    I went with some girl friends to try their food and we really enjoyed every bite. The food options are really unique and tasty. If you have a lot of allergies I don't recommend coming here because they had issues with trying to customize her order or maybe there was some miscommunication with her and the server. But their almond butter waffle was yummy, and we got a pomegranate and goat cheese omelette. Everything was super tasty and we enjoyed their smoothies too.

    Beautiful decor

    Food was simple and delicious. I was very happy with my selections but I definitely need to go back to try the waffles. I wouldn't say service was great but it was not bad. And the vibes were good. The place is always packed. It felt crowded to me at some point maybe because my table was close to a hight traffic corner. Beautiful Tulum vibes decoration. Lighting is dimmed, natural. I definitely recommend

    Nu omelet

    Love this place for breakfast after my Pilates class. All organic, seed oil free, amazing vibes. You're treated so well and it's so organic looking like the tables are all wood, so many plants, it's just delicious! I always get their omelete, add avocado and sourdough with a matcha latte!!

    Great and healthy built-your-own plate lunch option with a nice venue. Limited seating so be early

    This is still my favorite spot in Miami. Leaves me feeling full, healthy and happy. Staff is super nice, restaurant is cozy, menu items are unique, and food is served timely. I hope they make another location in Lakeland!

    Title: A Sunday Brunch Worth Raving About From the moment you walk into NU Real Food, you're welcomed by attentive staff who greet you right away and walk you through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. The service strikes a perfect balance between friendly and professional--truly top-notch hospitality. Atmosphere & Ambiance The restaurant gives off lush, natural vibes with sunlit interiors, potted greenery, and a minimalist aesthetic that feels fresh and inviting. It's the kind of space that encourages lingering over conversation and good food--casual yet thoughtfully curated. Food & Ingredients Vegan Quinoa Carotene Salad: A vibrant medley of white and black quinoa, carrot hummus, fennel, pumpkin, mixed seeds, and drizzle of extra‑virgin olive oil. Every bite had that satisfying nutty texture, balanced by the subtle sweetness of carrot hummus and earthy pumpkin First Watch +12 DoorDash +12 Instagram +12 . Build-your-own Plate (Chicken Thigh): A hearty portion of organic, free‑range chicken thigh marinated in thyme, ginger, and bay leaf, paired with your choice of carb, veggie, and sauce. We chose rice and salad, topped with char‑grilled avocado for creaminess, and the show‑stopping creamy truffled stracciatella sauce--rich, umami‑packed, and decadently flavorful Uber Eats +2 Postmates +2 Toast +2 . Greek Yogurt Bowl: Thick, tangy yogurt layered with fresh strawberries, banana, blueberries, pomegranate, gluten‑free granola, organic agave, and pumpkin seeds. The parfait looked beautiful and tasted even better. Ingredients felt high quality and thoughtfully paired Postmates +1 Toast +1 . Sweet GF Carrot Waffle: A gluten‑free carrot waffle topped with almond butter, fresh strawberries, banana, blueberry, pomegranate, shaved vegan chocolate, and coconut flakes--lightly sweet yet indulgent. The waffle had the perfect crisp-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside texture First Watch +7 Postmates +7 Toast +7 . Overall Experience Everything felt intentionally healthy, unprocessed, and bursting with flavor. The menu is rich in gluten‑free and vegan options, with Mediterranean-West Coast flair Toast . Portions were generous, leaving us full but not heavy. The staff's recommendations were spot-on and genuine, making the meal feel personalized rather than rushed. Final Thoughts NU Real Food isn't just another brunch spot--it's a brunch destination. Exceptional food, quality ingredients, beautiful setting, and stellar service. Whether you're plant-based, gluten-free, or just craving a delicious, wholesome meal, this place should be on your radar. Highly recommended!

