On a recent trip to Miami, I was thrilled to try a local Turkish restaurant called Sumak. Located in the north beach area of Miami beach, a quaint area away from the hustle and bustle.

Sumak serves an array of grilled items, an assortment of hot & cold mezza (appetizers) and the most beautiful hand-crafted libations.

To start we selected a chopped cucumber, tomato, and onion salad, a smoked eggplant dip and the traditional borek with feta cheese and turkey pastrami. All homemade and delicious.

For our main course we had a grilled chicken kabob and grilled whole branzino. Every item we had was fresh and beautifully prepared. For dessert we had homemade baklava and fresh brewed Turkish tea. The atmosphere and ambiance is polished but friendly. The service is impeccable.
