So so good. Chicken swarma served on amazing hummus. Chicken was so tender. It's not a ton of chicken for those of us in America used to huge portions of meat. It's the amount we're told is what we should eat. Fresh veggies & warm pita. 2 slices of yummy warm, baklava, and I am overstaffed. I couldn't eat all the hummus. read more

Rina - Chicken Shawarma Pita/Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've only been here for drinks but finally got the chance to try their food and it was delightful! While Rina is still on Open Table, they actually don't need you to make reservations. There was a sign right at the door that says something like, just walk right in. I would say this place is a fast casual restaurant. Not a lot of diners when we came on Friday night but had tons of take out orders. As we were seated, water and menu were dropped off at our table. I didn't get a chance to look at the full menu but felt rushed to order. Luckily, I had already looked at the menu before arriving. I ordered the spritz with a fruity twist (forgot what it was called but if you like aperol spritz, then this is for you) and my husband, a Paloma. We ordered a trio dip with charred baba ganoush, feta, and cauliflower that was served with some fresh pita bread. This was a great start to our meal and wanted more. I ordered the eggplant bowl with both lettuce and rice. Yall, the fries that were served must have been fried twice because it was crispy and saucy. Would definitely get this again, plus it was super filling. My husband ordered the falafel bowl with lettuce, and he did enjoy this as well. My only gripe is that the "bowl" is more of a platter? Food was certainly delicious and drinks were good. I like going to a restaurant that anticipates your needs, but this didn't do it for me. Our water was empty for awhile and we didn't get offered any until we were heading out. But nevertheless, this is a great spot for yummy food on the beltline. read more

Rina's been on my list of restaurants to try for a while and a ton of friends have raved about it, so I had somewhat high expectations. The restaurant's as adorable as I expected, but I wasn't super impressed with the food itself. We started with the butternut squash hummus. While I liked that veggies were included with the pita, they were dry and didn't seem fresh. The hummus was fine, but oilier than I'd have liked. The red sauce was the best part - great spice, with a little kick. For my main, I tried the chicken shawarma bowl with lettuce - arrived quickly and was a massive portion (everything here is huge). It was decent, but not the best shawarma I've had. read more

LOVE this Mediterranean gem located near Ponce City Market and accessible from the beltline. Never knew this restaurant was here until we were looking for food in the area. There's indoor and outdoor seating available along with a bar. They serve really good frozen cocktails! The food is also very delicious! My husband ordered the lamb burger - 10/10! I ordered the pita which was also 10/10. Very well seasoned and even had a spicy kick to it. The seasoned fries were so good! Great service from the bartenders - they all helped us at some point. The ambiance is super casual and inviting. Definitely kid friendly! read more

From start to finish, my experience here was fantastic. The manager, Shannon, was absolutely fabulous, making sure we had everything we needed, and bartender Ben took great care of us at the bar. Their attention to detail and hospitality really stood out. I ordered a few drinks and sampled the dips--the hummus was the clear winner! It was incredibly light and fluffy, with crispy chickpeas adding the perfect touch of texture and flavor. Must-Try Recommendations: * Cocktail: The Alma - Smooth, well-balanced, and refreshing. * Appetizer: Hummus with extra pita - You won't regret it! read more

Walked by this place dozens of times and finally took a stop in after a run with some friends on a Monday. Went in around 8 which was great because it was super empty. Waitress was patient and happy to do separate checks which is appreciated given how close they were to closing for the evening. I got the chicken shawarma bowl which I thought was super delicious and filling. My main gripe about this place is price. It's delicious and I loved my meal but did find it a tad pricey for what I got. Other than though I loved it and can imagine sitting outside at this place in the summer is a great vibe! read more

One of my favorite casual spots in the city. They have some of the best Mediterranean food and great drinks for a sip on the beltline. Service is pretty chill. You can sit outside and order at the counter or go downstairs for table service. I will dream about their pita forever. read more

Right off the beltline and the ambiance of the space was so beautiful! Falafel sandwich was the highlight of the meal for me! Loved the pickles they came with. One younger waiter was nicer than the other and gave us some insights on the pickles when we complimented on them. The amba dish was beautiful in presentation however I was disappointed in how anemic the pieces of chicken were. The roasted peppers were nice. The rice was dry. The tomato cucumber salad was a nice dish. The fries had a nice crisp to them but was lacking in flavor considering the description mentioned spices. It really needed the dip with I'm glad we asked for because it was not initially brought to us. Our original waiter was standoffish and cold. It was not comfortable to ask him questions about the food. Glad there was a balance in personalities with the second waiter who was staffed when we were there. read more

This location backs into the beltline with a walk up window. The food is Israeli-mediterranean- they serve decent portions, slightly on the expensive side but in line with beltline dining. I had a loaded hummus dish (around $14) that came with a small pita serving and crudité. The hummus dish also has a egg for added protein. The side of fries were really good for the price ($6). They come with a spicy mayo - served hot and crispy. If the window at the beltline is closed, the downstairs restaurant location is hard to access from the beltline, but for us it was worth it. If you have accessibility issues, you may want to enter from Ponce. They only serve bottle beer, but afterwards you can walk to the (murder) Kroger patio and enjoy $4 draft beers :) Very nice service, food comes out quick, and the bathrooms are clean. Look forward to popping in again. read more

What a cute restaurant. It was kept very clean and the workers were pretty nice as well. The food was GREAT and super fresh.

