    There are three Rumi's in Atlanta & nearby, all of them popular, and this one is where the magic originates. While I have been to to Colony Square branch for over 20 times, it was only recently that I hit this spot, during GT's Spring Break. The menu there was slightly different from that of Colony sq. In particular, I was interested in Ash reshteh, Kale borani, lubia polo, and artichoke ghormeh sabzi, none of which is common in the Middle Eastern restuarants nearby. I ended up getting the Chinjeh lubia polo. Compared to the Chinjeh entree in Colony sq branch, this one had a slice of taftoon bread, pickled veggies (cucumber and onions), different type of rice (lubia polo) and seemed to have more meat. The meat was marinated and quite tender, so even if it was slightly over "rare" which was what I preferred, I did not complain at all. The lubia polo was the real highlight. It was basically a savory rice dish cooked with finely diced beef, chopped green beans, tomato paste, and warm spices. Topped with saffron. So imagine a bite with the puffy, soft rice, the meaty beef, the juicy & sweet green beans, and an overall warm flavor. Super rich in flavor. While their menu did not list a la carte rice, they did offer these choices, so I highly recommend you to get one even if you do not want to order Chinjeh. Service was much worse compared to food. First, I waited for over 3min even if I made a reservation; I ended up sitting at the bar. Then I told the bartenders three times I was ready to check before I finally got the bill, and two times I needed a box before I finally got one. As a result my uber cancelled the trip and I had to wait for another one... I will go back to try other dishes though.

    Went here for the first time on Valentine's Day this year and had a really great experience. We had a 5 PM reservation and although there was a short wait, it was completely understandable since they were very busy that evening. We were seated on the patio, which was packed but still had a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Our server Jam provided outstanding service from start to finish. He was attentive, mindful of my dietary restrictions, and always made sure we had everything we needed, whether it was water refills or placing another order. He checked in on us several times without being overwhelming and truly made our special occasion feel even more special. The food was delicious. We ordered the mushroom hummus, yogurt duo, and the vegetable kebab, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The yogurt duo was my favorite. It was so good that we ended up ordering a second portion. The vegetable kebabs were not your typical boring vegetables. The grilled pineapple was such a pleasant surprise and added a really nice flavor that paired perfectly with the vegetables, rice, yogurt, and the sabzi they bring out at the beginning. The feta cheese tasted very fresh and light. We also got the flourless chocolate cake to go and were really impressed with how rich and flavorful it was, especially for a gluten free dessert. This is a great place for a date night, special occasion, or honestly anytime you want really good food. We will definitely be back.

    This place is so good, excellent wine list !!! Update: they continue to delight all the senses with the food presentation and world class wine sections.

    Amazing food and service ! The ambiance was incredible as well. I definitely recommend dining here. The beef kabobs were really flavorful and juicy! We got them cooked medium rare and we enjoyed it. The rice was pretty flavorful and we enjoyed the greens bean too. The eggplant dish was great! It paired very well with the bread. The service was incredible ! Our server was very attentive and came to refill our waters and change our plates. He even brought out a dessert as we were celebrating a birthday.

    Awesome birthday celebration! We were a large party of almost 20. We were greeted upon arrival and then the manager came over to greet us and tell us a limitless about the dining experience we were about to have. We had a curated menu with several options for our 3 course meal -appetizers, entrees and desserts. Everything was delicious! Portions were generous and the experience was fantastic!

    Taleah was our server. She's awesome. Great personality with excellent service . She explained everything and recommended a side which turned out delicious. The rice was heavenly. Atmosphere is very nice. Very romantic setting. There's valet too! I definitely recommend this restaurant at this location. I will definitely come back when i visit next in the spring/summer 2025.

