Let's start of with how beautifully embellished the restaurant is. It's a refined fusion of modern elegance & old-world Persian heritage, that celebrates Persian hospitality & culture. You're greeted by the hostess that radiates warmth and geniality. Once seated you're gifted a complimentary starter Sabzi Plate that includes fresh herbs, feta cheese, walnuts, Castelvetrano olives, crunchy radish, and premium walnuts. It also comes with side of freshly baked Persian flatbread. We ordered a plethora of dishes. Our favorite plates were the hummus [we paired with the mushroom add on], lamb chops, and the Adas Polo rice. Trust me get the Adas Polo rice, it absolutely mouthwatering. As for beverages there is a variety of curated cocktails that we tasted but my top pick had to be the Tehran Mule! As for desserts our favorite was the Persian ice cream sandwich, it has unique flavors with rose being one of them. So good! For parking they offer a combination of valet services and validated garage parking depending on which location you go. The dress code is business casual. It's a perfect place for any accession, I definitely am planning on coming back to try more dishes. Take my word and come check it out! Your taste buds will thank you!

Really dismissive wait staff. We came in for lunch and asked for a table, and the hostess…read moreimmediately seemed annoyed that we had arrived. I understand there may have just been a rush, but in a customer-facing job it's not pleasant to make customers feel like an inconvenience for coming in. We were seated outside pretty quickly, but because it was very hot and we were directly in the sun, we asked if it would be possible to move to another table. When we asked our waiter, he told us to go ask the hostess ourselves. I've never had a waiter respond that way before. I expected him to check for us and let us know if moving was possible. We ended up asking the hostess directly, and to her credit, she did move us to another table. However, the overall attitude from the staff still felt cold and unwelcoming. We were really excited to try the food, but ultimately decided not to stay because we didn't feel comfortable spending money somewhere we weren't being treated as paying customers.

It was topped with whipped feta that was super airy. Stuffed branzino: the fish was perfectly charred and deboned which made it very easy to eat. Chicken harissa: this was our group's favorite dish of the night. It was perfectly spiced and had a nice kick to it. Sabzi polo: basmati rice topped with fried scallions. This goes perfectly well with the chicken and Bronzino. Pistachio lava cake: this was a delightful to an amazing meal. The cake has molten white chocolate filling and topped with cardamom ice cream. It was perfectly sweetened and not too heavy. This was the top meal of this trip!

Finally got the chance to try out Delbar!…read more We arrived early for our reservation, so we decided to sit at the bar while waiting. To hold us over, we ordered the hummus and Za'taar fries. The hummus came topped with fried chickpeas, which was such a nice addition-- I'd never had them prepared that way before, and the crunch added great texture. The fries had a nice cut and flavor, but they weren't as crispy as I'd hoped. I'd order the hummus again, though probably not the fries. Once we finished our appetizers, we were escorted to our table, which ended up being a pretty tight fit. We were seated at a two-person table between two larger groups of four, so it felt a bit cramped. Honestly, had we known the seating situation beforehand, we would've dined at the bar since it felt much more comfortable for dining and conversation. By that point, we were slightly full from the appetizers, so we decided to share just the Hanger Steak and the Polo Sefid. The steak smelled incredible and tasted just as good-- definitely a great choice! As for the rice, I may have gone in with high expectations after seeing so many pictures of it on social media, but for me, it was just decent. My boyfriend and I weren't huge fans of it since the grains kept getting stuck in our teeth. The service throughout the night was excellent. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. Our server, Lance, was attentive and helpful with recommendations, refills, and checking in on us. I also loved the aesthetic of the restaurant. From walking through the doors and sitting down, everything was pretty. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend checking out Delbar!

