Where To Get Soft Serve In Miami

"This Israeli restaurant is close to—but not inside—the Aventura Mall. So it’s a great place to reward yourself with ice cream after surviving one of the city’s most chaotic parking garages. Abbalé is a proper restaurant (not an ice cream shop), but it’s also totally acceptable to just sit at the bar and order the tahini soft serve. It comes in a tall swirl, drizzled with date honey and topped with a little toupée of halvah fluff. It’s a little salty, very creamy, and so much more exciting than the cotton candy vending machine in the Aventura Mall." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen Aventura Review - Aventura - Miami - The Infatuation

"This Israeli restaurant is close to—but not inside—the Aventura Mall. So it’s a great place to steel yourself for one of the city’s most chaotic parking garages or unwind after swimming through hordes of mall teens. Abbalé has the neutral tones, wicker furniture, and prices of a beachside resort, but better food. Start with the incredibly creamy hummus or the tamarind-glazed crunchy cauliflower. The dinner menu is heavy on sharable grilled proteins like ribeye and whole fish. But the all-day menu casts a wider net of appeal with brunch dishes like shakshuka, sandwiches like lamb arayes, salads, and a few of the grilled entrees you’ll find during dinner. And the tahini soft serve for dessert is a good idea no matter when you’re here." - Ryan Pfeffer

Absolutely delicious! The photos don’t do the portion sizes justice—most dishes are large enough to share, which made it fun to sample what everyone at our table ordered. There were several vegetarian and vegan options, even for dessert—a great surprise. The Garlic Frena is a must if you love fresh bread. I had the roasted beets and fire-roasted carrots—both were fantastic, but the beets were so good I took the leftovers home for a midnight snack. They also offer fresh-squeezed juices and a wide range of dishes, from ribeye steak to vibrant vegan salads. Everything was beautifully presented and clearly made with care. Victoria was attentive, and the food came out faster than expected, even though everything is made fresh. Actually, every staff member we interacted with was warm and helpful. My only regret was not knowing how generous the portions would be—we over-ordered and couldn’t finish it all. Highly recommend, especially for foodies who appreciate fresh, high-quality ingredients!

This meal was so VIBRANT! I had seen a video about their desserts and decided this was a must. It didn't disappoint. From our lovely waitress, Alice (attentive, sweet, and funny) to the drinks, and then food. It was a knockout. Yes, it is expensive (worth every penny). Yes, you will want to share all the plates. Yes, you need more than one dessert. We had a little bit of everything. I can't decide what my favorite item was. Everything was so fresh and well put together. Beautiful presentation. The atmosphere was perfect. Ask about specials. I would recommend this place on a slower evening to get the best dining experience. I'll be back for round two very soon.

I recently did a corporate lunch event at Abbalé Aventura and I was extremely pleased with everything, from start to finish. Nicolle helped me with my event, from contract, menus, drink choices, you name it. Such amazing customer service from Nicolle and all the staff at Abbalé. I had originally booked the patio but the day of my event there was a lot of wind and I was very happy they moved us inside, the place looked so fantastic and super cute! The food was amazing, my guests loved it and they kept talking about how tasty the food was, two of my guests said they loved it so much they went back the next day to try different dishes. The drinks were also amazing and some of them were so unique such as the Smoke & Spice. The whole wait staff was awesome, friendly and attentive, they helped us timely with our drinks orders and serving the food. I totally loved the whole experience, thank you Nicolle and to all Abbalé staff for making my event such a memorable and amazing event!

I tried the Miami Spice Menu for $44.60 (tax and 18% service included), and it was totally worth it! Got an appetizer, entrée and dessert (no drinks), portions were just right, flavors were amazing, and the presentation was on point. Highly recommend!

