Alhambra

Choose from both Spanish and Mediterranean plates at this family restaurant in Southwest Miami-Dade. Try herbal and aromatic grape leaves, or "Greek fries" doused with lime juice and feta cheese. Crusty cracked wheat encases spiced ground beef in fried kibbe. Skip the salad and go for a lamb pita with tahini sauce; it's not neat eating, but it's tasty. Baklava is flaky, sweet and not too greasy.
