"Love ordering the Greek salad it's perfect every time"
"The last two times I've ordered it's been inconsistent for DINNER. Either they just ignore the toppings completely and just put rice & chicken or they give you a kids meal box with half of the toppings. The food is good but not enough to order and wait almost 2 hours, I recommend to pick up instead of delivery. Also $3 for a brownie that could be eaten in one bite is insane."

"The flavor of the food was outstanding, and the presentation clearly reflected the chef’s attention to detail and passion for the dish. The portion size was generous, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. I’ll definitely be ordering this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to try something new and memorable!"
"This is one of those ghost kitchens without a real location yet I gave it a try. Meat was great but hummus had no flavor and rice was all clumped together. Portion was definitely enough for a big one person meal. Unfortunately the only thing that tasted fresh was the meat so I probably wouldn't order again."

The owners and staff are warm and welcoming—you’ll feel at home without actually being at home. Many people don’t know that Turkish food is quite similar to Greek food, so there’s no need to be hesitant. The spinach pie, Meze salad, lamb shank, gyro, and chicken kebob are truly the best I’ve had on this side of the Atlantic. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside, you’re in for a delightful experience."
"Three major substitutions were made for our order- including 2 that were more expensive than the original item ordered. Shakshuka was subbed for hummus and artichoke hearts subbed for dolmas. I would have appreciated a call to select different substitutions or to cancel. I can understand one substitution but three in and order of seven items warrants additional outreach on the part of the restaurant in my opinion. I was emailed about the substitutions but was not monitoring email at the time."

"This is my new favorite restaurant. Falafel is excellent. The Samoon Bread Sandwich is phenomenal. Tahini and tzatziki sauces are delicious. All ingredients are fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. "
"The portion is generous. The rice is good. The meat is food. but that's it. The chicken was over burned so was the falafel, over fried. Also for a 30$ plate you would expect a tahina dip for the meat shawarma and a garlic dip foe the chicken shawarma. Overall it can pass if you are hungry but it doesn't surpass a fast food plate quality."

"This used to be my favorite spot. The hosts at the front were always welcoming and nice. The food used to always come with free water, it was a decent sized portion not a lot but enough to make sure you were full. There were funny pictures of chickens in designer clothing at the front while you waited. I knew the first time I tried here it was the perfect spot for my family and I. We ordered from here quite frequently. The rice was covered with chicken and white sauce. To where you couldn't even see the rice at first. The chicken used to always be fresh out too burning your mouth as soon as you took a bite. My favorite place to go for halal food at night. Im not sure what happened but they were closed for a few weeks and I could no longer order. This was my first time ordering since they reopened. But I can easily say they changed owners. Higher prices, food is completely different in every way. Except the fries. The food itself is not bad but it missed that homey feeling it used to have. The chicken... is interesting. The Salad was very good. You are charged for white sauce but get the smallest amount of white sauce is put on the chicken. A very disappointing change. If you want food, this is a decent choice but not the first choice for me any longer. Long live Halal heat."
"We ordered online during a “buy one, get one free” promotion, but unfortunately only received one meal instead of two. That was really disappointing, especially since we specifically chose this place because of the deal. On top of that, the fries with cheese sauce for $11 were a very small portion. The food itself was tasty, although it was quite spicy."

"Food is expensive and is not served as presented in the photos in the menu. Rice was unseasoned. Mozzarella sticks were 8-Pc instead of 10-Pc and were also battered and unseasoned instead of breaded and seasoned like in the menu photo. The only good thing was the Doner, unfortunately, the portion was ridiculously small for the price."

"Absolutely loved my experience with Thyme Machine. Specifically, as there are not many great Middle Eastern spots in Brickell for lunch. The staff is kind and ready to answer questions about the menu. The food is fresh and has a great authentic taste. I tried the Za’tar with cheese and vegetables( your choice of adding cucumber, tomato, olives, mint, & cheese). Personally, I accompanied with hummus to dip and it was amazing! So far I tried the Date beverage and Rosewater. Both are refreshing with the Rosewater being my top pick. Namoura dessert & Unica bar are must-try."

"The honey mustard vinaigrette is fantastic. I could eat this salad every day. Sometimes I order two salads - one for lunch and one for dinner. A lot of toppings are included - many of which are considered premium at other restaurants. "
"Bruh, the bowl size was like a frisbee and barely had chicken ☠️ It taste a bit bland with little to no salt and I could barely taste the cilantro lime flavor. Besides this, the salad was very fresh, presented nicely and tasted okay. Would I order this salad again? Probably not unless I was desperate and they gave me a coupon 😄"

"This was the most underwhelming meal I have ever had. There were two thinly sliced pieces of chicken that I could eat in two bites. The rice was overcooked.I wanted to try something different that wasn’t as commercial as rice, and I highly regret my decision. I will never order from here again."