A Culinary Delight at Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen-Aventura Abbalé is a must-visit! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is calm, inviting, and enticing all at once. The service is impeccable, with all the staff being amazing. It feels like one big happy family. We went for dinner and returned the very next day for brunch. It was that incredible. Scrumptious, to say the least. There isn't just one standout dish; everything we ate was beyond exceptional. It's hard to pick a favorite. From the crunchy cauliflower bites glazed in sticky, savory sweetness, to the Salatim trio of dips served with warm pita and Persian cucumbers dusted with sumac and salt—oh my goodness! The falafel was perfectly crisp on the outside and herbaceously fluffy on the inside. Then there was the Hamachi crudo and tuna tartar. The flavors and spices were exquisite. As if that weren't enough, we also had the burger! The frites were an added bonus, especially when dipped in the leftover Salatim trio. Lastly, but certainly not least, the Tahini ice cream is something I will return for over and over again. Shaved halvah adorned the top, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Creamy perfection. My fiancée favored the labneh cheesecake, which was better than words can describe. Perhaps the fact that he ate it at both dinner and after brunch is telling enough! Speaking of brunch, fast forward to the very next day. Of course, we got the Salatim trio again with warm pita and Persian cucumbers. This was followed by the delightful Halloumi and grapefruit salad to share. The Avo labneh toast was layers of flavor, from the perfectly toasted sourdough smeared with a thin coating of perfect labneh, topped with smashed avocado and other delectable flavors.

The atmosphere is beautiful with the olive trees and unique lighting. Great food. They can easily make most dishes gluten free. Everything we ordered we loved. The staff were attentive and helpful. I also got the cauliflower appetizer and falafel, both 10/10 (not pictured- they got eaten too quickly). The lamb kefta was nicely seasoned, the steak was cooked to perfection. And the tahini ice cream for desert was a must-try! It was such a unique twist on soft serve and we thought it was made with real ice cream :O!!! All of the dishes were spectacular, the seasonings and flavor combinations are perfect perfection. It’s a long drive to come to this restaurant, and I look forward to it every time.

Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere envelops you in a warm and inviting vibe that perfectly complements the culinary experience. The decor is stylish yet comfortable, creating a perfect backdrop for a delightful meal. The food is nothing short of exceptional. Every dish I tried was fresh and bursting with flavor, showcasing the high quality of the ingredients used. The falafel is easily the best I’ve ever had! It's clear that a lot of thought and care goes into each plate, making every bite a joy. Whether you're a fan of traditional dishes or looking to try something new, there's something for everyone. The service is equally impressive, our server Alexandra was amazing! The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making sure that every aspect of your dining experience is top-notch. They genuinely seem to care about your satisfaction, which adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I absolutely love this place and can't recommend it enough!

Stopped by here for lunch today. It's close to the Brightline Train. It's best to share at Israeli restaurants like this. To start, we ordered the bubbly Za'atar Laffa bread with tahini hummus--a nice crunch to pick up the creamy hummus. We shared the Halloumi cheese and grapefruit salad, with red cabbage, kale, cucumber, and radishes, was a surprising combination that worked beautifully. Other Sides included falafel balls perched atop hummus, artfully arranged to resemble a flower, and roasted cauliflower. Vegans will find plenty to enjoy from the menu. (This is not a kosher restaurant.) At a neighboring table, a burger caught my attention, looking utterly drool-worthy. Cocktails were creative, albeit pricey, especially for the portion size, running $18 to $20 per glass. The pièce de résistance was the dessert: Tahini Soft Serve 'ice cream' topped with shaved halvah and drizzled with date honey, with a crunchy orange zest roll. The flavor combination was next-level. While the unassuming strip mall exterior may not impress, stepping inside reveals a nice ambiance enhanced by Israeli music playing through the sound system, transporting me to Tel Aviv. Abbalei is a must-visit for those craving authentic Israeli flavors.

I have only ordered via Uber eats but it's been consistent each time and it is so fresh and delicious!! They also have BOGO on Uber eats as well. I've had the tahini platter and chicken schnitzel and the pairings in the dish go fantastic together and the chicken has been prepared just right with crispy breading. The fresh pickled vegetables and salad with green tahini dressing is so refreshing! I would highly recommend and would love to try the restaurant as well as the ambiance looks beautiful.

