My friend and I came in on a Friday by reservation and had a great time at the Bar. Emmanuel made sure that we had everything we needed at every moment. He encouraged us try different things drinks than we might've usually tried. The food was ok we had the shrimp diavolo and the lamb chops, It was all pretty good but it could be better. There was a DJ and nobody was dancing and that was weird but overall I enjoyed myself. read more

Beautiful spot with plush decor; gold suede ottomans, mid century modern chairs, mediterraian inspired dish sets. All very nice! When we entered, there was a live DJ. The music was the perfect volume - low enough to hear yourself and others but loud enough to drowned out other tables. Our waitress was amazing! She was fun, engaging, and consistently checking on us. To order, we had the octopus, waygu meatballs, calamari, and shrimp casserole that comes with fluffy rice pilaf. Octopus - Nice presentation but the octopus itself was very soft which isn't my preference but others else enjoyed it. Meatballs - The meatballs were very dry and somewhat tasteless. The idea was great but the execution needs improvement. Calamari - Ehh. Very basic. Shrimp casserole - This dish is actually shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce with irce pilaf on the side. Very good and would definitely order it again. Drinks were great and very consistent. If you're into hookah, they have great flavors! Overall, would I come back? Definitely! Would I recommend it to a friend? Yup! read more

I visited this place for my best friend's birthday dinner on a Monday night and wasn't disappointed. It was a late dinner and I had eaten before so I did not try any food, but everyone that got food was pleased and the dishes looked good and plenty sum. The ambiance of the place was gorgeous! The furniture and decor are cute. There's like this patio kind of area that's lit up nice and there's another dining area by a bar where the lights are dim. It gives a sexy vibe. Their hookahs are pretty and they have a lot of flavors to choose from but my hookah was a little too strong. Regular hookahs are $40, the instagrammable teddy bear hookah is $80. The music wasn't bad but a lot of the same songs were played in the span of an hour so they could work on tunes. The service was also good. The valet was a gentleman and he parked my car in the front for $10. Our server was also a sweetheart, which I feel can be rare in Atlanta. Overall this place was nice and I'd go back again! read more

Poor customer service. The only great service was the valet person. Word of mouth is everything. He told me that he would tell the manager/owner SAM my experience. I only came for a carry out, since I had finished driving 22 hours from Detroit Michigan. I was looking forward to a nice Mediterranean meal, since Detroit Michigan has the largest Mediterranean population in the United States. I can't wait to spend the Word about this restaurants poor service. read more

PERA has very quickly become my go to spot in Atlanta as I find myself dining and vibing there at least 4 times per week. I have had exceptional service from everyone but I do want to call special attention to my waitress Cola. I mean the girl is TOP TIER! Has the best recommendations and she's just such a joy. She's an overall vibe-enhancer for real! Love love love her. She basically coddles me in her arms like a child and gives me all the best recommendations and I love that for me. Can't wait to enjoy more experiences with the entire team at PERA. Great work. Pro Tip: Berlin Nights + Vanilla is the ULTIMATE hookah flavor. James Knox read more

This was my first time coming and the experience was excellent. The service was timely and attentive. Large portions of food. Drinks were all well crafted. And the space is absolutely beautiful! Perfect for date night or large groups. The offer valet parking or self parking on the street. Large enclosed patio with plenty of seating. Music is upbeat and not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Overall, a great new addition to this neighborhood! I will definitely be back again. Make sure to ask for Emmanuel! read more

Great food and drinks. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. Pricey?! YES!! Nice place for a celebration.

Staff and servers are great here! Cool vibe on the upper Westside. Food is always yummy too!

Reserved my wife's birthday dinner weeks in advance just for them to be clueless when it came to the actual day. They split us up between several tables then attempted to gaslight us into believing we booked it that way. The birthday girl was forced to move from table to table to interact with her family. & Rather than provide any concessions for this inconvenience, restaurant management insisted they could not. Even when I was open to accepting ANY concession no matter how small, they outright refused saying it was their policy. 0/10 experience. Would recommend to no one. The waitress was kind. I knew she was not the cause of these inconveniences nor could she fix them. Management kept attempting to scapegoat her by putting her in the line of fire during the discussion. I'd urge others to reconsider working here as well. read more

