Had a quick layover in this terminal and went to grab a gyro pita from here. They seemed to be having some technical issues and out of some food items and moved so slow I thought I was going to miss my connection even though it was not busy at all. Got my gyro with its fixings and my flight ended up being delayed so I got to eat my pita in peace. It was actually very tasty and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Just wish their customer service was better. read more

The menu here is similar-ish to Halal guys, but the quality is way worse. And the prices are way higher, as expected in the airport. The actual food line was super disorganized and chaotic. The two people working the line had no system whatsoever, so the orders took a long time. They were out of some things but couldn't be bothered to tell the customers, so my order came with some components missing and I was not informed or given the chance to make a substitution. The rice is hard and stale, and the meats are oily. Lastly, the hygiene and sanitation here is not good. We saw one of the employees set their phone down right on a food prep area. read more

great hearty yet non greasy option ! service was quick and you can choose your protein and toppings ! I ordered the Gyro plate over rice with pickles, Peppercini and feta . Hummus, red cabbage and tomatoes are underneath. They were out of tzakiki at the moment but their signature white sauce was very good read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Gyro plate over rice with pickles, Peppercini and feta . Hummus, red cabbage and tomatoes are underneath. - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Food was ok. Not very fresh. My fries were old and limp. I think I would have enjoyed it much more with fresh fries and better tomato/cucumber on the gyro. The gyro and fries are not a good choice for taking on a plane! The fries had a very strong smell (a good smell, but everyone on the plane is going to know you have them) and the gyro was dripping everywhere. read more

Lord have mercy , I broke my heart to see a man struggle to purchase a damn gyro here with his airline voucher. It was clear that the lady knew how to handle the transaction but watched him struggle for several Minutes before coming out and helping him while holding everyone else up whom probably had planes to catch. The food did not look like anyone that knows about Mediterranean food cooked it. The salad was the least affected by this fact as I went for the veggies all the way lol Anywho , the disposition of the service is terrible. Looks like Jennifer at register 223 was not feeling it. No faves , just lucky I stuck to the salad and veggies read more

I was looking for something healthy to eat on my trip home. I love trying falafels whenever I travel, but never tried them in an airport. Garbanzo has a lot of options from bowls, to sandwiches to the plate I chose. You choose your protein, and other veggies for this plate. I chose the falafels which he fried up fresh. I added some salad, rice and the sauteed squash. First of all, it was a lot of food. The falafels were flavorful, but a bit more spicy than I am used to. The rice was really good as was the squash. The salad was fresh but I could have chosen a dressing that was less bland. When I pass through here again, I will check out their gyro plate. I'll go for more of the squash for sure. read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Falafel Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Ordered a bowl and the "manager" gave me 3 pieces of small chicken. Rice was dry, and poorly made. The service at this place is god awful along with the food. The manager started cleaning instead of making my plate and when I asked her where my bowl was she had an attitude. The "manager" is super rude!!!!! I asked for my money back and she stated "it's an unnecessary refund so I can't give you a refund" and told me to take it up with my credit card company and dispute the charge instead. I asked her for her name , she turned around and didn't come back. Not even sure how the why put someone like that in charge, let alone give her a job. She should be at McDonald's taking drive thru orders. read more

Here on 4th of July and received excellent service and delicious food made to order! We had the handheld falafel sandwich and they were so yummy- you even get to choose if you want your falafel golden brown or extra crispy! The man working there this afternoon was so pleasant and he really cared that you enjoyed your food he was making for you- what a nice change for an airport restaurant! We also had the seasoned fries- excellent! Definitely go here if you're in terminal D at ATL!! read more

I did have a long layover but my food was ready start to finish in less than 5 mins with people in front of me. the food was good and relatively inexpensive for the airport. I payed $19 for a LOADED UP chicken and rice bowl. read more