Went before a movie and the waitress was so sweet, she quickly placed our order and made sure the food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was tasty and worth coming back for. I quickly sent the photos to my mom and made a reservation for her to come with my aunt the next day. The moroccan fish with the couscous made me feeling like i was eating at my childhood best friends house whose mom is moroccan!!! its insane how well these dishes are made and how quickly they get to the table. The portions are perfect to share! Im so excited to be back, definitely a hit.

It was a great experience. It's definitely a restaurant if you want to really treat yourself. The decor was so nice, servers especially Nicole very attentive & of course food absolutely delicious. Just a little advice be careful with the "add ons" even with the Miami Spice Menu. It can turn out pretty pricy...'seriously'.

Beautiful decor and great menu. We went for Father's Day and we were seated in a little private room which was wonderful. We had our 90 year old mom and 1 year old baby. This worked out great and the server was amazing / she seemed like she was starting in a Broadway production and explained every detail. We tried almost every appetizer and shared a prime rib and a chicken and a bronzino entree. Desserts looked incredible but we had no room to try. Everyone at our table of 8 was very pleased. Highly recommend.

My son took us to celebrate my birthday to this amazing Resturant . Incredible pickled cauliflower and carrots on the table as a teaser . We started off with this amazing crispy cauliflower appetizer that disappeared before I could take a picture also with the pita with these 3 different types of spreads that were fantastic also no picture :( but I did take pictures of this amazing kale salad with haloomi cheese and grapefruits and nuts that went perfectly with the skirt steak and fries , this place is a notch above Motek ! Bye the way it was Birthday

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened years ago in Sobe. Finally the time has came and I visited their Aventura location which I loved because you have plenty of parking available. We made a reservation and I recommend to always make reservations, especially during brunch time or dinners. We were sit right away and our server, Alysa came to introduce herself. She was so nice and sweet, a really good vibe! I started with a glass of the Vermintino wine and it was so refreshing and dry. My friend ordered their frozen limonana and she loved it. I really liked that their cocktails could be mocktails upon request and the fact that they have a full bar was great! Honestly, this place was so cute! It definitely takes you out of miami. We were starving so we were directly for the entrees, I ordered the Falafel Pita, which came with the nosy delicious Za'atar French fries. Now, it was plenty for one person because each half of the most delicious pita bread I have had in a while was pretty big with 3 falafel pieces inside, hummus and pickled cabbage. Those two pieces plus plenty of frenech fries to share and a little pickled veggies salad. I only ate half of sandwich and the fries which was even sharing with my friend, I had still plenty to go. My friend ordered the Shakshuka and it was a cast iron pan full of tomate based sauce with herbs and 2 poached eggs plus a mini challah bread (which was the cutest baby challah ever!). She loved the shakshuka! We then ordered the dessert, the famous Tahini Soft Serve which was creamy, not overly sweet and the best of the best! To balance the sweetness we also had some of their tea. I ordered the Moroccan Mint Tea, so refreshing! And my friend the Rose Petal Tea. I thought it was a cup of tea but they actually serve you a little tea pot which one would have been perfect to share! The tea comes with the most delicious sesame little cookie. The whole experience was amazing, beautiful place, delicious food, amazing service, I'll definitely come back!

When you first walk in,you are taken back by the light, airy, and beautiful ambiance of the restaurant. Our server was very friendly and provided us with her favorite items on the menu. The kale salad was very light, refreshing, and filling. But the star of our meal was the Keylime sorbet, it was so tart and had just the right amount of sweetness.

Delicious Mediterranean cuisine with fresh ingredients. Gotta recommend the Falafel and crunchy Cauliflower, creative cocktails from Julianna and amazing happy hour with unbeatable prices. Trendy beachy ambiance, good for a special occasion and double recommended for date night. Service is top notch from the moment you make your reservation, when Kelly takes your order, while one of their chefs checks up on you till you get the bill... Always consistent and delicious.

One of the most stunning restaurants I've ever been to and amazing service. Abbalé opened its second location in Aventura, with its first being in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood. This one is larger and has a full bar. There's outdoor and indoor dining, a private room, and plenty of parking. I went for brunch and loved the halloumi and grapefruit salad especially. You must try the tahini soft serve!

