    Everything we tried at this restaurant was delicious (except the rice that's cooked in butter, way too much butter and I did not like the buttery oily taste). The hummus was excellent so the lavash, chicken kebab and eggplant dip. We did not like the roasted cauliflower as most parts of the sides were completely burned black and the tahini aioli sauce on top was way too much, overpowering the whole cauliflower and very spicy. The ambiance was very beautiful and cozy, the customer service was also great. We would definitely come again.

    smoked bass and labneh
    Keilab A.

    Delbar is a staple in the Atlanta food scene. I came for dinner on a Friday evening without reservations, and was seated within 5 minutes. First of all, the restaurant is breathtakingly beautiful. We sat on their covered patio and I loved the natural, colorful decor. They provide a complimentary sabzi plate (feta, walnuts, radishes, and herbs) and taftoun (flatbread). My friend and I shared the smoked bass and labneh (yogurt) to start. The bass was incredible! Super flavorful and flaky. The plain labneh was on the blander side, so I'd prob order the dill labneh if you are choosing between the two. Our mains included the tender hanger steak and perfectly cooked polo sefid (crispy basmati rice). Service was quick and friendly too. I'd highly recommend this spot.

    Great for the vibes but overpriced and slow service. The food was good, but I'm not sure if I would continue paying for the price point when there is plenty of Mediterranean around the city. The ambience is good for a date night or if I had a family coming in town and wanted to impress them overall service was a bit slow and it took us a long time to get seated and get our dishes.

    Delbar Buckhead has the BEST PATIO!
    Renita F.

    Delbar Buckhead absolutely lived up to the hype. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, but the real standouts were the trio of dips. The tzatziki was incredibly fresh and creamy, the hummus was silky smooth with rich flavor, and the smoky eggplant dip topped with onions was unforgettable, I could have happily made an entire meal out of those alone. We ended the evening with the pistachio cake and soft serve ice cream, and wow... the perfect ending. The cake was moist with just the right amount of sweetness, and the creamy soft serve complemented it beautifully. What made the experience even more memorable was the hospitality. Jason, the General Manager, stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect and surprised us with complimentary dessert. That level of genuine hospitality is becoming rare these days, and it made us feel truly appreciated as guests. Delicious food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere! Delbar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite restaurants in Buckhead. I can't wait to return.

    Wings

    This location has the most beautiful ambiance and atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly. I will say our service was a little slow but I've been before and it wasn't so it might have just been an off day. Every time I come, I get an order of the wings. The wings are a MUST. Delbar also has the most refreshing zero proof drinks and cocktails. The heirloom tomato salad was flavorful and so fresh, it paired perfectly with the wings. I'll be back to explore more menu items and sit at the patio when the weather is a cooler.

    Amazing food. Good service. Great ambiance. Will be suggesting to all my Atlanta friends.

    Came to Delbar for a business lunch this afternoon. The restaurant is located in buckhead but they do have other locations. This particular location was absolutely beautiful on the inside and the restrooms were clean- a plus. The service was fast and my salad was very flavorful. I'll definitely be back to try more options.

    Chinjeh & honey harissa chicken
    Amelia C.

    Arrived late on a Friday night with no reservation at the Buckhead location. There is a parking deck nearby that they validate (information on their website). We did not have to wait 10 minutes for a table to open up in their covered outdoor area. The ambiance is very turnkey with low lighting, upscale but not formal. Also lamps at the table to read the menu. The service was excellent. Kind and boxed your leftovers for you. Made sure waters were full. Very informed about the menu and was able to provide recommendations. Favorite part of the meal. The food was prepared to perfection. They start you with some naan bread and some toppings for it (complimentary). For an appetizer we ordered the kashk bademjoon. It was tasty, but I found it hard to taste the individual flavors. For our mains we ordered the honey harissa chicken (my favorite part of the meal) and the chinjeh which is a beef dish. Both cooked to perfection. This is definitely a place for people who like spices! Additionally we got the sabzi polo (rice) which was very rich in flavor. The meet dishes came with some pickled veggies which was my highlight of the meal. This is a very unique place with high quality dishes. However, I think it is up to personal preference whether people like this style of food, but there is something for everyone here. Recommend to try at least once while in the city.

