This is an awesome restaurant to savor Mediterranean flavors. The service is excellent and the our meals were delicious and savory. I enjoyed every bite of my Lamb Flatbread! If you enjoy lamb as much as I do, then you’ll enjoy this delight. I ordered the house salad instead of the onion salad as it has become a favorite. My wife enjoyed her Beef Pita with the almond and date salad, which she raved about. We both washed our meals down with a draft Kombucha. The windows and counters were open to the warm sunny day which added to the ambiance. What a delightful experience! We’ll be back again to explore their other Mediterranean offerings. We hope to see you there sometime!

The sweet potato app blew me away! So delicious and unexpected flavor profile, I could have eaten three more! It was my favorite part of the meal but the meatballs and beef pita were phenomenal too. The whole menu sounded delicious, need to go back to try it all!

Amazing experience! Cool decor, unique drinks and great food. Fun twist on on Middle Eastern cuisine that I've never experienced before. Everything was seasoned well and full of flavor. Staff was extremely attentive and kind. Wish I was local to come back more often!

It's just really good food. The fried chicken sandwich is great. Their chicken bowl and the humus were delicious, and the portions were great.

Very fresh and filling. We started with the hummus and sweet potatoes and couldn't finish our bowls. The lavender margarita was delicious! They have adorable decor including stacks of cookbooks.

Sometimes I forget about writing reviews for places that I fall in love with in Sarasota and unfortunately this is one that is well overdue.Florence and the Spice Boys is one of our favorite restaurants in Sarasota, as they excel in serving delicious modern Middle Eastern fusion-inspired dishes amidst an eclectic and social media-worthy atmosphere. Their bowls are truly a work of art and taste as good as they look.However the true standout is the Spice Boys Cookie. We have been known to indulge in handfuls of these cookies during our visits. The cookie boasts a super secret recipe incorporating Goldfish crunch, toffee pieces, and chocolate chips, guaranteeing a satisfying and unforgettable treat!!

I’m so picky. I travel the globe and sample the local cuisines, so my standards and expectations are very high. I find most restaurants to be somewhere between “meh” and barely more than ordinary. This place? AMAZING! Such great food! Creative and flavorful (everything we had was wonderful). This is a must try!
