" This place definitely has potential but requires some adjustments. While the ambiance was cozy and the bar area was ace, the menu could use more authenticity. My salad featured pumpkin instead of the classic tomato and cucumber. It was creative but not traditional. Service was decent, though it just felt rushed on a busy evening. Overall, I’d consider visiting again, but only if they enhance their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed by Branja based on what others had told me. The decor is lovely, and it certainly looks like a fancy dining spot. However, the food didn't resonate with me as truly authentic Israeli. The shakshuka I ordered felt more like a generic variant than the real deal. The service was acceptable, though they were a bit overwhelmed during the dinner rush. Overall, I think the place could improve by focusing more on traditional dishes and flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our evening at Branja was nothing short of delightful. The moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the beautiful decor and charming ambiance. I ordered the lamb shank, which melted in my mouth—it was the best I've had in a long time! Paired with refreshing drinks, it truly felt like a little slice of Israel in Miami. The service was also attentive, and we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Branja's aesthetic is sublime! It feels like stepping into a mini vacation. My friend and I visited for happy hour and stayed for dinner. The cocktails were creative, and we enjoyed several appetizers, especially the tahini crack pie, which was extraordinary! If you're looking for good vibes and tasty courses, this is a must-visit in Miami! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Branja was quite pleasant overall. The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with chatter, making it enjoyable. There was a slight hiccup as our appetizers arrived at different times, but the staff was apologetic and attentive. I really loved the empanadas as they had just the right amount of seasoning. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to explore a different culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a blessed find! The intimate vibe at Branja combined with diverse flavors made for a nice dining evening. The lamb was cooked to perfection, and I've never had such fluffy pita. The only downside? A bit slow to turn over tables for dessert, but overall, I was happy to wait. Would love to return for another round of incredible flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Branja has been on my list for quite some time, and I finally got to experience it! The atmosphere is vibrant with a unique charm. I ordered the branzino which was spectacular. The plating was artistic and the flavors were fresh. I was less impressed with the hummus, which seemed more like a tahini spread rather than traditional hummus. Service was a bit slow, but the overall experience was worth it. I will be back but with different expectations on some dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
