In a relaxed atmosphere, we dined outside among the bougainvillea. Kfir, our server, helped us choose the most delicious food. We especially loved the Moroccan cigars, crispy cauliflower, the carrot side dish, and the hummus and salatim. The pita comes out warm and amazing. We go to Abbalé each time we visit Miami Beach, and it does not disappoint!

Very nice food, the hummus with the steak was amazing. The restaurant is located in a really nice area too. We also ordered the lamb kebab and it was good but it needs to have an extra side dish on the side because 36$ is expensive for one little piece of ground meat. But other than that everything was great

I absolutely love Abbale South Beach. The food is fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor with every dish showing true care and love. From the beautifully balanced mezze to the perfectly grilled proteins, everything tastes as good as it looks. The cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a relaxed yet special meal. A true gem for anyone who appreciates quality Mediterranean cuisine.

Fantastic experience all around. Whoever sources the produce does a great job, because where do you get a watermelon (watermelon and feta salad) that delicious in November?! Lamb chops were out of this world, same with the grilled yellow tail. Don’t leave without getting the tahini soft serve for dessert!

Impeccable service and incredibly fresh food! I’ve been coming here for a while and have never been disappointed. The Miami Spice menu is such a great deal and absolutely delicious. The watermelon ceviche is the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and sour. The muhammara dip with the puffy pita bread is a must, and my favorite shashuka is full of flavor. All of the staff here are wonderful, and a special shoutout to Martin and Nicole for taking such great care of us. Truly love this place!

The most delicious lunch we have had ever. Hummus is a must,crispy cauliflower was delicious, falafel was fluffy, schnitzel was super crispy and still super moist. Burgers and Arayas were generously meaty, seasoned well and super juicy. But the topping on the cake was the tahini ice cream. Impecable service, Martin was especially nice, kind, helpful and had the best recommendations. Definitely going to be coming back!!

We came for dinner and we had the most amazing experience. First, Martin was our server. He was very attentive and helped us in explaining and detailing the dishes for us.. He was so funny and charismatic he made the experience that much better. The restaurant beautiful and cozy. The food was tasty and different. So many choices. Definitely coming back.

This was a fantastic find: Great food—fresh, delicious, innovative; impeccable service (Luciano was very attentive and friendly/helpful); nice interior. Great and relaxed vibe and nice staff. The Mediterranean brunch was wonderful; had the last bites later for a healthful lunch!

It's always a real pleasure to come home, that's how Abbalé makes me feel. Always a nice experience and something delicious to discover. Thanks to Daniela for being so sweet and warm, likewise to Chris, thanks for being cool and for noticing every detail thank you to Carlos for his kindness. In general everyone makes an excellent team. I enjoy every time I go and I recommend it to everyone, besides it is not only the team, the place is a dream.

I’m so happy we decided to come back! I was first introduced to Abbale by a friend during a brunch visit, and it was so impressive that I knew I had to return with my entire family for the holidays. Every dish we tried was excellent. The shakshuka and tuna tartare really stood out as favorites, though the chicken and burgers were just as tasty. We sat outdoors, and the atmosphere was ideal—surrounded by greenery, it felt relaxed, cozy, and pleasantly private. What truly elevated our visit was our server, Martinica. She was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her service made us feel well cared for from start to finish. It’s not often you find a place in South Beach that delivers such high quality while still feeling so inviting. We’ll absolutely be returning!

John Mesa, MD

I’m so glad I came back here! A friend brought me to Abbale for brunch a while ago and it was so good I had to bring my whole family back for the holidays. Everything we ordered was delicious. The shakshuka and the tuna tartare were definitely the favorites, but even the chicken and the burgers were amazing. We sat outside and the vibe is just perfect since there are plants everywhere so it feels really private and chill. What really made the experience special was our server, Martinica. She was absolutely amazing and her customer service was top notch. She made us feel so welcome and took such good care of us. It’s rare to find a spot in South Beach that’s this high quality but still feels so friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Very tasty. We got the hummus, it was creamy. The shuck salad was huge. The shashlik was very smoky and juicy. Service was good and quick. The terrace seating is cute with lots of floral motifs inside and out. Highly recommend. We will def come back here again.

