" I had an enjoyable lunch experience at Cafe Motek, but I was expecting a bit more from the authenticity side of the menu. The chicken shawarma was flavorful and tender, but I've had better elsewhere. On the upside, the service was impeccable and the restaurant was inviting. I appreciate the vegetarian options, though a bit more seasoning could elevate the flavors. Overall, I had a good experience but felt it didn't quite hit the mark on authenticity for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Motek is one of those places you want to come back to again and again. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by warmth and a cultural vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped into Israel. The labneh served with za'atar and olive oil is a must-try; it was incredibly fresh and creamy! Also, I highly recommend the arayes burger – it's unlike anything I've ever tasted. The flavors exploded in my mouth! The service was efficient, and the sweet desserts capped off an amazing meal. I can't recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Motek exceeded my expectations. The delicious aroma as I walked in was just a hint of the fabulous meal I was about to have. The combination of spices and fresh ingredients in my chicken dish made every bite an adventure! A perfect place if you're looking for quality Mediterranean cuisine in Miami. " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend Cafe Motek for its amazing Middle Eastern cuisine! I was delighted by the authentic flavors and the cozy atmosphere. The dessert was out of this world. I was a bit disappointed with the portion size of my main course, but the service was so attentive that it made up for it! Definitely a place to revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Motek during a busy lunch hour and was amazed by how well they handled the crowd. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure everyone was taken care of. The food was on point – I had the Moroccan salmon and it was perfectly seasoned. However, the portion size could have been better for the price. All in all, a positive experience with lively atmospheres and delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to this quaint cafe was interesting! The decor had a charming vibe, and the food was quite fresh. I personally enjoyed the baba ghanoush and the pita bread that came with it. However, I wasn't as impressed with the chicken dishes; they felt a bit average. Overall, a nice experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner here and it was pretty good, though I expected a bit more authenticity from the dishes. The service, however, was top-notch and very attentive. The dessert options were delicious! Overall, it was a nice dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