I frequent here often, as of the last 6 months the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. The plate got smaller and smaller and now they charge $2more dollars if you want a plate at all. Almost price gouging if you don't want bread that's not right. Not sure if the quality of food is worth paying the extra fee. Decided on the chicken wrap $12+, it wasn't bad, wasn't able to get the cabbage because it didn't look good at all. And the rice wasn't fresh, I hope management will stop worrying about upping the prices of items and bring the quality product back or they will lose passengers. read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Chicken wrap $12+ - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Decided to try Garbanzo passing through Atlanta's International Airport. The staff wasn't very very helpful or friendly and seemed like zombies going through the motions. I think the staff would be great on "The Walking Dead!" I ordered the Mediterranean Burrito with chicken, falafel, humus, tomato - cucumber, yellow rice, tabouli, and Mediterranean garlic sauce. The Burrito was huge! I had to use a fork to eat this monster! The ingredients tasted fresh and well seasoned. The falafel tasted very good! There's a huge selection of options to build your meal, all of which looked fresh and tasty! I would rate the food a 4 for taste and value and the staff a 2 for lack of friendly interaction with customers. Overall I would return for another meal and just overlook the staff's zombieness ! read more

This is a food court option on the D Terminal at the Atlanta airport. I gave it a try after readIng a couple of recommendations for it on yelp and I was not disappointed. I had a salad with mushrooms and I choose the tahini dressing. I also had a side of pita- warm, chewy, and yeasty! I also had soda water from the fountain and was charged for a soft drink which isn't typical but whatever. The salad was delicious!! read more

Enjoyed a very tasty lamb gyro while waiting for a flight. I must say Atlanta airport food selection is usually a wonderful surprise. Garbanzo has a lot of fresh choices to add to a wrap or salad or ( I forgot the other choices). If you're not feeling like chicken, burgers or pizza give the Mediterranean cuisine a try. read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A pretty decent option if you're looking for relatively fresh and healthy food in the airport. Just make wise choices. Major demerits for the borderline unusable forks in the shared food court space. You have to walk down concourse D to Chipotle to get a usable fork. read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Salad with gyros (too much) and tzatziki (too much), but still decent food. - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Not bad, but the falafel was dry, crispy, and difficult to break apart. I feel like it had been sitting around for a while. The place looked like it had been through a lot too and it wasn't the cleanest. It's good for a quick grab and go meal. There aren't that many options- you can't choose brown or white rice and toppings are limited. read more

Good food, poor customer service. I felt like I was a bother to them. No smiles or greeting with what I'd like to have. $25.00!!!!!! I ONLY had a regular gyro and added a very small scoop of chicken. Most likely won't be back, and I travel through D Concourse often. read more

Food was fresh and good, and service was excellent! They were super kind and let me sample their items as well!

