Mutra

An unforgettable experience! The moment we walked into the restaurant, we were impressed by the beautiful design and warm atmosphere. The service was outstanding, friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about the food. The staff gave us excellent recommendations, and every dish was a burst of authentic Israeli flavors that truly sparked in our mouths. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We had such a great time and left already planning our next visit. Highly, highly recommended!

Mutra is AMAZING. The restaurant is an awesome atmosphere, the food is incredible and service was top notch. You can tell the chef and owner feel true passion about this food. I used to eat non kosher and now only kosher, and this is some of the best food I’ve had. Yemenite food is different from what I usually eat regardless, and from most kosher restaurants (like a steak house) and mutra does not disappoint. Whether you live in Miami or just visiting, it’s a must!

Dining at Mutra felt like stepping into my grandmother’s home—if my grandmother happened to be a world-class chef. From the moment we walked in, the space radiated warmth, care, and intention. The ambiance is immaculate—elegant yet comforting, with an atmosphere that invites you to relax, connect, and savor. But the real magic begins with the food. Without exaggeration, this was some of the best kosher cuisine I’ve ever had. Each dish was layered with flavor, memory, and heart. You could tell that every bite was crafted with purpose. Chef Raz, both the owner and mastermind behind the menu, is an absolute gem. Not only is he wildly talented, but he also took the time to come out, explain the dishes, and share his passion with us. He’s the kind of person who makes you feel like family from the very first hello. Mike and Jules were equally outstanding—attentive, kind, and incredibly professional. Every detail, down to the shape of the wine glasses and the texture of the cups, felt thought through and deliberate. This wasn’t just a dinner—it was an experience. A soulful, flavorful, memorable experience. Mutra is a gift to the kosher culinary world and to Miami at large. I can’t wait to return.

This meal changed the way I feel about food altogether. This was a living, breathing expression of beauty, culture, precision, and love — plated. You could taste the care, the history, the pride. The food wasn’t just delicious; it was transporting. I sat there genuinely in awe. Chef Raz? A genius!! Every plate felt like it was crafted just for me. Like he knew exactly what I didn’t even know I was craving. Every little detail in the design, the service, the rhythm of the night… it was superb. There is elegance in this place. Not the kind you see in overpriced fine dining rooms. The rare kind — the kind that comes from true talented individuals. I walked in hungry. I walked out grateful. Thank you Chef Raz and all the talented minds that created this gem.

So I went here for my birthday and wow. Chef Shabtai is very humble and personable. He really nailed it with naming it after his grandmother. You feel you’re in his grandmothers kitchen with the ambiance and designing. All I can say is she must’ve been an excellent teacher and, he, an excellent student. We ordered the tar tar, chicken liver, fish risotto, and eat the mountain (chicken). All A+. Shabtai even gave me a free glass of wine for my birthday. The ambiance is perfect. Unlike so many kosher places that push cocktail menus a whole page long because everyone knows that’s where a bulk of profit is, none of that was here, which is extremely respectful and preferable as he fully focuses on the food, and it shows. Prices are extremely reasonable as well. Last thing I’ll mention is as long as this place doesn’t go down the same rabbit hole of most kosher places of service declining, food quality declining, and prices increasing, Shabtai will be very successful and have a following. Mazal tov chef on your journey and can’t wait to come back soon!!

I cannot express enough, how good the food is and the service is exceptional. Highly recommended will be an understatement. If you want to eat like the chef cooked only for you the best food ever you come to MUTRA

We had a marvelous time at this new restaurant. The physical setting was gorgeous, the food absolutely incredible, the fresh farm to table ingredients delicious. The whole experience, with the open kitchen and excellent service was really a cut above. Highly recommend!!

A Culinary Gem in Bay Harbor – Mutra is a Must! I had the pleasure of dining at Mutra, a phenomenal kosher Israeli-style restaurant in Bay Harbor, and it completely blew me away. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm, stylish, and inviting—modern yet full of soul. The staff treated us like family. Attentive, genuine, and clearly passionate about what they do, they made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. The highlight? Chef Raz Shabtai himself. Not only is his food extraordinary—layered with bold, authentic flavors and perfectly executed—but he took the time to personally come to our table and walk us through the inspiration and process behind each plate. That level of care and connection is rare, and it made the meal feel even more special. Every bite reflected creativity, tradition, and heart. If you’re anywhere near Bay Harbor, do yourself a favor and experience Mutra. It’s more than a meal—it’s a memory.

Every single dish is an explosion of flavor and exotic spices. Ingredients couldn't be any fresher, with vegetables picked from the farm the same day, fish caught hours before it is served. Dishes are not your typical Israeli cuisine, but a fusion of middle eastern flavors, yet simply made with lots of lemon, and salt. The chef, Raz, uses only the freshest and best ingredients--and that is what makes this restaurant the absolute best. You can see Chef Raz takes pride in his food, and you'll find him behind the seated counter with his hands on every dish, making sure each plate is seasoned just right. Truly the best dining experience--food and ambiance were amazing! Very fun vibe in the restaurant, great music...feels like you're in Tel Aviv. Sit at the counter!

Do not dine here! They put nothing on the table complimentary before you receive your food and the bread is $30. Upon receiving our main, no one liked their food and we are party of 8. Totally overpriced and totally terrible. They put 5 spice on everything. Total disappointment. Do not bother and their prices are inflated.

Perfect Mother's Day dinner! The food was fantastic! Our waiter , Jules, was exceptional and helped us choose from the menu. We had an icy cold Sauvignon Blanc, lamb and chicken. Amazing sauces. So interesting to eat at the bar and watch all the happenings in the kitchen. We will definitely return soon.