    Sweet waffle

    This spot is my current obsession. I've heard of NU Real Food a few times since they opened but never had a chance to go check them out. Last Friday I decided to treat my self to a healthy treat as I was craving a guilt-free bite and decided to make my way over and try their carrot waffles. To start, the spit itself is so cute and aesthetically pleasing. They have this wabisabi/Tulum inspired vibe that makes a more casual spot already feel elevated. Perfect for friend hang outs, dates, or even solo lunches like I did. Now for the food... WOW I'm so impressed. The Mediterranean inspired menu items are not only delicious but knowing that they don't use seed oils, they use organic products and they have gluten free, vegan options was game changer. I tried their sweet waffle which was a carrot waffle topped with almond butter, strawberries, banana, coconut flakes, pomegranate and cocoa flakes -- the best sweet treat I've had in a while. They nailed it. I loved it so much that I decided to go on Sunday again to try their açaí bowl and avocado waffle topped with scrambled eggs and they nailed it again! Everything they make is guilt free and simply delicious! The staff is super welcoming, helpful and patient (as it took me a minute to scan the menu and decide what I wanted lol). Overall -- this spot is such a hit and I'm sure it's going to be extremely successful in Midtown. I can't wait to try out their lunch items and their baked goods!

    I am obsessed with their carrot waffles! They have the perfect amount of sweetness, and the fresh fruit toppings are delicious. I do wish they offered some kind of syrup to drizzle on top, as the waffles can be a bit dry, but they're still super tasty. The chicken pita sandwich is also a good choice--flavorful, light, and healthy. And I can't forget to mention the vanilla latte is amazing! I still crave it to this day. I visited on a Sunday, and while it was busy, the tables turned over quickly. The venue is nicely decorated, adding to the overall experience.

    Stopped in here for a coffee and got a brownie as well. Healthy food in peasant setting. The decor is comfortable and eclectic. This Mediterranean eatery is clean, bright but cozy at the same time. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. We ordered at the counter and our Coffee and row is were served at the table within minutes. With checking out of you are in the area.

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS!! Food - 5 Ambiance - 5+ Service - 5 Price-to-quality ratio - 5 Nu Real Food in Midtown has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood's vibrant food scene. It's my safe haven for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. The menu is refreshingly concise while still offering plenty of options. Whether you're in the mood for a crisp salad, a hearty plate, or something adventurous, Nu Real Food has got you covered. I recently tried the chicken thigh dish served with roasted sweet potatoes and a mix of quinoa and buckwheat, all on an avocado tahini bed. The flavors were exceptional--especially the chicken, which was perfectly marinated, juicy, and bursting with delightful herby notes. My friend had a similar plate but with a herb yogurt base instead. While I loved my avocado tahini version, the herb yogurt plate elevated the chicken in a completely different way, offering a tangy twist that paired beautifully. The ambiance exudes Mediterranean, beachy vibes, adding a relaxed, seaside feel to your dining experience. With an excellent price-to-quality ratio, Nu Real Food impresses on all fronts. I can definitely see myself returning again and again for more creative dishes and good times. Overall, every visit feels like a mini getaway, combining superb food with perfect vibes.

    Chocolate smoothie was good, not bad. Carrot waffle was inedible. I paid $16 for a dry waffle. Not worth it

    Delicious!
    Anna F.

    Your search for a delicious and nutritious meal is over. Nu Real Food has options for every diet need. As someone who is gluten-free, I greatly appreciate the variety of sans gluten options. I thought my days of eating eggs benedict were behind me. Luckily, Nu Real offers their benedict on top of a scrumptious GF carrot waffle. It was so good! Here's a tip: add some honey to the plain part of the waffle for a sweet and savory treat. For my beverage I drank a perfectly crafted matcha latte. On top of all this culinary delight, the restaurant's homey decor invites you to take your time enjoying your meal. Sit back against one of the plush pillows and take in the pleasant view. The neutral color scheme of wood, stone and cork has a calming effect. Don't stress about ordering. Just order at the counter and your freshly made food will be brought directly to you. This is what I call a fine dining experience.

    Tuna sandwich and carrot waffle avocado
    Michael T.

    A new healthy spot to add to the rotation when hitting up Midtown. Really enjoyed the quiet, the quick service, and unique menu items. Carrot waffle avocado was divine, as was the tuna filet black pita sandwich.

    Mandolin Aegean Bistro was high on our list mainly because the whole vibe feels like the closest…read morething to actually being in Santorini. 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!

    We visited Mandolin during our stay in Miami because we love Mediterranean cuisine, and overall, it…read morewas a solid experience. 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!