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

The labneh is so much more creamy. All of the meat is so well seasoned. I love the garlic toum and zhoug. I will not ever order from another Persian place in the city. Yalda clears them imo. And this is from a takeout perspective. I went in person with my parents. Whenever they come into town they requests the above mentioned restaurants. We decided to try Yalda. They prefer here over the others. Said the food is more flavorful, fresh. And that's coming from a Korean lady who is incredibly picky about where she eats in public. With that said, The Sandy Springs location is beautiful. Service was impeccable. Such friendly and attentive staff. Parking can be frustrating but I don't even care lol. Yalda ILY forever!

The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming, with a feel that's more upscale than a typical counter-service spot. The food came out quickly, and it's clear they take pride in what they make. The gyro meat was especially impressive--very flavorful, tender, juicy, and some of the better gyro meat I've had. The produce was fresh, and the wrap itself was excellent as well. The only area for improvement was the rice. It was fairly plain, lacked seasoning, and was a bit wet. The portion was also on the smaller side considering how inexpensive rice typically is. That said, the quality and portion of the gyro more than made up for it. Overall, it was a great meal and a solid value. I would absolutely return.

We visited around 3 PM on a Friday for a late lunch and were seated quickly. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see that they have plenty of options on the menu. We started with the yogurt dip with cucumber and the baba ghanoush, both of which were very tasty. For my main dish, I ordered the veggie kebabs, which come with saffron rice and grilled pineapple--my favorite part. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. They also offer lunch specials from 11 AM to 3 PM on certain weekdays, and we happened to arrive just in time to take advantage of that, which was a nice bonus. Parking was easy as well. I would definitely come back!

Such a great lunch choice!…read more While working in Halcyon, my stomach was beyond ready for lunch so I happily listened to it. With a number of options available in the food court, it was such a hard choice! After my teammate brought back her pita platter from Pita Mediterranean, it kinda put a bug in my ear of which spot to go for without me even realizing. So I went! I always love a refreshing Mediterranean meal and loved the variety of options available here. From salads, pitas, platters and more, I was struggling to figure out which to go with. I eventually decided on a traditional gyro with a Greek salad side and a plain lemonade. I placed my order at the self-order station after asking the sweet young lady behind the counter a billion questions, which she patiently answered. After placing my order, my food was fresh and ready in about 10 minutes or less. I took my food back to a table to dig in and was in for a real treat. The lemonade was delicious - not incredibly sweet and the perfect amount of tartness. Perfect. My gyro was huge! I decided to dive into my salad first which came with a packet of Greek dressing. I almost wished that I had ordered a bigger salad because this one was so good. The lettuce was topped with cucumbers, red onion, kalamata olives and feta cheese. It didn't stand a chance with me. I found that I was not starving as much after eating that salad and didn't end up eating my gyro until I got home and it was just as good even after it wasn't super hot. I ordered it spicy and wish it had even more of a kick, but it was delicious. It was well-portioned and so flavorful, I wish it had a bit more onions and lettuce, but by the way I inhaled it, you would have never known that anything at all was missing lol. Definitely going to be trying them out again in ITP!

We decided on the Market Hall and Mediterranean food sounded yummy. We were not disappointed!! My husband and I shared the Big Fat Greek Gyro with roasted veggies which were sliced zucchini and carrots. Since we were sharing, it was suggested we put it on Lavash instead of the pita. Otherwise, cutting the pita in half would be difficult to eat and cut. The Lavash worked out perfectly and was light and delicious. The filling was scrumptious as we chose chicken. The flavor of the chicken was excellent, not spicy. I couldn't keep saying how delicious it was. The roasted veggies were grilled without using much oil, seasoned spot on with maybe paprika. Loved how tender they were without being squishy. And how they were cut, great!! I want to go back and try more items on their menu. The cashier gals were very kind and helpful. Well done. Lots of free parking in the garage or across the street. And the Market Hall has lots of other food choices and many tables to enjoy your food choice. Also there is outside seating. If that is a choice and it's a weekend or weekend night, plan on the outside area being very busy with families and lots of kids playing.
