Taula Fresh Cut Mediterranean Food

I’ve been going to Taula when two young chefs opened it. Loved their concept of fresh meats cooked on vertical spits! You had the choice of yummy options but their best were crispy potatoes! Then ownership changed but fortunately still kept recipes going for the options and sauces, thank goodness. However, when I went today, the options like Eggplant wasn’t available for the Mediterranean box but I wasn’t told. I looked at the list of options for Mediterranean box on the revolving screen and that’s how I discovered it. And list was different from printed menu copy. So, just be aware. They still give you tons of everything as well as chicken. Chicken and other meats were precooked in a heated container. There’s enough for two people for $17, not bad for Miami!

We loved this place so much, we came back for lunch the next morning! Ordered a bowl with spicy chicken and EVERYTHING they offered…and next day got beef which tasted amazing! The crispy potatoes and delicious sauce options make this bowl next level. Loved the atmosphere and the people inside were the sweetest and so helpful explaining everything. MASSIVE portion sizes, so come HUNGRY

We went here for dinner last night and ordered our food to go. The one person working couldn’t bother to get off his cell phone and say hello or anything. Whatever fine. I ordered the Milanesa that is advertised to come with an arugula salad. My boyfriend wanted a bowl with half chicken half beef. The man working said no because it would take too long for him to cook even though they didn’t close for another three hours. Ok that’s fine as well. He got double chicken. Nothing was wrong with my boyfriend’s order. But when I got home my milanesa wasn’t served on an arugula salad it was literally parsley the entire thing was parsley stem and all. Not finely chopped like chimichurri would be… just roughly cut parsley. If you don’t have arugula you should maybe just say that instead of giving someone something they didn’t pay for. My chicken milanesa wasn’t cooked properly and was raw chicken. The only part of my meal I could eat was the potatoes it came with. Definitely not with the $19 just to eat a couple pieces of potato.

I've been eating here since before the new ownership(2018)... And let me tell you the quality and freshness is still there. More upbeat then before.. I come for dinner most days and Eugenia has made it very pleasant for me and my wife. Very nice very friendly.

Okay guys, so if you haven't been here YOU NEED TO! Because everything is made fresh, there are a ton of healthy options, meat or alternatives, plenty of flavorful sauces, very large portions, AND the service is exceptional. Antonio treated us like royalty with our dine-in dinner tonight and he made the experience memorable - I will definitely be back and telling all my friends about this hidden gem 💎 I had the salad with beef and potatoes, my friend had the grilled chicken box. P.s the yellow and green sauces were SO GOOD 👍

We ordered the Mediterranean box and the Classic box. The food is so good and tasty! The crispy Potatoes were a highlight for me amidst all the textures. You get so much food that it’s very filling, so worth the money. However, disappointing that there is a 3% credit card fee that’s not explained.

This Vegan bowl was absolutely Delicious! Extremely flavorful, fresh, Delicious & nutritious! This was the best Mediterranean Bowl I have ever had! It was very clean inside, mice tasteful music playing in the background. They gave us a warm welcome, and excellent customer service! I highly recommend 10 out 10!

I came here for the first time very apprehensive and the food and service was amazing! I'm a vegan and I can't find good food everywhere here's really good food great service! I will definitely be going back you should come try it! As a vegan, they have amazing portions here too.

I just had one of the greatest Mediterranean meals in downtown Miami, at Taula on N. Miami Avenue. My fiancé and I were at the UM ER visiting family and hadn't eaten all day, and we were thrilled to learn Taula was nearby! Famished, we thoroughly enjoyed our Mediterranean and Classic Chicken Boxes. I can't remember the last time I've had such flavorful or tender chicken, or such a delicious Mediterranean meal overall. But most of all, the two men behind the counter--one perhaps the owner/chef, the other a younger but seemingly equally invested fellow--were both so kind, polite and exceedingly accommodating. We had a lovely late-night dinner and an exceptional meal. I'm sure anyone who is wise enough to visit Taula will experience the same!

Good spot for a tasty fast bite. I ordered the vegan boxes and had them add 4 falafel balls to it. Everything was tasty, especially the tabullah salad and pickled cabbage. The falafel were not traditional but tasted really good all same. Hummus was good but would've been happier with more of it. For $20 including tip, I got a very large portion of delicious food.

