    Vegetable crudite
    Hussain L.

    Bougie upscale Mediterranean restaurant at the Forth Hotel with delicious food! Try the mezze platter for a variety sampler of dips with pita and get the vegetable crudite to make it worth your while. Outdoor seating is special with chill pool vibes especially when weather is mild. Service was excellent and professional. Prices are high so be prepared to spend. The honey chicken is very good platter and there are many lamb dishes. The saffron rice was okay.

    My friends and I enjoyed dinner at Elektra on Friday night after work. It's easy to secure a table on the patio facing the pool on Resy. Our server was wonderful. He was attentive and made great suggestions. We each enjoyed our food and are making plans to return again for dinner.

    Breakfast Hummus

    Firstly, a number of hotel employees don't know where this restaurant is located and we were misdirected. Entering the lobby, make a left and look for the elevator bank down the dark hallway on the right. Take the elevator to the 4th floor and make a left into the hallway and you'll see the entrance. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and the restaurant, like the hotel, is very nicely decorated. The brunch/breakfast menu is small, but definitely adequate for us and we split the Breakfast Hummus and Olive Oil Pancakes (with a side of extra poached eggs). Both plates were solid and I thought the pancakes and flavored syrup were delicious. The four star review comes down to their absolutely abysmal coffee. They've got drip coffee and espresso, but aren't making lattes, cappuccinos, etc. The coffees we got were godawful - burnt tasting and unappealing. I had them make an espresso and it wasn't any better. For a nice restaurant in a boutique hotel that serves weekend brunch to have such poor coffee (both in varieties/options available and in taste) is a HUGE managerial error in my opinion.

    Harissa Fries

    We visited Elektra as part of our Valentine's Day outing. The restaurant is kind of tucked off but the ambiance is nice. To me it seemed like I was on the Grecian coast or something-greens and neutrals are part of the decor. Our service was fairly quick which was a plus since we were running over from our prior stop and needed to go to our next stop. We tried quite a few things-Mussels, Octopus (which is the best I have had-I was so surprised at how good it tasted), Harissa fries, hot honey harissa chicken, and lamb kofta. All delicious. I will be happy to return and try either their lunch or brunch.

    Mezze Platter to share, equipped with Hummus, Olives, radishes, Cucumbers, Tahinis/ spreads & comes with Pita!!

    ATTENTION ATLIENS: Best kept secret in Atlanta. Elektra is on the 4th floor of Forth (hotel in Old Fourth Ward). There are MANY reasons it's the best kept secret and should be #1 on your go-to discovery restaurants in Atlanta. 1- it's right off of the chaos of the Beltline, but offers a comfortable, quiet, intimate oasis from the fray. I don't think the majority of Atlantans have discovered it yet, so it remains quiet and private (for now) 2- the food and service were Great!!! Shoutout: Ayesha (sp?) our fantastic and enthusiastic server. 3- the patio, pool area outside of the restaurant, including the inside ambiance is immaculate. I could go on, but I don't need to because you're going to RUN not walk, to make a reservation here! PRO TIP: Don't get me started on the top floor roof of the building: Moonlight Lounge... that review is to come next...) one word: ELITE. Book yourself a res there for after dinner.

    Elektra is located inside of the Forth Hotel right off of the Beltline. It's super cute with a patio that overlooks the hotel's pool. It's Mediterranean dishes so think Delbar or Yalda. I had the mussels that came with fries surprisingly which I was happy about. Our server was very prompt and honest about what to order and what not to. Always appreciated!

    This place has been recommended to me for so long and I finally got to try it. I'm happy to report it lived up to the hype. The food was amazing. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The decor was beautiful. The view didn't feel like you were in Atlanta. The staff was super sweet and everything came out quick. It's easily one of my new favorites in Atlanta.

