    Nature's Village Nature Village's Special Platter for 2

    The food was fresh, flavorful, delicious, and beautifully presented. With a welcoming atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, Nature Valley provided a wonderful experience. Highly recommended

    The food here is fresh and delicious. They give good portions as well. The service is top notch and professional. They give you cucumber lemon water and it's so refreshing. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful. They even gave us free dessert! We will be back.

    When I posted my videos and photos of this restaurant on my IG, everyone reached out to me asking how it was because they had always wanted to try it here. I gave my honest opinion: Positive: -Beautiful interior with a lot of space for diners -Delicious foods with big proportions -Plenty of parking in a lit plaza Negative: -VERY slow service -Not greeted -No smile -Not very friendly Restaurant opens at 11:30 AM. I got there at 1 PM with my Aunt and there was nobody there. I went to the other side of the restaurant lingering and wondering if we should just go find our seat or stand there. There was another couple that was seated already. A server finally came out to deliver foods, don't even acknowledge us, and after putting her foods down, walked away. I had to stop her and asked if we seat ourselves. No hello, welcome, or anything. She didn't smile and only gestured something and walked away. We were confused and walked back to the other side where a man was at the register finally. We asked him the same thing and he went to go get the server lady. She finally took us to our booth. Again, didn't ask us if it's our first time, if we had any questions, nothing. The didn't let the lack of enthusiasm deter my mood because I am there to try out the foods. It took forever for the server to come back to get our order. Foods did arrived in a reasonable amount of time, big proportions, and everything tasted as good as it looks. Took us 2 hours from beginning to end dining there even though there were only 3 couples eating there, including us, during lunch on a Wednesday. That's how slow service was. I can't even imagine how it'll be during a big crowd on weekend nights. The prices were on the same level as Delbar and Rumi's. However, the other restaurants has top notch service. The service here acts as if we're doing them a favor by paying them for the foods. I will probably not come here again even though it's close to my area. If it still stands by next year, I will probably give them another chance.

    We've been here a few times. While we like to try different places, we haven't been out in a while and thought we should go where we know the food is great. They've expanded since we were here, so it wasn't as difficult to get a reservation. I've tried a different dish every time I've been here. They were all wonderful. Today I ordered Qaliya and rice. Wife ordered tikka kebab. Qaliya was delicious, and a rather large portion. Owner is always here, and very friendly. Staff is good, and service is excellent. I highly recommend this place.

    I can't believe I waited three months to try this place after a friend recommended it--I've seriously been missing out! This is hands down the best kebab and Mediterranean food I've had to date. The decor and ambiance transport you straight to the Middle East, and the service is both friendly and incredibly fast. The naan was perfectly thin and soft, and the portions were very generous. Plus, they have a great lunch menu! I'll definitely be a regular here.

    Hands down the best meal I've had in a very long time! Everything was exploding with flavor. The ambiance was beautiful with wonderful seating and decor. Portions are large and could easily be shared. I was so full I couldn't get to the enticing dessert and coffee/tea menu I so wanted to get to! Can't wait to get back! Great for families. My wife and boys both loved it!

    What a great find! We were looking for a new place to try and were so glad we discovered Nature Village through Yelp to celebrate a friend's 65th birthday. While it was a bit tricky to locate--better signage would definitely help draw more customers--once inside, we were welcomed by the warm and vibrant atmosphere. The Turkish-inspired decor is absolutely beautiful, and the cozy, intimate setting made it feel extra special. The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. The managers or owners personally came by more than once to check in on us, making sure we were enjoying our food and having a great experience. Their warmth and attentiveness truly added a special touch to our evening. The menu offers a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes. We started with a mix of appetizers: hummus, falafel, and the appetizer combo. Just a heads-up--the bread isn't included with the hummus, so we had to order it separately, but it was fresh and delicious. For our main dishes, I had the Quzi and my husband had the butter shrimp--both were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The yogurt sides (one spicy, one mild) that came with the Quzi were a surprising highlight, adding an extra layer of taste to the meal. Even though we brought our own birthday cake, we couldn't resist trying the tiramisu, which was creamy, rich, and absolutely worth it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Nature Village if you're in the Gwinnett area and looking for delicious Middle Eastern cuisine paired with genuine hospitality.

