Motek Brickell Reviews

gary was the best he took care of us and was very attentive, will come again very soon especially to sit at the bar with gary 10/10

We recently visited Motek Restaurant in Brickell without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately, despite the venue being very full. The vibrant, friendly atmosphere was immediately welcoming. We ordered a few appetizers, and each one was truly tasty. Our absolute favorites were the Crispy Cauliflowers – perfectly seasoned and cooked – and the Pita Bread with Labneh and Red Pepper Jam. The service was remarkably attentive throughout our meal, thanks to the excellent supervision by Giuseppe. Highly recommended! Just a heads-up: an additional gratuity may be on your receipt, which is typical for many Miami establishments.

I had seen Motek on insta and thought let’s give it a go as I’m local. Located in the Brickell City Centre on the top floor, its pie was appealed to me. The decor is lovely. Happy Hour was a great way to experience Motek without breaking the bank. I sat at the bar. The stools are not great for bigger people. Miami is not always chunky butt friendly. The stool was ok but not comfy comfy. The team behind the bar were friendly and asked if I had any allergies. I ordered a non alcoholic beer $4, Babaganoush, chicken shawarma and halloumi. Everything was well presented and delicious apart from the chicken shawarma. The smell and taste had a curry sauce vibe and the pickled onion (I think it was) was awful. I spoke with the team and said it was not good and shawarma should not have a sauce like this in. I was prepared to pay for it $7 and ordered a latke instead. I was pleased to say they removed the cost of the shawarma. The service was attentive and friendly. The overall cost of what I had was reasonable at $25 with tip included. The only aspect I would say you need to be mindful of across Miami and not just here is the addition of tip even though service has already been included - check your receipt. I’d return for happy hour but I’d not want to pay full price for what I had. Maybe the sizes would be bigger, but I’m ok with what I had.

The food is average but the worst is the service and quality of attention. It was a couple's dinner and they brought us one dish and then 20 minutes later the other dish. When we complained, they treated us badly and told us that they have different kitchens within the restaurant and they cannot coordinate the times. They bring out each dish without caring that it takes 30 minutes. Or be a person dinner and the other wait... In addition, a large part of the living room is filled with smoke from the kitchen and you leave the restaurant smoked...

We had dinner at Motek Restaurant in December 2025. The waiter was very good in giving recommendations and explaining our dishes - we had cauliflower tabbouleh, roasted eggplant humus, moroccan cigars and salmon skewers. Most of the recipes were of Israeli origin and all tasted very good. We will return to Motek based on this excellent first impression !!

We have enjoyed great dishes at Motek Brickell. It was recommended to us by a family member. All staff and service were excellent. Special thank you to manager, Anna Lee, for her kind and helpful customer care.

Fantastic meal with my husband and adult daughter! Walked up without a reservation at lunchtime and we were seated within 5 minutes. Our waiter was amazing-attentive-helpful in choosing dishes. This restaurant tells you right on the menu that plates are meant to be shared and come out as they are made-similar to tapas restaurants. Our dishes came out so quickly, they were delicious and our waiter checked in frequently. Highly recommend and will return to try more dishes. Try the zucchini fritters, the fried cauliflower and the Turkish pita!

Motek has amazing food and the service was great. Tomas was excellent! Would definitely recommend anyone to come here and would come again myself!

The food was excellent, I would eat here again. Definitely could use a few more fans, I was a little hot out by the bar. Tomas was a great server and very friendly!!

PERFECTTT!!! Andres was the best waiter and he was very sweet and polite. Food was quick and service was immaculate. So so so good!

It's a nice place, great food. Very crowded, but service was exceptional (quick, courteous, friendly) and the quality of the food was quite high. No complaints really.

the best experience in Miami! we really enjoy the night! Joao Lamenza was amaizing! we spent a great moment! i recomend!

I booked at 8:45 PM and when I arrived they told me they don't accept reservations in the evening because they have half a menu. Shame on you.

Amazing food, just amazing. It happened that we ate there twice in the last five days. We ordered Turkish style oven pita , fish and brunch omelette. All dishes were 5/5, but the pita as 6/5. Omelette portion was so generous, at least for two people. I highly recommend this place for brunch and dinner.

excellent food, atmosphere, ambience. fyi hummus comes w pita (note there are also pitas for sale w toppings). the food was a bit overpriced and watch for the 20% tip plus request for more.

Gary’s was fantastic! Everything I tried was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were fresh and authentic. The service was outstanding from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and fast. I’ll definitely be back!

We were only three people and all the three dishes arrived at different time. So we all have to eat separetely. The second dish was cold and the bread was hard and the last one was burned. We called the Manager and he said that it was the restaurant policy to serve each dish one they were ready from kitchen and not at the same time and that the last dish was supposed to be burned. They offered a 15 US dollar discount. Even less than the 20 % service they charged to the account. Worst experience and worst Manager.

Food is just ok for the price you pay. It is very average middle eastern food (good but not great) in a nice atmosphere. Be aware of the double tipping (service charge at 20% + waiter tip). So be ready to spend much more than you thought you would. We had 5 appetizers, 2 cocktails and paid 220USD all in

I’m very upset because I love Yalla Motek at Aventura FoodCourt Motek Restauran at Aventura Mall Motek at Seybold Building This time, I was at Brickell City Center and that attitude was unacceptable The server was very disappointing and total lack of professionalism… Thanks to Marcos the manger I’m not leaving a OneStar review instead of FourStar review… I hope owners and managers will deep into this and find out that this server will keep his wrong attitude and eventually more customers will file complaints on this employee Thanks again to Marcos Cuisine as every Motek is always excellent Service should be always aligned with kitchen and customer satisfaction
