Wow what a disappointment and the staff or at least our server couldn't get out of his own way! Tip is included so they don't care. The food is at auction meaning it just comes as it comes which is fine and some was good but most was just okay. The place is pretty for what it is but that's it. However, the wrong wine was brought twice. A kebab (yes just one) wasn't until close to closing. A burger was brought incorrectly. The mint feta and watermelon salad was a joke it was a bowl of watermelon sprinkled with feta and 3 leaves of mint for $18 that was made haphazardly. When the bill came and he went to give cards back he called the Doctor ( yep says it on the card) Dr and then miss once he saw it was a woman and she laughed and said you mean Dr and he said miss again. Bud what are you doing? Anyway here's a super disappointing salad

Busyyyyy. Definitely make the resy. Easy parking outside. Nice Mediterranean food overall. Service tonight was very attentive. The place is decorated nicely with ample space. You can dress it up or down here.

Was recommended by several people to try this Israeli/Mediterranean restaurant. Was a bit crazy at the host stand. Lots of people waiting for tables. I didn't know it was Happy Hour from 2pm- 6pm! Anyway, we were seated quickly but so very close to another table that I asked to wait for another table. The decor is very lovely with a lots of tables as well as separate rooms for parties. There was a large bar as well. Now for the food- I ordered the salmon salad with watermelon & feta. Salmon was served separate from the watermelon- which I thought was good. Salad was fresh & so was the salmon. Hubby had fried artichoke & chicken schnitzel. All very yummy. I did taste the artichoke- & I enjoyed it. My only issue was that for my 1st time here, I didn't see the valet stand when arriving & that parking was difficult! I realize we drove in from another entrance. We did notice it on the way out. They charge $8.00 to valet & there are 3 other restaurants in this building. This restaurant would be great for happy hour as well as a date night.

Motek Boca was the choice for a much needed catch up with a girl friend. This stunning Israeli restaurant is a Boca highlight. I walked up to a beautifully decorated patio with shading and comfortable seating. As it was a nice day, I chose to sit outside. In true indecisive girl manner, it got a little too hot for me. Adrianna, my server, gladly lead me to a table inside and introduced me to Christian, my new server. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, spacious, clean and smelt amazing. For cocktails, I highly recommend their Jaffa Spritz and Baharat Old Fashion. The menu is family style so everything is meant to be shared. The food was fresh, delicious, filled with flavor and gave off a mouth watering aroma. The service and ambiance here was perfection. There is a free parking lot located at the side of the restaurant by the office buildings. Valet service is also available. 100% Satisfaction

The amazing Kaylee!!!

Amazing lunch, service, ambience. Met a friend for lunch who had been here before , and my first time in Boca. Kaylee was an incredible server-/ attentive, friendly, and explained how the menu and service worked. We ordered and kept ordering and Kaylee offered lots of advice/ help with some of the items. My husband had t stopped raving about the hummus and baba ganouch, saying it's the best outside of the Middle East he has had. We had a bunch of other dishes, names I don't remember, but everything was fresh, healthy and delicious. Salmon and chicken shawarma kabobs, falafel, drinks, etc. We sat on the spacious patio, but the inside was elegant with a beautiful ( and busy) bar. Photos don't do it justice. Will make it a point to return to Boca for Motek and absolutely request Kaylee.

Food is consistently good, they have a great wine selection and it's reasonably priced. Service is good once you get the servers attention. The last two times the service has been a bit slow but not terrible. The ambience is fun, and their happy hour is fantastic!

Crispy cauliflower

This was my second visit to a motek location and it was just as memorable and delicious. The Boca location is definitely bigger than the Miami location but has the same vibe. The drinks were so fun and yummy and the food was better than i remembered. We started off with the za'tar labneh with the pita - this was sooo good and not overly yogurty tasting. We also ordered the Moroccan fish, arayes, and crispy cauliflower. The fish was so flavorful and had a kick but we loved it. Honestly everything was so unique and so good. I would recommend everything we got especially the arayes, but you can skip the fries. We ended with the sundae with vanilla and Nutella ice cream which was awesome. It is really big but so delicious. I definitely will be back as they also opened a location in New York but I would want to go with a big group so we can order a lot of the menu. Our waiter Chaz was also great. Overall the service was very efficient and tentative. I really don't have any complaints. Great dining experience, super excited to go back.