    I went to this amazing place before catching my flight to Istanbul. Here is the summary of my amazing experience at this place in the Sandy springs location. 1) Ambiance 5/5: This is a fine dining restaurant with pleasant decor and ambiance which is soothing and inviting at the same time. The lightly dim light sets the mood and you can have date nights here as well. The only thing is that this place has little to no parking so get ready to have valet parking here. 2) Service 6/5: Although it was very crowded on a weekday and we did not have a prior reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to get seating pretty quick and also the food service was really quick. The people service us were helpful, pleasant and resourceful. 3) Food 5/5: Here is the summary of the food we had: a) Mirza Ghasemi: This is a Persian twist on my favorite Indian eggplant dish called baigan bharta. This was is less spicy and delicious. We all loved it. The quantity was great as well. It was served with Pita bread b) Chicken Kabob with Shirin: We had the option to swap the rice with anything on the menu. We tried the chicken kabob with Shirin which is a flavorful rice with orange zest, pistachios, almonds, and barberry. It was delicious and people who like sweet rice would love it. The chicken was tender and juicy with a great flavor profile. The server divided it into two plates and brought it for us. The quantity is good enough for 2 people. 4) Value for Money 5/5: At first it might look that this place is costly which is true but when you look at the food portion and the experience you are getting with such amazing service, this is totally worth it. I am coming back very soon to experience this place again :) The Good: 1) Quick Service 2) Ambiance 3) Food portions

    Chicken Kabob with Shirin rice
    Chelsea D.

    Absolutely loved my meal! The service was super quick which was great because we were super hungry . I split my dish and it was the perfect portion. I had the Chicken Kabob but switched the regular rice with the Shirin rice. The Shirin rice is sweet so if you prefer the standard salty rice, I'd recommend a different option though I think they have 6 different rice options to choose from! The chicken had a yummy marinade and it just tasted like juicy, great grilled chicken. Definitely recommend it. The restaurant is a bit loud but overall great experience and food was amazing. Would definitely return.

    Will they issue separate checks to a part of 3?

    Best to let the server know ahead of time. I recall them splitting a check on a 3 person table (2 tabs).

    Do you need lunchtime reservations?

    I highly recommended it, but I walked in before an early afternoon rush and grabbed a table outside. The two of us had a lovely late lunch/early dinner on a Saturday around 3ishpm

    Is the lunch menu discontinued?

    There is no lunch specific menu.

    Do they have any outdoor seating during Covid?

    Yes!

    Are the kabobs and rice etc ordered to be shared? Meaning you order a variety and it can feed the table family style

    Yes! There is a lot of food, but if you're really hungry you can probably eat it yourself and have leftovers!

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    We came here last night to celebrate my sister's birthday with a large group. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice kicked off on a really sour note. Right when we walked in, the staff complained to us that we hadn't called ahead to have a "smaller, special menu" crafted for a large party. To make matters worse, they loudly announced to the whole table right off rip that they wouldn't split checks separately--only an even split. It felt incredibly rude, lazy, and unwelcoming. The irony is that the large group size wasn't even an issue; we staggered our arrivals and the patio was completely empty. The kicker- my brother in law ended up paying the whole tab at the end anyways! so all of that initial laziness & nastiness for NOTHING! Throughout the night, the service felt incredibly rushed and stressed. While we were still eating our appetizers, the busser was aggressively trying to clear our plates because the mains were coming. Our server was very short with us the entire time, which was confusing because the restaurant didn't even have a stressful vibe. She recommended a main dish to me that I really didn't care for, though I will say the salsa was unique and probably the best part of the meal. Shoutout to the one staff member who was actually friendly, but overall, this is not the kind of place where you leave feeling like you had a nice restaurant experience- at least I personally didn't.. Too bad we didn't just go to C&S next door which we always love. Regardless tho, my sister had a blast, but that's entirely because she has a wonderful crew of great friends, not because of Casi Cielo.

