    salmon
    Michelle L.

    Honestly really disappointed. I came with both of my parents on a Thursday for dinner (they have both been before multiple times). They have raved to me about Zakia and have wanted to take me here for so long. We were all really excited. The inside is very pretty. Tall ceilings, columns, a pretty floral-ceiling patio... food is alright too. Had the service not been atrocious I would have given them 3 or 4 stars. First off, when we arrived they asked us where we would prefer to sit given the restaurant was largely empty. While we were waiting for my dad we sat at a table, but when he came back and wanted to change tables they were all of a sudden adamant that we couldn't. We eventually were able to switch tables. This isn't a huge deal on its own. Our waitress's attitude was horrible. She seemed indifferent to our needs and requests. Courses took longer than they should and her overall demeanor was incredibly rude. She was reluctant to give us new plates and silverware between courses and didn't talk much in general. When she did she was rather short. Additionally, other workers came to check to see how we were enjoying things immediately after the food had been set down and we had obviously not even tasted the food yet... I think our waitress could tell we weren't happy. At the end of the meal she tacked on an automatic 20% tip probably thinking we wouldn't notice. We thought this was very strange... I understand an automatic tip for a large party of 6+ or even 5. But we were a party of 4. We asked her if this was standard and she said no but that they sometimes do it for holidays or weekends...? We came on a Thursday. I pointed this out and she didn't say anything and just brought a new check without the automatic tip applied. What in the world? As for the food, we tried the trio of dips, brussel sprouts, spinach cheese rolls, pickle plate, lamb shank, salmon, filet mignon kebab, and the sticky toffee pudding. Dessert was great! So were the appetizers and sides (brussels and pickles). I really liked the pickled turnips. I also enjoyed the salmon. I felt like it was flavorful enough from the glaze alone and didn't need the red sauce or the crunchy hazelnut topping. Thankfully, we had them though as the filet and lamb were lacking in flavor but were saved by the salmon's topping which we had requested on the side due to my brother's hazelnut allergy. Filet and lamb were soft but really lacking flavor. Overall, I would not recommend and will not be returning. I would recommend skipping Zakia and going to Delbar instead.

    Still delicious! Enjoyed a girls night where I had salmon and the trio. Great cocktails and service.

    Stunning Decor & Fresh, Flavorful Flavors I visited for a girls' night and we had a wonderful experience. The ambiance is stunning--featuring a flower-covered ceiling, a beautiful bar, and plenty of seating. The service was excellent, and the drinks were a major highlight; both the cocktails and mocktails were impressive, especially the Sunset in Tyre and the Habibi Colada. The food was incredibly fresh and vibrant. We started with the quail, whipped feta, and shrimp, followed by the brussel sprouts, batata harra, and a mixed platter. While everything was delicious, the quail, brussel sprouts, lamb, and Lebanese rice were the true standouts. Highly recommend for a stylish night out!

    Salmon done right!
    Renita F.

    Zakia is that girl in Buckhead right now! If you're craving elevated Lebanese cuisine with a chic vibe, put this on your list. The falafel? Perfectly crispy and seasoned. The salmon was cooked just right! Very flavorful, tender, and beautifully plated. And don't skip out on the Brussels sprouts, easily one of my favorite bites of the night. Bonus points for the hibiscus mocktail, which was refreshing, well-balanced, and the perfect way to kick off Dry January without sacrificing flavor or fun. Great food, beautiful ambiance, and a menu that delivers across the board. Ideal for date night, girls' night, or a solo dinner when you want to feel a little elevated. I'll definitely be back

    Lamb shank
    Bruce K.

    Came here for a birthday. Inside it's very pretty and fancy. The servers were great and was very accommodating. For foods, I ordered the Lamb Shank which was braised in red wine. The red wine was very faint, and I think I just had a bad cut of the shank as it was pretty lean, so it was lacking that flavor along with the juice that usually comes from a shank. It came on top of some grains which I thought was very tasty. I did get to try other dishes as well, such as the lamb chops. Those were awesome and I would definitely recommend to get that. The Tabbouleh was also good, so if you're trying to find a good one, Zakia has it. Also another dish I thought was worth thinking about getting was the Kafka kebab. It was great as well and it was full of flavor. That paired with like a rice or something saucy would be perfect. Tabbouleh perhaps? Otherwise, parking is validated for 3 hours if you come and eat here which was appreciated. They do have valet, but parking in the garage and just going up the stairs was easy enough. They did have a small treat for the birthday guest, which I appreciated. Overall, the meal was great and it the vibes were great. I would recommend the lamb chops if you are trying to decide what to get.

    Ambiance

    I chose Zakia for my birthday dinner, and had the best possible experience. The hostess was lovely, as was our waitress Helen. 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. She was so friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a nicer night. Everyone at Zakia made my birthday a memorable one.

