Miami has a few microcosms of life that take one into a different dimension. Some of them are…read morebetter known, like Little Havana with its Cuban heritage. Others, like "Moscow on the Sea" are less explored, even by locals. The shady world of grey money emphasizing itself through extravagant condos that never have a resident, persistently present black G Wagons and a sense of stepping into a different world. Ararat, is exactly that. While the restaurant is Armenian, it appeals heavily to all Eastern Europeans in the area, more heavily Russians and Ukrainians. It's a place that shows that despite everything going on in the world, here, all are friends sharing a wonderfully cheesy khachapuri from the table. The live music is something else, with talented Armenian singers and melodies that are as soulful as life itself. Aside from the khachapuri cheese pies, the kharcho soup is phenomenal. There are Armenian and Georgian wines on the menu, which really cannot be missed. The vibe is truly transformative into a land far away from Miami and perhaps, even a different time. This is a place to enjoy life and think of little else.

The restaurant is listed as closing at 10 PM, so we arrived at 8:50 PM. When we got there, we were told they wouldn't make anything because the chefs had already left. How does that even make sense? Why say one thing over the phone and then do the complete opposite in person? The staff is unprofessional and rude, and clearly doesn't care about their guests. It honestly feels like no one there wants to work. I do not recommend this place under any circumstances. If you don't want to waste your time and nerves, stay away.

The place was beautifully well designed and the music just brought the vibes. We were greeted immediately by a staff, Miriam. She was very friendly and so informative about the menu. Right when we were sat down another staff came and offered us couple of options of bottled water. The restaurant house bread which was toasted pita with an olive dip was delicious. My son and I had an espresso martini. Best we've ever had and the presentation was beautiful. Miriam gave us suggestions of what were popular and what were her favorites. We went with a couple dishes. Started with the shrimp dish that looked to be cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. It came with a side of pita/naan bread. Both came to the table very hot. The way I like my food. Btw. It was DELISH!!!! Then we had a single order of the mixed grilled. Everything on that platter was so flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of chicken breast but this one had so much flavor and still a bit moist. The filet was so tender and again flavorful. The ground meat stick was very moist and had the perfect amount of seasoning. We ate everything. Really wish we ordered the meal for two. We ended our dinner with their kaniff cheese dessert with a side of pistachios ice cream. The dessert came on a hot plate. It looked dipped in breadcrumbs and fried in butter. Then drizzled with honey and topped with lots of pistachios. It was perfect way to end our dinner. It wasn't too sweet and the pistachios ice cream tasted homemade. Both were so good. Everything Miriam suggested was a hit. My son and I had a great time. We will be back on Friday and bring the rest of our family to try the food and watch the belly dancing show. Everyone there was so helpful. Great place to try Lebanese food. AMAZING!!! Thank you Miriam for making this dining experience wonderful.

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!

Not many people are familiar with Iranian food, and that's unfortunate. Iranian food is very…read moredelicious and it is in its own category. It is not Indian, Lebanese, or Turkish, but something in-between. If you like to try different food and flavors, you must try it, and the best place to try authentic Iranian food is Kuluck. From the ambiance to the staff to the service, it is second to none. But most importantly, you have to go there for the flavors. You can try kebab over rice (definitely get Kubideh or beef kebab I think is on the menu), or if you want more of a comfort food, try one of the stews. Ghormeh Sabzi (Beef & Green Herb Stew) is a must for a first timer, then you can try Gheyme (Yellow Split Pea Stew), Bedemjoon (Eggplant), and Fesenjoon (Chicken Pomegranate Stew) I can't name everything you must try. Start from the top of the menu and move down in every visit, or I guess alphabet order is another option I promise you won't be disappointed

For my most recent stop to grab dessert after dinner nearby, to other times when I have enjoyed savory dishes in their adjacent sit down restaurant, Matryoshka was one of Sunny Isles' first delis stocking a wide variety of authentic food from Russia, Belarus, and various other European countries. They also have Mediterranean dishes for sale. It is mostly a grocery store, along with a well stocked (and clearly labeled) buffet of entrees and desserts. Since it is in the corner of a shopping plaza, they have outside tables along both sides if you want to enjoy your bites with a view of the Sunny Isles skyline.

We were whisked inside to the intimate, dimly lit interior with a DJ table tastefully tucked away in the back of the space. Service was welcoming but overall, not quite as warm and attentive as I've experienced at other places in town. We started off with the Turkish Manti Dumplings, which were the standout of the night. The complexity yet restraint of flavor, balancing indescribable buttery, roasted, earthy notes with a touch of umami and subtle tanginess from the yogurt. The Mezze Sampler was a nice option for trying three of the dips. All very tasty, but I've had slightly better elsewhere. The Sweet Jeweled rice was the other standout with flavor and textural variety that made each bite pop. I found the Roasted Brussels Sprouts undercooked and lacking the same level of flavor as the other plates. The weakest dish of the evening. The Grilled Whole Bronzino got top marks from the meat eaters at the table. Overall, 4/5 stars for a delicious meal but with tough competition around town limiting my ability to hit that 5.

I think it's worth it but maybe doing a little bit more research on what to get. To say that the person I was with had the Bronzino and it was delicious. Drinks are also good as well. like anything in Miami parking is a little difficult, we made reservations and we were sat right away. Again, this could've been a one off thing, but everything else was amazing.
