I've literally never had a better dinning experience. Every time I eat there I think to myself "this is seriously the best tasting thing I've ever had." On occasion the owner and head chef will make herself available for conversation, which gives you a sense of how amazing this place truly is. She is from Israel but loves to travel and has picked up culinary tidbits from all over the world. The result is someone who has not only successfully mastered Mediterranean cuisine, but also French, Spanish, Japanese, Thai, Italian, American soul food...the list goes on ad infinitum. The staff and ambiance are both top notch as well. Seriously, the only thing that could make this place better is more locations so I can eat there when I'm not in Miami. The menus changes up a bit based on what's fresh, in season...etc. although it seems like some of the favorites stick around. Definitely have the Pad Thai!!!! It's amazeballs! The cheesecake is also one of my favorites.

I finally came here after months of walking by the cute little spot and I am so glad I did. A friend and I decided to give NOA a shot after hearing about how they good and fresh the food was. First of all the service was great, our server helped us recommendations and pointed out all of the specials and he recommended the Pad Thai and told is the portion is huge, although neither of us tried it today, we sure will in the future. The atmosphere was great when we walked in, greeted by everyone working and we just seated ourselves. It's quiet and such a nice spot here in Edgewater to get a great lunch in a nice quaint environment. Even though it's right along 2nd Ave it's quiet and a little hidden gem of the neighborhood. I ordered the teriyaki salmon fillet with baby greens and mashed potatoes. SO GOOD. I swear the fillet of salmon was way more than 8oz. It was such a generous portion and seriously cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were homemade and a perfect side. Overall, wonderful little spot that I suggest to anyone! The menu is a variety of foods but it can definitely serve a lot of people's taste.

Awesome! The food, the staff, the atmosphere! The only place to eat in Miami. The meringue was spectacular and so was everything else that we've gotten here. We love going here every time we have work in the area.

At NOA Cafe you will have a very fulfilling lunch time. Don't let this small eatery with simple, light decor fool you, what they lack in size they make up for with food variety, flavors and freshness. I can't help it but to keep wondering, how can they have items with influences from all over the world in such a standard size menu?. Even better, do you feel like mixing two opposing sides? Let's say:...fish (from the healthy side) and burger (from the not-so-healthy yet delicious side) They've got you: have their salmon burger. Yes, I said Salmon burger. A juicy, delicious, big medallion of "ground salmon" in between a yummy bun with subtle hints of cinnamon, accompanied by slices of avocado, tomato, white onion and bean sprouts. So good. Add a side of grilled veggies and pray you'll have room left to try dessert. I didn't. But judging by my burger and other yelpers, I'm definitely going back for dessert. P.S. I've never been a fan of bread before my meals. It feels me up and kills my hunger making me leave half of my entree on the plate. BUT, the bread they serve you pre meal with that smoky and spicy sauce is made in heaven. Fresh, porous, (did I mention fresh?) bread that melts in your mouth...M.M.M...Dreamy...Wait, where am I?

The food was top-notch but the service has a little to work on. One might think that shouting to a table when people are sitting at the counter is okay - but I surely don't believe that is a good practice. I wish I would have sat outside on NE 2nd Ave to have less competition to talk with my friend while dining here compare to the server who was having a full blown convo with a table. This is a nice place to dine while getting away from the office for a short period of time. The open kitchen is a nice touch. Enjoyed the salad that was suggested and the french soup was fab! Hoping the short rub special is up the next time I visit because it would be a good to try.

The food & atmosphere here are excellent--my coworkers and I thoroughly enjoyed taking a break at this place: small and very warm service, with very fine food. The salmon was prepared & cooked to perfection and even the sides (many to choose from) are delicious too. One day, the owner was testing a new recipe for the bread spread and even asked for our input. This place is a gem in Miami!

Great food, fair price in a cozy and friendly place. Server always in good mood and friendly. They have specials every day. This is like the small/secret place you don't want to become trendy, it's like a hot spot know by just a few. Please keep it that way.