    They have small plates so you can still eat things even if you are lot much hungry. Maze Trio is a good sharing appetizer plate which gives you taste of various things in one go ! Service is really good . When asked for leftovers they gave me fresh pita bread The Servers keep checking with you if you are ok. Ambiance is really nice ! Due to glass doors it gives you a outdoor feeling in natural sunlight inside

    Amazing food and service. We were there as a group and starting from the hostess desk the welcome was terrific. It's a large restaurant with a very convenient valet parking. Good was amazing, fresh baked bread witha nice variety of dips Chickpea Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Labneh and Hazelnut Muhamarra. My favorites were the Baba Ghanoush and Muhamarra even though it's difficult to have favorites. Great variety of Hot Mezze which started with Grape Leaves stuffed with lamb, rice, tomato and Kafta Kebab, Chicken Tawook Kebab and Grilled Salmon I had not tasted Lebanese rice before and with almonds and vermicelli it was a unusual new experience. The vegetarians loved crispy Brussels Sprouts. Service was excellent. Water glasses filled exceptionally quickly. A very memorable experience.

    What a delightful evening at Zakia to celebrate my birthday . My wife and I went at 8:30, and there's valet available. There's also three-hour free parking in the deck below the restaurant. First off, the interior is well-designed, with columns located throughout, giving it a chic look! I wish I had taken pictures to show you. But let's get to the "meat" of it all! I went during Buckhead Restaurant Week, which had an amazing set menu -- a sampler, so to speak, of their offerings. This included chickpea hummus, baba ganoush, labneh, spinach and cheese rolls, grape leaves, and falafel. The entrée I selected featured chicken and Wagyu steak kabobs. The sides included cucumber salad, Lebanese rice, and harissa. Overall, I thought the selection of appetizers was great. I think the star of the show was the falafel -- it was moist and full of flavor. Probably one of the better falafels I've had here. As for the chicken kabob, I thought it was well-seasoned and flavorful. However, the Wagyu kabob might be a different story. I know it's Wagyu, but to be honest, I couldn't really tell the difference between that and a regular USDA steak. Additionally, there was some seasoning on top that wasn't really my favorite. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5. I thought the flavors were solid, but there's just so much other Middle Eastern competition around Atlanta that I wouldn't rank this as the best of the best. That said, I'd still come back for a nice evening out.

    Honey harissa salmon
    Devon B.

    This is one of the prettiest restaurants in Atlanta and their food matches the vibes set. I went for my fiancée's birthday dinner and we shared a bunch of mezze and mains which were all amazing. I think the standout was the honey harissa salmon. The service was also very good. She made sure the pacing of courses was good and gave us extra time when we were full after the mezze. We ended the meal with the Turkish martini which was a combo of espresso martini and chai. It is my new favorite espresso martini in Atlanta. I would recommend going to zakia for any occasion you have. They have something for everyone!

    Grape Leaves
    Sheena G.

    Affordable valet, so just pull up and get out so you can make your reservation on time! (it's one of those Atl places). We were told there was a short wait to sit in the flower room, which was ok and worth it. Very beautiful space to dine in, with indoor fountain flowing behind the table. our server was especially sweet and attentive (short, fare skinned with facial piercings). We started with super light and fluffy pita with olive oil, grape leaves, octopus and lentil soup. The soup seemed like the chef was playing it safe, I would have liked a little more mediterranean seasonings but it was still really good (once i added squeeze of lemon). Grape leaves were about some of the best I have ever eaten, highly recommend. The octopus was the right level of tenderness BUT overly charred. smoke city in your mouth. moving on to the branzino served with rice. 8 out of 10. flavor, crisp, perfect deboning, just lightlyyyyyy too much charred taste. rice was pretty good, bland but executed well with the vermicilli type grains we were given a complimentary dessert plate for pir celebration and it included the most decadent chocolate in all of the southeast. Overall a great choice for dinner if you want to step out but not break the bank. Extremely reasonable pricing.

    Deconstructed Baklava
    Constance J.

    My first Atlanta food stop set the bar HIGH. @zakiarestaurant -- a Lebanese restaurant in Buckhead -- and y'all... this was my first time trying Lebanese cuisine, and I was genuinely impressed. But let's talk about the real showstopper: the dessert. A deconstructed baklava that I literally cannot stop thinking about. The pistachio gelato? Insane. The textures, the balance, the flavors... everything worked together so beautifully that I'm convinced this dessert lives rent-free in my mind now. I honestly don't know who could duplicate it. If this was my introduction to Lebanese food, consider me converted. Atlanta, you did not disappoint

    Entrance
    Leyang Z.

    An amazing, unique spot in Buckhead. The restaurant features Lebanese cuisine, so you get a different experience from the famous Persian restaurants around the town. The restaurant was gorgeously decorated, featuring huge classical stone columns, crystal lights and a spacious dining area. The food was different from most Middle Eastern restaurants in Atlanta and tasted amazing. The most interesting dish I tried was the quail. Not only was quail rarely seen in restaurants nearby, but the sour-sweet sauce was unforgettable. For entree I tried the lamb shank. Meat was tender and fresh, and the Jerusalem artichokes tasted juicy and crispy (it's very different from artichokes!). Also, do not miss their seasonally changing vegetable sides! Currently they are serving the grilled asparagus with Meyer lemon labneh. The yogurt had some lemon zest and toasted pumpkin seeds which paired well with the asparagus. Previously they had e.g. roasted whole broccoli; it was also good. While they change the sides, they do not change most of the items on the menu. It would be more exciting if they offer more seasonal dishes! The staff were friendly and generous. Plus the restaurant was not packed with people so you should get your food in a reasonable amount of time.

