    Chicken gyro plat Combo Gyros Plates Combo Gyros Plates
    D M.

    This is the worse that it gets. Especially if you know what authentic Mediterranean food tastes like. Cold dry, salty. They don't even use real taziki sauce. They gave me some type of off brand ranch sauce. I called and spoke to the manager and he said he never had a complaint. And it's on me if I didn't like the food. He also said that there's nothing he could do. And didn't care whether I went to yelp. So here I am! Don't eat here. This food is disgusting!

    I had the lamb gyro and it was alright, the meat wasn't very flavorful & didn't seem like super fresh cut meat but i guess it's a better option when looking for some late night food by the airport and it was decently priced. I also got some mozzarella sticks and they weren't bad at all. Can't go wrong with those.

    Great vegan and gluten free items! 1. The atmosphere is definitely cafe like. Be careful with the table with tiles because they come out and the edges are sharp. 2. The food is good, but portion size could be larger for dinner. The falafel pita sandwich would be great for a quick lunch, but needs a side for a full meal.

    Ranch Gyro Pita Sandwich

    Dry food, takes forever to get your order. And they advertise tzaziki sauce on their dishes but give you *ranch*. Ranch with my gyro. Yum.

    VERY VERY SMALL PORTIONS $11 for a half a plate of food  and the chicken is unbelievable dry

    VERY VERY SMALL PORTIONS $11 for a half a plate of food and the rice wasn't cooked the chicken for some reason has very little flavor but is very gritty like sand is on it this is the only place that delivers late night in my are so it looks like if I get hungry late at night I'll just have a glass of water instead which you'll definitely need if you get the chicken it's soooooooooooooko dry this was such a disappointing experience

    Great service, good food, and fast. Loved the fresh cut bell peppers in the lamb gyro, nice touch. Great stop before the airport to grab some lunch and hop on the MARTA to avoid drop-off mess.

    Ordered for lunch and had it delivery to the office. I got the trio vegetarian plate which arrived nice and hot. The spices were so good in the yellow rice. The falafel was cooked to perfection. Hummus was ok, lacked some flavor but was fine to eat (toasted pita bread was included). The dolmathes have a hint of lemon and we're tasty. Greek salads are my favorite. They forgot to add the Greek dressing I requested but I was still able to eat the salad without it. It was enough food for 2 people. Definitely would try this place again.

    I had a random craving for hummus so I decided to check this place out. The hummus was amazing!!! It was super creamy and the pita bread was warm and soft. I ordered extra pita, but In hindsight I think the pita it comes with should be plenty if you decide to order this. I can't wait to go back and try out their other dishes!

    Stop by here on a Sunday for the first time. The restaurant has only been open a month so I was very curious to see if there were going to be any growing pains. Ordered the chicken gyro And the better half ordered a chicken and beef plate. Our appetizer consisted of hummus which was absolutely 100% on point. Both plates came out and were absolutely great I'll be coming back to this restaurant for sure. It's good to see another restaurant in the college park area.

There was indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. We had amazing service, great food, in a really cute neighborhood. We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

We were greeted by smiles and a welcoming team at the host table and I quickly appreciated the Mediterranean charm of the restaurant -- I felt like I could have been in Rick's Cafe Americain or the Blue Parrot! The dim lighting offered a great blend of intimacy and privacy, while still letting me see the people at my table and the food! And the food! My goodness, the food! We had a wonderful sampling of shared appetizers. The hummus and Dill labneh were solid and would have been deemed more than worthy by my Lebanese grandmother! Olives were a revelation, and were done in a preparation that included pomegranate which paired really well with the brine of the olives! The star of the first round, however, was the whole cauliflower, roasted and spiced. Without reservation, I can say it is the most I have ever enjoyed cauliflower - and I shall return for it again! I was already full by the time my falafel arrived for my main course. Falafel was exactly as it was supposed to be, and it was good. I ate it all, and then, a la Violet Beauregard upon leaving the chocolate factory, had to be rolled out of the restaurant! Our server and his food runners were all gems! The manager also came by to chat with us a couple of times. Great people at Delbar!

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.
