Odaly's Delight Café

OMG I’m in love with this place!!!! I’m from Philly, Me and my best friend had breakfast but not really lol, I end up getting an entree of shrimp creole with rice and sweet plantains and she got salmon with mash potatoes and omg it’s amazing!!!! Not to mention love their Orange Juice

This is another review much overdue but I have been a long time fan of Odaly's since it’s one of the best Cuban diners/hidden gems in Miami! First off, I love the croquetas here that are significantly better than other local spots in the area. Order them and try them, you’ll see exactly what I mean. They’re are much creamier than most and I love the breading they use for them. If you’re a croqueta lover like me then you won’t mind having a couple croquetas and then ordering yourself a CROQUETA BURGER. That’s right! I had never seen one on a menu before so knew I had to try it, and yes, it lives up to all the glorious expectations you have. For the great price of $5 its served on a toasty bun with a house mayo sauce and papitas fritas---all complimenting the large croqueta patty. The patty’s exterior was nice and crispy but the middle wasn’t at al too soft or mushy like you might expect. I would definitely recommend trying it especially since I have no idea who else is making this genius idea! I also came on Ox-Tail day which is always a personal favorite so had to order that. Served Cuban style with green olives and red peppers, it was delicious! The perfect amount of saltiness and fattiness in the juice that I ate alongside my rice. Eating it really made me think it’d taste exactly as it would if I ordered it in Cuban---the crazy thoughts I think while eating, but it was that good. The ox-tail came with two sides so I had moros (mixed rice and black beans) and tostones (fried plantains). The tostones were wonderful and larger than my hand which was a nice side. The only thing that lacked in my meal was the moros which were way too dry for my taste and a bit grainy, maybe I just caught them on a bad day for that one. Definitely, won’t stop me from being a customer here especially since the customer service here is always so friendly and everyone makes you feel like family. Love that, love them, definitely worth checking out!

Definitely a hidden gem! It's in a strip mall, in the back. A regular storefront, but WOW! Once you step in you're in a whole difficult place. Decorations are very tasteful, the wall has some super funny "Cuban sayings". The staff is so welcoming and nice. The owners are the chef I believe and his wife is so nice and attentive. The food, was amazing, we had the black paella which was so delicious. We had some croquetas mixtas which were amazing as well. Definitely coming back here to try the amazing selections on the menu. Don't hesitate to try this place, Thank me later.

Great spot for lunch or a quick meal. The ham croquetas are great! Media noche was delicious and the service was on point. Ask for the yellow dipping sauce for the croquetas! Elevated them to that yum yum level.

This is the best catering business there is! The food is to die for. The presentation is beautiful! The professionalism of the chef and his staff are exceptional! You must try!!!!!

Very cute place we walked upon for coffee and pastries

I have worked in the hospitality industry for over a decade and found few people like Hiram to work with! In the past few years, I have used his catering services for work and personal events; it is a pleasure to work with him. To begin with, the food from Odaly’s Cafe is EXCELLENT. Quality ingredients, fantastic flavor, everything tastes fresh. Every time I hire him for an event, everyone is amazed by the quality of the food, which is not something you often find in catered food. Then comes the piece of how reliable this business is…. always responsive, always on time. Hiram goes out of his way to make his clients happy, work with your budget, and work around your needs. I can’t recommend him, his catering services and restaurant enough! 5+!

Odaly’s Delight Cafe This is a hidden gem in Westchester that serves authentic Cuban food. The croquetas and the cheese tequeño with green sauce were delicious, and the garbanzo soup was great. My brother ordered the Monster Burger and he really liked it. The burger comes in a pretzel bun topped with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar, and their homemade sauce. Be sure to try the “disco volador de guayaba y queso”, a Cuban classic that you don’t find everywhere in Miami. With exceptional service and a diverse menu, I highly recommend Odaly’s Delight Cafe. Here are some pictures, including one with Chef Hiram! PS: they open Monday - Friday business hours, and they do excellent catering!!! Go follow me on instagram @hungryalexandro for food reviews and recommendations.

