    Absolutely gorgeous place. Great service from Oscar! Drinks were flowing, food kept coming. Can't wait to go back!

    Fried artichokes
    Jasmine T.

    Recently went for brunch and will definitely come back for more! Started with the most beautiful fried artichokes I've ever seen--the leaves were spread like blossomed flowers which made them so delicate with a light crisp. The heart was rather small but it was deliciously paired with a cilantro lime aioli and a fresh squeeze of lemon. We also had the French toast and a creamy mushroom truffle toast, both with thick slices of Japanese milk bread. These were both generous portions and quite filling. I especially loved the mushroom toast was loaded with mushrooms and full of umami. The restaurant is fresh and bright with a comfortable elegance and the staff were all attentive, welcoming, and friendly.

    Such a fun girls night at motek. His name was Robin and she was so awesome. She went over how the males usually go as well as gave. Great recommendations. Definitely a place you want to come with friends so that you can share all the things and try different things.

    Came with a friend for brunch. I ordered coffee, a big disappointment it was brown water. The server did not offer or bring milk or a spoon. She also never came back to ask if I want a refill. We came at 11. And it was my breakfast. My friend ordered lunch items. They all tasted good. Humus is creamy & lemony, a nice twist. Schnitzel very thin. Will return but not for breakfast. Poor service!

    Telling me that the AC was out, less than 90 minutes prior to my reservation

    AVOID MOTEK BOCA RATON AT ALL COSTS. I made a reservation and provided my credit card as required. Approximately 90 minutes before the reservation, Motek texted me to say the restaurant's air conditioning was not working. I canceled only because of the conditions they reported and specifically asked for confirmation that I would not be charged the $40 reservation fee. Motek assured me in writing that I would not be charged. They charged me anyway. Since then, I have sent two emails, left five voicemails, and made approximately 20 unanswered phone calls. Not one person from the restaurant has acknowledged the issue or offered any assistance. I have now been forced to open a fraud claim with my bank. Even more disturbing, my bank informed me that Motek apparently processed the charge as a recurring monthly payment--not simply a one-time reservation charge. I never authorized Motek to establish recurring payments of any kind. Charging me after explicitly promising not to do so was unacceptable. Refusing to respond after dozens of attempts to resolve the issue has made the situation even worse. I will never give this restaurant my business, and I will actively warn others about this experience. Any establishment that requires access to customers' credit cards should be held accountable for how that information is used. Based on the unauthorized charge, its apparent designation as a recurring payment, and management's complete failure to respond or be reachable by phone, web, or email, I strongly recommend avoiding Motek Boca Raton.

    A feast they didn't leave us uncomfortably full.

    Not my first time here but this restaurant keeps getting better and better. Paige, our hostess set us up to be in Jeff's space for the afternoon. Jeff was a phenomenal gastronomic dude for our trip to Motek. Everything flowed perfectly and we ate until our hearts were content. Not belly's full. Which I think is a cool distinction. Here you want to fuel and feast but never overdo it.

    Absolutely phenomenal, must-try restaurant! The moment you walk in, the energy is undeniable, the decor is relaxed Mediterranean chic, and the music selection is a whole lot of fun. It's most definitely the beach vibes you would want out of a South Florida Mediterranean restaurant. The staff was super attentive, welcoming, and efficient which is exactly what great hospitality staff should be like. And the food... absolutely delectable. We ordered the pastrami pita (flatbread) and tuna tartare for the table which were both stupendous. The tuna tartare was refreshing and light while still packing great flavor and the flatbread was super well balanced and delicious. My husband ordered the ribeye on bread which was a smoky carnivorous dream and right up his alley. And I ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich which was perfection, every part of the sandwich played a strong role in making the whole a perfect bite. The broccolini was also very tasty, it had a good amount of smoke to it and great crunch. It is most definitely a must-try restaurant if you haven't tried it yet, our only negative was that it was definitely rather hot inside the restaurant. But other than that it was a great experience!

