Vino Tinto

Oh my goodness! Where do I start? This place was absolutely, amazingly delicious. The atmosphere makes you feel welcomed and relaxed. The mixed grill was perfect. Especially the chicken. Perfectly done rice pilaf and side salad was made with fresh ingredients. You can tell!! Also, worth noting the men’s room was clean and cool. You can tell the staff really cares for this organization. Great job.

After being posted in the Middle East for years, my husband and I really enjoy Turkish food. I forgot our servers name, but she was from Ukraine. Honestly we didn’t expect this food to be that great, but we were impressed! We had the sampler for the spreads (appetizer) normally there is one I don’t like, but in this case, all of them were delicious. My husband ordered lamb chops but was brought out lamb kebob, so they took it back and made what he ordered. Lamb kabob was delicious, seasoned well and fell off the bone. I had Iskander, I wish the bread was more like it was overseas (more crunchy like a crouton soaked in seasoning and butter) but it was still really good, the tomato sauce was the only bit that was lacking. We were blown away with the food, so against my better judgement, even though we were full, we ordered Turkish tea, Turkish coffee and baklava. All 3 fell flat, this is the reason I deducted a star. Both the tea and coffee were not made fresh, they clearly had been sitting and over cooking in the pot. They both had a burnt taste from being over cooked. The baklava was most phillo dough with a lot of honey and tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for days. I would stay away from these personally, but the food overall was amazing!

There are so many restaurants in this area of south beach but this one sticks out for not being a seafood or Latin place that you’ve probably had a lot of already during your time in south florida. Ordering the mix grill lets you try a small serving all the meats plus a large side of salad and rice. The stars were the lamb chop and surprisingly the grilled chicken shish. The grilled octopus was tender and balanced with good acidity. The arugula salad underneath looks like a garnish but I ate the whole thing and loved it.

Clean, traditional yet modern Middle Eastern restaurant. Quite pricy however the food is so delicious, perfectly seasoned, and prepared that you don't mind splurging.
