Once more cane to Shalom Haifa as this is the best falafel and babaganoush in Miami hands down! Too bad that yesterday they were out of the babaganoush but we had the eggplant salad that is very good as well... I am not a Hummus person, but my family tells me that it is very good!! The pita is warm and good... they do serve several appetizer salads "on the house " which I find very nice! My daughter had the parguiot "chicken" that was very good and tasty!!! Diet coke is on a can!!! Love it!!! The place is clean and service is quite good by the owner... this is a family ran business, so they have not let down quality!! They have tip included and they do tell you when the check arrives.... CONGRATS for that.... All in all, will keep coming back here.... read more

Our group had a split reaction with as many likes and dislikes, so it's a shame, but we're not going back. We tried it a few years ago with better results. I was among the likes. They started us off with free small bowls of cold homemade babaganoush, cole slaw, corn, cabbage, beets and chick peas. Plus there was a plate of puffy pita bread. The entrees came with a choice of French fries, sweet potato or rice and beans, but a few of the wives successfully substituted Israeli salad. My entree was the Jerusalem mix, which was a mixture of small pieces of chicken, beef and lamb sautéed a jus with onions cooked medium well. I enjoyed it, even wiping the tasty sauce off my plate with pita. The sweet potato side wasn't a whole, but only a thick slice. We didn't order appetizers, desserts or drinks, except water and a sole grapefruit juice, and the total came out to $82 per couple, which included an 18% tip. The service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. It's kosher and they spoke both Hebrew and English. Most dishes were Israeli or Moroccan. The background music was Middle Eastern. It'll located in a strip mall and has several outdoor tables, but it was about 90 degrees, so we were happy at our large round air conditioned table inside. read more

This was an unexpected stop on the way north. After leaving laurenzos we were heading up Dixie and looking for a late lunch or snack having only shared a hot dog at Sams club. This was the first place open with parking. Prices for main meals are pretty pricey -- it's only their dinner menu. But it is a kosher restaurant which is usually costlier. And an 18% tip is added to all checks. We considered leaving, but our iced teas were already on the table. Instead we ordered a combo salad and a grape leaves appetizer to share. First we were given a bowl of pickled cabbage and carrots for the table. Then came 2 pieces of pillowy hot pita bread. Then the combo plate with two different eggplant -- one a chopped eggplant salad and the other babbaghanoush; plus tehina (sesame seed paste -- like nut butter) and hummus (from chick peas) and some red roasted peppers. My favorite was the hummus. Our order of grape leaves came next -- served hot;they were stuffed with rice and herbs; although we'd been told they had beef in them, there was no meat. A plate with four fried felafel balls came next -- which we weren't expecting but we were told that came with the combo. We added salt to everything and mixed and matched bits of the pickled cabbage and peppers to torn off corners of pita to make different combo mini sandwiches. We were stuffed. The dips could have used a bit more pizzazz but were still ok. And it would have been nice to get a refill on our iced tea... service was pleasant. It was not very busy. read more

Authentic Israeli food, including excellent Ashkenazi and Sephardic choices. The Goulash was amazing! We've been there several times, and all the choices have been great. The service is attentive and friendly, and they have an assortment of mini salads they provide for all diners. We will be back! read more

Just finished dinner here and our family loved it! The service was so kind and super attentive, the space wasn't too crowded but lively, and the food was spot on. It's not too fancy or complicated but delicious. Just what we wanted. Though we don't live in Florida, I know we would most definitely come back often if we did. Two thumbs up! read more

We had an outstanding meal tonight at this restaurant. We were truly blown away by the tastiness of the food we had, the excellent service, and the hospitality of the owner Boaz and his staff. The portions are huge and extremely generous and food - so fresh! The menu is also extensive, and what we had was truly delicious. We highly recommend this place, and will definitely be back. We have been to many kosher restaurants but this one is one of the best. Try it- you'll be so happy you did!!! read more

My favorite to go spot. I eat there at least 2 a week when I'm in town. Food always delicious and amazing friendly service. My favorite are the skewers all of them Lolll. The hummus always fresh and pita warm from oven. The lemonana is a must specially when it's super hot outside. Don't hesitate to come in and try their lunch specials. I know some of you will be hesitant to go in just because it's a kosher restaurant but please do yourself a favor just go in and see how friendly they are. read more

I tried this place for the first time ever tonight and was really impressed with the food. I did not get a chance to make it that way as I was right in the middle of a project so I ordered delivery instead but everything I ordered was still warm and tasted well. I highly recommend the chicken schnitzel pita sandwich and the chicken schnitzel with rice and beans. This place is kosher and Israeli and I must tip my hat because the rice and beans were extraordinarily good. I would totally order only rice and beans from this place and fee like I got a worthwhile meal. There are also other choices on the menu that looked very appealing. I like that most meals come with the Israeli salad and pita bread. I am looking forward to actually visiting the restaurant in the near future and sit down for dinner. Stay tuned until then! read more

Shalom-Haifa Restaurant - Kosher Near Me - Miami, Florida

Everything in this restaurant tastes good and is fresh. If you're a fan of israeli cousine look no more, the menu is quite extensive but do not miss any of the meat dishes, roumanian sausages or the "Jerusalem mix". The fact that is Kosher makes it an optimum place to take Kosher out-of-towners. Don't miss out on the amazing little plates of salads they give you ahead of your meal, they help you open your appetite and put a smile in your face. Their take out / catering is amazing and I highly recommend it as well. I didn't give 5 stars because the actual place needs a little bit of TLC, but food is great. Just go and eat! read more

