Octopus
Grover G.

Stopped by Sumak in Normandy again and had a pretty ok overall experience. Service was alright--nothing over the top but it got the job done. We started with the octopus, which unfortunately fell a little flat and was pretty bland compared to what I expected. The burger was surprisingly solid though, juicy and well cooked. But the real highlight of the meal was the lamb kebab. It was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the sumac onions with the rice on the side brought everything together. That dish alone is worth coming back for.

Lahmacun 8.5/10
Shiwen T.

They serve respectable Turkish food here and the owner is very friendly, greets the guests. We really enjoyed the two zeytinyağlı dishes (smoked eggplant and red pepper, and artichokes) and the lahmacun. I would go back to try their white cheese and melon when the weather gets warmer.

Can't get enough of this delicious and delightful Turkish restaurant. Service is always wonderful and very effective, ambience super chic, nice crowd and cool music!

Sumak Restaurant was refreshing. The Turkish cuisine never disappoints! I ordered the Beef shish along with the asparagus. Both were delish! Huge chucks of beef strip loins were tender! Marinated so well the flavors bursting through my tastebuds! Pretty small area very cozy and great for small or big groups. Service was great and food came out in no time! Check em out !

Waiting to be filled with delicious food and drink!

We came here for happy hour on Saturday and really enjoyed the experience. I was very impressed with the interior! Despite living within walking distance for nearly 15 years, I never made it to Rouge, which I hear was very romantic and beautiful inside. I don't know what kinds of changes Sumak has made, but it's really lovely. They have an outdoor area as well, but we stayed inside. If you are there for happy hour and / or without a reservation, they have a small section of the restaurant reserved so they can keep the rest of the tables for reservations. The happy hour menu is fairly robust; we had a group of 4 and I think we sampled nearly everything. Standout for me was the branzino, which was cooked absolutely perfectly and full of flavor! The calamari was also excellent. I saw that someone else mentioned that the bread was meh, but I thought the bread that came with the dips was delightful! The cocktails are expertly crafted and the wine selection is also robust. We sampled a Turkish red, which was similar to a pinot noir, and really liked it! I found the service to be very good - it was a bit crowded in the restaurant since it was Saturday night, but we didn't feel rushed or neglected just because we were "happy hour-ing". I looked at the regular menu and thought it was pretty pricey. Also, if you do not eat meat, plan on ordering several of the mezze, because the "mains" that come off the grill are exclusively meat based. Part of the fun of this type of cuisine is sampling several items, and the "Turkish table" is a notoriously delicious way of doing so. All in all, it was a great experience!

Kunefe
Pat C.

Saw the feature on TV so I decided to try this out on a Sunday evening. The restaurant has beautiful interior. It has a classic, elegant feel with the chandeliers, great lighting, and relaxing music. The plates and cups were beautiful. Our server Nico explained the menu and answered our questions. Attentive, he gave great recommendations and guided us on how the food was eaten, putting the toppings on the lahmacun. The freshly baked bread was very good. Lahmacun is like a Turkish pizza served with onions, tomatoes, cilantro. It's big and can be shared between two people. Cleaver meatball and chicken shish were so delicious. Served with orzo pilaf that was tasty, the meats were very tender and flavorful! Delicious. Turkish coffee was very good. What a perfect way to end with the kunefe. Again, it was very good - the right amount of sweetness and the different textures of the crunchy top and the soft cheese at the middle. Delicious food. Great service. Elegant interiors. Whether or not you've had Turkish food before, Sumak is a must try if you are in Miami. Would highly recommend! Deserves more than 5/5!

I love it here lol! We decided to head out this year for Valentine's Day. We had dinner at Sumak. I love how cozy and intimate the space is. The service was ok, but our food was great! Only feedback would be to add a bit of flavor to the calamari, apart from that, 10/10. Glad we found this place and we will be back!

The food and drinks are great the atmosphere was really nice ther was a live band. The owner is super nice to communicate with everyone in the restaurant.

Mezze sampler

Great middle eastern Turkish meal in authentic dish ware. There was a large party the evening we came so we were seated in back courtyard near fireplace. It was such a nice evening so it was perfect weather. The portions were large and the presentation was beautiful. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and it was decorated with garnishes that made it look like a piece of art. Staff was attentive as well!

Adana
Olga G.

Really love this place, I have been going here since they opened. Consistently excellent food, super chill. The service is a little slow at times. The only item they can't get right is lentil soup. I love their lahmacun (Iurkish "pizza"), love Adana kebab, love iskander kebab. All appetizers are amazing and large sized . It's definitely the best Turkish retardant in miami.

Appetizers.
Haidar H.

Wow. Wow. Wow. What a beautiful space and atmosphere. Typically I'm wary of places that look good because I'm let down in the food, but this place blew me away! Everything was delicious from the apps to the mains & dessert. I would absolutely come back here again! Yasin was our server and he was awesome too! Great service and great place.

We ordered the falafel plate to share and it was plenty. There's rice was absolutely delicious and the falafel were made on the spot served perfectly warm and crispy. Pro tip: ask for their house made hot sauce, it will rewire your brain. That was the perfect touch to our platter. Next time would LOVE to order the falafel wrap which comes with fries.

We were sat inside near the bar/kitchen area. The restaurant overall had a very quaint vibe, close seating and bright vibrant decor. Yellow was a primary color through most of the decor. I really loved the tree aesthetic that looked like an old tree that was growing from the corners of the rooms up the wall and across the ceiling. I wasn't able to catch our server's name however they were very well knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. We decided to do several apps versus getting individual meals as this restaurants theme is to have shareable plates. So many dishes, got the French and Turkish oven pita. Both were good and had different highlights. Loved the gold scissors provided to cut strips for sharing. Classic hummus which had to have been the smoothest hummus I've ever had. Zucchini Latkes were one of my favorite along with the Cauliflower. The seasoning on this was amazing, a bit sweet, and crispy outside. Crispy artichoke I could have done without. It was kinda like eating rice paper, odd texture. Had to try the baklava for dessert along with the pistachio cheesecake and the vanilla, mango and Nutella gelato. Nutella was my favorite. I'd keep on the short list next time I'm in the area.
