Pesto Cafe and Grill — Restaurant in Florida

We visited Pesto Cafe only to try their Mediterranean food, we were craving for Arabic food and we were hungry, place was almost empty, just one table had people eating, so we choose a table and waited for service, we noticed a couple of people waiting on food to go, also, a few people came in to pickup food food deliveries, we were greated fast and I asked the lady for recommendations, so we ordered the chicken and lamb shawarma platter and the kibbe platter, service was average, food came in fairly quick, good presentation, lots of ingredients, good flavor (Not the best but good). My chicken and lamb platter was tasty, the only downside was that the chicken and lamb were either overcooked or refried because it was very chewy and crisp also very dry, the rest was just ok, we also noticed the kibbe platter was lacking protein, for the size of the platter only two very small pieces of kibbe was certainly not enough, also the pita bread was lacking, so we ordered and extra serving of kibbe, to complement the rest of the veggies, salad and creams, the platter should come with at least 3 pieces or they should make them a little bigger. Overall, we satisfied our appetite. Having eating on other Lebanese restaurants before, I would say this is at fast food level, not bad, but I had better meals at other restaurants with better quality and prepared ingredients which makes the food more authentic, here I had the feeling they were cutting corners and focusing more on the fast food delivery type of restaurant. Prices are little bit higher than other places with more quality food. Parking is a hit or miss due to the gym nearby. Overall, I might try again in the future to finally convince myself...

Wowww woww woww! Where to begin... if I could use 3 words to describe this place it would be

Homie, Friendly, and Delicious.

Pesto Cafe and grill is a mom and pop shop ran by a very hardworking and kind family whose sole purpose from the moment you step in is to deliver to highest quality experience they can. It literally feels like I am coming in to visit a close family member.

What drove me to come here was their images of bagels I saw online. Everyone continued to rage on how incredible they were and let me tell you... THEY WERE SO GOOD.

I decided to order a breakfast sandwich with their bagel as the “buns”, filled with crispy bacon, 2 eggs and melted cheese. I mean cmon! It doesn’t get better than that.

After that first bite I new I was immediately hooked.

Overall, amazing experience and I will definitely be back soon.

We went on Saturday, wanted to try this new place located in West Kendall. We arrived almost at closing time ( 5:30 pm) they close at 6:00 pm. The personnel were very attentive and took us in. The place is cozy and has outside, and inside seating. We seat inside ( rainy day) and ordered taboule, hummus, fried kibbe, vegetarian grape leaves, and falafel. They were run off of pita bread and offered us the sandwich ones ( tasty). The hummus and falafel are must-haves, and delicious! The taboule was super fresh and the portion is pretty large. The kibbeh was lacking a little bit of seasoning, was super fresh though. The vegetarian grapes leaves were a little bit hard ( probably not so fresh ). Overall it was a good food experience but next time I would try to get...
