Now, prosecutor Paul Johnson says that his pick offers delicious Mediterranean food in an unexpected yet very cool setting.

It's located in Miami and it's called Jaffa Israeli Kitchen and Wine Bar.

Hi everyone, my name is Yaniv Cohen and I'm the chef and owner of Jaffa Restaurant in Miami.

It's always been a passion of mine to share my cuisine from my homeland with the Miami audience.

Jaffa, it's a very old port city in Israel and it's one of my favorite little towns.

It's on the water, it's very old, but it's also going through a renaissance.

For me, when opening Jaffa it was like modernized street food.

So it's like simple rustic, delicious street food, but in a very modern environment.

What's different here in Mia Market, even though it's a food court, it's chef driven, so it's not your usual, you know, mall super fast food chains.

One of the favorite things that people have here is the turmeric roasted cauliflower.

So it's a whole roast cauliflower that's been bathed in turmeric water.

And then I top it with tahini, which is our staple sauce for everything, which is super delicious.

I have tourists who make Jaffa their first stop from the airport to South Beach.

Jaffa is a modern middle-Eastern street food in the most dynamic and fun space.

So we're talking about a food hall, food court.

[Paul] Yeah.

Which seems to be getting more and more popular in South Florida, so tell us about it.

This place is actually authentic, really, really flavorful Israeli food or Middle Eastern food.

What did you all think?

First of all?

I love it.

Have you been to Design District?

Yes.

Before?

I've seen Design District multiple times.

[Both] Multiple times.

Okay.

I've always walked past like that little food court area, but I've never walked in.

[Madison] Well, you have to go up, which there's not a lot of stores up there.

[Paulina] Yeah.

[Madison] So you have to kind of want to go or decide to go.

Everything was very nice and the customer service, I went on a downtime again, like on a Wednesday.

Not a lot of people there.

Middle day.

Yeah, middle of the day.

But yeah, it was a very nice place.

I really liked it.

It was very, I don't know, I just loved the environment.

Everybody there seemed very friendly.

They were all smiling, waving, just having a good time and enjoying each other's company.

All right, so let's talk about what you had first.

I'm not a cauliflower person.

I've never been.

He said try it.

Is it whole roasted?

Yeah.

[Paul] And it's the turmeric roasted and it comes with, there's something else that it comes with.

Maybe tahini?

Possibly.

That's it, you beat me.

Sorry.

That's why it's your show.

You beat me.

No, you know how I know, it's a traditional dish that you'd have in Israel.

Yeah.

And magnifique, it was wonderful.

And then the mezza platter with beef brisket.

[Michelle] And you had crispy Brussels sprouts?

Oh yeah, crispy Brussels.

We had that too.

Okay.

Yeah, and it was just two of us.

But the portions again, you know, kind of use the same principle.

It's like Oliver Bistro or the rents are high, you're not gonna get as much.

It's, they're not huge portions.

Very flavorful, very.

Okay, Paulina, what did you have?

I started off with the hummus and they gave me pita bread on the side.

It was warmed up right in front of me.

It was really yummy.

It was very huge though.

Like, definitely shareable with three other people.

Definitely I would go back for that.

How about you, Madison?

I had the mint lemonade.

Okay.

Oh my gosh, super refreshing.

He made it there, so it wasn't something premade.

It was like a slushy consistency.

Yeah.

It was super refreshing.

I loved it.

I had the baklava, that was really good too.

It was Oh, I had that too.

You had it too?

No, no, I just said that was good.

Oh yes, yes, you had it.

I had it too.

Yeah, it was good.

It was a sweet pecan little dessert.

It's very sweet.

So I have a sweet tooth.

I can eat it all, but if you wanna share, you can.

[Michelle] Okay.

I also tried the hummus as well.

The hummus was good, I liked it.

I love the pita.

It was super fluffy and warm, so yeah.

Anything else?

That's all I had, but I definitely will go back every time I'm in the Design District to drink that minty lemonade, so refreshing.

How were the prices for y'all?

It was honestly, yeah, really decent.

Especially for where you are.

And plus the portions, you can't beat that with the price, especially with the hummus.

So I'll definitely go back, especially get a little drink when it's so hot out there in the Design District.

Yeah, for sure.

Definitely go back.

[Michelle] So you don't mind the whole food hall, food court experience?

I'm low maintenance.

Okay.

I love that.

It love it too.

Because it also gives you like more places too.

Yeah.

So that's the great thing about walking into one of these food halls is that you, you know, if you're in the mood for hummus, you can have that, but maybe while you wait, you can have a little top ramen.

Sushi.

Or yeah, whatever else.

A lot of people have like, you know, families, different people.

Like it's not just a place where it's like specifically dressed up or whatever.

You can come in jeans, work on, bring out your laptop, have meetings.

Paul, would you like to sum up your experience?

If you're in the Design District or if you're not, this is a wonderful place for a very authentic Middle Eastern, Tel Avivian Israeli food.

Lovely, Paulina?

This is definitely a spot that you wanna bring your girlfriends after shopping.

It's shareable and the portions are really great.

Okay, Madison?

Come one, come all, it's definitely a place to hit.

Beautiful.
