Rice Mediterranean Kitchen

Wandering down Giralda Avenue looking for a lunch that won’t have you crashing by 2 PM? Rice Mediterranean Kitchen, a hidden gem in Coral Gables, is the answer. It’s not every day you find a fast-casual gem that feels this grounded, but that’s the clear benefit of a family-owned operation that treats its ancestral recipes with genuine respect. Here, you’re experiencing a thoughtful fusion of two distinct culinary worlds: Persian cuisine and the Mediterranean “real food” philosophy. It blends the sophisticated, aromatic spices of Iran with the fresh, produce-heavy staples of the Mediterranean diet, resulting in dishes that are both traditional and modern. By allowing diners to customize their bowls, Rice Mediterranean Kitchen gives you the freedom to create a meal that feels uniquely “yours

This Mediterranean restaurant is very good, the portions are generous, and the food is flavorful and high quality. I ordered a chicken kabob, and it was juicy and full of flavor, not to mention the rice. The service was good and fast, and it was good value for money!

It was better than expected! Portions are generous and everything was really good. I recommend this place for a quick and affordable bite.

Food is amazing and service is the best. The braised beef is amazing and all ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend! Dayanis was a great server!

The staff were very kind and attentive, and I genuinely appreciated their friendliness. However, the chicken portion size was surprisingly small for the amount paid, which was quite upsetting. The chicken, while nicely presented, unfortunately tasted like burnt charcoal and overshadowed the rest of the meal. It’s disappointing because the service was great, but the food quality and value just didn’t match.
