Came here on a Friday night while visiting Atlanta. The place was popping so reservation is almost required. Beet carpaccio: the beets were sweet and refreshing. 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! read more

Might have become my top Mediterranean restaurant in the Atlanta area. All of the locations have been just divine, but this one around Alpharetta might be my favorite. The ambiance, decor and overall vibe is very upscale. Service was top notch, from the host to our server. Big shoutout to Kaleigh/Kaylie who was the sweetest and gave us the best recommendations. I always order the grilled wings because these are to die for, definitely a must!!! All of the dips in smaller orders we got were delicious with the complimentary bread, Muhammara with the walnut is my new obsession. For main entrées, we went with the Honey Harissa Chicken and the Lamb Neck along with an order of the buttery rice to share, with no regrets. The Harissa chicken was a classic spin, perfectly seasoned and paired with pickled onions and salad. The lamb neck was so home-y and rich, falling off the bone, with a perfect broth for the buttery rice. For dessert, we opted for the classic Baklava, solid classic one paired with rose water ice cream, and the Turkiramisú, which was a pleasant surprise, paired with turkish coffee such a delight. Overall an amazing dinner, perfect for solo, date night or groups. Parking is complimentary valet or self parking in the medical center next door. read more

We brought some guests to the Old Milton location of Delbar recently, and while the night had some "interesting" service moments, the kitchen absolutely saved the day. Overall, the meal was a standout. The Sea Bass was the star of the show--it was like butter and genuinely redefined how I think about sea bass. It is a "must-eat" item. We also loved the Chinjeh; it's cooked so perfectly and the flavors are so elevated that I actually thought it was chicken until I cut into it. The Chicken Kofta and Salmon Kabob were both seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the Adas Polo featured a fantastic tahdig that was crunchy and incredibly flavorful. We started with the Hummus, which was solid (the crunchy chickpeas are a nice touch), but the only miss was the Omani Shrimp. It tasted a bit burnt and lacked seasoning, though the green sauce helped. This is where things got a bit funny. Our server was in such an intense rush that she was grabbing appetizer plates out from under us before we were even finished eating! It was a bit embarrassing since we had guests with us, but it was so over-the-top that we couldn't even get mad--we just had to laugh. It seemed like she was just having a major "off" day. The vibe here is spot on. From the moment you walk in, the open space and the aroma of Persian spices let you know you're in for a treat. The lighting is perfectly on point for a nice dinner out. Despite the rush-job service, the food is good enough that I'd absolutely go back, especially for that Chicken Kofta and Sea Bass. Hopefully, next time we can keep our plates until we're actually done! read more

Delbar in Alpharetta is a beautiful dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a stunning atmosphere, with a warm, elegant design that makes it feel special the moment you walk in. The food is just as impressive, with rich Persian flavors, beautifully plated dishes, and plenty of standout options like the hummus, kashk bademjoon, koobideh, adas polo, and pistachio icecream. The portions are satisfying, the presentation is thoughtful, and the menu makes it easy to share and try a little of everything. Service is generally attentive and professional, and the overall vibe works well for date nights, celebrations, or a memorable dinner out. read more

We came for a birthday dinner. Our reservation was at 7. There is complimentary valet and a parking lot behind the restaurant. We had to wait a bit but it gave us time to take pictures outside in the floral entrance. Service was attentive. Apps came out fast and it was a little busy so a small wait for our drinks. We ordered and shared everything which is the norm for this place. My favorite was the salmon kabob. The wings had a nice char on it. The hummus was really fresh. Everything was really fresh. For the birthday girl they brought out vanilla ice cream with rose and pistachios. It was really good too. read more

Delbar is one of my favorites and we stopped in here for a celebratory brunch with friends. We ordered: Kashk bademjoon: smoky, creamy, eggplant deliciousness. Chicken kofta: the meat was very tender and the flavor was so good. Koobideh & egg: my friend raved about it the whole day. Salmon kabab: woah, this was really really good. Pistachio lava cake: well, we drove farther from the nearest Delbar location just for this one thing. One of the top desserts I've ever had. French toast: the orange, cream, bread concoction does work - but it's big so get it if you can share. All in all, Delbar does guarantee a happy belly and a happier heart! The service was good and the whole place is very very picturesque. Perfect for celebrations. read more

