Lamb Roasted Potatoes and asparagus
Trena M.

Food was absolutely amazing. Plenty of hookah options. Drinks were cute and provided the perfect picture opportunities. Plenty of hookah flavors with creative presentations. Parking was ridiculous but park on street it is the best option. Server was on point and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Pera Bistro was such a great dining experience. The food was amazing and the drinks were phenomenal. The octopus was perfectly cooked--tender with great flavor, which can be hard to get right. The calamari was also excellent, crispy and well seasoned without being heavy. Everything we tried felt well prepared and thoughtfully done. Pair that with great drinks and it made for a really enjoyable meal. Overall, just a great spot if you're looking for delicious Mediterranean food and a good atmosphere in Atlanta. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Chicken kabob

I love this place's food, especially the kabob plates. Pastas are good too and Huge portions. lively vibe and patio.

I've had multiple dishes here, I usually get pasta, but next time I plan to try the burger next. My entire table ordered burgers and they looked so good. I love coming here to grab food and drinks with my friends. They do have hookah for those who partake, and they also have a lot of space inside which is nice since many restaurants begin to feel overly crowded. They offer valet parking but I usually find street parking nearby. Although you are not required to "dress up", they will deny you based on what you are wearing, at least if you're a man with sweatpants on.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service got better just took long to get check . But the space it safe is so lovely . They have different sections for dinner party seating at the bar . And let talk about the valet parking . $20 for them to park it in the lot $10 off the lot . Not bad but it tight parking so uber .

COCKTAILS + CALAMARI

We had such a fun dinner at Pera Bistro for our Thursday night girls' night out! Our reservation for 4 was at 8:15 PM, and parking was super convenient--valet was right outside when we arrived, and it was $10 per car, which we could wait to pay for at the end of our reservation. Everything from the service to the atmosphere, and DJ made it the perfect casual and cozy girls night out! We kicked things off by sharing the Crispy Calamari, which came with marinara, tartar sauce, and a fresh lemon wedge--a great start to the night! For entrées, around the table we enjoyed: Char-grilled Wagyu Burger -- juicy and packed with flavor, topped with caramelized onions, aged cheddar, and roasted pepper aioli. Salmon Kebab -- a 20oz grilled fillet of salmon paired with fried Brussels sprouts, grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a tasty lemon caper sauce. We also sampled a few cocktails: CAFE MIRAGE--An enchanting blend of rich espresso, Ketel One vodka, and velvety coffee liqueur crafted to awaken your senses. This luxurious martini balances bold flavors with a touch of sweetness, thus evoking the mystery of distant lands. Perfectly chilled and topped with a hint of creamy foam, it's the ideal indulgence to transport you to an oasis of flavor. EL DIABLO--Lalo Blanco Tequila, creme de cassis, lime juice, ginger beer and fresh mint I can't wait to come back to Pera Bistro!

Pera Bistro in Atlanta is a vibe. The energy and atmosphere is lit!. Food: the food, drink, and hookah is definitely on point . The pasta dishes are flavorful and the steak dish is well seasoned. The salmon meal with the mash potatoes was plenty. Service: the service with the waitress we had was top notch. She was knowledgeable on all the dish and made great recommendation which was on point. Ambiance: is upbeat with a live DJ playing all the latest songs. The energy and atmosphere with the dynamic of people adds to the energy. The hookah is on point and made perfectly. Pera Bistro gets a 4.9/5

Came for my girlfriend's birthday and it was so nice! The decor was cute and they have hookah but you can't smell it. I'm not a smoker and it did not bother me at all. The valet parking is fast and quick but does cost $10 be aware. Lychee martini- on point! The time to get your drinks did take a little bit of time but it was very busy so not a big deal. I ordered their burger. No joke hands down the best burger I've ever had. I can't explain it just order it. Keep dreaming about this burger since I had it two weeks ago. Over all great experience, music, and food!

One of the BEST new restaurants in Atlanta! Food: exceptional Ambience: grown and sexy Services: exceptional This restaurant does live up to the hype. The food and service was just as great as the decor. When you arrive you can valet for a fee or park along the street for free. I had a reservation and went on a Tuesday evening around 7pm. It was a calm night with a good DJ. I was seated immediately when I arrived. Sadly, some other similar places still make you wait with a reservation. I ordered the salmon plate and it has such a generous portion for the price. I cleaned my plate because it was delicious. I also had the whiskey sour drink on the menu and it was phenomenal. Well crafted drinks and food. The owners/managers were very attentive and came over to ensure we were having the best experience possible. This restaurant is run with expertise and care - and it shows! I will be going here again.

Calamari
Micaela R.