The service was actually pretty good and was fast so I didn't wait a whole long time to get my food and everybody was really cool and friendly. Brussel sprouts - The brussel sprouts were okay. They came temporary style so they were fried and battered. I'm pretty sure those are ranch dressing that went along with them, or maybe the sauce for the fries was that and sauce, I'm not sure. But they were okay. But I wouldn't rush back to them necessarily. Crispy chicken - The crispy chicken was decent. It came in very large chunks of chicken, kind of like smaller chicken tenders. Nothing out of the box though. They were only so seasoned, nothing got to make your mouth explode LOL Beef chashu bowl - This bowl was good. Kind of reminds me of that. I'm getting your beef kind of flavor. It's basically a rice bowl if you traded the ramen and the broth for rice. And you have that beef and the egg and a couple of other accompaniments, but it's really good or very far too. I kind of a brown sugar teriyaki kind of blend and if you want to know the flavor profile. Spicy chicken ramen - was good. I got it spicy but it's another level above that. If you want more heat. It comes with two chicken in it, and plenty of very good news. The broth is super savory and it will make you tingle a little bit LOL. French fries - The fries are shoestring fries and they're okay. They tell me the sauce. I'm not sure what it is though. But they are decent, nothing pretty out of the box. Even though it's a chain, the ramen is totally worth it.

I had an idea of what this place, but wasn't exactly sure what it all entailed. We walked in and were greeted by a large shelf or should I say shelves of a bunch of different board and card games. We walked to the register and told them we wanted to play some board/card games. I believe it was $7 per hour and then $35 for everything else. Everything else means all the video/electronic games. Think PS5, Switch, PC, Xbox. It was sooooo cool seeing everyone play all the different games. There were bigger groups, couples, people by themselves. It's truly a place where anyone can go and have a good time! We got some drinks (they have a really cool cocktail menu). They do have a food menu too, but we just came from dinner, so we only got drinks. Our service wasn't the best though.

They told us that we would have to show up and just wait to be seated... fine. No big deal, again we are a large group coming in HOT on the weekend... I get it. We call ahead again, closer to the time we were planning to arrive to double check. THIS TIME they said they could reserve us a space and that it wouldn't be a problem. We get there and everything is seemingly fine. The vibes are good and the waiters are taking orders diligently. We understand that this is a huge group (16 of us) and that we would have to be patient with them as they are with us. So everyone puts in there orders. First wave comes out... I noticed that all the food is cold. Not ideal but the food was good so whatever. Second wave comes out, again the food is cold and peoples orders are missing. Fine. We are a big group, it happens. 3rd wave comes and they are seemingly trying to land the plane with us, finalizing anything that may have been missed while also getting refills. One of my friends that was a part of that first wave was still waiting his burger that he ordered (he had informed them twice at this point). 45 mins later the waiter checks on us again... My friend still doesn't have his burger. Cool AGAIN this is a big group... It happens. My side of the table who got all their food are ready to play some games now. We go to the front counter and there is seemingly a good cop/bad cop routine going on. One host says we can rent a station the other says we can't unless all 16 of go to that station. I told him not everyone wants to play games so what if we just cash out now then the 4 of us that do can just play/sit at the station. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT ITS AGAINST THE POLICIES" O....kay... whatever don't take my money, I then tell him I'd like to cash out anyway. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I can't pay you now? "THE TAB CAN ONLY BE SPLIT 5 WAYS" Huh? So not only was this not brought to our attention beforehand but you want to be a jerk about it? There reason was because some people run out on the bill and things get missed. Meanwhile the entire table is sitting here with their cards out ready to pay you? Not to mention if something is missed thats on YOU as you are the person entering the stuff into the system. Mind you we still have folks that were missing food or order was taken only for it to be sitting under a heat lamp. After some back and forth we paid (which they REFUSED to give us an itemized receipt) only for a smug waiter to come out with the missing deserts with creepy smile to literally say to us "I hope you enjoy it..." Nope. Not eating that. Matter fact we will never eat here again. This has been a yearly tradition for some Dreamhack attendees and I can wholeheartedly say that I'll NEVER step foot in here again more will anyone I associate with. If I could give it a 0 I would.

Plenty of seating inside and out on the 7th floor . Worth a visit if staying at the AC or in the area opened 5pm to 11pm.