If you're looking for food that tastes extremely fresh and delicious, look no further! Taula hits different in all the best ways. Everything here is super healthy and tastes incredible. The service is fantastic, and the ambiance is super nice. Highly recommend them!

Complements to the chef! The prices are a little expensive but the portions are huge. My box lasted me 3 meals! The falafel was amazing, not too dry or dense. The turmeric sauce is delicious. I love the tabbouleh, it was super fresh. I only wish they had some olives and feta cheese, that would make it perfect. There are some unique light fixtures inside and several tables for indoor seating. Make sure you check in for the free cucumber lemonade- super delicious!

They charged me $7 for a very small container of hummus, I thought it was going to be a bigger portion!! WOW The menu was Hummus with Pita, they gave me a wrap, not Pita bread

Anytime I'm downtown, I always come here to eat! The flavors are so fresh and the portion is huge! One bowl can definitely be split for two people or just enjoy leftovers! Their spicy potatoes are my favorite!

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in town. It has a meat and three vibe. You pick you base, protein, veggies and toppings. Everything is delicious. The service is always nice and quick. Everything is fresh and well-prepared. Highly recommend! The prices are very affordable also.

My favorite Mediterranean food spot! The service is very fast and the ambiance is nice. I like taking it to go and the portion is great love it so much

100000/10! Stopped in after going to the Elev8tion gym next door, not once but TWO days in a row. That's how good this place is. They offer a 24 oz and 36oz bowl and the 36oz is a steal at around $16. This place is like a Mediterranean chipotle. Incredibly fresh, huge portions, the people are so kind, and lots of seating or you can take it to go. You can get rice, couscous, and/or fried potatoes as a base- all are fantastic options. They have vegetarian and meat options- the chicken (they have a spicy and non spicy version) is fantastic. My husband loved the beef- and they really load you up on meat. You don't walk out of their feeling shorted at all. Top it with pickled onions, tabouleh, and cucumber/tomato salad, hummus and or tzatziki and then a selection of their sauces. The lemon one that's yellow is stupid good. They have a ton of other options as well and even have wine and beer. They also give you a water cup and have bottled sodas, etc. Best place ever- MUST visit!!!

Stumbled upon this place while hanging with friends in Miami. Location seemed to be just a tad sketch, but nothing extreme! Giving this restaurant a four-star because they did a great job and the atmosphere was nice and clean. Unfortunately, I didn't have the flavor that everyone is talking about, I had to load my bowl with lots of sauces that they give you to add some impact to my meal. I did like the eco-friendly bowls, the presentation was great. The day that I went, there was only one staff member there. He was the one doing our check out, making our bowls and pretty much everything. I think it's always better with a partner in situations like this, so that if you drop the ball on something the other person can pick it up. My food was not warm by any means and I do like hot Mediterranean. I think it just taste better. Unfortunately, my all around wasn't a great experience but the food wasn't bad and it did fill me up. The portions were nice and large however I don't feel like it justifies $16 for a bowl feeding myself and my daughter had us almost at $40 with one drink, which is kind of outlandish for what takes on the look of a street food place. But I get it, inflation, living, wages, and all the other things we pay for, not the worst thing I've ever bought. Would visit again, but not in the near future.

Went in for a quick late lunch and was happy with my options. I built my own bowl with white rice, spicy potato bites, tomato cucumber salad, tabbouleh, tzatziki, beef kebab and turmeric garlic sauce. The server was super nice and helpful. The portions are great. Food tasted delicious, fresh, and hit the spot. Would definitely recommend to swing by here.

Great food, got the chicken wrap and beef wrap - both were huge and packed with lots of veggies and everything. Great service and location too!

We stopped in here for a bite while walking around the area. It was okay. Nothing super spectacular but nothing really to complain about either. The food tasted good, even though my only switch would be to see fresher options for the proteins and warmer toppings. The prices were also steep at $16+ for a fairly small bowl of food. We were happy to have some wine options which isn't always offered everywhere.

