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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

My husband and I visited for the first time yesterday 3/28/26 for our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the most amazing dinner with top tier service. The restaurant seems that it used to be a home renovated into a 3 or 4 floor restaurant. It's more of an upscale vibe which I appreciate. Cocktails here are made in a way in which you only need 1 maybe 2 and the food is delicious! The complimentary dessert and champagne well a nice touch that we truly appreciated. This was a very memorable anniversary for us and I'm glad we selected here to share our time, a great meal and reflective and comical conversation. read more

Divan Restaurant & Bar - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have had dinner there for several times. The food was delicious and unique, the dining area looked good, the service was not bad, but the restrooms were awful. Though labeled as a Persian restaurant, the food there is different from what you get in the most Persian restaurants in town. It is more like "bar food style Persian dishes with some Mediterranean twist". For appetizers, try the duck leg confit (my fav app), carrots with labneh or watermelon salad. For entree, I tried the koobideh kebab and beef shish kebab and both were good. Note that the ground meats they use for koobideh kebab was lean, thus making the kebab more dense--but it was not chewy at all. And if you do not want to carb-load, you can always sub the rice with other sides, such as the spicy-sour cauliflower. Plus, their naan is not as salty as those in e.g. Rumi's and Yalda. The staff there were friendly but sometimes it takes quite a while to order the food or to get my dishes. What I really do not like is the restrooms there. Pretty small, dated, and worst of all dirty (e.g. pee and paper towels scattered around). If they were cleaner I might give 5 stars lol read more

Top-tier restaurant for a birthday dinner! My beau and I celebrated his birthday at Divan and it was divine. The Mediterranean décor gives the restaurant an upscale vibe. There's several seating options--upstairs, downstairs, bar, and rooftop. We both started with the Duck Leg Confit and it did not disappoint! The skin was nice a crispy with a glaze and the inside tender. My entrée selection was the Koobideh Kabob (ground beef & lamb, saffron, and roasted potatoes. I tasted his Blackened Verlasso Salmon dish and it was nice and light. The food was seasoned to perfection. The complimentary birthday options are ice cream or a champagne toast. Our waitress, Meet, was attentive and pleasant from start to end. Dillan in valet ($10 plus tips) was on point. He had our car waiting immediately after we sent the text. Overall, we highly recommend Divan! read more

A top tier experience from the valet to the presentation of the bill. High ceilings, cozy but elegant atmosphere, this is a great spot to date night or a family dinner. We started with the hummus duo, which included roasted chickpea hummus, tabouleh and a cucumber yogurt dip with a fig jam over it. Next, we had the goat cheese, which was covered in pickled fennel, honey, lemon and LOVE. If you don't have the goat cheese, you are cheating yourself. You can use the flatbread to eat the goat cheese like a dessert. Finally, we had the lamb burger with roasted cauliflower and the koubideh kebab with basmati rice. The basmati rice had saffron rice, pomegranate seeds, mint and spices on top. It was also served with a roasted Roma tomato and pickled vegetables. read more

The atmosphere, food, presentation and service all surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend dining at Divan - I'll be back again!

Everything was incredible! From the valet all the way to the service and food, what a fantastic experience. I was served by Meghan and she was very attentive. The ambiance is perfect. The food is delicious. I had the hummus with freshly baked pita bread - it's to die for. I will definitely be here again next time I'm in town. read more

We had a team dinner here and it was delicious! The ambiance upstairs was really nice and cozy. Our server was attentive and super nice. I had the lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly and the spinach was surprisingly delicious. The portion was large so I definitely had leftovers to take. The lamb bolognese and the filet mignon my colleagues got looked great and they really liked it. I was initially sad we weren't getting southern food since everyone was from all over the country, but I'm glad we chose this spot. read more

Stopped in for dinner after catching a show at the Alliance Theater. Make a reservation! It was busy. We had a group of 8 seated at a large table on the middle level. The food is delicious! Our table enjoyed the lamb burger, lamb kabobs, duck confit, hot potatoes, and more. For a large table service kept pace pretty well. There is also an upstairs(I think hookah is there). Great ambiance for date night. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant! If I lived here I think I'd visit weekly. The food was spectacular, and I loved the historic setting. The cauliflower app was beautifully prepared, and despite my husband not liking eggplant, he loved ithe appetizer I ordered too. Spicy shrimp perfectly cooked, like the chicken kebab. The shitazi here does not have onion- a plus for hubs who doesn't like onion. And the the Dubai chocolate tiramisu is hands down the best tiramisu I've ever had- everyone should make it this way! Perfect spot for after a show at Woodruff! read more

Great and delicious the service was amazing it was a great friendly experience and I'd come back again and again

China was amazing, make sure you ask for her!!! Good was really good! The duck and waffles was da great choice!

Our server China provided wonderful service from the beginning to the end. Food and ambiance were great.

