What a find! Finally an Israeli restaurant in East Boca which more than rivals those in West Boca. It checks all the boxes: great classic Israeli cuisine offered up in a civilized environment, a nice wine list, Kosher, and a family run operation that strives to make you feel part of it. We had the kebab entree and the falafel platter with the sides we like. Everything was yummy and the Noah red wine paired well with it. A special thanks to Anat and her daughter Natalie for being so welcoming and making us feel so comfortable. read more

Here's the story. I heard that a real kosher restaurant with all of its offerings Mediterran style opened in my neighborhood. I'm not kosher. But I like outstanding fresh food. And their food was very tasty. And fresh. And expensive. Actually, Very expensive. Even for Boca. And their wines were absurdly expensive. Sure they are all kosher. From around the world. But is a glass of Sauvignon blanc really justifiable at $23? That's a GLASS. And the answer is NO. The Merlot at 9. (From Spain) was good. The atmosphere is, at best, tacky. No sense of design. Cheap looking fake grass on the walls. Plants or vines (all fake) hanging from the ceiling. It was embarrassing for us to see that this was done by someone who thought it was nice. There are TV screens, large ones, behind the bar. And one was plaguing a sports game. Maybe soccer - from Spain. Like huh? Sort of inconsistent with their food origins. The man who greeted us was annoying. The restaurant only had one other table occupied. A 4 top. And he first offered a table next to theirs. No. On top of theirs. And I rejected it. He then offered one at the end closest to the bathroom and register. Nope. And then he offered a high top. Nope. I pointed out several tables and to each he said " they were reserved ". Well what about us? We had reservations for 5:30 and left at 6:30. And it was empty. No one came in to sit at any table. Several pickup orders. People walking down the aisle adjacent to two rows of tables. And 4 women came in, ordered pickup and sat at a table next to us to wait. Sorry. NOT. FOR. ME. Entree after entree wasn't available. And for each one he had to go to kitchen to ask if available. Huh? Our bowl of lentil soup was very hot (as requested) and tasty. A small bowl at $13. The hummus with pita bread was delicious. A small serving size for the price of $12. I guess that's why it is an appetizer. And I noticed an additional charge of $1.75 for the extra pita. Tacky. The grilled chicken breast sandwich with fries was a healthy size with 3 veggies shoved into it - Israeli salad, pickles, and red cabbage slaw. All tasty and fresh. The French fries were quite delicious. At $21, for the size, it was pricey. Make it smaller and charge $16 or $17. At $21, it is pricey. This is not a place I would go to for dinner. It is sad looking inside. The huge screen TV's were annoying. The chairs were comfortable. The knife and fork wrapped in the thinnest napkin, similar to what you get at chick filet or aother fast food place. I have a thing about paper napkins. I don't like them. Not at a place which charges $30 for entrees and $25 for a glass of wine. And a server was likely a sweet and kind person. He was also unlikely a server. When he finished with us he went behind the counter and was chopping. And chopping. And singing. His voice was good. By the way they should put signs on the two restrooms. Neither had a sign and when I asked which one, he did not say it didn't matter. He directed me to the bathroom furthest from the tables. Well I guess it does matter as that one had a urinal. Yup. Men's room. Positive point: was spotless. Odorless. And had hot water in sink. WOULD I RETURN FOR A SIT DOWN MEAL? No. Call in an order and pickup. And enjoy the food at home. There was nothing to enjoy inside. Poor vibe. Hope they survive by a change in vibe and servers. See picture of check that I posted. No exaggeration in pricing or that I was actually there read more

Beautiful restaurant and excellent kosher food in Boca. So delicious, clean and friendly. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. Everybody was very friendly and customer service oriented. The beef kebab platter was outstanding, along with great humus, beets, babaganoush, fried eggplant and Israeli salad. Definitely recommend this very fine kosher restaurant. read more

Middle Eastern cuisine is one of our favorites so we stopped by Avi's in the food court at the Festival Market while shopping. We shared one of the platter dishes, today featuring chicken and lamb as the protein and ,Humus, Babaghanoush, pita, salad, beets and pickled red peppers. Every component was great and thoroughly enjoyed! If you are at the Festival Market and looking for a great meal check out Avi's. read more