Lowkey spot. We were the only guests @9:15pm. They have beer & wine as well. Fresh salad & meat! One employee running the show and he did great. Very attentive. Would say it's on the pricier side but the portions make up for it! Would recommend to give them a try if you live in the area!!

Wow. Very impressed with place. The portions are very large. The price is equivalent to what you get. The food tastes great and the service is good too. Wish I knew about this place sooner.

Still come back to this place every time I'm in the area. Great portions and great food. Fyre box packs a nice spicy flavor and is my go-to. Their addition of the crispy potato wedges in their bowls sets this place apart from all other traditional mediterranean platters/bowls.

Excelente servicio, Amable y servicial. Muy buena comida. José Luis. Ricas empanadas. Nice and clean environment, excellent service. Food José Luis. Thank you.

Large portioned fresh Mediterranean Food. You can load up the bowl, salad or wrap and they have options for all food preferences. Overall a clean and quick lunch or dinner option. I recommend trying this place out.

Holy flavor! I think I found my new favorite takeout spot. So much flavor and great quality ingredients. Ordered takeout here recently for my boyfriend and I. I got the fyre box (nothing like fyre festival, very delicious and great portion) and my boyfriend got the vegan box with falafel. I also got the octopus empanada (I ate in secret because I didn't want to share but the octopus was a bit over cooked and chewy)

LARGE portions and delicious protein choices. The spicy potatoes are a must try in your bowl.

10 stars! Food was fresh and flavorful. The portions are big so you get your money's worth. The service was great and the restaurant was clean. Highly recommend

Today was my first time visiting a Taula location in person. I've ordered through Uber Eats a couple of times, but it's more enjoyable when you have it hot and fresh and the potatoes stay crispy. Taula is a fast-casual Mediterranean-style Chipotle-like kind of place. You start by choosing a box or bread and then choose the base, toppings, protein, and sauces. They have vegan options too. The total amount of toppings is very limited compared to similar places, but it doesn't matter that much because these meals have such a flavorful combination. Simplicity works well here. Today, I ordered a box and started with Zatar White Rice as my base. I requested all seven toppings that were available and then chose the Doner Chicken for protein. I went with the Harissa sauce which was the spiciest sauce available and also chose the Turmeric Garlic sauce. The Harissa had a really nice burn to it, but it was manageable. It's not the spiciest thing I've ever tried. Overall, this box I ordered was simply delicious and packed with flavor. For less than $10, it could easily satisfy two ordinary humans. And Taula gives you that peace of mind of eating healthy-ish. This place is a great lunch option any day of the week. Parking in the rear parking lot seems to be free. There's also plenty of metered parking nearby.

Fresh food and amazing service, my meal was large enough for three portions. Hidden gem for sure

Stopped by a friends house and hadn't eaten all day so I figured I needed something in my belly. He recommended this spot next to his building and it definitely did the trick. It's a Mediterranean Chipotle-style build-a-meal spot in the same vein as Rice Mediterranean Kitchen and Clove, both of which I love and Taula is easily joining the ranks. Basically, for you pick a base (rice, couscous, etc.) Add a protein and some toppings and finish with a sauce. Simple concept, delicious results. I went with a couscous base, spicy potatoes, spicy chicken, cucumber & tomatoes, radishes, pickled cabbage and tabbouleh, and topped it with a tumeric sauce. Simple, healthy, and delicious. Oh, and pretty cheap too. I'll definitely be back.

Used to LOVE this place and the new management is absolutely terrible. Employees are scared because cameras are watching them, portions are half the size (literally scooping half of the serving). I used to frequent a lot and just got to my 150 points for a box. The guy was already rude and when I went to redeem the box - he said I had to buy another one to get it? How does that make sense? I've gotten 150 before and never had that happen. Just horrible.

