   The cuisine is dependably great here. Sit outdoors when the weather allows. A staple Miami Beach spot for us.

   Everything was perfect from our server, Kfir, to the food. Our 3rd or 3rh time dining there and the chef never fails to impress us with his perfectly seasoned food.

   Food was good, but overpriced. Ambiance is pretty good (indoor and outside seats), service is good (our waitress was really nice). I did notice that this place doesn’t pay much attention to details. I reserved through open table and made a note it was our 2nd wedding anniversary. I confirmed by email, by text and through the app and when we got there they just cleaned a random table. There was nothing reserved. Why the constant confirmation then? No point! And they didn’t even know we went to celebrate our anniversary. There was no effort whatsoever in making it special because (I guess) they didn’t even know. Had a much better experience at another restaurant where we celebrated our first anniversary.

   Amazing dinner…. Big recommendation here for anyone near Abba and who is ready for GREAT food. Martin (our server) was great as well, we’ll be asking for him from now on, when we dine there. Wonderful experience!

   So happy! Good food is almost impossible to find in Miami Beach, which makes Abbalé not just the best here but a true standout anywhere. The sublimely prepared Mediterranean / Telavivian dishes, lovely staff, and outstanding chef make it unforgettable. So happy we discovered this gem, can’t wait to return! Shout out to Mijery they are so lucky to have you, you made it an extra memorable evening!

   Simply outstanding Mediterranean cuisine with great service and atmosphere. The appetizer selection was wonderful so we ended up ordering 4 appetizers and 1 main for 2 of us and everything we had was fresh, well prepared, beautifully seasoned- fabulous.

    If you’re looking for an experience that makes you feel like part of the family, Abbale is the place to be! From the moment we walked in, the warmth and friendliness of everyone—from Manuel, the manager, to Martinique and AJ, our incredible waitstaff—was palpable. It was as if we were dining with old friends. Even the other patrons added to the lively, welcoming atmosphere, making our dinner feel more like a gathering of ten than just two! The service here is truly exceptional. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and the team prides itself on providing a seamless, enjoyable experience. As for the food—WOW! We started with the charred eggplant and the SHUK salad, both bursting with flavor, followed by the za’atar laffa bread that perfectly complemented the meal. The Moroccan fish in tomato sauce was absolutely divine, a true highlight of the evening. And don’t even get me started on dessert—the tahini soft serve ice cream was simply out of this world. I had such a fantastic time that I’ve already booked to come back for my birthday. If you’re looking for a place with impeccable food, incredible service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, Abbale should be at the top of your list!