I came here with a girlfriend to celebrate her birthday on Thursday night and we sat at the bar and 10/10. Emmanuel at the bar was super friendly and the portions are HUGE. Her and I split kabob and salad and it was delicious and super filling. The drinks were great, highly recommend the Cactus. I heard it does get crowded on the weekends but Thursday night was absolutely perfect, enough people but not crowded at all. I'll be returning for sure!

Ginger Bug
LeMarkus B.

The atmosphere is a certified date night spot. Special occasions, celebrations, etc. The tables are low like a Mediterranean style setting. There is a valet, a doorman and the vibe is very lounge like. They have hookah so be considerate of that. It is pricey, so be prepared to spend some money for a quality experience. Because it was my first time, I made an effort to try small plates and taste multiple different things so the next time I could try something different. The wagyu meatballs were good but if you know food, you know it is just a wagyu label. It is likely just a higher graded beef. However, the sauce was the star of the show. The truffle fries weren't very truffley lol. But I am big on truffle so I love the flavor in excess. If you like a more subtle flavor, then these are for you. Now to the drinks, the drinks were great. I love anything with ginger so I got the ginger bug. Not really like a mule, but it was sweeter and the ice bowl was dope. The flavor was great and it wasn't too sweet. The el Diablo was pretty mid. There wasn't much flavor depth, but not terrible. Wouldn't order it again if I'm looking for a drink with great flavor and a good liquor content. The service was very considerate. Our waitress was attentive and continuously checked on the table. Thank you. I can't wait to come back. Next time, I'll likely order mostly drinks and a small plate.

I'm no stranger to Pera & for good reason. The vibes are always amazing. It's spacious, nicely air conditioned, the food is top tier, and the hookah never fails. The drinks are hand crafted and the garnishes match. The serves are gorgeous and efficient. One of my favorite spots.

Salmon kebab entree
Anetra B.

Arrived earlier in the day closer to their opening time and sat down. First impression : nice decor! Well decorated. Once we were sat down our waiter came over and gave recommendations with a tinge of up selling. I frowned upon that because it's like ..."read the room".. we are very particular. Anyway, we ordered food and hookah. The salad that comes with red onion, cucumbers, etc is HUGE for $12. It was cool. But I think I would e devoured it alone if it had more acidity like a pasta salad minus the noodles . The hookah was supposed to be soooo good and it was "meh" even after I told the waiter what I usually get . I came here bc I wanted to compare it to the other restaurants in town that have similar menus ,price and hookah. To be frank, the food and hookah was better at the other locations AND they don't charge to park in a small parking lot... it's free. The other spots were Pizooki Lounge and Moustache Lounge. Anyway posting pics for your enjoyment.

Best suited for adults ages late 20s to possibly mid 40s. I went during late brunch hours (after noon) on a summer Sunday and it was not busy. There were plenty of seats inside and outside on the patio. The patio is the best seating bc it is tucked under trees which is really cool to take in while you listen to music, chat and watch the visuals on the multiple tvs playing. Chicken skins as an appetizer. I really loved the idea when I thought I was getting the pork rind version of chicken skins but it turned out to be only some skin pieces and majority thigh meat chunks. Oxtail fried rice I found to be fair. It reminded me a ton of roast, as it was tender and tasted awfully familiar like one. My companion advised that the oxtail could have been better had it came with the traditional gravy because without it that made it lose some of the intended flavor of oxtail. The flight was fair as well. TiYou are allowed to pick your own brand liquor to specialize the drink which I thought was dope. The pricing was typical of club pricing. A personal bottle of Saratoga water was $7 which seemed a bit extreme. Gratuity was automatic. If I went again, I would for sure want to experience it at night and I'd likely only want to do drinks and a hookah. I feel like the outside is better suited for that as it was humid and I couldn't enjoy my good to the fullest extent because of that and flies. Parking is $10 and doesn't matter if you valet or self park.

