Wow, just what I was looking for! There was no wait at 6pm on a Sunday but I imagine once people find this place that will change. Food was excellent all around, service was great, and everything was very clean. Free bread arrived warm, homemade, and very fluffy inside with crunchy crust. The falafel was very herby, perfectly fried and very crunchy outside. It came on a bed of hummus with tahini drizzle. It came with 4 sliders. Falafel is usually hit or miss for me, but I would get this again! We shared a mixed grill platter so we could try some of everything. Surprisingly, my favorite was the chicken! Perfectly cooked, well marinated and grilled with a slight char. My hubby liked the beef/lamb patty best. It also came with one lamb chop, a grilled tomato, a little side of marinated cabbage, and a grilled jalepeno on a bed of tomato flavored bulgur (think like a Turkish spiced rice pilaf?) everything was truly cooked perfectly with nice spice. We also tried the lentil soup - it tasted almost creamy with a light tomato base and everything blended together (with a tiny bit of texture left from the lentils.) Also very good. The server was extremely accommodating, even offering extra grilled tomatoes when he saw us sharing the scraps of one! So glad we found this place and certainly will return! read more

Let's start off with the inside dining area is absolutely stunning. The Chandeliers had me mesmerized. I order 2 lunch special to go. The hostess offers me a glass of hot tea while I waited which was very nice gesture. I went around 2pm so it it was empty with only couple eating in. I ordered the gyro wrap w/fries and chicken Caesar salad lunch special. The gyro was huge and full of flavor however the meat was dry. I added a little extra tzatziki which made it a little better. The causer salad was really good the chicken was tender and moist. I really loved the flavoring on the chicken. I'm looking forward to dining in for dinner. read more

Though my lunch was enjoyable and the service was good, I didn't find anything special about the food. I liked that they gave us a complimentary small loaf of grilled bread and the sundried tomato oil was good, but it needed a little salt and pepper added. We ordered a lunch special Gyro with fries. The Gryo tasted fresh and was a good portion for the price. The fries lacked any seasoning and when I asked for a spicy sauce, if they had, I was given a bottle of Tabasco. Not really the authenticity I was looking for. We also ordered the Lahmacun which is like two round flat chopped beef cheeseless thin crust pizzas with a sliced tomato, red onion, and lemon garnish. We were not sure how the garnish should be used so we just sprinkled it around, folded the Lahmacun and took bites. It was good and I would order that again as it is very good for sharing. The decor inside is beautiful with all the colorful hanging glass bulbs. I also loved the Mediterranean floor tiles. Their lunch crowd seemed pretty steady and the kitchen got all the food out in a timely manner. read more

I usually visit Anthony's for a quick Saturday lunch, but this weekend I decided to try Alacati Mediterranean Restaurant, and I'm so glad I did. The menu was displayed outside, allowing me to browse and find dishes to my liking before entering. Upon walking in, I was struck by the restaurant's beautiful interior. There were two gentlemen working, and it was evident that they had invested significantly in creating a welcoming atmosphere. I chose to sit at the bar and ordered the arugula salad with chicken on top. It was absolutely delicious. Next time, I would consider getting twice the amount of chicken because it was so flavorful. The bread served alongside was also really good, I can't believe I ate the entire loaf. Although I intended to stay on the healthy side, after hearing the dessert options described, I couldn't resist and indulged in one. No regrets there! During my visit, I had the pleasure of chatting with the manager, Tunc, who was very welcoming and nice. I'm so happy that they are in the neighborhood. They have another location that has been around for four years in Hollywood. Please support our local businesses!!! read more

Alacati is a beautiful restaurant that has tables that are different sizes and finishing but somehow it all ties together and looks wonderful. The staff were spot on when it came to service. They Cabernet was served in a large wine glass and one was more than enough. It was nice that they had Peligrino water as well. The appetizer platter had hummus, eggplant with tomato, beans, baba ghanoush , and tzatziki sauce. It was good but nothing tasted special. The platter came with pita triangles and focaccia bread. The grilled octopus was good but lacked flavor. Islands Taverna and Theos make it much better. It came with an arugula salad that had the most perfect lemon dressing. I had an espresso to finish off the meal. Next time I will have to try their desserts. read more