Intimate, warmly lit, and thoughtfully designed, it invites you to settle in. The presence of books, the scale of the room, the soft energy all creates an atmosphere that feels cultivated. What stands out most is the curation. The wine list is exceptional without being overwhelming, and the option for half pours makes it especially enjoyable for a slower, more exploratory evening. It's clear that every selection has been chosen with care and a point of view. The food follows suit--refined, seasonal, and quietly confident. Nothing is overdone, yet everything feels considered and well-executed. It complements the experience rather than competing for attention. Service is knowledgeable, passionate and attentive. My waiter was incredibly knowledgebale and offered the perfect suggestions. Then, when I was ready to try a drink, the bartender noticed, came over, and suggested a half pour of champagne with the omelette I ordered. Lucian doesn't try to be everything. It knows exactly what it is and executes it at a very high level. It's a place to linger, to read, to have a glass of wine that turns into two. An experience that feels both personal and elevated.

Paired with the seasonal salad, bright and crisp, it created a beautiful balance of depth and freshness. The 2021 Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain was a standout. Smooth, structured, and aromatic, it elevated every dish without overpowering them -- one of those bottles you immediately want to remember. Dessert was the lemon tart, light, fragrant, and absolutely divine. A perfect finish. And because it's Lucian, we didn't leave without wandering the shelves -- and ended up purchasing The Silk Roads by Anna Ansari, the perfect companion to an already thoughtful evening. A refined, welcoming space that feeds you in every sense. We'd return without hesitation.

The prices are a bit high - about $4-5 for a small pour (my guess for red is about 2 oz), ~$9 for a medium pour, and ~$18 for a glass. It's a great concept though where you can try what you want but it can get pricey quick. They have different food options as well, including salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards.

Service: 1 star There was plenty of staff, so it was confusing how things still felt so off.

Slaw on the side was a bit random * trout was slightly salty but still very good and cooked perfectly. Skin perfectly crispy & enjoyed the grilled green onion on top.

    Bistro Niko is a very solid choice for French food in the Buckhead area. The ambiance is what…read morestands out, it is truly beautiful and the open kitchen view at the entrance is remarkable. We loved their oyster, they were super fresh. Our server was very attentive the entire time. We thought their espresso martini was missing something. For main entrees we went with the Duck Breast and Beef Bourgignon. The duck was the stand out. We're not used to Beef Bourgignon be paired with pasta but it was an interesting spin. I would reorder the duck breast for sure! For dessert, we ordered the flourless chocolate cake and it was delicious! Overall a good experience, we're glad to have come. PS: Valet parking is only $2!

    We had an amazing dinner on a Monday night. Who does that? I'll wait lol let's talk about it…read more Bistro Niko is located in the heart of Buckhead, near Lenox Mall and the Marta Station. We arrived about 6 mins before our reservation and valet parked for $3! I know right! We enetered the restaurant and was greeted and seated immediately! Richard was our waiter. He took our orders including beverages. I wanted a Blue Moon but they didn't have any, so I went with a Scofflaw POG, never had it but, it was good. Hubby ordered a Coke, of course. We scanned the menu and all I wanted were mussels. I had the MUSSELS "LE COZE"-white wine, shallots, garlic, cream. Grande $29. The sauce was soooo awesome. The flavors were to perfection! Hubby had the LE GRAND BURGER "AMÉRICAIN"* lettuce, tomato, pickled red onion, BBC bun 8 oz. $22 with fries. He left nothing on his plate. He said the burger was seasoned to perfection. We really enjoyed our time at the restaurant. It was lit nicely, but the atmosphere was amazing. There were multiple conversations throughout the restaurant, but still felt intimate. Bistro Niko owes me nothing but a BLUE MOON! Thanks and be back soon. SYOY!

    3.5 stars actually. I have been to this restaurant twice. The first time was for Christmas Eve…read moredinner, the second time was last week -- to try their Buckhead Restaurant Week brunch set. This restaurant features Mediterranean-Spanish fusion tapas and a few large plates; some are also American inspired. I could not remember clearly what we ordered during my first visit. We definitely ordered the chicken and it was too salty. Service was a bit slow even if the restaurant was nearly empty that night. For the brunch, my friend got the Cinnamon Roll and Prawns & Polenta on the $25 set menu, while I tried their labneh and Local Roots Salad. The Cinnamon Roll was too soggy. The other dish my friend had was similar to "shrimp and grits". It came with seven large, fresh prawns; full of umami. However, the polenta was disappointing as it was too salty, not hot enough and contained chunks of cornmeal. My labneh was very interesting; there were lots of different herbs and spices, and it tasted rich and spicy. It was served with lots of vegetable crudités (radish, sweet peppers, cucumber slices). Finally, the Local Roots Salad actually had not root vegetables; it had better be called Local Greens Salad lol. The olive crumbs were interesting though. Besides, the restaurant charges $3 for two tiny pieces of bread:(
