This was one of the best surprises we had in our weekend trip to Miami. Service, food and ambiance were outstanding. It’s a relaxing atmosphere at the “backyard”, casual and cool. The food is surprisingly delicious. I do recommend Doce.

Doya is hands down one of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve been to. The moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and stylish Mediterranean vibes make you feel right at home. The food? Absolutely next level. The lamb kebabs are perfectly seasoned and melt in your mouth, while the grilled octopus has the perfect balance of smoky and tender. Every dish is packed with authentic flavors, making it an ideal spot for sharing and savoring. If you’re craving fresh, high-quality Turkish food in a lively setting, Doya is a must-try.

Good vibes, good food, good people—what more can you ask for? El Turco is a hidden gem in Miami, offering authentic Turkish flavors in a warm and inviting setting. The outdoor ambiance under the beautiful tree adds to the relaxing atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. From the freshly baked locksmith sandwich to the creamy hummus and perfectly cooked meatball dishes, every bite was flavorful and satisfying. The künefe with ice cream was the perfect way to end the meal—crispy, sweet, and indulgent. Pairing it with traditional Turkish tea made the experience even more authentic. On top of that, the staff Mya was welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether you’re a fan of Turkish cuisine or just looking for a great dining experience in Miami, El Turco is a must-visit!

A pursuit for knowledge was the stimulus and continues to be the driving force behind Chef Niven’s career. Ghee means PURE and has a symbolic meaning both spiritually and in the kitchen of an Indian home. The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

Chinois haute cuisine is meant to be enjoyed and experienced in the proper fashion. Let the 4-floor rooftop enclave of rich textures and hues mesmerize you with waves of exotic dishes. The name "Hakkasan" pays homage to the ‘Hakka’ people from the New Territories of Hong Kong while ‘san’ is the respectful Japanese form of address. This same tradition and respect goes into every menu item and how they are each prepared and presented.

We had a really nice meal. The staff were very helpful. The music was loud and as a result the guest had to speak a little louder, therefore causing us to not hear us or the waitress at time.

We loved Red Rooster. First, several members of our party were obnoxiously late. The staff kind and flexible and seated us anyway. Our server Carlos was friendly and knowledgeable. All of the food we ordered was excellent. We had several starters and all entrees were large enough to be shared. Highlights were the deviled eggs, ceviche, oxtail, salmon and fried chicken. The lamb belly was different but delectably spicy. We would go back. Very affordable at about $60pp including gratuity.
