Do not miss this spot in Clarkston Market! We visited for our first time today and found all of the food to be fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The diner is small and very clean. The owner came out to greet us. We had the chicken shawarma plate without rice so we got to pick two more vegetable sides in addition to the stuffed grape leaves. We chose the grilled squash and zucchini, the okra stew, and the white bean stew. We ordered larger sides of hummus and tabbouleh with fresh hot and crunchy pita chips. The chicken was very tender and tasty and the Iraqi Style Mango sauce was a nice condiment for it. Overall, excellent food and service. We will be back! read more

The food and service was amazing. It's a mom and pop restaurant with fresh Middle Eastern food. I ordered the Koba and beef shawarma and it was delicious. It is a small hidden gem in Clarkston. I highly recommend to try their food. read more

This is THE best falafel in Atlanta- trust me I know! I just asked him to cater a dinner for 15 friends and it was OUTSTANDING. Amazing food and such a great price. Their sauces are amazing. ( REAL garlic sauce- rare to find !) We also got the chicken kabob and chicken shawarma. Amazing! read more

Delicious food at great prices. I had the falafel bowl, which came with a drink and your choice of sides. I had tabuleh and an eggplant type stew, both were very tasty. The rest of our group had the various meat dishes and everyone was raving about the food. You order a counter and sit outside either at tables and chairs or picnic tables, no indoor seating. The restaurant is in a new business development that is very nicely designed. read more

Al Chef Mediterranean Cuisine - Iraqi kebab, yellow rice, grape leaves, veggies. - Salad Near Me - Clarkston, Georgia

This little restaurant is great! Fresh, tasty, healthy foods at very reasonable prices. Baked goods are also amazing! Fresh lemonade and hibiscus tea were available too - delicious! They have a nice offering of some healthy, high-quality packaged snacks and beverages, as well. The place is clean, nicely appointed, and bright - located in the lovely Clarkston Market. You can eat in, eat at a picnic table on the grassy square just outside, or do take-out. The owner - who lives locally - came out from the kitchen, and talked about his many years of preparing fine vegetarian dishes, and to share stories of his start in the restaurant business; he's a very interesting, upbeat, and creative man! He gave me a sample of freshly-made falafel - to die for! His daughter was sweet, and happily described some of the baked goods they offered. This small family-owned restaurant will be my new favorite place, for sure. read more

The restaurant was Clean the staff pleasant. The food spiced well and fresh. I'll be back soon.

We had some amazing falafel here! We also tried the fig pastries, which are made in-house, along with some other delicious sweets that we will have to stop in to purchase another time! The staff were really kind and friendly, too. read more

Al Chef Mediterranean Cuisine - Truly amazing falafel and distinctively tasty hummus - Salad Near Me - Clarkston, Georgia

The food was fantastic! Sampler platter and it was all very good. I finally found a place that makes a good falafel! We are at the picnic benches outside this takeout place. read more

Al Chef serves authentic Mediterranean food. Particularly, the falafel was the best I've had in my life. Honorable mentions are baklava, beef, lamb, and baba ganoush. Highly recommend getting the Chef's plate platter if you are with a group of people! One of the hidden gems in ATL! When I went, the owner/Father and son were working together, which I thought was cute. I am considering catering from them for a small event in the future. I am quite surprised that there is such a large discrepancy between the yelp and google ratings. I think google less biased bc there are fewer reasons for google to shift reviews. read more

Came here with the family on a random evening and tried Al Chef for dinner. Everything was so delicious! The shawarma wraps, beef kufta and felafel were so good! We chatted with the owners who are long time Clarkston residents and so enjoyed the warmth and authenticity. We will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

Ordered the Iraqi lamb, with red rice and chicken as a side. But, I guess the chicken became the main entree because I got no Iraqi lamb in my Iraqi lamb order. read more

This was an ubereats order. Really unseasoned roasted veggies. No seasoning in anything actually. Babaganoush has no salt. My combo was supposed to come pita and salad, which were not included. I was very surprised because the reviews were good. I feel fooled and I can't even get my money back... read more