Since I have a meeting at 2pm, I have to order something quick. OMG.... I made a great choice. I came across a Kosher/Mediterranean spot in Boca Raton with a great menu choice. There are many platter and bowls choices. I've ordered Kabob bowl and my son had ordered Kabob platter. On top, the wings sound very interesting so we also order that too. It's amazingly delicious. You will not be disappointed. The owner told me that they were relocated from The Festival Market. So glad that they are here. read more

No words can describe the incredible Catering from Avi's Grille. From the first meeting to the delivery of the Awesome dinner; Perfection can describe Avi's Grille. Natalie delivered on every aspect. The "Menu" for the Party was Delicious. My guests raved about every dish served!! The timely delivery was great. The quantity established by Natalie was right on; not many Leftovers...... I recommend Avi's Grille for catering for any event. Don't forget to ask for Natalie. Linda Melcer read more

Kosher Mediterranean! They offer authentic kosher food! They offer dishes like shawarma, falafel, kebabs, and shakshuka. It uses fresh ingredients, warm atmosphere, and good service, with customers enjoying it all around! They are certified kosher by the Orthodox Rabbinical Board (ORB), ensuring adherence to high standards of kashrut. Went here with a whole group of women that I am heading to Israel with in November! I had no idea that they were from the Festival Market in Pompano (that is now defunct)! We split some great dishes-chicken schwarma, Israeli salad, falafel with fresh pita (fresh from the oven), beets and Amba dip! Also tried some fried eggplant as well! The prices are a bit high but it was worth it! (I would say the wine is a bit high priced, compared to the food). The portions are large. The owner/family is very nice and very attentive. I will give it another try at some point! read more

What a wonderful experience we just had! The food was fantastic and the people were all so friendly and helpful. The shawarma was excellent. The pargiot was delicious and the kebab was great too. No negatives. Very reasonable considering kosher food in an upscale neighborhood. Will definitely be back to try the shakshuka. read more

We had a really good lunch here. They are located within the food court of the Festival Marketplace in Pompano. They have only recently opened this kosher restaurant. You order, pay, and pick up your food at the counter. I chose a customized mixed salad platter and added some Moroccan cigars to it. I had wanted to try their kibbe, but they didn't have that on the day we stopped by. My platter included hummus, Baba ghanoush, beets, Israeli salad, an eggplant salad, and the "cigars". I liked everything, although the crispy filo wrapped meat filled "cigars" were a tad spicy for me. My husband shared a bit of my mixed plate. He especially liked the baba. He had a plate of beans and rice to which he added some of their special hot sauce. He said this was very very good, as well. If you have friends who are vegetarian or kosher, there are a lot of options from which to choose. We are neither, but we enjoyed our meals. Lots more items to try here in the future, including their kabobs, and their felafel. This is a welcome addition to the Festival food court. We look forward to returning. read more

Great spot! Nice buildout, comfortable chairs, and personable owner/service model. Easy to park in the back. The food was delicious. I had the Pargiot (grilled chicken), and instead of Rice or Fries, I opted for the alternatively included 3 salads (I went with Israeli salad, baba ganoush, and sauteed mushrooms.) It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected in a premium East Boca location, especially for kosher food. I will definitely come back! read more

Avi’s Grill - Pargiot (grilled chicken thighs), Israeli Salad, baba ganoush, sautéed mushrooms, and a small courtesy side of pickles to try. - Kosher Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I didn't much like the Schnitzel. I once tried their soup as well and it was runny. The place is convenient for the East Boca Kosher Crowds, but I judge a place by the quality of their Split Pea Soup and Chicken Schnitzel and for me, for the way I like those two recipes, I would not go back. The place inside is lovely and I am sure other things on the menu can be tasty. We are limited with the Kosher choices around town... although they did open up something by Boca Center.... They everything and choose for yourself. Let everyone get a fair shake! Mazel Tov on opening up a place east and may the force be with you. (Please get a better and crispier Chicken Schnitzel Recipe and a better Soup Chef and all will be wonderful. read more

Relaxing atmosphere and incredible food. Beautiful little spot. Especially for lunch. Got their grilled chicken and it was outstanding! Going to bring the family next time!! Everything I look for in a restaurant. Simple ingredients. Great food. Good service. Awesome local spot I'm thankful to have found! read more

What a hidden gem! This was my first visit to Avis's Grill, and I was blown away. I asked the lady working there what she'd recommend, and she suggested the beef kebab -- cooked medium-well -- and it was absolutely delectable. The food was bursting with flavor, the atmosphere had such a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the lady who helped me was incredibly sweet and kind. Her warmth made the whole experience feel personal and genuine. You can tell this place truly cares about its customers. Highly recommend -- everyone should know about this spot! read more

The ambiance was beautiful- the service was amazing and the food was delicious! All of the employees were welcoming and friendly. We came to celebrate our birthdays and it was great! read more

Delicious food and great service! Dined here for lunch and I had the grilled chicken in lite with the best fries! Will definitely return!

