Small restaurant will a big presence. First time there and we were greeted like old friends. They did the same to all customers. The server explained everything I need to know in the menu and the have a nice variety. The coffee taste fresh ground and the breakfast was a nice portion at a good price. Definitely love the bagel and lox (my friend had that) and the cheese omelet was full of cheese 🧀. Lots of tasty Greek items on the menu and they also have a variety of other items. Really nice atmosphere overall.

Absolutely amazing breakfast. Refreshing, new, flavorful and unique. I look forward to coming back. The breakfast bowl was great and highly recommend. Enjoy this empty bowl photo

Service was good and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this place ! We got the breakfast Sandwich with a bagel and bacon egg and cheese and their famous pesto rap with seasoned fries

We were recommended this place and I’m so happy we finally came! We arrived around 10am with breakfast in mind but once we saw the menu we knew we had to try something else!!! The options are more and more delicious as you continue throughout the menu! I immediately told our waitress I wanted everything! I had a Gyro wrap and my partner had a shawarma wrap and a lentil soup. Fresh ingredients that you can see being made in front of you in the cleanest kitchen I’ve ever seen!! (The cook also works very clean!) Fast turn around time for our food and drinks! Spectacular service and the place is so beautifully decorated! Will definitely be back again!

I came with my family and I really loved the food, the service, and everything! I really recommend this place.

Absolutely loved it! 😍 The food was fresh and full of flavor, the staff was super friendly, and the vibes were just perfect. Can’t wait to come back! 🍽✨

Everything is soooo delicious, full of flavor. The service is spectacular. 100% recommend

This was my first time dining here, and it was a great experience. The young man who served us was very nice and helpful. The food tasted fresh and delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Was in the area for a conference and was craving something filling but healthy for lunch, and this place completely delivered. The chicken pesto protein bowl was spectacular. Packed with rice, veggies, flavor, and the chicken was perfectly cooked (it was still steaming when the bowl was delivered). And the staff was super friendly and speedy. Can't recommend enough.

The food is amazing!!!! Loved it so much…amazing desserts.

Food is delicious. The service was excellent. Great friendly vibe.. highly recommended. I just wish they stayed open later 6pm to early. I can't get there in time for my chicken pesto, wrap 🔥

This is legitimate Mediterranean home cooking at its finest! The lentil soup is delicious and so has everything else we’ve tried from the Lamb Shawarma platter, their amazing freshly prepared falafel, their Kibbeh is amazing. Everything is fresh and perfectly seasoned. Thanks for serving our neighborhood guys and keep it up!

Ordered Greek salad with chicken, Shawarma platter, and tiramisu. Nice service, delicious food and generous portions. Highly recommend.

My family and I have been coming to Pesto for YEARS, and the quality of food and service has always been phenomenal. Shout out Kayla, our extremely tentative and amazing server!

My wife and I have been wanting to try this spot out. I had some take out about 4 yrs ago. Today we had a shawarma lamb and chicken wrap and kibbeh. 1st, let me say that I doubt the bad reviews were written by foodies, but rather some just miserable people. The food was amazingly fresh and home made. I will definitely be back as a regular and it helps that it’s very close to my home. The owner is cooking his heart out and has his son as a waiter. This is the a small business that I will be proud to support. Do your self a favor and avoid the negative reviews, and try this spot and say hello to the cook who is a good man!

We are local in the area and always prefer Pesto over other places in West Kendall. Chef and staff are very friendly. Menu is will not disappoint and the special are fantastic amd creative. Will recommend!!

Great food every time and service is really good.

They do everything right here! Good food and attentive service! If you want to get some food that won’t make you feel guilty for eating it, and pretty quickly too, you know where to go!

Delicious breakfast! Friendly staff and excellent service! Good sized portions. What a nice surprise to find this place in our neighborhood. 👍😁❤

Was craving shawarma for what felt like an eternity, so I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap, and it was delicious. Excellent food, excellent service.

Tried this place today for the first time and let’s say, The staff is amazingly nice, the food was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely be coming back for more. The wraps are huge!

Such a gem to have near home. Always great service and quality from Rocky and his crew!!

We came here on a trip for lunch - wowza 10/10 food, was not expecting it to be one of the best lunches I’ve had in awhile. The pesto wrap was amazing! Service was exceptional- highly recommend if you are in the area!

