted to get my own this time around. Regardless, I still enjoy coming here for lunch. It is a lot of food for one person. The people working there were nice and accommodating. Too bad I didn't enjoy it as I normally do. read more

I don't know what they do to the chicken here, but it's insane. I'm a big fan of persian food. Having spent the last couple of years in LA I was spoiled with some very good places. When I moved to SoBe I was pleasantly surprised to find such a good casual persian restaurant walking distance to my house! I honestly haven't tried any other dish except the chicken because every time I think about ordering something else, I remember how DE-LI-CIOUS the chicken is. The hummus is really good too and the backlava is yummy!! Try this place out, you won't regret it. read more

Nah... Just anothe fast food restaurant who like to cut corners. I defend etnic food as long as they keep it real; this fast food restaurant is just another attempt to recreate a Persian meal for a diverse population like Miami, by making it accessible, fast and convenient... But once again, they fail to do so... The reason: it doesnt feel I'm eating fresh food! Everything is re-heated and I hate that! I would have rather wait longer and eating standing up on a street corner while they prepare my food properly... That's what I expect of a fast food restaurant, to be real, to see the person who is prepping my food while I drool by smeling it... Of course, that's what "I" like to find when I look for this kind of place. My advice, loose the american fast food restaurant floors, walls, counters, uniforms l, etc and embrace the persian fast food as a whole experience. read more

This place is awesome when it comes to delivery, I order from here for lunch or if I have a late night at the office. The food arrives warm and the portions are good, even for a guy my size. The rice (basmati) is my favorite and the Greek salad served with the combos is always fresh, but perhaps the best thing about this place is the sauce they put on the side. I don't know what it's called but I wish I had a permanent stash in my fridge. read more

Rice Mediterranean Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I got in just before the lunch special ended for the day (11am-3pm). I ordered the joojeh (chicken) lunch special for just under $10 - came with four pieces of chicken (not my favorite - wasn't very tender/had a kind of rubbery texture), rice (delicious), hummus on a wedge of pita (good but the hummus to pita ratio was way off - too much hummus, not enough pita), and a Mediterranean/Greek-style salad (very good). It was a pretty good meal variety-wise. The interior was nice and clean and had a warm feeling. The servers were nice as well. Took a little over 15 minutes for me to get my food (which felt like a little bit long of a wait) but I didn't mind this time around. I love kabobs and I'm happy that this location is on the beach, but I'm not sure that I'll be a regular here. The food was a little underwhelming but I'm glad to know it's around in case I get a craving for kabobs. read more

We eat here every once and a while and their food is consistently pretty good and economical for South Beach! My favorite is their Tenderloin, it is always tender and tasty! I had to take some food to a potluck birthday party and because I didn't want to spend a whole day preparing food to take, I ordered quite a few kabobs, falafel and salads to take. The food I brought was the first thing to go at the party! It was a hit! Their staff helped me understand their menu, which was helpful for ordering for a crowd. I would do it again if I have to go to another potluck thing because they also packaged up real well with lots of their yummy dressing! I just brought large platter and put it out on the platter and it looked real nice! My suggestions are to put garbanzo beans in their salads, would be awesome! Also, if there is something they could do to improve the hummus and pita bread. I'm not a fan of what is there, I've had way better. I do hope they continue to improve and remain on South Beach, and stay consistently good! Thanks Rice! read more

This is a nice restaurant and very clean and convient. The food was wonderful and delicious. I had a chicken lunch box. The employee name Jackie she was very nice with me. She has great customer service. Thank you for having her as a employee. read more

The food isn't bad. What is bad is the customer service. Twice I have waited in excess of 1/2 hour for a fish platter. On one of the occasions after a 1/2 hour I asked when I'd get my food and they did t even bother to place my order to the back. This is unacceptable and that it's fresh food is a poor excuse. read more

Chicken skewer salad was sooooo delicious. If only all my salads tasted this damn good, I'd be set for life. The chicken is juicy, not rubbery, and seasoned perfectly. The dressings are light and packed with flavor. I had their rice/hummus combo meals too, and it's a generous portion for what you pay for. For the same amount of money, you could only get half the food anywhere else like this in the beach/brickell area. Will order again. :) read more

Love this place. Used to go all the time when Gold's was open. Now I go whenever I'm in the area. The best here is the grilled chicken breast (cooked off a ss skewer on a grill) over salad with their home dressing. Sometimes the dressing can be a little too watered down though. Get the grape leaves and the hummus for sure with their thin bread that goes perfect with the hummus. The operation is pretty clean although I hate when they stick the tip jar right by the register. They're not servers and get paid by the hour; if tips were accepted here, it should be done more discretely. Just my .02. read more

This place has good food. They have been making renovations for the store for years now and while is looking cute, they are not investing on their staff. They take extremely long to make simple things such as, wraps. I walked in with no one ready to order and still had to wait half an hour for my wrap. This happens every time. And when I can to pre order no one answers the phone. Is unacceptable I do not recommend the place. read more

