Easily one of our most memorable meals. Ok - not cheap - let's get that out of the way, but value is relative. We left feeling it was worth every penny, looking forward to our return. Attractive decor, great vibe, noise level lively, but we were easily able to have conversation at our table for four. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. Our exceptional "guide" for the evening, Belen, was welcoming, gave a brief intro to the menu, and absolutely added to the positive experience in every way. Service and the pace of the evening was on point. We did not take her recommendation of the Salatim Tower (flatbread with a sample of every spread) to start, but built our own choose 3 + pita - all delicious!! We were ranking the spreads as we moved on to open-fire Saffron Caramelized Cod, Moroccan couscous and fire-roasted carrots. Our conversation was replaced with oohs and aaahs and comments of "yum" or "omg". We all planned to pass on dessert, but Belen mentioned their signature tahini soft serve, adding customers have called it "life-changing", so we shared one and it was. Unbelievably delicate, unique and delicious. With a bottle of wine and tip the evening was $425. Thank you, marvelous Belen!!! read more

Very pretentious. Bad energy . A food server dropped a whole basket of french fries in my lap. He apologized, and was very embarrassed as he cleaned up the mess. Neither the waiter or any management came over. Amy gesture of accommodation would have been appreciated. It was very uncomfortable to sit there with my clothing soiled . Didn't feel great . Couldn't really enjoy the food , which isn't that great anyway. Pricey with a service charge of 18% applied before tax as part of the bill. Adding insult to injury for this unfortunate experience. Try Motek , any Motek and you'll be pleased. read more

Tasetless Hummus , mediocre falafel . Very expensive especially for less than par food. Disgusting pita - and they charge extra for it. Give it only one star - for the decor... read more

We have been ordering from them and we finally went to the restaurant. It's my favorite Mediterranean restaurant so far. We ordered several appetizers and different main dishes , everything tasted awesome. We restaurant is gorgeous, they have outdoor seating too. The bar service was amazing, bartenders were so friendly and smiling all the time, but table service was ok, the waitress and busboy seem very serious , they were polite but seems unhappy. read more

I tried their Miami spice lunch menu. Service was friendly and efficient. The decor inside was pleasant. I also appreciated being able to park right outside. The food was authentic. The portion sizes were on the small side for Miami standards. My favorite dish was my main. I would recommend this place. read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** Very stunning interior, with the indoors brought inside. They have some outdoor seating but majority is inside. I love a good tapas style restaurant to do family style, it's the best way to taste the entire menu. This place made SUCH a stink about reservations and required a deposit. Only to get there and the restaurant was EMPTY. Our Order: (1) Salatim Trio - no substitution allowed, even though many other yelp reviews said they were able to swap the onion tahini for hummus. My biggest gripe with this dish was their pita allotment. Only one piece for 3 dips, which you presumably will be sharing with multiple people. (2) Falafel - crispy, lacked flavor (3) Crispy Zucchini Blossom - It was crispy and paired well with the stracciatella (4) Crunchy Cauliflower - Crispy and had a delicious sauce (5) Tahini Hummus - not good, needed salt and apparently they didn't have any to bring to the table (no pita included) (6) Pan Roasted Halloumi - V had a soft yet crispy texture and paired well with the honey and pistachios (7) Za'atar Hand-Cut Fries - don't call them za'atar fries because there was barely any seasoning or flavor. (8) Harif - We asked for spicy sauce and this is what they brought us. Didn't tell us it was a menu item, and would be a charge. Was a disappointment because it wasn't spicy, but did have good flavors. My biggest complaint here is the pita allocation. Yes, the pita was hot and soft, but didn't even provide pita with the appropriate dishes. The server was not helpful in answering menu questions, however the food did come out quickly. The service staff tried to clear the table multiple times when we were still eating the food. Overall, overpriced for the service and quality of off, you're better off skipping this place and going to the similar more popular restaurant next door. read more

