Six years after opening its doors in Pembroke Pines, Sufrat Mediterranean Grill is celebrating with $6 menu specials, a $200 gift card giveaway, and news that its flagship restaurant is about to get a lot bigger. The anniversary lands on Nov. 12, and the celebration stretches across all three of the brand's South Florida locations.
According to Miami's Community News, the brandwide celebration includes a six-item menu featuring select favorites for $6 each all day, available at every location. The lineup draws from staples like hummus, kibbeh, Greek salad, a lamb gyro sandwich, shrimp kebabs and the Morocco Mojito, giving longtime fans a taste of the dishes that built the brand.
The Pembroke Pines flagship, where it all began, is going all out for the occasion. The restaurant is hosting belly dancing performances at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., along with a DJ spinning throughout the celebration, per the same report.
A Giveaway With Strings Attached
Running from Nov. 5 through Nov. 12, the giveaway offers one $200 gift card to a lucky winner. To enter, fans need to like the giveaway post, comment with a favorite Sufrat memory, tag one person, and share the post to their Instagram story, the report notes. An extra entry is available for anyone who shares a favorite photo taken at Sufrat to their Instagram story and tags the brand's handle, @sufratgrill.
Owner Tamer Altillawi framed the milestone as a community achievement rather than a solo one. “It wouldn’t be possible without the support of our guests and the community that has welcomed Sufrat into their lives,” Altillawi said, as quoted in the restaurant's anniversary release.
From One Location to Three — and Counting
Sufrat's growth has been steady since its early days. The brand says it was founded in 2020 in Pembroke Pines, according to its own company website, and has since expanded from that single restaurant to three locations across South Florida. A 2020 report from the Sun Sentinel detailed the original Pines City Center restaurant's soft opening in November of that year, followed by a grand opening on Dec. 17, with a menu built around kebabs, lamb and beef cheeseburgers, salads, soups, sandwiches, healthy bowls, gyros and shawarma.
Today, Sufrat operates in Pembroke Pines at Pines City Center, in Miami Beach at 1570 Alton Road, and in Doral inside Doral Yard at 8455 Northwest 53rd Street, per the company's locations page. Each spot serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with regular hours running from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday.
The restaurant chain was founded by brothers Tamer, Ahmad and Samer Altillawi, who hail from Jordan, according to a report from OUTSFL. That same report notes that expansion plans are already underway to bring additional locations to South Florida, though specific sites and timing haven't been disclosed.
Flagship Expansion in the Works
Alongside the anniversary festivities, Sufrat announced plans to expand its Pembroke Pines flagship into adjacent space, with completion expected in early 2027. The expansion is set to add a 2,200-square-foot addition that includes a full-service bar, additional seating and dance space, and a dining room designed for private and corporate events, per Miami's Community News.
For now, the focus is on the six-year celebration itself — a chance for the family-founded chain to thank the guests who followed it from one Pembroke Pines storefront to three locations across the region. More details on the anniversary specials and giveaway are available through Sufrat's website at sufratgrill.com.