Great find! Four of us go out every Friday night and are always looking for new places to try. We were happy to stumble upon Alacati. The interior is bright, clean and welcoming, as are the staff. The food was delicious. We had the octopus - yum! - the calamari, and the kofte. There wasn't a miss, and they bring you freshly baked bread at the start of your meal. An added plus is the full bar. Because we were there pretty early, the place was empty and a few tables trickled in while we were there. We were told they were fully booked for Saturday and Sunday, which is Father's Day. It's not a chain, the food and service are great, and it's a cute place. Go support them - you won't be sorry! read more

Yummy food! Hands down my favorite spot for Mediterranean food. Conveniently located near my job. The portions are generous and the ingredients taste incredibly high-quality. Its a bit pricey so I'll go on a day that I want to spoil myself. Great place for a date night. Try the octopus! read more

Went with book club and their food was amazing. I loved the vibe of the restaurant so different than what was there prior to the opening of Alacati. Service was fast and the waiters were on top of us making sure we had the food and drinks we wanted in a timely manner. read more

We are back for dinner after a wonderful lunch here the other day. We began with sashouka that is eggplant based with myriad of flavors and components. Served cold, vegetables only, and very enjoyable. Then we had the dorado which was a whole fish that was huge. With a large side salad, it was inexpensive for what it was. It was cooked perfectly, and came with burnt lemon to drizzle over it. We rounded out yhe meal chicken kabob, an d bulgar wheat side. Moist tender chicken with grilled flavor, and the bulgar wheat added nice contrast. This is a great restaurant that deserves attention. read more

My family and I decided to try Alacati for a quick dinner on Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised. This restaurant location used to be a different place (sushi I think) that rarely had business, but I was delighted to see that a Turkish restaurant had taken the spot. I read great reviews about the falafel so I wanted that to start. I chose the lamb meat plate (Adana) with bulgar rice, tomato and pepper. My brother had the snapper fish that came out piping hot (good) and my mom had the gyro meat platter. For dessert, mom and I had the kunefe sweet cheese. Everything was delicious. The place is decorated so lovely - colorful lamps above everyone. I didn't get to do the bathroom vibe check but my mom said it was clean. The only thing that was a setback was that when the sugar box was brought to the table, we noticed it had a few ants, we told them right away and the server immediately took it away. Other than that, it was a good experience and can't wait to return. read more

Brand new in Plantation area. Has lots of potential. We tried the mixed grill platter (included chicken and lamb chop and meat patties. and we each had a salad - a Cesar and a Greek. They serve a very tasty bread and dipping tomato oil when you sit down. We had a dessert and not sure what it was. Kunefe?? It was different. Big menu and lots to try when we come back. Waiter was friendly. Nice atmosphere and hoping they do well. They will have entertainment (live music and belly dancing) in the future... read more

We had a great experience from beginning to end. Upon entering, the first thing you notice is all the beautiful Turkish lights. It is decorated very nicely and feels like you're in the Mediterranean. The waiter approached us promptly and recommended some things on the menu. He brought bread with an olive oil dip. It was very good. We ordered hummus dip. It came in a bowl with more than enough to feed at least a small group. It was a little more of a soupy texture than any hummus I've ever had, but it was still good. We also tried the Greek salad. It was so yummy. It was more than enough for two. There were huge chunks of feta. Delicious! We ordered the lamb chops. They came with four to an order. They were seasoned very well, had lots of meat on them, and were cooked perfectly. We also had the flounder filet. It says on the menu that it's served with a creamy mushroom sauce. It's actually more of an oil based sauce with mushrooms. It was delicious! After dinner, we tried the baklava. It came with a few cut pieces. It was sweet and nutty, and I highly recommend it. I ended up going back a few days later with a group of friends. Everyone loved their dishes! This will definitely be one of our new local go-to restaurants. read more

There's plenty of parking. $70 something for the two of us. No room for dessert. Go check them out! read more

Excellent! Today was my first time trying Alacati and I cannot wait to go back. I had the falafel appetizer to go.

We went to the Plantation restaurant on an early Friday evening. Beautiful inside with gorgeous lamps and a bright dining area with partial open kitchen. Cute outdoor space too. Large and varied menu with so many delicious sounding choices. We had a mixed appetizer plate that was fantastic- the highlight was the saksuka eggplant. Entrees were quite big and very flavorful. Tried the moussaka, gyro and Adana lamb kabob. Looking forward to returning soon. read more