We ordered a salad, dill labneh, five meat dishes and two polo (rice) dishes for 6 people and oh my we were happy & stuffed and had leftovers galore. Our server was Lina and she was very attentive and gave great recommendations for food! We sat indoors and the ambiance was upscale. The outdoor area was adorable w covered seats within see-through igloos for colder weather days. read more

Heard a lot of good things about Delbar and it is a beautiful restaurant. Staff are very knowledgeable on the menu and are more than happy to help cater an order to your tastes since the menu can be overwhelming. Everything was seasoned well and cooked well. I really enjoyed the rice dish and the meat was very juicy. I would love to come back again to try more things on the menu. read more

I finally have a chance to try this place out. I absolutely loved the flower when you first walk in. Beautiful and I liked how the valet helped us take a picture. The staff wasn't too memorable in my opinion. They weren't rude, but they also weren't friendly. Our server was great though. She definitely took care of us when we had problems with our food. The vegetarian food was delicious. I loved the falafel so much, I loved how flavorful it was. It didn't taste dry at all honestly, it saved our dinner. I used the hummus and made it into a little wrap. It was delicious! If I had to come back here, it would literally only be for the falafel. I personally thought the hummus was bland as well as the safron tahjid. There was no flavor in the rice. Which was a little disappointing because we did have to order the rice with a lot of anticipation. The crispy part was supposed to carry all the flavor and it was very lackluster. We got a signature dip as well. I can't remember the name, but it wasn't bad. The initial taste was really good, this dip in the picture was good I just don't really like super sweet dips. So the more I ate it the more it started tasting like diabetes in a bowl. My friend swears we should have gone to the Buckhead location. However, a lot of of my friends have all consensually agreed that the meat at Delbar is nasty. I'm sorry I'm not trying to hate on a whole business, but Whether it's the Atl location, Alpharetta or buckhead there's just something wrong with the meat. This is amongst six other people and six separate visits. It seems like we all had to get the meat taken off of our tab. Four out of the six that I've spoken to have agreed it was the beef. The other two said they got raw chicken. I tried so hard to like this place. The chenjeh, which was the beef sirloin kebabs was disgusting. The meat smelled weird and it tasted gammy. My stomach started to hurt after half a bite. I eat and cook a lot of beef so it tasted like the steak was not stored properly and it was starting to spoil. Which is crazy because the initial taste before leaving it in your mouth too long the seasoning tasted fine. The chicken was very lackluster also had a smell, but it wasn't spoiled . I just didn't wanna eat it. I sincerely think the beef sirloin kebabs ruined me wanting to eat meat for the next few days. Our server took the beef line off our tab, but we kept the chicken on there because it was edible. Just not good. Like I said, I appreciated our server, I really tried hard to like this place. She was very understanding. I wasn't trying to be difficult, but I sincerely felt sick after eating the beef. I don't even think I ate a full bite. Our experience wasn't a complete disaster, but I do have to still give them a two because the only thing I thoroughly enjoyed was the falafel. I probably wouldn't come here again, unless I was craving the falafel. read more

Delbar is a Persian restaurant with 3 locations around the Atlanta area. Food is delicious. I got the Kashk Bademjoon, Sabzi Polo, and Salmon Kabob and shared it with 1 person with plenty of leftovers. Service was ridiculously slow while waiting to be seated despite having a reservation but improved once we were seated. Buckhead location was better with timely seating. Beautiful exterior and interior, though the place is small for how busy it can get. read more

The food is amazing, of course!! And the service is good. But wow, this place is expensive. Be prepared to spend a lot of money here. The meat portions were also pretty small considering the steep price tag. The beets were fantastic and so was the cauliflower. The cauliflower was the only thing that was a big enough portion we had to bring some home. Atmosphere was really nice: relaxed and upscale read more

