We ordered the falafel plate to share and it was plenty. There's rice was absolutely delicious and the falafel were made on the spot served perfectly warm and crispy. Pro tip: ask for their house made hot sauce, it will rewire your brain. That was the perfect touch to our platter. Next time would LOVE to order the falafel wrap which comes with fries.

We came on a Sunday evening, and surprisingly, the place was completely empty--not a single customer inside. Honestly, I would have left, but my husband was too hungry. We both ordered the "Delight Mix," which is supposed to be a variety of meats. Unfortunately, the meat didn't even taste like meat, and everything was covered in what seemed like barbecue sauce. That was especially disappointing because when you think of Middle Eastern cuisine, those kinds of sauces just aren't typical or authentic. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience.

I am a big fan of Doner Kebab and I've traveled to Germany and Turkey seeking the perfect platter. I can tell you without hesitation that what Mr. Armando has created and built if some of the best Doner kebab I've eaten --definitely the best in Miami and probably the US! What stood out is the simplicity of the menu, the quality ingredients and the perfected seasoning of the meats, rice, vegetables and dessert. My beef/lamb wrap was light, crunchy and full of flavor. I enjoyed the white sauce and the spicy sauce the most! The surprise delights came as appetizers and dessert. They have an ale Cigale Barack -a crunchy and toasted tequeno like cheese goodness that combines four different cheeses to make it sweet and creamy, salty and sour. Because I had already walked 12534 steps I treated myself to dessert. Usually I'm a purist when it comes to baklava, but I was convinced to try the chocolate baklava. And boy was it absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Light, delicately balanced semisweet on the chocolate and beautifully balanced with honey and pistachios. I am so glad I accidentally found this place. Casual, clean, affordable, with friendly and attentive service in English, Spanish or Turkish. I will definitely be back and tell others! Open every day from 12 noon to 12 midnight. I know where I'll be getting my Scooby snacks next time I come to the beach. Provecho!

However, there's a pretty big menu to explore. Kibbeh: Ordered one of these to try it. Apparently it's what made my order take awhile, since it's deep fried fresh to order. It was tasty with the crispy falafel-like shell and tons of seasoned ground meat inside. Döner Kebab (Beef): The real draw here, meat from from a spit, the namesake. It's shaved thin and crispy. Lots of fresh veggies, like more than I recall from the döner in Berlin. And the bread seems quite fresh. A high quality lunch! Fries: Crispy and plentiful. Home Ayran: Kinda like a plain yogurt salty lassi. Not a huge fan, personally. I could see how this might make a good sauce.

Its location makes it ideal for a relaxed dinner after a sunset walk, and the ambiance leans into that cozy, family-style hospitality the region is known for. We kicked things off with a generous mezze spread, a highlight here and consistently praised in reviews. It included creamy hummus, eggplant-based dips like baba ghanoush, beetroot, yogurt spreads, and a pepper-eggplant mix, all paired with warm, fresh pita that kept coming out just right. Sipping Turkish tea in the Miami heat somehow worked perfectly, it was refreshing in its own way. For the main, I ordered the Iskender kebab, a comforting, flavorful dish of gyro-style meat over pita, finished with a light tomato sauce. We also tried Efes beer, a crisp Turkish pilsner that balanced the meal nicely. Despite us being a group of 10, Barış, our waiter, handled everything with impressive attention to detail, something many diners mention about the service here: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. To top it off, dessert was on the house--a creamy almond and pistachio pudding that paired beautifully with a strong Turkish coffee. A thoughtful gesture that really sealed the experience. Between the vibrant flavors, the inviting atmosphere, and the consistently praised service, Kalamata delivers a family-friendly, authentic Mediterranean night out that feels both elevated and relaxed. Definitely a place worth returning to. Afiyet olsun, bir daha görüşmek üzere!