*This review is based only on the food since it was a lunch time Uber Eats delivery. My coworker and I had never been to Taula before so we decided to try a "box" each. A box is similar to a Chinese take out box but instead it is filled with Mediterranean goodies. You can build your own box or choose one of the predesigned ones on the menu. We tried the Classic box and the Mediterranean Box, here are the food items found inside: Classic Box $9.50 - Zatar White rice, crunchy potato bites, classic tabbouleh, pickled cabbage, specialty hummus, doner chicken (chicken with paprika and lime) and za'tar eggplant. This is the one I chose and my favorite out of both. The combination of ingredients were spot on and let me not get into the crispy potato bites. The potatoes take this meal to another level. I added Harissa sauce to mine which is extra spicy. Great flavor but do not get Harissa if you don't like the heat. Mediterranean Box $9.50 - Israeli couscous, crunchy potato bites, classic tabbouleh, tomato-cucumber salad, fresh tzatziki and doner chicken. My coworker chose this one with the Beet Cilantro sauce that tasted just like beets that overpowered the cilantro. Both boxes were great, I liked the Classic box better and loved the Harissa sauce better than the Beet Cilantro. One box can feed two people if you prefer portion control but in my case I was hungry and the flavors made me keep going. These boxes are complete meals to go whether on the run or a sit down meal. They are healthy, good quality and fresh.

Very, very tasty Mediterranean place that's a counter-service / Chipotle style setup. The staff were super helpful, too. Definitely the best Mediterranean version of a Chipotle I've ever had!

Quite delicious I must say but very expensive. $17 for a standard bowl/wrap and $21 with extra meat. Nice staff but damn I wasn't looking to drop 20+

Extremely yummy food. I was getting a bit hangry and I wanted something close, quick to serve & somewhat healthy. This place definitely exceeded those expectations! The ladies that work here are very nice, place Is clean & food was extremely flavorful, would be back!

Taula Fresh is Meditteranean food, BYO style! Step 1: Do you want it as a: BOX $8.50 BREAD $8.50 Step 2: Pick your base: Cous cous, white rice, cauliflower rice (extra fee) Step 3: Whadayawant? tabbouleh hummus tzatziki tomato cucumber salad pickled red cabbage assorted veggies potato bites (regular or spicy) Step 4: Meat Doner chicken (smoked paprika + lime + awesomeness) I think SHAWARMA BEEF(oregano + olive oil + coriander) add $2 ZA'ATAR EGGPLANT. *Note: Shawarma Beef is not available during dinner time, as of 8/2017. Step 5: Sauce Beet cilantro tumeric garlic zhoug harissa I went with a box form with white rice and added almost all of step 3 in there. I wanted the shawarma but it wasn't available, so I had to get the chicken. I went with the garlic sauce (oh so good). The tomato cucumber salad was pretty light and refreshing while the hummus mixed with the meat provided a great combination. tzatziki was also light, like a yogurt? Maybe it is a yogurt lol. Having the garlic sauce scattered all throughout the top made it good. This made me full because there was just so many different ingredients and combining them all together gave a great flavor combination. You will taste the lime of the chicken. I just kinda wish I coulda tried the shawarma haha. The only problems they have are that there was only one guy doing the entire process when we were there, so we had to wait til he went through the entire line and then the cashier. We had to wait for the spicy potatoes to be re-done as well. Also there were a lot of ants near the soda fountain :/ Get the cookies :3

Taula is one of my go-to places for lunch; is delicious, affordable and consistent. Meats are always fresh made on the vertical slip. You can have a shawarma or a bowl and pick your ingredients kinda like a Mediterranean chipotle. All toppings are great and some spicy sources that gives the perfect touch for the meal. Love this place

What I love most about Taula is the intensity of the flavors with the simplicity of the food. You have be sure to leave this place with a satisfied palette and very happy stomach. The portions are great, and I really do enjoy the wrap bread they use. Its not usual tasting, but I like the texture and flavor. Service is always good, space is always clean and not too packed. A lot of people take the food to go (me included) because they work around the area or live upstairs in thw building that the business is attached to. There is plenty of street parking in the surrounding area :) have eaten here about once every two weeks for the past 8 months and have never had a bad experience. Tip: you can get a bowl and ask for the bread on the side

Came here for their grand opening. I was really excited to try them out and somehow was left wanting more. Staff: the staff here is quite odd and honestly disinterested in helping you. I got some weird vibes and felt like they really didn't care about what they are doing. This immediately threw off my experience from the get go. Food: Very average tasting food. It doesn't look extremely flavorful but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, I was still left dissatisfied and craving for more flavor as I ate my bowl. Also I am wondering why as a Mediterranean place why they do not have falafel as an option, especially for vegetarians. Setting: This was one thing that I like about Taula. It's a nice setting with some vibrant decor. Overall: I was thoroughly unimpressed with my visit here. I don't like to be too critical with businesses, especially new ones, however there are some serious setbacks here that convince me to not come back. I would like to see more tasty and flavorful ingredients, as well as more vegetarian options (falafel). The staff could be more lively and engaging rather than giving off the impression that they don't give a hoot. Hope to see some improvements.

