Really nice experience, even though it was in a mall. No wait for a table and I really enjoyed the food. Little pricer for lamb but I enjoyed it.Lots of tables so it appears the can accommodate parties of any size.Great service which was awesome, Miami just automatically applies gratuity, so I’m assuming they know they are getting tipped so just provide prompt / quality experiences

Located in downtown Miami, in one of the shopping stores, I think it’s a good place for breakfast or brunch. Don’t feel the atmosphere will be very cozy for dinner.Had shakshuka and grilled cheese. Both were good and bread that came with shakshuka was hot and tasty. I didn’t like coffee, but overall atmosphere and food was nice.

Was asked by one of the waiters to make a review, but would have made one anyways because the food was real good.We ordered the following:Labneh Za'atar - a very refreshing dip with nice warm and soft pita breadTahini Chicken Wrap - good serving of well seasoned chicken, wrap was toasted well which gave the wrap some crunch, the homemade Tahini sauce was amazingDouble Short Burger - didn't personally eat this, but my partner did and said that it was okay and that the fries were real goodRimonana (drink) - very good with a hint of mint. Could have been a little less sweetBaklava - the Baklava was FIRE. Reminded us of Karakoy Gulluoglu in TurkeyDon't understand the reviews of some other patrons about how slow the food was and how inattentive the service was. The food was served so fast that we thought we were in McDonald's for a second. The waiters were also attentive and asked how we were doing and if we needed anything.Will definitely be back!

Excellent little spot in a very unique and creative location inside the seybold building in downtown. Had the pleasure of enjoying lunch here today and was blown away by all the deliciousness that came out of their kitchen. All the food was great and the waiter Samir was awesome! Will definitely be back.

We had some trouble finding this place as it’s in the middle of a jewelry exchange building and so we walked around in circles before finding it. But let me tell you, it was worth every second! We got the arayes burger with fries. Both came out piping hot and cooked to perfection! The seasoning for the kofte filling and crunchy bread all comes together blissfully in your mouth. In addition to ketchup, it comes with two other incredible sauces. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Miami!

So, I recently ate a delicious meal surrounded by more gold, diamonds and precious gems than almost anywhere in the United States, and fortunately, you can as well! The Motek Cafe is located in the historic Seybold building, which according to their website is the second largest diamond and jewelry center in the USA! Also officially on the National Register of Historic Places. The Cafe has seating inside the restaurant as well as seating in the corridor of the Seybold Building where you can gaze in awe of vast amounts of gems and jewelry! The Cafe does a truly remarkable job of preparation and presentation all with super efficient service that gives diners well thought out dishes that are sure to please. Serving all day brunch, salads, hummus, burgers, wraps, sandwiches as well as plates, bowls with delicious beverages and sweets. Every time while dining food has Ben delivered quickly, looking beautiful and has never fallen short. I have tasted perhaps some of the best breads in Miami so far such as the unbelievable pita and Jerusalem breads, so, so fresh! The steak sandwich & the chicken shawarma plates both top notch. Don't miss the Rimonana (mint lemonade with pomegranate). Also great Turkish coffee, baklava and rugelach! When you have finished your meal, don't forget to check out the 300+ jewelry stores on 10 floors!!

My first reaction to this seeing the location of this restaurant was not good. It is located in a lobby / mall of a building in downtown Miami. But the restaurant was nicely decorated in a very modern and tasteful way. The food was amazing and the overall experience was enjoyable. I would definitely go back when next in Miami.

I went to Motek - Downtown for a quick stop for a breakfast and can say that it was the most delicious Shakshuka in Miami. Taste is very rich and all ingredients are fresh. I also ordered Jerusalem Lox & Bagel but this dish didn’t impress me so much.Service with great hospitality, place is little bit tiny but charming.Great option for a quick breakfast or brunch.

First Time first impressions, Amazing experience and amazing food. My wife, I and my friends came here and were seated within 1 minute (they were quite busy as well). The food came out very fast and it was delicious. Our server was very nice and the cleanliness of the restaurant was top notch.We ordered the Arais, chicken Shawarma warp, sandwich stake. They were all delicious and fresh.Also, I ordered some sweets and they were so good and fresh.
