Chef Yaniv Cohen—who previously directed events for Louis Vuitton, Prada, and David Bowie—opened this food hall stall in 2018 to bring the sabich and shawarma of his North African roots to the Design District. The falafel arrives hot and crispy, the portions are generous, and the entire menu is kosher and dairy-free, which means the vegan options aren't afterthoughts. You're eating at a counter inside MIA Market, so don't expect ambiance—this is a lunch stop, not a destination. Solid for a quick, authentic Israeli fix when you're shopping the Design District and want something more substantive than a salad.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sabich Platter, Chicken Shawarma Platter, Vegan Falafel Platter
What Makes it Special: Authentic Israeli street food inside the Design District's Mia Market, run by chef-owner Yaniv Cohen with generous portions and kosher preparation.

The NYC temaki specialists landed in Miami with Pharrell's backing in 2023, bringing their open-style hand rolls designed to be eaten immediately while the nori stays crisp—a smart technical move that distinguishes them from standard sushi bars. The space channels coastal Japanese minimalism with sandy browns and cream tones, and the furikake fries have become an Instagram fixture. Reviews flag underseasoning on some rolls and portions that leave heavier eaters wanting more, plus service can feel rushed during turnover-focused dinner shifts. Best as a light lunch or pre-shopping bite rather than a destination dinner, especially at these prices.
Must-Try Dishes:
X.O. Scallop Hand Roll, Spicy Crab Dynamite Roll, Tuna Poke Hand Roll
What Makes it Special: NYC's beloved temaki temple arrives in Miami with Pharrell's backing, serving open-style hand rolls designed to be eaten immediately while the nori stays crisp.
