Went to this specific location bc it had impossible Arayes on the menu. Found out they stopped serving it for awhile so was really disappointed. Was not a fan of their Moroccan salmon wrap. Everything was avg, but the fam absolutely loved the chicken shwarma. Eggplant hummus was good too. Liked Cafe Motek, but would stick to Israeli food.

Cafe Motek – Downtown delighted us with its cozy atmosphere and stylish interior. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and we especially enjoyed the Middle Eastern dishes. Service was fast and friendly, and the staff was always ready to help with your selection. The prices are justified by the quality and presentation of the food. It’s a great spot for a leisurely breakfast or lunch in the city center.

I’ve been a loyal customer at Motek in Miami for a long time, and my experiences there have always been excellent—great food, great service, and high standards overall. Unfortunately, my visit to the Downtown location today was the complete opposite.
As it was my first time at this specific location, I mistakenly placed my order at a totem that is apparently only for pickup. This was an honest mistake and not clearly communicated. When I received my food, I politely explained that I didn’t realize this and kindly asked if my food could be served on a plate.
Instead of being understanding, the staff member was extremely rude and confrontational. He began arguing with me in front of other customers, which was very embarrassing and completely unnecessary. I was treated poorly despite being respectful and apologetic. As a customer, this was shocking and unacceptable.
The situation drained my energy, and I ultimately asked for my order to be canceled and left without eating. I’ve never experienced anything like this at Motek before, which makes this even more disappointing.
Motek is usually known for high standards, amazing food, and excellent customer service—but sadly, this location does not reflect that at all. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the customer service issues at this branch.

After reading great reviews about this place I was keen to dine here. I was indecisive about what to order as there were so many great dishes to choose from! The chicken skewer was edible but lacked flavour. Halloumi is standard, can’t go wrong and it was delicious. The restaurant was located in a building full of jewellery stores; I almost missed it completely!

Go to any other location. Motek usually has amazing food. This location is beyond horrible. The food was obviously made days ago. Rice was dry and barely edible. I wonder if they ship the unused food from other locations to be served here. The staff has no sense of urgency, on their phones and could not be bothered to do their job. 0/10 Would not return again.

Motek my absolute favorite ❤️ spot in Miami! Honestly the food is so good! It’s by far the best I’ve had outside of Israel! Hummus is perfection! And every other dish I’ve had was just perfect! I try to eat here at least 2x a month. With their new location coming to Miami Beach will easily be eating here once a week!

I came here with my friend for lunch after shopping at Aventura mall the food was pretty good. I would not give it five stars, but it was good. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive nice kind. It’s a cute atmosphere, but at the end of the day, it’s a restaurant in the mall. we had the burger, which was good but not great. We had the salmon which I felt could’ve been slightly larger. The hummus is amazing. The Israeli salad was great as well. The dessert was average.

Amazing! Got the Motek Sampler, each of the hummus dishes in it was amazing, very fresh taste with the pita. Also got the falafels which were great. The spicy schnitzel sandwich was good too. Overall a very good stop for Mediterranean food in the area! Prices are reasonable given the area and it is spacious enough. It is a bit confusing to find it, it is located inside the mini mall area.