Amazing and fresh food at a great price. The Chef and staff are extremely kind and attentive, cooking live your orders, served hot and fresh. This is now our favorite spot in Kendall for quality, tasty and fresh food. If you're reading this, try the chicken and waffles, kids are hooked ;) Thank you Chef!

Enjoyed the Greek omelet for breakfast as well as bacon/eggs/pancakes and hash browns. The food was well seasoned and yummy. The flavors were very good. The owners were kind and friendly with good service. Very much enjoyed this spot!

The moment I came across this gem I've never had a reason not to go back. The owner is fabulous, attentive, kind, and most of all an amazing cook. The staffs there are always happy to assist. Two days ago, I went to order my man some food and I kind of forgot what he normally orders due to we don't live so close by so we aren't there every day but no surprise the owner remembers his meal and food was ready in a jiffy. Thats the kind of business people we need the ones who cares to remember their guest not only what they got in their pocket. Once again thanks to the Pesto Grill folks for making fresh delicious food and it sure beats any restaurant around the area when it comes to taste and health. May God bless yall ♥

Amazing little cafe! Everything is homemade, fresh, flavorful, and beautiful! Friendliest owners too. My daughter and I went in for breakfast and both ended up ordering lunch. Best falafel I’ve ever had. Also got some baklava to-go. Can’t wait to go back when we’re in town. Thank you!!

Really Good food 🤤🤤, loved the place and the vibe. The Employees are very kind and attentive. 🩵🩵🩵

Every time I come I fall in love with this place authentic Mediterranean food super healthy great price very big portions

Pesto Cafe & Grill has been my go to for breakfast. They accommodate my order and always come through. The delicious delights they serve are incredible. Everything is amazing!

This has have to be the best little spot that has amazing wraps and amazing breakfast bagels . Also the service was the best and customer service was great . Also the cook came out and asked us how was everything. Extremely happy

The service was amazing. The owners are very polite and the food is wonderful! 😍 Definitely stop and have their food!

Family run spot with food that’s made with love. Generous portions and wonderful quality with a beautiful presentation! Kayla our server was so sweet and attentive! Will be back for sure!

I came here for the first time and the first thing I loved is how cute the place is inside. The service is great and the food is delicious. I had the Greek gyro platter and definitely recommend it.

Last week my coworker surprised me with breakfast. It was so great and such a huge portion that I had to drop into Pestos to treat her today. This time I got to meet the owner, Rocky who was very kind! He was quick with my order which I was grateful for so that I could make it to work on time. He asked if I liked clam chowder and offered me a small home made serving. Can’t wait to try it and also come back to try other menu items with my family. Had to edit my review to come back & say that the clam chowder was one of the best I’ve ever had! Absolutely DELICIOUS!

Wowww woww woww! Where to begin... if I could use 3 words to describe this place it would be Homie, Friendly, and Delicious. Pesto Cafe and grill is a mom and pop shop ran by a very hardworking and kind family whose sole purpose from the moment you step in is to deliver to highest quality experience they can. It literally feels like I am coming in to visit a close family member. What drove me to come here was their images of bagels I saw online. Everyone continued to rage on how incredible they were and let me tell you... THEY WERE SO GOOD. I decided to order a breakfast sandwich with their bagel as the “buns”, filled with crispy bacon, 2 eggs and melted cheese. I mean cmon! It doesn’t get better than that. After that first bite I new I was immediately hooked. Overall, amazing experience and I will definitely be back soon. -The Fashionable Foodie

Adored this little restaurant! It was my first time visiting and I had a pleasant time with my party of 6. The food came out quickly, our waitress was lovely and the food was amazing.

THE BEST SHAWARMA PLATTER IVE EVER HAD!!! I’m so glad I found this place I love Mediterranean food but never seem to find a good spot but this place was spectacular and you can tell it’s authentic and fresh!! My new favorite spot!

The food here is so delicious! You won’t be disappointed. I had the chocolate pistachio baklava for dessert….Amazing.

I found this place thru YELP and decided to take my sister for breakfast. Upon entering it looked small but clean. It almost has the same appearance like a Subway restaurant. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was good. I had a cappuccino with the eggs benedict.

SO GOOD!!! Food was delicious, you can tell good quality fresh ingredients are used. Staff was so kind, definitely coming back!

Delicious bowls and sandwiches- Mediterranean and Cuban dishes. Reasonably priced and huge portions. Very fresh and well prepared.