I came here for a birthday with friends and had a good experience. Our server was very friendly and informative. The hosts were welcoming and let me charge my phone at the front. I loved the natural lighting of the interior. And extra points for the good playlist! I had the iced coconut chai to drink. It sufficed as a pairing for the meal, but I wouldn't get it again. It was overly sweet, underspiced, and watery. My friend ordered the sparkling tart cherry drink, which was indeed tart, not too sweet, but refreshing. My favorite food item from our visit was the dill labneh--it was savory and rich. I saved it for later to pair with the main; it went well with the honey harissa chicken. My friend was really into the Sabzi plate. The taftoun was so soft and warm and crisp in contrast to the colder ingredients. The pear and kale salad was delicious, but a little overdressed. The honey harissa chicken was sweet, juicy and tender, but the flavor and texture were both lacking a little depth. Perhaps it could've had more spice or salt or even some crispness or char on the outside. The polo sefid was simple but well-executed, and the saffron butter in it was quite pleasant and subtly rich. It went well with everything we had. At the end, we were brought baklava ice cream for my birthday, which was a lovely treat. I would absolutely come back to try more off the menu. A great experience overall! read more

Delbar was great for a date night. The ambiance is beautiful from the very start when you walk through floral arrangements to enter in the front door. I visited on a busy Saturday night and we were seated immediately for our reservation. We tried the labneh ($11) and hummus ($10) for appetizers. The labneh was creamy and rich, and the hummus was especially good with roasted chickpeas. For our mains, I had the hanger steak ($29) and my husband had the vegan version of gheimeh bademjoon ($18), a tomato stew consisting of yellow split peas and eggplant, and the za'atar fries ($12) to split. The hanger steak was cooked at a perfect medium and the seasoning was delicious. My husband stated he wished the gheimeh bademjoon had more eggplant versus yellow split peas, but overall the flavor was good; if visiting again, he'd try other vegetarian options instead. Our server was friendly and explained the menu when we let him know it was our first visit. As for parking, we decided to forego valet parking in the main lot and self-park in the medical center parking lot directly behind Delbar. Overall, we really enjoyed Delbar and will definitely return again, especially to test out their brunch menu! read more

We came here on Friday evening to celebrate my birthday, and I was genuinely excited to finally try this place after having it on my list for a while. We had an 8:15 p.m. reservation and arrived on time, and although it was a busy night, we were seated about 10 minutes later, which felt reasonable. At first, things started off well. Service was friendly, the manager stopped by to welcome us and walk us through the menu, and our server followed shortly after to take our order. Unfortunately, that's where the experience began to decline. It took over an hour and fifteen minutes for us to receive any food (besides the bread) at all including our appetizer. When food finally started coming out, I was initially brought two incorrect items. One was clearly wrong, which I pointed out, and the other I assumed was my entrée (a steak dish). After I had already started eating, the manager came over to let me know it wasn't actually my order and that the correct dish would be coming. At that point, we were extremely hungry and frustrated. There was continued confusion about what our actual order was from the person that delivered the food to our table, and by the time my boyfriend's entrée arrived, the long wait had completely killed his appetite. He didn't end up eating at all. I boxed up my food and we left shortly after. To their credit, the appetizer was comped, which I appreciated. Still, for a birthday dinner, the overall experience felt disorganized and disappointing. I would have loved to stay for dessert, but by that point my boyfriend who wasn't feeling great to begin with was clearly just trying to power through for me. The few bites I did have tasted fine, though my steak wasn't cooked as ordered when it finally arrived. At that point, we were ready to go home and didn't bother addressing it. Overall, the staff was kind and well-intentioned, but the timing and execution really fell apart. I'd be open to giving it another try on a less busy night, but this particular visit unfortunately missed the mark for a special occasion. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out since it came out to the burbs (the original location is ITP). It is a valet only situation so be prepared for that. We called on a Sunday night a few minutes before arriving and there was no wait for our party of 4. The place was busy though and we were seated at a nice table inside near the door, but not too close. The interior had an upscale vibe as did the clientele. From there, our server guided us through the menu. We started with the dill labneh spread, which was incredible. The citrus was a nice touch on this appetizer. For my entree, I got the hanger steak and it was nicely seasoned. The unique side dish I got with it was the Sabzi Polo. I loved the crispy rice on top, and was a great compliment to the meaty entree. It was so filling, we passed on dessert. read more

Please reserve before you go. The place is always packed with people. The portions are big so we can end up ordering a lot. Was meeting a friend after almost 2 decades so we had too much to talk and share. The dips and falafel were really good. The ambience is nice and the service is too. We had a little visitor at the next table a cockroach but the staff immediately took care of him and apologized. They have compulsory valet. read more

