WOW..Lebanese food…read more My wife loves mediterranean food so every chance we get to grab a bite makes her smile. I've seen this place a few times in the plaza but never could pronounce the name to remember it. The inside was extremely spacious and quiet. The lady working the register was friendly. Noticed the shawarma rotisserie skewers of beef & lamb glistening in the kitchen, but instead of getting the normal gyro, she wanted to try the fried falafel balls with hummus dip. They were ready in a few minutes and were very hot to the touch and larger than I thought. Took the balls togo and ate them in the car since it's the kinda food that is not too messy. Moist chickpeas on the inside with a a nice blast of herbs & spices coated by a crispy light brown shell. We both loved them. The gender assigned clean bathroom was ultra contemporary with marble walls and black onyx fixtures - great job!

The first thing we noticed, which was a bit unexpected, was the decor. The ambiance was really nice and inviting. This is the type of restaurant where someone could host a party. The service was really good too. We received water almost immediately after being seated, and our server came by shortly after. The manager stopped by throughout our visit to provide recommendations, and he was really nice. It made the experience feel more personal. For our appetizer, we ordered the Baba Ghannouj, which complemented the pita bread really well. It was our first time having it, and we did not know what to expect, but it was great. It was really flavorful, and we finished it wanting more. For our entrees, we had the Lamb Chops and the Seafood Tagine. The lamb chops were great. It was not a huge portion, but the meat was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was also really nice. The Seafood Tagine looked great, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. Everything about the dish worked well together, and we felt that all the flavors complemented one another. There was a good harmony between the ingredients. For dessert, we ordered the Kunafa, which was another first for us. We had never had it before, but the description really sold us on it. It was really good. This is the kind of dessert that is best shared since it is a little heavy. Toward the end of our visit, a belly dancer came out to perform, and it was really exciting. La Vie is a great restaurant, and we will definitely return. We felt as though we got a true Mediterranean experience during our visit.

We started with batata harra and cheese bulak. Both were great! The potatoes in the batata harra were very well seasoned and flavorful. The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!

We both had never had Lebanese cuisine and seemed something fun to do. We loved the decorations and warm welcome we got the moment we entered. I could not tell you the name of what I ordered.

I've known this restaurant for many years, and it has never once disappointed me. What makes it…read morespecial to me is that it's a true family business, one that has kept the culture and food preparation passed down through generations. That's one of the most important part of the menu, at least for me, and it's what makes this place feel like a piece of home. There's a touch of melancholic taste that carries all the way from Lebanon to these tables. I remember the father owner preparing the grape leaves one by one, with patience and love that image will never fade. The raw kibbeh, muhammara, and labneh are all incredible healthy, vegetable-based food, paired with good quality meat like lamb. The ambience is great, pleasant, Saturdays are more fun and loud with traditional music and hookah. Absolutely one of my favorite places in Pompano.

Everyone was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and Giovanni did an amazing job recommending some great entrée options. I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

It was definitely different and worth trying, but it wasn't my personal favorite.

Service was attentive and polite throughout the whole night. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is lovely with soft lighting, plants for decor, and entertaining music. That being said, we discovered that on Saturday nights, they have a belly dancer and the music got pretty loud during the performances, making it difficult to hold a conversation during those times. We ordered the hummus with beef tips and Lebanese cheese rolls as appetizers, both of which were pretty good although nothing to write home about. As entrees we shared a Siro-cca salad and the Sirocco grill for one. This was plenty of food for 2 people. I believe the salad may have been missing the balsamic glaze but didn't realize it until after eating the whole salad - it was still good. The rice was yummy and the steak and chicken skewers were very soft and flavorful. Overall, a very nice restaurant!

My parents and grandparents are regulars here so during a trip to Miami I joined them for their dinner. The food is good and very fresh. We had the veggie platter to share as an appetizer. They were out of falafel for it but they comped us with some extra grape leaves. The tabluleh was actually amazing. I don't like it but I couldn't stop eating it. So good. We also had the foul mudammas to share. For my entree I had the chicken shawarma with spicy rice and salad. The rice definitely had a kick. The chicken was juicy. I really enjoyed the salad. Don't expect much ambiance here. Food is good and reasonably priced. However, on a Sunday evening they were out of a lot of items. They're closed Monday's so come when it's not the very end of the weekend.

It's always easier to support local business like these when the food is good! Service sometimes can be slow but during this visit we had no issues and we were greeted timely, seated immediately and food arrived timely and fairly quickly. The shawarma combo is a must as it's full of Mediterranean flavors and has all the fixings. The grilled octopus is so tender and cooked to perfection! Love their homemade toom and freshly pressed pita. I know on Fridays and Saturdays they offer a belly dancer show in the evening that's great for families, a date, or a casual dinner out.

It's locally owned and operated and I believe the owner was in the kitchen cooking the night I was there. Complimentary house-made garlicky hummus and warm pita bread was brought to the table when we sat down. Obviously, this is a family recipe and it was so good, we couldn't wait for the food. Shrimp Santorini - Shrimp in a Mediterranean sauce and served with sautéed spinach and Rice - Combo Shawarma Platter - Chicken and Gyro served with tomatoes, cucumber, rice and Hummus. Lets start with the Hummus - fabulous! Fresh and a nice add-on with the meat. The Gyro was excellent. It was a nice slow roasted blend of lamb and beef. There was more than enough food and we even got to take some of the Shawarma home for lunch the next day. This was a nice find, I wish it was closer to home.
