    1st row: eggplant, pickles, carrots. He refilled the cukes right after I took the pic :)

    For $8, you are guaranteed to fill up your stomach with fresh, kosher, quality Israeli food. Fattest pitas I've ever seen. The kabob was $7.95, but you can opt for the falafel which is less, or the other stuff which I think the highest was $8.95. Finding Pita Palace tonight was like hitting the jackpot. I've been in DC and NYC, but haven't experienced a middle eastern salad bar before. This one was so worth it. I went there right around 6pm on a normal weekday and by 6:30pm it was crowded--people sounded like regulars too. These ladies grabbed a bag of pitas off the wall--apparently Pita Palace sells their pitas in batches of 5 or 6! I'm enamored by the salad bar, because it really is quality food--and that's rare among salad bars/buffet style layouts. They have grilled eggplant (which they've grilled VERY nicely), their own house baba ganouj, home-made hummus, and pickled veggies (including cauliflower), among other selections. They had these awesome carrots tonight, seasoned in a special way. If you have a palate for mediterranean food, this is your place. The kabob (beef) was also fresh and grilled very well. I could have easily split it into two meals. But I was a fatty tonight and ate the whole thing. Gulp. If you have a choice between spending ~$8 (or more) at Whole Foods and pinching salad and small bits of meat to keep the price low, and all-you-can-eat salad bar here which has everything you'd need to be nourished plus a hefty meat pita, Pita Palace seems like a solid deal.

    We got there around 6:53 PM on a Thursday, and there was only one person working. While we waited, a second worker did come in. I didn't note the time we ordered, but we finally got our order at 7:51 PM. It's counter service, so this is pretty slow. However, they were obviously short staffed that night, and were very apologetic about the wait. Yelp has a check in deal for 1 free beer with purchase of laffa, but when I tried to use it they said they don't even serve alcohol. No biggie since it's not like we're entitled to it, I've just never come across such a discrepancy when it comes to check in deals. The setup was a little confusing to me, since there's a "salad" bar that they use to put veggie fillings and sauces into the sandwiches, but I guess it's also self serve if you want to take anything in a little soup to go container that was near the cash register. I'm not sure if that's included with every purchase, but after a while I figured I waited long enough to deserve some hummus and tahini to go. I had asked for extra sauce on the side, and I'm not sure if I wasn't heard, or just ignored because it was supposed to be self serve anyways? I don't know. Anyways, I took some. And I didn't get yelled at, so it must've been OK. Pargiyot Laffa $13.75: This is chicken. Chicken is not usually my preferred meat, but I wanted to try this as it seemed to be a specialty of theirs. It was OK, but I definitely preferred the kefta kebab. The way I would describe laffa is a big tortilla like thing but the texture of pita bread instead. Kefta Kebab Laffa $14.75: I've had kefta kebab at other places, and this one seemed a little less juicy. We did take it to go, and it took some time for our whole order to be ready, so maybe it dried up a little since we didn't eat it right away? The sandwiches were definitely filling, but for me I think it was just missing really awesome sauce. There wasn't a lot of tahini in the squeeze bottles so I wasn't able to get as much as I wanted. Their spicy sauce was really spicy, so only a tiny bit is needed for heat. I would've liked something more like a chili paste to add more flavor without being too hot. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

    Saw a great review of this place a few years back so I've been wanting to try it. I used UberEats. I got two half pitas so I could try two different things and since I love leftovers it was a good idea. Shish Kebab and Pargiyot. I also ordered rice and the humus platter. They need some help in the packaging department. Everything had the appearance of just being thrown together. I bit into my first pita and felt like I was eating stones the meat was so dry. I opened it up to pick at it but eventually threw it out. My second was a little better. The hummus tasted watered down and the pita bread was too chewy. Maybe it was supposed to be that way but it wasn't tasty so I threw it out too. It was a bad experience overall

