    Wow! I had such a great time here. We strolled in after a little shopping spree. We showed up around happy hour and we did our big one! AJ was an amazing bartender, attentive and anticipated our every need even amidst a chaotic bar. I would be back even for those cocktails alone. So good! Will be back 100%! Don't overlook this place :)

    Moroccan Fish
    Aria S.

    I was craving good middle eastern stew so went there for the Moroccan Fish. It didn't disappoint! The fish was flaky, the tomato sauce was spicy and the side green pepper was a perfect complement, The bread was so good I had to actively stop eating it and dipping it in the sauce. I'd totally get it again. Service was efficient. It's in the top floor of the mall so may patrons had shopping bags and had a casual feel.

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Illy I.

    Visited the brickell location and it did not disappoint!! We went for lunch and I got the chicken shawarma bowl, it was so good!! The chicken is so flavorful and I love the veggies that it comes with!!! Overall 10/10 food choice!! Our server was very nice and attentive and we had a good meal here!

    Falafel
    Rachel L.

    Went here for their happy hours but missed it, they changed to new hours. Still got the hummus and falafel to share, and a beer. We sat at outdoor, it's mid March, it's pretty cool and not hot. Our Serbian server/ manager (didn't get his name), is very friendly and welcoming. Both hummus, the bread that comes with it and the falafel are all delicious. Solid 8/10. I feel like this is a great spot for vegetarians because their vegetarian dishes are so flavourful already. Looking forward to try their meat dishes next time, the bread is really good, love the texture and the right amount of burnt/ grill?

    Food so good I forgot to take pictures. I will never say a bad thing about Motek - the vibe is so cute, the food is exceptional and I always have great service. My friend and I tried to grab a seat for happy hour but weren't able to (it's only star bar and high tops) but we opted to come back a few hours later for a full meal. I will never not order the traditional hummus and pita. This time, we also tried the Moroccan cigars and crispy pita. Previously, I also love the cabbage salad, any of their flatbreads and the the other dips/spreads they have. YUM. I will definitely be back!

    Turkish lamb kebab
    Sumi K.

    Mediterranean@ Brickell City center, Miami The restaurant was very large with a nice vibe with indoor and outdoor seatings. We were able to get in without reservation for Thursday nite dinner. The hostess and our server were friendly. All the dishes we ordered tasted really delicious! The babaganoush tasted great with hot grilled pita bread. The fennel pomegranate salad was tasty with feta cheese. Enjoyed middle eastern dumplings with the white sauce and crispy cauliflower was sweet and savory. The Turkish lamb kebab was cooked just right with a grilled vegetables. The award winning arayes burger was very unique. We initially had to ask for the plates to be changed but after that they paid more attention to us. 20% service charge was automatically included. We enjoyed our dinner very much.

    I came here today to quality control the menu for an upcoming high end dinner I am planning. I was very impressed with the amazing service and attention that my server Ilyan provided me with. I ordered the Za'atar Greek salad that was phenomenal. The vegetables were so fresh and the salad dressing was super tasty! The presentation was very appealing to the eye. Last but not least the ambiance was exceptionally beautiful! I will be back very soon to enjoy a nice dinner here!

    Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Ben L.

    We found this place by accident and it was a wonderful experience. The vibe is pretty and chill. The inside is amazing and very photo friendly, the service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! We got the chicken Shawarma sandwich, and the chicken Shawarma plate with some fries and a fennel pomegranate salad. The Chicken Shawarma plate was really good and in my opinion, definitely worth it. The bite was rich, but not overly so the greens were deliciously salted/seasoned. It had some kind of sauce on them. The chicken had a little bit of heat and a hint of smoke. The Fennel pomegranate salad I wasn't a huge fan of. The orange pieces in the salad were good, had just a hint of spiciness of some kind and was not overly sweet but I think next time I would get a different salad instead. They have indoor and outdoor seating so if you want, you could sit outdoors and people watch. We chose to sit indoors and face out the windows because the sun was blasting us and we wanted the AC.

