What a truly awesome restaurant. Mediterranean is among my favorite foods and I have found some wonderful places, but only one could be my favorite. I have noticed this one on Yelp, but because it is not near my home, I have not taken the opportunity to visit. However, tonight, I was going to be in the area and took the plunge and am I so happy that I did. Talk about a beautiful restaurant that is both welcoming and consistent with the theme of its food and add to that excellent service and the best kebabs and falafel. I have tasted since moving to Florida and you have a real winner here. The Baba Ganesh hummus and other dips are just wonderful. The pita is fresh. I really cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed my meal here. So much so that despite the distance, I will certainly be returning. As a sidenote, I was hesitant when I saw the plaza that the restaurant was in, but think oasis in the desert. Once you walk in your in a world of wonderful food and service.
The outside is quite unassuming but the inside transports you with a Mediterranean vibe. Promptly greeted by Nora who would be our server, she made great recommendations, to which we started with the Arabic lemonades and decided on ordering a Kibbe platter and a 2 skewer platter to share. Both dishes came with 2 sides which were homemade deliciousness. We were later told the owner of the restaurant is the actual chef to ensure the food is authentic. For dessert we had baklava and a hot cheese dish I don't recall the name of and coffee. Everything was fingerlicking spectacular! Will def be coming back for more!
This is one of those hole in the wall places that will just blow your expectations out of the water. It's in a tiny strip mall but the inside is very cute and themed. Food was very delicious. The food was spiced perfectly. Great balance of salt and umami. Meat was tender and perfectly charred. And this meat is actually GRILLED not just placed on a griddle. The garlic cream was also absolutely divine. Service people here were also super nice. When I visit Miami again, I will definitely be back!!!
The food was so good and flavorful! I will say I do feel the price was steep. The restaurant was empty. We were the only one there for the entire time it took us to eat from stepping to to stepping out. Employees really only spoke Spanish. The dip try was my favorite part but I wish they gave more to dip in it bc there was so much left over sauce. The garlic sauce that came with the main was soooo good we had to ask for more!!
The food is great and atmosphere is relaxing with a middle eastern vibe. More of a cozy vibe and feel to it. The Knefeh (desert) is the cheesy variety with soft top but was not soggy. Was pretty good. Price is about as expected for entree's (22-33 bucks for an entree plate) but over priced for desert and tea which is a huge part of any middle eastern restaurant's culture. Service was also good. Not overly attentive but there if you need something. Definitely would come back! I have edited this since coming back, the food is still good, but I do have some complaints. They started adding the 18% service charge like many places do in Miami, which pisses me off forcing the customer to pay for the companies employees (hence the company has free employees) due to the department of labor tip credit that should be abolished. Employers should have to pay for their own employees so that a tip is actually a tip and not their hourly wage. Should be my choice regardless. A tea is also 3.50 or 4 dollars for every tea. Every middle eastern restaurant I've been to does not charge you for every tea bag lol. And all of them have a tea pot option if you want more tea. Disappointed in the price gouging for tea and desert.
Faraon is a Lebanese restaurant located in a strip mall area. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but is nice and clean on the inside. We came Sunday late afternoon after reading some nice reviews and we were promptly and warmly received went we arrived. We ordered the large portions of the hummus, tabbouleh salad, fried kibbeh, grape leaves, falafel and malfouf. The food was very fresh and delicious. The fried kibbeh was really the best of the dishes we ordered. Super tasty! But the highlight of the whole meal was the dessert! The baklava is to die for!!!! Delicious! One of the best I ever had!! Customer service was also very attentive and kind! Akram was really nice and he did a great job! Definitely will come back again!
I ate very well on my trip to Miami. Honestly, people of the 305, if it wasn't so damn hot and humid, I'd totally be down to stay there. But this little place really took me for a whirl! I thought I was just getting a quick easy middle eastern meal on the way to the airport, but I ended up with a finely craft and very delicious lunch! Faraon is small, and situated in a strip mall area that you could easily miss it in. However, I highly suggest you find it. I have a favorite place back home for Middle Eastern cuisine, and this is the only place I've ever eaten that has rivaled them on flavor and freshness. I got the lunch special, which is essentially a mixed bowl that gives you a little of this a little of that. You pick a protein, it comes with a rice base, and then several accoutrements like hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouleh, etc. It was exactly what I was looking for! Almost like a little sampler platter of everything they do there in a perfect size portion. Flavors were beyond on point, they were spotless. I also listened in delight as I heard my waitress bounce back and forth between Arabic, Spanish, and English depending on who she was helping. Very impressive! We don't see much of that in North Carolina. I love the cultures at play in Miami. The only, super mild, complaint I have is that I kind of blindly ordered the rosemary lemonade and it turned out to be more than six bucks. It was a delicious drink, but at that level of price, you'd expect some alcohol in there or something. Still, my fault for not asking, at least it tasted great! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to visitors and citizen alike!
I was pleasantly surprised at the Lebanese food. It was just like homemade! We had the fillet skewers and the rice along with the baba ghanoush. The fillet meat was perfectly cooked and it was so tender and melted in your mouth. We also shared the Faraon appetizer Plate that brought a little bit of everything. The hummus falafel, Kibby grape leaves and stuffed cabbage. I can't tell you which one I like more. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid-back with great service. I highly recommend this location and we will be back.
Best Middle Eastern food and best falafel I had in Miami hands down! I absolutely recommend their vegan bowl it has rice, falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, and Muhammara. Vegetarian platter is pretty similar but different display and great for sharing. Their mint lemonade drink is amazing. Food is prepared fresh. Service is friendly. Overall I had a great experience and I'm surely coming back.
Hummus--excellent, perfect flavor balance * * * * * Baba Ganoush--pretty good, could have been charred more, no smokey notes * * * * Falafel--just ok * * * Stuffed Grape Leaves--very good * * * * Yebrak Malfouf--love that they have this * * * * Tabouleh--too dry * * * Kibbeh--amazing, moist, fresh, flavorful! * * * * * Pita--thin, dry, Publix-grade * * Extra Filet Mignon skewer--kind of expensive, 5 little-more-than bite-size pieces for $13? see photo All in all, way better than average. a bit more expensive than casual take-out kind of places but the quality is also much much better and you can see that they went to the effort to create a very pleasant dining room compared to many middle eastern places. The people working here are quite nice too. Recommend!
I was in the area and used my Yelp app, to see what appealed to me food wise. This led me to Faraon. I sampled their lunch special - which consisted of a protein, (I chose chicken), some rice with almond slivers, and 4 mini sides. The food was pleasant. However, I hated the fact despite sitting in I was given a paper plate. I want to eat off a proper plate if I am dining in, rather than feeling like I was doing takeout. Not to mention such a waste of resources, I am a fan of protecting the planet rather than harboring more and more trash/rubbish being dumped in land mines. The decor was pleasant.
FARAON might officially be my newest hidden gem. I'm usually very loyal to El Pollo Inka when I'm in this area, but for once I decided to cheat on my usual spot and try something different. No regrets. I ordered the mixed 3 skewer/kebab meal with Arabic rice, fries, and the Arabic lemonade. The skewers were seasoned and cooked perfectly, the rice was delicious, and the fries were hot, fresh, and NOT coated. If you've read my reviews before, you know coated fries and I have unresolved issues! -_- The Arabic lemonade was to live for, because I don't say die. So refreshing. I don't love overly sweet drinks, so I added a little water and it was perfect for me! And before anyone asks about the little almond collection on the side of my plate, the rice does come with almonds. I asked for mine without them, they forgot, so I simply relocated them before the photoshoot lol! Cute restaurant, lovely service, amazing food and tucked away enough that you could easily miss it. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is hands down one of the best Lebanese restaurants we've been to in South Florida. The food is consistently fresh and perfectly seasoned. There is literally nothing we've eaten here that we didn't love. They also have a very eclectic menu, with unique dishes you often won't find at other Mediterranean restaurants. Highly recommend! read more

