Yalla Motek

Excellent Food!!! Delicious!! The price is fair and the size of dishes is enough. My husband and I tried the hummus bowl with crispy chicken and the hummus bowl with chicken shawarma. Both great options!! I really recommend to try this restaurant which is Mediterranean street food.

I don’t know who wouldn’t give this place 5 stars. The food is wow. And the price is super fair. It’s incredible every single time.

Good food and the portion size was more than enough. Tasty and delicious . Excellent service. Keep up the good work team. I ordered the quinoa and falafel bowl.

Delicious Kosher Middle Eastern cuisine in the heart of the Adventura Mall. The waffle fries and each item on the menu is super flavorful and tasty. The area is clean and the workers are helpful. Honestly of the most unique Middle Eastern spots in the area. 10/10 recommend!

The tastiest and most flavorful option in the food court! The variety of textures and flavors makes it a truly delicious dish

Make sure you visit the upstairs location of Yalla Motek, as I initially went to the bottom one which is not kosher, just kosher-style. Once inside the upstairs spot, I was in for an incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious, transporting me straight to the flavors of Israel. As a designer, I couldn't help but notice and appreciate the attention they put into their branding – it's evident even on their bags. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and it was a delightful surprise. The chicken was light and airy, striking the perfect balance of flavor without being too dense. The real game-changer was the amba sauce – it truly set the sandwich apart and elevated the taste to a whole new level. The waffle fries were a revelation – perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They were addictive and I couldn't get enough of them. To complement the meal, I opted for the Cold Mint Lemonade, or lemonana as it's commonly known. It was a refreshing and delightful beverage that beautifully complemented the flavors of the food. All in all, Yalla Motek not only serves up authentic and delicious Israeli cuisine, but they also pay attention to the details that enhance the overall experience. From the food to the branding, every aspect is carefully considered, making it a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic taste of Israel. My visit was nothing short of fantastic, and I can't wait to return for another memorable meal. Five stars without a doubt!

I love this place and hope that it never leaves! ***But Service is bad and needs a lot of help. It all starts with the manager, they set the tone and expectation. Customers should be welcomed, not ignored. Help the people waiting in line to order. Ask them if they have any questions. I would give people a tiny sample of the Mint Lemonade(it's delicious) your sales would go up. Smile when giving people their order. You had a couple employees just leaning on the counters ignoring customers 2 feet away from them. Not good. "If can lean, you can clean." I only gave this place a 5 star, because we love the food and hate when delicious restaurants disappear. Please straiten up you staff!! Hire new managers, step up your training, and hold higher expectations of your managers and staff. Don't yell at your staff. Hire quick, Fire quicker, if they don't meet the happy great service that your food and location demand. Thanks for your time and understanding,

I was skeptical about the food initially so we only ordered one dish and took the first bite and immediately ordered 5 more dishes. Our favorite of all was Shawarma and falafel. Friendly staff, always with a smile. Small tip: you can see the through the mirror, how your food is getting assembled.

The food is delicious. I love their chicken shawarma bowls, this place has one of the best Mediterranean flavors I’ve ever had. This is my go to place when I eat in the food court I aventura mall. The only downside is the wait time. Expect 15-30 minutes to receive your order.

Food is alright. The hummus was bitter. It was spiced well but tasted off. The pita was dry. The pocket was given hot but still dry. The service was slow. Too many orders received at one place. They need more employees.

I like their shawarma and the appetizers they offer! 😋 The food is a bit pricey for the portion size. It was a fun experience watching the machine slice the meat so neatly. I also had the falafel and breaded eggplant. Their falafel was tiny and not worth it. However, I liked it with the yellow sauce. #foodie #shawarma #eeeeat

It’s my first time here and the lamb shawarma was really good, however the hummus and garlic sauce (provided on the side) could have been better.

Yalla Motek offers an amazing concept with Israeli fast food. The schnitzels are delicious, although the texture was a bit hard, like frozen food with a warm outside. However, the rice bowl was fantastic. Overall, it's a great addition to the fast food scene!

I bought chicken shawarma that cost 17$ with tips . The size of portion is too small to make you full. I think bread was frozen before and it got to napkin so it was impossible to bite. For me this dish wasn’t a good size but I like hummus there. Sorry I’m gonna put 3* because is overpriced and small portions

Crispy chicken sandwich was cold and there were more onions than chicken. The lamb sandwich was warm and very greasy. The waffle fries were also cold. I guess that is too be expected from food court food. I will not be eating here again.

Used to be really delicious, but now not so much. Also the service is VERY slow (and borderline rude) and the food is always a sloppy mess like they’re slapping it together and dousing it in sauce. This is the 3rd time I’ve said to myself I won’t come back and this time I really won’t.

I love Mediterranean foam. But it was a very poor experience. I had Turkish rice with lamb at Aventura Mall in the Food court. All cold, and flavorless. Too grassy and the meat was a little burned. It was not even possible to feel the delicious usual flavor of the lamb. I will not be back.

Besides the wait being forever, I asked for assistance since no one was at the counter. I shared we wanted two sandwiches meat only with tahini. I asked was that ok… sure was the replied. Oh let me add I LOVE MOTEK and am ecstatic we have one in my neighborhood in South Beach. Well, it was disappointing and disastrous. The sandwich came with the fixings which I asked specifically to be left off. We had already driven to my friends home which meant we were stuck. I weighed the chicken on the sandwich and it was paltry considering the cost of each sandwich. The lemonade is good. It’s obvious there is also a managerial problem here. The young Argentinian woman worked the job of two. Plus there needs to be more help at the non self service kiosk.

I ordered a lamb shawarma sandwich pita, the food didn’t came with tahini and hummus and paper even it shows in the menu I didn’t got non, not inside the sandwich and not on the side, the lamb was too dry and burn, I came back and asked for 2 tahini sauce and got only 1 and it’s so small its last than a 1 oz, very cheap, I will not return here do your self a favor and spend your hard working money somewhere else

I’ve been going to this place for almost two years. Yesterday, I visited again and ordered three lamb shawarmas in pita. Now, I asked the lady(I guess she was Indian) working there if they had them freshly prepared, and she said yes. But when I looked around, there was no one actually grilling anything. There was no shawarma on the grill at all, and it was clear they just reheated some leftovers in the back kitchen and served them to us. I ended up paying about $77 including tip, and honestly, the lamb shawarma was oily and tasted like old leftovers. In short, it was a really bad experience. After nearly two years of coming here, I’ve noticed the portions have been getting smaller and the quality has been going downhill. They’ve started skimping on the extras and the overall service is just not what it used to be. So, this was the last straw for me. I won’t ever recommend this place to any of my friends. It’s just not worth it.

I’ve ordered from this restaurant twice now, and both times were a complete disaster when it came to service. The first time, one of the meals I paid for was simply missing from the order. No explanation, no apology just gone. The second time, I had extra sauces and a side order to my order and paid for them, but they never arrived. Again, no communication, no effort to make it right. I called the number provided to report the issue, and all I got was an automated message that lets you leave a message. I left a detailed message and received a generic text saying someone would handle it. That was the last I heard, no follow-up, no refund, no resolution. I essentially paid for food I never received, and that’s unacceptable. To be clear: the food itself is great. But what good is great food if you can’t trust the restaurant to deliver what you paid for? The service is shockingly bad, and the lack of accountability is even worse. I won’t be ordering again until they fix their customer service and start treating their customers with respect.