    Exploring the new Forth Hotel, the architecture, the park and the restaurants of this area is truly a pleasure. It's one of the best transformations of a dump into beauty right in the city center. A decade ago, nobody could picture sitting in this spot of dirt and homelessness to enjoy a cocktail, yet this is now a new world. The patio at Elektra is one of the best in Atlanta, poolside with views of gorgeous contemporary architecture of the new high rises. There are some beautiful rooftop tree plantings that add shade, greenery and beauty. It's a truly beautiful place. The Mediterranean food is spectacular. The salmon with squash is one of the best in the city (probably only second to Rumi's in Midtown location). The kofta kebob is amazing, lamb mixed with brisket makes for a juicy and tasty meal. Maybe the highlight of it all is the waitress we had a chance to interact with: Lauren. One of the kindest and most attentive people out there in the industry. All around, Elektra hits the spot from its beauty to the people who work here to the amazing food. It's simply great.

    Complimentary Torshi
    Leyang Z.

    This newly opened restaurant has become my Midterranean fav around dt/midtown due to its delicious food, great service, and stunning view around. For food, this restaurant impresses me with a wide range of creative dishes; try for example the Tunisian salad. The grilled chicken sounds traditional, but their honey harissa sauce adds some sweetness and smokiness to the juicy chicken. Also each table gets some free torshi -- pickled cabbage, radish, cauliflower, bell peppers and even raisins! Besides the amazing food, service there was also superb. The servers were quite friendly and attentive. For example, they would review the booking info and remember my food allergies so that I did not need mention it again. Many of them also enjoyed chatting with diners. And importantly, food came out in reasonable time. Another thing I really like is the view. The restaurant sits on the 4th floor of the beautifully designed Forth Hotel. The inside of the restaurant had stylish, formal vibe. In contrast, the patio near a pool is more casual, "energetic", and it's just fantastic to see the sunset while enjoying the food. I do need to note that dishes in Elektra is in general smaller than most popular Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants nearby (e.g., Delbar). However, it is definitely enough for one. To me, the food there simply has a different focus compared to those ones, such as its creativeness and different use of ingredients.

    Need a tucked away spot that will give the feeling that you've temporarily left some of the hustle of ATL for a slice of the Mediterranean? Definitely check out Elektra on the 4th floor of the Forth Hotel. My experience this visit was limited to cocktails and their mezze platter, but those two items alone, along with the stellar bar service from Darren, will have me returning soon. On the cocktail front, Darren and the bar staff were very knowledgeable and mixed some great drinks whether you selected something from their menu, picked a classic, or went off-script (I started with the Elektra martini, and followed up with a barrel-rested, gin old fashioned that Darren recommended, which was great for the last gasps of summer). For the food, even the often humble mezze platter came out looking beautiful and tasted easily as good as it looked. The use of seasonal ingredients such as peaches was a fun change of pace, the baba ghanoush may be the best I've ever had, and the labneh was a lovely compliment to the other offerings on the tray. Elektra's culinary team took an array of dips and small bites and turned it into a great meal that was perfect for sharing with someone while taking in good conversation and their beautiful space. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with my visit and I look forward to going back to try their other offerings.

    Enjoyed a dinner on the patio of Elektra. Reservations are a must. Located on the 4th floor of the Forth hotel, Elektra serves Mediterranean fare. We started with the cauliflower and harissa fries, both were delicious. We also enjoyed the harissa chicken, salmon, and pilaf. Finished with a dessert, only complaint is it was cold. The hotel has limited parking out front, a few lots around the building. Service was good.

    This is a new spot in the forth hotel. It's an indoor outdoor restaurant overlooking the hotel pool. We went for cocktails and most drinks were average. The ambience is great. Check this out if you want something different be most dishes are nothing exceptional

It smelled like was it cooked in coconut oil. I would say 7 out of 10 overall. The lamb neck was recommended by the waiter. It was really good, slow cooked and the meat was tender. The sauce was unremarkable. The waiter gave us a house made spicy sauce and made this dish significantly better. I would say 9/10 overall. The hummus with the pickled mushroom was amazing. It was topped off with truffle oil and I just couldn't keep my hands off of it. I would say 10/10. I just want to point out the bill had a notice that says "tips are based on check prices after taxes" was confusing and unsure why would company charge tips on top of taxes. Our waiter was amazing so we didn't mind paying the extra but it really made us wonder about the company policy.

