    Inside dining
    Jeri D.

    Server came to table right away and greeted. Took drink order then waited before lunch order. Had to wait 15 minutes before food arrived. We've haven't been here in a year so didn't know what to expect. Waitress never came to see if everything was ok. We ordered the gyro sandwich which we love . Very large always have take home leftovers. It was delicious flavor but the shell was a little too crispy for my taste. They said it's same chef but never had shell grilled . Dining inside and out.

    Easter Brunch by the beach. Great location, as you would be near enough to take a nice stroll by the beach after. Food was decent, well priced, location was fabulous with neighboring other small restaurants on the side. Parking is available in the back for 90 min free, with choice of paying a meter charge after the 90 min. Make sure to tell the restaurant you are parked and they will provide you with instructions on how to get 90 min free. For a holiday, the restaurant was a little disorganized and not ready with a few items and information. As we went with the flow, things got better. Two of their youngest staff members were incredibly nice and friendly which made the experience a pleasant one. Again, it was all about the location, watching the beach crowd getting ready for a beach day. The weather was fantastic. Overall, good relaxing experience.

    Great service and food. Price was also well within a good lunch budget. Had a Mule and it was great! Gian was super personable and gave us recommendations for things to check out while in town.

    Great find in Pompano! We were on the lookout for a Middle Eastern restaurant a few days back and saw Mora on Yelp. The photos and reviews looked great so we instantly decided to head over and give it a go. Our expectations were high but Mora absolutely delivered. The food here is simply outstanding. We got an appetizer sampler which came with velvety hummus, smokey baba ganoush, salad, falafel and stuffed grape leaves. The waitress brought out fresh bread and hand mixed zaatar and olive oil for us, which was a nice touch. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time. I was super impressed with taste and quality of our dishes, especially of the hummus which was my all time favorite. Seriously! And I've had hummus all over the Middle East! Next up were the utterly delicious kebabs which came with flavorful rice and vegetables. The kebabs were beautifully grilled, well seasoned and came out very tender. Really loved them. The rice was quite good as well. For dessert we got a few of their cakes and the house made knafe which was served fresh out of the oven. Knafe is so decadent and delicious, but it's really rare to find it even in Middle Eastern restaurants. Mora not only had it but freshly baked it for us. We were in heaven. This dessert is a must try in my opinion. Our experience at Mora was absolutely excellent. The service was fast and friendly and I loved the food ans atmosphere. We will definitely return.

    The service, wow, it wasn't the best throughout the meal. We weren't provided enough cutlery, enough plates, any water, the soft drinks weren't refilled until we asked twice. When we were ordering (and we got about 5 apps for the table in addition to the meals for the 4 of us) our waitress (long red hair) said "I hope I'm still working g when you are done ordering" and other "off" comments. Just uncomfortable. When it came time to tip I left $13 on a 98.99 bill, which was commensurate with the service. The waitress told my husband that 18% is customary. Then stood there looking at us until we left, then scuffed and "threw" plates into each other to indicate her displeasure. The food. See pics. Overall good experience on the taste. The burgers were great, the liver was extremely over cooked. The seasoning was on the heavy side with the use of salt and lemon but that may be a matter of preference.

    hair nets would be nice... food was expensively trash. best thing was the generosity of putting a lemon on tap water. rice served with the kabab was definitely insta-made in an easy-bake microwave. kafta sandwich was a tangy burger patty rolled in pita. service was okay. the food obviously wasn't their fault. calamari was chewy but maybe some would prefer it that way. unpleasant and not worth 76$ .

    Sesame spices and olive oil served with pita bread

    We were wandering around trying to figure out where to eat and ended up at Mora Grill. As a vegan eater it was pretty easy to figure out what to eat. We were given some pita and oil with spices. It was very tasty and I had to remind my husband he wasn't sitting alone at the table. I had the lentil soup...it was delicious. I loved that it was served with pita chips on the side. The added texture just put the flavor over the edge. My husband and I shared a salad. It was a salad. The feta was served on the side. The feta was little crumbles, so I was happy it was on the side. I had a vegetarian platter. It has babaganoush (it was okay) a salad (wish the pita wasn't in the salad because those were mushy), grape leaves (tasty, but I have decided I like those warm), falafal (it was okay, nothing out of this world, but not bad) and hummus (very good). My husband had a kabob mixed platter. He was happy that the meats were removed from the sticks already. Unfortunately we had just missed the belly dancer. She looked like she was very friendly and some of the tables still had tambourines on them, so it was interactive. Service was wonderful. The place is very clean and comfortable. Parking can be a little difficult, but that shouldn't be a deterrent. I wold definitely return.

    I was walking around Las Olas with my wife shopping and looking for a place to eat. It was a mad house, an hour and a half wait for most of the restaurants. We left and headed to a Mexican restaurant, it ended up in a shady part of town and not to stop. This place came up on a Yelp search and we decided to give it a try. It was a little bit of a drive from ware we were, but turned out to be an excellent choice. Nice place located right by the beach. Friendly people, comfortable chairs, and the belly dance seemed extremely friendly. We missed her show, but she spent a nice amount of time talking the customers. We started with a Greek salad. We got it with the feta on the side. It was so fresh and so good. Then my wife got a bowl of lentil soup, it was served with fried pita bread chips. The soup was so good I was lucky my wife let me taste it. For dinner my wife had the mixed vegetable appetizer. It was hummas, musaka, grape leaves, and a pickled salad. I only tried the grape leaves and the musaka, and both were delicious. For me for dinner I had the mixed grill. It was a chicken kabob, a beef kabob and ground lamb kabob served with rice and vegetables. As good as this dish was, and it was real good, the best part was they removed the sticks from the kabob. We were to full for dessert, but we will definitely be eating here again.

    This newly opened middle eastern restaurant is just steps away from the beach in Pompano. The building interior has been totally redone -- it is sparkling white and blue (even the ladies bathroom is brand new) reminding me of many a Greek restaurant. We were lucky to find parking right out front. You pay the meter on the corner using your plate number. There is also a lot across the street. I really liked the look of the interior -- tables and a bar, too -- plus they have outside tables as well. The weather was nice, but we chose to eat our lunch inside. They have a separate menu of reasonably priced lunch specials. But we were in the mood for different salads so ordered off the regular menu. We learned that the owner is Syrian after talking to the waitress about the correct pronunciation of gyro. It's said with a hard G in Syrian according to her. First came a basket of thin pita (Syrian style). We munched on some while waiting for our lunch. Anyhow, I ordered a Fatoush salad -- this one has no lettuce, but has crispy pieces of pita chips in it, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, etc., all topped with gyro meat. My salad came with tsatsiki sauce on the side for dipping in my gyro meat slices. My girlfriend ordered their felafel salad which was a regular salad topped with felafel balls and served with tahini sauce on the side. Both salads were quite good. And the service was very good, too. Part of their fourth star is their potential based on other menu items I'd like to try. And part of that extra star is also the ambiance and their location.

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.

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.

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.