My friend and I came here for their grand opening than we came across on Eventbrite. We love going to grand openings because everyone is usually very lively and energetic. However, I did not get this vibes from Taula. The employees seemed confused while making my bowl; the service was very poor. As a vegetarian at a Mediterranean place, I expect some kind of protein base such as Falafel as an alternative to meat. Taula had eggplant as their protein option for vegetarians. I was very disappointed at the lack of options. The food is average, and I definitely expected more from a "hot and new Mediterranean place near me". However if you do eat meat and would like a quick bite in a clean and modern atmosphere, this place may be for you.

I didn't like what I read about this place and it's management before I actually decided to place an order. I don't like reading that the owner/manager was an arrogant individual who was apathetic to a poor meal or constructive criticism from its patrons. In spite of all that I decided to give it a shot because all of the other reviews mentioned that the food was spectacular. I must say I was not disappointed with the food. I had it delivered as I was in the middle of working and was expecting a less than satisfactory delivery experience as most food tastes and looks awful by the time it exchanges hands. I must say the presentation and taste of the food was delicious and intact. I was really impressed with the freshness of the ingredients and the overall taste of the food. I am really looking forward to the next time I go back to this spot as it is now one of my favorites food wise in the area. I just met the owners who are two partners in the business (Jose and Ignacio) and I am glad to hear that they take great pride in the food they make and everything is prepared fresh daily. They were both at the location when I came in to try the wrap which was amazing and I personally saw both of them serving their customers and preparing the food. This place is really unique and a great addition to the growing diversity Miami food scene.

Terrible customer service! Never going back again! The manager is rude, and doesn't value customers! My office orders lunch from here weekly, usually through uber eats. I was excited to finally join in on the order, but since the bowls can't be customized through uber app, I decided to go to the restaurant and pick up lunch for me and my coworkers, who are very familiar with the menu, and knew exactly what they wanted. I placed the order for one of my coworkers, who specifically asked for sauce on side- and the attendant refused to put the sauce on side, saying they don't have cups. I asked if I could provide the cup, and he still refused. I asked to speak to manager, and apparently that was the manager. When I told my coworker, she said forget it- if they are rude- not worth giving them any more business. There was only 1 person eating in the restaurant, nobody in line- so they weren't super busy, and can't blame the poor customer service on that. Obviously I canceled the order, and ordered from Clove, which never disappoints! After looking at other pictures on yelp- I see many side sauces! Which makes it even more ridiculous that the "manager" refused to put sauce on side!

Loved it. I met and exceeded my expectations as a not so fast food restaurant.. The boxes ingredients are too notch and well thought out The doner meat was flavorful I need to come back with reinforcements

Wow! How can something be so decadent and so refreshing at the same time? Had a delicious chicken and couscous bowl. Would only complain about the limited selection of toppings. There are only six options for toppings and they're all light, like tabbouleh, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, radish, and cabbage. They have an interesting array of sauces though, from a sweet beet sauce to a spicy jalapeño sauce to a savory garlic sauce. Delicious, slightly charred chicken and a meal that's simultaneously light and filling (how? Unsure)

Cool spot in another emerging neighborhood. I'm a fan of healthy fast casual places that offer good food at a reasonable price, Taula definitely provides! Like some of the other people mentioned, I have experienced the "out of stuff" wait like the bread so don't come here in a rush or just be flexible with what's currently available. I'm sure they'll overcome this problem as the business grows.

Hands down some of the best mediterranean food I've had! Everything tasted fresh and authentic, the tzatziki was a perfect combo with the spicy harissa sauce which is no joke! Not for anyone sensitive to spice! Chicken was perfectly spiced and juicy. Wish I lived here so that I could frequent this place and try all they have to offer. Absolutely make a stop here if you're looking for a casual fast lunch.