Daniela Achury

Amazing restaurant! Deserves 100% their high rating! One of the best hidden gems in Miami. Our waiter AJ was INCREDIBLE! Made our experience 10x better! Trust him and order the tahini soft serve!

CharlesTexian

First time blown away by a culinary experience in south beach in a while. Each dish was a masterpiece and the service was phenomenal. Our waitress made us great recommendations and treated us like family!

Soleil GPS

What a pleasant surprise! We were greeted in the friendliest manner and that was just the beginning. The whole staff was sure to speak whenever in contact. Our server was phenomenal, all of her recommendations were spot on. Not only is the food, cocktails and service a must the patio spoke for itself. Forgot to view the inside I was so taken in by the outside. We will return:)

We had a fantastic brunch experience at Abbale!

Thank you so much Lugano for making us trip in Miami wonderful!

Such a phenomenal meal! The service was top notch and we loved every dish- especially the multi dip platter. Can’t wait to come back!

We celebrated my friend's birthday at this wonderful spot, and everything exceeded expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the day. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of flavors that everyone enjoyed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. As a special surprise, we received a thoughtful gift card with a sweet personal wish, adding such a lovely touch to the occasion. To top it off, the birthday cake arrived with a candle and a round of cheerful singing, making the moment feel extra special. We had an unforgettable time and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place for any celebration!

Alina Shestiaeva

Such an amazing and healthy place! Our service was Kfir and he was so knowledgeable and welcoming. I particularly like cauliflower and hummus tahini. Don’t forget to try the tahini ice cream. A lot of vegan and gluten free options! I am from New York, but I don’t remember anything similar there. 100% and will be back!

What an absolute gem! The prix fixe menu was not only a steal-truly, but a culinary delight from start to finish. The service? Impeccable. Our server, Kfir, was gracious, attentive, and thoroughly delightful. And then—oh, what a finale! A sublime tahini soft serve, dressed to perfection, followed by a cortado so well-balanced, I’m still thinking about it. Truly, an unassuming triumph of a meal—charming, thoughtful, and utterly satisfying. Bon appétit!

One of the best quality dining experiences i’ve ever had. Unique food combos (similar to Mediterranean, but different enough) that worked fantastically, as well as great service make this an excellent dining experience. i highly recommend. Food was perfectly cooked and came out hot, and the portions were generous. Cauliflower and Falafel was the best i’ve ever had anywhere!

Stop searching and make a reservation here. Abbalé was some of the best food we had during our trip in south beach and by far and away the best service. We thoroughly enjoyed the hummus, prawn, chicken, and Wagyu steak dishes and were blown away with the flavor of the cauliflower. The kind folks over at Abbalé helped point us in the right direction with food choices and thoughtfully took care of us throughout our dinner. The time between courses was timed to perfection, and our waitress went out of her way to make sure we were happy and enjoying the meal.

Israeli Cuisine with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. Had abba’s frozen limonana and Miami Spice menu. Appetizers hummus and smashed avocado Entrees falafel pita and sumac chicken shashlik Desserts pistachio gelato with baklava crumbles and seasonal sorbet fresh berries. Everything was delicious and the best part was our waitress Nicole. She was very attentive with just the right amount of attention. Restaurant located in nice quiet area of South Beach in South if Fifth neighborhood

+2

The best brunch place in south beach. Beautiful restaurant a bit tucked away from the noisy south beach main strip, offering the perfect ambiance for delicious meal. Started with the mezze trio, the onion tahini, muhammara and the babaghanosh made the perfect start of our brunch. Comes with pita but we also ordered the sesame challah bread which was delicious. For the main course the chicken schnitzel was scrumptious. Hands down my favorite brunch spot in south beach.

