We really enjoyed our experience at the restaurant. The food was excellent, and our waiter was truly outstanding--attentive, professional, and very pleasant. 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. We sincerely hope the restaurant will take another look into the matter and speak with the staff who were working that evening. read more

Ryan had a great personality, was very helpful and catered to our needs without any issue. made our night!

Staff were amazing especially Mikola so sweet. We tried the roasted grilled oysters and it was so fresh and flavorful. We did date night here with wine and my husband tried their peach old fashion. I enjoyed the cute atmosphere in a private room with cute lamp. When we visit Atlanta again this is a must stop. read more

My first time visit to Divan was simply DIVINE! This hidden gem in the heart of Midtown is a must try! The ambiance was pretty chill, and far from pretentious. The excellent customer service was welcoming, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. Huge thanks to Manager Farid (the complimentary Saffron Ice Cream was delicious pleasant surprise!), Bartender Jeremy, and David in the upstairs hookah area (try the Spring Blossom blend)! The delicious food tastes something like I've never had before and the pairings are quite unique! Can't wait to return! read more

Cool place with outstanding food!! Everything we got made us audibly say "wow." Can't wait to come back from California to try more things! They were out of mussels, so we got shrimp instead -- do NOT skip them. So fire. The kashke bademjaan is also a must-have. The duck leg confit was unbelievable!! For mains, we got the lamb chops (the star of the table and huge), the lamb shank (so comforting and tender), and the sea bass (flaky, crispy, and I could've licked the fava bean purée off the plate!!) We got too many appetizers and were so full by the end, but those leftovers hit the next day. We were too late for hookah, but next time. Beautiful vibe inside! Valet parking only, I believe, unless you get lucky. read more

I've always really enjoyed Divan throughout the years. The food is flavorful and delicious and the staff is always so friendly. On this particular occasion, the valet staff was extremely rude to me and my party. We didn't let it ruin the evening. We enjoyed our dinner and when the manager came by to check on us, we told him about our experience (with no expectations) but he did give us desserts and I believed and a round of drinks on the house. He was an excellent manager. Absolutely amazing customer service. On to the food, the mussels were my favorite and outstanding. Everything we had was amazing. I highly recommend the wings as well. If you are looking for something lighter and still flavorful, the cauliflower is a really good choice. I didn't get it on this occasion but the salmon pasta is delicious and one of my favorite dishes. I took off one star because although our waiter was friendly, it took him a very long time to check on us and bring us the bill. I had to find him to ask him to bring us the check and as you can see from the pictures, it wasn't super busy at all. Also took off the one star because parking can be a hassle. read more