Great atmosphere. Excellent service. The food was amazing. Was greated at the door and felt so welcome. I will definitely come back for girls' night out.. drinks were strong and tasty. Don't show up if you are under 21... read more

Pera Bistro is my new go-to for an after work wind down. When you walk in, the atmosphere sets the perfect tone-- indoor/outdoor (enclosed patio) warm, inviting, and stylish without being pretentious. I always hit the bar to connect with my favorite bartender Emmanuel. Bar service is great and Emmanuel has a passion for craft drinks so don't be afraid to go off menu for an amazing cocktail experience--balanced, inventive, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. One of my favorites is his Bourbon Smash, a perfect mix of flavors and complexity. As for the food, it absolutely held its own. The Spicy Feta is nice app to kick things off and the Chicken or Shisk Kebabs are always perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Every bite was a testament to the chef's skill, and it complemented the drinks perfectly. If you're looking for a place that nails both creative cocktails and top-notch food, this spot is a must-visit. read more

The wait staff was amazing and the table service was consistent and attentive. The food was great - kebabs were a good flavorful option especially if you're into Mediterranean cuisine. Pastas were yummy and had huge portions. The vibe inside was very nice, spacious, and clean. Oh and didn't smell like a bunch of hookah even though it was there. 8/10 do recommend read more

If I could give it less stars, it wouldn't have any. I walk in and the hostess just stares at me until I asked "do you work here?" She says "yes" very dry. I literally had to pull information out of he. then they sit 8 ppl at a table made for 6 and told my auntie that they can't pull two tables together so that we can be comfortable. Then we see them pull tables together for others. On top of that, the waiter charged my cousin for something she ordered but didn't get and tried to tell her that she got it when i was sitting right there and she didn't. Then lastl, my ticket was 99.94. Not sure why shit is so expensive the food is bland. But I tip $10 and they charged my card $209. I had to go back in the restaurant immediately to dispute the charge. And if that extra $100 is not back in my account im disputing the whole charge read more

Really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. It was a cute date night spot! Got the chicken thigh plate and salmon with mashed potatoes. I was surprised at how seasoned and juicy the chicken was! Definitely recommend. read more

Pera Bistro - Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Terrible first impression. We had an 8:00 reservation on a Sunday nite and the valet was already full and we had to wait 20 mins for a seat, even with reservations. I ordered the chicken kabobs and the chicken was still pink. At this point I was ready to go. I had full intentions of getting hookah but I was so annoyed I was ready to go. So I left ...Happy Birthday to me. SMH read more

The servers were attentive! The feta dip is pretty great. The drinks were crafted with care and very strong! The food was not memorable. We tried 3 appetizers and decided to not order anymore food. The waygu meatballs were overcooked and tasted gamey. We sent the sea bass ceviche back as it lacked a signature acid to bring out the flavors. The atmosphere was inviting and made you want to stay a little longer than you should while enjoying time with friends. The hookah was ok. I would go back but only to order drinks read more

The food and service were both really good. But the additional charges at this place are ridiculous and enough to make it one and done for us. $10 valet. $20 for "VIP valet" no clue what that is but I'll pass. 20% service charge added to each order. And now my favorite - $10 charge for water that I am almost certain was tap water put in a glass bottle. We asked for " still water" $10 charge. What the heck? They are definitely going for a club vibe which isn't my scene for a Monday night dinner. read more

I had the steak pesto and cactus drink. Def just go for the vibe, hookah, dj, drink. Pasta wasn't seasoned.

If I could give 5 stars I would however it's summer time in Georgia and the flies were flying! The ambiance was amazing very beautiful decor. The food was absolutely the best I've had since being in Georgia very pleased. The service was amazing our waitress Cola was extremely attentive and recommended great options. Will definitely be checking this out again the next time I'm in town. read more

