Time Machine has been such a great find! It was our first time ever trying Lebanese food, and we were honestly blown away. Everything was so flavorful, fresh, and it also felt very wholesome and healthy. We've already been back twice, and each time we tried different dishes and our favorite one is the Za'atar-Cheese. Saida was absolutely wonderful. So kind, attentive, and welcoming. She made our experience even better and you can tell she genuinely cares about the customers. The environment is really nice too. It's located in a small park where you can even take your kids to run around, which makes it perfect for a relaxed meal. It's not easy to find a place that's this consistent with both amazing food and great service. We'll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend if you want to try something delicious and different! read more

I used to live on the corner of 19th road so this used to be my neighborhood and I come back sometimes as I miss it, and I found on too good to go a new food truck. However walking back and forth around the Novotel for the life of me I could not find them. I thought they just weren't there. Well they are hidden in the farthest end of the park across the Novotel and on a hot busy packed park day you might not see it either so this is your guide! I was saddened but luckily I got to go back later at night and found not only the very cute food truck but also the super friendly staff in it. I didn't ask a specific order but they made me something of their choice: I got a delicious long wrap with a mix of herbs, yoghurt and vegetable and honestly I don't know what else it there, with a rose water. It taste healthy and super fresh. Thank you for this delicious Lebanese food! read more

I love manakeesh. In fact I had heard of the Thyme Machine from a social media too. So when my aunt suggested this after my family went out for dinner, we thought all why not? You know how when you take someone to a restaurant that specializes in food from that person's culture and they usually aren't a big fan of it? Well, that's not usually the case for me. I recognize a lot of time the food is not gonna taste as good as if it were homemade. Also people are free to be creative and make it non traditional...as long as it's good. Thyme Machine is a food truck with a story and the effort to honor memories. The food truck is started by a medical doctor who started the truck to honor his grandmother. Sadly, as sentimental and sweet the story is, Thyme Machine can't hide behind its story for its less than praiseworthy food. Remember, I have no issue with it not being traditional. I love shawarma especially a good chicken one with the garlic sauce. What I don't love is, eating a small tortilla with probably 3 pieces of chicken and so smothered in garlic sauce...I'm not sure if they meant to call it a garlic yogurt shawarma instead of chicken. For context, I got the chicken shawarma tacos (which the picture advertised as three tacos...I got a single, not even warmed, small tortilla. My aunt who got the large shawarma, had real shawarma bread but sadly the garlic sauce which really tasted like garlic with plain yogurt was also too much. Now this isn't a case of "oh I'm not really a fan of garlic sauce or I only like like a little bit". No I LOVE garlic sauce in my shawarma but when there is more garlic sauce than chicken and to the point where I am not sure I am eating chicken...that's when I think it might be too much. Next the manakeesh, my parents kept it simple with a cheese one but...this was rolled up like a fruit roll-up and just fell flat. The lack of flavors also was weird. It's like ordering chicken and they give you a boiled chicken with no salt or pepper and tell you...well you ordered chicken not seasoning. Which is not the case here, the workers were not rude at all. We didn't complain to the workers, we just took our losses and left. In all honesty, the workers were nice but I could tell a bit stressed. There was someone who was new and learning and it's late at night. The seating area they have is beautiful and definitely a great late night spot to hang out. Just sadly, the food fell flat. read more

Thyme machine is a perma-parked food truck serving up authentic and savory Lebanese fare in Brickell. There's outside seating at picnic tables. I tried a man'ouche with zatar and labneh and it was an amazing blend of warm goat cheese, veggies, and spices. For a spot of sweet the honeyed baklava was a perfect ending. read more

I discovered Thyme Machine at the Smorgaburg in Wynwood. We were walking around looking for something vegetarian, and heard some drumming. I thought it was some Lunar new year celebration thing, walked closer but didn't see any dancing lion or dragon. Instead, there was what looks like some flatbread grilling on top of an upside down wok. Curious, I chat with the guy there, who was the drummer. He nicely went into detail about what man'ouche is, and the friendly girl behind the counter offered a sample. I ordered one, and loved every bite of it. There is a generous layer of za'atar sauce, the labneh cheese is mild but flavorful and the mint adds some refreshing flavor. It's my first time trying this, so I have little reference or comparison, but it's something I'd love to eat again and again. Hopefully it won't be too long before I get to taste their delicious man'ouche again, and maybe with some Arabic coffee too! read more

Visiting from San Diego, as I was looking for something to eat, I passed by Thyme. The flag of Lebanon drew my attention. I've been to Lebanon many times and cook Lebanese dishes so I wasn't sure at first, if I'd like it or not. I ordered the labneh wrap with all the included ingredients. With the first bite I got tears to my eyes. It was as if I got teleported to Lebanon. Incredible flavor, texture, aftertaste! Fresh and healthy!!! 10 out of 5 stars. It was a trigger to all the beautiful memories of Lebanon. Thank you Thyme! Even if you're not that hungry just try their food! Kteeer taib!!! read more

Was really excited to try this spot, I love chicken shawarmas and eat Mediterranean food very often, but this place is a big thumbs down! It took around 20-25 minutes to get the food - for context, the entire order was two chicken shawarmas and we were the only customers there the entire time! Couldn't imagine how long it would've taken if there was just one additional order there..I'd probably still be waiting there right now (days later)..it's a food truck, it's suppose to be somewhat quick food. Also, these chicken shawarmas had some type of white sauce on it (not tahini)..I believe it was a lemon garlic sauce. I'll just cut to it: gross. Texture was like rancid milk and tasted beyond acidic. Just do yourself a favor - avoid this spot. read more

