Great experience at Motek! It is always solid between the food and the service you can’t go wrong. Danny was great! Our favorites were the hummus, tuna tartar and of course the pita. Don’t forget to order some of the extra sauces they are so tasty!

Love Motek. We have been to the one in Boca before so we knew what to expect. Highly recommend the Muhammara and the cigars... Exceptional! Motek margarita is fabulous. Service was great. Nice birthday lunch for me.

Went there with wife, daughter, and boyfriend late Sunday. Restaurant is attractive - not as nice as Boca location. We were seated in a large and private booth immediately. Our server Silvia was attentive from start to finish. The bread, hummus, falafel, fried cauliflower and tuna carpacio were great appetizers. My wife had the hanger steak and loved it. Boyfriend had a giant Ceaser Salad with watermelon that was delicious. I had this Turkisk ground beef & lamb on bread dish that was delicious. Daughter loved her giant salad. Very healthy high quality food, although a bit $$$. I was very happy with the service and would go back if in the area.

Motek was absolutely outstanding. The flavors are incredible, honestly some of the best we’ve had.
We liked it so much that we went two days in a row just to keep trying more things on the menu! Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, and really well done. The atmosphere is great, and the whole place just has a good vibe. Service was solid and everything came out quickly. Prices are fair for the quality you’re getting. Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to when in the area.

Motek is one of our favorite spots to eat! This time we came for my husband’s birthday and it was amazing as always. Sariel’s customer service was extraordinary, he was very attentive, and recommended top options. We are definitely asking for him next time we come for dinner. I love how everyone is so welcoming. First time trying the cauliflower and wow 🤩 please do yourself a favor and include it in your order!

Everything we ate was incredible! Mary was our waitress and was so wonderful both with her service and recommendations! No matter what you do, you must get the Knafeh for dessert and mix it with the ice cream!

This was one of the greatest meals we’ve had in a long time! The staff here was extremely accommodating and helpful. We ordered the fried artichokes and the Moroccan cigars (both were incredible!). We also got the spicy feta dip and the pita. The cocktails were also great. I highly recommend coming here!

The restaurant is very close to the corner of Ponce de Leon.
It has a dining room, bar seating and two patios.
Service is efficient and relatively fast.
Their "Laffa" (flat bread) is freshly baked and very tasty.
The photos show the 4 appetizers that we had that were enough S full meals for 2.
The artichokes hearts (fried) were very tasty and the fried eggplants were served fried coated (the photo shows them similar to oversized fries. The hummus was creamy and tasty.
The only disappointment was the falafel dish. The falafel were small, too salty and too dry.
I was surprised that they automatically add 20% gratuity for a table of 2 and not just for large parties.
The (bottled) Turkish beer was OK. No beers on tap are available.
Total cost was $90 for the 4 appetizers and 1 beer.

We stopped into MOTEK for lunch and… wow! What an awesome surprise. Everything we ordered was sooooo good. We started with the spicy feta (yes, get it), the steak & caramelized onion hummus, and the crudite plate that came with those gorgeous watermelon radishes — absolutely beautiful and delicious. We also added falafel, tzatziki, and the pastrami pita because why not? Needless to say, we couldn’t finish it all, but every single dish was super good. It’s the kind of place where you want to order a bunch of things and just snack your way through the menu. Plus, everything is pretty!
The vibe is open and natural, giving a "want to hang out here all afternoon" feel... and I’m pretty sure their drinks and coffee are incredible too — saving that for next time.
Huge shout-out to Daniel, our server. Super friendly, knowledgeable, had great recommendations (and reasons for them), and was genuinely attentive. He made the whole lunch even better. Thank you!!!
Already plotting my next visit. If I lived closer, I’d be here all the time. Highly recommend for a fun, flavorful lunch, dinner, or happy hour!

Naza's excellent service and genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant's offerings made our meal truly special. He's a credit to Motek Coral Gables, and we can't wait to come back and request him as our server again!

Amelia was amazing, super nice and the experience would've not been the same without her recommendations and the way she approached every table. Food was amazing.
Halva Ice Cream the best dessert ever.

We loved having dinner here. Daniel was amazing, telling us everything we needed to know and topping off our beverages, and even though it's a busy Saturday night everything came out quick, fresh, and most importantly delicious.
Service charge aka tip was already included in the bill, but it didn't mean the quality was any less.

Last Saturday my wife and I had an outstanding dining experience at MOTEK Coral Gables. The food was divine, but it was our server Amelia who truly turned our dinner into a memorable evening. She was kind, courteous, and professional throughout. We noticed the restaurant features a large table for 12 guests and have already started planning a new visit to bring our closest friends together.

