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!

This restaurant is a time capsule to another time and another place. The time is the 1960s and the…read moreplace is Israel. It's the type of restaurant every town in Israel had before pizza and sushi became the rage. It's a type of restaurant that has all but disappeared in Israel. It's all about the food, middle eastern style, good quality, ample servings, served in an adequate but minimalist environment. As a salad lover, I especially like the salad samplers that are served while you wait for your entree. Visit this restaurant as if you are entering a Time Machine and you will have an unforgettable experience.

After our JCC gym classes, a group of us women headed over to this little hole in the wall that one…read moreof us highly recommended for their lemonade called Lemonanna - to go for. We arrived and there was a wait but it's a small little place so we waited outside until another group of people came and started smoking so we went inside ... When we saw that one of the tables was available and there was really no place to stand, one of us went over to start to sit down (as a solution) and the waitress whose name was Lulli or Lolli started yelling at us telling us that she had to clean first and I said yeah, but there's no place for stand and she yelled that we had to wait. Now, if you've been to Israel, you'll know that people are pretty rude. Kind of nasty they yell at each other we all know and accept it. And you kind of expect it if you go to an Israeli restaurant coz you're gonna get treated poorly. They act like you're bothering them. Of course it's not true of all Israeli restaurants but it's a generalization that's pretty spot on. Once you do get seated and she calms her ass down, you order the most amazing lemonade with fresh lemon, mint, and blended with ice that is to perfection. There's a spread already on the table of small little salads, chickpeas, carrots a lot of cabbage beets etc , to pick on while you're choosing from the extensive Israeli food on the menu . They have all the great Middle Eastern foods that you'll find in Israel . The hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the amazing is really salad with all the fresh herbs and the delicious fresh ingredients. Five of us spent about $22 each and had the best time despite our waitress and the leaky ceiling and the pretty dingy decor , but that's why we come here. Oh, and the tip is included in the price, which is probably why your waitress doesn't give a damn if you like her or not. We will be returning here for that Lemonanna and overlook Loli or whatever her name was.

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!

The service can lag quite a bit once they get busy, and I also felt like the cleanliness could have been better. Our table didn't feel particularly clean, which is something I definitely notice when I'm dining out. Nothing was necessarily terrible, and the food itself was good, but overall it was just an okay experience. There are other places I'd probably choose to go to first.

You can easily split one sandwich between two people as they are pretty filling. The tiramisu coffee is to die for. It was rich and flavorful and didn't have extra sweetness or artificial taste. The place inside looks "trendy" with the decor and furniture but also has a homey vibe of a family-owned café. It doesn't sacrifice the heart for aesthetics.

The mascarpone on top was perfection. Perfect balance snd not too sweet. Now my best friend said " this avocado toast is the best toast i have ever had in my life" As for me with the Giardiniera.... Man the flavor of this ciabatta was so perfectly woven together that ever bite was like discovering a new flavor in my sandwich. The spot was very tranquil and we loved the books and decor. Especially the funny bathroom sign. The two gals that attended us were so sweet and explained to us the items on the menu... especially the very yummy Tuna sandwich that apparently the tuna is from Italy which is definitely what i will be coming back to eat next time now.
