Rice Mediterranean Kitchen's Brickell location is one of several the brand operates around Miami, all working from a menu chef Ali Shabani developed in a South Miami test kitchen, drawing on his family's Mediterranean cooking. The format is counter-style and customizable: platters built around char-broiled kabobs — chicken joojeh, tenderloin chenjeh, ground sirloin kubideh — come with basmati rice, Greek salad, hummus, and pita, while the build-your-own bowl lets diners pick bases, dips, proteins, and dressings. Falafel, slow-cooked chicken, braised brisket, and a wild-caught snapper platter round out the options.
The restaurant has drawn notice as part of Miami's broader Mediterranean dining scene.
