    Hummus, Sambousa
    Lucia T.

    I've been to several Middle Eastern restaurants, but this was my first time at one that also offers hookah, an interesting experience. We ordered classic hummus, the Family Mix Grill plate, kabab, Fattoush Salad, sambousa, shawarma, and a few traditional desserts. The food was decent, not the best I've had, but enjoyable. Service was efficient, and the relaxed lounge atmosphere makes it a good spot to hang out and socialize. Overall, a nice experience for a pleasant evening with friends.

    Gorgeous women, love this place, will always come here, good hookah, great food, great prices, very busy unfortunately there are long wait times but, it's always worth the wait. Love you guys, I'll keep bringing my cars here

    Love the vibe, food and hookah. Do try the dessert. Only non alcoholic drinks available. It was interesting to see kids around at the hookah lounge but it is family friendly. Maybe if they were in just a section that would be better so they aren't looking at the people around them smoking hookah or inhaling it.

    Grape leaves and tabbouleh

    The food is delicious! 10/10 the mint lemonade is to die for. I pretty much tried half the appetizer menu when I went. Everything was delicious! Hummus, baba ganoush, falafels, sambousa, tabouleh. The only thing that was not the best were the stuffed grape leaves. I always get the kofta and it does not disappoint. Unfortunately service is not the best. Last time I went I had to wait about 20 minutes to get my check after the plates had been cleared and it wasn't even my server that noticed someone else saw that I had been waiting. I saw there was a chicken shawarma side so I ordered it to go. I specifically told the server I only want it if it's one wrap if it's just the chicken I don't want it. He said okay I'll double check and only put it in if it's a wrap. I got home excited for my chicken shawarma wrap only to be disappointed because it was just the chicken. But food is 10/10. Would get 5 stars with better service.

    Elevated hookah restaurant with different seating areas to accommodate your occasion! I went on a beautiful date & the server was super helpful on choosing a flavor + kept an eye out for our hookah (our first time). Food was an absolute 10/10 with the exception of there not being any pomegranate seeds in my Fattoush salad. I asked if they could bring some and she said she they stopped serving them inside a while ago :'(. Other than this everything was delicious & top tier. HIGHLY recommend you start with the hummus plate ... it was to d!e for!

    This place is open till midnight on the weekday. I believe last call for food is 11 PM. We just had dinner and needed a place to hang out. I found this place and decided to give it a try. We didn't know it was a hookah bar. Even though we were not going to smoke, we liked the fact that the place was large enough that we couldn't smell the smoke anyway. It is very new and clean looking. The staff was very nice and friendly. We just came in there for drinks and they were very accommodating even though we didn't order much. We were just checking the place out, but we will definitely come back because everything was great here. Even the bathrooms were decorated nicely.

    Mint tea service.
    Mick D.

    That was a very nice experience, and the food was outstanding. Our meal started with some mint tea and a hummus appetizer. The mint tea was outstanding, and I like it that they had packet of sugar at the table for those of us who desired it. Topped with beef shawarma, the hummus was a total crowd pleaser. The pita was perfect. I want to say it was freshly made, but it may have been steamed. Either way, it was delicious. I could have eaten this by myself for dinner. My wife and I had a chicken shawerma wrap, which was tasty, and a little spicy. There was some nice garlic sauce on the side. Good stuff. Don't waste your time on the fries. My friends each got the chicken shawerma and the beef shawerma entrees. They looked delicious. I will be ordering one of these the next time I visit. Wait-staff here took excellent care of us, checking on us frequently. Foods were presented to the table hot and fresh, and sometimes with a small flourish. There is some real culinary artistry going on in that kitchen. The restaurant itself is a largish-space, with plenty of couches/sofas for lounging with your hookah and your meal, and plenty of tables that can be arranged to accommodate groups of all sizes. We arrived early, which I think was the right thing to do. As the evening progressed, the tables filled up with a variety of Middle Eastern clientele, and we were perhaps the only table that was not partaking of a hookah setup. There was LOTS of hookah action going on. Folks everywhere were celebrating, or relaxing, or just having a good time with each other. It was a good scene. Mazaj is also set up for live entertainment, but that wasn't happening during our visit. Perhaps we'll see that next time. Holler if you're coming with.

    What a gem! Husband and I wanted something healthy after an evening out and came across Mazaj on the way home and fell in love. The restaurant is in a plaza so there's ample free parking. Inside the restaurant is very spacious with either table seating or sectioned booths. We were seated at a table. We loved the authentic vibe of the middle eastern music & cuisine. Our waitress was very nice and gave us wonderful recommendations. We first ordered a Greek salad with mushrooms which was phenomenal. Along with a mint lemonade that was extremely fresh and potent in flavor. For entrees we had the chicken shawerma and beef shawerma that came with sides of rice. Both entrees were well seasoned and light. The portions were large so we had a good portion of leftovers to take home. The restaurant also had hookah available but we did not try that night. Will definitely be back to try more dishes, drinks and hookah.

    Fatoush Salad with Chicken Shwarma - to go
    Mahia Z.

