The family-owned restaurant, celebrated for its warm hospitality and award-winning Arayes Burger, has gained a reputation for offering famed kosher-style dishes inspired by Founder Charlie Levy’s childhood in Israel. MOTEK has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike, offering an unparalleled dining experience that celebrates the rich flavors and diverse cultures of Israel, the Middle East, and the Eastern Mediterranean. MOTEK was originally established in June 2020 in Downtown Miami and offers innovative dishes rooted in traditional Mediterranean cuisine with quality and freshness at its forefront.