Ok, so five starts might not be accurate being that I picked up and only ordered a salad, but you would understand if you had a single bite of it. ASIAN STEAK SALAD, where have you been all my life?!!?!?!?! I don't know what they put on their greens, but it was like crack and I didn't even need whatever other sauce/dressing came on the side. My steak was cooked just as I specified (medium rare) and the food was ready when I got there. Really, what else can I ask for? But lets go back to the taste...I kept making noises every time I put another bite in my mouth. YES, THAT GOOD. I didn't want it to end. I am dying to go back and try something else off their menu or even dine in house. Will def be back soon!

From the moment I stepped into the restaurant I am greeted by friendly, cheerful employees. A bright welcoming room awaits me and my guest. From a variety of mouth watering choices, I ordered the pad Thai a large and very tasty dish. For dessert we had the cheesecake with fruits on the bottom and a large scoop of whip cream. I give NOA 5 stars all around and recommend this family owned restaurant to any outgoing , food loving person.

I have passed this tiny eatery way too many times but thank God that my hubby and I stopped on our way to midtown. Do not let the exterior fool you - cozy tiny - but huge in flavor. Next time I go back I will have to request that my hands get tied behind my back so that I do not over indulge in their complimentary focaccia bread with that spicy chipotle OH SO FLAVORFUL sauce ( I am convinced it is bewitched). Ok so after we finished 2 bread baskets with that damn delicious sauce I still had room for the veggie soup. It was hearty and full of so many tenderly cooked all kind of vegetables. Truly I would have been in light fare heaven with the soup and the bread but greedy me convinced herself to get their pad thai. Why did I do it? only because the waiter said it is perfect for a super hungry person. Well I barely shaved of the top as I was so full but a few hours later I definitely appreciated the huge portion. It was a veggie pad thai so I am not sure if that it why it did not come with egg but if you order it then I would recommend you ask about the egg and if you want it spicy then ask for it on the side. The extra spice altered the flavor making it heavy on the sauce taste but I think it is NOA's magic as the flavor came to life a few hours later when I ate it at home (I ate it cold and I was unstoppable). My husband ordered the teriyaki salmon with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. Next time I will order his dish as it was perfect on the spot. Who knew mashed potatoes could be so good. THIS PLACE IS ON POINT - THE FOOD IS LIKE WAITING TO OPEN YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT - THE WAITERS CAN MAKE AN ANGRY PERSON SMILE - AMBIENCE IS RELAXING - PRICES ARE SO REASONABLE - AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO TRY MORE :-)

My boyfriend and I were wondering around wynwood for a good place to eat. He found this little spot on yelp and we decided to give it a try. For starters, it looks like a small little house. This I loved ! It makes you feel like you're going to moms house to eat. When we got inside it was very welcoming, their staff knows exactly what to recommend based on things you like. For myself I chose a salmon tortellini pasta which I was head over heels for after the first bite. They make everything from scratch, their sauces, drinks (lemonade, tea, that sort of thing), and even their bread. Before you receive your food they bring you some fresh bread with their signature sauce which was so gooooood I asked to take some home . My waitress was a very friendly and attentive Russian woman, she recommended we try the flourless chocolate cake. Let me just say, she didn't disappoint us. I could eat that cake everyday if I could !!! Overall, amazing place ! Great staff, awesome atmosphere ! I found out they have a pretty great brunch menu, so I'll definitely be back.

I had such a wonderful meal here!! Since I am pretty strict about staying on my paleo lifestyle, finding restaurants that are accommodating is hard to do but NOA cafe made it easy! The menu is so unique. From small plates of babaganoush to chicken wings, the variety of flavors at NOA is fantastic. I had the salmon burger with no bun and extra veggies on the side. The side of sweet potatoes is no joke. I do not think I have had better baked sweet potatoes than I had a NOA. They were perfectly soft and moist. The space itself is very cozy. The decor is lovely and everything is very clean. I am dying to come back to try their brunch! This is a great restaurant and I cannot wait to see how they do. Cheers!