I came to Pera Bistro w my husband a few days ago to celebrate a promotion he recently received at work. I was (and am) very excited to have a restaurant on this NW side of town. When I got to Pera, things started off on a bad foot. The parking here is outrageous, full stop. There is a perfectly good, if small, lot in front of the building that Pera has added valet to. But to give you car to the valet you need to park in one of (at the time) one of the many perfectly fine open spots in the lot. Not much reason to do paid valet when the spots are right there in front of the building. If you don't want to pay a valet for parking you basically do yourself you can park on the street, but, yknow it's. A pretty busy street, you're on a curve and it's somewhat dangerous to walk across the road to pera. This parking situation puts you in a sour mood starting our meal. It got a little worse when there was a massive bug on one of our plates and very loud music playing above us. (Staff was kind enough to let us move further from the speakers). Oh, and it's a hookah bar so you need to deal with that smell. Fortunately there weren't many people there at the time I went so the hookah smoke wasn't too bad. Anyway, because of the parking situation, I was coming in kind of annoyed and was thinking this food better be pretty d*** good or I am not coming back here purely because of the parking/music. But honestly... the food WAS really good. Spicy feta was rich, flavorful and had nice warm soft bread with it. The octopus appetizer was cooked just right and had two great salads with it. My flank steak and husbands lamb were both fantastic, perfectly cooked. Cocktails were tasty, creative, and looked great. And there's plenty on the menu I still want to try. Service was good. Staff wasn't super chummy or anything but they were reasonably quick and attentive. No complaints there. I will definitely come back for another nice date night. read more

Pera Bistro - Patio area - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The hostesses and waitresses weren't communicating properly which made it difficult when we had a reservation and still had to wait on seating. And I don't mean 30 mins I'm talking about over an hour WITH a reservation. The lamb chops were not good but the sides were and the bartender made my drink too strong and i was going to have to pay to get a new drink made the correct way. I shouldn't have to pay for something that was incorrectly made. Simple. I will not be returning. read more

Not only was the food amazing but the service was so impeccable that it's one of my top three favorite places to go. We started with the ceviche, which was perfect! We then had the seafood pasta option, lamb chops & ribs. The pasta was the best pasta I've had in a long time! Cola was absolutely sweet, very attentative and refreshing! She had a great attitude, knew the entire menu and made great recommendations. The only waitress I actually really enjoy coming to see for the experience! read more

looking for a dope chill vibe. look no further. the food is AMAZING and so is the staff. Tori was great!

Great spot. Bartender and owner are great. The recommendations and service were spot on. 10/10

Went to Pera for the first time and had an AMAZING experience! We sat at the bar with Phe and she provided such wonderful hospitality. I enjoyed the tiger shrimp appetizer with my friend and it had the perfect amount of flavor and spice. The atmosphere is immaculate and I will definitely be recommending my friends to visit soon! Give it a try!! read more

DO NOT BELIEVE THE SOCIAL MEDIA HYPE! Save your money & go to Pasha. It's basically the same place except lower class yet more expensive. The valet is $20 for you to watch them park your car & give you the key back lol. Then you have to walk back to your car... my server took 20 minutes to come to my table to order. They CLEARLY & BLATANTLY treat certain people better than others. The food was so lackluster. Very mid. The ambiance is the reason it has 1 star but if you're a bigger girl, the women's bathroom will be a challenge for you as they are ridiculously undersized. BTW you won't be able to really hear in there so it's a perfect place to go on a date if you don't wanna talk. OH! $80 hookah for a bear LOL... I would absolutely NEVER recommend this place to anyone if you value your money. TRUST ME. Y'all should take notes from Pasha if you want to be a successful lounge/restaurant. read more

I give the food three stars. But I was appalled by having to be patted down to go through the door. What kind of clientele goes here? I believe tips are given for a job well done. I often tip 30% or more but this place adds the tip because they don't think I can handle it myself for a party of two. And I was reminded as my car was valeted that tips were not included in the $10 charge. Smh... read more

This establishment treats patrons like club goers at the end of the night. They apparently closed at 12am. At 11:56 pm, they turned the lights on and told us they were closed. We arrived around 10:30 pm and when our order was taken at 10:40 pm, I confirmed the closing time before ordering the $80 hookah. I would prefer the cheaper hookah if we only had 60-70 mins to enjoy it. Our waiter told us 12:30 was the closing time. This was not accurate. We were served our last round of drinks shortly before 12 pm and was told to "throw it back because they are closed" by the staff. I don't go to clubs! I thought I was at a restaurant! Restaurants know that the last seated customers may linger a little after closing to finish their food and drinks! Obviously a club expects you to get out immediately. There were several guests that they repeatedly and rudely informed that they were closed. We all finally left our food and "threw back" our drinks and left by 12:20pm. Super tacky and terrible way to end the night. The place is a nice vibe but rude staff!!!! They should have a Last Call if the staff wants to all walk out at 12 pm on the dot. read more