I brought my team here during a work trip. They were so excited because of how much I raved about the salmon pasta. I will say, the salmon still outshines the pasta (for me), but their expectations were exceeded. As a party of 17 we had so many different starters and entrees - all in which everyone loved, but the stand out dish that we had to keep coming was the duck leg confit. OMG, easily the best duck I've ever had! Service was great as well. read more

We arrived at 2 pm and brunch ends at 2:30. We were seated upstairs and there were several tables filled initially. Our appetizer was delivered quickly and the food was delicious. Our entrees took quite a while to appear. There was no rush to get us out. Our server was friendly but I wish she would have appeared more often to check on beverages. I was desperate for refills. The entrees were also delicious. The salmon and the shrimp were very well prepared. It is a very short walk from The High Museum and a great place with interesting food choices. The food was definitely a 5. read more

Divans is a city gem for delicious food, tasty cocktails, and a more luxurious feel for dining. I've been a few times and I can confirm that the food is the standout while the service is just as amazing. My favorite server Thaddeus (unfortunately no longer with them) always made myself and my party feel special and catered to. Food: Valassaro Salmon Pasta 10/10: most delicious cut of salmon and a creamy sauce that is the perfect medium between thick yet loose enough to cover each noodle Lamb Chops 10/10: I don't know what they put as the glaze on these chops but it is absolutely the best! Sweet yet savory and not gamey at all. Not to mention the potatoes are divine! Oysters 8/10: these were on a special menu when I went so I am not sure if they will always have them but the vinegary sauce was a new twist that kept it fresh yet bursting with flavor Drinks: I honestly have tried majority of the cocktail menu and I will give it a solid 7/10. None of the flavors stand out for me personally but the espresso martini's were very good. All in all, Divan's is a classic go to for me due to the consistency of food and treatment! Can't beat that in Atlanta where businesses can sometimes not have a real standard to trust. read more

The ambience was amazing. Very elegant and mature. Perfect for groups or a date. If you're a fan of hookah, they have it outside, which is preferred.

We had a fantastic time at divan. Parking was 20 dollars in the deck or valet for 10. Issue with valet is that it's on the main road so it causes a lot of traffic - to avoid sitting in the traffic we just parked in the deck that was 1 minute walking distance from the restaurant. Ambiance was great! Service was awesome. The appetizers were tasty - we ordered the spicy shrimp and hummus. Love when waiters are able to give suggestions of the most frequently ordered items without prodding. The food did not take along time to come out and they had both mocktails and cocktails - the mocktail was great (pink lady i believe was the name) Now the food - was delicious. We all got lamb chops. If you are looking for a soultry flavored lamb chop with a light, sweet barbecue glaze, - you've found your match. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the service and will definitely be back. read more

Divan was delicious. The potatoes were seasoned to perfection and the lamb chops were cooked to a perfect medium temperature. I dined in with my sorority sisters for our Founders' Day (skee-wee) and a server brought us a complimentary round of rose to celebrate. I also had a martini and that was good. Although we were a large group, the waitress split checks with no problem. The ambiance was dark and cute. I enjoyed the decor. Negatives: 1) no parking (valet is $11), and 2) I think management could do a better job training staff about menu items. When I asked where the oysters for the day were from, I was told "the Atlantic," which isn't a terrible response, but if you're going to offer certain items, prepare staff for the important questions. She followed up with "in the MA area," but the initial response put me off. I was actually surprised to see oysters on the menu in the first place, so that interaction made me feel like they're offered as a money grab for the restaurant. read more

Ambiance and service are 5 stars! The food was not as amazing as I was anticipating - especially for the price. But, worth a try for sure. Divan is conveniently located right across the street from the Atlanta Symphony. So, if you have a show, Divan is a great pre-show dinner! The drinks were delicious. They weren't the most unique, but very well mixed and great flavor. I forgot to take a picture of the oysters, but that was one of my favorites. Divan is known for their lamb chops, and they were very good, but not the best I've ever had. They also have some other options - I got a lamb bolognese. Again, good but not memorable. Persian and Mediterranean food is my favorite, but there are soooo many amazing places to compete so I'm not Divan is my top pick. I wonder if they change the menu for summer - I would go back if there was even more to try. Great for a date, and worth a try! Make sure to reservation - it's a cozy vibe. There is an outside, but it was freezing when we went so I'll save that for spring! read more