As a newcomer to ATL, Delbar is a local institution that I felt compelled to try. Although the ambiance and decor of the restaurant were impeccable and the staff were friendly, the food fell a bit short. The lamb shank stew was overly spiced with cinnamon and overall the dishes were too salty. The best things we ate were the muhammara and the hummus appetizers. I am not sure that I would return but glad to have spent a lovely evening there. read more

Great service and lovely dining room. We had the kashk badenjoon, stuffed fish, Omani shrimp appetizer and koobideh. The food is good but I am spoiled eating at Rumi's and Chelo. The kashk badenjoon is very good but the bread it was served with was a little disappointing. The shrimp had good flavor but were tough. Being so large they were visually very appealing but tender large shrimp rare. My husband was happy with the fish. The koobideh was good, but again not great. The rice is very generous. One order is fine for at least three people! We had the sabzi polo. They did not have the shirin polo that I adore. The one food that was really amazing was the Chilean sea bass. It is wonderful. So if you want a good meal with great service (or a really great meal of sea bass)Delbar is a good destination. I simply prefer the food at other places. read more

My party and I were celebrating a birthday at Delbar and it was the best decision! We got two dips, Muhammara and Labneh (with peaches). The mubammara slays every time! I did feel that the peaches didn't add to the labneh so I would probably not get it next time. The servers were wonderful and kept giving us more naan! We went a little wild on the deserts and ordered: saffron gelato, baklava ice cream, ginger date cake, bastani nooni, and faloude. Ginger date cake is a scene stealer and it pairs very well with the baklava ice cream. The saffron ice cream was pleasant and had a strong, vibrant saffron flavor. The bastani nooni was a delicious pistachio flavored ice cream between wafers, but it was too cold to eat immediately. The faloude is an acquired taste but it was unique. It has a texture of melted snow cone and heavy on rose flavor. Delbar is always a fun fine dining experience. Will be returning! read more

We are avid goers of Delbar. We have gone to the Inman Park location many many times and have had great experiences, besides twice. However, we decided to try this location out this last time since it was a little closer to us. What a delight it was! It was a quiet Tuesday night and there is complimentary valet upon arrival. Self parking is located on the other side of the street so we went ahead and valeted. The entrance has a beautiful archway with faux florals and a cute fountain. The decor is minimalistic and neutral, the music was quiet enough that you could hear it but not overpowering, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the seats were nice and comfortable. We were greeted promptly by our waitress, China, who was the best ever!! Shoutout to her! She brought us some bread with feta cheese and sabzi (herbs) which we devoured in 5 minutes, naturally. We already knew what we wanted to order so we went straight to business. After seeing how we finished the complimentary bits, she brought out more of each but individually which was so sweet. We got out food fairly quickly, as well. We ordered: + kashk bademjoon (fried eggplant, onion, mint, and kashk) $15 + adas polo (rice with lentils and tahdig, topped with caramelized onions, and raisins) $12 + 2 koobideh kabobs (comes with grilled pepper, tomato) $23 each Not sure if the food was better this time because we were starving or because our server, China, was so sweet or because it was a while since we had Delbar but it was definitely the best Delbar experience we've had by far. The food was incredible! Obviously, we ordered with our eyes and hungry bellies so we did have quite a bit leftover to take home. We did not have any dessert this time but their bastani nooni (traditional Persian ice cream wafer sandwich) is amazing every time. All in all, would definitely recommend this location! It's a lot quieter than Inman Park which we appreciated and the complimentary valet was a nice touch. We will be back! read more

Delbar never disappoints! Big fan of all their dishes and flavors. My husband and I recently took his parents there one evening to celebrate my FIL's birthday - he made a reservation ahead of time - and they loved it! The ambiance, vibe, and flavorful food was perfect. This was the first time ordering the whole branzino. Although I expected it to be a tad bit larger, it was cooked perfectly. Just to note, the stuffed filling is a little bit sweet which threw me off, but I still enjoyed nonetheless. This location is a stand alone building with complimentary valet parking. Will definitely be back since parents loved it! Also, shoutout to our server who brought us complimentary baklava for my FIL! :D read more