Wow. In a sea of sub par, overpriced, think they're doing you a favor restaurant, this is an oasis! Phenomenal service from the well Informed waitstaff to the changing of flatware from course to course; a beautiful space that really feels light and Mediterranean, and the food. Delicious! We started with the 3 dips selection, we chose baba ganoush (yummy and lightly smoky flavor), the whipped feta with pistachio and mint (weird sounding but surprisingly delightful!) a d the labneh (a favorite of mine all around and well done here as well). The pita served alongside was fresh and hot, my only gripe is 3 dips came with one pita and extra bread was at a surcharge. We went in for one more piece and almost finished the dips with a bit to spare to pair w entrees. Hubs had the shakshuka with lamb added and was quite pleased, this is one of his fave dishes and they did not disappoint. My other two friends each had the lamb kefta and the steak shawarma wrap. They both raved and nearly cleaned their plates! I was a bit less hungry and opted for the kale salad with falafel. The salad was a large portion (they do encourage sharing but we all wanted different things this day) and the falafel were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We ended our meal with a couple to go boxes, left over falafel and the fries. A fantastic meal overall and one (of the very few) place in south Florida I'd visit again! read more

Food: delicious Service: very nice and attentive Ambiance: relaxing and pretty, a bit crowded and too loud for my taste but nice Plus: they are pet friendly read more

Been here twice now and the food is consistently amazing. The kefta and the prime steak shawarma wrap are absolute must‑tries -- everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The only miss for me was the halloumi; not terrible, just not on the same level as the rest of the dishes. Service was okay. The servers were very kind, but the pacing was slow both times, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. The interior is beautiful with a vibey atmosphere, and everything was fairly priced -- especially for Aventura. Since it's only a 10‑minute walk for us, this is definitely going to be our go‑to spot over Motek from here on. read more

This place is incredible - now I can't speak to the decor because I ordered delivery, but I've never had a chicken schnitzel sandwich like that in my life. also the salad and cous cous - all were fantastic. This is now a goto for me whenever I head over to FL (or tell fam to go to). And I think I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the pita! made my own sandwiches with pita and the chicken and salad! Really pumped to have found such a spot read more

Stopped by here for lunch today. It's close to the Brightline Train. It's best to share at Israeli restaurants like this. To start, we ordered the bubbly Za'atar Laffa bread with tahini hummus--a nice crunch to pick up the creamy hummus. We shared the Halloumi cheese and grapefruit salad, with red cabbage, kale, cucumber, and radishes, was a surprising combination that worked beautifully. Other Sides included falafel balls perched atop hummus, artfully arranged to resemble a flower, and roasted cauliflower. Vegans will find plenty to enjoy from the menu. (This is not a kosher restaurant.) At a neighboring table, a burger caught my attention, looking utterly drool-worthy. Cocktails were creative, albeit pricey, especially for the portion size, running $18 to $20 per glass. The pièce de résistance was the dessert: Tahini Soft Serve 'ice cream' topped with shaved halvah and drizzled with date honey, with a crunchy orange zest roll. The flavor combination was next-level. While the unassuming strip mall exterior may not impress, stepping inside reveals a nice ambiance enhanced by Israeli music playing through the sound system, transporting me to Tel Aviv. Abbalei is a must-visit for those craving authentic Israeli flavors. read more

Looking for a nice spot to take your date? This should definitely be on your list. They have servers that know the menu well and can provide you recommendations based on what you are looking for. The appetizers alone are worth the trip, especially the signature tower appetizer. It showcases all of their incredible spreads and dips. From creamy hummus to smoky eggplant, every one is packed with vibrant flavor. Do yourself a favor and order extra bread as you'll want every bit of it to scoop up those dips. The drinks are also impressive, with cocktails that are both refreshing and thoughtfully crafted. They also have a few nonalcoholic beverages to choose from. For entrées, I liked their steak and lamb offerings. Both stand out as highlights. They are cooked beautifully, tender, and seasoned with just the right balance of herbs and spices. It's the kind of food that feels comforting and elevated at the same time. On top of the great food, the ambience is wonderful. They have intimate seating, and a cozy inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place to bring a date for a romantic night out. Between the amazing food and the relaxed, elegant vibe, it's the kind of restaurant that turns dinner into an experience. Highly recommended. read more

