    Always one of my favorite bowls to order when im in a rush or when im having a movie night and want a healthy comfort food. I always get the build your own bowl and usually get the brisket and the spicy chicken. For a base i usually get the greens and lentils. their toppings are the BEST part. I get the spicy hummus, the feta hummus (my favorite), and the tzatziki. I add olives, feta, cucumber, banana peppers, tomato, and the spicy sumac sauce on top!! huge portion and delicious

    Heads up -- parking is in a small shared lot down a back street, so spaces can be limited. Inside, the restaurant is bright, clean, and offers plenty of seating. Service was fast and friendly, and our to-go order came in a sturdy reusable bag that kept everything warm. I ordered the Slow Cooked Chicken platter and my husband had the Spicy Roasted Chicken platter -- both were delicious! I also tried the vegetable soup, which was equally tasty. Highly recommend this spot, and I'll definitely be back.

    Really good Fast food - chipotle-ish restaurant. The hummus was great! I would go back!

    The food was very fresh and the staff was extremely welcoming! I enjoyed how clean the environment was and how the staff made sure we had everything we needed. A place you can enjoy a nice meal and still feel healthy! 10/10

    Great service, the servers were helpful. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. The snapper was juicy and delicious. I large improvement from the last time I ordered snapper.

    Came back here for a quick meal and it was wonderful. If you're looking for a distinct bowl with a ton of vegetable, toppings and protein options, rice Mediterranean kitchen is the place for you. The portions are very generous and the service is friendly. You can have a healthy Persian bowl while listening to Persian music. Decided to try a completely new bowl and it was fantastic.

    Chicken Joojeh Platter
    Mia M.

    *Disclaimer I have made this review solely as someone who orders takeout* Rice Mediterranean is such a hidden gem! They have several locations but my home store is the one located in South Miami. I can say that this place really hits the spot! I typically opt for the Chicken platter and it doesn't miss! Not once! The chicken is nicely flavored and has a slight citrus taste to it (which I always love). The rice is always cooked well. And I love how they offer the sauces and dressing for the salad. And they give you nice portions! Only grievance I could possibly think of is having a bit more pita bread to be portioned out with the amount of hummus we get. Presentation is alwayssss there and as far as service is involved although I cannot speak about quality of customer service as I've only ever ordered delivery I can say they NEVER mess up my order! They also give plenty of sauce and utensils. Food is always of quality no matter what location I have ordered from which is so rare! Definitely 100% recommend.

    Delicious food with a good portion to feed an empty stomach. I had a chance to visit this place during the week since I was in the area. Parking wasn't too bad, there are some spots available in front of the business and also there is a parking meter option in case there are none available. Immediately was assisted when you walk in, and created a bowl of my own. Service was fast and recommendations were made. You can either pick a meal that already comes with everything or you can make your own bowl. Great location as far as seating goes, lots of tables and chairs. Pricing is about $15, and that's at the moment. So, if you're planning on having a family meal with about 4-5 people, the cost will add up. But it's worth it in my opinion, you just have to be in the mood for it. Definitely will come back.

    A bug

    Finding a huge bug in your food is an experience i never would've thought i had in my life very disgusted.

    Chicken Kabob Plate
    Albert B.