    Mazaj has easily turned into one of my favorite lounges / Mediterranean restaurants in Atlanta. I will also say that their Fatoush salad is the best I have ever had. The first time I visited was around the time they had opened. Service was a little slow, and I was a bit disappointed as their food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. Since that first visit, I have gone back several times and my experience has been more than better. I have brought my friends and family from out of town here, and all have agreed at this being one of the best Mediterranean / Arab spots in the city. I recommend getting the fatoush salad. You won't be disappointed! I look forward to one day coming to one of the concerts / live music shows they have. Food is halal :)

    Would have been good if I got my food. Ordered an Arabic chicken shwarma and waited an hour didn't received my order. Waiter was Ahbed and although he was nice, was not very attentive to our table. The overall ambience was great and I'm understanding that there was an event being held but customers should not have received the impact of this.

    How smoky is it inside?

    It wasn't very smoky when we went but we also went closer to closing so not sure if that makes a difference.

    Is alcohol served here?

    No just hookah and fresh drinks but not alcohol

    As a frequent eater and lover of Afghani food, this place was excellent and I've been here 3 times…read moreeven though it's quite far from me. Kabuli pillow (possibly wrong spelling) was the highlight, and best in town. In fact, it was so well prepared that we came back specifically from it. They claim to be the first and best afghani restaurant in town - and honestly this checks out. They have great starters/sharables too, best for me is always the betinjan (eggplant). I like the Mantu as well, but tbh, had much better mantu elsewhere. The highlight is the pillow. Just go there! Ambiance wise - very family friendly. Simple and quite interior, nothing fancy, great for families or parties who don't want much noise and just want to eat and enjoy a conversation. Great service as always.

The prices seemed fairly reasonable. Customer service was friendly and attentive. I opted to order the chicken kebab plate, and it was quite tasty. The portions were a bit smaller than expected, and the rice was slightly bland on flavor, but I enjoyed the chicken kebab and the garlic yogurt sauce. The cucumber salad was refreshing, and was a nice addition. The green chutney sauce was alright, but a little watery in texture. We had to eat quickly due to scheduling constraints, but they were quick with providing takeout boxes, and sauce cups to take home with our leftovers. Overall, a solid place to get some great Afghan food.

Great selection of Middle Eastern goods; was happy to see دبس فليفلة which I haven't seen since I was in Syria and where it is made by the barrel in homes to last the year. The deli also manages good shawarma and the hummus is so delicious! I wish they were more generous with the side of it in the plate (was less than half full). The salad was tasteless; no salt/spices, nor dressing. A previous visit I purchased two cakes: one carrot and the other chocolate. The carrot cake didn't have any carrots in it (looked, but didn't taste like traditional carrot cake), and the chocolate cake wasn't good at all (bitter) except for the frosting. The 'espresso' based coffee was lukewarm and tasteless. The person put condensed milk in it which made it worse but he did remake it without charge. He kept calling me, mama, which was unsettling to me. I have a son less than half his age. I gave only 3 stars because of the overall ambiance and the discourtesy and unfriendliness of the staff. I didn't realize it, but nothing can be returned after two weeks; the manager, however, kindly did return three items.

Pairs perfectly with their bread. My only complaints is that meals are served in a flimsy bowl that sucks all of the moisture out of the hummus. I'm also not a fan of their reheated meats and slop-bowl serving style that America loves these days. Too bad, because the meat quality and flavor is good, but once it's reheated so many times, the beef, chicken, lamb, loses it's appeal. The ordering counter is crammed into the corner of the restaurant and is very stressful to maneuver if there is more than one customer. They seem to do mostly takeaway business, even though the dining room is spacious.

I gave my honest opinion: Positive: -Beautiful interior with a lot of space for diners -Delicious foods with big proportions -Plenty of parking in a lit plaza Negative: -VERY slow service -Not greeted -No smile -Not very friendly Restaurant opens at 11:30 AM. I got there at 1 PM with my Aunt and there was nobody there. I went to the other side of the restaurant lingering and wondering if we should just go find our seat or stand there. There was another couple that was seated already. A server finally came out to deliver foods, don't even acknowledge us, and after putting her foods down, walked away. I had to stop her and asked if we seat ourselves. No hello, welcome, or anything. She didn't smile and only gestured something and walked away. We were confused and walked back to the other side where a man was at the register finally. We asked him the same thing and he went to go get the server lady. She finally took us to our booth. Again, didn't ask us if it's our first time, if we had any questions, nothing. The didn't let the lack of enthusiasm deter my mood because I am there to try out the foods. It took forever for the server to come back to get our order. Foods did arrived in a reasonable amount of time, big proportions, and everything tasted as good as it looks. Took us 2 hours from beginning to end dining there even though there were only 3 couples eating there, including us, during lunch on a Wednesday. That's how slow service was. I can't even imagine how it'll be during a big crowd on weekend nights. The prices were on the same level as Delbar and Rumi's. However, the other restaurants has top notch service. The service here acts as if we're doing them a favor by paying them for the foods. I will probably not come here again even though it's close to my area. If it still stands by next year, I will probably give them another chance.