    Feta Cheese and Veggie Appetizer
    Carlo G.

    I had a great dining experience at this upscale Middle Eastern restaurant in Atlanta! Getting a reservation here can get competitive, so my friend made sure to make a reservation almost 2 weeks in advance for a group of 3. For food, we shared the following dishes:  - Pita Bread with Feta Cheese and Veggie Complimentary Appetizer: A balanced and good quality appetizer! The pita bread was warm, fluffy and nutty. My group especially liked the feta cheese so much that we had to order another round of it. - Hummus with shroom, shishito, and egg: This hummus was creamy and good. I also liked the toppings we added which added more flavor, richness, and overall depth. This also came with warm pita for dipping. - Hormuz Island Cocktail: Sweet and refreshing. It paired well with the food and I like the fruitiness of the lychee flavor. - Omani Shrimp: Absolutely delicious. Jumbo, juicy and flavorful shrimp that was even more flavorful with the side dip.  - Sabzi Polo: A renowned dish that I was a bit disappointed with. The rice was not very flavorful on its own and I did not enjoy the crispy top which was on the harder rather than crispy side. It was a good grain to go along with the meats though and the portion was big. - Lamb Kabob: This was good, but tasted and felt more like steak rather than lamb even though we asked for it rare. I wish this was more tender. Not the biggest fan of the tough pita it was served on. - Seabass: Insanely good, 100/10. The fish was buttery, flaky, flavorful and just melts in your mouth.Will be thinking about this fish for a while. Same sentiments like the lamb towards the pita it was served on though. - Spring Pea Salad: Good, but not mind-blowing in my opinion. It was a unique salad dish that my table generally enjoyed. It was a fresh element that went well with the rich dishes. The service here was great and our server gave us good recommendations upon request. I also appreciate the effort she put into making sure my walnut allergy was taken care of. The ambiance of this place is gorgeous. A great spot for dates, group celebrations, and intimate gatherings. It is a bit dark inside though, but I generally enjoyed the mood lighting. Overall, a great restaurant that I would come back to again! Would recommend this chain to anyone visiting Atlanta.

    First time trying Persian food and honestly, I wasn't ready. Parking: Garage + validation or $20 valet. Choose your own adventure. Vibes: Whether you're here for a business meeting, casual lunch with girlfriends or by yourself..you're in the right spot. Service: They checked on us so much I started to feel famous. Detailed, helpful, on point...zero complaints. Sea Bass: I'm convinced this fish lived a stress‑free life because it was that tender. Melted in my mouth. Flavor for days. I just sat there blinking. Chicken Barg: Ridiculously flavorful. Juicy. Tender. I had a small emotional moment. Barg: LINDAAAAA LISTEN ... I have trauma from chewy mystery meats. This was the opposite. Every bite was tender, juicy, and seasoned like someone's grandmother was watching. Rice: Adas Polo wasn't my thing, but the Sabzi Polo......*chefs kiss* I'd fight someone for the last bite. Bottom line: First Persian meal and I'm 100% impressed. Everything slapped. 5/5 we'd come again!

    Do you like to travel but just can't get that vacation time? Well look no further than Del Bar, this breathtaking restaurant transports you to Iran with its traditional Persian dishes with influences from countries like Turkey, Lebanon, and Iraq. The interior is a luxurious sanctuary defined by its rich textiles, handwoven rugs, flora, and opulent colors. On my many visits I've gotten a plethora of dishes that have been all divine. They start you off with a complimentary sabzi plate that comes with feta, salt-water soaked walnuts, radishes, tarragon, watercress, & mint that serve as an opener and a palate cleanser in between dishes. I would recommend you order the hummus & top it off with savory lamb. As for the main course I was partial to hanger steak and the shishlik [Lamb Chops]. It's all à la cart style, so you must get the adas polo rice! Delicious is an understatement! Their drink menus doesn't fall short and since I'm partial to cucumber I recommend the Sharbat e Sekanjaben , you will not be disappointed! Of course I had to get dessert! I can't decide which one is better the baklava or the pistachio lava cake! Get both, life is too short. The staff gave excellent service that often was felt rather than seen and they anticipate our needs without being intrusive, ensuring a seamless dining experience. They have valet parking at a $10 cost. This place is perfect for any accession. Don't cheat yourself but treat yourself and make a reservation asap!