So many hidden restaurants in Miami!!! Last week I get a lunch invite from a lovely lady who I've worked with through the company I work for - "let's get together for a holiday lunch!! " There were three of us and my lunchtime partner in crime Betty was one of the invitees. We threw around ideas of where to eat and Betty came up with Shalom-Haifa. A small nondescript restaurant tucked away in the corner of a strip mall which has been in Aventura forever, Shalom-Haifa has been on my "TO DO" list since it opened. We arrived during a quiet lunchtime and were immediately seated in one of the booths. Our waiter came over with a bowl of pickled cabbage, carrot and celery and a small dish of some really nice homemade hot sauce/relish. OMG...it was Delicious!!! I ordered the falafel sandwich and while we were waiting the waiter brought out 5 little dishes consisting of. Chick Peas Corn Red Cabbage Beets Carrots of some sort It was nom nom nom all round. We commented that "give us an order of pita and this was lunch on its own". I absolutely do these little dishes no justice in my blow over of their description but they were absolutely fabulous!!!! The sandwiches came and mine was a very generous serving of nicely herbed falafel tucked inside a very fluffy pita pocket, liberally stuffed with a very fresh and crisp serving of tomato and cucumber. Tahini on the side. Its definitely a place I need to get back to explore more. Its a family run, kosher restaurant, serving Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. Everything is home made on site. Its under a Rabbi's supervision and definitely worth a visit. SHALOM!!!! http://www.greatrestaurantsmag.com/KOSHER/restaurant_view/100/ read more

Food was good, especially the Turkish coffee but service definitely sucked. A gracious 18% tip is added to your bill (on a 2 person table) as "service," which of course means there's no point in improving it because they get their money either way. read more

The food was ok, just a little bit expensive. The food was tasty and generous portions.

Absolutely delicious food! A hidden gem with delightful owners that set the tone for a friendly, kosher restaurant. Food is cooked by family with their amazing Moroccan recipes. Decor is old school, but clean and servers are warm and friendly and eager to please. The chicken soup is the beyond.....best ever! Humus served with many sides to dip & very fresh yummy pita. Lamb kabob is exceptional, sweet potato on side delish. Tea is served with fresh mint, and don't leave without trying the unbelievable sweet eggplant desert!!! Sooo good! read more

I have a cleaning lady who shared with me that she used to work in Shalom Haifa. She told me some of the most terrible things that went on while working there. Apparently not all the food was kosher and they would even take food from the garbage and serve it to people I called the restaurant today to find out who the owners were and NO ONE would tell me who they were. I thought it was a bit strange, but i spoke with the mashgiach, shared with him what I heard) and hung up. A few mins later I receive a call back from the restaurant. It was a man who starting cursing at me! Telling me that he is dangerous, he has my address, and that I should watch out! I couldn't believe my ears! IT sound like the people who are working their are being very mistreated and I hope the Kosher issue has been resolved. NOT RECOMMENDED read more

Always great food and service at this delicious kosher restaurant. The staff always make you feel like your at home, they always make sure your satisfied and enjoy the meal and experience.

Shalom-Haifa Restaurant - Kosher Near Me - Miami, Florida

Had dinner here the other night. Never have I been to a restaurant where The wait staff was so concerned and attentive to meeting the customer needs. Loved the huge selection of meat and salad dishes. Loved the steak. Chicken dish was terrific. Little salad tastings when we first sat down. It has kosher certification, but will appeal to all. We loved our experience at this neighborhood restaurant. If you keep kosher, shame on you if you do not go there. Place was full on a weekday evening and I know why. We have driven by this restaurant without stopping for the last year, but will be back there next week. Entire family works there and you will feel the family Appeal also. read more

After becoming absolutely addicted to Shawarmas, I decided to try something else, while in the area I read Ginas review of this place and decided to give a try. While on my To-try list for almost a year, last Sunday I finally made it. The place is Israeli no Mediterranean no nothing..it is from Israel. The complete staff seems to be from here and I was apparently the only customer at the time not knowing a Hebrew word, but even though I had a great time here. The waitress was super helpful, we had hummus, beef kebab and falafel, they brought us some other appetizers like beets, chickpeas, pita bread, Israeli salad, etc. Ok I must admit I had what I knew, but next time I will try something else, for dessert we had an amazing date cookie. read more

Great service and food. Worth the wait! I had a bowl of chicken soup, which tasted homemade. Split hummus,salads and a chicken platter with a friend. read more

The food is outstanding. We have gone there for the last five years and always end up happy. Try the hummus, grape leaves, and lamb shishlik, that Comes with multiple side dishes. Service is friendly, though it may be slow sometimes, depending who serves you (the young owner is an ace, the older lady server may take a bit). I only wish they were open every day. This is the best Israeli food I've had in Miami. read more

Tried to go for lunch. The man at the door stared at me strangely when I walked in. I wasn't sure what to do after not being greeted so I asked if I should seat myself. He barked "how many?!" Then he pointed to where I should sit. I waited for 5-10 minutes before I was brought a menu by a friendly woman. The lunch prices were "35-$40 for "the holiday." I excused myself and left. read more

We had a variety of entrees. Every dish missed. Literally, could not finish anything we ordered.The Hummus that others so like is terrible.

Had this at a catered event. glad I decided to go check them out. Almost had a bad experience our waitress didn't really want to spend the time helping the clueless americans. One of the other staff members stepped in and made it great. She got us the hot sauce and a great desert. read more