Amazing, I hadn't expected to come for Middle Eastern and being Egyptian Israeli this has to be one of the best plates I have had in the US. That includes growing up in LA with plenty of Middle Eastern options. Just what I needed after a long night. The owners are awesome, everyone was amazing and much success and blessings.

Been coming here for many years and the food is always fresh and very flavorful. The platter in the photo is the lamb platter; lamb, baba ganoush fresh cabbage fresh cucumber lettuce chopped fine tomatoes hummus lentil beans Middle Eastern almond rice, and eggplant salad. Always good to also ask for the off menu dishes that are done weekly they have always been good and is always a delight.

Great quality food! Friendly clean and respectful environment, 100% recommend this is my favorite breakfast spot

Amazing spot . Head chef does a great job with the food . Everything I have tried has been fresh and delicious. Service is friendly and professional. Great job and keep it up. You can tell this people care about what they do.

I'm so glad Kendall has such a legit breakfast place! We needed to grab a quick breakfast on the way to beach and this place is beyond expectations! The owner was very kind. Oh and great value too!

This place is a hidden gem, small family owned breakfast/lunch place. I had the everything bagel sandwich and it was delicious. The pancakes were great too and the wraps are amazing!!

Food is delicious! The chicken on the chicken and waffles is so cripsy and satisfying. Sauces and batter made from scratch! The chef and staff are extremely warm and helpful and the location is kept clean with a nice esthetic. I'm so glad I found this café! I will definitely be coming back.

Their portions r big so order while putting that in mind. But they r TOO BIG they r just perfect size. You get what you pay for so it’s worth it. Its def a hidden gem 💎

Today was my first time at this restaurant and I can tell you I’ll be back many times! The quality of the food is excellent. Everything is fresh and very well done! The service is good. It is a small place and all the personnel is very attentive and on the lookout for anything you need. Love small businesses, they tend to care more for their customers and this place excels at that!

Speechless every time. We leave this place so satisfied. We have become regulars now. Nothing can keep away the need for shawarma. I am unstoppable. I GAIN SUPER POWERS WITH SHAWARMA. and dont get me started on the desserts. I am unconsious

Best Hummus i have ever try!!! Very fresh and delicious. Tabboule Salad was excelent and the Kebbeh also very good. The Pita Bread was hot and very fresh. 100% Recommended.

The food was amazing! Especially the falafel, I would recommend it a 100% , and will definitely return when I'm back at the 305

This has been my go to breakfast place the staff is very friendly and welcoming and the food is great quality every time I highly recommend.

Just finished breakfast at Pesto cafe and enjoyed the entire experience. Food is wholesome and uncomplicated. Service was fantastic and could not have been any better. A small clean cozy space that was filled with couples and friends and a family, all enjoying the food and the company. I'll be coming back for sure.

This family run business is as tasty as can be. The chef makes food in minutes. Breakfast is always amazing. Brunch is good too...

Emil, Five stars, I had an amazing experience at pesto Restaurant. thanks to emile his service was outstanding period he constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed without being overbearing period it's been a long time since I've received service this good period a meal truly too went above and beyond, for my son tonight and I really know. Believe both He and his restaurant deserve to be recognized for their accident. Hospitality period I'll definitely be back!

Food is amazing and the service only adds to it. Everyone is super caring and wants to make sure you have everything right. My girlfriend has a dairy allergy and they went above and beyond to ensure everything is ok for her to eat. 10/10 *will* come back.

Great Food, nice staff! Authentic cuisine and also a very nice spot for breakfast. We went here a few times and will come back again

Highly recommended.. I’m from Middle East.. I know well how is the taste of mediterranean food ,, this restaurant serve an authentic mediterranean food and it’s one of the best in Miami!

Amazing. My pesto chicken wrap was fire. My bro’s Cuban Sandwhich was awesome as well. Plan to come back no matter what if I’m in the neighborhood.

Stopped for lunch. Food was great. I had the shawarma wrap and my wife had the Cuban. The lamb was tasty, the wrap was huge, and the fries were crispy. The Cuban was also very tasty. Service attentive and friendly.

I went with my mom on Saturday. the food was amazing and everyone was so nice and very attentive. The owner came to talk to us and we told him how good the food was and how nice everyone was. We were supposed to go back the next day but we could not make it. We will be back this weekend. Thank you all for being so kind.

