My first time at Affendi and I'm in love. The ambiance was upscale and formal. I went here for lunch with my coworkers. They were raving about this spot before we got there. I ordered the chicken breast with rice and salad- which was only $13!!! What a delicious deal! The chicken was juicy, tender and well seasoned. The salad was fresh. I also tried the hummus with the pita bread. Everything was a 10/10.

When I say there's a lot going on at the Affendi Grill, I mean a lot! And, all of it is pleasing. First of all, the Affendi Grill is huge. There's outside/covered dining available in three different, but closely situated areas. In addition, our very cordial and knowledgeable waitress, Nash mentioned Hookah is offered for those inclined. Now, that's a twist, for sure. The main dining room is adorned with white tablecloths and black napkins, giving it an air of a more formal dining experience. There's also an outside waiting porch area with a small couch. Quite a nice addition. However, the room that stands out the most is in the rear and party ready with a flickering fire on the large wall television. It's all quite impressive. The entire restaurant is very nicely decorated. But, let's not forget the intriguing aroma that welcomes you, tempting your palate, as you are seated and presented with a complimentary dip while you begin viewing their diverse Mediterranean menu, featuring Syrian and Middle Eastern foods. Now for the food. Of the few dishes we shared, they were all extremely well prepared and presented. Nash wasn't wrong when she mentioned that the Sautéed Octopus was often stated to be the best ever tasted. Moist and tender, it was indeed delicious. We tried their Dip Sampler, which was very tasty. And, the Mixed Grill Kabab consisting of chicken, beef and Kafta. Totally yummy. I can't wait for my next dining experience at Affendi Grill.

Came by for a late lunch/early dinner to this new-ish restaurant. It is very spacious with seating outside and in, and the decor/overall vibes are nice. Service was great and we ordered a lot of food (however, I only took pics of my main entree). We ordered the baba ghanoush, hummus, raw kibbeh, falafel, and feta cheese. All of the appetizers were delicious, especially the hummus and raw kibbeh. For my main entree I got the grilled snapper which was good! Nothing too special but I was craving fish and it satisfied that craving. Overall, a great restaurant to check out!

Beautiful restaurant

One of the BEST new restaurants that opened up with some of the best lunch specials. First of all the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous! With its big windows and white tall ceilings the restaurant has the most beautiful, open, airy, and light feeling to it. It's romantic (even during the day) and soft and just beautiful. The food here was absolutely delicious. We stopped for lunch and ordered from their lunch menu and both our dishes were amazing, so good. We ordered the falafel appetizer and it was the perfect start to our meal. You can tell the falafel was made fresh because it arrived to the table hot and crispy and full of flavor. For our entrees we ordered the lunch kafta kabob which was served with rice and a salad and the fattoush salad with grilled chicken. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The grilled chicken and kabob were perfectly cooked, soft and tender full of flavor. You get a really nice portion as well even from the lunch menu which was great as well. We ended our meal with their baklava and it was the perfect way to end a great meal. Some places serve the baklava and it's so sweet you can hardly eat it. Here though the baklava was perfect! Just the right amount of sweetness! Service was top notch here as well. Our server was very warm and friendly and came to check on us regularly. The owner of the restaurant stopped by as well to check on us and we were happy to let him know we will be happy to come back real soon for some more great food. Everything here was absolutely delicious, we had a great time, service was great, and we really enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend trying this new restaurant you won't be disappointed.

Gyro Sandwich

Dined here with friends. Good service, nice atmosphere in the restaurant. I had the Gyro Sandwich which came with fries. It was a really good sandwich, not the best I've ever had, but it was good and I enjoyed it.

The sign is up!  Coming soon (formerly Umberto's)

We had an excellent lunch here. They've only been open a very short time and are still being "discovered", but you might want to go sooner rather than later. Especially if you like middle eastern food. They will be quite popular soon. The owner is Syrian and has had a couple other restaurants locally. However, our waiter was from Turkey originally so my husband got to practice the few Turkish words he remembers from being there years ago. The staff is multi cultural so English is no problem. The restaurant is located at the old Umbertos just before the intracoastal bridge on the south side. There's ample parking. They have a dining room in front and outside patio dining to come. They are working on the back room for future private events and parties, too. There is a lunch menu with specials -- quite reasonably priced. However, we chose to share a few appetizers/starters instead from their regular menu. We loved their spinach pies. The filo dough was so light and flaky. They were served hot and freshly made. We also shared their meat grape leaves. Packed with rice and a some ground lamb, they were lemony and tasty. We also had their chicken livers. They were sauteed with onions and mushrooms. My husband liked these a lot. They were good, but they were not my first choice. We chatted with another couple dining there. They liked the felafel and loved the meat pies. We definitely will be returning to try more of their menu.