    Pita Palace is a kosher Middle Eastern restaurant located in the Briar Vista shopping center not far from Emory, across the street from Whole Foods Briarcliff. It's a hole in the wall. I'm not going to go as far as calling it a "shack," but it almost feels like one. This is more of a quick lunch or take-out place than it is a restaurant to sit down and enjoy a meal. I like it because it's akin to Israeli street food. The kitchen prepares many of its ingredients daily, including their own taboon bread. The restaurant is on the La Vista side of the shopping center, facing Whole Foods. It's in a small corner spot. They've crammed a lot of tables into the limited space and there's some covered seating outside. During peak periods, parking can get tight so you may have to park around the corner and walk over. Pita Palace has chicken shawarmas (freshly shaved off the spit), falafel (made of ground chickpeas), schnitzel (breaded chicken), pargiot (dark meat cornish hen), white meat grilled chicken, seasoned beef kabobs, hamburgers, and veggie pitas. You can order the falafel and meats in various forms, e.g. inside a pita pocket or wrapped in laffa (taboon bread). The laffa wraps are quite big, significantly bigger than the pita pockets. They are comparable in size to a Mission-style burrito (such as Moe's or Chipotle). It's a lot of meat/food. Pitas run about $7-10 each, laffas run about $8-13 each. If you don't want a pita or laffa, you can have the meat served on a baguette, in a salad, on as an entree (double meat, for roughly $15) with salad bar items. I recommend ordering the laffa because taboon bread can be hard to find in Atlanta, especially freshly-made taboon bread. Taboon is made out of chickpea flour and is traditionally used as a flatbread wrap in Jewish cuisine. It's soft and slightly spongy. There's a self-serve salad bar that is used by both customers and staff. The salad bar has hummus (chickpea spread), baba ghanoush (eggplant spread), spicy sauces (jalapeno, habanero), Israeli salad (tomatoes and cucumbers), pickles, red cabbage, coleslaw, pita chips, fried eggplant, sauerkraut, and other items. The salad bar is included with most orders. If you order a sandwich/wrap, the staff will use ingredients from the salad bar, Subway-style, to customize your order. I like to load my laffa wraps with lots of stuff: hummus, baba ghanoush, Israeli salad, red cabbage, pickles, and slaw. They also have sauces in squeeze bottles, such as tzatziki yogurt sauce. It is good stuff. Don't put too many sauces/spreads inside or your meal will get messy towards the end. The meats I suggest ordering are the shawarma, pargiot, and beef kabobs. You can see the chicken shawarma rotating on a spit behind the counter. I think this is their most popular meat and it's not uncommon to see it completely gone by the end of the day. The shawarma and the pargiot, both marinated chicken, taste somewhat similar. However, the shawarma chicken meat is sliced thin while the pargiot chicken meat is chopped into small chunks. Either way, you can't go wrong. The beef kabobs are delicious. The beef patties are nicely seasoned with onions and spices and are flavorful and satisfying. I think the meat portions are generous. Overall, I have found the ingredients to be sufficiently fresh and the wraps to be tasty and filling. Service is good. Bottled water and soft drinks are available in a fridge. If you want tap water, you have to get it yourself from a bathroom-looking sink that is oddly placed in the short hallway leading to the lone restroom. Funny enough, it's not the first time I've seen something like that.

    I was disappointed that I did not get as much meat as I remembered getting the last time I was here, which was more than 1 year ago. The cashier was very friendly, and helped me choose what I wanted based on my preferences. She recommended that I go for the schwarma plate without the pita bread to get more meat. When I got home, I found out that I got a schwarma sandwich, adding to my disappointment. I got a choice of babaganouj or hummus and I opted for my favorite, the hummus. They also can make it as spicy as you want so I chose medium spicy. The salad bar is very good. I love the eggplant but it is very oily. One bite and the eggplant wrings out a lot of oil. I like the peppercini's as well. The salad bar has a lot of options.

The service is always incredible, and the servers are very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. The restaurant itself is so cozy and beautiful.

    Absolutely Incredible - Best Meal I've Had While Traveling!…read more I travel all over the country for work, and I can honestly say Delbar delivered one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment I sat down, my bartender Taz took exceptional care of me. I wasn't familiar with the menu, so I trusted her recommendations, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Every single dish she chose was outstanding. I started with the fresh pita and hummus topped with the mushroom, shishito pepper, and egg addition. The pita was warm, fresh, and unlike anything I've had before. The hummus was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The chicken wings were phenomenal, perfectly grilled with incredible flavor and just the right amount of char. The highlight of the night was the lamb neck with the Polo Sefid. The lamb was unbelievably tender and flavorful, and paired with the saffron rice, it was one of the most memorable dishes I've ever eaten. What truly elevated the experience was Taz's service. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about the food. Her recommendations made the entire meal unforgettable. If I hadn't trusted her guidance, I would've missed out on an amazing culinary experience. Beyond the incredible food, Delbar has an atmosphere that is truly special. The entire restaurant feels warm, welcoming, and almost familial as if you're being welcomed into someone's home rather than simply dining out. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous, creating the perfect ambiance without feeling overly formal. The decor is tasteful and elegant, the bar area is stunning, and the dining room strikes a perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. Even the approach to the restaurant and the outdoor space are beautifully designed. Every detail feels intentional and contributes to an experience that is as memorable as the food itself. Delbar has officially become a must-visit anytime I'm in Atlanta. I'll absolutely be returning, and next time I'll be bringing family all the way from Reno, Nevada so they can experience it too. Thank you Taz! Thank you, Delbar, for an unforgettable evening!

