Motek is an Israeli Mediterranean bistro serving sharing-style small, medium, and large plates. The menu draws on Israeli, Lebanese, Moroccan, and Yemenite traditions -- expect hummus, wood-oven flatbreads (laffa and flat pita), mezzes (babaganoush, falafel, halloumi), shakshuka, sandwiches on challah, grilled kebabs, and fresh seafood. The concept is designed for group dining where the table shares multiple plates.

The Arayes Burger ($23) is Motek's signature burger -- beef kufta kebab pressed inside a pita, served with tahini and harissa aioli. It won the People's Choice award at Miami's Burger Bash in both 2022 and 2023, making it the most celebrated item on the menu. It is listed as spicy due to the harissa aioli.

Yes -- Motek's menu skews heavily plant-friendly. Vegan options include the Hummus Tehina ($13), Hummus Mushroom ($16), Hummus Roasted Eggplant ($16), Babaganoush ($10), Falafel ($12), Smashed Avocado ($9), Israeli Salad ($16), Falafel Bowl ($18), Za'atar Fries ($9), Majadra Rice ($9), and the Veggie Arayes with Impossible meat ($22). Vegetarian options include shakshuka, labneh, halloumi, latkes, and several flatbreads.

Masabacha (also spelled msabbaha or musabaha) is a Middle Eastern dish closely related to hummus. At Motek, the Hummus Masabacha features whole overnight-cooked chickpeas -- warmer and chunkier than smooth hummus -- topped with a hard-boiled egg, pine nuts, sumac-pickled onion, and parsley. The chickpeas are softer and the texture is more rustic than classic blended hummus.

Shakshuka is a North African and Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached directly in a spiced tomato sauce. At Motek Aventura, the Shakshuka ($18) uses organic pasture-raised eggs in a homemade spicy fresh tomato sauce, served with tahini and challah bread for dipping. The Hummus Shakshuka ($23) is the signature upgrade -- the same shakshuka centered in hummus, with freshly baked challah and tahini.

Motek Aventura is a mid-to-upscale casual bistro. Cold mezzes and hummus run $9--$16; hot mezzes and brunch dishes $9--$23; sandwiches and burgers $14--$27; bowls $18--$37; and entrees $25--$65. A shared-plates dinner for two with a drink each typically runs $80--$120 before tip. Note that a 20% service charge may be applied -- confirm with the restaurant.