$11:00 lunch special.

We went for lunch you walk into a big bright room w/ white linen tablecloth. A big welcome we were seated with menus plus the lunch special menu. We both had the chicken kebabs which came with rice salad pita bread on the table with a special oil and all kinds of Seasonings that you dip in. It was very good and moist.

I used to dine at a cute little Mediterranean Restaurant near Pompano Beach. Food was good, ambiance was so so. But then the people who opened it sold it off and it reopened as Cuban. Why am I telling you all this? Because those great people moved across the bridge and reopened in an out of business Umberto's location. They named it Affendi. Completely remodeled inside, the restaurant is light and airy. The people running it met us at the door and warmly greeted us. Our server was Daniel who was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We started off with the dip assortment served with fresh pita bread. It was delicious. Then we ordered Beef Kabob, the Gyro platter, Galaba and a Tawook sandwich. The food was prepared perfectly and served quickly. We passed on dessert as it was Canasta night back at home but we promised to come back soon. BTW they have a nice lunch menu as well.

Gyro sandwich with french fries

We did not know what to expect when entering the new Affendi Grill. The ambience is upscale and very nice. The service was terrific and the food was outstanding. Hubby ordered the Gyro sandwich and I chose to have the lamb shank as it was recommended from a friend. Both choices were fabulous. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection, meat falling off the bone with seasonal vegetables. When we were preparing to leave the sky opened up pouring down rain, and Cory gave us an umbrella to allow us to get to our car without drowning! We totally enjoyed the experience and will be returning very soon.

Went to La Vie and had a great experience. We went to this place randomly after wanting to try some…read moreauthentic Mediterranean food. The first thing we noticed, which was a bit unexpected, was the decor. The ambiance was really nice and inviting. This is the type of restaurant where someone could host a party. The service was really good too. We received water almost immediately after being seated, and our server came by shortly after. The manager stopped by throughout our visit to provide recommendations, and he was really nice. It made the experience feel more personal. For our appetizer, we ordered the Baba Ghannouj, which complemented the pita bread really well. It was our first time having it, and we did not know what to expect, but it was great. It was really flavorful, and we finished it wanting more. For our entrees, we had the Lamb Chops and the Seafood Tagine. The lamb chops were great. It was not a huge portion, but the meat was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was also really nice. The Seafood Tagine looked great, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. Everything about the dish worked well together, and we felt that all the flavors complemented one another. There was a good harmony between the ingredients. For dessert, we ordered the Kunafa, which was another first for us. We had never had it before, but the description really sold us on it. It was really good. This is the kind of dessert that is best shared since it is a little heavy. Toward the end of our visit, a belly dancer came out to perform, and it was really exciting. La Vie is a great restaurant, and we will definitely return. We felt as though we got a true Mediterranean experience during our visit.

I went here on a double date and had a great time. Our waiter recommended a great Arab wine we'd…read morenever heard of before, chateau reserve gold, so that was nice to try. We started with batata harra and cheese bulak. Both were great! The potatoes in the batata harra were very well seasoned and flavorful. The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!

I ordered through Uber Eats looking for something healthy for my elderly mom and me…read more The packaging was excellent. Everything arrived neatly packed, and I appreciated that my falafel wrap was wrapped well and didn't get squished. My mom's chicken, rice, and greek salad kids' meal was the highlight. The portion was generous, well balanced, and she's a very picky eater who finished every bite, which says a lot. Unfortunately, my falafel was the opposite experience. It looked great, but it was dense, dry, and lacked flavor. Even the tzatziki was bland. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't deliver. I'd order my mom's meal again, but I wouldn't order the falafel or other vegetarian options.

The food is absolutely delicious considering how quickly it was ready. It feels homemade not like…read moreordering from a restaurant but more like having your favorite Greek aunt make you a hearty lunch. The Great Greek Gyro was phenomenal. The portion size, the taste, the quality, even the side of greek fries was fantastic on seasoning and freshness and crispiness. The Greek platter presentation is really nice, but while the meats are plentiful the bed of rice pilaf isn't nearly enough to fill the half empty plate. Again the meal was absolutely fresh, great on seasonings and delicious. It's just a bit expensive for the portion size. But it does also bring warm pita with tatziki sauce and a side salad lightly tossed in oil and vinegar which was refreshing. Only miss was portion size on the platter, which kept me from giving a 5 star review. BUT I will definitely be back to try that Athenian burger!