In search of real, whole foods is a challenge in the airport. I figured Garbanzo would fit the bill because it's menu features traditional Mediterranean dishes - hummus, pita bread, rice, baba ganoush, lettuce, cucumber & tomato salad, orzo salad, mushrooms, chicken, steak, gyro meat, with a variety of toppings. I was standing behind a flight attendant and she even remarked how hard it is to get veggies on the road. This place was her go to spot and everything was tasty. I was sold. Then as I got closer to ordering, my concerns escalated. Here's where they failed: 1. FDA Inspection - 74 or 75 score. I should have left right then and there. Just way too low for establishments in or out of the airport. It was a dilemma to get the fried stuff or suffer through this. 2. Customer Service. I could see from the body language and expressions - there was a problem on the order line. No smiles. Attitudes. Frustration. Turns out they ran out of lettuce. Should be easy to just use another dish to compensate right? No. 3. Mushrooms count as a protein. Without lettuce I figured I'd get all veggies with chicken. That's an extra $2.25 for a small plate that's already $10. Whoa. 4. Overpriced. The shallow plate they provide and being stingy on adding more cucumber salad because THEY ran out of lettuce was a problem. My plate looked miserly and they just rushed us through the line. Still on my mission to eat real, whole foods. Likely won't return to this place until they turn it around. They have cornered the healthy market and just poo poo it away. Chick-Fil-A has decent salads without the toppings or dressings - I squeeze lemon juice over it. read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - D Gate restaurant. Buyer beware! - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Garbanzo is located in the food court in the center D concourse. With a similar set up to the burrito places, you pick the type of meal, pick the protein and pick the toppings - it's assembled right in front of you. Having read some of the reviews, I knew that the felafel wrap was the way to go. And so that's what I ordered, which had five felafel balls inside, sauces, cabbage and everything else on offer. As in "all the way". Next time, I think I'll have them skip the pickles. Otherwise, it was spicy (not hot, flavorful) and quite the mess. I would strongly recommend NOT eating this on the plane! read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Garbanzo in the Center D food court - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill is a relatively small nationwide chain of quick-serve Mediterranean restaurants. Garbanzo opened its first, and so far only, Georgia location (store #9001) at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport inside the still-evolving Terminal D. On my way to catch a flight and doing a quick glance over the limited food options in Terminal D at the time, I chose Garbanzo based on: 1. Speed - orders are made on-the-spot, Chipotle-style 2. Price - meals under $10 each 3. Looks - the food looked colorful, healthy, and fresh Garbanzo serves laffa, pita, and shawarma sandwiches and wraps, and plates filled with chicken, steak, and falafel (deep-fried balls made of chickpeas). Other foods served include hummus, baba ghanoush (made of eggplant), tabbouleh salad (made of bulgur, tomatoes, parsley, mint, onion), and kabobs. They also sell an assortment of vegetables and salads such as a lemon chicken and orzo salad, roasted eggplant, and Greek salad. I saw some plates prepared and they looked fantastic. I ordered an $8.40 laffa steak wrap. "Laffa" is the name of a particular flatbread (also known as taboon bread) used to make Middle Eastern street food wraps. It's essentially a large, Mission-style, Mediterranean burrito. I'm not sure if Garbanzo actually uses taboon bread, but you've got a choice between white flour or wheat. I had my steak wrap on wheat and stuffed with almost everything the stall had to offer. This included lettuce, tomato, cucumber, seasoned yellow rice, tabbouleh salad, hummus, baba ghanoush, red cabbage, tzatziki yogurt sauce, and spicy sauce. No pickles. I made the right choice because the wrap was big, filling, and delicious. It really hit the spot. The veggies were indeed fresh and crisp. Each bite was full of flavor. The steak was cut into thick strips. Some chunks of steak were tough, but never dry. The meat was savory. Due to the high number of ingredients I chose to have stuffed into my wrap, there was some sauce leakage towards the end of my meal. Therefore, wraps and sandwiches may not be best options in terms of neatness and cleanliness if you plan to take them on-board a plane. I saw a man spill tzatziki dressing on himself as he tried to eat a pita sandwich while waiting at the gate. Ordering a plate would be more practical if you're taking it to go. Napkins and disposable silverware are available self-serve at a small counter across from the storefront. Unfortunately, no tap water is available here. You're stuck with buying 24 oz. bottles of Nestle Pure Life water for $2.59 each. Sodas and other drinks are slightly cheaper. Service is very good. read more

I picked this spot because of the better reviews than their neighbors but they need to fix some things if they want to last. I got the Greek salad with portobello mushrooms ($9.95). It would have been better if they hadn't given me wilted lettuce. Come on guys, lettuce is .50, get some fresh green in the house. It came with olives, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and feta cheese. The lady at the counter was friendly and she gave me bobbaganush on my salad when she saw me staring at it, thank you! read more

