   Had to return to this delightful restaurant with abundant purple flowers and authentic tastes from Israel. All the details are lovingly tended to from the zatar chips to the pomegranate short rib that is unforgettable. Service is excellent, warm and knowledgeable. End with the tahini soft serve for a perfect night.

   JJ provided excellent service and suggestions. The hummus is world class, comparable to Zahav in Philly. The lamp shashlak & lamb chops are excellent. Great food, service & ambiance. Make a reservation-seating is mostly outdoors.

   What can I say about one of the most stellar, enjoyable meals we have ever eaten. We are both from the midwest, have never been to Israel. but booked a table to experience Israeli food for the first time. In my naivete, I thought it was going to be Mediterranean food,mostly- but I was hoping to be surprised, and we were! Every dish we ordered was fantastic, especially the eggplant dish, salatrim trio, tomato and hearts of palm salad, and spicy sauce For dessert, we had the tahini ice cream, which was heavenly. I asked our fantastic server, Mijeiry, if the chef had published a cookbook- I would have bought it on the spot. Although he has not, everyone should experience Samuel Gorenstein's culinary delights. I hope that we will be back in Miami someday, and this will be the first reservation I make- maybe twice. Thank you for blowing my mind, and inspiring me to seek out more israeli dishes and food. I would love to get a cookbook, if you ever publish one, and open some more restaurants!!!!!!!!

   Oh my. I've been meaning to get down here for years, but only just now made it. And I want to go back right away. FANTASTIC food (perfect veggies! perfect sauces! perfect breads - light as air!) and WONDERFUL service at prices that are, frankly, low for the area. Beautiful places to sit. Ah, Abbalé - I felt like I was returning home. We can't wait to visit again.

   Extraordinary food. Every dish was both tasty and visually appealing. Quieter location but very close to the core of South Beach.
