    Kale Salad
    Isabelle T.

    Happea's made me happea! (I had to) Been wanting to try this place for a while but never got the chance. Today, I was walking to meet some friends and I passed by it and I was determined to try it. I got the kale salad and added tomato and grilled chicken. So delicious and fresh. The chicken was well cooked and the kale had the right amount of crispness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was wonderful and the decor is cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love the summery colors. Will for sure be back to try other things on the menu

    Happea's is a healthy fast food option in Brickell located on S Miami Ave near Tap and The Vue. This location offers many quick food options that are both healthy and tasty! The counter is self service which allows for a seamless order! They offer pita pockets and bowls ranging from vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. The service is always great and the food is made quickly! The bowls are compostable and they have a water station to help yourself! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's ample seating both inside and outside and gives a laid back feel, but I suggest coming early to beat the lunch traffic![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken bowl, pita, and oven roasted egg plant side

    I was heading to another local Miami restaurant but passed Happea's and thought this would hit the spot-and it did. I wanted compare it Cava but that just CAN'T compare. I took a chance and tried the oven roasted eggplant tahini side bowl. It had a creamy savory flavor. Additionally the pita--omg-- the PITA, it was like biting into a warm fluffy cloud! Definitely get the pita! Additionally my chicken bowl tasted amazing and so fresh. The hummus that came with it paired amazingly and had a perfectly creamy texture. The sweet potatoes also added a nice touch of soft creamy sweetness to the dish. Side note: NO PLASTIC dining utensils or plates were served. This was refreshing if you are mindful of avoiding plastic with the growing research coming out about microplastics. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bowls and cups were so aesthetic all metal (?) gold and silver.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely give Happea's a try if you want some fresh health conscious delicious tasting Mediterranean.

    I love how the food is always so fresh here, even the hummus is made to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I dine here solo a couple times a week, perfect little quiet spot to get a little work done and feel like I've done something good for my body.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nowhere else are you attended to so well, they ask you as soon as you walk in if you've been there before and offer assistance with the point of sale. I always feel appreciated here as a customer as well.

    So I have been seeing Happea's all over IG, and finally got a chance to try it at an workout I went to at Studio Three. One bite of the Sabich - which is a lemon cabbage salad, roasted eggplant, and a medium boiled egg and I was already hooked. Fast forward to one week later, and I had to order Happea's again. I opted for the Chicken Power Bowl which comes with roasted mushrooms caramelized onions, roasted sweet potato, pickled red cabbage and pita. THe base is quinoa, but as I was obsessed with Sabich I subbed it for the quinoa. It also comes with grilled chicken and hummus. The hummus can be subbed, but as it says on the order it would be a BIG MISTAKE. The hummus is probably one of the best I've had in a while, and with all those veggies and pita it is absolutely divine. There is no lack of bowl / sandwich options in Miami, but one thing that stood out to me about Happea's is how delicious, authentic and homemade everything tasted. You can tell the folks here take pride in their food - it's colorful, filled with flavor, and most importantly a great value for the portion size. I cannot wait to eat my way through this menu. Will be hard for me to not order the Sabich, but there are so many mezze's, pockets, bowls and salads to choose from. Last but very much importantly not least - YOU NEED to get the Spicy Relish. They have a bunch of different sauces made in house, but this spicy relish is ELITE! I do not know what is in it, but as someone who loves spice and acidity this vinegary spicy goodness is just too wonderful not to add to everything. Can't wait to try more Happea's.

    Cilantro Falafel Pocket
    Dimpie S.

    The cilantro falafel pocket was excellent. The falafel was freshly made and quite good. For a healthy option I felt like I was eating a high class meal. The only issues I had were the pocket was small for the price and it took over 30 minutes to make despite the restaurant not being busy (only 3 other customers). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otherwise it's in the heart of Brickell and a great lunch option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has cute decorations and covered outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back (as long as the service is a little quicker!)

    Skylar W.

    Delicious first lunch in Miami! I got the lunch special, a chicken shawarma pita pocket (half) and a side (I got the marinated beets) and it was the perfect size and great price. The beets were delicious and so was the shawarma. The pita was warm and doughy, and the whole meal was 5/5 to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was quick, the space is gorg, and it was the perfect temp to sit outside without sweating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm hooked, I wish they had this in Tampa!

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl.... Could be better and bigger
    Morgan A.

    Was so excited to try this place and wanted to love it but I ordered on Uber eats and the portion is so small for the price. 25$ for a bowl of chicken shawarma with hummus? The bowl was half the size of the bowl I get at naked farmer for 20$, the chicken was super dry and flavorless, I put salt on the hummus and it still barely had flavor, it was healthy but a bit underwhelming....

    Avocado toast
    Olga Y.

    Absolutely the best place. Healthy food cooked like in your mom's kitchen. The only thing I can suggest add a happy hour! All places around you have one. And please bring back avocado toast. It was the best

    Quick stop for lunch while visiting Miami. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You Order at the counter, they have both outdoor & indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I rarely eat Mediterranean food but my hubby does. I found something to eat - crispy chicken schnitzel. It was very good! Served fast, hot & fresh. I don't have much to compare it to but I enjoyed!

    Sabich Pocket
    Sophie S.

    This place is so consistently good. I'm obsessed with everything on the menu and would eat happeas for every meal if I could. The pitas are so soft, veggies so fresh, and meat and other fillings so flavorful. The fries are tasty and crunchy but soft. The happeas sauce is like a better spicy mayo. Service quick and nice too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance for eating in is very nice for a fast casual place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but I usually order through uber eats and the food still stays good. Live love happeas.