Lovely dining experience, the food and service were great ❤️

Wow this was a trip to Tel Aviv! Food was excellent. Beautifully prepared, talented chefs, loved every bite. Everyone was super nice from Ach (Gucci) our server to the manager. Good conversations and excellent atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back. Brings up great memories and created new and amazing ones to have this kind of food near home.

Couldn’t stop for dinner. But had a drink. Lovely place to relax. Parking is bit tricky on weekends

Great location, great menu and our server Martinique was amazing ! The short rib was so good that I’m going to try and copycat it for my Passover Seder Will be back !!

Unbelievably and incredibly great tasting food. The Hummus, Babaganoush and other dips were next level tasty. We ordered the Aged Wagyu which came with this delicious crust on the meat. The chicken (main) was also fantastic. Great vibe both inside and outside. Staff were great, honest, and friendly. Took us by surprise and we will be dreaming of this one until we return to Miami, whenever that may be!

+1

Beautiful and tasty. From the amazing service to the nice deco and tasty food, this is a great option for dinner or brunch with very fair prices and good quality. Atmosphere: inside and outside patio covered by beautiful flowers and fans everywhere. It's definitely great seating super comfortable with great space between tables. Service: super attentive service and great recommendations. Food: the highlight! the menu is just perfect with many appetizer options or meals to share. I definitely would recommend ordering some delicious wine and trying different plates. I went with a friend, and we both shared a onion tahini dip with pita (very tasty) only be aware it comes with one small pita not enough for the dip so we had to order more. My friend ordered a salad (definitely great for sharing as the portion was big), and I ordered the branzino 🔥 I am not a fan of fish, but this one was tender and delicious 😋 it came with a small salad. Then we finished with balaclava and gelato, and it was AMAZING! They have a valet parking option, but I am not sure about the price as I was able to find parking on the street nearby but I see parking somehow hard to find so will recommend to check the valet. Overall, I am looking forward to coming back! we had a great time and the prices were very fair for the quality and quantity 👌

Our server Kfir is superb. Warm and attentive workout being overbearing.

Such a gem of a restaurant in the heart of Miami Beach!! We were stoked to be able to get a reservation as we didnt plan well ahead. We got the first seating, so an earlier than usual but we didn't mind! We totally understand why this popular eatery is so high in demand. From the food to the drink accompaniments, we were all satisfied to the max. The service was very attentive and kind from beginning to end! Looking forward to returning to try more off the menu!! 👌🏽

Absolutely amazing service! Our waiter, Kfir, was incredibly attentive and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was great, but what truly stood out was the staff. I accidentally left behind a valuable item, and thanks to the responsible owners and the kind help of Yasser, I was able to retrieve it the next day. Truly above and beyond – I’m so grateful!

Adorable little restaurant / cafe with great vibes, beautiful decor, picturesque plates, and knowledgeable, friendly staff (our server Martinique was amazing!). The prices are typical of high end, nice restaurants throughout Miami. The menu has many classic Israeli favorites like Tahini, Matbucha, Babaganoush, Laffa, and Falafel (which was so fresh). There are plenty of small dishes, perfect for family style sharing and getting a little taste of everything. I am absolutely biased on this as I adore Israeli food, and feel that this restaurant was a very necessary edition to the already versatile, South Beach culinary scene. The coffee was fantastic as well!

Absolutely the best food in Miami. We had brunch on Saturday and everything was spectacular not only the food but the service and the ambiance was perfect. For us this is the best restaurant in Miami as we have been there many time and everything is always impecable. Our favorite spot!!

+1

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. Spectacularly delicious. All the staff are more than exceptional. Knowledgeable & kind & pleasant. Had the Lamb Aryas today...stunningly delicious ✅ The soft serve tahini ice cream is better than any ice cream I have ever eaten!! 12/10. And the ice cream is less calories than traditional ice cream. Thank you Abbale❤️❤️❤️

The watermelon salad was delicious, hummus and cauliflower was delicious. But the steak pita sandwich had few negatives. The meat was cold and a bit chewy. Service was amazing and the atmosphere was great!!!