Everything was Delicious and Fresh! Can't wait to go back and try more things. So friendly as well. We'll definitely be back!!

Great new dining addition to the Festival Marketplace! We shared the Pargiot Platter, grilled marinated chicken with a choice of salads (beet, eggplant, Israeli, etc.). It was delicious! Next time we will try the falafel or schnitzel platter. Their motto is "Always Fired Up" and so are we... read more

Avi's. Legit Kosher Israeli in the Festival Marketplace. I ordered a falafel platter (excellent) with tahini and chickpeas and also got some fried eggplant on the side with some falafel, and and amba to dip with it. So you -can- order a sabich sandwich but it is not on the menu. Note that platters do not come with pita bread, they are $1 extra each. Prices are aggressive for kosher food. I got to try the chicken which was quite juicy and had a nice curry flavor on it, the vegetable soup look good, and I also tasted one of their kibbeg, which was good. I will definitely go back to try the kafta kebab and other things. And yes, the festival market is still schlocky. read more

The first time I needed to order dinner for my friend's husband's Shiva, my daughter and I searched for the right caterer for this solemn occasion. I had never ordered Shiva catering before, and my daughter shared a link for Avi's Grill. I reached out to three places, and from the start, Natalie at Avi's Grill stood out. She was a pleasure to work with - incredibly responsive, helpful, understanding, and kind, always following up thoughtfully. The food was outstanding with generous portions! The kabob was exceptional, and the salads were delicious. Both the family and the visitors enjoyed it, and I wholeheartedly recommend Avi's Grill. read more

Wow! What a disappointment - $160 for 2 - what I would consider a complete rip off and mediocre food at best. I had high hopes after reading reviews and after a complementary plate of hummus and pita chips! Next was fried beef cigars - good but very salty - Salty was theme of this dinner. Next I had Schwarma Platter - dried up tasteless bits of old meat - for $30!!!! Husband had Schnitzel - what came out was fried chicken fingers - for $30 - for a 5 year old. Everything was seriously over salted and just awful. Best part is the Dwyer Sauvignon Blanc no doubt left over from the Mexican place. - She charged us $21 a glass for a $19.99 bottle of wine - retail! No way this place lasts and is unfortunate because there is such a lack of good ethnic food in this area. read more

Check your take out order....left out the pita bread with two entrees I ordered, and then left out the tahini in the bowl I got a few days later. So I'm kinda done, cause it was a very dry bowl. Chicken was tasty, but rice is just plain white and tasteless...pilaf would be better....and the beans...didn't seem to go with the cuisine....white rice and very plain beans was blah, to say the least. To say nothing of an entree that had not a whiff of veggies...in any mid east restaurant you'd at least see a bit of charred tomato and green pepper slice...truly would have helped this platter. The pergiot chicken is nicely grilled, but that's not enough to get me back paying extra for the blessing of the chicken.... read more

They just opened down the street so we had to try it! It is family owned and operated and they are SO friendly and accommodating! My husband is on a specific diet and they went out of their way for him. The owners are so nice and the food is delicious! I had the delicious grilled chicken platter with 3 salads (all of which were yummy). It was so good we went back again a week later and brought my in-laws. Everyone loved their meals, the lentil soup is great, the chicken pargiot was wonderful! It is our new go-to local place! read more

The food at Avi's Grill is fantastic. The pita was served fresh from the Oven. The portions are very large and tasty. There is also a long list of salads to complement the dinner or can be eating as an entre. Will definitely will be back! read more

The food at Avi's Grill is delicious! This is a small-ish restaurant with a friendly vibe. The food is authentically Middle Eastern.

We'll keep coming back. read more

A wonderful family run kosher restaurant! The only reason we go to palmetto park rd. The best restaurant in Boca Raton in our view. The grilled chicken dishes are amazingly delicious. Don't miss the Yemenite soup, which is not on the menu. We try to eat there every day (making sure we have enough of their food at home for shabbos, when they are closed of course). Service is phenomenal and they treat you more like family than customers. Do not miss this restaurant, even if you are not kosher!!! read more
