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!

It is a large portion of food for a reasonable price and a good selection of sides like grape leaves, baba ganoush, fries and Greek salad.

It is definitely more of a takeout spot, but don't let that deter you from going. It is all made fresh to order so that is a plus.

Nothing about my first time to the new Rumi's was positive. For a 9 o'clock reservation we didn't…read moreget seated until well after ten o'clock. While we waited, we sat at the bar. I ordered a simple Bombay martini and one of the specialty cocktails for my wife. The bartender made my martini in a shaker and I remember hearing him asking someone else to stir it for him. For the next ten minutes or more, the bartender proceeded to make drinks for the waiters, I remember him spilling out two drinks and remaking them while my martini continued diluting in the melting Ice. Ten minutes or more later, he pours my martini into more of a champagne coup glass than a martini glass, and I waited another five minutes or more for my wife to get her drink. When I tasted the upmartini, It tasted so diluted, just bad, almost commical to me. I just laughed to myself because i've tended bar for a living and that was about the worst martini i've ever had in my life. Either Rumi is watering down his booze or the ice melted so much that there was barely a gin taste in the glass. I think their gig is rather than give you a real martini level pour they dilute you with so much melted Ice that you think you're getting a full pour martini, when, in fact, what you're getting is half gin and half melted ice. And believe ME, you are charged as though it was a real martini. The place was pretty busy, so a lot of people must not have a clue... or just like busy places. If everybody says, this is such a great place, I guess it's gotta be. Unfortunately, that's just Atlanta-if it's popular everyone just assumes it's good or pretends it is. I don't do well with pretend. Next after being seated at the table, i tried to order wine least expensive wines (so overpriced)-they were out of all of the lower-end overpriced wines I tried to order. It just bugs me to overpay so much for bottles of table wine. They're barely twenty dollars charging, 60-80 for them. But of course, ten minutes after I ordered the wine, this happened twice, the waiter told me they were out of the ones i was trying to order ( everyone must have had the same idea). Oh well. Right before the table was served the main course, the waiter and manager came to tell me that they had run out of the dish I ordered. I ended up replacing it with their duck dish that I had never heard of before but what the hell I'll try it (maybe I deserve it, because I remember my father always told me you never ordered duck in a strange restaurant you don't know) Everyone else at the table of 8 were served their meals ten minutes before my plate arrived. i'm like, please go ahead and start without me. Then, the duck arrives. I mean, if you're such a Rumi's, fan, try the duck and tell me what you think. First of all, it was lukewarm for something that apparently had just been made. The lukewarm duck comes 'in" this purple sauce, I mean, it wasn't even swimming in the purple sauce-It was submerged in the purple sauce. The waiter, of course, later brought me the wrong type of rice than the one i oredered..That's okay they brought me a new one right away. I was really starving at the time, but if I hadn't been, I don't think I would have eaten any of the duck. Being submerged in a kind of a sickening, putple sweet sauce it just wasn't appetizing at all. Challenge: if you're a big Rumi's fan, go ahead and please try the duck, but you have to try it like I did- lukewarm temptation. Then tell me if you remain an unconditionalRumi's fan. The bread is delicious though. To their credit when I tried to order 2 glasses of red wine after my meal was served, they did give us the vin de table for free. I won't be coming back here anytime soon.

We've been having catering from Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe over the last two days, and for a…read morecatering option, it's good. I've enjoyed the sliced grilled chicken with taziki (tzatziki) sauce, the Greek salad, baked pita chips with hummus, and the roasted potatoes. I like that the food seems relatively healthy. The chicken strips are tender and flavorful (I like the olive oil and seasoning) and the hummus and taziki [sic] dip are tasty too. I also like the pepperoncini and Kalamata olives in the salad and how good the pita chips taste on their own (they're addictive). The menu description for the hummus is "[a] puree of chickpeas, tahini, touch of cumin, and lemon juice" and for the taziki dip is "Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, and a hint of lemon." Based on what I tasted, I think these descriptions are accurate. Taziki's is a chain with over 110 locations nationwide. The most locations are in Alabama (the business was founded in Birmingham in 1998) and Tennessee. As of April 25, 2026, there are seven locations in Georgia: six in metro Atlanta and one in Athens.

I have to start by saying if I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. First and…read moreforemost, I'm giving Joe Summerhour a solid 10 stars. His customer service alone set the tone for this entire experience. I initially reached out regarding a promotion I received via email, and although we discovered that the promotion wasn't currently being honored at the Atlanta or Milton/Alpharetta locations, Joe didn't dismiss me or brush it off. Instead, he took the time to thoroughly explain the situation and went above and beyond to make sure I felt heard, understood, and accommodated. That level of care is rare. I decided to visit the Windward location, and from the moment I walked in, the experience continued to exceed expectations. The staff was genuinely friendly, my to-go order was ready on time, and everything was seamless. Now let's talk about the food this was our first time ordering one of the family feasts, and it completely blew us away. We typically order individual meals, but this family feast was on a whole different level. The portions were generous (truly family-sized, not just labeled that way), everything was fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The salad was crisp, the food was flavorful, and you could tell it was prepared with care. For context, we're a family of three, and we were able to eat off this meal twice which says a lot about both quality and value. Kudos to Joe, kudos to Taziki's, and kudos to the entire team at the Windward location in Milton. If you're looking for a place that delivers exceptional customer service and real value for your money, this is it. Joe you deserve a raise.

The restaurant was promptly seated, and we started with a Mazza. Our fantastic waitress, Alisa, recommended the Duck confit, which was exceptionally fresh that day. We couldn't resist and ordered it. The duck confit was incredibly delicious and crispy, perfectly complemented by the tangy pomegranate sauce. After savoring the appetizer, we moved on to our main course. We initially wanted to try the Lamb Shank, but Alisa's suggestion of the roasted eggplant and lamb stew was equally enticing. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The lamb was incredibly tender and succulent, while the eggplant was cooked to perfection. The stew was rich and flavorful, making it a satisfying meal. Even a day later, I'm still reminiscing about our delicious experience at Persian Basket. We're already planning our next visit!
