    New Kitchen!
    Virginia C.

    Best Lamb Shawarma in South Florida!!!! This place renovated their kitchen and it looks amazing! The portions are BIG and the food is delicious! Highly recommend this place to all my friends and family! On a side note get ready to pay a little more than usual. Is is a little pricey, but SO worth it! I also love the fact that they have a salad bar that you can help yourself too!

    Humus, Shwarma and eggplant of many types. Great food Nice pickled extras bar American and Israeli drinks. Right on Stirling road just past the Seminole Hard Rock.

    I've been coming to this place for a little while now and not sure why I haven't reviewed it yet. First and foremost the place could use a bit of a revamp and maybe some remodeling of the floors and the bathrooms. Doesn't look terrible but could be better. But what really matters is the food right? They prep each mornings so the ingredients are always fresh! Usually, I get a pita with falafels or a pita shawarma. For both, I have them put Turkish and Israeli salad inside the pita along with hummus and this hot sauce they have. I don't shy on the eggplant and the red cabbage either. They usually top it off with this yogurt sauce (must have, gives it so much flavor!!!) or they serve it in a small side cup for you to dip it with. There is so much texture on every bite that your taste buds just wanna thank you! If you're in the mood for a good vegetarian lunch. Try the falafel on a pita. If you're a carnivore, get the shawarma with the pita. You can't go wrong with both!

    I am a non-kosher client who can from my humble opinion say this is the best shawarma plate that I have ever had. They are very generous in serving at a very reasonable price considering they are 100% kosher. Small place you would never imagine the quality of their food! Highly recommend this place. We stopped by for lunch super quick service and simply the best!!!!

    Not sure what happened. I used to love the burgers from here, but today $15 for this tiny burger, very little toppings, the bread tastes like is from last year, it so hard I couldn't eat it and the meat had no flavor, just freezer taste. Very sad and disappointed.

    YES!!!! When I visit Miami Pita Star is a must. Its almost like I'm visiting Israel. The taste is so authentic, and the Tahini is so good!!!

    What a great place! If you love middle eastern food you're going to love this place. I had to go up to Fort Lauderdale on a weekday and not knowing the area, yelped to see what was available for lunch close by. This place came up and I headed over there. It is located in a small shopping center, when you go into the restaurant there is a counter with different types of salads on the left and there's is also a complimentary salad bar for customers on the right. I ordered a falafel platter and the server asked me what sides I wanted, he suggested I get a little bit of everything and I followed his advice. The food was delicious, the falafel was cooked after I ordered it and the salads were excellent. It is very hard to find a good middle eastern place in South Florida but this place was a great choice. I liked it a lot and plan to return to try other dishes.

    Found this steakhouse on the AADVANTAGE dining program…read more Olives and pita bread are served complimentary. There are no cocktails on this Saturday night. I don't know if it's standard practice. From the looks of what would be the bar, I assume there is no liquor license. Many bottles of wine and limited beer options and no liquor bottles. The waiter said the owner doesn't serve cocktails tonight. ‍‍ The ice machine was broken. For the prices on menu items, there's no way that's acceptable. They could have brought in bags of ice, and we would have never known. We had no ice to go with our water and coke, and the beer was barely cool. Finally, we see bags of ice brought in and wasn't offered any. ‍‍ Tomahawk steak medium well was good, but I needed a little more seasoning. Mash potatoes tasted like freshly smashed potatoes and needed a little salt and butter, and the oyster mushrooms were a bit chewy with a charred taste. 3 Lamb chops were serves medium rare so it was requested to be well done then it was good, the spinach was bitter with no flavor and the rice tasted old as it was leftovers from previous day or days. Rice didn't taste freshly cooked at all. Bone in Ribeye medium rare was good with a Cesar salad that tasted strange. The Cesar dressing tasted like a blue cheese mixed with ranch and a vinegar. I don't know it just wasn't a good Ceasars dressing, and it was iceberg lettuce, not romaine. Overall, they prepared good steaks and good lamb chops, but they need to step it up on the sides. For the price of steak, they need to give a better portion and more than 3 lamb chops. For the quality of food it's an overpriced restaurant. Though the digital menu is up with technology, it's not truly functional. It's not user-friendly for older persons, and it had a glitch. They should consider a QR code. Overall, the ambiance is nice. The food was ok but overpriced. Stop in to support a small business. 1 issue I did have, the waiter didn't help us while ordering. My dad ordered rice with his lamb chops, not knowing that it came with rice, and the waiter said nothing. I was bothered, but 2 sides come with the steaks. My son didn't order any sides, so I requested that the rice be a side of my son's order. They corrected that with no problem. the spinach and the rice were removed from the bill. Customer service was decent.

    One of the best experience I've ever had really enjoyed all of the food that came. The service was…read moretop-notch really recommended this place to a lot of my friends.

    I had brunch here this past Sunday with a few friends, and once again Café Noir did not disappoint!…read moreWhile it's a kosher dairy restaurant (no meat is served), they offer an excellent selection of breakfast, lunch, fish, and sushi. Even if you don't keep kosher, it's absolutely worth a visit because the food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. I ordered the Breakfast for Two (about $38), which was an incredible value. It included cappuccinos, fresh orange juice, three eggs per person, a croissant, your choice of a baguette or multigrain bread, individual salads, and an impressive tower of spreads including tuna salad, feta, olives, pickles, and more. Everything was fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented. One of my friends ordered the Eggs Benedict. It normally comes with smoked salmon, but the staff was happy to accommodate her request to substitute mushrooms instead, which we really appreciated. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating--we chose to sit inside since it was a hot South Florida morning. One fun touch was that the menu was displayed on an iPad, which made browsing the extensive menu easy and interactive. If you're looking for a wonderful brunch or lunch spot with fresh, high-quality food, generous portions, and excellent service, I highly recommend Café Noir. It's become one of my favorite places, and I'll definitely be back!

We went on a Monday night around 7pm and it was packed. We sat at the bar and got served right away. The ambience is dark light, music and sparkles for birthdays. The waitresses at the bar were friendly and tentative. The menu is unique, especially being a dairy kosher spot. We tried the spicy tuna roll to start which was fresh. My mom got the salmon Asian salad, which came out before my main meal, which was kinda annoying since she had majority of her meal by the time I got mine, but I got the baked ziti and it came steaming hot! I kid you not it was steaming for a good 5-10 minutes but I really love this dish. Highly recommend for pasta lovers. Prices are higher per usual for a kosher spot but definitely worth a visit. Would love to come back to the more dishes.
