Prefer the one in South Beach as this one is on the 4th floor, little annoying to get to and makes it feel like a cheap chain. Majority of the seating is "outdoor" so it gets warm with no breeze because its essentially in the atrium of the mall. Waiter rushed us and we had to ask if there were any specials- guess he forgot it in his schpiel? Although he was good at detailing what might be too filling, too much as we ordered for the group. Bread is amazing, everything else is not noteworthy. Lastly, they dont validate your parking - which is nuts because we were a group of 5, granted we had two separate bills, but spent oveer $250 and they cant validate just one parking spot? read more

The hummus is so good - it's thick and creamy, and the hot pita they serve it was was baked to perfection. Mmm, mmm, mmm! The service was so friendly at the bar with lots of recommendations as well. Pro tip: if you're not looking for booze, the rimonana drink is soooo good. I could have downed 10 of them. It's a pomegranate mint lemonade and to die for. read more

Mediocre at Best - 2 to 3 Stars This place was underwhelming. The "Turkish pita" should honestly be renamed "Italian pita"--it tasted more like Bolognese sauce than anything remotely Turkish. Most of the dishes felt like low-effort, low-ingredient mall food--bland and forgettable. Service was just okay, nothing to write home about. Wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

I went for Miami spice lunch after wanting to try this place for a while. I have heard mixed reviews and I can see why. The decor is beautiful. I love the florals and bar area for sure! However the food was average. For the price I dont personally feel its worth it. Its tasty and fresh enough but nothing too impressive. Lots of other similar food places much more casual have better food. Also my appetizer came with lots of hummus but a tinnnyy pita bread. I did love that bread though. I plan to come back as they have a happy hour menu that looks more reasonable in terms of cost. read more

We sat at the bar and AJ was our server. AJ was super warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The food was great as always; we come to Motek pretty often and it's consistently good. AJ also recommended an amazing drink that we ended up loving. Great service and a great spot--we'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Motek Brickell - Drink - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Some hits, some definite misses. The bread was delicious -- I really loved the touch of black seeds. The tzatziki was also really good. We ordered the "Belly Dancer" drink, which was fun, but super sugary -- and just a heads-up, it's not a real matcha drink, just a drizzle of matcha on top. Probably wouldn't order it again. The fennel and pomegranate salad was tasty, and that was another highlight. As for the rest: the baba ghanoush was way too smoky, borderline bitter. The staff did take it off our bill. The tuna tartar tasted like really poor-quality fish, and the rose lavender latte was overwhelmingly sweet. We also got the halloumi, which I wouldn't order again -- the cheese quality just wasn't there. The staff was nice, and the vibe of the place was great, but overall the food was very hit or miss. read more

What a phenomenal restaurant at brickell city center. This was our first visit and we can't wait to go back. The staff were so friendly and super knowledgeable. They took their time with us and really showed us a run down of the menu. From the flavors to the spice levels we loved every dish we ordered. The establishment was large and very beautiful with a nice open air breeze. Dessert is not to be missed! Great Aperol spritz as well. read more

This is one of my favorite places to come on my day off. I am a bartender myself at the hard rock so I have high standards when it comes to my drinks but my bartender AJ was phenomenal. He's very knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks that he's making and listens to your needs to personally customize and craft your favorite drink to perfection and I can't appreciate that enough! I'll be back way more often than I do now! read more

Great service, everything came out super quick which was good and bad. Our table was really small so it got crowded quickly as our dishes came out (and i couldn't take a picture of every dish as we were mid eating lol). I appreciated not having to wait very long, however, especially with how busy it was. Definitely a popular spot as evidenced by the full house. Only complaint about the ambiance would be that the music was a bit too loud to converse at a regular level. Food was good, not the most authentic or memorable, but good nonetheless. We got the mushroom hummus with pita, middle eastern dumplings, summer salad, and crispy cauliflower. We also got the guns n' roses cocktail, which was great. Standout was definitely the dumplings and the pita. read more

