Kalamata was a wonderful dining experience. I had the steak, and it was cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. You could really taste the quality and care that went into preparing it. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. If you’re looking for delicious food and great hospitality, I highly recommend Kalamata. I’ll definitely be coming back, especially for that steak!

Home made Hommus, soft warm bread, tender skirt steak, tasty pilaf rice, perfectly cooked lamb chops, casual but romantic ambiance, and service is spectacular. Try both the baklava and the almond pudding. Complementary Turkish tea. Look no further this is the Med- restaurants you were looking for. The best in the city and reasonably priced for the area.

The food was great and our server Agustina was excellent. Very friendly and attentive. We got rained on and she made sure we were comfortable and got to finish our meals. They have a secret pickled cabbage it’s not on the menu but ask for it ;)

An oasis of flavor on Washington Avenue! This local gem has an outdoor eating area or go inside for cooler whitewashed walls and comfortable couches with pillows. There is also a nice bar area. Service is low key and pleasant. I started with the mezze plater. Creamy dips with fresh bread and vegetables. Tabbouli salad and delicious shakshuka. I had the mixed grill platter for my main, since I wanted to taste it all! The chicken, kefta and lamb kebabs were juicy and flavorful, accented with the dips from the appetizer. Lamb chop was cooked just right and the salad and rice completed the meal nicely. I saved the gyro and bread for back at my hotel and closed out the meal with a fantastic almond pudding. The waiter said we end every meal with turkish tea and it hit the spot! Dont miss this place when your in South Beach!

Still savoring the memories from Kalamata Mediterranean Cuisine, a spot that delivers a warm, authentic Eastern Mediterranean/Turkish experience right by South Pointe. Its location makes it ideal for a relaxed dinner after a sunset walk, and the ambiance leans into that cozy, family-style hospitality the region is known for. We kicked things off with a generous mezze spread, a highlight here and consistently praised in reviews. It included creamy hummus, eggplant-based dips like baba ghanoush, beetroot, yogurt spreads, and a pepper-eggplant mix, all paired with warm, fresh pita that kept coming out just right. Sipping Turkish tea in the Miami heat somehow worked perfectly, it was refreshing in its own way. For the main, I ordered the Iskender kebab, a comforting, flavorful dish of gyro-style meat over pita, finished with a light tomato sauce. We also tried Efes beer, a crisp Turkish pilsner that balanced the meal nicely. Despite us being a group of 10, Barış, our waiter, handled everything with impressive attention to detail, something many diners mention about the service here: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. To top it off, dessert was on the house—a creamy alm