I came to try this place out for a quick lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with how good everything was. A hidden gem in west Kendall. The Lamb Shawarma wrap was delicious and so was the Baklava. The service here is good too they are very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back to give the other things on their menu a try.

The owners and staff are fantastic. The food is beyond amazing. Tastiest falafels among everything else. You can’t go wrong with any dish.

Super fast service and everything on the plate was fantastic. The shawama platters are humongous!

My husband and I have been ordering take-out from this place and we have always been very impressed with the taste and quality of the food. Recently, we decided to sit in the restaurant and we were not disappointed. The place is well decorated and the service was equally great. The falafel platter is AMAZING and the portion size was huge! The ingredients are so fresh and the pita bread and falafel were still warm. I ate everything and was very satisfied after. I have yet to try more of their dishes, but all I've tried so far has been 5 stars. Also, their bathroom is clean. Most establishments I go to have dirty bathrooms and look greasy. This place feels and looks clean.

Today Friday in our next food adventure breakfast time we arrived at Pesto Cafe and grill located in kendall 162 with a category of 5 In Pesto cafe and Grill they offer excellent quality meals with a unique and explosive combination of flavors, chef Rocky mixes Arab and European cuisine The decoration is very attractive and striking in colors, the place is very clean, you can see how they cook your order but you do not smell anything, excellent extraction system. I invite you to try this place which offers breakfast all day from delicious shawarma, falafel salads and wraps and other exquisite options to try on the menu.

I feel like their cappuccino deserves its own post because it is just sooooo good! I have on many occasions come in just for a quick fix, it’s delicious every single time. This little spot never ceases to surprise me, I just tried their shawarma chicken wrap for the first time (I normally come for breakfast), and OH MY GOODNESS! So so flavorful, beautifully crafted, perfect combination of spices 👌🏼 Everyone I recommend this hidden gem to becomes instantly hooked! The prices and portion sizes are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is fantastic! Coming back to try the chicken pesto wrap soon because my in laws can’t say enough great things about it!

First time ever coming here and the food was amazing. It was hard to pick just one thing off the menu because everything looked so good. I picked the bacon egg and cheese and it was beyond my expectations! Good big portions as well and personally to my favorite thing was the lemonade! It came in a cute mason jar, I am very picky about lemonade and I don’t know if it was made in house or not but it sure taste like it!! Plan to come again and try some new things. Also even if you are full, please get the grandmother cake.. you will not regret :3

Our family’s favorite place to eat breakfast and middle eastern food (especially the tabbouleh) The owner is amazing and the staff is always on point. Highly recommend!

Best place to go in Kendall! Whether you're craving Shawarma and Hummus or American Breakfast/Lunch, they cover it all and never disappoint! I always leave happy and full! The customer service is amazing and i'm always greeted the moment I walk in the door like family! Pesto will always be my #1 spot!!!! 10000000/10 recommend to everyone!

Excellent food, great choices and the perfect coffee, is a must try it. Very recommended.

My first time here and I tell you not only is the food amazing but the service is impeccable from the moment we walked in till the very moment we walked out we really felt taken care of. I went with my wife and my 1 year old son and I tell you they really care about their customers. I will definitely be recommending to everyone and my new go to place and don’t sleep on the food the food is amazing you can tell the chef really cares

Family owned business. Service is excellent. And so is the food. Large portions. Very tasty Mediterranean fusion place. Highly recommend

Food is great and so is the service. It's always feels good to walk in and greeted by the friendly owners and staff. We try to make it to this little restaurant every month or two for breakfast or lunch. 5 stars all the way. Great Mediterranean food and more.

This place deserves 10 stars. Food is incredible. Fresh, savory and delicious. Words can’t describe how good it was. Highly recommend.

Best Pesto Panini i’ve ever had. Best tuna Melt i’ve had. Service was fantastic. no complaints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something affordable and delicious!

Great place to go to for breakfast. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich amazing! Also thr pecan pancake with blueberry is spectacular! Even the cafe con leche is awesome! Great customer service by all staff.

I had a platter and everything on it was to perfection! Loved the variety of veggies: Eggplant, onion, garlic, spinach, parsley, lentils, purple cabbage, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, hummus and probably more. The flavor was fantastic with a tangy lime taste that was not overpowering. Delicious, healthy, filling. We will be back in on our way back from the keys. Would love to have a conversation with the owners who I found out we're from Bethlehem.