Went for lunch one day with some coworkers who recommend the spot. Place is small doesn't hold too many people inside so it gets very packed for lunch. Btw, don't be that guy who takes up a 6 seat table when your eating alone and space is limited. My friends and I had to sit at the counter because apparently this guy thinks he's a rock star. They only had a few servers and possibly just one cook (you can see the kitchen from the counter) it's that small of a place. I'm not sure if maybe the servers were new or maybe just inexperienced but they were all over the place. They took about 10 mins to take our drink order so we had to grab someone's attention to get some water. I tried their lemonade bc it looked good and it was. More to the bitter than sweet side but that's how I like my lemonade. Then another 10 minutes came by before anyone bothered to get our order so again we hailed someone to take our order. Two of us got the NOA burger and the other the pad Thai. It took about 40 minutes no lie to get our food. By this time we were so fed up with the spotty service and how long everything was taking. We finally got our food and the burgers were very good I'll give them that. I got it with goat cheese and the combination with bacon and avocado was great. The burgers are very fat so I can see why it takes so long to cook. Although we asked for medium well at that point we even asked just cook it medium to get faster but they brought it medium well anyway. The portions are very big so come hungry. I had the sweet potato fries which are spicy. They add red pepper flakes so if your not tolerant to spicy you might want to advise them not to add that unless that's just how they come. I do want to come again and give their service another try bc the food is good but waiting so long can truly kill a dining experience for me. So for now, NOA you get 3 stars but hopefully that will change.

What a great spot for lunch! It's small inside but it was chilly which was perfect for such a hot day. I had the lemon grilled chicken with mashed potato and baby green salad. DELISH. The dressing on the baby green salad was perfect - not too heavy, just right. Staff was very nice. Closed on weekends and open until 5pm, try to make it for lunch. Highly recommended.

The gals at NOA have summarily impressed us with their ability to turn humble ingredients into sparkling wonders. The salmon cakes with mixed greens salad and lemon dressing surpassed my expectations, and the Capresse Salad with tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella, drizzled in olive oil and balsamic, with fresh basil atop almost made me cry. Every time I walk into this place, it's like being transported to a local restaurant on the Amalfi Coast--yes, it's that good. Don't take my word for it, go see the gals at NOA and try something off their well-edited menu--you'll be glad you did.

Chill C.
great fresh food. very good quality and excellent taste. We had the food delivered so I can't say anything about eating at the restaurant. But when I went there it looked clean and as nice as it gets for a small catering place. The food is very well priced and the quality is very high. I have not come across a lot of restaurants that make great tasting salads like NOA does.

Joe S.
This place is a true gem tucked away in mid town. The other day my friend and I came across it by chance and decided to give it a try. To say we were overly impressed is an understatement. The chicken pesto sandwich served on homemade fresh bread blew me away, my friend tried the salmon pasta and he was equally impressed. Looks like they do catering and local delivery too. Fast service at a very reasonable price.

Noa Cafe is a small cafe near Midtown/Winwood, that has really good food, great service, inside outside seating and plenty of parking in the neighborhood. we ordered the fish of the day and a Middle Eastern plate. the hummus was very good and the falafal was the best i have ever eaten and i have lived in Israel. they also have swarma, which i can not wait to try! the fish was also very good as well as the grilled vegetables. NOA is open for lunch and dinner, and has a nice relaxed vibe!!

Viviana M. R.
These guys rock. I love their food, their ingredients are fresh, their staff is friendly and professional (you'd think this would be a given but welcome to Miami, not so much...). I found them by chance as I live close by and am desperate for good quality food in this town that doesn't require a VIP pass beyond the red velvet rope. These guys are the real thing. I've been there just for lunch so far and their Mezze plate is fantastic, their salmon is cooked to perfection and their pastas are great. I look forward to trying out their dinner menu as the place is intimate, non-miami-pretentious, and romantic at night with its cute cafe vibe. Skip the below par food quality in the Midtown eateries across the street and eat at this place. The only thing as a downside is the lack of parking but hey, it is Miami, for such a small city it has serious parking issues. But Uber here and don't worry about it. Seriously this place is good and I'd consider using them for catering gigs too.

