After being in Atlanta for a while, I was CRAVING vegetables, greens, anything fresh! So I met up…read morewith an old friend at Flower Child, and it was exactly what I needed. I had the grilled salmon with broccoli and sweet potato. Clean and simple, but boy, was everything flavorful! The broccoli was probably my favorite. Perfectly crisp, not overcooked at all, with these delicious pan-charred edges and great seasoning. The salmon was cooked around medium and was really nice, especially for a place that has the ease and convenience of quick-service food but tastes much more farm-to-table. The space itself is casual, colorful, bright, and full of natural light, and it's in such a cute area of Atlanta. I really enjoyed the whole experience. Definitely becoming my go-to spot whenever I'm in town and my body is screaming, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME VEGETABLES!

However, I'm from a city with a strong African food influence, so for me, the jollof was simply food for sustenance. It filled the need, but it wasn't particularly memorable. The plantain chips were the biggest disappointment. They were honestly embarrassing. Packaged Chifles would have been more flavorful and satisfying. There were several things I appreciated. The menu is very friendly to pescatarians, vegans, and vegetarians, and the staff was patient and helpful in explaining the dishes and their ingredients. The restaurant itself is spacious, comfortable, and inviting. The price point is also reasonable, especially for a mall location. Would I intentionally return? Probably not. But if I were with a group that chose Flower Child, I could definitely find something on the menu and enjoy the atmosphere.

Probably my favorite salad place so far in the metro ATL area. I've ordered here at least 4 times…read morefor takeout or delivery. I have the rewards program, but if you're doing delivery and don't order here often its cheaper to go thru Uber Eats based on fees, at least in my experience. There's been a couple occasions where a few items are missing from the "create your own bowls" I've ordered but nothing major. Uber Eats has gotten sooo much better about refunding for little things like that, so it hasn't been an issue. They do charge by add-on if it's a premium item so you just need to pay attention if you didn't order it in person. I do understand they could be busy and just miss an item or two or ran out of certain ingredients also. I feel like the quality and consistency is better here than Chipotle or Gusto (at least the one I tried). I haven't tried all the other salad/bowl places nearby yet, but I do enjoy the freshness of the ingredients and options here. Their green goddess ranch is good (I haven't liked it at other places). I like their mushroom mix as well, probably even more than their steak. Their rosemary focaccia is a nice compliment to the bowls as well. I haven't had any bad items here so far. The portions are generous, which is not always the case with every salad place. I look forward to trying more things.

It's in a pretty decent area but the parking can be a little big tumultuous. You must likely will have to go ahead and try to fend for yourself when it comes to parking if there's a lunch rush so just keep that in mind. The service is interesting because majority of the service is done on machines. You will come in and have six different kiosks to input your order in a sensitive to the kitchen. Now the kiosk situation is good because they have a whole lot of options and you can pick from you don't have to ask any questions, but still it's not the same as having somebody you can talk to or ask questions to if you have any issues. But in 2024, less human contact seems to be about right. I place my water, I got a wrap, and the kiosk didn't work. It didn't send my order to the back and it gave me a message. I only say that because I told the lady in the register area she came right out to try to fix or resolve my issue. Customers are whistles really good. She tried resetting the machine she tried to work with me then she end up put an order in in the back after taking picture of it with her phone. She wasn't going to let me have to reorder all over again and I appreciate it that. The space itself is new and is really clean. Super clean, they have about 10 or so tables, there is some outdoor seating but the majority of it is indoor, and they have some seating at a bar table type area. So there is plenty of seating but I wouldn't say it will be the best for large groups but overall if you want to stop in with a couple of friends, this would be a good spot because it can seat you without an issue. I got the sesame ginger wrap, the rap was a little dry and could have used some more sauce but that was not on them that was totally me. I should have ordered extra and then that would have been taken care of, but overall, it was a solid wrap and it was huge. And you see by the picture, it's definitely got some heft to it. I would definitely go back.