WOW. Had lunch here the other day with my friend after looking for a Mediterranean option and I'm so glad we tried this spot. It's a build your own bowl concept- with the option of a wrap as well. You can have a rice base or riceless- like shredded carrots. They have potatoes you can opt to have spicy, a variety of sauces, toppings and of course protein options- from beef to lamb and chicken, or eggplant if you're looking for plant based. The amount of food you get is fantastic for what you're paying. I had a bowl with shredded carrots, spicy potatoes, spicy chicken, cucumber and tomato salad, tzatziki, tabouli and harissa sauce. It was delicious and filling, and all for under 10$. I highly recommend this spot as a fast casual food option.

The food here is fresh and delicious. You get to choose box or "bread" which is a wrap. After that you have many options to choose from, but my favorite part is many spice levels to chose from. Fresh ingredients, clean location and a friendly staff. Will definitely come back.

I went to the Grand Opening of the new Taula location in Pinecrest. It took about a half hour to get through the line, but once we did, the food was really good. I opted for the chicken, spicy potatoes, tzaziki, radishes, pickled cabbage, and tomatoes and cucumber. All of it was freshly made and tasty. I wish they had a Doral location

I had this place on a whim when I wanted to order uber eats. I give them a 4 start only because I haven't actually been to their restaurant. If it's based just on food I give them a 5! Food is extremely fresh, tasty and light yet filling. I felt like I was eating such a healthy meal. The portion was HUGE as well.

Amazing place! Think of it as a Mediterranean Chipotle but better quality! Same serving style! I will only give them 4 stars because they don't sell "sides." After I finished my meal I asked for an extra side of their smooth silky hummus to take home and I was told sides are not sold separately. My heart was crushed hahaha! The yellow garlic turmeric sauce is amazing if you love garlic it's a must try! As a matter of fact all of the sauces are yummy! Try them all but keep in mind some are spicy so order them on the side. I also LOVE the tahini cocoa cookies! Small, airy and chewy texture! But all in all very yummy and fresh eats!

Taula brings the Mediterranean fast-casual experience to Miami. Something Miami has been in desperate need of. Delicious, healthy, and did I say delicious? Taula brings it on! The ambiance is hip as it's on the cusp of Wynwood. The service is fantastic! The two men behind the counter were so nice and happy to explain the concept of Taula. You choose either box or bread for $8.50. For the base, you have the option to choose between cauliflower rice, white rice, or couscous. Then you add your regular or spicy potatoes and top it off with a nice selection of veggies. The guy behind the counter suggested I choose the beef, and I am happy I did! My box was absolutely delicious! Fresh, spicy, and filling. Taula definitely gets you a bang for your buck. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Great flavor and good sized portion of food. I ordered the box , (chicken,patatoes,hummus,rice,veggies,and a tumeric/garlic sauce) it was excellent.

Amazing new spot! Casual spot for take out or eat in!! You can choose shawarma beef or chicken, but they also have a vegan option, eggplant. Absolutely delicious. It's quick and home made always a good fresh pick. Last time I had cilantro rice with some salad and doner chicken. Gem in the neighborhood, will come back!

Well, where do I start. I don't know much about Mediterranean food but if it was always like Taula then I am a FAN! First off, you got to get a box - then you choose your delish base - couscous, white rice, or veggie rice which is carrots chopped finely. Then you get OPTIONAL POTATOES INCLUDED? I mean carb on top of card included?! ILL HAVE BOTH PLZ. Then u can add a spicy seasoning to the potato's?! I mean I have not even gotten to the sauces yet. So you choose toppings like tomato cucumber salad, tabbouleh, hummus, pickled cabbage and stuff like that. I don't get that crazy. Remember it's all about the carbs. Then you pick chicken, meat or pork? CHICKEN! Then you get to top it off with sauces like what!!! loook I don't remember the sauce names but my excitement and full belly obviously are making me not be able to think clearly but this place ROCKS!! And it's all under 10$ for a GOOD PORTION AND A FULL BELLY! You can honestly leave half for dinner that's how filling it is. I recommend highly and I'm cheap so I've got to say it's good price awesome food!!!!! Love it!