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Greek salad with portobello mushrooms - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I really hate giving negative reviews but this was just awful. First of all, the woman serving was not paying attention and put another guest's chicken kebab onto my plate. When he corrected her, instead of starting over, she just scraped the chicken off the plate with her hand and threw it into the garbage (barf.) and continued making my plate. I told her that I did indeed order chicken (I guess she forgot within the 20 seconds that I ordered) and so she frantically scooped some onto my plate, making a mess. Then when I asked for tabbouli she put it on someone else's plate ... it was truly a disaster and she had no business serving people. The person checking out also did not put the lid on all the way so when the plate went into the bag it spilled everywhere. The food also was not good. It's hard to mess up hummus and olives so that part was fine but the chicken was so fatty and grisly, I couldn't eat it. It was $14 something for this plate and a bottle of water. Just terrible in every aspect. read more

Love this place.....second time here this time service was leaving more to be desired but the taste was just as I remember (yesterday) I know I got on the servers nerves but IDC because there is no garbanzo by me in Orlando so I asked to try things AND I asked for extra rice. Don't judge me. I am going home happy. These flavors are amazing fresh. I feel like they make the pickles fresh somehow too. They have the perfect seasoning and spice unlike store bought pure salt. I will search high and low for this place close to home this is easily at the top of my list for fav restaurant. I will dream about these yummy falafels until next time! read more

The friendly staff was eager to let me try anything from the menu before ordering. Delicious food!

Yuck. One plate and one sandwich a water and a soda, 2 people. $36. They were out of 2 if 4 sauces, olives, fountain Diet Pepsi and the card reader was wonky. They served a cucumber and tomato salad that was VERY old. The rice was grainy. The food temps were all room temp, meats that should be hot and salads that should be cold. Nothing seemed fresh. The airport isn't even busy and the store seems to have plenty of staff. Bad management. Low standard. Don't eat here. read more

This place is for airport options!! Great healthy go-to in the airport. I got a steak salad. Pretty expensive but worth it compared to other options in the airport. Staff was helpful and patient with recommendations! read more

The food is actually pretty good but the value is just not there. Almost $18 for a chicken bowl. It's not good enough for that. Also the fact that they don't have an employee discount is unfortunate to say the least. I won't be eating there again until they do. read more

Food was good but they only had 1 worker and he was complaining about not having any help . Very rude . Started throwing food around . Geez

Like most other reviews it was pretty good food with poor service. Service is about what I have come to expect in the airport. Food was above average. It was nice to have a different option. ATL airport does a good job on variety which is nice when you travel. Mediterranean is also a lighter healthier option which is good too. The build your own method is nice to. I would have liked signs on the food glass to better match up or maybe some feedback from the person building my pita. For example did I have sauce options or what was the sauce exactly? Good for airport and will likely get if connection is shorter , but wouldn't be my first option if I had time to sit or was out side. Price was pretty spot on for the airport as well. read more

layover in Atlanta and was looking for something healthy, this hit the spot!!!!! vegan and vegetarian options and fresh , delicious food! The gentleman who made my order was friendly, helpful, and very courteous! I will definitely make my way back to D terminal on my way back through! read more

It used to be great, but now it is just plain bad. The food was flavorless and my salad leaves were wilted and some of them definitely past their prime - I saw the lady pick out some really bad ones from the bowl she was making for me. This really should have been an indicator for me - I should have just left, ugh. The grilled chicken was the most flavorless kind I have ever tasted - no good grill, no flavor and my biggest pet peeve - not enough salt. I was charged extra for one teaspoon of tabouli on my salad, even though it was a substitution. The tztziki sauce was a sad white glob on the top of my salad that got all smushed and smeared on the lid eventually. Service - just terrible. The lady did not seem like she wanted to come to work and she almost dropped my salad bowl a couple of times because she kept propping it against the shelf than hold it right. She also got into a tiff with the other lady who was cleaning up the aisle for coming in her way. I paid almost $15 for the salad and a bottle of water. 2/3rds of my salad went into the trash, unfortunately. This review will continue to remind me why I will never come to this place again!! read more

Service was great, got a salad and greens were old unfortunately. Probably won't be back next time I visit atl airport