    Harissa Chicken

    This place is premium right from entry to exit. The two ladies standing by the entrance were absolutely friendly and welcoming Food: Food was absolutely delicious. We went with the recommendations given to us by the waiter and she was probably the best. I forgot her name (sorry) but, it was cooked perfectly well and tasted really good and the portion size was perfect that we had leftovers as well Service: Service was top notch. She recommended from each section and I love that the menu isn't massive. Ambience: Absolutely loved the design of this place. The ambience from the entry to exit to the bathrooms, everything stood out. The decor and all of it was something that made us feel like the price we paid for was worth it but not only because of the decor but because it did taste good. The rice we got, I didn't like the burnt portion on top but otherwise, it was all really good

Unfortunately, we did have a very disappointing experience regarding my daughter's Louis Vuitton bracelet. When we arrived, she was wearing the bracelet, and we later looked back at the photos we took that evening. The photos clearly show that she had the bracelet on her arm when we were seated. She never left the table or changed seats, yet in photos taken later, the bracelet was no longer on her wrist. Because it was late at night and the restaurant was closing, we believe the bracelet may have been lost at the table while we were dining. We contacted the restaurant afterward, but unfortunately, we were told that no one had found it. This was extremely disappointing, especially because when you dine at a reputable restaurant, you expect that if a valuable personal item is found, the staff or another guest will make every effort to return it to its owner. We understand that accidents happen and that items can be misplaced, but the fact that the bracelet was clearly with her when we arrived and disappeared while she remained seated at the table is very concerning. We truly enjoyed the food and the service, which makes this situation even more disappointing.

The perfect balance. The food - just incredible. We all got something different and I got to taste each one. The Chicken Barg Kabob was everyone's favorite. The Chicken kabob is VERY close though. I got the Soltani which was also amazing. The thing to do though is sub out the Zereshk Polo rice. You won't regret it. I got a little adventurous and ordered the Torshi - pickled vegetables. I'm not really into vegetables and I was a little worried when it showed up and didn't look very appealing to me - but it was SO good. Loved it. The staff were seemingly entertained that I liked it - apparently it's only Persian people that are into it, and they kind of laughed when I wanted to take the leftovers with me. My son liked it too though! And he's picky. We were getting ready to go when suddenly they brought an ice cream and wished me happy birthday. I think they heard my son wish me a happy birthday at dinner. Just really paying attention to detail. So this bright yellow Persian ice cream shows up. I've never had it. It is really different - like a cross between dinner and desert flavors. That doesn't sound good but trust me it's great. Again, my picky son loved it! It's got a saffron-pistachio-rose thing going on that actually really works! Much of this is probably very familiar to those who have enjoyed Persian food before. For our family it was a new and wonderful experience. I love this restaurant and DEFINITELY want to come back for Father's day. This is going to be my new special occasion spot.

    The food is superb. True authentic Persian food. I'm Persian myself. This comes as close to home…read morecooking in a traditional way as one can get. Service was excellent and the spacious, friendly ambiance makes it all come together.

    Pricey..., but also fantastic…read more I loved the food, some of which was familiar, and some of which was completely new to me. A nice place for a special occasion, but not for everyday meals. We had 4 adults and one 3 year old. We got out for something in the neighborhood of of $240. Ordering is ala carte: we had 3 meats, 3 sides, drinks. We had a very small bit left over. Decor was excellent. A beautiful entryway, muted lighting, muted noise. Service was attentive, friendly, and very helpful. While I'd love to return regularly, price makes that impossible, but it was definitely worth this visit. It will be up for consideration next time we have something big to celebrate.