I have tried the Coral Gables location, but service and quality is just as great in Brickell! Went during lunch time and sat at the bar, and our server Maria was very attentive. Ordered the Nana Swizz as my drink and it was basically mojito with delicious blossom twist to it. The hummus is a must and comes with Lafa (warmest and most delicious one I've tried...open to try recommendations). Entree we got the falafel sandwich and the Jerusalem grilled cheese. Only "downside" is that we ordered no olives in the grilled cheese, but they also took off the roasted tomato. Other than that, great service and quality of food. read more

Christmas night celebration with the offspring was elevated, snacking and drinking here. The babaganoush was so good we ordered it twice. Can you tell I'm excited about it. Seriously, nothing better than a simple old world classic leveled up with quality execution and service. The sprinkle of pomegranate seeds and fresh baked pita made it bullet proof. We sampled the crispy artichoke and some flat breads, along with several craft cocktails. Everything was spot on and seemed to be prepared with love and attention to detail. The thing that suprised me the most was how quickly our stream of apps and cocktails came out. The staff couldn't have been more attentive or pleasant. This is my quick hit and run review for a restaurant that made our hit and run snacking session perfect. I will be back soon!! read more

Beautifully setup with open indoor and outdoor seating. Eye catching bar. Feels safe as it's at the top center of the mall. It wasn't too crowded, which was good for me but perhaps not the best for the restaurant (Monday night). Food was a bit hit or miss. I enjoyed the honey cauliflower starter. They had an off menu falafel dish that had a great salad. My main chicken kebob was mediocre. I didn't feel the used great cuts of meat. Flavors were ok. It didn't really come with sides. You're paying a bit for the space here, but I think the value falls short per the food quality. You'll get some decent flavors, but I can't say this is the best Mediterranean fare around. Our service was good. They auto add 20%. read more

Loved the ambiance of this place! Came here with my friend before heading to NYE festivities in the area and it did not disappoint. The Guns and Roses gin cocktail that I ordered was easily my favorite cocktail of the year. It tasted like amaretto, which I personally love the taste of. My friend ordered the old fashioned and was pleased with it. We had the babaganoush with pita, which was delicious. I'd never tried halloumi cheese until eating here - it was good but I'm not a big fan of the consistency and saltiness of it; if you like this kind of cheese though, I'm sure it's perfection. We also had the chicken shawarma, which came atop pita and was a 10/10. Our server checked in on us several times amid a very busy night for them. I definitely plan to check out their Gables location after this experience. read more

Really nice restaurant and staff. Location you overlook the mall and other restaurants. The food was amazing as well a lot of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. Falafel, cauliflower, eggplant, hummus were all very delicious packed with their own individual flavors and herbs. The drinks were refreshing placed in dope unique glass designs. Overall I was very pleased and would definitely return, my bestie was happy with her birthday lunch. read more

We just had a wonderful brunch at Motek being served by Valentina. The Motek Breakfast platter and The Turkish pita was wonderful. This is the third Motek I've visited this month (first in NY, second in South Beach, and now in Brickell) and each time has been a great experience. I truly hope they open a Motek in Los Angeles. read more

This was my second time at this location for happy hour, and it did not disappoint. I will say that although the happy hour menu states wines and beers they do provide half off on signature cocktails, and classic cocktails. That would be the new update in the menu, I just went in. The new update was not on the menu however, when you first walk into the restaurant, there is a menu with the happy hour. I highly recommend the salmon skewer and the chicken Shawarma Sandwich and the french fries were also really good.. read more