Cuban culture infuses Miami's dining scene, meaning there's a stiff competition among Cuban restaurants, and here at Odaly's they will leave you satisfied and wanting more of Chef Hiram's delicioso meals! Believe me when I say Odaly's is a hidden gem. It may look like your average neighborhood Cuban food, but Odaly's Delight Café is anything but! Upon walking in, I was greeted as if I was family. After hearing great things from family members and even seeing photos on Instagram of their Monster Burger and Cuban Lasagna (we will touch base on this soon!), I was thrilled to get a taste of Chef Hiram's creations for myself. My family and I were taken care of by Leticia, Chef Hiram's sister. She is such a radiant, attentive, and knowledgeable waitress! The customer service here at Odaly's was incomparable, as everyone is warm and hospitable. Chef Hiram and his staff make you feel comfortable and treat their customers like gold. As for the food, it was heavenly and homey! Trying Chef Hiram's food gave me the same feeling you would get from playing dominoes on a Sunday morning and winning. + Cuban Lasagna Juicy ropa vieja, topped with arroz congri (Cuban rice and black beans), platanitos maduro (sweet plantains), and two slices of fresh avocado. This "Cuban lasagna" was perfectly curated. The meat was succulent, the rice was flavorful, and the sweet plantains were a perfect touch of something sweet to tie it on in. Don't let me forget the avocado slices! Who doesn't love avocado?? +Papita Sucia Fries topped with Chef Hiram's unique monster sauce and slices of sausage! Indulgent, but a must-try! +Pan con Lechon Let me just say this... After taking a bite of this sandwich, I must have reincarnated into Celia Cruz because my initial reaction was to yell "Azuuuuucar!" *IMPORTANT* TRY THE PAN CON LECHON! IT IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. Trust me, I'm Cuban! I will be back for this. Fun fact! The bread Chef Hiram uses for his pan con lechon is from a nearby bakery. Yum! +Croquetas Béchamel and Ham. Who can go wrong? They're pillowy and light. Definitely in my Top 3 Best Croqueta list. +Sangria Thank you Chef Hiram and Leticia! The sangria was light and refreshing! If you can only eat one meal in Miami, come to Odaly's and try this authentic Cuban food made with love. It's a delicacy!

I was my the dr office I seen they go here I got a caffe con leche and a tostada very cute place and clean the attendant was very nice

Stopped by on a Saturday night and called our friends to join us. What a gem, hidden in plain sight. Fridays and Saturdays they have live music and are open for dinner. Chef came out and provided his recommendations which were all tasty and different. Can't wait to go back.

Great little place just off 24street and 97ave South West. A hidden gem, food was fantastic, and the place was clean and awesome. The service was excellent. Love this place...

Absolutely obsessed with Odalys Delight. My family has been a loyal customer of their catering for years, that's how consistently delicious the food is. We went to the cafe to check out the new Friday-Saturday evening tapas experience and wow. We loved all the items we tried (ham croquettes, frituras de bacalao, vaca frita tostones, special charcuterie board, short rib empanadas, ceviche, paella, ca'selva Prosecco, alvariño wine, crema catalana, and guava cheesecake). Hiram, the owner, is an absolute delight (no pun intended lol) and you can really tell he's so passionate about what he does. Can't wait to come back again a little later to enjoy the live music.

Food was amazing! My top two items that we ordered were the goat cheese croquetas and the pork belly tacos. Service was great! Waitress was always making sure we were taken care of. Chef / owner came out to the tables. Ambiance was fun, they have live music. Can't wait to go back and try different menu items.

Awesome service, great food, and nice atmosphere!!! Even my super, super, super critical Dad asked for a repeat visit for his birthday- calling ahead for a paella was his favorite thing!

I can't understand why some restaurants apply taxes, plus service charges, plus tips... when you get the check, the meal becomes in a very expensive dinner

This little hidden Westchester gem is a must try. Do yourself a favor and check this little Cuban restaurant out. Order their croquetas! Wow! Underrated! These house croquetas are just fire. The food here is made with love. They have a little bit of everything. The burgers are good too. I've had their monster burger at south Florida burger events and it's delicious. This is a family owned business. Come out and support them. They have tables or counter space. By the way the croquetas are done to order. Freshly made once you order. I have to try their "beach box". It's a giant box with a little bit of everything. It's good for the beach or to take to parties or to take to the park. Plenty of parking available near the restaurant. This place is located in the same shopping center as A Mari-Mix Mexican restaurant here in the heart of Westchester. Will keep coming here for the croquetas and cafe. Everything on their menu is good. Need to try the Disco Volador.