On a sliding scale of airport food that trends downward, Garbanzo is breaking the rules that airport food must be gross/overpriced/unsatisfying. Although their customer service and knowledge of menu items could use some improvement, the overall product offering - AIRPORT OR NOT - is satisfying, healthy, tasty, and not at all overpriced. Solid 3.5 stars for sure, and definitely one of the newer food offerings in ATL's remodeled Concourse D Centerpoint worth checking out. You start by choosing among a "Laffa Wrap" (like a tortilla wrap), a sandwich (in pita-like bread), a salad, or a "Plate" (like the "greatest hits" of all Garbanzo has to offer). Then, you choose your protein from chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, lamb, falafel, or some combination of the two (example: I chose a salad with "Chicken Falarma" - a combo of the chicken and falafel balls). Then, as the food is assembled and put together in front of your eyes and at your beck-and-call (think Chipotle-style ordering), you choose from various toppings - olives, onions, feta, etc., and various sauces, such as tahini, hummus, tzatziki-style sauce, and vinaigrette. They also offer various side items; we ordered the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), and at only about $3 for 4 vegetarian, cold-style grape leaves, they were actually really good! Not too much leaf covering, well-marinated, and the only improvement I would suggest would be for them to be served in a plastic container as opposed to paper wrapped in aluminum foil, as the oil on the grape leaves stuck to the paper like crazy. Both hubby and I found the chicken and falafel to be well-seasoned, flavorful, and definitely neither dry nor over-salted. Hummus and tahini were good, not the best, but whatever. Portions were huge. Pita bread on the side with both the salad and the "Plate" option was a nice gesture but needed to be warmed/grilled; was dry and too "bready" to be legit pita. Total for two heaping entrees, side of dolmas, and a big bottled water topped out at $20, and we were stuffed, satisfied, and had happy bellies. A big change from typical airport fare. My only scoffs (other than the dolma-wrapping technique) relate to customer service - there was an employee on the line who wanted to charge my husband extra for a few olives on his plate, yet dumped 30 (we counted) kalamata olives in my salad. Way too many and definitely not cost-effective for the eatery. Also, she refused to give us a side of tzatziki sauce, telling us there was none left, even though we were looking right at it behind the counter...super odd. Maybe she didn't feel motivated enough to scrape out the remainder of sauce? If you are craving Mediterranean-style food, or need a change from McDonald's/pizza/Wendy's/Sbarro at the airport, check our Garbanzo. Your wallet and tummy and taste buds will thank you! read more

We were hungry after a long flight and this place seemed to have the shortest line. (I don't understand why people wouldn't want to eat Mediterranean food at 9am. Huh.) The girls at the counter seemed annoyed that I wasn't making decisions very quickly. I mean, I get that. Everyone is in a hurry at the airport. I decided on a wrap since I didn't have much time before my plane boarded and the wrap could travel with me. I got hummus on the wrap which was a huge mistake. The hummus tasted off, just not right. Usually love hummus but this was just yucky with a bitter aftertaste. The gyro meat was good and the garlic sauce, but the hummus just ruined the thing for me. Oh well. Lesson learned. Heed my warning, try the hummus before you add it to you food!!! read more

Airports are notoriously difficult places to find inexpensive food, and Hartsfield is no exception. However, Terminal D is it because it has this great place. I almost always get the delicious falafel, which at 5 for $2.75 are a real bargain. The nice lady even made me some fresh ones. Add a pita and a side of tangy hummus, and you got a good, filling meal for less than 8. Don't forget the signature white sauce. Happy travels! read more

I travel a lot but for some reason, I never fly out of terminal D. I found this place today and must say, for airport fast fresh food, this place is top notch. Healthy alternative to most airport venues. Chicken Kabab was decent, but the hummus, cucumber salad and pickles with red cabbage took the prize. I will definitely find my way back to terminal D when I fly even if it's just to eat well. read more
