I enjoy all Mediterranean food and I am a fan of Rice kitchen. The food is always healthy, clean and tastes fresh. This location is hard to find parking for and the inside is big but it's always empty and it feels cold. The staff is nice but I wish it was cozier to make me want to dine in. I order a lot of Rice house via Uber, so I'm guessing that most of the students around UM do the same. read more

Rice Mediterranean Kitchen - Chicken Joojeh Platter - Persian/Iranian Near Me - South Miami, Florida

There are a lot of options here for Mediterranean platters/rice bowl/ salads/wraps. And everything is really customizable and tastes delicious. The portions are really generous for the price as well. While they do give a lot of rice, they still pile on a bunch of your selected protein and have a good sized salad on the side. I ordered the braised beef brisket platter which was flavorful and really tender. I also got it with the spicy sumac sauce which was also super flavorful! Highly recommend. This is a great lunch place and also a good option to feed a lot of people or a great option if you want something filling and flavorful without breaking the bank. I can also see a team coming in after a practice here to get some post practice fuel. There are plenty of places to sit inside, and the tables were very clean when I came in at the end of the day. read more

Rice Mediterranean Kitchen - Braised Brisket Platter - Persian/Iranian Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Heads up -- parking is in a small shared lot down a back street, so spaces can be limited. Inside, the restaurant is bright, clean, and offers plenty of seating. Service was fast and friendly, and our to-go order came in a sturdy reusable bag that kept everything warm. I ordered the Slow Cooked Chicken platter and my husband had the Spicy Roasted Chicken platter -- both were delicious! I also tried the vegetable soup, which was equally tasty. Highly recommend this spot, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Always one of my favorite bowls to order when im in a rush or when im having a movie night and want a healthy comfort food. I always get the build your own bowl and usually get the brisket and the spicy chicken. For a base i usually get the greens and lentils. their toppings are the BEST part. I get the spicy hummus, the feta hummus (my favorite), and the tzatziki. I add olives, feta, cucumber, banana peppers, tomato, and the spicy sumac sauce on top!! huge portion and delicious read more

RICE Mediterranean Kitchen is really one of my favorite lunch spots! The chicken and kabob platters taste like perfection. They are always so consistent and the service is always top notch. I have gone to probably all of thier locations and i will say this one is a great one to check out! The food is always so juicy and fresh, and their salad is my obsession, the dressing is my favorite part! It's like enjoying a home-cooked meal. I love how fresh their ingredients are; everything is always so fresh, crisp and tasty. I swear I could eat this every single day, lol. It has become my go-to place for a satisfying and tasty lunch. Highly recommend! read more

Food is delicious, it is one of the few places where I can get what I want to eat. I am a very picky eater. Thank you Rice

*Disclaimer I have made this review solely as someone who orders takeout* Rice Mediterranean is such a hidden gem! They have several locations but my home store is the one located in South Miami. I can say that this place really hits the spot! I typically opt for the Chicken platter and it doesn't miss! Not once! The chicken is nicely flavored and has a slight citrus taste to it (which I always love). The rice is always cooked well. And I love how they offer the sauces and dressing for the salad. And they give you nice portions! Only grievance I could possibly think of is having a bit more pita bread to be portioned out with the amount of hummus we get. Presentation is alwayssss there and as far as service is involved although I cannot speak about quality of customer service as I've only ever ordered delivery I can say they NEVER mess up my order! They also give plenty of sauce and utensils. Food is always of quality no matter what location I have ordered from which is so rare! Definitely 100% recommend. read more

Delicious food with a good portion to feed an empty stomach. I had a chance to visit this place during the week since I was in the area. Parking wasn't too bad, there are some spots available in front of the business and also there is a parking meter option in case there are none available. Immediately was assisted when you walk in, and created a bowl of my own. Service was fast and recommendations were made. You can either pick a meal that already comes with everything or you can make your own bowl. Great location as far as seating goes, lots of tables and chairs. Pricing is about $15, and that's at the moment. So, if you're planning on having a family meal with about 4-5 people, the cost will add up. But it's worth it in my opinion, you just have to be in the mood for it. Definitely will come back. read more

I generally liked my experience at this place. The restaurant is modern, nicely designed, and very clean. The menu isn't big, but offers a variety of options. I decided to try the Chicken Kabob Plate, which includes chicken (all white meat), white rice, Greek salad, a slice of pita bread, a scoop of hummus, and some sauces on the side. I was able to modify the Greek salad by removing some vegetables, which was a plus for me, and I liked the result. The salad was very nice, and all the vegetables and feta cheese were fresh. However, the slice of pita bread was too small and a bit dry. The rice was also a little dry; I expected it to be softer and more flavorful, especially with the restaurant's name focusing on rice. But the chicken kabob was super tasty and delicious! I also liked the sauces; they gave the chicken a nice flavor. I paid $15.99 for this meal, and I think this price is fair because the plate was large and filled with food. I couldn't finish all the rice even though it was my first meal of the day and I was very hungry. So, keep in mind the size of the Chicken Kabob Plate and don't order extra food to avoid wasting it. A small bottle of sparkling mineral water cost $2.99. Unfortunately, the beverage options at the restaurant were very limited, and they should add more soft drinks to the menu. The guy who took my order was very nice, sweet, and helpful with advice about the food. The service was fast; I got my food about 8 minutes after ordering, but I must point out that the restaurant was pretty empty when I arrived. The restaurant's location is great, just across the street from the South Miami Metro Station and a few blocks from Sunset Place Shopping Mall. My first experience at this restaurant was smooth and mostly pleasant, so I'm sure I will come back soon to try something different from the menu. read more

