The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.

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!

We are big fans of Mediterranean food and found this place when we searched. When we walked in, we were greeted by a host and got sat pretty quickly. Our server was welcoming and while they were able to meet our request, had to go to the kitchen or a manager multiple times to make a case. The food was tasty-- I ordered the salmon steak and they were willing to give me all greens for my sides. The gambas had too much oil for my liking as well as the calamari.

CL has been a dependable neighborhood choice out of the dozens of restaurants in Decatur. Before yesterday, my last visit there was 6 months ago. Yesterday, though, was surprisingly disappointing. Three of us met there to celebrate a birthday. To make a long story short: the problems were with the service, the food and the management. My friend ordered the special--Chicken Marsala- and was served another dish altogether! The dish that she ordered was not what she got. When she questioned whether or not she'd been served the right dish, TWO(!) waiters said that yes, it was indeed "Chicken Marsala" and that the (non-existent) mushrooms were "tiny" and "chopped up." After another couple of bites, my friend realized that she'd been served fish--not chicken! We alerted the server who took the plate away to the kitchen. She returned --with the plate admitting that she had put in the wrong menu "number," but that the kitchen and manager said that nothing could be done because my friend had eaten some of it. We asked if my friend could have what she originally tried to order (Chicken Marsala). The answer was "yes," but we were told that the MANAGER said that she would still have to pay for the mistake since she'd eaten some of it. The server acknowledged that she didn't know what the dish was supposed to look like. Apparently servers can only identify the "nightly specials" dishes by number and not by sight. In other words, the staff didn't (doesn't?) know WHAT they were bringing to the table! What happened to quality control and oversight? We asked if Cafe Lily would compensate my friend in some way for their mistake (comp that meal; offer to comp drinks, etc). We were also disappointed (and surprised) that the manager didn't come over to discuss what happened or to apologize for the mix-up. This is not a way to say "we care." To add insult to injury, when the bill came, we were charged not for what she actually had ordered, but for the dish that they had mistakenly served (and sent back to the kitchen)--which was more expensive! Additionally, the other meals (salmon and the moroccan chicken dish) were not particularly tasty (the salmon was not that fresh). Overall, it was an expensive (appx $200 for 3) and disappointing experience. Sadly, Cafe Lily seems to be slipping in quality and service. I am crossing this once reliable mainstay off our list.

My go-to is the gyro combo with a side of greek potatoes (the latter are amazing, and you get so many it's like a double-side). The pitas are fresh and their tzatziki sauce is great. Service is always friendly and they get it to you quickly, though at peaks times (read: business lunch hour) there can be a line. There is a small dining room with booths and tables if you're looking to dine in. Prices are reasonable, so if you're at the park or strolling the Beltline and jonesing for a gyro, give them a try.

These were times when Beltline was not even around to help it boost in business. Not too many restaurants in the city can claim to have been around this long, especially with multiple locations. All the middle eastern classics are here and while nothing is spectacular, everything is good. The gyro wrap has plentiful gyro meat in it, on the other hand the bread itself is wet, which one can assume happens during preparation of the wrapping and the experience isn't particularly pleasant. The gyro meat itself is fine. Nothing about this gyro is really amazing, but also nothing is terrible. The price is $10 in 2025, which is reasonable for what it is. Aside from the food itself, the people are nice, everything happens quickly and the place is kept clean. Mediterranean Grill is a long running, small business and probably has a special place in the palettes of many Atlantans.

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.