This place does not have turkey.. I asked the lady for an omelet and she told me no without offering anything else so I left..

Tasty food. Great hospitality and customer service from the staff. Love this place. We had their famous Monster Burger, fried pork chunks and croquetas...all were delicious. Flan was homemade.

Update 1/16/2019 Great start to the New Year dining at one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. Odaly's Delight Cafe Pop Up, I have said it once, will say it again Odaly's Cafe is a hidden gem that few have discovered in Westchester! Do not let the 3 star rating fool you, its skewed by two reviews by Martians who may not like authentic Cuban food or possibly where expecting a white glove treatment at a little cafe. I have dined here over 4 times and the food and service has always been 5 stars! Take my word for it, try Odaly's you will enjoy good service and good fun. Do not come expecting a plethora of menu items but what they do serve is fresh and authentic Cuban with a touch of fusion. Their hours vary and are only open M-F for now. A little birdie told me they may expand to evening and weekend hours in the weeks ahead. 10/6/2018 Back at Odaly's Delight, as previously stated Chef Hiram only opens select Saturdays every month.I wait anxiously waiting for notice of his Saturday opening and menu. I am willing to drive from Weston to Westchester to experience his food. Yes I used experience because the moment you walk in your are greeted by Leticia as if you were family, your experience begins with the warm greeting and the genuine " bien venidos" Today was no exception, chef Hiram came out to greet us and we ordered the Rabo Encendió (Oxtail) and my son had the Monster Burger with a twist. Now most places would get upset if you touch one of their creations but not chef Hiram. My son ordered the burger with crispy pork skin on top of the patty. My oxtail was the best I recall every having, it was melt in your mouth tender and not spicy hot. The tostones were good fresh and made to order, no heat lamp limp tostones served at Odaly's!!!! The burger lived up to the hype as one of the top burgers in Miami and with the addition of the crispy pork skin it was elevated to supreme goodness. Leticia's service and hospitality makes you wish every day was cheat Saturday. Chef Hiram and Leticia yet another fantastic meal experience at Odaly's see you on the next Odaly's Saturday Open House.

The food was delicious. My family and i were beyond happy with ordering to go for our mothers day lunch. The food tasted homemade, the arroz campesino came with a lot of meat.. everything from the salad to the maduros were delicious. We feel happy and confident knowing theres a place we can cater from now thats delicious and tastes homemade.

I am impressed, Odaly's Delight Cafe was simply amazing. It's kind of the perfect location. Magnificent food, Monster Burger was incredible without a doubt. This Monster Burger was prepared just perfectly. People working there are always so courteous. I can't say enough, but I think I have.

Really disappointed with my experience here. I've been trying to go for the past year when I come to visit town. Understandably, service hours have been reduced because of covid but the last 4 times I've attempted to go, the restaurant is already closed or they're about to close, even though their updated hours says 4pm or Instagram says otherwise. Today I go at 2pm to sit inside and the woman behind the counter was not welcoming at all and saying the store was closing soon and they had few menus items. No pizza, no discos, no chicharrones. We got the vaca frita sandwich which in theory sounds great, but the sandwich was barely pressed, the cheese still cold and the onions were barely cooked. We asked for the papitas locas and req for the pink sauce on the side and she said she couldn't do it...which is extremely strange since I don't see how if the fries are made to order. We barely finished the sandwich and she yelled across the bar the bill amount.

Awesome local spot. Their croquetas are excellent on par with Isla Canarias. Try their pizza too . Unique flavors . Love this place.

Wow, Odaly's Delight Cafe was actually remarkable. The ambiance is also amazing. The menu is really good, lots of excellent choices, I had to go with Pan Con Lechon, and it was wonderful. The team is extremely friendly also. If you haven't tried this place, definitely do.