What a great spot. I happened into NOA sort of by accident this morning, thanks to my friends at Genius Jones. So glad I did. While the restaurant wasn't yet opened for lunch, Rock Star Baby and I were greeted by the loveliest folks! The staff were warm and pleasant and super kind to the baby. I had no idea that the spot was a full service lunch restaurant...what a fantastic surprise! The menu is fresh and varied with enough to offer my carnivorous men, while also serving picky, vegetarian entitled NYer me. If you have a Zumbi ni class or are visiting Genius Jones, or just chilling in the hood, stop by and grab delicious lunch!

So I live nearby and have been coming to NOA at least once a week for lunch (usually with the guys I work with) since they opened. There's simply no place else around with the combination of fresh and deliciously prepared food that you can find in this small and incredibly friendly local gem. And now, they're open for DINNER and BREAKFAST, and yes, even brunch on the weekends. This is my "go to" when I just don't want to cook and need to eat really well.

Wow, okay, I hadn't been here before but just met someone here for a business meeting. I literally left and am writing this in the parking lot of Publix. What a gem! This place is very small with just a handful of tables but the food I ate was spectacular. I ordered the Mediterranean meze plate. The salad dressing is homemade and divine plus the hummus and falafel were so good. I have a weakness for Mediterranean food and my lunch hit the spot. The plate also came with pita and olives which I didn't eat, but I did clean the grilled veggies which were heavenly. So glad I was able to check out a new spot near my home. The dish is perfect for vegetarians and contains no added sugar (except the pita). Will be back for dinner!

Our boss found this place when she decided to walk a few blocks and check it out. I have seen this little cafe so many times on my drive into work. Luckily for our office staff she brought back a menu. Quite impressed, like wow they offer some nice dishes at reasonable prices. They also have daily specials. We have ordered delivery a few times now and all of us are very pleased with the quality of their food. Not all but some things are organic, the flavors they put together make every dish wonderful and flavorful. They also cater and offer home delivery for these amazingly delicious meals right to your door. I ordered a Chicken pesto with sun dried tomato paste, mozzarella de buffalo and grilled vegetables. It comes with baby green salad and house vinaigrette for $8.95. The salad was so fresh and crisp, the dressing delicious and the sandwich was a very good size. It had perfectly grilled chicken strips, mozzarella, peppers, onions, pesto oh my so much flavor and huge bonus for having great Foccacia. Some of my co workers have tried their baked salmon with butter lemon, thyme, and white wine and love it. I am looking forward to trying other dishes as they all look so good. Their salads, foccacia sandwiches, desserts and entrees all look wonderful! This may easily be a five star next meal. Thank you for providing us with excellent healthy meals with great delivery service.

The menu is so unique. From small plates of babaganoush to chicken wings, the variety of flavors at NOA is fantastic. I had the salmon burger with no bun and extra veggies on the side. The side of sweet potatoes is no joke. I do not think I have had better baked sweet potatoes than I had a NOA. They were perfectly soft and moist. The space itself is very cozy. The decor is lovely and everything is very clean. I am dying to come back to try their brunch! This is a great restaurant and I cannot wait to see how they do. Cheers!

Best place for lunch in this neighborhood! Healthy and quality food...They just started opening for dinner and I have yet to try then. Adi's crew is consistent.