Came here for a late lunch recommended by my daughter and I am so very happy. Not only was the food, traditional and fresh, but Silvia our server was awesome. My daughter has severe food allergies, and she took the time to explain to us what she could have and what you couldn’t. They’re very conscientious about their clients needs. Because of the attention we will be back next week to celebrate my daughter‘s birthday

The amount of flavor packed into these dishes is incredible. Everything from ambience to presentation was lovely. Between two people, we shared four dishes, which was perfect for the two of us. There is so much on the menu to try, but everything we had- from the protein to the bread was absolutely delicious.

Amelia made it such a wonderful evening. Helping us not over order because we wanted everything on the menu. Such a beautiful space. With a great vibe.

Daniel was very attentive and sweet. The food was great. I usually don’t go with the server’s recommendation because I’m skeptical of them just trying to convince me to choose the most expensive thing. It was clear to me that Daniel knew what he was talking about when he recommended the dish to me. I instantly wanted to try it after his description of it. I tried it and enjoyed it!!! It was a fish special and I’m not sure exactly the name of it but I loved it and he was spot on about it being lemony and buttery. It also came with a side of mint and dill salsa that I loved. Two of my favorite herbs so that was a great surprise to me❤️The wine was also fantastic.

The food was delicious! The service was excellent. The decor is gorgeous. The $5 happy hour was divine! Natasha and Junior were a dream team. Natasha took the time to go into detail about dishes & cocktails & her enthusiasm was so infectious & made me order more than I needed to (but no regrets). Junior was so attentive & accommodating. What an incredible dining experience overall. I’ll definitely be back & I’m bringing friends!

Motek might have by far one of my favorite happy hours I've been to in Miami. They have multiple appetizers for $5 and half sandwiches for $7. Their cocktails and select wines are half off. We sat at the bar to be able to partake in it. Loved the decor of the restaurant, it felt very light and airy with the yellow and white tones throughout. There were multiple bartenders attending to our party of four. All the cocktails ordered were delicious. While there I got to try the falafel, salmon skewers, majadra rice. The skewers were exceptional.

We enjoyed Sunday brunch here, especially appreciating the attached covered parking garage—which was very convenient on a rainy day, though a bit overpriced. The outdoor seating is well-covered and offers great protection from the elements.
Our party of six was seated immediately in a spacious square booth indoors, which was comfortable and accommodating. There was no wait time, which was a nice surprise.
The food was delicious, with everything tasting fresh and homemade. The Israeli breakfast is a must-try—hearty and satisfying for just about anyone. I found the hummus a bit too spicy for my taste, but the lemon potatoes were absolutely perfect. The Paseco was enjoyable, and the wine selection offers something for every kind of wine drinker.
Service was excellent—our server was polite, funny, and professional, which really added to the experience.
Overall, while everything was high quality, the pricing felt a bit steep for what was offered.

we love this place we come once a week Mary our server is so great. She suggested a 36 hour slow cooked lamb shank that the chef prepared. It was heaven on earth! I absolutely love that this location in Coral Gables. I’ve been coming to Moe ever since they had their first hole in the wall spot in Diamond District.
I can’t live without this restaurant. It’s so good and the service and the people everything about it. The atmosphere is top-notch.

Great vibe, staff was on point that night and the food was truly good. Did not give them the 5 stars because they are missing some very traditional greek food offers but what they have is good. Its also not 100% greek, its a bit of fusion, in a good way. Fully recommend anyone to go and give it a try. Its not overly expensive either.

I was very impressed with this place. The food is delicious. I didn’t get to try the lamb shanks which is one of my favorite dishes because they had just sold the last order. We tried several appetizers l, chicken Kebab and chicken shawarma. Can’t wait to be back and try the lamb shanks and lamb chops! Cheers!!

The vibrant atmosphere truly enhanced the dining experience. The hummus was incredibly smooth and flavorful, a perfect complement to the freshly baked pita bread. Each bite of the pita offered a delightful taste and satisfying texture. The warm, inviting ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. This is a wonderful spot to savor delicious food.

This was our second visit to Motek, and once again, it left us delighted. This time, we decided to try new dishes, and as always, the experience was wonderful. Edgar, who attended us, was extremely kind and efficient, providing excellent recommendations and suggestions that made our dinner even more special. Each dish surprised us with its exquisite flavor and the freshness of its ingredients. Motek not only stands out for its delicious and healthy cuisine but also for its outstanding service. Without a doubt, it has earned a special place on our list of favorites in Coral Gables. We can’t wait to come back and keep enjoying their amazing menu!