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.

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.

The restaurant itself is gorgeous, warm, inviting and calming. We were sat out on the covered patio section, with the lovely wisteria above us and a water feature behind our table. We chose to have the Spring Tasting menu, which includes a mezze platter to start with bread, your choice of entree and a dessert platter. I chose the Kafta and my husband chose the chicken shawarma. The entrees come with a generous side of Lebanese rice. We also ordered the City of Salt cocktail and a mocktail. Starting with the drinks, they were tart, tasty and refreshing. Everything was great, but the mezze platter was the highlight. The babaganoush was the best I've ever had. It had a deep, smoky flavor and was garnished with pomegranate seeds which provided such a great burst of sweet to balance out the savory. The stuffed grape leaves and falafel were also standouts. We also ordered the pickle plate because it was calling to us and what a great idea that was! The flavors here are very intense and might not be for everyone. But if you really like pickles you should give them a try. The pickled beets were our favorite. Our entrees continued the same theme of being positively packed with great flavors. The harissa and toum complimented the meats very well. And the grilled vegetables and rice rounded everything out perfectly. The baklava on the dessert platter was also the standout. This is not the baklava you'd buy at the grocery store and was the perfect end to our meal. It's not overly sweet and is balanced with a slight savory flavor, and the texture was fantastic. There was a depth of flavor in everything that shows care and consideration while crafting the menu at Zakia. You can also see this care in the decor and ambience. I will absolutely come back again in the future and would happily recommend Zakia. I would lastly like to thank our waitress Helen in particular for making our experience so lovely.

    Came for late lunch on a casual Friday...and it was excellent in terms of the low-key, warm vibe…read moreoutside as well as the super friendly service. The waitress was knowledgeable and accommodating with our requests. We also enjoyed the food! It is arguably more filling than it initially looks, specifically the mirza ghasemi, falafel entree, branzino, and a tasty baklava ice cream. Note that the food is collectively more filling than it may initially appear...so feel free to save some for leftovers.

    I would give a zero if I could. As you can see from my previous review I held this place to highest…read moreregard until...tonight. I arrive prior to happy hour ending at 6 p.m. I watch the clock and it gets five minutes before 6 p.m. so I go to the front and ask the host if happy hour will be honored if no one takes my order. She says, the waitress hasn't come by. I reply no. A few minutes later she comes. Isn't prepared and doesn't get my order in timely. I asked her if my happy hour prices will be honored because she missed the order. Mind you, prior to her finally coming to my table I was watching her do nothing besides shimmying around where she could have been tending to guests. She says she can't give me the happy hour price because it is now past 6 p.m. There was zero ownership that this fundamental issue is one she singularly caused. I get up and walk away and took myself to Optimist down the street where I've been greeted and cared for. I am so annoyed by this failure. I don't live in the area so I was looking forward to getting reacquainted. I will no longer recommend this place to others because the service was horrible.

The staff made me feel completely at home, and the owner personally came over to welcome us. He explained that he'd be serving the full menu from appetizers to entrées -- and he delivered with genuine warmth and confidence. Food: The food was exceptional -- truly some of the best halal cuisine I've had in Atlanta. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, authentic flavor. As someone who's tried countless Mediterranean, Pakistani, South Asian, and Asian halal restaurants, Mashawi still managed to stand out in a big way. Service: The service was top‑tier. Warm, attentive, and personal. The owner and staff made sure we were taken care of from start to finish, and their hospitality made the whole experience feel like visiting a second home. Ambiance: The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated. From the presentation of the dishes to the overall vibe of the space, everything contributed to a memorable dining experience. This was my first visit to Mashawi Mediterranean Restaurant, but definitely not my last. They've earned a loyal customer. Kudos to the entire team. ---