What made Motek worth returning to had nothing to do with the concept or the Instagram-ready aesthetic. It was the kitchen discipline and the floor presence, the two things you can't fake. Even after dining there on Christmas it was clear the kitchen clearly runs tight. Dishes hit the table with the kind of consistency that only comes from proper mise, good communication, and a TEAM who give a damn. Seasoning was on point across the board. Temperatures were right. Plating was clean without being fussy. It's the kind of execution that looks effortless to most diners but tells you everything about what's happening behind the line. No autopilot. No shortcuts. Just a crew that understands their role in the larger operation. And then there was Tomas. Worth the visit alone!! Tomas operates at a different level. He reads the table without being told, moves with rhythm, and knows when to engage and when to let the meal breathe. Not once did it feel like he was working from a script, he was providing true servcie. That's not something you can train into someone. You either get it or you don't. He does. What matters most is this: the kitchen and the floor are in sync. That's rare. Most places get one or the other right. Motek gets both. No smoke and mirrors, no branding hype, just solid fundamentals executed by people who know what they're doing and care about the outcome. That's what earns repeat business from someone who has seen enough to know the difference. I will not give it 5 stars, because they deserve 10! Thank you read more

As a Brickell local, I love exploring the businesses in the area -- and while Brickell is packed with great restaurants, it's the service that truly sets the best ones apart. Motek's happy hour is already a gem with $5 plates that are both delicious and generous, but what made my visit unforgettable was the incredible service from bartender Gary. His attention to detail, warm personality, and ability to craft a curated experience made all the difference. Gary didn't just serve drinks -- he created a welcoming atmosphere that stood out from other places I used to frequent. Thanks to the unbeatable combo of great value and exceptional service, Motek is now my new favorite spot in the neighborhood! read more

My boyfriend and I had never been here before so we decided to have lunch with his oldest daughter because she lives near by and we're so happy that we did. The food was spectacular and the service was top notch. I had a cocktail (watermelon cooler) and we split an appetizer among all 3 of us. The ambiance was nice, you could sit either outside or in. We chose in. And even though it was noisy, we could still hear each other talking. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy great Mediterranean cuisine in the Brickell area. Two thumbs up. read more

Ive been wanting to try Motek for a while and it opened in my neighborhood so I haaad to go! The place is really nice overall. There is patio seating if you want to people watch and a stunning indoor area with an exclusive room that i believe you can book for birthdays or larger dinners. The service was decent, drinks were good and food was amazing! We ordered a few mezzes and plates to share and everything was delicious. The table's favorites were Falafel + Lamb and Chicken kebabs. A few little details that I noticed and was not expecting; plates are kind of a plastic material, there was no linen napkins (just paper) and no coasters so the table gets super wet. I understand it's supposed to be a more casual restaurant, but since the place looks REALLY nice, i think the tableware could be improved to match the vibe. Overall, great restaurant. Will definitely be back soon! read more

I've left a review for Motek before, and I will do it again. You can't go wrong with this place. At brickell city center it's beautifully situated within the mall, and you can either go casually or dressed up. The watermelon cocktail is always delicious, and I get it every time I go here. Service is always great, this time we had a server who it was his second day and even still we were impressed. The arayes burger is an easy choice, super tender, and perfectly cooked, perfect to share amongst people because everyone gets one slider each if you're with a group of four. Great for a group who wants to try many dishes I tried the roasted eggplant and zucchini fritters this time, which I had never had before, and surprisingly, they were two of my favorite dishes. The tuna tartare was a basic dish, but cold and refreshing. The hummus mushroom is my favorite hummus of all time, and the friend I was with doesn't eat mushrooms and absolutely loved it. read more

Best experience! AJ the bartender is so knowledgeable and attentive! 10 stars!! Come to Motek!!

Wow this place is sick. Was a little hesitant going in since it's in a mall but this place is legit. Gary helped us first night, very friendly, bomb drinks and gave us some cool recs around town, he also suggested we come back for happy hour so we did the next day. AJ helped us this time. He was also awesome. Food was insanely fresh and perfect portions for happy hour. I would come here every day if I lived here. Ate too quick so can't post pics. Very chill ambiance very elevated but not pretentious read more
