    I went to dinner here with hubby and we both enjoyed it. Our server was very helpful and gave great tips to round out our meal. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe, with a large bar in the center. It is priced quite high, which has become typical of "it" places to go to.

    Meat platter
    Raisa S.

    Parking in Wynwood can feel a little sketchy when you first pull up -- lots of nightlife, lots of energy, and not the easiest area to find a comfortable spot. That said, once we stepped into this Lebanese spot in Wynwood, the entire vibe changed. The space is beautiful in a relaxed, unpretentious way. The patio is spacious and charming, with simple tablecloths that make it feel welcoming rather than overly trendy. It's the kind of place where people linger over plates and conversation. I was visiting Miami and honestly didn't want to dress up or overthink dinner -- just wanted something authentic and satisfying. This place delivered. Before ordering, I asked our server a few times which options were halal, and he kindly reassured me that the lamb was. That kind of attentiveness immediately made the experience more comfortable. We ended up sharing a larger platter with lamb, fries, and plenty of bread. The food was simple in the best possible way: great spices, flavorful sauces, and really well-cooked meat. The eggplant fatteh and Beirut hummus stood out, and the grilled octopus was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and balanced without trying too hard. Service was warm and attentive -- water glasses refilled without asking, quick check-ins to make sure we had everything we needed, but never hovering. We couldn't finish everything and happily took home extra bread along with some meat and fries. It turned into one of those unexpectedly lovely Miami evenings: good food, easy atmosphere, and a place you'd happily return to with friends. Wynwood may feel chaotic outside, but inside this spot it's all hospitality, flavor, and a reminder of how comforting a simple, well-executed me

    The vibe and ambiance of this place is very nice. Beautiful interior with lots of greenery and nice ambient lighting. I came just for the short rib baklava. It was pretty good but definitely could've used some additional components such as a seasoning some spice or a hot honey over the top. That would've made it much better IMO. Happy I got to try it though.

    Thank God for Doya - what an outstanding restaurant. The vast, tapas-style menu keeps you wanting to come back for more and more and more. I'm sure you could go there a couple of days in a row and try something completely new each time. It's amazing really!   Food was so flavorful, and so interesting. I got to try things I would never have thought to put together (short-rib baklava) and marvel at solid takes on well-loved favorites (lamb chops).   Places like these remind me of the beauty of dining and that sometimes, paying a little extra does in fact get you an outstanding meal. Thank you Doya.

    **Vegetarian Friendly** Went to Doya after a year, and noticed they updated their menu with a handful of new items - majority of them being vegetarian friendly so we were tempted to give this place another chance. (1) Turkish Flatbread - They replaced pita with the flatbread/tortillas. The flat bread is served cold, and just doesn't complement the dips like pita bread does. Huge thumbs down. (2) Doya Delight - Labneh was delicious and the sweetness from honey complemented well. (3) Green Goddess - It was a good blend between a tzatiki and feta, but was hoping for a robust flavor with herbs, but it just fell flat. (4) Brussel Sprouts - they skimped on the sauce/dressing that this was just roasted veggies now. (5) Muhammara - same as before. It's good, but not great. Overall, food is still okay. It was already overpriced, but now it's astronomically overpriced now. I would rather dine elsewhere at these prices.

    Short-rib Baklava

    Came here for my birthday dinner! Was surprised to see so many people out on a Monday night. Our seat was in a horrible spot, our waiter even called it i95. People walked by nonstop and stood next to us to let others pass. The ambience was high energy and lots of talking. We couldn't really be part of that vibe due to our seat. We sat right next to the fish, the first table. We asked to be moved since we had a reservation and the girls up front said "no that's the only table we had." Definitely saw available tables, but that's OK. We started with the green goddess with their homemade bread. It was so delicious and creamy with great amount of dill - we added more of the house EVOO. The branzino carpaccio was just OK the pesto dried it out. The mussels were really good bathed in a white wine sauce. The star of the show and I would come back just to have this was the short-rib baklava. It was so buttery and flakey and the short rib fell apart. Overall, I can't give this place a 5 stars, but somewhere one might wanna try if in the area.

