Refreshing
Arnel D.

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.

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!

Branzino, chicken harissa
Tom T.

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.

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.

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.

Buttery Rice, Honey Harissa Chicken and Lamb Neck
Tyrone Omar N.

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.

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.

It's one of their rice dishes. Great recommendations from our server.
Kharren J.

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.

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.

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!

Don't leave Atlanta without trying this place. Overall - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Adana Kebab - 5/5 - this was the first time I had something like this. It was honestly delicious and really stood out. Sooo good, juicy, and flavourful. Labneh - 4.2/5 - Really liked this: it's like a whipped yogurt. The dill one was nice too and probably ordered that one a bit. Bandia Olivieh - 4/5 - this is another type of dip ish dish... really good but I liked the labneh more I'd say. Chicken Kofta - 4.2/5 - so flavourful and tasty. As a chicken lover, this was my next favourite after the Adana. So good. Service - 5/5 - We came here back in July (catching up on reviews). Our server, Max, was so great. Very positive, happy, and just an awesome server overall. Truly one of the best service I've ever had. Ambiance - 5/5 - Very busy, but a beautiful ambiance. Dim lighting with a cultural middle eastern feel. Honestly was so great and we're to the stellar dining experience.