    Crispy Eggplant
    Paulet D.

    Such a cute location in brickell city center with indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Happy hour only applies to the bar or high tops which we weren't aware but we still went for lunch and had a great meal. The service was fast and food came out fresh, hot, and hot. The hummus was creamy and delicious. The basket of lollipops were spicy yet tender. The crispy eggplant was a great addition. The spicy mescal margarita was refreshing. Overall, great choice for lunch.

    The hostess at Motek was very friendly and took us to our table as soon as we checked in. Seconds after sitting down the waiter came with menus and filled up our glasses with water. I really loved the ambiance of Motek. My group was seated close to the kitchen window so it was fun to see the orders come out and watch the chefs prepare the food. There were a lot of food options and since I went with a big group we were able to try many options. The fried eggplant appetizer was definitely my favorite. It was super crispy on the outside and it came with really good tzatziki. The red bell pepper with feta dip was also very tasty and went well with the pita. The salmon skewers were also cooked perfectly. They were crispy on the outside but also melt in your mouth on the inside. I only tried the ribeye as my main and it was cooked perfectly. The salt on the side and the chimichurri were a nice addition to the dish.

    Pastrami flatbread
    Monae S.

    After walking this massive mall, I was starving. Motek was on my radar, so we made our way to top floor for some much needed lunch. Upon our arrival, we saw that it was happy hour. They had a $5 dollar menu that was just right to try a few dishes. We ordered quite a bit. It came out pretty quickly and was just the amount of bites needed to get me going for the walk back to the hotel. The highlights for me were the pastrami flat bread and the chicken wrap. Both were very very good. I would definitely go again.

    Lamb Shawarma Plate
    Christopher B.

    This place always does a fantastic job. The food is so incrediubly homemade and fresh. Paired with the decor of the restaurant, I truly feel like I'm out of the country on holiday visiting another country in the mediterranean. The bar is located in the Brickell City Centre and marvelously designed and decorated. The hanging plants and lights add a special touch to an already great restaurant that delivers when it comes to the foods and beverages. The bar is huge and widely available for many guests during the day and evening. The server staff and bussers also appear very knowledgeable about their food and culture as well. Management has been noticed stopping by tables and enduring guests' satisfaction which, as a former restaurant employee, I really appreciate. The best is the Lamb Shawarma hands down. It pairs with a delicious tahini sauce and huge green pepper you can bite for added spice. The portion is plentiful, and I highly recommend on your next visit.

    Ronald S.

    I really like Motek, it's a beautiful restaurant but being in the city center creates a little bit of chaos. It's a lot going on around you but the actual restaurant is really nice. The Halloumi Dates and cheese really explored a different taste pallet giving an explosion of unique flavors in every bite. I had the lamb shawarma plate and it was great, I tried the Arayes burger which was really good and didn't disappoint. My co worker had the Waygu burger which he said was really good. All in all it's a great spot, I would rather the regular restaurants that aren't in the mall because it feels almost like a food court and I don't think Motek and food court go together. Highly recommend giving them a try....