Rina was such a great find along the BeltLine! I loved their outdoor patio -- perfect for people-watching and just steps away from Ponce City Market.

The atmosphere was relaxed and fun -- definitely a spot I'd come back to next time I'm in Atlanta! read more

Love this place for a nice Mediterranean treat. Being raised in Dubai, my taste for Mediterranean cuisine is undeniable and this place is one of the best I've tried in town. It's cute and artsy, perfect for a second date situation or just drinks along the boozy belt line walk. I love the shawarma, it's nothing like the authentic ones I had growing up, but it's not bad. The falafels are the star. Gotta get a side of them. They are tiny but crispy and perfectly flavorful. The drinks are good here too. Service was top notch! Can't wait to revisit. read more

I only have had milkshakes here, but they were delicious. The staff was great and though they were about to close, they welcomed us and did not make it an issue at all.

It's right off the beltline so it's a nice sweet treat to grab if you're on the go they also have a walk up order so that's an option as well . read more

Rina - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been wanting to try this place for a while so wife and I got on our bikes and rode down the East Side Beltline on a beautiful Saturday...Don't do that! If you ride your bike on the "285 of trails" do it on a Monday or Tuesday. This was just dreadful! Anyway, bike parking is very close but I've had thieves try to steal my locked bike from here before so Ulocks and alarms on your bikes people! I'm very well acquainted with Middle Eastern and Israeli food having made multiple trips to the region over the years. Had to order the mezze which was not insanely good by good enough. I ordered the shawarma and was mostly disappointed. I didn't see a shawarma spit from where I was sitting so it must've have been "shawarma inspired". I probably won't try this place again but if you are on the Eastside trail and have a hankering for Middle Eastern, go here with low expectations and hopefully you'll leave satisfied. read more

Amazing food, incredible service, nice ambiance, quick kitchen. Friendly bar tender. Not much more you can ask for. Notable mention: they can make a very good piña colada. Hard to find a place that can actually make a top quality one these days. 10/10 read more

So this place was pretty dope! We got sat immediately, and the service was super nice. The owners family was there eating so we actually got to talk to them as well, and they gave some great suggestions as well as general conversation. I had the chicken shawarma, hummus, and a cookies and cream type dessert (not what you are thinking it would be though). The shawarma was great! It wasn't like back in MI, but it was solid. It was flavorful and plenty of a good portion size. The hummus was really good too! I would have dipped my finger in it if it wasn't frowned upon lol. The dessert, it was unorthodox... but at the end of the day it was delicious af! It was a cream based dessert, ice cream and cookies! I am not a fan but I would have ordered another if I wasn't already satisfied lol. When in the area, I would definitely and hands down come back. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had. Might be my new favorite restaurant in ATL. Service was pretty mid, our server was very inattentive. But the food was so good it still gets 5 stars. We ordered: Falafel appetizer Chicken shawarma pita Grilled salmon Falafel again (had to get a second order they were so good) P.s. the Beach Side cocktail with arak was a great compliment to the food read more

Steak shawarma was delicious. It took a long time to get my to go order. But the staff made it right. Will go again.

We've been to Rina a couple times now, I can confidently say the food is great everyone. We love there Hummus 0, it's light & creamy. We also both love their plate options & we know the food is made fresh! Two things that's bothered us this last time around. First- the inside of the restaurant is cute but incredibly cold. They have 5 ceiling fans cranking all evening. Clearly we were not the only people that felt this way. Secondly- on a Friday night at 7pm they ran out of their house tequila, so instead they had to up charge us for higher shelf tequila. Each cocktail was $5 more than their menu price. Not the best customer experience. I'd still recommend this place, but I'd mention to being a coat if you're sitting indoors! read more

Rina - Hummus No.0 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Had a party of 6 plus a baby on Sunday, 5/28/23. We made the reservation on Seated, an app where you earn money back on meals at certain restaurants (use my code erin2109 and we both get $15!), so we got a percentage back! We sat outside in the uncovered area. It was right above the dumpster, so I kept getting whiffs of that the entire time. If you sit outside, make sure it's in the covered area. Here's what I got: - Hummus ($12): Good! Wish there was one piece of pita for each person. - Falafel Salad ($16): Wow, so delicious!! Huge salad. The falafel was so crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside. Perfection. Others got the Chicken Shawarma ($16), Falafel ($15), and Spiced Lamb Burger ($18). I previously thought the purple cabbage was what made them spicy, but it was something else. If you can't do spice, I would stick to the Falafel Salad. Every cocktail I've gotten here has been amazing. The food is outstanding. Highly recommend! read more