    I agree with the other reviews about the hostess being a bit unwelcoming. I went there Wednesday night by myself and asked for a table for one. I was given the directions to the bar. I went back to them to cross check if that's what they meant and yes they were. There didn't give me a table inspite of many vacant tables. It's a week night and only one third of the tables were occupied. I understand if they didn't have enough staff to cover the tables or if they had a different reason. But the way they handled it was a bit disappointing I was too tired by then and already paid for the parking so ended up ordering the food. I had Beyti (lamb wrapped in lavash) and I liked it. It's also my first time trying it. The service at the table was good though. On my way to the washroom, I saw that it's a Michelin restaurant. I was even more surprised.

    Doya is a lively and busy spot nestled in the middle of wynwood. We were seated immediately after checking in with a reservation. The food came out pretty quick and was delicious. I ordered the combo board to get a taste of everything. The lamb chops were definitely the star. Would come back again to try more mezze items

    As someone who absolutely LOVES Greek food & never tased Turkish food this place is a must recommend. We went at 4pm which was the perfect time before packed dinner time and we had the most perfect server Luana! Luana was so on point with her recommendations, literally circled and scratched off the must on the menu, and was extra special when bringing out meals. I love going to a place where you can tell the server enjoys the food just by the way she talks about it. Now let's get to the delicious food & drinks.... I had a sangria (which was heavy and so him), & my girls had a margarita and the berry spritz drink. The berry spritz drink was so sweet and fruity and tasted like juice! For food we did a few appetizers and a few meals. We ordered by what Luana recommended not just the overhyped food. The short rib baklava is a guest favorite & O M G I am still thinking about it. So creamy and the short rib was so juicy. We then moved on to the baked feta with lavash bread. Perfect start to our early dinner, the feta had a hint of honey at the end and it was just calling my name for more. We also got the house Greek salad, which was beyond fresh. The salad brings these huge chunks of tomatoes and as someone who doesn't really enjoy tomatoes, once mixed with the feta, green and dressing I ate it up. Lastly, another favorite was the yogurt kebap. This meal was so creamy and crunchy and tasty, I'm still thinking about it. Overall, I would definitely come again. Keep in mind, you can only be seated for 2 hours which we eventually found out after. This is a great place for a date night or a meal with friends and it's very on the "tapas" side! Valet parking was $20 and so worth it if you're not a fan of parallel parking!

    Doya in Wynwood was an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely excellent. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into each plate. The service was just as impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel welcoming and seamless. Great food, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Doya is easily one of the best dining experiences in Wynwood.

    Yogurt kebab
    Rachel W.

    The short rib baklava and yogurt kebab were delicious! We ordered several small plates to share but these were the clear winners. The beetroot hummus and branzino (both cold dishes) were just ok but still get points for being very fresh. Really enjoyed the pita bread that was paired with the hummus. Really great service and ambiance. Definitely worth a visit!

    Short rib baklava, almonds, olives and the little bag of bread is insane
    Laurie S.

    Mind Blowing! Short Rib Baklava...it's insane flavors are so good I wish we could've gone back again. Awesome service, super cool place. Go early sit at bar or make sure you have a reservation. It's fantastic and everyone in town recommends going there!

    Aubrie D.

    Loved this place but would recommend getting a later reservation, like 7:30-8pm earliest. The food and service were amazing for sure, but there were several dishes we had hoped to order that were still being specially prepared so we did not get to enjoy them. This was totally understandable and did not diminish our wonderful experience, but that would be my main advice for this place. Our server even brought us out an extra dish on the house to make up for it which was extremely kind and appreciated especially on such a busy evening. No matter what, you will have an incredible time here. It's a very upscale yet cozy, warm atmosphere and the service is magnificent.

    Is it good for kids? Or are there even any kids?

    There were kids in the restaurant, but its not typical food a child would usually eat in my opinion

    Is there happy hour?

    No Happy Hour menu or prices but their bar is gorgeous

    Are dogs allowed in their outside patio area?

    Was there again on Friday, May 19th at night and a big dog passed our table. So I assume yes, but ask them when you make your reservation to make sure

    Is their outdoor patio covered? What happens if it rains?