Ricky D.

Yelp
I really liked this restaurant and just about everything I tried was very good. Service was excellent and the dining room is comfortable and nicely decorated. The seasoned cauliflower to start was very good and the pita bread was addictive and perfect for the trio of dips we ordered. I was with friends and we tried and sampled quite a few different items but one nice surprise was the Sumac Chicken Shashlik which is like chicken kebabs and often with kebabs the chicken can be tasteless, overcooked and dried but these were just the opposite and were among the best I've had. A Kibbeh appetizer was fine but I've had better. Two bottles of wine were good but what always irks me is when I order soda and it's in a can (or bottle) and refills are not included. Feeling gluttonous I had two soft serve desserts and both were unique and very good.

Ordered pick up for lunch via Ubereats and ordered the Chicken Shashlik. Located in a plaza near the mall so there was plenty of parking. I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and the perfect IG worthy spot to go to. I would love to try eating at the restaurant next time and there is also an outdoor area. Even though my order was to go the food was beautifully presented in the to go container. The veggies included in the dish were fresh and tasty. The chicken and hummus was delicious and not too overly salty. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the price point is rather high. My plate was $26 and the portion was pretty small so just be aware if you order from here that most dishes will cost you over $25.

Abbalé's stunning atmosphere and delicious food make it a standout in Aventura. The drinks are both visually stunning and tantalizingly tasty. However, our experience was marred by a surprising and disappointing charge to add onion on a burger - $7!!!! As frequent diners at high-end establishments, we've never encountered such a fee. While the food and ambiance shine, this unexpected charge leaves a sour taste. Not even a bag of organic onions is $7 lol 3 stars, with hopes for a more guest-friendly policy in the future.

Oh WOW! Everything at this restaurant was perfection. The flavors and the spices in the food and the salads and appetizers are to die for! And this was made even better by the service. We had an amazing waiter who took such a good care of us. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended a fabulous hummus and halloumi salad as appetizers. He was super friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. We will definitely be back.

This restaurant is amazing across the board. The food was outstanding- it was fresh, flavorful, and colorful. They also had some yummy juices and their Bloody Mary is the best I've ever tried, without exaggeration. The service was also phenomenal. Alice and Jessica were so attentive, kind, and personable- same for everyone else that was there, I just didn't get their names. This place is also sooooo beautifully decorated! There's a lot of foliage and they have a very nice private room for parties. Honestly 10/10.

The food here is amazing. I've been to the south beach location but this was my first time at the aventura location. This location is more low key and children friendly than south beach location. The service was impeccable and the food delicious. Got the eggplant appetizer, chummus, and crispy cauliflower and all were delicious. For entree had the branzino, which was like butter and the flat iron steak which was cooked perfectly. Can't wait to come again.

Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen in Aventura impresses with its expansive and beautifully designed interior and exterior, surpassing its South Beach counterpart. The outdoor seating, though well-decorated, offers a view of the parking lot due to its location in one of the Aventura plazas The salads and starters are all delicious. However the entrées are not as good and outrageously expensive. The lamb chops $125 and just ok. The burger $29 and a steak for two $175 If your looking for an upscale Mediterranean restaurant, this is a good place to start. If you're looking for an Israeli style restaurant in Aventura neighborhood. There are plenty to choose from, but not as fancy. However half the price.. They have plenty of free parking/ in a shopping plaza.