My partner and I visited this restaurant on a whim after running a few errands at the mall. The…read moreservice was fantastic and we also happened to get the Happy Hour which gave us $3 off of the dumplings and $4 off of the pizzas. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately. My favorite item was the edamame dumplings. So unique and delicious. The sauce it comes in and the chili garlic sauce on the side was 10/10 soo good. We also tried the Korean glass noodle bowl with blackened chicken. Very delicious! The bar and restaurant ambiance overall was very relaxed and cozy. The bar had the FIFA World Cup playing and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. Their drinks are also amazing and they don't carry sodas, but have fresh pressed juices with sparkling water that truly do the job. I can't wait to be back and try other things on the menu.

A Sweet Little Nightcap in Buckhead…read more Sometimes you just need dessert. After dinner, my friend and I were looking for something sweet and wandered over to True Food Kitchen in Buckhead. It was an easy walk from Hotel Colee and the Lenox Square area, and we lucked out with a beautiful Atlanta evening and a table outside. We shared the Spiced Carrot Cake, and it was delicious. Moist, nicely spiced and topped with a luscious vanilla mascarpone mousse, candied oranges and walnuts. The mascarpone was especially good -- creamy without overwhelming the cake. Exactly what I wanted. We also had an affogato and an Espresso Martini, made with organic vodka, espresso liqueur and organic espresso. Dessert and coffee with a cocktail thrown in for good measure? Yes, please. Service was perfectly adequate -- friendly, easygoing and just what we needed for a casual dessert stop. And our bartender was pretty darn cute, so really, what's not to love? The outdoor seating made it even better. Relaxed, comfortable and a lovely place to linger over something sweet and a cocktail on a beautiful Atlanta evening. I love finding places where you don't necessarily need another full meal. You can simply stop in, sit outside, order dessert and a good drink, and enjoy the evening. Life is too short not to eat well and travel well. Get out there.

My usual starts with arugula, romaine, and kale, then I add grilled chicken AND Norwegian salmon because apparently one protein just isn't enough for me. From there it's egg whites, hard-boiled egg, cucumber, grape tomatoes, jalapeños, pickled red onion, red bell peppers, olives, aged Parmesan, feta, crispy shallots, and Parmesan crisps. I have them mix everything with the Creamy Caesar and skip the bread. Yes, by the time I'm finished adding everything it's basically a $28 salad. LOL. But it is HUGE, filling, and has enough going on that I actually feel like I ate a meal and not some sad bowl of lettuce. What I like most about Chopt is being able to customize everything. I want spice, crunch, protein, cheese, vegetables...all of it. And somehow once they chop and mix everything together, every bite has a little bit of everything in it. The Buckhead location is convenient when I'm in the area and want something quick that still feels like an actual meal. Could I build a cheaper salad somewhere else? Absolutely. Would it have my salmon, chicken, two kinds of egg, two cheeses, olives, jalapeños, crispy shallots AND Parmesan crisps? Probably not.

The place was clean, bright, and offered wifi for our working lunch which was helpful. I had the Mediterranean tahini bowl with brown rice. It was a late lunch so I opt for something a bit on the heavy side so I didn't need dinner and that was the best choice! The combination of warm rice and chicken with the cool salad toppings was wonderful and refreshing. Thinking about stopping in again before heading back to Savannah. Later this week!

I had the chicken shawarma plate with rice, fries, fresh pita, and tzatziki, and everything was excellent. The chicken was flavorful, the pita tasted fresh, and the portions were generous.

He made the whole experience feel genuine, and that's something you don't always find anymore. He did an outstanding job and definitely left a great impression.

Have you ever had one of those days where you KNOW you have a taste for something, but you can't…read morequite figure out what it is? That was me. I was leaning toward something Mediterranean-ish but also wanted to try somewhere new, which is how I stumbled across Sabaraba's. First things first: parking was pretty convenient! I lucked out and found street parking, but there's also a garage directly next door, so you have another option if street parking isn't available when you arrive. When I walked in, the staff was immediately friendly and welcoming. There's also a good amount of seating inside. I wouldn't necessarily choose it for a huge party, but for solo dining or groups of around 2-4, you'll be perfectly comfortable. I couldn't decide what I wanted, so the young lady at the front was really helpful with recommendations. I also made sure to tell her that I was fresh out of the gym and HUNGRY , so she steered me toward the laffa. I ordered mine with shawarma and added fries on the side. Now... I don't know exactly what they put on those fries, but they were HITTING. It may have been the seasoning, and yes, I was extremely hungry, but I'm also very critical when it comes to fries --so I'm giving them their credit! I also ordered the mango lemonade slushy. Did I need it? Absolutely not. Did it hit the spot? Absolutely YES. It was such a refreshing little treat, especially in this Georgia heat. Overall, this was a great random find! The staff was welcoming, the recommendation was exactly what my post-gym hunger needed, and there's still plenty on the menu I want to explore. I'll definitely be back!

