Your Table on South Dixie Highway Is Waiting
South Miami has had good food for a long time. What it didn't have, until 2005, was a kitchen built entirely around fresh, made-to-order Persian and Mediterranean cooking. That's where it all started for us.
The Shabani family opened the very first Rice House of Kabob just a few blocks from here, and this South Dixie Highway location still carries that same spirit. Today, stepping into Rice Mediterranean Kitchen in South Miami feels a little like walking into a family kitchen, minus the wait.
Everything here is cooked the same way it was twenty years ago, over an open flame, prepped fresh each morning, with nothing sitting under a heat lamp. As one of the few kitchens in the area built entirely around this kind of cooking, we've become the Mediterranean restaurant in South Miami that regulars build their week around, from a quick lunch near Sunset Place to a slower dinner after work.
It's easy to see why locals still call this their go-to healthy restaurant in South Miami.
What's on the Menu?
