About Motek Miami Beach

Motek Miami Beach is a beloved Israeli-Mediterranean café tucked into the Triton Tower on Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, serving some of the most talked-about hummus, shawarma, and falafel in South Florida. The name means 'sweetheart' in Hebrew, and the warmth shows in every dish — from silky mushroom hummus and crispy chicken schnitzel to lamb shawarma platters and Moroccan cigars.

A two-time People's Choice winner at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Burger Bash (2022 & 2023), Motek has earned a loyal following among locals and tourists alike. The vibe is casual, cozy, and trendy — perfect for a quick bite after the beach or a relaxed dinner with friends.

With a full bar, $5 happy hour (Monday–Friday, 2–5 PM), vegan and vegetarian options, and a kids' menu, it covers all the bases. Reservations are recommended for dinner; the restaurant is also available for catering and private events.
