Great spot for lunch or a quick meal.
The ham croquetas are great! Media noche was delicious and the service was on point. Ask for the yellow dipping sauce for the croquetas! Elevated them to that yum yum level.

Definitely a hidden gem! It's in a strip mall, in the back. A regular storefront, but WOW! Once you step in you're in a whole difficult place. Decorations are very tasteful, the wall has some super funny "Cuban sayings". The staff is so welcoming and nice. The owners are the chef I believe and his wife is so nice and attentive. The food, was amazing, we had the black paella which was so delicious. We had some croquetas mixtas which were amazing as well. Definitely coming back here to try the amazing selections on the menu. Don't hesitate to try this place, Thank me later.

This is another review much overdue but I have been a long time fan of Odaly's since it’s one of the best Cuban diners/hidden gems in Miami! First off, I love the croquetas here that are significantly better than other local spots in the area. Order them and try them, you’ll see exactly what I mean. They’re are much creamier than most and I love the breading they use for them. If you’re a croqueta lover like me then you won’t mind having a couple croquetas and then ordering yourself a CROQUETA BURGER. That’s right! I had never seen one on a menu before so knew I had to try it, and yes, it lives up to all the glorious expectations you have. For the great price of $5 its served on a toasty bun with a house mayo sauce and papitas fritas---all complimenting the large croqueta patty. The patty’s exterior was nice and crispy but the middle wasn’t at al too soft or mushy like you might expect. I would definitely recommend trying it especially since I have no idea who else is making this genius idea!

I also came on Ox-Tail day which is always a personal favorite so had to order that. Served Cuban style with green olives and red peppers, it was delicious! The perfect amount of saltiness and fattiness in the juice that I ate alongside my rice. Eating it really made me think it’d taste exactly as it would if I ordered it in Cuban---the crazy thoughts I think while eating, but it was that good. The ox-tail came with two sides so I had moros (mixed rice and black beans) and tostones (fried plantains). The tostones were wonderful and larger than my hand which was a nice side. The only thing that lacked in my meal was the moros which were way too dry for my taste and a bit grainy, maybe I just caught them on a bad day for that one. Definitely, won’t stop me from being a customer here especially since the customer service here is always so friendly and everyone makes you feel like family. Love that, love them, definitely worth checking out!

This is a hidden gem in Westchester that serves authentic Cuban food. The croquetas and the cheese tequeño with green sauce were delicious, and the garbanzo soup was great. My brother ordered the Monster Burger and he really liked it. The burger comes in a pretzel bun topped with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar, and their homemade sauce. Be sure to try the “disco volador de guayaba y queso”, a Cuban classic that you don’t find everywhere in Miami. With exceptional service and a diverse menu, I highly recommend Odaly’s Delight Cafe. Here are some pictures, including one with Chef Hiram!
PS: they open Monday - Friday business hours, and they do excellent catering!!!

I have worked in the hospitality industry for over a decade and found few people like Hiram to work with! In the past few years, I have used his catering services for work and personal events; it is a pleasure to work with him. To begin with, the food from Odaly’s Cafe is EXCELLENT. Quality ingredients, fantastic flavor, everything tastes fresh. Every time I hire him for an event, everyone is amazed by the quality of the food, which is not something you often find in catered food. Then comes the piece of how reliable this business is…. always responsive, always on time. Hiram goes out of his way to make his clients happy, work with your budget, and work around your needs. I can’t recommend him, his catering services and restaurant enough! 5+!

From the moment I stepped into this charming Cuban fusion restaurant nestled in the vibrant heart of Westchester, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and sophisticated, setting the stage for a culinary experience that's as delightful as it is memorable.At the helm of this culinary adventure is a chef who is not just professional, but genuinely friendly and eager to please. It's rare to find someone so passionate about their craft, yet so approachable. For those who appreciate the finer things in life, their unique selection of wines is a breath of fresh air. Curated with care, it features gems you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in Miami, elevating the dining experience to new heights.Now, let's talk about the paella. As someone who is exceedingly picky about this dish, I can confidently say this restaurant's paella transcends expectations. The shrimp, lobster, mussels, and calamari were unmistakably fresh, and the dish was cooked to absolute perfection, complete with the coveted socarrat that aficionados of paella will instantly recognize and appreciate. It's this attention to detail and commitment to quality that truly sets this restaurant apart.

Don't just take my word for it—go and experience the magic for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
