Beet salad

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.

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.

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.

Adas polo

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.

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.

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.

Sabzi Polo and Salmon Kabob
Lauren C.

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 had reservations at 9 on a sunday and it was packed. abdullah was our server for the majority of our visit then rachel took over. david was hospitable and took our pictures out front after dinner. all of the staff were great. we started with taftoun and a sabzi plate, dill labneh and garlic toum. for our meals, i ordered the joojeh kabob (chicken) while my friend ordered the chicken kofta. everything was absolutely delicious, although we both preferred the kabob. we also shared the sabzi polo which has so many flavors perfectly complimenting each other. everything was extremely fresh, tasty and leaves you wanting more. taftoun 10/10 sabzi plate 10/10 dill labneh 10/10 sabzi polo 10/10 joojeh kabob (chicken) 10/10 chicken kofta 9.5/10 i loved delbar and it's on my list to visit every time i'm in atlanta. their food is amazing, ambiance is unforgettable, service is superb. ambiance: 5/5 food: 5/5 drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 delbar middle eastern: 5/5

Taftoun, pear and kale salad, polo sefid, sabzi plate, honey harissa chicken
Maddie D.

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!

Hanger steak, vegan gheimeh bademjoon, and fries
Kristen H.

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!

Delicious cocktails
Meredith A.

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.

Aakriti S.

This place is gem if you love Mediterranean food, I loved the dill hummus, crunchy and falafel, refreshing and energetic drinks, mesmerising desserts. Every food items were so perfect and marvellous that you will visit this place again and again. Service is top notch and ambience is gives the Middle East with indoor and outdoor seating. One of the best place for fine dining as well as small family functions.

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.

Delbar Middle Eastern Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Delbar Middle Eastern

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!

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!

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.

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!