This is a convenient Mediterranean spot right off the beltline in front of Ponce City Market. Came here on Mother's Day for dinner with my girlfriend and it was not too busy so we decided to stop in for a quick bite. The food was alright not bad and not memorable. The steak kebabs were steak kebabs this entree was better imo than my fish and chips. It had a nice flavor and went well with the rice. My fish pieces were a bit tiny and just didn't do it for me. I enjoyed the sauces it came with. I think I would rate this a 3.5 overall the wait staff was attentive and it's in a great location. Some of the decor seemed a little off there were a number of hanging pots/planters that seemed to have died off. I don't know why this caught my eye ha there was indoor and outdoor seating. If you're seating outside can definitely people watch and see something interesting. I'm not sure I would ever wake up and crave this spot but if I was in the area and craving Mediterranean I would likely stop back in. read more

Rina - Drove a Uhaul for 6 hours and just wanted a good meal and some decent service. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I came here expecting a genuine Middle Eastern experience as advertised, but quickly realized the restaurant is specifically Israeli--something they don't openly state. I ordered at the window without looking inside, but when I sat down, I noticed Hebrew writing on the wall. That kind of misrepresentation feels deceptive. The food was overpriced for what you get. My chicken shawarma was small and nowhere near worth the cost. Even worse, they didn't offer cold water, and it seemed like they had no coordination between the staff--three different people came up to ask me what I wanted, even though I had already placed my order at the window. The whole experience was frustrating, unorganized, and disappointing. Between the misleading presentation, poor service, and portion size, my appetite was gone. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Weird, weird, weird vibes. Came in before work off the beltline expecting middle eastern food, was surprised to see fish and chips and various western dishes on the menu. There is a small selection of genuine middle eastern food among the other stuff, I ended up getting a Schwarma which was a mistake. My pita was cold and dry, the israeli salad had way too much vinegar, and the 'charred' Babaganoush tasted bland and store bought. Ended up being very disappointed, especially considering I forked over $18 for the quite unexceptional schwarma, and another 6 on basic dips. Every other person in the restaurant at 12:30 on a Tuesday was eating burgers, chicken, wings(???), and cava style bowls. Feels like I picked the wrong thing at the wrong place. Very clearly a western/American style interpretation of basic Persian food, which I'm sure is nice if you like it. Other things: the location is nice, being directly across from PCM, but the actual restaurant feels sterile and corporate. This is supposedly a third generation restaurant that started as a falafel stand in tel aviv, but you could mistake it for a bowl-style millennial chain. All of the chairs are metal, all of the decor is white or black, tile is an interesting choice. It feels like a cross between a bar and a hospital. Definitely not what I was expecting after hearing so much about this place. read more

Amazing amazing place! This was recommended by a coworker during my time in Atlanta and honestly it was so delicious. The staff is so friendly and the space is very welcoming. I felt as if I was sitting in my living room. I had the Jaffa Fish & Chips which had a magnificent Tempura batter and it paired perfectly with the falafel spice. I enjoyed the meal very much. I also topped it off with The Metzitzim which was a Mezcal based margarita that was quite refreshing. The staff made their rounds frequently that my glass was never empty. I was so hungry after a long flight that I even ordered the Hummus No. 2. I enjoyed it all that I even took an extra order back to my hotel room. The food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend. This place was so serene that our group stayed a little after closing just to enjoy drinks and conversation. The staff was too kind with not kicking us out. read more

My roommate and I decided to walk here and grab takeout from Rina. It was super easy to walk up to from Ponce City Market and order at the to go window. The staff was super friendly and gave her recommendations on what we should get. I ordered the Chicken Shwarma bowl with lettuce. We also decided to split an order of tahini hummus which came with pita & crudites, 3 dips (labneh, baba ganoush, and feta), as well as some additional pita. While we waited for our food to be ready, I got a to-go drink - the Hilton, which was a frozen pina colada. This drink was SO good. Not overly sweet but had great fruity flavors. When it came to the food, the chicken shwarma was delicious and tender and I loved the flavorful sauces that came on top! The feta was a little tough, hummus was delicious, but the labneh was the star! There was a great touch of lemon and Za'atar. Overall, great spot for takeout and I would love to check them out for dining in. read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday. I feel like their menus are simple (food and drinks), which is refreshing and different from neighboring restaurants. We started off with the number 2 humus. When I tell you that is the VERY BEST pita bread I've ever had, I am not joking. Obsessed. - Drink: Hof Alma - delicious, frozen and strong. 11/10 recommend - Appetizer: number 2 hummus - DO NOT SKIP THIS. The pita bread is 87/10 - Main meal: lamb burger - pretty good. Fries were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I'd try another dish with a side of fries next time (the steak looked so good) - Service: our server looked ready to quit his job the entire time, but always polite - Ambiance: this place is "deep". Like long staircase to sit down well below the beltline which is cool. Outdoor seating looking u u not the beltline 15/10 recommend. You should try out their Low Tide Patio Parties the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month. Literally found this out a few minutes ago on insta read more