Intro *Full…read moreDisclosure* We only came to this place for hookah and drinks. After grabbing food and drinks nearby, a few friends and I were looking for a place to keep the party going. Enter #HouseOfHookah Ambiance/Vibe The vibe gives very much "club"/"lounge." If you're looking for a spot with a semi-after hours feel, that's dark with low cool/warm lights (blues, reds, etc.), and chill, you've found yourself in the right place. And, as the name suggests, there is hookah - no shortage of it. I don't, however, recall the cost or options, etc, but I think it was fairly extensive. The music was good, from what I recall. 4/5 Service Service was... fine. Nothing outstanding. Just ok. However, it was a hassle just getting in with the different unknown, unposted rules. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics, but I just remember it being more complicated/involved than it should be for this establishment. 3/5 Food We didn't order food, nor do I recall even seeing that there was food available, but according to their Google, there are at least light bites available. N/A Drinks This place does NOT sell nor serve alcohol. You, however, are allowed to bring your own liquor in, but there are some rule(s) surrounding it, soi suggest you swing by and get the full specifics before you show up with your liquor. This played into the issue with service. It felt like the rules were being divulged one at a time. Almost like "here is rule 1", then you do whatever it takes to comply, and then it's like, "Oh, but you can't do that because of rule 2, which is..." It just felt overly complicated and unnecessarily, so, again, for a spot that just serves hookah... N/A Final Verdict 3/5 would not recommend. NOT Lord Wellington Approved. I would only recommend going to this place if you fall into 1 of 2 categories: 1) you are either not a drinker or not drinking at the moment or, 2) you're a college student and shouldn't be drinking. While you can bring your own liquor, you had to buy cups, mixers, ice, etc. It's just a hassle if you're looking to wind down your night with a cocktail and a little hookah, having to go through extra steps (particularly at the time considering you would likely be coming after midnight). Not my cup of tea, so I'd personally never return unless things changed.

I was actually really impressed with this place!…read more Parking: Not the largest parking lot, but I was able to find a spot on a Friday night with no hassle. Parking was free, which we love. For a Friday night, there weren't as many people inside as I was expecting so the reservation I made wasn't needed this time. We were sat immediately! One thing I noticed was, when I walked in there was no security but by the time my friend came about 8-10 minutes later there was a security guard checking IDs and bags. I'm assuming they start this service after a certain point in the evening. Inside, the ambiance was dimly lit and had your typical restaurant/lounge decor and music. I enjoyed the bright colors and think it will look great for brunch due to their patio area allowing natural sunlight in. The only thing I didn't like was the FLOOR WAS VERY SLIPPERY. Like hazardous, greasy slippery. They do have a carpet you can walk on but the bare floor parts almost took me out every time. Drinks: I had the (1201?) margarita and my friend had the lychee martini. We both really enjoyed our drinks. Dinner: I had the honey glazed lamb chops which were actually delicious and cooked to perfection. The crispy Brussels and mashed potatoes were also very flavorful. Everything tasted really good! My friend had the Rasta pasta and she said she enjoyed it as well. I found pricing to be fair as well. Overall, the atmosphere was a little lack luster for a Friday night but the food was great and something I'd definitely come back to enjoy!

I think this restaurant has some good potential to be a nice vibe type of place. Our service was…read morequick and nice, although it wasn't busy. The drinks were great.

This was my first time here at the Atlantic Station location. Keep in mind, the first 2 hours of parking is free and after that, it's $5 and up. So, watch your time or, move your car before your 2 hours are up or find a parking validation. All that said, I chose the Big Time Wagyu ($22.95) -- Double Wagyu Smash Patties, Sauteed Mushrooms, Cave Aged Gruyere, Pancetta, Truffle Aioli, Fresh Herbs, Sesame Brioche and they had Tropicalia on draft so that is a bonus for me personally! The burger came out quickly and almost exactly as it looks on the website. It was hard to tell if it was wagyu beef. It was fine, not great. It could have used a little more salty pancetta or aioli. But it was fine. Not great. I ate at the bar and the service was very attentive between the two bartenders working this evening. Ambiance was fun in a sports bar vibe. Loud music and a few TVs on overhead. Pretty nice overall. I have another coupon that's good until November, not sure it's enough to bring me back for a return visit though even with the great service.

Thank God we came before they started charging for parking, because $50 to park in an 8‑spot lot at what is basically a hole‑in‑the‑wall is insane. Are y'all well? And I still don't know what vibe they're going for. The decor is all over the place... and then they have hookah. Hookah. HUH?!! The smell of hookah hit us the second we walked in, so we chose the patio. I loved the natural light, but the space itself was giving run‑down. The seat cushions looked like they'd been stepped on, dragged, and stepped on again. Now, the service -- I'll give credit where it's due. Our server was great. Attentive, friendly, on point. And the music was a vibe! If you come, come for the vibes and the vibes ONLY! The drinks? Meh. Not terrible, but definitely not memorable. I wasn't expecting much, and they met that expectation. The menu isn't huge, but a few things sounded promising. I ordered the Chef's Crab Soup, and honestly, it reminded me of stew beef or pot roast... but with crab. Weird description, I know, but it actually worked. It was chilly outside, so it hit the spot. We also tried the Grilled Oysters, decent flavor, but way too much breading. Then came the Shrimp Basket, which was... there. The shrimp had no seasoning, the fries had no seasoning, and the chipotle sauce tasted like absolutely nothing. The Seafood Fettuccine Pasta? NASTY. Whatever that sauce was should be illegal. Just no. I sent it back and swapped it for the Salmon Alfredo Pasta. Better? Yes, but nothing I'd ever order again.
