Chef Special Oysters
Jordan J.

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 )

Spicy shrimp

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.

Beet Salad.

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!

Ate here for my birthday in Spring 2026…read more The service was REALLY good. Our drinks were never empty, but they were not intrusive. Super warm and nice, but also don't take over your time. The perfect balance. The food - just incredible. We all got something different and I got to taste each one. The Chicken Barg Kabob was everyone's favorite. The Chicken kabob is VERY close though. I got the Soltani which was also amazing. The thing to do though is sub out the Zereshk Polo rice. You won't regret it. I got a little adventurous and ordered the Torshi - pickled vegetables. I'm not really into vegetables and I was a little worried when it showed up and didn't look very appealing to me - but it was SO good. Loved it. The staff were seemingly entertained that I liked it - apparently it's only Persian people that are into it, and they kind of laughed when I wanted to take the leftovers with me. My son liked it too though! And he's picky. We were getting ready to go when suddenly they brought an ice cream and wished me happy birthday. I think they heard my son wish me a happy birthday at dinner. Just really paying attention to detail. So this bright yellow Persian ice cream shows up. I've never had it. It is really different - like a cross between dinner and desert flavors. That doesn't sound good but trust me it's great. Again, my picky son loved it! It's got a saffron-pistachio-rose thing going on that actually really works! Much of this is probably very familiar to those who have enjoyed Persian food before. For our family it was a new and wonderful experience. I love this restaurant and DEFINITELY want to come back for Father's day. This is going to be my new special occasion spot.