I recently placed a very large order and the employees at this location, specifically Jerlan, made sure I was satisfied. I will admit this was a slightly complicated order (I got 24 chicken platters with changes) and Jerlan did everything in his power to make sure I got what I asked for. Thank you Jerlan. Everyone was very happy with this meal. read more

consistent takeout everytime i love it! i really like their cajun spice tilapia! with the complimentary sides and well cooked rice, everytime it's amazing. read more

I love the chicken and ground beef platter from here! The platter comes with chicken, ground beef, salad, rice, their special sauce and salad dressing. The dipping sauce to dip the meats in is to die for!!! I think the sauce is probably the reason why I keep coming back LOL! However, their rice is a bit too dry and flavorless for my taste. read more

The restaurant took care of our detailed order without hesitating! Very nice staff and delicious food. I recommend ordering through the restaurant directly - skip the delivery apps so the restaurant can really tailor a meal to you. read more

On Saturday night, my husband and I decided to go for a quick bite before we watched a late movie. On the way to the theater, we passed this Middle-Eastern restaurant on Alton Road. The menu looked yummy and the prices seemed somewhat reasonable so we went inside and waited in line for about 7-10 min before we were able to place our orders. There were plenty of tables available, but the only problem was most of them were still dirty. We ordered a small hummus & side of pita bread for an appetizer. We both ordered the Jooleh (chicken) wrap and water for drinks. Well, it's a good thing we ordered the hummus because it took about another 10-15 min to finally get the food. Even though we shared a small hummus, it was plenty for 2 people. My husband didn't like the hummus because it was in a plastic cup that was sitting in the self-service refrigerator (not made fresh to order). I personally thought it was awright. Not great, but not bad! I've tried better hummus before. Finally the jooleh wrap came out. It was a pretty big wrap that also came with a pickle spear, one stuffed grape leaf and a tiny cup of dressing that tasted like Caesar. The wrap was so big that I was only able to eat about 3 / 4 of it. The grilled chicken in the wrap was very flavorful and tasted very good but the grape leaves were just "awright." I was slightly disappointed about the grape leaves since it's one of my fav food. The pickle spears were kinda mushy so neither of us ate them. The pita bread was not what we expected- it was a very thin small triangle. It just was "awright", too. One thing that turned me off was the water from the self-service fountain. For some reason it was carbonated (like soda but without any flavor). I would rather drink tap water than that stuff. My husband thought the place was a bit over-priced for the ambiance and food quality. We both agreed the only good thing was the jooleh sandwich. It was very tasty and pretty big for those who like to eat a lot. Everything else was awright- nothing special! I just wish we had fresher hummus & pickles, regular water and cleaner tables. We'll probably come back & do a 'take out' for just the sandwich only. Pro Chicken Sandwich was very good Staff was cordial Con Carbonated water Dirty tables Hummus & pickles not fresh Slightly Over-priced read more

Excellent place to get a great meal!! Have Carlos, if available, explain the menu if you find it daunting - but really, it's a few proteins in different combinations of preparation. Definitely start with hummus for an appetizer - or even felafel - heck, or both!! I had the chenjeh rice - soft, succulent tenderloin with Basmati rice. And OMG - the house sauce... I poured it over everything!!! Didn't have room for dessert but will definitely try the baklava next time! read more

Today I'll give RICE 2 Stars ...so you have to buy the hummus on the side AND (wait for it!) you have to buy the pita to eat it with too! [That's like charging for the container you need your takeout in!] How else, we might ask, would you eat the hummus with! For the record, it only comes with a quarter of the pita bread! REALLY?! Go through all the labor of slicing the pita bread in four to offer your patrons a soggy wiarter?! Could you believe that?! Neither could I. After paying average $40 dinner for two and as a local, how much loss could complimentary and COMPLEMENTARY HUMMUS BREAD be to the owner?? #baffled #nowords #nofilter #simplytacky #notsmartbusiness read more

See all

The concept is very good, fast casual persian. The execution is very poor. My first visit I observed a cook wearing gloves using his cell phone and not changing gloves. I pointed it out to manager and she corrected situation. The portions are small and food uninspiring. The falafels were simply the worst Ive ever had. Dry, bland and not crispy. I couldnt even eat them. After 3 visits I will surely never come back. read more

I really love the food, it was very good but the place was dirty, all the tables were a mess and nobody care. Hope they make some internal changes because the food is awesome read more

Great food at a reasonable price. I've never had an issue with them forgetting anything or delivering wonky food. Delivery is always prompt. I always get the chicken platter with extra pita/hummus. Its great. read more

I really love RICE, its a good amount of food for the price. I did recent observe a price increase and a decrease in the amount of meat that was given to me in the bowl however Im still a big fan :) read more

Good food. My choice number one. Portions became smaller tho so not very happy now Reasonable proces read more

I was waiting between appointments and this place caught by eye, right on Alton Rd. I had a lunch combo, and it was great. The food took a little longer to prepare so don't come here if you're on a lunch break from work or are in a time crunch (or super hungry). I'd be back if I was in the area again. read more