I've been wanting to try Motek for quite some time and I finally got the opportunity to go by this past week. First impression upon walking in: wow this place is crowded! Like, it's a huge restaurant to begin with and I literally couldn't believe there were so many people seated inside and so many people on line waiting to get in. For a Tuesday it was a bit crazy. Anyway, after a brief wait, the hostess took us to our table and our waiter quickly came over and introduced himself. He then went on to explain the entire menu to us for some reason, which was completely unnecessary and a waste of time. Once the waiter moved along, we had a chance to review the menus ourselves and take a look around the restaurant. Unfortunately we, like all parties of 2, were given a tiny table to sit at. I'm sure it looked fine on paper for a couple, but when you consider that dinner here consists of a lot of different plates, tapas style, the tiny table really makes it a bit uncomfortable. I definitely was not a fan of the table size. Ambiance and service aside, we ordered a bunch of different dishes including a kebab, the hummus, a flatbread with cheese and zaatar, the falafel, a Greek salad, the muhammara and malabi for dessert. All the food was generally very good. The only thing I didn't really like was the muhammara which had a different flavor than I expected as well as a very astringent profile. Also the hummus was good, except they went way too heavy on the tahina. My favorite dishes were the falafel and the kebab. However, for the nearly $30 kebab price, they probably should have given two skewers. We got only one and it was a little bit light for an premium entree in my opinion. In the end, despite some minor criticisms, I felt like Motek was really solid. Five stars. I would absolutely head back to try more dishes and you should too if you're into Israeli and Middle Eastern food!

Zataar salad
Dawne A.

Everything was fabulous! We went for dinner and had 8:30 reservations on a Thursday and they were still very busy, we go sat on time. Our server was super friendly and a wealth of knowledge. It was our first time . We started with the classic Hummus creamy and the best I have ever had, we also did the spicy ceviche was excellent but really on the smaller side. For dinner we tried the Branzino, the Chicken Schnitzel Sandwiches, Zataar Salad and we added Falafel not one complaint. Our drinks were very good if there was a complaint the Martinis are on the small side. This restaurant sends food out as it is ready. We waited over twenty minutes for the hummus and as that game so did everything else. We tried the pistachio cheesecake made from Brie outstanding!! You definitely need a reservation

Everything about Motek is perfection! The place is gorgeous! There is indoor outdoor seating, as well as alcoves for large parties. I have dined here several times and the service is always impeccable. But most importantly, the food is wonderful. I have had many items from the menu, including the flatbreads, Moroccan fish, and bowls (a lunch special). I have dined at other Motek locations and the food is always consistently tasty! There is a reason why Motek is always packed. I strongly suggest making a reservation, even for lunch.

The delish chicken skewers!
Angela R.

This place is such a vibe, and the food was incredible. It's beautiful inside with a light, airy feel, and they also have a huge patio. They serve the best hummus I've ever tasted, and I've been to Istanbul for the real deal. I even ate their pita bread without getting a stomach ache, which never happens for me with gluten. If I remember correctly, they have it shipped in from Israel. I also had the chicken skewers, which were tender and full of flavor. This is by far the best Mediterranean food I've had in Palm Beach County.

Chicken Schnitzel platter

After hearing so much about Motek we stopped by for lunch last week. As it was late in the afternoon we were lucky to be seated immediately. The ambience was upscale and the place was bustling. Our server was very attentive and very helpful which made our experience more enjoyable.(I'm embarrassed to have forgotten her name!) We ordered the Moroccan Beef Roll and the Chicken Schnitzel Platter and both the taste and presentation were spot on! Yes we will be back when in the area.

Chicken Schnitzel

Had a great experience at Motek! Came on a Tuesday night during Thanksgiving week, had a 7:45 reservation and it was PACKED! I was visiting from out of town, so not that familiar with the area so parking and finding the actual restaurant was a little confusing, would've been helpful more signs. Our server was great in explaining Motek's background and food inspiration, and reviewing the menu items. My friend and I both got the chicken schnitzel which was cooked to perfection, had a small salad on the side and a delicious lemony sauce for the chicken. I got a side of the fries and my friend got the lemon potatoes. Food was a little pricey, especially everything a la cart ($12 for the lemon potatoes, $9 for a side of fries, $26 for the chicken schnitzel which). For dessert I had to try the pistachio cheesecake and it did not disappoint. Very creamy and flavorful, loved the raspberries on top! Would highly recommend.

Dvash just doesn't miss. I usually go for the Bird's Nest, elite brunch choice, but switched it up…read morewith the smash burger today. Zero regrets. So good. Also, their hummus is the best I've ever had. Not even close. I've been coming here for years and it's still consistently on point. High quality ingredients, great vibe, and they keep things fresh with rotating artwork, which I actually notice and appreciate. My husband and I sat at the bar this morning and, once again, solid all around. If you haven't tried it yet, you're late.

Wow! This place is truly a hidden gem in Boca. I was a little skeptical before coming, but they…read morecompletely proved me wrong. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor to the point where I honestly didn't even mind what I spent. I went with a group, and we had such a fun time. We ordered several appetizers for the table, while others got entrées, so we were able to try a little bit of everything. The ambiance was really nice. We sat inside, and while it was a little tight, it felt cozy and welcoming. They also have a patio area with lights and heaters that looked beautiful and very inviting. The service was okay overall. Everything came out correctly, but when it was time for the checks, they weren't split. Since we were a party of six, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I would definitely go back and try more. I shared the egg plant hummus with the warm pita bread, the fig and goat cheese pizza, so much flavor, the shiitake dumplings were so good, the amount of mushroom to dumpling was great, the peanut sauce was very light and delicious. The beef arayes was ok, the cumin was a little much for me.