Abbale is one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve been here a number of times and it has been a 10/10 experience each time. Want to give a shout out to our waitress Mije — she is absolutely amazing!! Great service, food, coffee, and vibes.

This place has delicious food, great atmosphere, good servers. It was a bit too hot to sit outside, there’s not much room inside. It wasn’t easy to find parking on Sunday. But they have valet parking. If you like international foods this is a good place to go.

Wow, what an incredible experience! This mediterranean restaurant is a true gem. Thank you for an unforgettable night!

Our servers name was Martinque… she was amazing, she was a whole vibe 10/10. This was my first time going to a ISRAELI restaurant everything she recommended was absolutely delicious. As an appetizer, I had the crunchy honey balsamic glaze cauliflower 10/10 I had the local fish, which was the char grilled grouper 10/10 I was surprised by how much flavor this dish had For dessert I had the olive oil, lemon pound cake with strawberry and Greek yogurt. 10/10 It Reminded me a strawberry shortcake but better and we had a side of pistachio gelato so creamy so delicious.10/10

Beautiful space, excellent service, and delicious food! So glad we listened to all the reviews and tried it during our trip to Miami.

What a great restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the vibe was relaxed and comfortable. All the dishes we had were top notch. The fresh juices (carrot and orange/pomegranate ginger) were outstanding. Falafel, ceviche, onion tahini and carrots with pita to start all had excellent flavors and presentation. The black grouper main course was cooked with a crispy crust and a soft middle and the arugula and sauce complimented well. We skipped dessert but the baklava did look delish.

+1

Our dinner was excellent! Mijeiry was so kind and provided so many amazing recommendations. The lamb chops were delicious and you can’t go wrong with any of the hummus options! 10/10 meal and restaurant!

What a fantastic place♥️ we loved the food and the vibes. Service was friendly and professional.

The food at Abbalé is superb. The service is on another level. We went twice in one week whilst visiting Miami in September. The staff were particularly helpful and generous when we accidentally left our bag of leftover food behind on the first visit: the kind of attention to customer experience that you just don't forget. We went back because it seemed crazy to leave Miami without another sample of the menu. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. Great range of options too. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Dinner at Abbalé was outstanding from start to finish. Our waiter was excellent. He was warm, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Portion sizes were hearty. Had the cauliflower and hummus as an appetizer then the short rib for my main. It was perfectly cooked and literally fell off the bone. For dessert, our waiter recommend the ice cream which was the perfect finish to the meal. Beautiful atmosphere, top-tier service, and phenomenal food. Highly recommend.

We love Abbale! Went for Miami Spice and had some of the best Mediterranean food in Miami. Miami Spice menu is great and affordable. Our server was super friendly and made great recommendations. The watermelon feta salad is a must have. We’ll be back!

This is some of the best food I’ve eaten in Miami Beach! It all tastes so healthy and fresh. Service & food was 10/10. The tahini dessert was the best dessert I’ve ever eaten in my life.

What an incredible dining experience! Martin, the well-known waiter from Argentina, truly made it memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to any traveler!

Aj is the best server in the restaurant. He is nicely and very helpful. Food was delicious. We had grilled chicken and lamb kofta shaslik. Garlic bread was very delicious. Dessert are fantastic. Thank you for good service and ambience 🙏🏻

Loved everything about this restaurant. Such a seamless meal- the way it should always be dining out. We sat outside and it was the perfect vibe. The salatim dips were incredible, they each had so much flavor (but you will most definitely have to order more pita). I had the chicken shashlik and again, super flavorful. Wonderful staff- when we wanted more pita bread a server was delivering it to our table within seconds (and it was hot!). Everyone was friendly, attentive, and thorough. Cannot wait to try other dishes on the menu - will definitely be back!

Kfir is amazing!! He always remembers us and recommends the vegan options. My husband and I were in for brunch today and we loved everything!! We always order too much but it's our favorite spot lately so nothing wrong with that!!