We had brunch at Pesto Cafe yesterday for the first time and it was also our first time having Arabic food. I was so excited to try and it did not disappoint! We had the breakfast burrito with their fries and the pesto chicken platter. Wow!! The flavors were amazing.. the burrito is made of a type of Arabic tortilla (don't know name) and a different type of sausage. It was delicious and the fries had some spice on them that was great. The pesto chicken was huge and juicy and I wish they sold their pesto in a jar. Great cappuccino and Arabic lady fingers for dessert made of pistachio and cashew nuts. I've never had a dessert like that and it was amazing. Desert was sent to our table compliment of the owner which also came to greet us. If you visit ask for Kayla she was a delight of a server. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing food. Loved the Lamb Shawarma, my son loved the Gyro. Went last Friday with my wife and son. Our server was very attentive. We sat outside, they have a couple of tables. We loved the Lamb Shawarma plate. The meat is delicious but it also have of lot other excellent mediterranean sides. It's close to home, we will come back many times. Our server mentioned the breakfast is really good too.

Es uno de esos lugares q te vuelves adicto a sus platos. Los cuales son perfectamente elaborados, sus combinaciones, los productos y detalles con los que el chef los elabora. Siempre preciso y respetuoso con cada producto que usa en sus platos. Lo felicito chef.

Comida deliciosa. Raciones generosas. Buena atención. Ampliamente recomendable. Es.como una fusión entre comida Árabe, americana y latina. Delicioso todo

Las mejores Shawarmas de todo Miami, excelente atención personalizada por sus mismos dueños, realmente siempre todo súper rico. 👌👌👌👍🏻

We went for breakfast on a Friday at 10:30 AM. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all. All the service staff were friendly and did a great job. All three of us had hash brown potatoes that were very greasy and tasted as if they’ve been using the same oil for a long time. The rest of our food was good and they offered samples of a clam chowder soup that was excellent.

We visited Pesto Cafe only to try their Mediterranean food, we were craving for Arabic food and we were hungry, place was almost empty, just one table had people eating, so we choose a table and waited for service, we noticed a couple of people waiting on food to go, also, a few people came in to pickup food food deliveries, we were greated fast and I asked the lady for recommendations, so we ordered the chicken and lamb shawarma platter and the kibbe platter, service was average, food came in fairly quick, good presentation, lots of ingredients, good flavor (Not the best but good). My chicken and lamb platter was tasty, the only downside was that the chicken and lamb were either overcooked or refried because it was very chewy and crisp also very dry, the rest was just ok, we also noticed the kibbe platter was lacking protein, for the size of the platter only two very small pieces of kibbe was certainly not enough, also the pita bread was lacking, so we ordered and extra serving of kibbe, to complement the rest of the veggies, salad and creams, the platter should come with at least 3 pieces or they should make them a little bigger. Overall, we satisfied our appetite. Having eating on other Lebanese restaurants before, I would say this is at fast food level, not bad, but I had better meals at other restaurants with better quality and prepared ingredients which makes the food more authentic, here I had the feeling they were cutting corners and focusing more on the fast food delivery type of restaurant. Prices are little bit higher than other places with more quality food. Parking is a hit or miss due to the gym nearby. Overall, I might try again in the future to finally convince myself is worth it.

Food is a little strong. Ordered to go so I would need to try it in person, but too many different sauces in one place for the chicken shawarma bowl.

I recently had a late lunch at Pesto Grill Cafe and had a mixed experience. While the service was outstanding, as we arrived almost at close time, the staff was very attentive and super friendly. The food, on the other hand, was disappointing. The tabbouleh salad and fried kibbeh lacked seasoning, they were very bland. The salad was lacking salt and maybe a little bit of lemon. The veggie grape leaves on the other hand seemed old and cold. However, I must say that the hummus and falafel were absolutely delicious. The hummus was creamy and super tasty! And the falafel was crunchy but soft on the inside. Super delicious! Overall, it was a pleasant experience with some standout dishes but I was expecting more base on the great reviews it has.

food is awful and expensive! $7+ for a cup of burnt american coffee?! $16+ for a gyro that was a flatbread stuffed with lettuce and like 4 razor-thin pieces of flavorless lamb and easily the worst tzatziki ever. the missus had an omelette, which tasted like burnt oil, and for the toast one if the pieces was the butt of the bread. service: lousy. to add insult to injury they’re burning oil on the flattop, so there’s vaporized oil in the dining area. avoid this place.
