Falafel Sandwich

Well I accidentally came here. Was headed to Hummus Achla and noticed this place across the street which is called "Falafal Achla". I assumed this was owned by the same people. I decided to go to the "Falafal" version of the "Achla" empire because it looked newer from the outside. Before I get into this review I'd like to say I risked my life for a falafal, by trying to cross Hallandale on foot. Y'all need some crosswalks my Miami people. But I was still light on my feet (pre-falafal) so was able to play live Frogger like a G. On to the food. I had a falafal sandwich. What's very nice is the owner literally scoops fresh falafal into balls and fries them up on the spot. The result is a moist falafal that's still lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The falafal is a bit hard to eat and it's messy, from the huge dollop of tahina sauce that dresses the top of the sandwich. But I like saucy food so that's not a problem for me, plus I was impressed the pita held up all the way until the end of my meal. Wow. When I make this at home my pita turns into a soggy and ripped mess every. single. time. Inside the (very fresh) pita is falafal of course, Israeli salad, and hummus. What could have make this better? Something tangy or sour to to play against the other flavors. I would have enjoyed a pickle of some sort in there. This one falafal filled me up real good and I was starving. And for less than $8 that's a good deal these days. I have no doubt this food is authentic. The owner is Israeli and looks like he's been working with falafal since back in the day. And the restaurant itself is very new, clean, and nice looking. Why not check it out? Just look both ways before crossing the street, and never, never ever, try running across Hallandale with a stomach full of falafal. (I was between 4 and 5 stars and with a few more choices for toppings I think this would a slam dunk 5-star. But Yelp doesn't allow 4.5 stars and with room for improvement I can't give 5 stars.)

Baklava so yummy!

If I could give it 20 stars I will. The service and the food were PERFECT. Everything fresh and delicious and the baklava was OMG! Also the owner-cook Abby was really sweet! You will not be disappointed!

Great, cute, delicious, healthy, variety, and fresh. Their DoorDash and Uber Eats are amazing too…read more They staple the bags. I do not like that they do not take cash. Everything else is superb. Service is magnificent as well. This might be one of my favorite places in south Florida.

Motek offers up one of the best happy hour specials in Aventura!…read moreMonday-Friday 2PM-6PM, they have a $5 happy hour special offering up several food and beverage options! Its one great deal and also a great way to experience their food if you're not sure what you like. We sat outside in the patio area and it was definitely a busy time. So service was a little on the slow side but understandable with the amount of people there. The outdoor patio area is really nice and breezy. Probably not the best idea on a sunny day. But the decor is beautiful and the flowers make it feel like a mediterranean paradise. My fav thing to munch on are the zaatar fries. They are so yummy and the portion is really good for $5. The chicken skewers are also delicious. For cocktails I had the rum berry-tini which was absolutely amazing! The combination of the lemon juice with the berry blend are really refreshing and blends well with the bacardi. The addition of the prosecco gives it a fizz which is very tantalizing to the taste buds. Great place to stop for happy hour or dinner!

As a Greek person, I can honestly say that I absolutely love everything about this restaurant!…read more From the delicious, authentic food to the outstanding service and beautiful decor, everything is simply wonderful. You can feel the love and attention to detail in every aspect of the experience, and it truly feels like a little piece of Greece. Whenever my friends and family come to visit, they always request to come here! It has become a favorite that we love sharing with everyone, and it never disappoints. The food, the atmosphere, the hospitality, everything is consistently amazing.

We had a pretty great lunch here today. It was Tuesday around 1 PM, and we were pleasantly…read moresurprised that parking near the restaurant was only about $1.50 an hour. The restaurant had a great vibe, with plenty of people enjoying their lunch... the decor was very nice. They had a lunch menu with really reasonable prices and a nice selection of dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our server was Greek, originally from a small village in northern Greece, which was such a nice touch. There was also a Greek family dining at the table next to us, and somehow those little details made the whole experience feel even more authentic... It was a nice surprise and it was the first time we had been at the restaurant. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, fair prices... We'll definitely be back