Went for lunch one day with some coworkers who recommend the spot. Place is small doesn't hold too many people inside so it gets very packed for lunch. Btw, don't be that guy who takes up a 6 seat table when your eating alone and space is limited. My friends and I had to sit at the counter because apparently this guy thinks he's a rock star. They only had a few servers and possibly just one cook (you can see the kitchen from the counter) it's that small of a place. I'm not sure if maybe the servers were new or maybe just inexperienced but they were all over the place. They took about 10 mins to take our drink order so we had to grab someone's attention to get some water. I tried their lemonade bc it looked good and it was. More to the bitter than sweet side but that's how I like my lemonade. Then another 10 minutes came by before anyone bothered to get our order so again we hailed someone to take our order. Two of us got the NOA burger and the other the pad Thai. It took about 40 minutes no lie to get our food. By this time we were so fed up with the spotty service and how long everything was taking. We finally got our food and the burgers were very good I'll give them that. I got it with goat cheese and the combination with bacon and avocado was great. The burgers are very fat so I can see why it takes so long to cook. Although we asked for medium well at that point we even asked just cook it medium to get faster but they brought it medium well anyway. The portions are very big so come hungry. I had the sweet potato fries which are spicy. They add red pepper flakes so if your not tolerant to spicy you might want to advise them not to add that unless that's just how they come. I do want to come again and give their service another try bc the food is good but waiting so long can truly kill a dining experience for me. So for now, NOA you get 3 stars but hopefully that will change.

Great spot. Smaller space makes it feel very homey and the service is spot on. Had the grilled octopus to start...excellent, steak and pad Thai. Steak was great, pad Thai was pretty good. Flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Definitely coming back.

Great people. Great place. Great food. Great deal. And now they are open for dinner. If your anywhere near them it's a must. Anthony is the man

What a great spot for lunch! It's small inside but it was chilly which was perfect for such a hot day. I had the lemon grilled chicken with mashed potato and baby green salad. DELISH. The dressing on the baby green salad was perfect - not too heavy, just right. Staff was very nice. Closed on weekends and open until 5pm, try to make it for lunch. Highly recommended.

NOA is a little hole in the wall place. Don't let its outside appearance fool you. Food is very good and made fresh. Staff is great as well.

The gals at NOA have summarily impressed us with their ability to turn humble ingredients into sparkling wonders. The salmon cakes with mixed greens salad and lemon dressing surpassed my expectations, and the Capresse Salad with tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella, drizzled in olive oil and balsamic, with fresh basil atop almost made me cry. Every time I walk into this place, it's like being transported to a local restaurant on the Amalfi Coast--yes, it's that good. Don't take my word for it, go see the gals at NOA and try something off their well-edited menu--you'll be glad you did.

great fresh food. very good quality and excellent taste. We had the food delivered so I can't say anything about eating at the restaurant. But when I went there it looked clean and as nice as it gets for a small catering place. The food is very well priced and the quality is very high. I have not come across a lot of restaurants that make great tasting salads like NOA does.

This place is a true gem tucked away in mid town. The other day my friend and I came across it by chance and decided to give it a try. To say we were overly impressed is an understatement. The chicken pesto sandwich served on homemade fresh bread blew me away, my friend tried the salmon pasta and he was equally impressed. Looks like they do catering and local delivery too. Fast service at a very reasonable price.

Noa Cafe is a small cafe near Midtown/Winwood, that has really good food, great service, inside outside seating and plenty of parking in the neighborhood. we ordered the fish of the day and a Middle Eastern plate. the hummus was very good and the falafal was the best i have ever eaten and i have lived in Israel. they also have swarma, which i can not wait to try! the fish was also very good as well as the grilled vegetables. NOA is open for lunch and dinner, and has a nice relaxed vibe!!

These guys rock. I love their food, their ingredients are fresh, their staff is friendly and professional (you'd think this would be a given but welcome to Miami, not so much...). I found them by chance as I live close by and am desperate for good quality food in this town that doesn't require a VIP pass beyond the red velvet rope. These guys are the real thing. I've been there just for lunch so far and their Mezze plate is fantastic, their salmon is cooked to perfection and their pastas are great. I look forward to trying out their dinner menu as the place is intimate, non-miami-pretentious, and romantic at night with its cute cafe vibe. Skip the below par food quality in the Midtown eateries across the street and eat at this place. The only thing as a downside is the lack of parking but hey, it is Miami, for such a small city it has serious parking issues. But Uber here and don't worry about it. Seriously this place is good and I'd consider using them for catering gigs too.