Ive never been to Tel Aviv but dining here makes you feel like you’re in Israel. The vibe is dialed in, light, fun, beachy upscale vibes.. with a healthy touch Eating outside is definitely the move. Service is outstanding, from the moment you rock up and the host greets you, to when you request the check If you’re getting the salatims, make sure you have enough pita.. usually get two pieces with three portions of the salatim Everything feels deliciously fresh and flavorful. The lamb chops were the stand out.. incredible texture and bold flavor that was just right The halloumi grapefruit salad is on the best salads I’ve had. The dressing is PERFECT Chicken shish hits the spot. The open faced egg feta avo sandwich is great too Btw if you’re in the mood for a juice, the carrot orange lemon juice is spectacular Excited to come back.. a new favorite spot in Miami!

It is a very cute place with fresh delicious food. Humus is super fresh, always delicious. Their lamb chops are very good as well. Pretty much everything on the menu will provide a satisfying experience. Portions are generous and all dishes are full of flavor.

BEST Mediterranean restaurant in Miami! Everything my wife and I had was unbelievable good! Highly recommend the Moroccan fish and the lamb kafta, for dessert the tahini soft serve was to die for . the service was very friendly and knowledgeable 10/10 we will definitely be back

Absolutely incredible experience The food was beyond amazing ! every dish was bursting with authentic mediterranean flavors and beautifully presented. The desserts were just as impressive — rich, creative, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Our server Martinique was top-notch; everyone was so attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. You can tell they care deeply about quality and hospitality. Highly recommend this place — it’s a true gem!

I'm not sure why I thought taking my besties here for brunch to celebrate their wedding Anniversary would be a hit or miss even after reading all the positive reviews but the choice was nothing short of perfect. First of all let me give the well deserved flowers to Martinique, the absolute best server we've interacted with as of late. She was so welcoming, accommodating, helpful and went above and beyond to make this brunch date special for my friends and I. Won't get into details but after having a "not so positive" interaction with the host at the door and end up seating inside after I requested and outside table, Martinique turned the experience the other way around to a positive and memorable one, she is HER. So after getting comfortable outside, which is a gorgeous space with the right vibes and aesthetic, we started with some limonanas and stuck with those for the rest of the meal because talk about a refreshing drink that also packs a hell of a punch. Now we ordered a LOT of food so I'm not gonna break it all down but everything was phenomenal. Dishes that stood out and I recommmed are...crunchy cauliflower that would turn a carnivore like me, vegan. You couldn't tell me this was not chicken; The Shakshuka with ricotta cheese on top to die for; Steak and eggs that were some of the best I've tasted in a while; Grouper ceviche of the day was impeccable; Masabacha and those addictive Jerusalem bagels were perfect together and last, for dessert...Lemon-olive oil pistachio cake, pistachio ice cream and baklava with pistachio ice cream. We ended up taking some food home which my besties love to do so I was proud for picking a good restaurant that they enjoyed and loved as much as they did. This was from the brunch menu but there a few things to try from the lunch menu so we'd be coming back next year. Another one for the books besties, love y'all.

Incredibly delicious Israeli cuisine, and I must say that the hummus was absolutely divine - it was certainly one of my favorite dishes! The portions served were also quite decent in size, making it a perfect option for sharing with friends or family. In addition to the amazing food, I was also very happy with the range of natural, fresh-squeezed juices available. These were the perfect accompaniment to our meal, and added a refreshing touch to the experience, and last but not least, I cannot forget to mention how delicious the pita bread was! It was perfectly fluffy and soft, with just the right amount of flavor to complement the dishes we enjoyed.

I’d give this restaurant 10 stars if I could ! Every dish was incredible, atmosphere was great and the staff was the kindest and most attentive I’ve had in a long time- everyone working together to make sure our meal and experience was perfect. Shout out to our server Martinique who went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for my daughter and I. I will recommend and I will be back again! (Favorite dishes: herb salad, steak, shishlick and tahini ice cream 😋- oh, and the passion fruit margarita!)!

