Coming from an Arabic home myself I did I felt like a child with the dishes prepared by the Chef Ali! It was an honor to meet him and I will be surely be going here twice a week as a minimum! Definitely the best Arabic food I have tried in years.

This little gem is my new favorite place! The owner Chef Ali was so helpful and informative. Such a joy to talk to him. He gave us samples of the baklava that was to die for so we bought that, candy, grape leaves, baked pita chips and a few otehr things. I highly record this place and can’t wait to go back!

The place doesn’t look good ngl... but they have great food! Is truly a hidden gem. I’ve tried grape leaves all over Miami, and this was the best place, they were just delicious. And their prices were also way cheaper than all of the Middle Eastern supermarkets that I’ve been to. 👌🏽

I can’t keep biting my tongue. I’ve been coming here for years and this is the single best middle eastern shop in Miami hands down.FOUR FELAFELS FOR $1???!! And not only that they’re sesame crusted and made fresh every day. The pita fresh every day. The hummus fresh every day. Everything fresh every day and of the highest quality and lowest price.I don’t know the shopkeeper’s name but he’s been running the shop 12+ hours a day for decades.For his quality and prices I think this man is a saint and deserves your business. So next time you go buy anything middle eastern, skip Trader Joe’s, skip Daily Bread, skip everything and come straight to Middle East Best food. It really is the best!!! Especially his felafels dear god

The owner is a great man and an excellent chef. He has a great assortment of spices, olives, and nuts from the middle east. I got his hummus for the first time and I will never be able to eat any other hummus ever again. This was the most delicious hummus I have ever eaten. Will be back weekly to pick up this hummus.

I came upon this little hole in the wall middle eastern market while I was walking down the street on my lunch break. I never noticed it before. I walked in and the owner was there and greeted me. I asked him about what he sold and he was very friendly and enthusiastic to show me his store. Turns out he was a chef and has traveled all over the world! He also knows 9 languages! He told me some stories of his travels and showed me pictures of him cooking in France! Then he let me try his home made hummus! It was amazing!!! I left with his home hummus and babaghanouj Along with some Turkish apple tea and stuffed grape leaves and pita bread! I didn’t plan on buying anything but it was too delicious not to bring home to.What a great experience shopping here! I can’t wait to return!!!

If you are not careful this tiny Mediterranean heaven will easily be missed by your eyes. Shabby tiny little store is operated by a very pleasant elderly man. All the Baklava, Nan, Gyros and many more stuff that I dont know the names of are prepared by him. They are as close to perfection as you can get. And the price is cheaper than the other stores. Doesnt have all the bells and whistles but definitely one of the best Mediterranean bakery and food in Miami.

Mr. Aziz makes the best shawarma, hands down! Excellent selection of olives and he has THE BEST baklava, 7 different kinds. He even has the yogurt drinks . Very happy to have visited this treasure. God Bless you Mr. Aziz.

Ive had various items from Bake: banana bread (great), chocolate chip cookie (great), fruit pastry (great), flour less chocolate cookie (just OK) and two different cupcakes (just OK). Overall, the service is wonderful, the baked goods are great, and the prices are reasonable. The only thing I wouldnt get again is a cupcake - I wasnt a fan of the whipped cream frosting.

I have eaten here several times. Each time we eat, we end up ordering a second portion. The owner is Palestinian. He worked as a five star chef and now is the owner of this market that serves hot meals.The shwarma and falafels are authentic. They are the best in S. Florida. This is a humble establishment, no frills, no elegant design just exquisite food and authentic middle eastern products to take home.

I found hair embedded in my food. Avoid this place at all costs. The owner is a rude old man. I would rather starve then eat free food here. He has one price advertised but charges more and says that the old prices have changed. Thats called false advertising.

I LOVE this place! Friendly and cozy, like a real corner shop in Beirut or Ramallah or Jersusalem. Fabulous cheese bread and zatar bread- the herbs are so intensely flavorful. Best dolmas, pita, baba ghanoush, hummus, and they even have halal shwarma (lamb or chicken). I am kosher and would like to remind you kosher Jews out there that halal and kosher are the same- just that the prayers are in a different language! In some cases Halal is even more fastidious. So go to this place where Jews and Moslems mingle and chat happily all day long- we could solve peace in the Middle East if the talks were held in Middle East Best Food !

Very disappointed with this food place, the hygiene and presentation of the person attending this join is disgusting, The price advertised at the wood sign in parking lot is fake, the worst Gyro that I bought in my life for $10.95 and not $7.95 like it says in the sign. Stay Away

I have never met an owner so rude, when I politely ask for a platter plate, since I saw an user image on yelp having platter, he said goodbye and walked away from me, this is incomprehensible, even if they dont serve platter, no customer deserves to be treated this way.
