"Load up on kebabs and Middle Eastern specialties on the cheap at this longstanding Miami spot. The platter is the way to get the most bang for a buck, offering a choice of protein and three sides like hummus, baba ganoush, salad, tabouli, or rice pilaf for under $15.50." - Eater Staff
"You’ve got a few speedy options at this Middle Eastern cafeteria/market in Coconut Grove—as long as you avoid the weekday lunch crowd. There are pita wraps for $10 or less with beef shawarma, lamb kafta, grilled chicken, and more. Or you can get one of the platters with falafel or kibbe—and if you do, you will probably not be able to see the plate under all that hummus, tabouli, and whatever else you ask them to throw on. Like lots of spots on this guide, it's all served in a cafeteria-style assembly line, and works great for both takeout or a quick dine-in meal. " - carlos c olaechea, ryan pfeffer
"Owned and operated by the Mazzawi family for over 40 years, this marketplace features Middle Eastern and Greek products alongside wraps, salads, and platters of shawarma, falafel, hummus, kaftas, gyros, and more. The baklava selection is a standout for dessert." - Olee Fowler
"The Meal: Falafel Pita, $8.50 You’ve got options at this Middle Eastern cafeteria/market in Coconut Grove. There are pita wraps with beef shawarma, lamb kafta, grilled chicken, and more. Or you can get one of the platters—lamb, beef, kibbie, chicken—all for under $15. If you're in a platter mood, you will not be able to see the plate under all that hummus, tabouli, and whatever else you ask them to throw on. But the cheapest—and very delicious—option here is the falafel pita. And this warm, crunchy lunch sleeping bag is only $8.50. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"There are two “Daily Bread'' markets in this city and this one is the self-proclaimed original. This Coconut Grove spot is the Orlando theme park equivalent of a Middle Eastern market. The ogee-arched building is the largest market on this guide. One side operates like a school cafeteria, serving great shawarma, za’atar fries, and more. The other is a market where you can buy loose-leaf teas, olive oils, and spices to revitalize your pantry if it currently looks sponsored by Kellogg’s. The Daily Bread is great for lunch, shopping, catering your next book club, or just having an emotional support baklava to-go." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