We came here on a whim since it was one of the few food spots (aside from clubs) that were open late at night. It's directly in front of a parking garage, so you can either find street parking or just park in the garage itself. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. He explained the menu to us as well as the ingredients used. Upon ordering, there was a seating area to the side of the truck that we waited at while he quickly made our order. The food itself was delicious and filling, you can easily split one with someone else to share. Ingredients were simple but carried lots of flavor. Great place for quick lebanese food! read more

Thyme Machine - chicken - A folded flatbread with visible fillings of vegetables, meat, and pickles, served on parchment paper. - Lebanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

Food ehh service takes far too long for quality. Same problem the two times I had it. 2.5

This food truck takes me back to my Lebanese roots and days where I lived in the Middle East. From the arabic artist Fairuz playing in the background to the arabic flatbreads with zaatar on top called manaeesh, it's no wonder why my eyes lit up when I first passed by Thyme Machine food truck. I first check this spot out a few weeks ago during my morning walks and was so happy to see authentic manaeesh being served with arabic coffee on the side and other arabic bites. I instantly ordered the zataar manoosheh with everything in it (cheese, tomato, mint etc) and have been thinking about it ever since. The freshly made bread topped with thyme, olive oil, labneh and veggies serves as the perfect breakfast bite and reminds me of home. Don't miss out one their rose water and arabic style coffee with a side of the baklava... SO good. read more

The chicken shawarma wraps were delicious! We flew into Miami and arrived at our hotel just before midnight. We were hungry and this food truck was right across from our hotel...convenient and so good! The operator was patient with us as we read over the menu and very kind. It is right along the bike path (well-lit at night, too) and there is a cute playground/park adjacent. Might have to return for coffee in the morning! read more

Menu the food truck is in a fab setting / park like underline across from novatel! Food is hot delicious and reasonably priced!!

Noticed this food truck on a Brickell walk - the owner was super friendly sharing their story as we stopped by to check out what Thyme Machine had to offer. We tried the Labneh Za'atar and the Cheese Za'atar. Our favorite was the Cheese Za'atar because of the toasted bread and melted cheese. Great flavors and tasty fresh ingredients (can add mint, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives) - a very unique treat to eat and I look forward to trying out more things on the menu! I want to stop by during the day to try the Arabic coffee. read more

Food was amazing and the employees were very kind. He gave us free Turkish coffee! Will definitely come back.

My 1st time trying an Arabic coffee and overall it wasn't really my cup of tea (or coffee). It was a small espresso shot type beverage but not all that strong in strength and a little grainy. Service was attentive and friendly. This might be a better place for food. read more

Thyme Machine - Arabic Coffee - Lebanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

Went in with high expectations given what I read about the concept and the menu. Plus a dose of nostalgia from my end did not hurt. When I walked up to the site, I was taken aback as the truck did not look well kept and neither did the site it was parked on. None of the tables were set up. A dirty service cart was haphazardly parked outside the truck door. I ordered a plain manouche and a chicken shawarma to go. Service was friendly. At first bite, the flavor of the chicken shawarma was fabulous but I was immediately surprised by a mouthful of sand. The lettuce was evidently not washed. I did try a second bite, same result, so I had to discard the rest of the sandwich. Moved on to the manouche. The zaatar used was very good and I loved the fact that plenty of it was spread on the dough, but the bread was like cardboard. As if it were cooked ahead of time and reheated in the microwave then put thru a panini press after rolling. In conclusion, the elements for a lovely product are there, but shortcuts and poor execution have spoiled the end result. read more

I was really excited to see this little cute truck on my way home but I was disappointed. The 1st day I tried it, there was a nice attendant who prepared my order, however, the taste was simply not good. Something wasn't right with the food, not sure if it was the chicken or the vegetables in the shawarma but it was just rancid & bad. The only thing that made the experience better was the service bc the guy was nice so I didn't complain. I decided to go back the next day bc I was thirsty so I ordered the overpriced can of Pepsi & a nameless bottle of water, both came out to almost $8.00, ridiculous! What made it worse was the service I received from the people working there that day... they were two employees sitting outside looking miserable & when they saw me walk up to the truck they seemed even more miserable that I was there bothering them... I was never greeted & the girl had this pissed off look on her face which is what made me write this review. I was still polite & said thank you after I paid bc I was raised the right way. --- The employees there have got some major improvement to do. You do not treat people that way, much less your customers which is why you're there in the first place. Bad overpriced food & bad service on top of that. Simply unacceptable! Needless to say, I will not be back & do not recommend. read more

Owner of the thyme machine is very promiscuous with all the women that approach the food truck. Do not bring your female partner to the food truck as they will be hit on 100% of the time by the cashier/owner. There is also a 20% mandatory tip added on top of your meal (you never get warned at the beginning). So you are being stolen from and at the same time you will be sexually harassed. Big pass. read more

The food was okay, definitely not good sauce it was really sour. Cute location and nice service.

Tried the Arabic coffee. Strong and delicious. Super friendly staff. Will go back for some of their Lebanese food items. No cash.

Delicious, stopped on a whim and it was the perfect fresh, light breakfast after a long walk. Shared a ma'noush.

The food and service were horrible. The Spanish lady in the truck was the only person filling a bunch of orders. I asked multiple time in Spanish if the Shwarma was chicken breast (pechuga). She confirmed. But it was a bunch of dark meat connected by tendons. It was inedible and discarded. The hummus dip didn't come with pita as pictured, so I had to ask for it. Complete waste of money, and I'm left hungry and pissed. Avoid this place. read more
