    Chicken thighs
    Haley P.

    Place is really nice. Chairs are comfortable. Our server Brianna was fantastic. The food was also fantastic.

    Cheesecake

    This restaurant isn't getting spoken about enough for me !!! Baby is located right in bucked next to the gas station across from superica- I know it's a gas station but hear me out!! This place is more of a Persian restaurant then a "Mediterranean" restaurant in my opinion. I was apprehensive at first because I have been to Mediterranean/person restaurants in Atlanta and I have not enjoyed the food. This place changed my mind entirely. I also want to note that, even though the restaurant itself was very quiet we were one of two groups there, the kitchen was constantly busy with orders and people coming in to collect either Uber eats, DoorDash, whatever! They were cooking around the clock. The two ladies who met us at the front door were really kind and gave us a great table and set some waters down. We ordered a variety of things. For appetizers, we got calamari and hummus with pita. For our main dishes, we ordered falafel, two of their soups, the family platter that had chicken kebab and beef kebab along with steak cuts, and chicken thigh, marinated and grilled. We also ordered grilled vegetable vegetables, and the grilled salmon for my mom who is pescatarian. All of the food came with extra pita for the falafel and the hummus, and it came with a huge plate of rice. The calamari was way too salty - we had to send it back, but they were very apologetic and let us know that there was no way to remake it because it is in a batter and the batter was probably what was salty so there was no coming back from that. Everything else - of all this food was amazing. None of the protein was dry, and I'm so glad. We sat in silence for about five minutes as we took our first bite, and then we all collectively looked up at each other and started laughing because we knew what was going on. LOL! What a great place to have a family dinner on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Even though the playlist was repetitive, and we were the only ones in the restaurant, we had a time! And at the end of the meal, when we were almost ready to go, we were offered complementary dessert because of the issue with the calamari! They gave us two options of a chocolate cheesecake and a sweet pumpkin that had tahini sauce on it. Wow. That pumpkin dessert, I will be thinking about it for a very long time. It was simple, cooked in a light, sweet water, and sitting in a sweet syrup, covered with that nutty tahini sauce. It was great. Very light, not too heavy, especially after eating all of that protein! I have a feeling that we will be back again, even if it is to pick up an Uber eats order. I hope that this place gets more traction and more people come to sit down and dine in the restaurant.

    Persian Tea and Pistachio Baklava
    Myrna E.

    The food is excellent! Very authentic, fresh and flavorful! The Baclava was so good! Not too sweet, not overpowering with the right amount of honey! Service by Kiki was amazing! She was very friendly, informative and passionate about providing the best food! I do not live in Atlanta but will absolutely recommend Banu to my local friends and go back when in town!

    Greek Salad
    Rhonda H.

    Met a girlfriend here for dinner. The outside doesn't do it justice. It shares its walls with a gas station BUT once you step inside the food, ambience and service was a pleasant surprise! Everything was amazing!

    Falafel
    Bonita J.

    We were surprised because the place was next to a gas station, but it was pretty tasty and they were so nice to us. The calamari was to salty but they took it off the check and have all of us free dessert instead. My favorite was the lentil soup and Greek salad, and the roasted vegetables. But I wish the salad had more olives

    Dining Room

    Back at Banu and couldn't be happier. The owner and chef, Kiki has a real talent for cooking and hospitality. We went all out today and had Turkish coffee and lamb shank! It was so tender it fell off the bone and the coffee was served with the most herbaceous and sweet cane sugar. We will return!

We arrived about two hours prior to them closing, which turned out to be perfect, as we beat the crowd and before they stopped taking orders. That was my only negative observation, many people were turned away nearly an hour before closing. I know I would have been upset if I drove all the way to Decatur and couldn't place an order. Hopefully, they will improve their processes so everyone can experience the greatness that they're cooking up! When we arrived, one of the owners greeted us with a lively personality. She handed us menus and told us to select a seat. The seating is spacious, and you can opt to sit at the bar, a table, or outdoors. It's open seating, so it's first come, first served. After selecting a seat, our server arrived shortly thereafter and let us know that the shrimp fries were out of stock before we ordered. We were hungry, so we already knew what we wanted to order. I chose the "THAT SH!T SLAMBING" with feta cheese, initially opting out of the fries, but I don't think the server heard me, and my husband ordered the "Who Wants Beef" with fries. Everything was cooked fresh to order, so there was a slight wait. I would recommend planning accordingly if you're really hungry, as the wait maybe longer than expected. We also shared a Jumex Nectar, as they only had one left. While waiting, I was told they were out of feta cheese, though I saw a dish with feta come out after ours; however, they may have ordered it before us. I was still a bit disappointed, as I believe the feta would have taken my lamb burger to another level. When our food arrived, it was hot and fresh. I was glad I ended up with fries, as I was hungrier than I thought. The burgers were amazing and seasoned to perfection. You can tell the chef is cooking with passion, as you can taste it in every bite. I also appreciate that they utilize farm-to-block sourcing, providing fresh, handcrafted, high-quality food. If you've been considering dining here, don't hesitate any longer, just go! Be sure to arrive early or call ahead for takeout. I highly recommend this place and look forward to visiting again!

Unfortunately, there aren't enough fast food joints with a focus on fresh salads but lucky for me, Doc Green's was right on my pathway for the day. Located in a huge plaza in Smyrna, Doc Green's is a salad lovers dream. I can't believe this was my first visit! The restaurant itself is narrow but long, offering plenty of seating in the back of the place, as well as the entryway. Doc Green's is actually paired with another restaurant it seems, but I was focused on the salad. They have some recommended combos but you can also create your own with a wide array of toppings. I was in heaven looking at all of the fresh veggies, proteins and dressings available. I decided to create my own and just went wild. I was super bummed because I ended up forgetting some favorites (like avocado) because I didn't see/notice them on the cold bar. I chose my dressings, had it mixed up and then checked out. I opted for a fountain drink and unfortunately, the lemonade was toooooo sweet. But that was the only downside because my salad was wonderful!! Everything was fresh, the portions were generous and I felt like I got my money's worth. I'm always in the Akers Mill plaza buying things I don't need so I can't wait to grab another salad at Doc Green's when I'm in the neighborhood!

The homemade sides follow that same theme: simple dishes done very well, the kind of comfort food that feels nostalgic and reminds you of meals you've had at home. At the same time, that simplicity can cut both ways. Since the ingredients and preparations are fairly straightforward, it does feel like the kind of food you could recreate at home without too much trouble. Because of that, it may not be somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit frequently. That said, it's still a great spot overall, and I'd definitely stop in from time to time when I'm in the mood for something comforting and well made.

There are basically 3 separate lines - one for sandwiches, another for pastries/cakes and to pay. We were greeted once it was our turn for the sandwich line. I opted for the egg and cheese on gluten free bread. My hubby got a chicken sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. The egg is definitely not fresh, and made from a carton, so it was okay. We watched as our sandwiches were getting made and were ready within 5 minutes. We then proceeded to the check out line where we can place drink orders. I got a decaf latte with almond milk (but the cashier didn't hear me say almond milk so ended up getting whole milk and my tummy was not happy about it afterwards). The decaf latte was decent and I enjoyed it for the most part. We were able to enjoy our breakfast outside!