Abbalé is always our favorite place for Sunday brunches!! The food is always amazing and the service is truly the best. Luciano is so kind and welcoming, just like the rest of the team. Everyone makes you feel genuinely taken care of every time we come.

This is my favorite restaurant in Miami - every time I visit I head straight to Abbalé. The food is delicious, fresh, and creative. Staff are excellent - especially Mijeiry, who kindly accommodated all of our party’s many dietary restrictions while making us feel completely at home. Get the babaganoush, the hummus, and the Lamb kefta but whatever you get you can’t go wrong.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff, and mouthwatering food! Omg still thinking about the meal I got. The schnitzel was cooked to perfection, the hummus tasted like the hummus in Israel, and the meal was beautifully plated. Definitely recommend!

Martin was the absolute best server! He told us lots of fun information about the menu and had great recommendations. Would definitely come back! Especially for more Tahini soft serve!

Update: Came back a year later and this place still feels magical. The salatim are incredibly vibrant and flavorful, especially the pistachio one. The fried halloumi was crisp and golden, served over a creamy cheese sauce that added richness. The lamb chops were fatty and perfectly seared, and the crispy cauliflower balanced sweet and sour with great crunch. Even the chicken schnitzel for kids was devoured. Easily one of the most memorable meals I have had anywhere. — Wow. Simply amazing. All the dishes we had were fantastic from the crispy cauliflower to the lamb, tomatoes, aioli, and more. Got the lamb kebab and would highly recommend it.

This is a must try! Everything from the food the service and the atmosphere were phenomenal! Just WOW!!!

Abbale Tlv. Is such a gem 💎 I’m vegan and had the Falafel pita sandwich, Abbale Sprits, and the Tahini soft serve ice cream! The food was to die for! The drink was so refreshing and the ice cream was by far the most delicious item I ate on the menus.1000/10! Highly recommend. Nicki took great care of me she was attentive, friendly, professional and extremely accommodating. I do not know what I would do without her superb customer service! This is my new spot for lunch by the beach!

GREATEST HUMMUS I’ve ever had. Fluffy, flavorful and with a tiny bit of heat. Perfectly paired with a delicious Jerusalem bagel that’s both crispy and fluffy. Our server was Nicole and she provided excellent service!

My fiancée and I came here for dinner on a Monday night and couldn’t not have been more happy. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers, to the main course was fantastic! The only thing better than the food was our waitress, Mijeriry. She helped guide us through the menu and made the experience amazing. Thanks!

This place is really A-1. The food is superb, the Israeli wines, which I did not know are excellent. But the best of all is the service. Our waitress, Martinique, is the very best. We ordered Babaganoush, Smashed avocado, olives, hummus and the jewels of the crown: the lamb chops and the whole branzino. All excellent. My favorite is the lamb chop. Came back after two years. The same excellent quality in food, service and ambiance. A-1. Worth to come back.

What a fantastic restaurant, the food, the ambience and the service were all unreal. We had a minor wardrobe malfunction and one of the servers stepped up and carried out a repair there and then! Thanks again guys, we can’t wait to come back again soon next time we are in town.

We went to celebrate my friend birthday! The experience was beyond amazing! This place is spectacular. Highly recommended spot!

The best lunch with amazing server Martin! The food was delicious, limonana is a must, and dessert… do NOT skip dessert!!! The shakshuka, burger, and schnitzel were all delicious. The service was wonderful!!

The food is sooo good here. Don't think twice about booking dinner here. The ambience is great, and the service is incredible as well. Can't wait to be back!

From start to finish, this place was incredible. The food was absolutely delicious and everything we ordered was packed with flavor. Easily a 10/10 experience. Martin was an amazing server and made the entire visit feel effortless and fun. Friendly, attentive, and just great energy overall. The shakshuka is a MUST. Do not even think about skipping it. Already planning my next visit.

