One word to describe Magic Soul Cafe...EXCEPTIONAL! Ambiance is a total vibe, great service, and food. I loved that their food was flavorful but not heavy with sodium. Yams were some of the best I've ever had at any restaurant in Atlanta. If you want a great experience & fire food- slide!! read more

I love supporting businesses that are black owned, but I never settle for less. After leaving a museum across town, a Google search brought this place up. Good: The female possibly the owner, was very nice with her mannerisms. Bad: No potato salad - they were out, mac and cheese heavily salted - likely accidentally over-salted. It was really bad. In between: Food runner, silverware...The food runner/server appeared mad at the silverware as he clang it and rolled it. Our silverware was not rolled with love . Seriously, we requested extra napkins and didn't use the ones the silverware were in. Would I give this restaurant another chance? It's highly unlikely. I don't live close enough to chance it. I do hope they take the suggestions to heart. I do thank the manager for the discount on the bill. As a former server, I would never. read more

A friend and I made reservations on Friday night. When we arrived, there was an event happening in the main restaurant. We were sat in the "lounge" part so we didn't get to enjoy the atmosphere or ambiance of the actual restaurant. However, the drinks were good and the food was alright. We ordered the fried chicken and catfish. 8/10. Would definitely want to see how the restaurant is regularly. read more

See all

This is truly a hidden gem. The atmosphere is nice. The parking is ample. The service is spectacular and the food is even better. If you come try the turkey wings! read more

My gf has been trying to come here for a few weeks now but they aren't open for lunch. So we decided to make the trip out that way today for lunch and she was happy about the wait. The food was nice and hot and service was great. It was only us and another 2 tables. Not sure if this was a norm for a Saturday afternoon but I didn't mind at all. Our server was crystal (according to the receipt) and she was great! $72 for two people with automatic 18% gratuity and no alcohol drinks. read more

Lawd have mercy! Visiting my niece in Alpharetta. Coming from Gary Indiana, I had to stop at a soul food restaurant before going home! Let me tell you, the food was off the chain!!! Crystal, our service was excellent! Everything she said about the food was true! The restaurant was decorated very nicely, clean and the music was on point! It wasn't that crowded when we got there but people was coming in to dine and it seems as though they were getting a lot of carry outs! The cook came out to greet me and I told him I might kidnap him so he can open a restaurant in Gary!! Didn't mean to say so much but if you go? You will know I wasn't lying either!

Magic Soul Food - Oh my goodness!! - Soul Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

OMG! This soul food done right. It's been a long time since Atlanta had soul food this good. My family dined on Father's Day. We had bbq chicken, fried chicken, and salmon with shrimp. For sides, we had macaroni cheese, yams, cabbage, and collards. Everything was delicious including the cornbread. Vegetables are cooked with turkey!! More places should do this versus cooking with pork. Either way I'm glad we checked this place out. 20/10 I do recommend. read more

Good food but both times I had to wait and if wasn't anyone there ! Staff was nice and friendly too

The food was on point. The turkey wings were delicious. The staff was another story. The owner who happens to be a black female was extremely nasty as if she was having a bad day. Maybe she should've closed for the day if she was gonna walk around mean mugging the customers. read more

Food is very flavorful. Yams are one of the best I've had at a restaurant. Prices are reasonable.

Our first time there the food was good I had the pork chops, Mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad potato salad was amazing, Mac & cheese was ok one pork chop was too salty the other was fine the greens was ok my husband had fish and grits he enjoyed it.

Nice atmosphere! Good and attentive service! Food was good although I wish I ordered more sides because the portions are smaller than what I'm used to when I go to restaurants these days. read more

Magic Soul Food - This food was the best soul food I've had in a long time !! They have a lot of choices and they're so nice and welcoming!! - Soul Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We visited this Establishment on January 18, 2025 while visiting the Atlanta area from Michigan. The ambiance and decor were nice. The staff was friendly and the service was good. The food was tasty with the exception of the macaroni and cheese. The portions were EXTREMELY small! The yams and the greens were served in small ramicans that are used to hold dipping sauces!!! The macaroni and cheese was burnt on the top. We ordered the fried catfish, lamb chops, yams, macaroni and cheese, and greens. The food was EXTREMELY pricey for the portions to be so small. even The serving of cornbread was small (like a 2 inch by 2 inch square). We left this restaurant and went to another restaurant to order more food as we were hungry. Our bill was over $80 dollars for food and sweet tea and we were still hungry at the conclusion of the meal. read more

Food was delicious!!!!! Service and ambiance Great! First time in Atlanta and was looking for soul food! We were not disappointed at all, very flavorful and not salty. Definitely will visit again! Thank you. read more

Magic Soul Food - Turkey wings,Mac&Cheese,Collards,Candid yams - Soul Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food was good. The floors were sticky. No real drink menu, just a few listed on the main menu. The friendly waitress offered to bring us some "Magic Punch". It's listed as $4.95 each on the menu so we order 4, but the price was changed to $18.00 each when the bill came out. Failing to tell us about the price change, whether it was intentional or unintentional, doesn't create a positive dining experience. Spending almost $80 on drinks that tasted like regular fruit juice wasn't in the plan, but we paid the bill and left. Maybe they needed it more than us ‍. read more

Low key spot in a shopping plaza that won't die. Food packed with flavor, maybe a tad too much salt. Would I go again, yup. Service pleasant. Speed of order reasonable. Stuff is made to order fresh! Surprising nice interior. Hope it gets the volume of foot traffic needed to stay open. read more

Wonderful turkey wings, yams, collard greens and Mac and cheese! I'm a repeat customer! Corn bread was perfect as well. Wings were greasy upon delivery but after draining were tasty! read more

Food was above average service was great restaurant was a little cold, but they had just opened up for dinner so not that big of a problem other than that great place to eat for great soul food read more

Although i waited almost an hour for an order today. I must say i enjoyed every bite. Worth the wait.

Service was Awful. Waited almost 2 hours to be served. Pick up and Door Dash orders were being served constantly before the dine in guest.

The food was okay. Wasn't giving soul food, it was salty and the macaroni not really like black people macaroni or the greens. I'd say only thing that taste black is the cornbread. And gratuity is included when it's not even a big party of people didnt really wanna tip cause it was ass but hey. read more