SO GOOD! We were looking for something with veggie options near our hotel so walked on over here. Quickly got a table and were served. The baba ganoush was incredible as was the falafel wrap and the fries! My friend also tried the shawarma which was also really good! Really good ambiance as well! I loved the decor and the music and the place settings! Will absolutely come back next time I'm in Miami! read more
Faraon is one of the best authentic middle eastern cuisine restaurants around the area. The concept is great, meaning by this that once you enter the place the atmosphere carries you to another place. Music is conducive and clientele is as real as possible, some of them although from latin origin (Venezuela in this case), they also speak the native language between themselves. Once I entered the place, I asked for a red wine and a lebanon wine was brought to me. It was a new experience that was for sure interesting to the palate (house wine). After that, I followed the savvy recommendation from, who was always very attentive and suggested the mix of two (chicken and beef pinchos) and was definitively a bullseye score. The flavor, taste and tenderness of the meats with the freshness of the taboule salad and the arabic rice was totally on point. Do not hesitate to come when you see the location. As you may know by now, in Miami the places with truly authentic and flavourful food are most of the time found in the not-flashy-at-all strip mall plazas, and Faraón is not the excepto this rule. Enjoy! read more

WHAT A HIDDEN GEM! Do not be led astray or dismiss this spot because it's inside a shopping plaza in a sort of industrial neighborhood. This is the absolute best place to get your Middle Eastern craving fix! This is probably me and my boyfriend's favorite cuisine and our go to when we can't coincide on what we're really craving. The food is just so fresh, so flavorful, so homey. Probably because it's all made by one delightful lady (we had the pleasure of meeting her on our last visit), she cooks it all - even the desserts! It's all family run so it adds an extra special touch I think. We always get the Vegetarian platter which comes with 4 dips, 3 falafel, and tabouli. You can taste every ingredient in every dip - wow! The shawarmas are also great with plenty of protein and then the perfect combo of veggies (tomatoes, onions, pickles). The rose water lemonade is a must try! Super refreshing and just enough sweetness. I think they rotate the desserts so if you go and happen to be in luck, order the baklava too! Crunchy, sweet, nutty. What more can I say? read more

Faraon is a very good choice for a lunch when in the Doral area. Located just a few blocks of the Palmetto and 36th street east of the highway. This new Restaurant has a lot to offer. Great lunch specials under $12.00 The restaurant is nicely decorated and offers table service or a small bar area. Beer and wine Yes. I arrived at around 2pm and there were a few busy tables. Empty for the most part but the food was good. I ordered the lamb kebab and that comes with 2 sides... I chose the Baba ganoush and lentil rice (both excellent) my lamb kebab was good but it could have used a bit more seasoning. (But still good). Before you get your meal you receive complimentary chips and those are addictive. The waitresses Talina and Alexandra were both very nice and helpful, service was outstanding. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be back soon to try other things. PS: Since this is a new restaurant I wish them all the best. read more

This is a very nice place to come and eat the delicious menu dishes and also to enjoy the belly dancing show. Family restaurant and great food and service. Highly recommended. read more
I didn't expect such a new and tasty spot in this old shopping center! It's small, but quite the gem. You can tell everything is new. But it was great. Food was SO tasty. It seems to have very traditional fare, so just ask questions if you aren't sure what something is. A little bit pricier than the average mediterranean/middle east joint (i.e. daily bread, etc.) but it was so fresh and tasty. Will definitely be coming back. read more