Super delicious. Sit outside and dive into the Israeli menu. Not a bad item in the large and exciting menu. Great service and a pretty outside dinning area. We loved the hamburger, the branzino and the sides. Ice cream made in house, soft serve was to die for. Great location south of fifth.

We were recommended this place by a local friend. Went for lunch (twice) and loved it. Portions are generous so order carefully. The chicken skewer was cooked perfectly, still moist. And the falafel was probably in my top 3 ever eaten. Waiting staff are great, allowing us to vary the choice of dips from the standard. Will be a regular haunt when we’re back in Miami.

I hosted a baby shower in July for a friend and was in touch with Nicolle from start to finish. She was a huge help, patient and available. We made special requests for multiple payments, and the menu. The service was great, and everyone went above and beyond. The decor upon arrival was super cute with a fan at every seat, and a customized menu for our party. Will absolutely come back again.

We LOVE this place. Even though it’s near a busy area, the way it is designed makes you feel like you’re nestled in a quiet street with beautiful greenery. This is one of our favorite spots for casual Israeli cuisine. We have come here with many people, and all have really enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and service!

Came for lunch with my wife for Miami Spice. Blown away with the service (Martin was our server), the quality and freshness of the food was off the charts! We will be back for sure, highly recommended!

Exceptional experience. The ceviche is superb! Warm welcoming, and special attention by MARTINIQUE made my Miami Spice dinner extra special! (from now on I’m only seating at her section) P.S. Save room for affogato!

One of the best brunch experiences I’ve had! This Mediterranean Restaurant is truly a Jewel, from the warm ambiance to the incredible flavors. Every dish was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. The hummus was creamy perfection, the shakshuka was bursting with flavor, and the fresh pita and bagel was unreal. Service was attentive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a unique and delicious brunch, this place is a must-try!

Such an amazing and healthy place! Our service was Kfir and he was so knowledgeable and welcoming. I particularly like cauliflower and hummus tahini. Don’t forget to try the tahini ice cream. A lot of vegan and gluten free options! I am from New York, but I don’t remember anything similar there. 100% and will be back!

Such a phenomenal meal! The service was top notch and we loved every dish- especially the multi dip platter. Can’t wait to come back!

As an out-of-state visitor, this restaurant met all of my criteria for a top-notch place to eat. The atmosphere was quiet and cool in the afternoon heat. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. But the best part of the experience was the interaction that I had with our delightful waiter, Martin. He was attentive without being intrusive. He was responsive to any questions I asked and a very pleasant addition to an already wonderful dining experience. I commend him highly for his service and his friendliness. Thank you Martin😊

Everything was really nice. From the food to the ambience, our waitress Martinique was the best! Excited to come back again. ✨

We had an amazing lunch at Abbale Modern Mediterranean, the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. What truly made the experience special was AJ! He welcomed us so warmly, made us feel right at home, and gave us spot-on recommendations that turned out to be our favorites. His kindness and professionalism added a personal touch that made our visit unforgettable. Highly recommend this place, we’ll definitely be back!

Delicious Israeli restaurant in Miami Beach. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for fresh dishes that are full of flavor. The salads, kebabs and dips were excellent!

Abbalé is a hidden gem in South Beach for Lebanese cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, but still elevated—ideal for an authentic lunch or dinner that isn’t overly fancy. The menu offers fresh, flavorful options, and the lunch specials on Doordash are always a hit. Favorites include the Grilled Chicken Slashlik bowl and the beetroot salad, both extremely delicious and made fresh. Only downside: Abbalé still uses seed oils. The space is small, so it’s best to reserve in advance, especially for parties larger than four. It’s also a great takeout spot—pro tip: grab your meal and enjoy it on the beach just five minutes away. Whether dining in or taking out, this is a go-to for a satisfying Lebanese meal.