Giving this 4 stars until I go back and try the food. We did get to sample the chips and caviar which were yummy. Friends of ours ordered the dips and said they were fantastic. We got drinks and the bartender was attentive and swift. The wait staff was very accommodating of our large group & it was a really cute and vibe-y spot to enjoy good conversation with friends. I will be going back for drinks bcuz I ordered the Mediterranean Glow and it was delicious. So refreshing and satisfying. Hubs ordered the Café Martini and he enjoyed it. I wasn't particularly in the mood for an espresso martini but it was very rich. Only downside I'll say is that a friend ordered the branzino and said it fell flat and was not memorable which is too bad bcuz it's a somewhat pricey item. I will be back tho. Very curious if they have a happy hour bcuz it would bring me back even sooner

This was such a beautiful restaurant, the decor was very earthy/ Mediterranean. The service was amazing, we were served by a very friendly and accommodating bartender for lunch. The meal started off with these fresh pickled veggies we had to get second of. All of the appetizers were out of this world but the Crunchy Cauliflower stole the show! The ceviche was very fresh and had pomegranate seeds which was nice. The lamb was delish and came with a few different sauces for dipping. 10/10 will need to go back to try out more of the menu!

Spectacular! I came for a birthday celebration and the moment you walk in you are transported to another place the decor is stunning and you feel like you are dining al fresco even when inside. I was so happy they gave me a birthday card at the table which was such a nice touch! The staff was so lovely and helpful with the menu. We got the falafel and the Salatim Trio and substituted the labneh for hummus which the kitchen made an exception because I am vegan. There are so many vegan options in the menu. The food was amazing and even though they were small plates we were full. The home run was the tahini ice cream (halva). It was one of my favorite desserts I have ever had. My friends who are not vegan had low expectations of the dairy free ice cream but they were also blown away by the dessert. I'm coming back for more

Delicious Mediterranean fusion cuisine! Warmly greeted and taken care of by a bevy of hospitable staff. Lovely atmosphere. Nice music. The vibe is perfect. Enjoyed Abbalé's Prime Burger. Perfectly executed with crispy, hot za'atar fries. Yum. And their secret sauce, too. Plus, the Coconut Malabi dessert was coconut-y creamy with kaffir lime/pomegranate/mint that delivered a pop of flavors on the palette. Delicious. Lastly, a big shout out to the frozen Limonata Mint mocktail! Reallly good all around.

I am so happy they opened this restaurant in Aventura. The food is amazing started out with the hummus with fresh baked hot pita bread and the chopped salad, which was cucumber, tomato and red pepper with tahini on top, which was amazing. Then, for my entrée I had Branzino that was cooked perfectly with a side of couscous, the atmosphere is amazing sitting outside is super nice. They did an amazing job with this restaurant and it is going to be an outstanding hit for this area.

On my second visit to Abbale Televivan, my experience left much to be desired. Notably, the menu featured hearts next to certain "favorite" dishes, a promising touch that ultimately fell short in execution. For example, I ordered the Prime Burger, which the server inquired about my preferred doneness--yet, despite my response, it arrived very well done, reminiscent of a subpar beach club offering. This disappointment was compounded by a 25-minute wait for our food in a conspicuously empty restaurant, which puzzled us given the lack of other patrons. Further adding to our frustration, after ordering, I moved to sit next to my guest on the same side of the booth. We spent the next 25 minutes there, clearly indicating our preference to dine side-by-side. However, when our food finally arrived and I formally requested that our tables be combined to continue as we were, the server's response was baffling: she needed to check with the hostess--an unnecessary step in what was clearly an empty dining area. It felt almost like a prank when she returned to suggest that a large party might be arriving soon--a highly unlikely scenario. By the time she returned, I had resigned myself to my original seat, eager to just eat and leave. The poor quality of the food only intensified the irritation of the overall experience. In a moment where decent service or dining could have salvaged the visit, everything seemed to add insult to injury. I left with a firm decision to not return, especially given the wealth of better dining options now available in Aventura. There's simply no reason to waste time and money at Abbale Televivan. Unobtrusive service, something evidently not trained at this establishment, could have made a difference.

Be advised of certain things before you. The food is actually very good and it's a nice atmosphere. However, look out for the following: -18% service charge on every bill. Apparently, this isn't a tip or at least they don't call it a tip. When you pay, they ask for an additional tip starting at 3%. - Make you ask for tap water. They will bring bottles of water that are $6 each. We asked for one and they brought out two. Charged for both. - We ordered one Hummus appetizer and that was the only app we ordered. For some reason they brought out two other apps which we assumed was part of the lunches we ordered. Wrong, was charged for the two apps we did not order. Definitely be advised that the server has an incentive to get the bill as high as possible with a mandatory 18% always added. Be careful and tell them exactly what you want, be sure. Food is very good, just be mindful of their business practices.