We approached the restaurant and pulled in the valet parking line right in front. I think this is your best choice. It is only $10, plus credit card fee and tip. The valet attendant took my phone number, sent me a text and said click the link 5 mins before I was ready to pick up the car. We entered and headed for the check-in desk. I informed them of my reservation, they checked us in and asked if we could stand to the side for a few minutes. We were quickly greeted by another hostess who led us upstairs to our table and provided menus. We started to review the menu and noticed the beer selection was pretty small, with only about eight choices. Our server, Zee, came over and immediately made us feel welcome. This was our 1st visit and I heard the place was called the "Castle" with 4 different levels. I had all types of questions about the menu and layout. Our server was ready for it all. He explained we were seated in the main dining room, on level 2. Levels 3 and 4 had some outside seating, event space and some open lounge areas. I would definitely have to go on a recon mission later to check out the other levels. As far as the menu was concerned, Zee started to give us his recommendation for appetizers and entrees. Listing some of his favorites and other popular dishes. At this point we only decided on the beers we wanted. We both ordered a Turkish beer called Efes. Zee went to get our beers and we continued to review and discuss the menu. We were contemplating a few things as our beers arrived. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share; the PEI Mussels and the Tandoori Wings. For our main entrees, I ordered the Springer Mtn Saffron Chicken Kabob and Wifey ordered the Garlic Shrimp. Zee came to the rescue again, informing us that both of our dishes came with a huge amount of rice and suggested we substitute one order of rice with another side. We decided to keep Wifey's Dill Basmati rice and I would get the sautéed green bean. When he found out we were local to Atlanta he said he thinks we just found our new favorite restaurant. As we were waiting I was looking at other people's plates and the food looked delicious. Our beers and appetizers arrived quickly and we started digging in. The Tandoori wings were falling off the bone tender and seasoned well. Wifey was the first to taste the muscles and she loved them. I tasted them and we agreed the broth the mussels were cooked with and also sitting in the bowl was the star of the dish. That broth was excellent and would make anything taste good. I took a break from the appetizers and said this was my chance to check out the 3rd and 4th floors. I headed upstairs in the castle and both floors looked like someone's house was converted into a lounge area, but definitely in a good way. There were some areas with small tables and others with a very open layout perfect for groups. Both floors also had some outside seating that we will definitely have to try next time. I noticed the seating did not have a lot of shade and was taking a lot of direct sunlight. That could be a problem on a hot summer day in Atlanta. I was snapping my pictures and walking around and Wifey called me to let me know the food had arrived. I headed back to the table and checked out the spread. Everything smelled great and looked delicious. We started tasting everything and were not disappointed. Zee definitely came up with the right suggestion for sides. There was more than enough rice and green beans to share between our 2 entrees. I loved my Chicken Kebob and all I got out of Wifey was "the shrimp are divine". Zee mentioned some great desserts that sounded tempting, but we decided against it and wrapped up the bill. The check actually arrived in a cool wooden box that said "Divan Restaurant at the Castle" This was an excellent 1st visit to The Castle. The food, service and atmosphere were all Top Notch. Zee was very attentive and took great care of us. I can't recommend Divan enough. read more

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this restaurant... but I'm happy to say that we were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere, decor and music were all incredible. The restaurant itself was an old house that looks like a castle, in the middle of Atlanta. Perfect for a date night! We wanted to try a little bit of a few dishes, so we got some potatoes for starters.. delicious. But the habanero sauce that comes with it, is no joke. Spicy! Then we got some chicken and beef kabobs with basmati rice. Delicious! And to finish it off.. we got some baklava with saffron ice cream. Yum!! All the staff there is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stop by next time you're around downtown Atlanta, you'll thank me later. read more

I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Divan, and it was my first time at their new location. I used to visit the old restaurant, but over time, it lost a bit of its appeal for me. Still, I was excited to check out this historic home. The inside is gorgeous. They did a great job with the space, and there are plenty of private rooms, which is great for events. One thing to note--there's an elevator, which some of the women in heels wished they had known about before climbing three flights of stairs. The elevator is functional, but I could see them making it a design highlight down the line. They also have several patios for outdoor dining, tucked into different corners of the home, which is a nice touch. Now, about the food. Divan offers both food and hookah, so naturally, one is going to stand out a bit more. The menu has a lot of choices, but I'd say the food was just okay. It looks nice on the plate, but aside from a couple of dishes, it feels like your standard Atlanta hookah restaurant. With places like Delbar, Yalda, and Rumi's in the mix, Divan is facing some stiff competition. It used to be the go-to restaurant, but for me, it's faded a bit. Still, I'd happily come back for hookah and some small bites, which seems to be their sweet spot now. The restaurant's atmosphere does give off a more premium feel than the food really matches. I had the beet salad, which was tasty, though the goat cheese was blended into a creamy sauce instead of chunks--still good, but I prefer the chunks. It was mostly arugula, and I missed the mandarin oranges. The lamb bolognese, though, was genuinely tasty. As for drinks, I had the Dragon's Tail and Persian Smash--both were fine, nothing extraordinary, but enjoyable enough. I have a feeling sitting on the main floor might offer a slightly better experience, but that's just a hunch. All in all, Divan is a great place if you're looking for a decent meal and hookah. It may not be the top choice if you're after the best regional cuisine, but if you want to relax, eat, and enjoy hookah it's a win! read more