We went to Santorini for our honeymoon and my husband and I were celebrating our 16th anniversary. Reservations are hard to get here, especially on the weekend. Luckily I have Gold Status with OpenTable through work and was able to get on the Priority Notify list where I would be the first to know when tables open up on my desired date/time. And that's how we snagged this reservation on OpenTable on a busy Saturday on our actual anniversary. Woot woot!!! First off, this spot is ALL THE FEELS!!! So beautiful and absolutely charming. Just like Santorini. When we arrived, we checked in and only waited for maybe 10 minutes until they sat us. Meanwhile, there were many people waiting. When our table was ready, the hostess seated us to this cute little two top towards the back area, very intimate. For our anniversary, they gave us complimentary champagne. Very cool. Matias was our server and he was wonderful. Informative, attentive and friendly. They had small menu with specials for the day along with their regular menu. Below is everything we ordered: * Karpouzi Fresco $21 * Baked Feta $18 * Grilled Grouper with Orzo $42 * Grilled Lamb Chops $61 Got the Karpouzi Fresco with watermelon, mint, prosecco. The cocktail was perfect for the ambiance and so refreshing. Baked Feta was ridonkulously good with heirloom tomatoes with greek oregano and sumac. So fresh with lots of flavor and served with warm bread right out of the oven. Dinner was at another level and incredibly generous portions but also ELITE!!! Grilled Grouper with orzo was nice and the small shrimp was a nice surprise, funny enough when this dish came out, the grouper was hidden under the orzo and we thought they brought out the wrong dish. That was odd. Grilled Lamb Chops were cooked on point and so juicy with good flavor. Everything was just delicious! We opted not to have desserts here as we wanted to walk around Miami and find another spot for dessert. All in all, we had a lovely anniversary dinner and this place was perfect. So happy we finally got to come here. It's just as charming as the photos show. If you want a small piece of Greece, come here. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It has all the Santorini vibes!

For appetizers, we ordered the Ali Nazik and Eggplant Carpaccio. The Ali Nazik was phenomenal. We were given a side of bread, which paired really well with the dish. The lamb was packed with flavor, and the smoked eggplant yogurt was fire. The two complemented each other perfectly. The Eggplant Carpaccio was good as well. I will say, though, that if you aren't a fan of dishes with a heavy vinegar flavor, this may not be for you. I'd also be curious to see how this dish would taste served warm. For our entree, we ordered the Beef Souvlaki, which came with six skewers of filet mignon. The beef was perfectly cooked and very tender, so no complaints there. However, the rest of the dish didn't really stand out to me. The fries were decent, but nothing crazy. As a first-time visitor, I also feel like this probably wasn't the best dish to order if you want to get a full sense of what the restaurant has to offer. One of my biggest disappointments was that the restaurant primarily had outdoor seating. Maybe it was just the night we went, but it was extremely hot and humid, and the fans in our area weren't cutting it. It was also very dark, making it difficult to see the menus and even our food. I think better lighting, especially toward the front of the restaurant, would make a big difference. The food came out very quickly, which we appreciated. I do wish our server had been a little more helpful, though. We wanted to learn more about the menu and were hoping for some guidance and recommendations, but he didn't really guide us through the menu the way I had hoped. Overall, Mandolin was a solid experience, and the Ali Nazik in particular was a standout. I'd be interested in coming back and trying some of their other dishes to get a better feel for what the restaurant does best.

Tucked away in a quiet corner on the water, the moment you walk in, you're transported into what feels like an eclectic Mediterranean cave. The warm textures, glowing lights, and tranquil atmosphere instantly set the mood. It's unexpected, inviting, and the perfect escape from the city's hustle. But let's talk about the real star--the food. I had the chance to experience both the Miami Spice dinner menu and Sunday brunch, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite dish if I tried. Every plate was beautifully presented, full of fresh coastal flavors, and had its own unique twist. Whether you're craving seafood, brunch classics, or something adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. What makes Yaya's even more special is the experience. Thank you to Angel who is a dear friend and the guy to go see....grab a table by the water, watch the boats drift by, and if you time it right, enjoy a magical full moon night complete with live DJs and mesmerizing fire dancers. It's dinner with a show, Miami style. If you're looking for more than just a meal--for a place that captures the energy, beauty, and waterfront magic of Miami--Yaya's Coastal Cuisine deserves a spot on your list. Come hungry, stay for the ambiance, and let the night surprise you. I promise you its worth every penny!

We repeatedly had to go out of our way to flag someone down just to order drinks or check on our food, while noticing that nearby tables were consistently attended to without issue. It genuinely felt like we were being overlooked, which made the entire experience frustrating and uncomfortable. What made matters worse is that gratuity was automatically included, so we were forced to tip for service that simply did not meet even basic expectations. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this experience stood out for the wrong reasons. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to ensure all guests receive equal attention and service.