    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

    Went for happy hour! Amazing selection of eats and drinks....even though they did run out of a few items, the overall experience was worth the 40 minute drive for me. Our server, Nico tried his best and at times seemed a little distracted but overall he got the job done and for anyone that knows Motek, knows that the ambiance does transport you...definitely making you feel as if you left Florida and dining in a foreign land. Love this spot for Happy Hour and would highly recommended it to anyone!

    The amazing Kaylee!!!
    Diane W.

    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.

    I went to Motek to celebrate my birthday and the $5 Happy Hour is a true bang for your buck! You would think the quality would be less being cheaper, but the strnght of the drinks and quality of food were amazing! Not only did I have great service, but the music and environment they create ensures I will be back soon.

    Crispy cauliflower
    Anjali B.

    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!

This restaurant is Located in a "Class C center "... clue #2. When we entered we were the only people inside as another couple was leaving with take-out. While we waited to order we failed to see any employees for a few minutes.. clue #3. Finally a woman in middle eastern attire showed up & we ordered. 1 Greek salad with Gyro meat & 1 Gyro platter with yellow rice, French fries, hummus & pita bread. 15 minutes later it was ready & we were ready to pay for it. Clue #4. The Greek salad was small & the meat was not those long cuts of delicious lamb, but rather tidbits or remnants of lamb pieces. No Feta cheese to be found either. It was edible but underwhelming. My platter was anything but a platter... because it all was crammed into a styrofoam box with little compartments. The lamb was a super small portion of the same chopped lamb remnants more like lamb hash. The rice was white not yellow...I ordered fries and got a morsel of salad instead....no hummus present but I think it was babaganoush... and no pita bread anywhere to be found! What a disaster! Now I'm mad that I left a Tip. Furthermore the prices on the in store menu are not the same as your final ticket. I was charged $16.99 for my platter when the menu clearly states $15.99. This was the most disappointing Mediterranean food I have ever had in the 11 years living in this area. I usually love supporting local independent businesses but in this case I highly recommend you DO NOT support this Family business until they improve the Food, the service & the prices Charged. We in Boca Raton know better Food and deserve better than this attempt. As a YELP Elite reviewer and a Food & Beverage Executive I'll state that This restaurant isn't worthy of our residents support.

The outdoor seating was a nice present from Mother Nature. The lighting was low, romantic, and inviting.

He was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. He even told the manager it was my birthday, which led to a complimentary mint tea and a tray of pastries that felt like a little celebration all on its own. I've eaten Mediterranean food all over the world in my previous career, so hummus is a non negotiable for me. Theirs was smooth and flavorful. The signature mixed grill was the real star. Tons of variety, generous portions, and incredible value. Our entire meal came to about fifty dollars before tip, which felt like a steal. It was a magical end to an already spectacular day. Thank you to the team at Shish Grill for making a memory I'll carry with me for a long time.

I'm not usually a big fan of Kosher restaurants - they are overpriced and it feels like you are just paying for the Kosher certification (the food is nothing special) but we were meeting family friends here so we gave it a shot, and were really impressed with our meal here. For a Kosher restaurant the price point was reasonable - a little more expensive than a typical restaurant but not by much. Portion sizes were big and the plates were great for sharing family style for the table. We started with the wonton soup and it was a big hit. A few more people at the table had to order their own cup of soup after trying it because it was so good. We ordered the chicken gyozas, vegetable fried rice, chicken and vegetables, orange chicken, and the crispy beef noodles for the table and everyone shared. Every dish was unique and absolutely delicious. The food arrived fast which was great as well. Sometimes with large parties you have wait forever for all the food to be ready but for our table of 6 we waited maybe 15 mins before the food was ready. Everyone was happy! Service was excellent as well. They checked on our table regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, were very attentive, and friendly and made great recommendations for dishes to try. The restaurant itself had a great atmosphere. We really loved all the different colored umbrellas suspended from the ceiling it was a beautiful touch to the restaurant and looked like a work of art.