Me and my boyfriend are a younger couple and I understand sometimes we are not taken seriously, but we ordered and got our appetizers in good time since the restaurant was pretty empty. We then waited for our main dishes for a good 25-30minutes. As we waited, a table of 4 was seated near our section and the server took their order. Another 10-15 minutes passes and we see that they received their food in which one dish included the same lamb sliders my boyfriend ordered. We are never ones to complain especially since im a server myself, but we were hangry and we have been here for about 45 min to an hour with no entree read more

Went before a movie and the waitress was so sweet, she quickly placed our order and made sure the food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was tasty and worth coming back for. I quickly sent the photos to my mom and made a reservation for her to come with my aunt the next day. The moroccan fish with the couscous made me feeling like i was eating at my childhood best friends house whose mom is moroccan!!! its insane how well these dishes are made and how quickly they get to the table. The portions are perfect to share! Im so excited to be back, definitely a hit. read more

I have only ordered via Uber eats but it's been consistent each time and it is so fresh and delicious!! They also have BOGO on Uber eats as well. I've had the tahini platter and chicken schnitzel and the pairings in the dish go fantastic together and the chicken has been prepared just right with crispy breading. The fresh pickled vegetables and salad with green tahini dressing is so refreshing! I would highly recommend and would love to try the restaurant as well as the ambiance looks beautiful. read more

Beautiful decor and great menu. We went for Father's Day and we were seated in a little private room which was wonderful. We had our 90 year old mom and 1 year old baby. This worked out great and the server was amazing / she seemed like she was starting in a Broadway production and explained every detail. We tried almost every appetizer and shared a prime rib and a chicken and a bronzino entree. Desserts looked incredible but we had no room to try. Everyone at our table of 8 was very pleased. Highly recommend. read more

Spent a beautiful evening with my fam celebrating my cousin birthday! The space is simple and beautifully designed. Staff is very nice & the food was delicious! We got Miami spice and it was not disappointing. I wanted to love the drinks but there were not a hit for anyone at the table. We asked to get the second round no ice but they just put less ice and more juice. I'm not those type of people that wants to feel the liquor in the drinks but they all tasted very juice filled. read more

Abbale Telavivian has a really nice vibe--the decor is stylish and the atmosphere feels lively, perfect for a night out in Aventura. We were excited to try the food, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations. The service was a little inconsistent. Our server was friendly but seemed stretched thin, so we had to wait a while for drinks and our order. When the food arrived, it looked great, but the flavors were just... okay. Some dishes were underseasoned and lacked the bold, vibrant taste we were hoping for from a Telavivian-inspired spot. It wasn't a bad experience--just not as memorable as we'd hoped. Maybe an off night? The setting is lovely, so with a little more attention to service and seasoning, this place could really shine. read more

Everything about the restaurant was great. First, it has a great outdoor look. Next, there is a friendly host who has a warm smile and welcomed us all. There were lots of servers and everybody was very helpful. They first brought us to a table inside, which is what we had requested, but then we asked to move outside and they did it without a problem at all. When I had made my reservation, I indicated it was my wife's birthday and they put a birthday card on the table. They also greeted her with a happy birthday wish. We ordered a couple cocktails and appetizers and put in our order and the server was very friendly and made suggestions. After we started eating, it started raining a bit, and they were very accommodating to move us back inside. We kept apologizing, and they kept saying that it was no worry at all, "It's Miami and it happens!" Well it wasn't actually Miami, but we understood the point and they were very accommodating. We will definitely be back! read more