    Chicken shawarma pita
    Meg C.

    Healthy, flavorful chicken shawarma pita in a nice, fast casual setting. You order at a kiosk and grab a pager, so most of the setup is self-serve. They have outdoor seating and a water machine, which was a plus for me. It took a bit longer than I was expecting to get our food given there was only one other customer there, but the pita was worth it. The textures and flavors exceeded my expectations - I really liked the crunchy pickles and beets, and the plantain really balanced out the acidity and spice - wish there was more than one in the pita. I was impressed with how tasty and fluffy the pita itself was, and it held up well to all the toppings and sauces. They smartly put greens at the bottom to prevent it from getting too soggy. Solid spot for a quick, healthy, cheaper mediterranean meal in Miami.

    Chicken Shawarma Pocket
    Alison C.

    Absolutely fabulous food!! I got the chicken shawarma pocket after reading all the recommendations on yelp, and it did not disappoint. The pita was soft and warm. The chicken shawarma was brilliantly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The hummus was light and flavorful, absolutely loved the pickled cabbage and relish, and there was a plantain on there too which added a touch of sweet flavor. I so wish there was a Happea's on the east coast of florida toward St Pete as I'm over there much more, but when I'm in Miami again I will definitely be making another stop back here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is clean, and they have tables outside which is great for people watching.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Service is attentive and friendly... where they lost me was actually the quality of the dishes. Greek salad... was very sad. Overly ripped tomatoes, almost spoiled. Fish of the day sandwich (gyro style) was bland. It needed seasoning. NOT Good. Grouper from their specials... also flavorless. It comes over orzo which was overcooked. (Gummy)... and so on. I don't often have to write bad reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary. Way overrated. Way overpriced for the quality. Definitely not a restaurant I would recommend to anyone.

Even after paying, the staff continued to make sure we had water and asked if we needed anything else. This small gesture meant a lot. Sufrat has a great happy hour menu that ends at 6 PM. I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. 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.

That said, we would still recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service, and many of the other menu items -- just skip the steaks.

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.

Now it is Wynwood & parking is hit or miss depending on when you go but they do have a valet parking option in case you would like to use them w/ease.

    We were loyal guests of this restaurant for almost 3 years, which makes this experience especially…read moreupsetting. During our last visit, an expensive black Prada bag disappeared inside the restaurant. At first, the General Manager, CECILIA , confirmed that we arrived with the bag and stated they were reviewing all camera footage. However, despite multiple requests, we were never shown the arrival footage or provided clear evidence proving what happened to the bag. The communication became increasingly contradictory, and instead of transparency and professional assistance, we were eventually accused of acting "fraudulently" and formally trespassed from the property. What shocked us most was not only the disappearance of a valuable personal item, but the way loyal customers were treated afterward: no transparency, no proper cooperation, no accountability, and accusations without clear proof. We remained respectful throughout the entire process and simply asked for clear confirmation regarding the footage. Instead, the situation escalated into accusations and threats of trespassing. If personal belongings can disappear inside a restaurant and management responds this way, guests should seriously think twice before leaving valuables there. At this point, we sincerely hope the restaurant owner or upper management reviews this situation carefully, conducts a proper internal investigation into how this matter was handled, and contacts us directly in hopes of reaching a fair resolution regarding both the significant financial loss and the emotional distress we experienced as a result of this situation and the unfounded accusations made against us. We are still open to direct communication with the restaurant owner or upper management in hopes of resolving this situation professionally and fairly.

    Wow this place was such a vibe! The ambiance was beautiful, the energy was great, and it felt like…read morethe perfect spot for a night out. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked so well, but the lamb was definitely the standout for me. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the kind of dish where every bite just melts. We also loved the other dishes we tried and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the food and the overall experience!

    We came for a late dinner on a Saturday night and were delighted to find reservation availability…read morefor the 3 of us still. We were whisked inside to the intimate, dimly lit interior with a DJ table tastefully tucked away in the back of the space. Service was welcoming but overall, not quite as warm and attentive as I've experienced at other places in town. We started off with the Turkish Manti Dumplings, which were the standout of the night. The complexity yet restraint of flavor, balancing indescribable buttery, roasted, earthy notes with a touch of umami and subtle tanginess from the yogurt. 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 returned to this restaurant after a few years (previous review below) - and it's still so great!…read more This time around to my surprise they expanded - I was introduced to a new floor plan, decor, and staff, all were incredible! The restaurant is now two floors, has different dining seating, and is beautifully decorated, which makes you feel like you've been transported to Greece. The food was a hit this time around as well- I especially enjoyed the moussaka!

    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!

    What a great find! We were in the area and searched Yelp. This location popped up…read more We were there during happy hour and enjoyed the outdoor patio. The happy hour menu was fantastic with all $5 plates. We ordered drinks and a couple items. Then ordered more. Awesome tasting food as well as the service. There is a parking garage directly connected and the restaurant does add 20% service tip. This spot is now in our favorites list. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

    Motek is easily one of my favorite restaurants! Every meal I've had there has been incredible, but…read morethere are a few dishes that keep me coming back. The crispy cauliflower appetizer is an absolute must-order, and their warm pita with tzatziki is so fresh and flavorful that I could honestly eat it on its own. My favorite entrée is the salmon with the lemon potatoes--it's cooked perfectly every time, and the lemon potatoes are absolutely divine. To top it all off, their gelato is the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The only thing I miss is their coffee menu. They used to have more coffee options, and I was disappointed to see that they've narrowed it down to just Turkish coffee. I would love to see some of the other coffee drinks make a comeback. Even so, the food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful, and Motek is still a place I'll happily recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal.