I normally do not write restaurant reviews but after I experienced a not so stellar experience last night at Divan Restaurant & Bar, I am writing this one. The experience was not altogether bad, but it was certainly not a stellar experience. First, upon entering the doors and checking in with the receptionist, I was asked to wait to be seated. My parties reservation was at 6pm. I arrived at 5:55pm. Another couple who walked in after me after 6pm, had a reservation at 6pm and they were seated immediately. After waiting 10-15 minutes, one of the host attempted to direct us to where we would be seated. The host did not seem to know where this was. The first table was unsatisfactory, then we went another table that was positioned near the kitchen area. All of the tables near the kitchen area and the bathrooms, need to be removed. The odor was unfathomable. Imagine eating food and having to smell foul odors from the kitchen and bathroom. We experienced staff dragging trash cans with trash back and forth as we were eating. Our server was extremely nice, but she appeared to be overworked as she was torn between a lot of tables. 1) I should not have to ask for water. 2) The light on the table was not working properly, so we had to use our phones flashlight to view the menu. The server did not notice this. Another server who walked by noticed it and replaced the lamp on the table. 3) I should not have to continually ask for water. 4) We had to wait an execessive amount of time before the main entree arrived. We did get an apology advising that they were behind in the kitchen. I have been to DelBar and to Rumi's and they both super exceed the service level and the food of Divan Restaurant and Bar. Maybe the night I went was an exception to what everyone else is writing about this place, but it only takes one time for me to have a bad experience, and I no longer engage. I went with high hopes, but was extremely dissapointed. read more

10/10 -- I highly recommend this place! Grae was amazing and provided excellent customer service from start to finish.

My boyfriend and I visited Divan for dinner during our first time in Atlanta, and it instantly became one of our favorite spots. Everything about this place -- from the drinks to the food to the service -- was outstanding! We started with drinks. I had the Purple Rain, and he had the Blossom Martini. The Blossom Martini was truly fabulous -- a perfect 10/10 with an amazing balance of flavors and a unique presentation. The Purple Rain was also delicious and refreshing. For an appetizer, we had the spicy shrimp. Here's a tip: it's not on the menu, but they do have it if you ask! The shrimp came out hot, fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. It's definitely worth ordering. For our entrée, we shared the lamb chops, and wow -- everything on the plate was exceptional. The seasoned potatoes were absolute perfection. I could eat a whole plate of them by themselves! The spinach was also seasoned very well and paired nicely with the lamb chops, which were tender and packed with flavor. Another 10/10! Our experience was made even better by our amazing waitress, Taj. She was incredibly fast with everything. Our drinks came out in no time, and our food followed quickly after. The customer service we received was truly phenomenal, and Taj made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Overall, Divan exceeded our expectations. From the impeccable service to the incredible food and drinks, this place is a must-visit! I 1000% recommend it to anyone in the Atlanta area. It's already on our list of favorites. Trust me, try this spot -- you'll thank me later! read more

8:15pm reservation. Seated at 8:25pm. Waiter showed up at 8:50pm. Food showed up at 9:40pm. Asked for the check and it's 10:05pm and still waiting. I had to order my dessert from the assistant manager after I hunted him down at the bar because no one stopped by our table for 45 minutes+. We were never checked on, no one offered us a drink, an apology, or an excuse. We were sat on the porch as a thunderstorm rolled in and the potted plants on the porch literally blew over on top of us. Food was amazing. Service was ridiculous. I was told a manager would stop by twice and only met him when I had to go find him to order dessert (which was amazing!) and ask for the check (still waiting). Now I'm going to ask for the check again. No one even picked up our menus. This is an established restaurant, I expected a better run business than this. read more

Divan Restaurant & Bar - food was delicious, service was a disaster. - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The manager Andrew..rude...Rude..RUDE!! Took my friend's plate right from her while eating and told us to never come back. All because they were complaining about how long her food took to come out. His attitude from the start was not welcoming. Regardless, there's a right way to do things. Our waitress was good and I can tell she was so embarrassed by his behavior. I don't want to spend my money with a place like that so no, I won't be going back. Food was good, service hell no!! read more

My husband and I dined here while we were in town for a show. We had the persimmon labneh, spiced cauliflower, kebab, and the pistachio crusted sea bass, as well as a couple of cocktails. Everything was amazing. The labneh was among the best dishes I've ever eaten anywhere. So many different flavors, and all executed perfectly. Those spiced pecans are to die for. The cauliflower was also really good. I especially liked that it wasn't cooked to death-- well seasoned and still with a little bite. The kebab was my least favorite thing, but still delicious. I thought it was a tad over seasoned and my husband ordered it medium (it would've been better medium rare). I had the pistachio crusted sea bass, and it was incredible. It was perfectly cooked-- nice crispy crust on the outside and the fish was soft and buttery. I was so sad I couldn't finish it. I'm so glad we found this place; I don't think I'll ever come back to Atlanta without wanting to eat there! Would love to go back and try some more items as well as the hookah lounge. read more

This was my first time here and I must say it was a 10/10 experience.

We went out last night for my birthday!! The service was ok, my problem was the food. My party of four is all sick the next day and we all had something different to eat. My husbands steak was cooked incorrectly. The quantity of cauliflower on my plate to the amount of scallops was insane. We got charged for appetizers. We ordered and never got there was either too much cooking wine or vinegar in all of our dishes and the wine tasted cheap. We definitely will not be returning and will also be making a call to the health department. read more
