    200+ for ONE bottle of vodka. No thanks, the staff and ambience was sweet but the prices were double anything around here.

    Celebrated my birthday here and it was a perfect night - 5 stars all the way…read more Chrissy was our server and honestly the epitome of great service. Super attentive without hovering, gave spot-on recommendations, and was playful, funny, and genuinely kind. You can tell she loves meeting people, and it made the whole table feel celebrated. Food was way better than I expected for a hookah lounge. Get the oysters - fresh and perfect - and the pesto garlic bread is a must. Seriously addictive. And the hookah? SLAPS. Smooth, flavorful, and they keep it going without you having to ask. The ambiance is very Atlanta in the best way: flowery walls for photos, eclectic cozy seating, great music, dim lighting, total vibe. We stayed way longer than planned because we didn't want to leave. Already planning my return. If you're in Sandy Springs, book a table here!

    Five stars isn't enough for Moustache Hookah Bar…read more From the moment I sat down, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and intentional. But let's talk about the food because it deserves its own spotlight. The hummus was unbelievably fresh. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced with olive oil and seasoning. You can taste that it's made with care, not just scooped from a container. And the jajeh kabobs? Tender, juicy, and seasoned all the way through. Every bite had that straight-off-the-grill flavor that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate it. What really took the night over the top was the hospitality. The owner heard it was my birthday and didn't just send a quick "happy birthday" from afar. He came out from the back himself, brought out complimentary cheesecake, and even took a couple shots of tequila with me. That's not customer service. That's genuine celebration. Great food. Smooth hookah. Real hospitality. I walked in for dinner and left feeling like family. If you're looking for a spot that feeds you well and celebrates you loud, this is it.

    This was literally in the same parking lot as the gas station…read more The people inside were supper nice.. bartender was awesome, and even the door guy was really nice. The food was really good! Top notch flavor. I really didn't expect this when we walked in. After a bit this place transformed into a dance club with a DJ, they cleared the tables off the floor, set up the lights and then the place was bumping! It never really got busy but they had only been open for a little while back then. It was a cool find! Interesting to say the least... but I am still surprised about the food. It was high end good food!

    This place was a huge disappointment. We had reservations and were seated right away, but that was…read morethe only smooth part of the night. After sitting for 25 minutes with no greeting, we stopped the hostess to ask if we could order. She seemed surprised that no one had helped us and came back about five minutes later to take our full order. It took 45 minutes after being seated to finally get our drinks. The excuse? "No clean wine glasses." At that point, I would have gladly taken my wine in any clean glass they had. The only reason we stayed was because the band was genuinely good. Meanwhile, the food runner wandered from table to table "auctioning off" dishes because he clearly didn't know where anything belonged. When our food arrived, it actually tasted good - but the service issues overshadowed everything. After we finished eating, our server disappeared again. We eventually had to get up and find her just to get our checks. Part of our friends' order ended up on our bill, but we didn't bother waiting for her to correct it. To top it off, there was a random 3% service charge (for what?) and an automatic 20% gratuity added because there was a band. Not cool, especially given the terrible service. The entire restaurant felt unprepared and overwhelmed, and no one ever apologized for the extremely long waits. Will I go back? Probably not. The prices are far too high for the level of service we received.

    Service and the ambience was awesome. Our server was friendly and professional. I've been to…read moreJamaica several times and wanted to try something new, I ordered curry seafood rundown with sorrel soda. My friend ordered the two protein combination. We could have shared hers! Her choices were oxtails and jerk chicken with collard greens and Mac and cheese. I'm literally going back to order what she had. The curry was sweet with a little heat. The collard greens had some heat, too, but the Mac and cheese smooths it out. We would have gotten dessert but we had to rush to a concert. My friend says the desserts are exquisite. Tonight's special was a white chocolate bread pudding with Bailey's. I came back later!!! I had an errand which drove me right past here. I got that white chocolate bread pudding and the two protein combination. There was so much meat. I wish I had more sides. As anticipated, the food was delicious. When my Bestie and fellow YELP VIP comes to visit, I am taking her here.

Also a heads up - they do not offer complimentary water. They have bottled water, which is $3 each. The server - just couldn't be bothered. We had questions and she acted put out that we expected answers and assistance.

    I absolutely love Mashawi. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the metro Atlanta area…read more The first thing that stands out is how incredibly clean everything is. The restaurant is always spotless, and the ambiance is warm, inviting, and beautiful. The food is consistently amazing. My favorites are the baba ganoush, hummus, fresh pita, pickles, olives, pickled beets, cabbage, and lentil soup. I actually never liked baba ganoush until I tried it here, and now it's one of my favorite things on the menu. Their lentil soup is also one of the best I've had in the Atlanta area. I love the tabbouleh as well, and there are plenty of delicious vegan options to choose from. The all-you-can-eat concept is a huge bonus because there are so many fresh and flavorful dishes to enjoy. As a vegan, I always have plenty of options and leave feeling satisfied. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I eat here often sometimes multiple times a week and the quality never disappoints. If you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food, a beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible value, Mashawi is a must-visit. 10/10 recommend.

    So my friend and I came here for a late lunch and she ordered the lunch option for one. She came…read morefrom far so I wanted to give her some company and joined her. I had already ate since it was late but she had a long drive back and decided to stop by this place which is only 10 mins from me. The manager or owner came by to see what I wanted to eat and I told him I am only here to spend time with my friend and not eat since I already ate. He felt offended some way so I said "I will share with my friend" please tell me in what language does share with my friend mean I want TWO orders of the lunch option? You can only order lunch or dinner that has a preset menu. Which includes couple of meats, dips and pita. We received one individual bowl of each item that was listed out, one basket of pita, and one set of meats. We got the bill and there were two lunch orders, so we told the server mind you he had been coming to our table the whole time and then sends his server to take our bill. We informed the server that we only ordered one lunch and we were being overcharged, manager then comes and said it was two orders and walks away. This is the first time I've encountered anything like that so beware! It's sad that he could not honor what was explicitly told and did this to us, because the food was good and I really wanted to bring my family here but not after this deceit