This was such a beautiful restaurant, the decor was very earthy/ Mediterranean. The service was amazing, we were served by a very friendly and accommodating bartender for lunch. The meal started off with these fresh pickled veggies we had to get second of. All of the appetizers were out of this world but the Crunchy Cauliflower stole the show! The ceviche was very fresh and had pomegranate seeds which was nice. The lamb was delish and came with a few different sauces for dipping. 10/10 will need to go back to try out more of the menu! read more

A pretty airy restaurant with lots of greenery & couches & pillows to sit on. Meal absolutely delicious. Started w cocktails - 1 delightfully bright green with gin, mint & lemon & an excellent variation of an old-fashioned made with filtered labneh (?! Sounded weird but it works). We then had crunchy califlower deliciously crispy & seasoned, warm soft bread w a crispy crust w tahini, red pepper sauce and labnah dips, a minty salad with nuts don't know the name but best salad I've ever had, flavorful ribeye, mahi in a shakshuka-like rich roasted tomato broth, & for dessert an "Israeli pannacotta" light & milky with berries & crumbled pistachios. Service prompt & courteous. Yum. Would go back any time. read more

One of the most stunning restaurants I've ever been to and amazing service. Abbalé opened its second location in Aventura, with its first being in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood. This one is larger and has a full bar. There's outdoor and indoor dining, a private room, and plenty of parking. I went for brunch and loved the halloumi and grapefruit salad especially. You must try the tahini soft serve! read more

The staff was friendly, and we didn't feel pressured, which I appreciated. The food itself was just okay. We ordered the Miami Spicy, and although I love coconut, the dessert included in the deal (coconut malabi) was not available. I tried the piña colada, which looked more like soft-serve ice cream with heavy coloring, and it was just "meh." The fries also arrived lukewarm, not hot. What really disappointed me was the payment process -- you can only pay through a platform accessed by QR code, and it adds a transaction fee. Based on this experience, I would think twice before returning. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened years ago in Sobe. Finally the time has came and I visited their Aventura location which I loved because you have plenty of parking available. We made a reservation and I recommend to always make reservations, especially during brunch time or dinners. We were sit right away and our server, Alysa came to introduce herself. She was so nice and sweet, a really good vibe! I started with a glass of the Vermintino wine and it was so refreshing and dry. My friend ordered their frozen limonana and she loved it. I really liked that their cocktails could be mocktails upon request and the fact that they have a full bar was great! Honestly, this place was so cute! It definitely takes you out of miami. We were starving so we were directly for the entrees, I ordered the Falafel Pita, which came with the nosy delicious Za'atar French fries. Now, it was plenty for one person because each half of the most delicious pita bread I have had in a while was pretty big with 3 falafel pieces inside, hummus and pickled cabbage. Those two pieces plus plenty of frenech fries to share and a little pickled veggies salad. I only ate half of sandwich and the fries which was even sharing with my friend, I had still plenty to go. My friend ordered the Shakshuka and it was a cast iron pan full of tomate based sauce with herbs and 2 poached eggs plus a mini challah bread (which was the cutest baby challah ever!). She loved the shakshuka! We then ordered the dessert, the famous Tahini Soft Serve which was creamy, not overly sweet and the best of the best! To balance the sweetness we also had some of their tea. I ordered the Moroccan Mint Tea, so refreshing! And my friend the Rose Petal Tea. I thought it was a cup of tea but they actually serve you a little tea pot which one would have been perfect to share! The tea comes with the most delicious sesame little cookie. The whole experience was amazing, beautiful place, delicious food, amazing service, I'll definitely come back! read more

Ordered pick up for lunch via Ubereats and ordered the Chicken Shashlik. Located in a plaza near the mall so there was plenty of parking. I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and the perfect IG worthy spot to go to. I would love to try eating at the restaurant next time and there is also an outdoor area. Even though my order was to go the food was beautifully presented in the to go container. The veggies included in the dish were fresh and tasty. The chicken and hummus was delicious and not too overly salty. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the price point is rather high. My plate was $26 and the portion was pretty small so just be aware if you order from here that most dishes will cost you over $25. read more
