    Braised Brisket Platter
    Leah Y.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Really good Fast food - chipotle-ish restaurant. The hummus was great! I would go back!

    The food was very fresh and the staff was extremely welcoming! I enjoyed how clean the environment was and how the staff made sure we had everything we needed. A place you can enjoy a nice meal and still feel healthy! 10/10

    Came back here for a quick meal and it was wonderful. If you're looking for a distinct bowl with a ton of vegetable, toppings and protein options, rice Mediterranean kitchen is the place for you. The portions are very generous and the service is friendly. You can have a healthy Persian bowl while listening to Persian music. Decided to try a completely new bowl and it was fantastic.

    Chicken Joojeh Platter
    Mia M.

    *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.

    Build Your Own Bowl

    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.

    A bug

    Finding a huge bug in your food is an experience i never would've thought i had in my life very disgusted.

    Chicken Kabob Plate
    Albert B.

    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.

    Uber eats order from here for the first time and was not disappointed. I loved it so much i want to actually go to the restaurant now.

    Build your own bowl

    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!

    Not my cup of tea. The taste food more like Indian food rather than Mediterranean. And very pricey for a bowl! Wouldn't go back.

Mediterranean (specifically Lebanese) food is perhaps my favorite on this planet, but this place severely disappointed. I want to start off with the good. Nice, friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere. And all the sides we had were great. Now, the bad. We got the beef shawarma, and it was ok. The shawarma itself was largely bland, and just tasted like cut up steak bites with no flavor. However, that's not the worst part. I had an absolutely nauseating experience with the arayes, which is one of my favorite dishes that I make at home from time to time too. It smelled like cigarettes, gasoline, and death. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm not sure what kind of meat it was, I assume lamb, and I've had experience with lamb that had gone bad in the fridge, and the texture was very reminiscent. I hope that's just a coincidence, and the smell was from another source. More so than the texture, again, the smell was enough to make us gag, and I have a strong stomach. I'd give lower, but I was treated fairly, and that would feel unfair. Thankfully, I'm not in this area that much, but I hope I just got unlucky and everyone else had and will continue to have good experiences here.

The chicken itself was flavorful and I ate the whole thing even though it was quite large. Therefore, from a taste and quality perspective I think the gyro was a saving grace for Art Gyros. We also ordered the hummus and it was tasty enough but...a part of me did wonder if it was homemade or if my tastebud memory was recognizing a sabra-esque taste. Nonetheless, it was served with far too few pita breads. Would recommend supplementing with some crudités, yum! The restaurant itself is so cute. It has prime real estate on Sunset Drive with a great outdoor seating area and a crisp and clean interior decor. Loved the wine wall! The bathroom needs a little work in the decor department. Also, when I used it, it looked like the staff left some supply cabinet open. Not a huge deal but again--so much potential! The service is why I gave Art Gyros 2 Stars. I went during lunch hours and therefore no one was there. Our order was taken by a gentleman and though he got us situated with our drinks and appetizers very quickly, he never came back to see if we wanted more Prosecco or needed anything at all. We observed that the chef in the kitchen was working hard to prepare dishes for the 5 of us and it seemed like she had no help. The gentleman spent the rest of the time we were there doing what appeared to be business stuff. We took it upon ourselves to remove all the extra plates from our table and put it on the bar area to make more space. At the end of it all when we got our check, it wasn't until after I already wrote in my 20% tip (which I always give regardless of service) that the we were informed it was already included. Would love to see this place do better as it does have so much potential.