Based on the reviews and pictures I saw I decided to give Three Buddies a try. Three Buddies was easy to find as it sits right on the main road. They have their own parking lot so there is ample parking so once I turned, I hopped into a park and we headed inside. Three Buddies has a simple decor as the design aesthetic is straightforward and leaves the focus on the restaurant name itself. The restaurant was very clean and had a diner style setup with ample seating. Once seated, the waitress approached us with a warm smile and cheerful greeting. She provided us with menus, took our drink order, and allowed us some time to review the menus in full. With a variation of halal items on the menu, Three Buddies had me wanting a little bit of everything. However, I decided to go with a classic approach and get the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with Onion Rings (both well done). Once our order was placed, it was back to the enjoyment of the ambiance as we engaged in our conversation. When our food arrived at the table, the visual presentation was extra enticing. The aroma was captivating and after saying grace, o was ready to eat. Chicken Sandwich: Meaty Perfectly Fried Well Seasoned Fresh Fixins Buttered Bun Crispy Outside - Moist Inside 10/10 Onion Rings: The BOMB Crunchy Tender Onion Well Seasoned Great Homemade Ranch Dip Well Seasoned Huge 10/10 Three Buddies was truly an amazing experience. This is my new hidden gem for date night. I will definitely be back again very soon. This place is low key and fitting for a good meal and relaxed environment. The price point of the food at Three Buddies is perfect as the portions are filling and the food is high quality. Good food. Good service. Good prices. It's an all around great place.

The tacos were American tacos with lots of lettuce and cheese. As far as sides go, I've had tater tots, hush puppies, onion rings, chole chickpea soup, and naan.

The second I saw it, I didn't care about the price -- I knew I wanted it, so I planned us a date night. When we arrived, there was a birthday party going on, and I asked the maître d' if they were limiting seating because of the event. He didn't quite understand me, so my fiancée just asked for a table for two, and we were seated quickly. The setup was nice, although I'm personally not a fan of pre-set plates and glasses on tables (you never know how long they've been sitting there). Still, our server was fantastic -- attentive, helpful, and made the night smooth. We came for the famous Piraye Kebab Tray. At first, we were looking at the $165 option (Chef Tray + 1 Meze Board + Shepherd Salad + 4 Orders of Piraye Kebab with rice, all baked inside the dough). When we mentioned the price, our server kindly told us about the smaller 2-order option for $85 -- perfect! And let me tell you, Lord above, when I say I would do some things to eat this food again... words cannot describe how incredible it was. It has been three days since, and I'm still thinking about it. I even posted it on my stories, and over 10 people have messaged me asking about it. Chef Tray: Overflowing with juicy, flavorful meat, perfectly seasoned rice with chickpeas (I swear it was made with veal stock), and that roasted pepper and cheese-stuffed dough on top -- divine. Meze Board: The hummus was creamy and rich, paired perfectly with fresh pita. Shepherd Salad: Fresh, crisp, and balanced. My only small regret was that our server misunderstood when we asked for the dough crust to-go -- I realized the next day it wasn't packed up. Honestly though, I couldn't even be upset, because the food was just that good. For drinks and dessert: Turkish Coffee - small but strong, beautifully presented with a piece of Turkish delight on the side that was everything I had ever imagined a Turkish sweet to be: chewy, fragrant, and delicately sweet. Künefe - a dream come true! A warm, crunchy pastry with gooey melted cheese inside, topped with sweet syrup and pistachios. It was rich, nutty, and sweet without being overwhelming -- the perfect ending. Turkish Martini - decent, but not nearly as memorable as the food. All together, including tip, it was about $140. For the amount and quality of food, the attentive service, and the one-of-a-kind experience, it was absolutely worth every single cent. Piraye Kitchen isn't just dinner -- it's an experience. This is a must-try-before-you-die type of place. Oh, and happy birthday, Amy!