Excellent food! I've wanted to visit Rice for a long time. I went on the recommendation of my Dr. I ordered a bowl with beluga black lentils and lettuce. I added raw carrots, cucumber, cabbage, and tomatoes, a shredded chicken, three different "dips"; hummus, a charred carrot tahini, and a honey nut feta. I also added some avocado, feta, and roasted vegetables. Then I topped it with some tahini and sumac sauce. It was so fresh and delicious! I got a side of the whole wheat pita chips. Altogether my meal was $20. They also have outdoor seating, which I like. So healthy and reasonably priced! I'll definitely be back again soon! read more

I order frequently from rice. They have super fresh fish and ingredients and are consistently good and on time. My favorite is the snapper fillet, it's a good portion seasoned well and the salad is amazing, ( def ask for more feta) I also enjoy the hummus. My favorite sauce is the spicy sumac which has a good kick. When I called them previously they were able to answer my question about the fish ounces without any judgment. Definitely come here for excellent fresh food with good portions and great flavor read more

Today when I went to pick up, I saw that they now have Persian ice cream sandwiches! I checked the online menu but they aren't on there yet. I have to try one next time. They looked delicious! read more

Grandma often said, "Take more." One remembers this when combining ingredients for a bowl at Rice, since the worker spoke to me with grandmotherly concern. I chose a salad base and am impressed by the wide variety of toppings. I added hummus, falafel, Greek yogurt sumac, charred carrot tahini, cucumbers and roasted veggies with tahini on top. One could choose three dips and three proteins and as many toppings as they offer. There are several dressings, not all listed on their website. The man kept asking me if I wanted to add more, so I thanked him kindly, and did. Everything was flavorful and tasty. At a reasonable price, it is a good quantity of healthy food. I will return to add more choices. I suggest you visit when in the area! Enjoy! read more

This place is like the Pollo Tropical or Chicken Kitchen of Mediterranean food. I came here with my parents, I had a protein bowl and they had chicken and beef dishes. The staff didn't seem like they had good customer service skills. My dad described this place as "hurry up" because that's what the atmosphere feels like instead of enjoying and relaxing with your food. The beef especially tasted kind of greasy and not high quality while my chicken was OK. I went home and was gassy for the rest of the night and this kept me awake. I won't be looking to come back here soon. read more

Customer service at the lowest, they don't even know their own menu. The food is ok. They need to hire people who show a little bit more like they care about customers. read more

The Service was not welcoming at all. It Felt rushed and it was my first time here. Even when asking simple question there was attitude. read more

So I'm torn. Food was good. Good quality, plenty to share between two adults felt satisfied and healthy, catch is service sucked. No ice . No straws. Had to ask for silverware ( we were dining in) provided us with plastic knife and fork to cut steak. Paying a premium for food is a luxury these days and for the money spent I would go elsewhere and be treated as if they wanted me there . read more

I came here for the first time after my sister raved about this place for so long. Parking is tricky, it's right in front of Sunset Place so the best option is to park in the lot right in front of the mall. It was like a dollar and change for an hour to park there. I have to say I don't dine in offer during the pandemic but Rice really made me feel comfortable sitting in their dining area. The restaurant is very clean and the long tables had dividers. They also had certain tables blocked off so social distancing and 50% capacity was met at all times. As for what I ordered, I created my own grain + greens bowl and it was delicious!! I ordered the bowl with black lentils as my grain and then chicken and falafel as my proteins (yes, you can choose 2!) There's so many options when it comes to toppings and sauces it's great and guaranteed to be a creation you love! It was my first time trying black lentils and I'm a fan now! I will be coming back and trying a bunch of different bowls! There's so many different combinations, I can honestly say I'm excited to try them all. read more

I cannot believe the portions at this place. I really understand less can be more with food, oversized portions are unnecessary etc etc. I am not one to complain about not enough food, Flavor rules all. . . But this place isn't even trying to give a complete bite. They are being disrespectful as hell! They gave my gf two pieces of falafel that looked like cat treats. They were the size of a goldfish ( the snack ) Why is that $14! And then I got the most expensive option for beef which is like $17 price point (and really $14 for a falafel platter bowl is a decent price but you would expect 3 medium sized falafel or two large ones... lol ) The meat I got was two very very small pieces of beef. The quality was fine but it was nothing I will remember positively. read more

Love this place. Part of the new wave of the Mediterranean Chipotle-style build-a-bowl places along with Clove and Taula Fresh, this fast-casual spot is a must for me whenever in the area. I know they're expanding the menu into different things, but to me the choice here are the bowls. Pick a base (white rice, brown rice, black lentils or salad) and top it with three spreads, a protein or 2 and as many choices from the veggie/toppings section and call it a day. The braised lamb and beef combo is my personal favorite on a bed of black lentils, topped with all the fixins and finished with the spicy sumac sauce. Whenever I'm down this way for a movie at Sunset or something, this place is always at the top of my list. read more