    As a longtime San Francisco Bay Area foodie, I've been spoiled by incredible international food and…read morebold, complex flavors, so I'm always excited when I find a restaurant that delivers that same sense of discovery. Delbar absolutely does. The food here stands on its own--layered, interesting and incredibly delicious. I had been looking forward to dinner at Delbar Old Milton for two reasons: a long-overdue dinner with an old colleague and a serious craving for Middle Eastern food. After battling Atlanta-area traffic from Marietta--it took nearly an hour for what should have been about a 30-minute drive--I was ready to settle in, catch up and EAT. I'd previously been to Delbar in Inman Park with a group and loved it, so expectations were high. Old Milton did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Warm, sophisticated and beautifully designed, with a Persian rug welcoming you along the entrance and complimentary valet parking--a huge plus. The young valet team was impressively polished and efficient. I started with a Paper Plane, apparently my new financially irresponsible cocktail habit. Delicious, but these things are expensive! I blame the Italian liqueur. Two cocktails pushed north of $40, so perhaps I need a more economical signature drink. Then came the food. We started with the beet carpaccio: red beets, whipped feta, burnt honey, sour orange, pistachio and almond dukkha. Beautifully balanced--earthy, creamy, sweet, tart and nutty all at once. I let my dinner companion take over ordering from there, which proved to be an excellent decision. The Bandari Olovieh was the surprise of the evening: saffron-marinated smoked salmon with cream cheese, dill, chives, jalapeño purée, potatoes, Aleppo pepper, urfa, hot sauce, fried capers and cornichons, served with saffron potato chips. I'm not usually a salmon person, yet I loved this. The salmon was mild and delicate without the stronger flavor I sometimes associate with salmon or trout. And those saffron potato chips? Dangerous. I could happily eat a bowl of them. We also had the koobideh kabob, made with ground beef brisket and lamb shoulder with onion and saffron, served over taftoun with grilled pepper, tomato and sumac onions. Tender, juicy and packed with flavor. Wrapped in that bread, it was almost like the world's most delicious little Middle Eastern slider. By then, we were DONE. I had every intention of trying dessert, but there was simply no room. It was also getting late, and work was waiting for both of us the next morning. Next visit. Service throughout dinner was friendly and knowledgeable. This is a menu where good servers matter. Ours could explain the dishes and ingredients rather than simply take an order, and that added to the experience. Two small notes on the space. If Atlanta is doing its summertime furnace impression, I'd avoid tables near the doors leading to the patio. Every time they opened, a blast of hot air rolled through. Sit farther inside and enjoy the AC. And while I loved the Persian rug and overall design, the faux flowers and wisteria covering the entrance pergola weren't my favorite. Atlanta sun is brutal on anything artificial, and the rest of the restaurant is sophisticated enough that the entrance deserves something equally polished. Those are minor quibbles. The important part is this: Delbar is serving seriously delicious food in a beautiful setting with thoughtful service. If you're anywhere around Alpharetta or Roswell, make the detour. This place is not to be missed. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal! Sorry, no photos;(

    Looking for a cute, classy Turkish restaurant in the heart of Virginia Highlands. This is your…read morespot! I went for happy hour which I highly recommend. It's from 3-6pm Monday through Thursday (I believe). They have $6-8 cocktails and a variety of food in the $5-10 range. The food was all fantastic, as was our waiter. He constantly checked on us, kept the complimentary bread supplied, and gave great recs for both food and cocktails. I love a waiter who explains the menu so you know what you're getting into beforehand. As we were leaving, it was torrentially down-pouring and the host was so kind to let me borrow his umbrella to get to my car. It's rare to find this level of hospitality these days and it made my already great experience here even better.

    Not bad but in a city with as much great Middle Eastern food as Atlanta, it only makes sense to…read morereach beyond Truva. Spots I would rather recommend for a nice night out are Delbar, Rumi's, and Yalda. My friends and I tried the Muhammara Dip, the Feta Cheese Rolls (reminiscent of spanakopita but no spinach and in roll form), the Truva Dumplings, and the Iskender Kebab. The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.
