We had an amazing dining experience at Delbar Inman Park. We feel really fortunate that we picked…read moresuch a great restaurant as we are only here for two days. There was indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. We had amazing service, great food, in a really cute neighborhood. We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

Wow. What a great dining experience! This will be a quick review, as I was exhausted and famished…read morewhen I got to Delbar, after 12 hours of helping my son move from Decatur to Inman Park. We were greeted by smiles and a welcoming team at the host table and I quickly appreciated the Mediterranean charm of the restaurant -- I felt like I could have been in Rick's Cafe Americain or the Blue Parrot! The dim lighting offered a great blend of intimacy and privacy, while still letting me see the people at my table and the food! And the food! My goodness, the food! We had a wonderful sampling of shared appetizers. The hummus and Dill labneh were solid and would have been deemed more than worthy by my Lebanese grandmother! Olives were a revelation, and were done in a preparation that included pomegranate which paired really well with the brine of the olives! The star of the first round, however, was the whole cauliflower, roasted and spiced. Without reservation, I can say it is the most I have ever enjoyed cauliflower - and I shall return for it again! I was already full by the time my falafel arrived for my main course. Falafel was exactly as it was supposed to be, and it was good. I ate it all, and then, a la Violet Beauregard upon leaving the chocolate factory, had to be rolled out of the restaurant! Our server and his food runners were all gems! The manager also came by to chat with us a couple of times. Great people at Delbar!

A Spectacular Dining Experience!…read more The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all truly spectacular. Every part of the evening exceeded our expectations. The Chilean sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled shrimp paired with the coconut rice was another standout, rich and satisfying without being heavy. From start to finish, it was an excellent dining experience. If you're anywhere in the Atlanta Metro area, I highly recommend making this a stop on your list. It's well worth.

The space has a much more open feel to it, which was nice to see. Started with the hummus, which was excellent. For entrees, had the chinjeh and the sea bass. The chinjeh tasted good, was slightly overcooked (I ordered medium) but was fine to eat. Wife really enjoyed the sea bass. The rice for both dishes were quite tasty. Our server, Jonathan, was excellent. Very attentive and always checked to see if everything was okay. Still don't understand why parking ($3) is charged separately. It should be complimentary and then we just worry about tipping.

I could cook this food at home for a few dollars and probably do a better job. I have tried much better Persian food and don't get the hype of this restaurant. Tried a chicken with a tomato and rice, shirazi salad, turkish eggs, and maybe the worst dessert ever in the ice cream sandwich. Even for lunch, this restaurant is at least 30 per person and for dinner, probably closer to $45.

I arrive prior to happy hour ending at 6 p.m. I watch the clock and it gets five minutes before 6 p.m. so I go to the front and ask the host if happy hour will be honored if no one takes my order. She says, the waitress hasn't come by. I reply no. A few minutes later she comes. Isn't prepared and doesn't get my order in timely. I asked her if my happy hour prices will be honored because she missed the order. Mind you, prior to her finally coming to my table I was watching her do nothing besides shimmying around where she could have been tending to guests. She says she can't give me the happy hour price because it is now past 6 p.m. There was zero ownership that this fundamental issue is one she singularly caused. I get up and walk away and took myself to Optimist down the street where I've been greeted and cared for. I am so annoyed by this failure. I don't live in the area so I was looking forward to getting reacquainted. I will no longer recommend this place to others because the service was horrible.

The labneh is so much more creamy. All of the meat is so well seasoned. I love the garlic toum and zhoug. I will not ever order from another Persian place in the city. Yalda clears them imo. And this is from a takeout perspective. I went in person with my parents. Whenever they come into town they requests the above mentioned restaurants. We decided to try Yalda. They prefer here over the others. Said the food is more flavorful, fresh. And that's coming from a Korean lady who is incredibly picky about where she eats in public. With that said, The Sandy Springs location is beautiful. Service was impeccable. Such friendly and attentive staff. Parking can be frustrating but I don't even care lol. Yalda ILY forever!

I finally decided to revisit Divan Restaurant & Bar after my 1st visit, and the atmosphere…read moreimmediately stood out. The setting has a unique, upscale yet intimate vibe that makes it feel perfect for a girl~date, celebrations, or simply getting out for a nice evening. The ambiance definitely helps create an experience beyond just dining. The décor and overall energy feel warm and inviting without trying too hard. The food was presented beautifully and had rich Mediterranean-inspired flavors that felt thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. My oxtail pasta withthe Mediterranean toasted bread was superb, the potatoes with the spicy sauce (or hummus) were my favorites, while my girlfriend's ordered other items she also enjoyed. Service overall added to the experience, and the restaurant has a vibe that encourages you to relax and enjoy your time instead of feeling rushed in and out. Divan feels like one of those places where people come for the food but also stay for the atmosphere. My only CON on this visit was that I ordered the Peach Old Fashion, but I was disappointed that there was no usual presentation covered and unveiling of smoke. Unfortunately, my server just brought out my drink as if it was a regular cocktail. My 1st time ever ordering an Old Fashion, so this ruined my whole experience I have seen when people order one for the last several years. Overall, if you're looking for a Midtown spot that combines ambiance, good food, and a more elevated dining experience, it's worth checking out.

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.

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.

We also received bread and a dipping sauce with the order, which was fresh, warm, aromatic, and delicious. The entire meal was flavorful and satisfying. Even though I'm an omnivore, It would be easy to be a happy vegan if meals were as fantastic as this. Looking forward to return visits when we return to the area throughout the year.

Spots I would rather recommend for a nice night out are Delbar, Rumi's, and Yalda. My friends and I tried the Muhammara Dip, the Feta Cheese Rolls (reminiscent of spanakopita but no spinach and in roll form), the Truva Dumplings, and the Iskender Kebab. The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.
