    Chef Special Oysters

    Absolutely LOVED My Experience At Divan ! My Server Maya Was The Absolute BEST . As A Server Myself , I Know Exactly What Great Service Looks Like , And She Treated Us Exactly How I Would Treat My Own Tables . I Was Beyond Satisfied With Her Service ! Farid & Andrew ( management ) Were Also So Sweet And Attentive , Checking On Us Throughout Our Visit And Making Sure We Were Having A Great Time . They Even Brought Us A Slice Of The Pomegranate Cheesecake -- And BABYYYY ... ‍‍‍ The Oysters Were As Per Usual , And The Seafood Pasta Was Delicious . But That Lamb Shank And Duck Leg ?! TO DIE FOR . 10 / 10 Experience , Amazing Food , Ambiance , And Even Better Hospitality . I'll Definitely Be Back ! ( I forgot to get pictures of everything )

    After a great time at Atlanta Symphony Hall for Ledisi, we decided to end the night with dinner at Divan on Peachtree--and it was the perfect choice even after sitting for 15 minutes waiting to be greeted by our server. We started with the spicy shrimp and wings, both full of flavor. For dinner, we enjoyed the lamb chops with spinach and potatoes, along with salmon pasta, asparagus, and salad. Everything was delicious and beautifully paired with a peach old fashioned and dragon fruit vodka. The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere made for an amazing evening. Divan definitely delivered, and we'll absolutely be back!

    My first time visit to Divan was simply DIVINE! This hidden gem in the heart of Midtown is a must try! The ambiance was pretty chill, and far from pretentious. The excellent customer service was welcoming, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. Huge thanks to Manager Farid (the complimentary Saffron Ice Cream was delicious pleasant surprise!), Bartender Jeremy, and David in the upstairs hookah area (try the Spring Blossom blend)! The delicious food tastes something like I've never had before and the pairings are quite unique! Can't wait to return!

    Cool place with outstanding food!! Everything we got made us audibly say "wow." Can't wait to come back from California to try more things! They were out of mussels, so we got shrimp instead -- do NOT skip them. So fire. The kashke bademjaan is also a must-have. The duck leg confit was unbelievable!! For mains, we got the lamb chops (the star of the table and huge), the lamb shank (so comforting and tender), and the sea bass (flaky, crispy, and I could've licked the fava bean purée off the plate!!) We got too many appetizers and were so full by the end, but those leftovers hit the next day. We were too late for hookah, but next time. Beautiful vibe inside! Valet parking only, I believe, unless you get lucky.

    I've always really enjoyed Divan throughout the years. The food is flavorful and delicious and the staff is always so friendly. On this particular occasion, the valet staff was extremely rude to me and my party. We didn't let it ruin the evening. We enjoyed our dinner and when the manager came by to check on us, we told him about our experience (with no expectations) but he did give us desserts and I believed and a round of drinks on the house. He was an excellent manager. Absolutely amazing customer service. On to the food, the mussels were my favorite and outstanding. Everything we had was amazing. I highly recommend the wings as well. If you are looking for something lighter and still flavorful, the cauliflower is a really good choice. I didn't get it on this occasion but the salmon pasta is delicious and one of my favorite dishes. I took off one star because although our waiter was friendly, it took him a very long time to check on us and bring us the bill. I had to find him to ask him to bring us the check and as you can see from the pictures, it wasn't super busy at all. Also took off the one star because parking can be a hassle.

    Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this restaurant... but I'm happy to say that we were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere, decor and music were all incredible. The restaurant itself was an old house that looks like a castle, in the middle of Atlanta. Perfect for a date night! We wanted to try a little bit of a few dishes, so we got some potatoes for starters.. delicious. But the habanero sauce that comes with it, is no joke. Spicy! Then we got some chicken and beef kabobs with basmati rice. Delicious! And to finish it off.. we got some baklava with saffron ice cream. Yum!! All the staff there is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stop by next time you're around downtown Atlanta, you'll thank me later.

