This restaurant is beyond 5 stars! My new favorite place to dine. The ambience is energetic, and the decor is beautiful. Everything we ate the first time we went was delicious so we had to come back the next weekend and try some of the other things we couldn’t try on our first visit. Flavors are authentic and fresh. I can probably recommend some items but I think you can’t go wrong here. Make sure you read the descriptions as they help you know what’s in each dish or cocktail. I can’t forget to mention the service which was friendly, and on point! We didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back.

Great dining experience. We sat in the Tel Aviv Room which was perfect because we were with elderly relatives who preferred less noise. Great service! Enjoyed sharing several dishes but the faves were the crispy cauliflower, the pita and tzatziki, and the crispy chicken platter (great hummus on that platter).

First time visitor, and I'II be back. I love to cook so I usually despise restaurants because most of them suck in Miami, Motek was outstanding. Admittedly we were dressed like bums for dinner after a yoga class but we're still treated wonderfully. You walk in and the aroma is delicious. The service from our waitress and the support staff was outstanding. Appetizer then entrées arrived promptly and were a joy to eat. I am not a dessert person but the HALVA SILAN ICE CREAM delivered on so many levels. Don't rob yourself of experiencing that deliciousness.

The food was great as always but the service was pretty poor since the begging: wrong table, many servers didn’t speak english, the branzino presentation was as a whole fish with bones instead of clean and ready to serve and we asked For check in private to paid it and they brought it to the table… was a shame !

An observation that can easily be corrected with better audio equipment. The walkie - talkies are too loud when communicating between the hostess and the front girls. At other times, it echoes from the back all the way to the entrance.

The place os so beautiful so nice for a brunch!!! Service was great, everyone was really nice and food is amazing!!!! We tried a lot of things since we were a table of 5 and we really enjoyed The only thing that bothered us was the dog that wouldn’t stop barking….don’t get me wrong I love dogs, but leave them at home where they will feel more secure and comfortable

One dish arrived when the rest of us had finished. They gave us a free desert which seamed rather insignificant considering the delay.

My husband and I took our elderly parent and aunt/uncle to dinner at Motek. We enjoyed the food. However, our server was very annoying and beyond pushy about us ordering wine. The elderly people at our table can’t drink and drive and the server just wasn’t taking no for an answer. I almost wanted to ask the manager to change our server.

Gret away to spend an afternoon with a friend we had not seen in a while. For starters we had The Mushroom Hummus and the Falafel. Both excellent, note the hummus had a slight spiciness to it, but it enhanced the flavor nicely. Entrees we the Crispy Chicken Schnitzel (our guest loved it, "the best I have had since being in Germany". I had the Arayes Burger (their specialty that won an award) with fires. I can see why they won, very unusual burger; basically; ground beef patty wrapped in the bread/crust. The fries were nice and crispy. My other 1/2 had the Harissa Honey Salmon, which was delicious, he accompanied it with Majadra Rice with Lentil, perfect combination. The portions are big, so for dessert opted for the Baklava, which were bite size. The wines are on the high side, we had a nice Merlot/Cab blend it was $62.00. The bar area is very nice, we had drinks before dinner.

Great meal and attentive, friendly service. Bit too loud as our table was right next to the bar so next time we’re going to ask for seating away from the bar. Meals were excellent and save room for the bread pudding!

The food was very good and the service was prompt. Their hummus and bread is amazing. They definitely have staffed properly and service was excellent. The restaurant itself is very loud inside, and it was a very busy night. The one big complaint (and this also happened last time we ate dinner here) was that at around 9:30 (we were seated at 8:00) they start saying last call on kitchen and drinks, then at 10:00 they turn up the lights in order to get you to leave. And if you don't, 15 minutes later, they turn the lights even BRIGHTER! For a Miami restaurant, this is not acceptable. Especially given the menu pricing - let us enjoy our evening! As I mentioned, this happened to me BOTH times we dined here.

Very good food wit an Israeli twist, food prices were average but drinks were a little expensive. Desserts to die for. A little noisy with music a tad to high for lunch. Ambiance and service were very good

Amazing food and ambience. Great bar. Beautiful decor. Nice drinks. Loved the crunchy Eggplant, the mushroom hummus, roasted cauliflower with a delicious drizzle. Noise level could be softened a little but overall a GREAT addition to the Mile🤗🤗🤗