My girlfriend has a very strict diet due to food sensitivities, so before ordering she specifically asked about the dough, bread, and flours used in the food. Unfortunately, instead of receiving details about the ingredients, she was simply told that she could eat it. Based on that information, she ordered the meal, but later had a reaction to the dough that was used. This was frustrating because the situation likely could have been avoided if we had been given accurate information about the ingredients from the beginning. We completely understand that not every restaurant can accommodate every dietary restriction, but being transparent about what is used in the food allows customers to make informed decisions for themselves. The food itself was good, which is why we're giving 3 stars, but the service on this particular issue left us disappointed. We hope the restaurant can do a better job of providing ingredient information when customers ask, especially for those with dietary restrictions or sensitivities.

You know where this is so you know that you're gonna have to worry about paying for parking because look at the area that you're in.

The two women that were working the front were excellent and they helped me along trying to make my decision. They were super nice and friendly and definitely worth speaking to because of their friendly demeanor . Everything I've had here has been great, absolutely amazing. I'm really hard on Mediterranean food only because where I grew up it was easy to find Mediterranean food because so many people from that side of the world put roots there. Finding some good chicken shawarma was easy. I haven't actually found a lot of that around the Atlanta area but there are a few good ones. This one is solid and did not miss. I loved it and I would definitely go back. Chicken shawarma (platter) - so the platter comes with two sides and an entrée. Everything was good. The chicken shawarma was very good and flavorful and it was super tender and I love that because it wasn't like it was sitting there all day. It was something I would definitely go back for. I may even get a wrap next time but the actual platter served me really well and it was great. roasted potatoes - my first side was potatoes and it's hard to mess up roasted potatoes. You just season it and stick it in the oven I guess but either way they were very moist and you got plenty of them. They were seasoned very well Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were pretty good. I mean I have nothing to complain about. They were vegetables and they were seasoned as well so nothing wrong with that but they were just vegetables. It's not like it was a main course kind of situation but for a side they were a really good side choice . Creamy chicken soup - now let me get to the star of the show. This soup is amazing to me. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it has something in it but it is amazing. I could actually get a big bowl of it and call it a day. The soup is creamy and savory and has bits of the chicken in there so it's also seasoned very well. I don't know what it is about this soup but this soup is gold to me. In any event yes I liked everything I got, yes I would go back, yes the soup is amazing, all the things LOL. They have a rosemary chicken that is supposed to be the best seller but I didn't come for that. I would definitely try that next time. I was very satisfied with what I got!

That level of hospitality is hard to find and really sets this place apart. I ordered their best-selling Chicken Shawarma Wrap, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The halal, hormone-free chicken breast was perfectly seasoned with Turkish spices, grilled with sweet white onions, and wrapped with creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, fresh cabbage salad, tabouli, and tahini in their homemade wrap. Every bite was packed with fresh, vibrant flavors, and the portion was surprisingly generous. For dessert, I couldn't resist the Pistachio Baklava, and I'm glad I didn't. The flaky filo layers were filled with pistachios and lightly sweetened with organic maple syrup instead of refined sugar. Combined with 100% olive oil and a hint of rose water, it was rich without being overly sweet and made for the perfect ending to the meal. What I also appreciate is Aviva's commitment to quality and healthy eating. They cook exclusively with 100% extra virgin olive oil, use halal, hormone- and antibiotic-free meats, fresh local produce, and avoid processed ingredients. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options while taking care to prevent cross-contamination, making it an inclusive place for people with different dietary needs. The restaurant itself is clean, organized, and inviting. While the prices are a little higher than some food court options, the quality of the ingredients, generous portions, outstanding service, and incredible flavors make it well worth every dollar. If you're in Downtown Atlanta and craving Mediterranean cuisine, Aviva by Kameel is definitely worth a visit. Great food, generous portions, warm hospitality, and a dining experience that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended!

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.