My party of 3 had an 8:30 reservation on a Friday night. They got our table ready while we parked. Our table was in a small cozy room, which I found nice so that we could hear each other talk. Our server was great! I believe his name was Que. He gave us time to browse the menu and have honest feedback on the dishes we asked about, which was much appreciated! This was my first time coming but my family member have been here before. All of the food was well done. For starters we had the roasted cauliflower. It was well seasoned and the sauce underneath was great and went well with the crispy chickpeas. Between us we had the grilled tandoori wings, koobideh kabob, mussels, and salmon Alfredo. Everything was well seasoned and well cooked. The kabob was tender and even the rice accompaniment was well executed. We also had desserts and drinks which were great as well. I can't wait to come back! read more

I have had dinner there for several times. The food was delicious and unique, the dining area looked good, the service was not bad, but the restrooms were awful. Though labeled as a Persian restaurant, the food there is different from what you get in the most Persian restaurants in town. It is more like "bar food style Persian dishes with some Mediterranean twist". For appetizers, try the duck leg confit (my fav app), carrots with labneh or watermelon salad. For entree, I tried the koobideh kebab and beef shish kebab and both were good. Note that the ground meats they use for koobideh kebab was lean, thus making the kebab more dense--but it was not chewy at all. And if you do not want to carb-load, you can always sub the rice with other sides, such as the spicy-sour cauliflower. Plus, their naan is not as salty as those in e.g. Rumi's and Yalda. The staff there were friendly but sometimes it takes quite a while to order the food or to get my dishes. What I really do not like is the restrooms there. Pretty small, dated, and worst of all dirty (e.g. pee and paper towels scattered around). If they were cleaner I might give 5 stars lol read more

Top-tier restaurant for a birthday dinner! My beau and I celebrated his birthday at Divan and it was divine. The Mediterranean décor gives the restaurant an upscale vibe. There's several seating options--upstairs, downstairs, bar, and rooftop. We both started with the Duck Leg Confit and it did not disappoint! The skin was nice a crispy with a glaze and the inside tender. My entrée selection was the Koobideh Kabob (ground beef & lamb, saffron, and roasted potatoes. I tasted his Blackened Verlasso Salmon dish and it was nice and light. The food was seasoned to perfection. The complimentary birthday options are ice cream or a champagne toast. Our waitress, Meet, was attentive and pleasant from start to end. Dillan in valet ($10 plus tips) was on point. He had our car waiting immediately after we sent the text. Overall, we highly recommend Divan! read more

My husband and I visited for the first time yesterday 3/28/26 for our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the most amazing dinner with top tier service. The restaurant seems that it used to be a home renovated into a 3 or 4 floor restaurant. It's more of an upscale vibe which I appreciate. Cocktails here are made in a way in which you only need 1 maybe 2 and the food is delicious! The complimentary dessert and champagne well a nice touch that we truly appreciated. This was a very memorable anniversary for us and I'm glad we selected here to share our time, a great meal and reflective and comical conversation. read more

Everything tasted great! We loved our service. The wings, lamb & seabass tasted delicious.

Shout out to Ryan! He made the experience amazing and gave great recommendationa. Thank you for making our birthday celebration amazing.

A top tier experience from the valet to the presentation of the bill. High ceilings, cozy but elegant atmosphere, this is a great spot to date night or a family dinner. We started with the hummus duo, which included roasted chickpea hummus, tabouleh and a cucumber yogurt dip with a fig jam over it. Next, we had the goat cheese, which was covered in pickled fennel, honey, lemon and LOVE. If you don't have the goat cheese, you are cheating yourself. You can use the flatbread to eat the goat cheese like a dessert. Finally, we had the lamb burger with roasted cauliflower and the koubideh kebab with basmati rice. The basmati rice had saffron rice, pomegranate seeds, mint and spices on top. It was also served with a roasted Roma tomato and pickled vegetables. read more