    10/10 food, service, seating, literally everything! I could not find anything to complain about. We stumbled onto this place on the way out of Atlanta and I am very happy that we did. Tried the Erbil kabob, Mahshi kabob, and qouzi. The kebab was juicy, the basmati rice was delicious, and the naan/iraqi bread was freshly baked. The real highlight for me were the sauces that came with each dish. I have an obsession with good sauces and those 2 paired reallyyyy well with the dishes. Seating and decoration was all Iraqi + Kurdish themed and the place was spotless. Bathrooms were clean, service was friendly, and I dot. Think you can go wrong with any dish on the menu. Definitely try it out!

    What a beautifully eclectic, reasonably priced and uniquely delicious Kurdish fusion restaurant! As a Mediterranean and Persian foodie, this place really knocked my socks off. From the soothing and authentic music and gorgeously colorful interior to the fresher than fresh made from scratch dishes, some of which I have not seen elsewhere, I can honestly say that this dinner was one of the best I have had in a long while. The service and the owner were delightful, and I would not hesitate to come here again. Do not sleep on this place! It is absolutely fantastic!

    Nature Village is one of the best middle eastern restaurants I've tried in Atlanta and I wish it was closer bc I would be going there so often!! Since my parents didn't have any plans for Christmas Eve, we came here for a nice family dinner. The decor is absolutely beautiful and looks like it came straight out of a movie, and the setup made each booth feel very private! We split the quzi, qaliya, and special platter between four of us and it was plenty of food! All of the meats were so tender, sauces were amazing, and the rice was cooked perfectly. Their desserts looked so good but we were stuffed so I definitely have to come back to try their rice pudding! Overall I'm so glad I got to try nature village and I'll def be back when I'm in the area!

    What a hidden Gem. Feel like I'm in a small Iraqi restaurant with family. Make reservations, place is busy. Excellent host, and excellent service. Started the night with kibbeh. Very good. (Forgot pic) I ordered the ribeye kabob entree. Came with a side of rice, salad, and grilled veggies. Delish. Ate the whole thing. Gonna try some Turkish coffee to finish. BTW, everything is halal. Highly recommend. Authentic decor, food, and hospitality.

    Chicken platter at the bottom

    This restaurant is located in a mostly empty little plaza strip The restaurant is smaller than it seems and looks in pictures, this is a small cozy facility. The settings are beautiful inside. As for the food I ordered the chicken platter ($16.99) I think I assumed it would be a chicken shawarma plate but it was actually just sliced chicken breast marinated. This came with a salad and rice. The chicken had some sweetness and complex seasoning to it and I can't say I enjoyed it too much. It also came cool/warm and not piping hot/hot My friend ordered the chicken kabob but was accidentally given tandoori chicken, the tandoori chicken was not per their taste and overly smoked where the taste was like charcoal and we found out they were actually given the wrong dish and immediately got the right dish. The chicken kabob made with minced chicken tasted less Smokey and better than anything we had tried so far. Service was 5/5 All in all, it's a beautiful place and I see all 5 star reviews so I am confused as to why the food lacked the day we went but I think this was a one time trip for me, on to the next!

Instead, we decided to try somewhere new and headed to Pita Corner in Lawrenceville. I ordered the beef shawarma with falafel. Let's start with the positives. The restaurant was clean, the dining area was well kept, and the restroom was spotless. It looked like it had just been cleaned, which I always appreciate. Now for the food. The beef shawarma had decent flavor, but it was so dry that every bite felt like a workout. The meat clung to the roof of my mouth and my teeth like it had signed a lease there. No amount of chewing seemed to improve the experience. Texture matters just as much as seasoning, and unfortunately, this missed the mark. The falafel ended up being the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful, had a nice texture, and was easily the best thing on the plate. I always like giving new places a chance, but this one just wasn't for me. While I appreciated the cleanliness and friendly environment, the food simply didn't leave me wanting to come back. If you'd like, I can also make it a little sharper and funnier for Yelp while still keeping it professional and believable.

We got a bunch of things including the hibachi (steak and shrimp), Tomiyama chicken, pad Thai, and spring rolls. While everything was just mid, I have to call out the pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai was so incredibly sweet, it tasted of ketchup. The spring rolls were definitely frozen, I could taste freezer in every bite. The sushi was ok, probably the best of everything. The hibachi chef was also very nice and did a great job with the "show". I have to say - the place was not clean either. I know it was probably busier than usual due to Eid, but everything was a little dirty - from dishes to the table to the thing you get your check in, they all had something gross on it. We were able to flag the staff down at some point to clean the table and dishes, but it still felt gross. Super disappointing experience.