    They have some umbrellas , but I don't think they covered the whole patio

Seating is mostly outdoors and beautifully decorated, definitely a nice selection for an intimate event. Service was wonderful! The spanakopita was nicely flaky, the spinach filling wasn't overly bitter or pungent (my boyfriend is not a fan of strong feta flavors and enjoyed this while I am a feta enthusiast, we felt that this was right in the middle of our demands which worked great). We both love moussaka which is what my boyfriend ended up getting, dare we say it was our favorite moussaka out of any Greek restaurant in America thus far (coming from New Yorkers frequently visiting Astoria). It was broiled to perfection to give the cheese/béchamel layer a light crunch at the top and maintaining that richness underneath. The eggplant and ground meat were well seasoned. I really enjoyed my stuffed peppers as well (rice pilaf, ground beef, and feta on top), the tomato broth/sauce gave a nice sweet and savory flavor with the meal. Finally, a superb pistachio baklava, 10/10. Super impressed with what Miami had to offer for Mediterranean.

Plan accordingly unless you enjoy dining in 85° with a side of humidity. Parking? Practically a scavenger hunt. There's no real on-site option; we ended up trekking about six blocks to a public garage. Apparently there's valet somewhere nearby, but you'd never know it because there were no signs, no heads up, just vibes. They tout a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which set expectations and maybe a little too high. Unfortunately, the food just didn't deliver. Several dishes landed squarely in the "looks better than it tastes" category--pretty, but surprisingly flavorless. At those prices, you expect at least a little wow. Service was fine, but forgettable. All in all, between the heat, the flies, the parking adventure, and the underwhelming food, this one's a pass for me. Won't be making a return trip.

I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.

For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

Our server appeared to be handling far too many tables. We did not receive water for approximately 15 minutes after sitting down, and by 9:15 PM -- 45 minutes after our reservation time -- we had still not been able to order drinks. At that point, we decided to leave and find dinner elsewhere. We ultimately paid $40 for a reservation where we were never properly served and did not dine at the restaurant. I reached out privately to give them an opportunity to address the issue but did not receive a response. Valentine's Day is a special occasion, and this was not the evening I had planned.

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 do love this place for it ambience and service.

I had to return the plate that I had gotten. I'm sure that if I would've chosen something else, I would've been happy because the person that I went with did very much enjoy their meal. 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.

    Meraki is a beautiful restaurant with truly authentic and delicious Greek food! And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

    Oh my God where do I start! We had the best date night. This place is so amazing.

The food is super tasty, super fresh, portions are adequate without paying a steep price. The salad: we got a greek salad, it was way bigger than what we expected, the tomatos and feta cheese were delicious and my fiance thought that this was the star dish. Its not your basic salad. The waitress prepared it right infront of us and cut fresh tomatos and veggies on a station. Saganaki: must order, this was my favorite dish. Even though its such a simple ingredient (cheese) the flavor is crazy, they torched it and heated it infront of us and we couldn't stop eating it Souvlaki: the chicken was delicious, we got two full skewers, they serve it with fries and their special sauce which is so delicious! Even the fries were delicious and well seasoned! Octopus: this was mind blowing, especially with the meraki sauce. This is technically an appetizer but feels like a whole dish!! And its only for $24 whereas other places tend to overcharge! We had planned to order more but by that time we were full. The menu is rich and there is still so much to try. We will be heading here more frequently and sharing with you our dishes!! 5 stars well deserved! Instagram: @ri_reviews961

Lira Beirut celebrates this through its food, decor and service. The whole vibe of the place seems extracted from a cool corner of Beirut with beautiful retro-cool artwork that is colorful, happy and sophisticated. From graphic prints, to black and white photos and architectural studies, it gives you a sense of a culture that takes the best of the middle east and cosmopolitan worlds. That sets the stage for the food served here. This is not a watered-down shawarma spot to pacify over-served revelers. It's a place to meet real foodie friends who appreciate authenticity and carefully prepared dishes in an elevated way. I haven't had a chance to go to the Middle East, but I can tell from the deft use of spices, heat and technique that their intention is to share the best from their food memory of the old country. I've gone on a few occasion and really enjoyed the fattoush salad, the labneh mtwame, the muhammara, the chicken shawarma plate and the kafta. Many of the dishes come with the crispiest, most addictive fries I've had, gorgeous savory rice and a heap of fresh, fragrant herbs. Even the wine list is pretty nice, and I've had the well priced Sauvignon Blanc and the Pouilly Fuisse. I wished the location were better for us and for them. It could use a more visible location where nice traffic goes by it. Since it's at the edge of Wynwood where it borders with the slowly gentrifying Overtown, it could take a while before its riches are recognized. I can't wait to go back for happy hour again, and I long to see the day when this becomes an awesome neighborhood hangout as they build more apartment buildings in the area that can house people who will appreciate all that Lira Beirut offers.