For years I have been looking for the best taste "Cortadito" I can say I finally found at Odalys Cafe. This family own restaurant/cafeteria is the best kept secret of Westchester. Un menú exquisito y catering second to none. I'll be coming back soon.

Hidden Gem, food was awesome. Breakfast of champions for the people. The service was family friendly. A gem in the wall I must say. Will definitely return when in the area.

Hiram is a great Cher! Odaly's Cafe did our corporate Xmas lunch and associate recognition breakfast. Both events where outstanding! Food was delicious and he is a true professional! Pay this Chef a visit you will be love his food. Thank Hiram for making our staff happy and with full stomachs!

As a proud Cuban and extreme fan of a good croqueta I give Odaly's Delight The make you feel at home! The food presentation is amazing, the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff is outstanding! The food is to die for! The Monster burger is out of this world, juicy, well cooked with a mixture of flavors that cannot be described. The ox tail (rabo encendido) is as good as it looks! Definitely coming back!!!

The service was average. To begin with I ordered a tequeno with cheese, which it was acid literally acid. I told the writer and she said, she'd tried it before and have also felt it acid. My friend ordered coquettes and could not eat them, they tasted like old oil. The rabo encendido was good but the side French fries were greasy and disgusting. Horrible experience. El servicio fue average. Para empezar pedí un tequeno(dedito se queso) y estaba ácido, se lo comenté a la mesera y me dijo que si que a veces ella lo comía y también estaba ácido. Mi amiga pidió dos croquetas y no se las pudo comer de lo malas que estaban. Pedí un rabo encendido con arroz blanco y pepitas fritas. El rabo estaba rico pero las papitas estaban horribles, se veía que la grasa con la que las frieron era una grasa vieja. Terrible experiencia.

Guys I just ordered the stuffed turkey with jam and cheese and the sweet ham for thanksgiving dinner. Everybody was crazy about it. The presentation was great. But best of all the flavor, the turkey was cooked to perfection, it wasn't dry at all on the contrary it was moist tender and delicious. The ham was incredible and the pineapple slices on top of it gave it an awesome taste as well. They do all kinds of catering but if you ever in the area of Coral Way and 97th Ave. I do recommend you to pass by and try anything on the menu. You won't regret it. Enjoy!

Hidden gem in Miami! Excellent food and service. Delicious flavors. I highly recommend this place!

I am originally from Cuba. I have lived in Miami my entire life therefore I know what good Cuban bakery means. I've never had such disgusting croquettes or tequenos. They tasted acid and old fat. Never again, I still smell like grease and I have a horrible taste in my mouth.

Excellent place to eat. The food is excellent and the burgers are awesome. The staff is very nice. I highly recommend this Cafe to everyone.

The food is amazing and service is great. Hiram is the best! We use their service for personal and business events. Food is always fresh, well presented and delicious! You don't have to worry about anything, Hiram will take care of everything. Highly recommended!

My husband and I have become huge fans of this cafe. The food is excellent and the croquetas are especially delicious. We are currently doing a food delivery service from here and you can tell you're eating incredibly fresh food and best of all with generous portions. We are incredibly grateful to have such awesome Cuban food only a couple of blocks away.

The best little cafe in Westchester! Great Cuban food at an even better price. They might have the best burger in town.

Excellent restaurant. Had the Oxtail on Wednesday and it was amazing. My co-worker ordered the monster burger and he said it was at the top of his list. Later ordered catering and the Ropa Vieja was very tasty and cooked to perfection. Chef Hiram is an amazing cook and and a very good host. A definite 10!

Okay customer service, but the food is on the lower end of nearby Cuban food, not many choices.. The Café is good but instead of calculating the total food cost any item on the menu is added together to the already set price. The bread is rarely fresh and the ingredients taste frozen

This little cafe is a hidden gem. Chef Hiram is a culinary genius. His attention to detail in the food he prepares is second to none. His mixed cuisine of Latin/American fair is a sight for the senses. From his "Monster Burger" to his daily specials,there is always something on the menu for all palates. Don't forget to stop by on Wednesday for the best "rabo encendido" in Miami. Come early though, because it doesn't last!!!
