Miami’s Hottest Eatery, Motek, Expands to Boca with a Bang!

A Fresh Taste of Tel Aviv Lands in South Florida

The wildly popular Motek, known for its vibrant Israeli-inspired dishes and electric Miami atmosphere, has just opened its doors in Boca Raton, marking its first expansion outside of the Magic City. Foodies are already lining up to experience the same bold flavors and Instagram-worthy plates that made the original location a must-visit hotspot.

What Makes Motek So Special?

Motek (which means "sweetheart" in Hebrew) isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a culinary experience. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Tel Aviv Vibes: Think lively decor, neon lights, and a Mediterranean energy that transports diners straight to Israel’s hippest dining spots.
• Innovative Menu: From crispy sabich sandwiches loaded with eggplant to fluffy malawach (Yemenite flatbread), every dish bursts with flavor.
• Cocktails with a Twist: Their signature Arak-based drinks—like the "Motek Mule"—add a Middle Eastern kick to classic cocktails.

Why Boca Raton?

Motek’s expansion into Boca signals the city’s growing food scene. With a mix of locals and transplants craving bold, fresh flavors, Boca was the perfect next stop. The new location offers the same high-energy dining experience but with a slightly more relaxed, family-friendly twist.

What’s on the Menu?

1. Hummus Motek – Silky smooth chickpea dip topped with lamb ragú or mushrooms.
2. Jerusalem Bagel – A must-try, served hot with za’atar and tahini.
3. Shakshuka – The ultimate brunch staple, served bubbling hot in a cast-iron pan.

Early Reactions

Social media is buzzing with rave reviews, with diners calling the Boca location "just as incredible as Miami" and praising the "perfectly spiced" dishes. Reservations are filling up fast, so plan ahead if you want a taste!
