Fancy and upscale restaurant with valet service option. Good service and excellent ambience, with great food. I will still opt for Yalda as my favorite Mediterranean restaurant but this is worth a try. Ordered joojeh kabob - chicken breast and lamb kabob - both were great and cooked really flavorful and nice but shockingly came without bread or rice. Very nice place and setup for good occasions.
Finally got the chance to try out Delbar! 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!
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!
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.
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.
My sister introduced us to this restaurant and we were so impressed! 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.
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.
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.
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.
It was my first time coming here and the food did not disappoint. Our server was amazing. She was tentatively checking up on us and made great recommendations. The ambiance was nice and overall experience was great.
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.
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.
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!

Pricey..., but also fantastic. I loved the food, some of which was familiar, and some of which was completely new to me. A nice place for a special occasion, but not for everyday meals. We had 4 adults and one 3 year old. We got out for something in the neighborhood of of $240. Ordering is ala carte: we had 3 meats, 3 sides, drinks. We had a very small bit left over. Decor was excellent. A beautiful entryway, muted lighting, muted noise. Service was attentive, friendly, and very helpful. While I'd love to return regularly, price makes that impossible, but it was definitely worth this visit. It will be up for consideration next time we have something big to celebrate. read more

As a longtime San Francisco Bay Area foodie, I've been spoiled by incredible international food and bold, complex flavors, so I'm always excited when I find a restaurant that delivers that same sense of discovery. Delbar absolutely does. The food here stands on its own--layered, interesting and incredibly delicious. I had been looking forward to dinner at Delbar Old Milton for two reasons: a long-overdue dinner with an old colleague and a serious craving for Middle Eastern food. After battling Atlanta-area traffic from Marietta--it took nearly an hour for what should have been about a 30-minute drive--I was ready to settle in, catch up and EAT. I'd previously been to Delbar in Inman Park with a group and loved it, so expectations were high. Old Milton did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Warm, sophisticated and beautifully designed, with a Persian rug welcoming you along the entrance and complimentary valet parking--a huge plus. The young valet team was impressively polished and efficient. I started with a Paper Plane, apparently my new financially irresponsible cocktail habit. Delicious, but these things are expensive! I blame the Italian liqueur. Two cocktails pushed north of $40, so perhaps I need a more economical signature drink. Then came the food. We started with the beet carpaccio: red beets, whipped feta, burnt honey, sour orange, pistachio and almond dukkha. Beautifully balanced--earthy, creamy, sweet, tart and nutty all at once. I let my dinner companion take over ordering from there, which proved to be an excellent decision. The Bandari Olovieh was the surprise of the evening: saffron-marinated smoked salmon with cream cheese, dill, chives, jalapeño purée, potatoes, Aleppo pepper, urfa, hot sauce, fried capers and cornichons, served with saffron potato chips. I'm not usually a salmon person, yet I loved this. The salmon was mild and delicate without the stronger flavor I sometimes associate with salmon or trout. And those saffron potato chips? Dangerous. I could happily eat a bowl of them. We also had the koobideh kabob, made with ground beef brisket and lamb shoulder with onion and saffron, served over taftoun with grilled pepper, tomato and sumac onions. Tender, juicy and packed with flavor. Wrapped in that bread, it was almost like the world's most delicious little Middle Eastern slider. By then, we were DONE. I had every intention of trying dessert, but there was simply no room. It was also getting late, and work was waiting for both of us the next morning. Next visit. Service throughout dinner was friendly and knowledgeable. This is a menu where good servers matter. Ours could explain the dishes and ingredients rather than simply take an order, and that added to the experience. Two small notes on the space. If Atlanta is doing its summertime furnace impression, I'd avoid tables near the doors leading to the patio. Every time they opened, a blast of hot air rolled through. Sit farther inside and enjoy the AC. And while I loved the Persian rug and overall design, the faux flowers and wisteria covering the entrance pergola weren't my favorite. Atlanta sun is brutal on anything artificial, and the rest of the restaurant is sophisticated enough that the entrance deserves something equally polished. Those are minor quibbles. The important part is this: Delbar is serving seriously delicious food in a beautiful setting with thoughtful service. If you're anywhere around Alpharetta or Roswell, make the detour. This place is not to be missed. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal! Sorry, no photos;( read more
Middle Eastern Cuisine in the middle of Georgia! Complimentary parking and valet are available. Depending on when you visit, you might need to utilize valet. This place is beautiful. The decor inside and outside are unique and are a treat to the eyes. The bar is open, bright and spacious. The dining area is comfy and has a great layout. The food is colorful, fresh and flavorful. Every bight was amazing awakened my taste buds. From the variety of hummus and the proteins we selected, beef, lamb and salmon and we couldn't go wrong... Our drinks were strong and refreshing. Service from Averi was excellent. She was very friendly and attentive. Came to replenish drinks and clear plates frequently. I will dine here again when visiting town. Give this place a try. Thank me later. read more

absolutely wonderful first time dining experience here!! the staff and especially our server Tyler was incredibly welcoming and attentive!! our group was there to celebrate a friend moving into town and Tyler made our friend feel special by brining us ice cream at the end and wrote her a nice note on a postcard. aside from the phenomenal service, the ambiance inside is cozy, intentionally decorated, and inviting. the food was also unforgettable - we had the hummus, condiment trio with garlic sauce, pickled veggies, and harissa. The garlic sauce now holds a special place in my heart because it was just that good!! We also got the plain rice with the amazingly crunchy tahdig and our main entrees was the koobideh kabob and Harrisa chicken. Normally I don't care for speciality chicken dishes but Tyler recommended it and I'm so glad we listened. That chicken was so flavorful, perfectly cooked, and paired perfectly with everything else. We finished off our meal with the ice cream and pistachio lava cake. From the welcoming staff to the unforgettable a to the amazing food, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and would happily return any time! #teamtyler 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

This place is always fabulous, but we went recently and it was amazing in every way. Our server, David, was attentive and helpful, always checking in with his "thumbs up"! The drinks were amazing and the sea bass had the perfect flavor. I can always count on the vibe being great. This place is lovely and I can't wait to go back. read more

Another successful visit to Delbar with one of my oldest friends. This has quickly become our "go to" spot when we meet up. The service was fantastic as usual, the food was delicious and the vibe was fancy chill. I had the same dishes that I always have because why mess with what I like? Until next time! 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

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
We are Delbar fans and my recent visit did not disappoint. Arl was our server and he really made the evening spectacular. His recommendations and attentiveness were top notch. He made my mom feel super special in her birthday and everything was delicious! read more

Best restaurant in the Atlanta area! Highly recommend! Best to come early You are required to do valet or else you have to park off property. Valet is free though. 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

Which of the meats served are halal?
Cornish hen, lamb shank and the beef sirloin. It's listed on their menu which are halal. The servers are also very knowledgeable and can tell you how each are prepared when you visit.
What are the herbs that come with the complimentary bread, cheese and walnuts?
I believe it's tarragon. Can't remember if they also use mint or just the tarragon.
Would you recommend the shishlik or the lamb neck?
The lamb neck is good but because of the plum sauce it is cooked in it does have a different flavor... but I liked it!