This place was so so great. The food was amazing, hummus was one of the best i've ever tried and the bread was super soft (a little salty, but not too bad). Falafels were delicious, they had a sweetness to them that I loved. I ordered them with the babaganoush that was also incredible. All the plates were big, fulfilling and tasted amazing. The tahini ice cream was a great combination with the baklava. We also tried the chocolate babka and it was heaven. Service was also good. The only downside was that we had made a reservation for 6, and they sat us in the outside patio and it was pretty small for us. Didnt have enough room to put all the plates and eating was a little uncomfy. If someone wanted to get up to go to the toilet we had to move the whole table and kept bumping with the people behind us, we also were with a baby and there was no room for the baby trolley. Setting that aside, great experience, would definitely go back !

Cute place! A little over priced for portion sizes. I wish they were a little more generosity pita too. Definitely make a reservation! I recommend the baklava and sumac chicken. Fired roasted shrimp app was disappointing for price. Very friendly and welcoming staff!

First visit. Did Miami Spice dinner menu. Excellent service from our waiter AJ. Great personality, sense of humor, and checked on us regularly. Food was extremely delicious. Our favorites that we recommend are the cauliflower dish as appetizer, branzino for entree (chicken sumac was good too), and the pistachio baklava with tahini ice cream was incredible. The hummus was great as well. My only recommendation for the restaurant is that the appetizer with the hummus and babaganoush dips should come with more pita bread. It comes with one small round piece which makes it hard to share and impossible to eat all of the dips with and each small pita bread after that cost $5. They treated us to extra pita bread when we expressed our disappointment but it should be the norm to get more than one small piece with so much dip, given appetizers are usually shared. Other than that, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great.

Enjoyed a wonderful brunch here today, the ambiance was gorgeous. I would give 5 stars but I do have some things I could see improvement. Our waitress we only saw once or twice, and we wanted to order new drinks didn’t have the chance to… I also wish the bagel that came with our food was better warmed up, I would’ve loved a steaming hot bagel with a crispy outside. We ordered the following: Mesabecha - a wonderful display of hummus and the egg was perfectly jammy Holy grail - delicious flavors presented beautifully Charred baby carrots - just carrots not really charred Roasted beets - sweet and creamy, beautiful even texture Israeli crunchy kale - simple salad, I wish I carried more flavor or dressing Pickles - basic pickle with a various selection Fire baked laffa - Nice and chewy, the oil on top wasn’t the best quality so it has a bitter taste Overall the food was beautiful and I would definitely return.

Went for Mother’s Day and not worth the trip from Boca. Made the reservation for 5 plus a high chair. Table was not ready and they made us wait 20 min at the bar clearly to order drinks. When seated at a table four squeezing 5 and no high chair for a 15 month old they went looking for one only to be told there are only 2 in house and both are taken. We went to the car and got the stroller and they never came with a high chair. let’s get to the food. the bartender was so nice and a prelude to the otherwise great service we received from our waitress. the falafel was so fresh and delish. burger, schnitzel sandwich, areyas and the branzino were beautifully prepared. the cauliflower was very salty. did not photograph it all. Grateful Cafe Landwer and Motek opened in boca raton. all dishes are shareable!

I do all my reviews on a price-adjusted basis, and while Abbale’s food was good it wasn’t spectacular and it was quite pricey. Ive spent a decent amount of time in israel and know levantine cuisine well. I enjoyed my meal but I probably wouldn’t go back. Miami has plenty of israeli restaurants, and I’ve enjoyed others more.

😕 $55 for two bowls = underwhelming 🍽️. Falafel tiny 🍒, chicken meh, no pita 🫓, and small portions for the price 💸. Flavor just okay—mediocre overall 👎.

Below average Mediterranean food. Nothing special. A bit over priced for what it is.

I have been a frequent customer for a long time, but lately, the quality of both the food and the atmosphere has declined. I recently placed a takeout order for Hanukkah, and several items were missing. There was no phone number to call, and my messages on WhatsApp went ignored. I eventually drove back to the restaurant only to find it nearly empty—yet they still managed to forget my items. It’s a pity to see a great place losing regulars due to a lack of attention and dedication. Don't bother; it’s a waste of time.