    I generally liked my experience at this place. The restaurant is modern, nicely designed, and very clean. The menu isn't big, but offers a variety of options. I decided to try the Chicken Kabob Plate, which includes chicken (all white meat), white rice, Greek salad, a slice of pita bread, a scoop of hummus, and some sauces on the side. I was able to modify the Greek salad by removing some vegetables, which was a plus for me, and I liked the result. The salad was very nice, and all the vegetables and feta cheese were fresh. However, the slice of pita bread was too small and a bit dry. The rice was also a little dry; I expected it to be softer and more flavorful, especially with the restaurant's name focusing on rice. But the chicken kabob was super tasty and delicious! I also liked the sauces; they gave the chicken a nice flavor. I paid $15.99 for this meal, and I think this price is fair because the plate was large and filled with food. I couldn't finish all the rice even though it was my first meal of the day and I was very hungry. So, keep in mind the size of the Chicken Kabob Plate and don't order extra food to avoid wasting it. A small bottle of sparkling mineral water cost $2.99. Unfortunately, the beverage options at the restaurant were very limited, and they should add more soft drinks to the menu. The guy who took my order was very nice, sweet, and helpful with advice about the food. The service was fast; I got my food about 8 minutes after ordering, but I must point out that the restaurant was pretty empty when I arrived. The restaurant's location is great, just across the street from the South Miami Metro Station and a few blocks from Sunset Place Shopping Mall. My first experience at this restaurant was smooth and mostly pleasant, so I'm sure I will come back soon to try something different from the menu.

    Uber eats order from here for the first time and was not disappointed. I loved it so much i want to actually go to the restaurant now.

    Wild Caught Snapper Fish Platter
    Puja N.

    I order frequently from rice. They have super fresh fish and ingredients and are consistently good and on time. My favorite is the snapper fillet, it's a good portion seasoned well and the salad is amazing, ( def ask for more feta) I also enjoy the hummus. My favorite sauce is the spicy sumac which has a good kick. When I called them previously they were able to answer my question about the fish ounces without any judgment. Definitely come here for excellent fresh food with good portions and great flavor

    Build your own bowl

    Excellent food! I've wanted to visit Rice for a long time. I went on the recommendation of my Dr. I ordered a bowl with beluga black lentils and lettuce. I added raw carrots, cucumber, cabbage, and tomatoes, a shredded chicken, three different "dips"; hummus, a charred carrot tahini, and a honey nut feta. I also added some avocado, feta, and roasted vegetables. Then I topped it with some tahini and sumac sauce. It was so fresh and delicious! I got a side of the whole wheat pita chips. Altogether my meal was $20. They also have outdoor seating, which I like. So healthy and reasonably priced! I'll definitely be back again soon!

    Not my cup of tea. The taste food more like Indian food rather than Mediterranean. And very pricey for a bowl! Wouldn't go back.

Ghormeh sabzi was solid overall and still good, but it wasn't my favorite this time--the meat wasn't as tender as I'd hoped, and there wasn't much meat in the portion. I also wish they'd included sumac in the bag (it's a small thing, but it makes a big difference!). That said, I'll always come back here--it's reliable, flavorful, and feels like family cooking. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Persian food!

When we arrived, it was the middle of the day and there were only about two people there, so it wasn't busy at all. Right away, the vibe felt off. When we asked about Persian rice with tahdig or any stews, we were told they didn't have any. No explanation, no apology, nothing. It almost felt like they were halfway shut down or just didn't care anymore. What really bothered me is that this is Persian food we're talking about. Rice is a core part of the cuisine, and making it during the day is not some impossible task. The lack of effort and the dismissive attitude were pretty concerning. Instead of feeling welcomed, it felt irritating and uncomfortable, like our presence was an inconvenience rather than customers coming in to eat. I've reviewed their other location before, and even then, I felt like the hype didn't really match the experience. After this visit, I can confidently say it's just not worth it. Between the weird energy, missing staple items, and lack of care, this location in particular really missed the mark.

It is not Indian, Lebanese, or Turkish, but something in-between. If you like to try different food and flavors, you must try it, and the best place to try authentic Iranian food is Kuluck.

You can try kebab over rice (definitely get Kubideh or beef kebab I think is on the menu), or if you want more of a comfort food, try one of the stews. Ghormeh Sabzi (Beef & Green Herb Stew) is a must for a first timer, then you can try Gheyme (Yellow Split Pea Stew), Bedemjoon (Eggplant), and Fesenjoon (Chicken Pomegranate Stew) I can't name everything you must try.