    A pretty dope vibe and view. This is one of two rooftop type bars in Dunwoody. The other is a…read moresports bar so it kinda doesn't count to me lol. This is on the roof of the AC hotel. The hotel itself, if you walk through, is clean and well tender to. There is a bar on the main floor as well...but why do that when you can get a view instead?! The bar area is pretty nice sized. The bar top can fit about 10, but there is other seating all around the room. There are tables and kind of plush areas to sit, but the big draw is the outside. The view looks right at the busy area of Dunwoody and you can see the skyline of other cities around it too. The ambience is chill, not your typical turn up type of spot. They have music playing and a few large TV's as well. Aiden took care of me soon as I sat down. She was friendly and made sure to give me good conversation while I waited. Irish espresso martini - she did good with it. Good presentation and very balanced. Peri wings (lemon pepper) - they were aight. Nothing super crazy to write home about. They were a little small as well. Pretzel bites - They were pretty good. A decent snack, but nothing that I would rush to try again. Overall, I would come for the views and the vibes. Probably wouldnt say to plan to be here for the food, but a cocktail with that view would be clutch!

    Agave Bandido understood the assignment…read more Started with the queso dip with beef, and the kids absolutely devoured it. I ordered the Añejo Espresso Martini, shrimp quesadilla, and elote corn--every bite was incredible. The kids enjoyed the beef taco kids meals, and my friend ordered the birria tacos, which were equally delicious. A special shoutout to Justice, our server. Exceptional service, great recommendations, and he made the entire experience memorable. If you visit, definitely ask for him. Now for the part I probably should keep to myself... Agave Bandido has an incredible speakeasy that comes alive Wednesday through Saturday after hours. The ambiance, cocktails, and overall vibe make it a hidden gem worth discovering. I almost want to keep it a secret, but it's simply too good not to share. Safe to say, I'll be back. Again and again.

    They have an "88 Health Score", but none of their violations is "Standard not met: Insects,…read morerodents, and animals NOT present", so I can live with that. I was a little late on the introductions, so I missed the names of our server and the hostess, but BOTH were awesome!! The food was excellent (The guacamole was made fresh at the table, to our specifications - You can't beat that, right!!??), with a nice ambiance and their prices are sufferable. They have multiple "FREE" parking decks available for the area's establishments, so in comparison to downtown or Midtown, that's absolutely a plus!! Agave Bandido deserves some additional decimal points, to push them up closer to a "5", but since that's not an option, a "4-star" review it is...I'd absolutely make a return visit or 2!!

    Block & Drum is an incredible space with lots of events throughout the week. They have a classy…read moreinside part which usually has chairs and seating, then they have a giant outdoor space with a huge screen, green turf space, and more seating. They set up multiple bars for bigger events so you don't have to wait on line for long, and they typically already include tax and gratuity automatically. They've switched to valet parking only, or at least for the event I went to. It was $15 but they say you can park for free at the Walmart down the road.

    I met a small group of people here and the venue is as described by most other reviewers on this…read moreplatform. I opted to park at the Wal-Mart and wasn't as familiar with the trail so I took the street route. Well-light and populated for safe crossing. The venue is very open and was relatively empty since we arrived shortly after it opened. I love the indoor seating concept with plenty of couches, movable chairs, tables near the open-area space and smaller sections for 2-4 people tucked away along the wall. The DJ was already doing his thing and the bartenders remained busy. As someone who wasn't interested in the drinks, I appreciate that there was a self-serve water cooler in the center of the room. The Jenga and jumbo Uno cards were a hit!!!! It was so nice to have these options available. And as others mentioned, the large screen was playing a classic movie - which we could still see from inside. I didn't stay long and this was a Sunday night but the parking lot was much busier when I left. I imagine the outdoor space gets crowded later in the evening as well. The DJ was just okay - not my cup of tea - but folks seemed to be enjoying themselves. I can definitely see why this place is popular. Although parking is less than desirable, it is not unreasonable. The venue is well-lit and easy to move around. The crowd was diverse, with various ages and backgrounds represented. And depending on the DJ, this would be a great place for meeting with friends, date night or just zoning out to some wonderful music ... especially on a beautiful night. If you're in the mood for something different AND don't mind the trek to Chamblee, check it out.
