" A dining experience that felt like a trip to Israel! I had the falafel platter which was delightful, but I was hoping for a more robust flavor in the spices. The service was stellar, everyone was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is cozy, great for both small and large groups. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to dive into Mediterranean food. Just be aware of prices as they can add up! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Cafe Motek and it was an absolute delight! The ambiance is charming, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. My favorite was the halva dessert topped with vanilla gelato; it was a unique experience. The service was exceptional; staff made us feel at home. While the food was good, it did strike me as slightly on the pricy side, especially for the portions. Overall, a restaurant worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Motek is a great spot for anyone craving Mediterranean food. The dishes we had were fresh and bursting with flavors. The decor was charming and gave a nice vibe to the meal. Although the food was excellent, I found some items to be a bit overpriced. Still a lovely place to visit and enjoy a nice meal with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here recently and was really impressed by the freshness of the dishes! The Israeli salad was refreshing, and I loved the tahini sauce. While the portions were good, they could be bigger for the price point, especially for someone who enjoys a hearty meal. The atmosphere felt like a blend between casual dining and upscale, which I liked. Service was quite friendly. I would recommend it to anyone looking to try out Mediterranean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I stumbled upon Cafe Motek while exploring Downtown Miami and I couldn't be more pleased. The ambiance is cozy, nestled in a jewelry mall, and feels like a hidden gem. I ordered the falafel platter and it was the best I've had. The falafels were crispy on the outside and soft inside. The hummus was rich and creamy, paired beautifully with fresh pita. The service was quick and attentive. Can't wait to return! " (*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*)