Best dine! Just had best red snapper. You are in extra luck if Anthony is your waiter. Enjoy. Forgot something important, their deserts are 10 stars!!!

What a great spot. I happened into NOA sort of by accident this morning, thanks to my friends at Genius Jones. So glad I did. While the restaurant wasn't yet opened for lunch, Rock Star Baby and I were greeted by the loveliest folks! The staff were warm and pleasant and super kind to the baby. I had no idea that the spot was a full service lunch restaurant...what a fantastic surprise! The menu is fresh and varied with enough to offer my carnivorous men, while also serving picky, vegetarian entitled NYer me. If you have a Zumbi ni class or are visiting Genius Jones, or just chilling in the hood, stop by and grab delicious lunch!

So I live nearby and have been coming to NOA at least once a week for lunch (usually with the guys I work with) since they opened. There's simply no place else around with the combination of fresh and deliciously prepared food that you can find in this small and incredibly friendly local gem. And now, they're open for DINNER and BREAKFAST, and yes, even brunch on the weekends. This is my "go to" when I just don't want to cook and need to eat really well.

Wow, okay, I hadn't been here before but just met someone here for a business meeting. I literally left and am writing this in the parking lot of Publix. What a gem! This place is very small with just a handful of tables but the food I ate was spectacular. I ordered the Mediterranean meze plate. The salad dressing is homemade and divine plus the hummus and falafel were so good. I have a weakness for Mediterranean food and my lunch hit the spot. The plate also came with pita and olives which I didn't eat, but I did clean the grilled veggies which were heavenly. So glad I was able to check out a new spot near my home. The dish is perfect for vegetarians and contains no added sugar (except the pita). Will be back for dinner!

Wonderful service, delicious simple but quality ingredients. Loved the atmosphere. I had the lamb sliders with sweet potatoes. It was very well seasoned and the sweet potatoes were boiled wand then baked. I can't wait to go back again.

Our boss found this place when she decided to walk a few blocks and check it out. I have seen this little cafe so many times on my drive into work. Luckily for our office staff she brought back a menu. Quite impressed, like wow they offer some nice dishes at reasonable prices. They also have daily specials. We have ordered delivery a few times now and all of us are very pleased with the quality of their food. Not all but some things are organic, the flavors they put together make every dish wonderful and flavorful. They also cater and offer home delivery for these amazingly delicious meals right to your door. I ordered a Chicken pesto with sun dried tomato paste, mozzarella de buffalo and grilled vegetables. It comes with baby green salad and house vinaigrette for $8.95. The salad was so fresh and crisp, the dressing delicious and the sandwich was a very good size. It had perfectly grilled chicken strips, mozzarella, peppers, onions, pesto oh my so much flavor and huge bonus for having great Foccacia. Some of my co workers have tried their baked salmon with butter lemon, thyme, and white wine and love it. I am looking forward to trying other dishes as they all look so good. Their salads, foccacia sandwiches, desserts and entrees all look wonderful! This may easily be a five star next meal. Thank you for providing us with excellent healthy meals with great delivery service.

Literally my favorite lunch spot in miami. The combination of kick ass friendly service plus delicious dishes makes this a no question go to lunch time destination. My personal favorite is the teriyaki salmon :]

Just tried this restaurant (which I wanted to try for a while) and it has to be one of the worst places to eat. Very disappointing so I am compelled to write a warning to people. Portions are enormous Food tastes (like the restaurant smells) bad! Bathroom very dirty Over priced Not sure how this is popular

Great place for lunch. The food is healthy and very delicious. The place isnt good for groups of more than 10. Dont expect a fancy place. The service is very good.