    I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Divan, and it was my first time at their new location. I used to visit the old restaurant, but over time, it lost a bit of its appeal for me. Still, I was excited to check out this historic home. The inside is gorgeous. They did a great job with the space, and there are plenty of private rooms, which is great for events. One thing to note--there's an elevator, which some of the women in heels wished they had known about before climbing three flights of stairs. The elevator is functional, but I could see them making it a design highlight down the line. They also have several patios for outdoor dining, tucked into different corners of the home, which is a nice touch. Now, about the food. Divan offers both food and hookah, so naturally, one is going to stand out a bit more. The menu has a lot of choices, but I'd say the food was just okay. It looks nice on the plate, but aside from a couple of dishes, it feels like your standard Atlanta hookah restaurant. With places like Delbar, Yalda, and Rumi's in the mix, Divan is facing some stiff competition. It used to be the go-to restaurant, but for me, it's faded a bit. Still, I'd happily come back for hookah and some small bites, which seems to be their sweet spot now. The restaurant's atmosphere does give off a more premium feel than the food really matches. I had the beet salad, which was tasty, though the goat cheese was blended into a creamy sauce instead of chunks--still good, but I prefer the chunks. It was mostly arugula, and I missed the mandarin oranges. The lamb bolognese, though, was genuinely tasty. As for drinks, I had the Dragon's Tail and Persian Smash--both were fine, nothing extraordinary, but enjoyable enough. I have a feeling sitting on the main floor might offer a slightly better experience, but that's just a hunch. All in all, Divan is a great place if you're looking for a decent meal and hookah. It may not be the top choice if you're after the best regional cuisine, but if you want to relax, eat, and enjoy hookah it's a win!

    My party of 3 had an 8:30 reservation on a Friday night. They got our table ready while we parked. Our table was in a small cozy room, which I found nice so that we could hear each other talk. Our server was great! I believe his name was Que. He gave us time to browse the menu and have honest feedback on the dishes we asked about, which was much appreciated! This was my first time coming but my family member have been here before. All of the food was well done. For starters we had the roasted cauliflower. It was well seasoned and the sauce underneath was great and went well with the crispy chickpeas. Between us we had the grilled tandoori wings, koobideh kabob, mussels, and salmon Alfredo. Everything was well seasoned and well cooked. The kabob was tender and even the rice accompaniment was well executed. We also had desserts and drinks which were great as well. I can't wait to come back!

    We approached the restaurant and pulled in the valet parking line right in front. I think this is your best choice. It is only $10, plus credit card fee and tip. The valet attendant took my phone number, sent me a text and said click the link 5 mins before I was ready to pick up the car. We entered and headed for the check-in desk. I informed them of my reservation, they checked us in and asked if we could stand to the side for a few minutes. We were quickly greeted by another hostess who led us upstairs to our table and provided menus. We started to review the menu and noticed the beer selection was pretty small, with only about eight choices. Our server, Zee, came over and immediately made us feel welcome. This was our 1st visit and I heard the place was called the "Castle" with 4 different levels. I had all types of questions about the menu and layout. Our server was ready for it all. He explained we were seated in the main dining room, on level 2. Levels 3 and 4 had some outside seating, event space and some open lounge areas. I would definitely have to go on a recon mission later to check out the other levels. As far as the menu was concerned, Zee started to give us his recommendation for appetizers and entrees. Listing some of his favorites and other popular dishes. At this point we only decided on the beers we wanted. We both ordered a Turkish beer called Efes. Zee went to get our beers and we continued to review and discuss the menu. We were contemplating a few things as our beers arrived. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share; the PEI Mussels and the Tandoori Wings. For our main entrees, I ordered the Springer Mtn Saffron Chicken Kabob and Wifey ordered the Garlic Shrimp. Zee came to the rescue again, informing us that both of our dishes came with a huge amount of rice and suggested we substitute one order of rice with another side. We decided to keep Wifey's Dill Basmati rice and I would get the sautéed green bean. When he found out we were local to Atlanta he said he thinks we just found our new favorite restaurant. As we were waiting I was looking at other people's plates and the food looked delicious. Our beers and appetizers arrived quickly and we started digging in. The Tandoori wings were falling off the bone tender and seasoned well. Wifey was the first to taste the muscles and she loved them. I tasted them and we agreed the broth the mussels were cooked with and also sitting in the bowl was the star of the dish. That broth was excellent and would make anything taste good. I took a break from the appetizers and said this was my chance to check out the 3rd and 4th floors. I headed upstairs in the castle and both floors looked like someone's house was converted into a lounge area, but definitely in a good way. There were some areas with small tables and others with a very open layout perfect for groups. Both floors also had some outside seating that we will definitely have to try next time. I noticed the seating did not have a lot of shade and was taking a lot of direct sunlight. That could be a problem on a hot summer day in Atlanta. I was snapping my pictures and walking around and Wifey called me to let me know the food had arrived. I headed back to the table and checked out the spread. Everything smelled great and looked delicious. We started tasting everything and were not disappointed. Zee definitely came up with the right suggestion for sides. There was more than enough rice and green beans to share between our 2 entrees. I loved my Chicken Kebob and all I got out of Wifey was "the shrimp are divine". Zee mentioned some great desserts that sounded tempting, but we decided against it and wrapped up the bill. The check actually arrived in a cool wooden box that said "Divan Restaurant at the Castle" This was an excellent 1st visit to The Castle. The food, service and atmosphere were all Top Notch. Zee was very attentive and took great care of us. I can't recommend Divan enough.

The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.