Good experience overall. Crispy cauliflower and pan roasted halloumi are great starters. Burger was good but not spectacular, sauce was the best part. Pomegranate chicken is tender and a big dish. Brownie is best dessert. Service is a bit slow and would disappear for a while

There wasn't a portion of the meal that disappointed. From beginning to the end the food was as good as it's original location. A must for anyone looking for great Israeli style food.

The new aventura area restaurant was beautiful inside and out. The food was amazing. Will definitely go back there again

Nice atmosphere. The service was good. The food was nothing special. Very overpriced for what you get. I'll stick with my local Israeli restaurants in the future.

I am so happy a closer location opened. I hope fort lauderdale is next! Such beautiful ambience, from the olive trees inside to the cute outdoor seating area. It was cold outside and they had blankets for anyone that needed it (though I'm not so sure if they were washed because they were stained and some sesame seeds on mine which was a little gross...) Other than that, food is always amazing. Branzino, lamb sandwiches with zaatar fries, laffa bread all 5/5. Shakshuka was a little underwhelming and lacked some seasoning. Service was great. The waiter was pretty attentive and never missing for extended periods of time. Overall, aside from the things noted, it's still one of my top restaurants.

Excessively expensive, there are options that are just as good but much cheaper. It is a restaurant that does not have good service. Our experience the day we went there was not so pleasant. The atmosphere and decoration is very nice.

I came with my GF for Valentine's and we had a great experience. The food was delicious (we had the branzino, the cauliflower appetizer and the falafel. Then, we had some cocktails at the bar and I can't recommend this place enough. Finally, and the best part of was the staff, they were all friendly and did an amazing job.

If you measure a location on ambiance alone, this restaurant would have 5 stars. Unfortunately, that is the only area I would rate five stars. The food, drink, and service are 2.5 at best. After having had a reservation, we waited an additional 45 min after our scheduled time (even though we checked in 15 min earlier). We figured no problem, we would order pre dinner cocktails at the bar. Service was slow and the drinks, mediocre. They were not bad, but were not worth the cost. This seemed to be the theme for the rest of the evening. When our table was finally ready, there was an argument between the bartender and hostess of whether or not this could be done. The back and forth between the staff was uncomfortable to say the least. Once sat, our waiter pressured us to put in our entire order at once which with certain kitchens I understand, but the communication was not clear, it just seemed rushed. Which you can understand our surprise when a hummus trio appetizer took over an hour to arrive. All in all the food was not worth the cost. The service did not meet average standards at best. While the location is beautiful, we would not recommend. If you try, hopefully your experience is better.

Great date spot. My wife and I came to the bar and had amazing service from Wil. He recommended the charred cauliflower and local fish ceviche. Outstanding. Then we had the flank steak, broccolini and fries. Delicious. Overall I would give this a 10/10 experience. Can't recommend it more!

second visit was very disappointing! We specifically asked for a main course we liked before- lamb kufta and were told it was only available for lunch. We were upset and had to take prime steaks! - almost the worst we had ever tried- chewy and super salty. The quality of meat is also questionable. We mentioned this the the manager and were told to come back for lunch. On the way out we saw people eating lamb kufta- meal we requested!!! it was a waste of money and a very disappointing experience!

Very nice seating inside and out with a great atmosphere. Service was very good as I was able to get everything I had asked for in a timely manner. Dishes were very delicious and were great if you love Mediterranean dishes. Menu is limited and that is the reason for the 4 star review 100% recommend trying the place as it is a great bang for your buck.

First time eating Abbale's food and I must say it was absolutely delicious. I was not able to dine at the restaurant as I was dog sitting and had the food delivered with Uber Eats. Beautiful presentation and delicious food. I ordered the chicken schnitzel that came with salad, hummus, and couscous. Yummy.
