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.

Let me just tell you, that this recommendation did NOT disappoint. The moment I dipped my pita into the lamb hummus I already knew this was about to be one of my favorite meals and boy was I correct. From the lamb hummus, to the grilled veggies, the chicken kebob to the rack of lambs- everything was truly delectable!!!! Ofc we couldn't skip on dessert. We got the burnt honey pistachio cake that was both of our favs and the mahlab s'mores sundae that was also incredibly good. Our service was really great w/ our server giving us incredible recommendations. And the ambiance was so chic. The bar was truly stunninggggg!!! If you're in the Atlanta area and have a chance to check this place out, absolutely do not sleep on it!!!

Our salad, vegetables, herbs, and wine were five stars, but the meats were all cold. We had to send all meats back three times. This is unacceptable in any restaurant. The manager did not apologize or even try to do anything. She failed. Our server/Asser was/is five stars. Great service, courtesy, and very professional. The review deserves to be one star, but due to the facility, server, and food is five stars, we had to rate it higher. The cooking team and manager failed miserably. So overall it's three stars max, until they can get their act together. Hoping to see improvement as we really like this restaurant and food... Sincerely

The food, staff, and ambiance are consistently enjoyable -- and that consistency is exactly what keeps us coming back. Josh, the manager, always makes sure we're well taken care of. And Zoe, the mixologist, made me a drink with a pineapple foam froth that was so daringly good. We started with the lamb hummus appetizer, then ordered the Salmon Kebab with Adas Polo rice, and my husband had the Chicken Kebab with Albaloo rice. We also got an order of grilled wings and Shirin Polo rice to go -- it made the ride back to Houston that much better! Can't wait to come back again and again and again. Highly recommend!

My sister and I dined here for my birthday. Service was very attentive at every table and our server was good. She didn't hover but anticipated our needs. I ordered the lamb chops but subbed out the lentil and raisin rice for the saffron basmati rice. Asked for the medium cook on the chops. Also ordered some harissa for the table. My stare got the lamb kabobs with dill rice. She let me taste the dill rice. It was ok but the saffron basmati rice was far better to me. My sister said her lamb was slightly overcooked by a hair but my chops were perfect! The seasoning was there but the flavor of the lamb was still there. Overall, I enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

Yalda has indoor and outdoor seating but the outdoor seating is covered so it can get quite hot and humid. We preferred to sit inside. It's a really pretty restaurant from the inside and an open kitchen concept. I really enjoyed the chicken Shish kabob, lamb Koobideh, lamb shawarma wrap, and chicken bites. Our favorites were the fries that came with the wrap and the chicken bites! Lots of flavor and tender. Delicious. The food was very fresh and service was nice as well. Everything came timely and correctly. Enjoyed our visit!

The service was great, and we had no problem getting a table.

The lamb didn't really have that spiced shawarma flavor. Tipsy Sabzi: 3/5, something about the flavor combination wasn't doing it for me, though I usually love a tart drink

I truly cannot express how much this place is a diamond in the roof. The outside there's not much signage, I did not know it was there until a coworker brought me.

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.

We had 4 adults and one 3 year old. We got out for something in the neighborhood of of $240. Ordering is ala carte: we had 3 meats, 3 sides, drinks. We had a very small bit left over. Decor was excellent. A beautiful entryway, muted lighting, muted noise. Service was attentive, friendly, and very helpful. While I'd love to return regularly, price makes that impossible, but it was definitely worth this visit. It will be up for consideration next time we have something big to celebrate.

It's from 3-6pm Monday through Thursday (I believe). They have $6-8 cocktails and a variety of food in the $5-10 range. The food was all fantastic, as was our waiter.

I love a waiter who explains the menu so you know what you're getting into beforehand.
