This is the 2nd Dominican restaurant we have tried and we were very impressed with the variety of options. The restaurant has buffet style display of the food and also menu style. We tried the oxtail, brown stew chicken and pork all with white rice. The food was good. The oxtail and brown stew chicken wasn't seasoned the Jamaican style that I'm use to but they were both still good. Maria Elena was very friendly and helpful letting us know all the foods that were displayed since they weren't labeled. Since the menu is big I'm sure we will be back to try something different. read more

Sabor Dominicano is hands-down one of the most authentic and heartwarming dining experiences I've had in a while! From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped right into your mom's kitchen ...the smells, the flavors, the warmth of the staff ...everything feels like home. The food is absolutely incredible rich, flavorful, and made with love in every bite. You can truly taste the authenticity in every dish, from the perfectly seasoned rice and beans to the tender meats and mouthwatering plantains. It's comfort food in its purest form, and it brought back so many memories of home-cooked meals and family gatherings. If you're craving real Dominican flavor, this is the place. Sabor Dominicano doesn't just serve food...it serves nostalgia, comfort, and love on a plate. Highly recommend! read more

Sabor Dominicano - Oxtails - Dominican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Inconsistent, reheated old and TERRIBLE attitudes when they think you don't understand them. I'm sorry some people who understand still choose to not speak Spanish but if you are gonna have a slick side comment at least make sure the food is served fresh, it's sad because I've enjoyed it so many times but the last two times I should have known when the peas in the rice were black and the rice puffy, it was no bueno. I shouldn't be tasting dirty fridge while eating mushy rice. Terrible combo. Only advice if you really wanna test it, go right when they open and not a second later. read more

Amazing dominican food. Came around lunch time after reading some reviews and opted for the lunch special as it was my first time trying Dominican food. It's a very casual laid back spot and the lunch special is served on a buffet line where you can choose from your entree and sides. 1 opted for the stewed chicken with rice and side salad. The portions were plentiful and everything was beyond flavorful. Staff were super friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in and thanked me for visiting. Can't wait to go back and try some other menu items read more

We enjoyed our lunch here, we got the pastelitos de res, tilapia frita, and pechuga rellena as well as the mango juice. The service was kind and answered our questions. My favorite thing we ordered was the pastelitos they were delicious! As for the tilapia it was pretty good but did not blow our socks off, and I liked the chicken but the cream sauce was a little heavy and rich for me, overpowering the dish. Overall though we left feeling satisfied and would come again. read more

While driving through town, we NEEDED some type of Spanish food. And this gave EXACTLY what we needed. Both plates were extremely flavorful and portions are HUGE!

We'd definitely be back should we come back to this side of town. read more

Food is good but service was horrible. I came in for an oxtails plate for $18 which is great. The server black haired hispanic woman with glasses deliberately picked over larger oxtails to give smaller ones for the same price. No bueno. I got the chicken instead which is $8. If you want to spend your money on the good stuff don't waste your time. or don't have her fix it. Hopefully she understands when people are spending their money they would like yes 4 pieces but not the smallest ones. Never going back to any place trying to short there regular customers. read more

My favoriteeeeee food place! Authentic Dominican food! It reminds me of being back home in NY! I highly recommend if you enjoy Spanish food to come here & have lunch! Amazing! Every single time! They have a buffet hot & ready for you everyday. However, i sit down & get something from their menu. Service is always great & they're friendly. It is a mom & pop place so it gives you a home feel almost like somewhere in the Dominican Republic. I LOVE their food each & every time i go. Spanish ambiance & vibe for sure. 100% recommend! I do wish they would bring back their tres leche cake!! It was absolutely amazing!!! I would get a few slices everytime! I didn't take a photo of my snapper fish but i do get that with garlic sauce & sometimes plain .. 10/10!!! read more

Sabor Dominicano - Picada - Dominican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Overall, the food was amazing. My partner and I both agree that it was authentic (she is domician), and that the flavors were great. The service was also very quick and their buffet had a nice variety. The only thing I will say is the area they are located in could be nicer as I heard multiple people yelling outside when heading back to the car. The atmosphere of the restaurant as well is quite simple. Sadly, they were out of kipes when we went, but their empanads are fresh, homemade, and 5/5 (chicken and cheese). read more

Being a native New Yorker from Washington Heights, I grew up on Dominican food. Good Dominican food. Their food is good, really good.

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, check them out. read more

Quality has went down. When I tell you I CRAVE CRAVEDDDD their food. I speak so highly of their spaghetti. This last experience was shocking. We ordered 6 plates of the chicken and white rice . Some with spaghetti & some with the macoroni salad, we got side salad , beans & a fried fish as well. The spaghetti was so soupy and they were scraping the tin and tried to add the scrapings they found in the back to that tin to make it enough for us. I assumed it was so damn good and I should be happy I'm getting any. That ended up us giving acid reflux. Then the macaroni salad was Spoiled !!!! Here I am tryna tell myself it's probably the mayonnaise but no. Soon as I tasted it I felt I was doing a disservice to my taste buds and guts. The best thing which still wasn't all that was the fried fish. I was very disappointed and will cross them off my list for when I'm craving Dominican food. read more

Sabor Dominicano - Chicken and Rice and Beans - Dominican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My coworker recommended this place and I followed him here for lunch. I never had Dominican Food but I am done to try anything new. The place had a decent crowd and it looked like we just missed the lunch crowd at 1:30pm. They have a buffet looking selection where you pick a meat, kind of rice, and kind of veggie. I picked the beef, brown rice with beans, and green salad. I sat down and went to town. The rice here is excellent. Reminds me a little of the Mexican rice. The beef had a small curry taste to it. I thought the food would be spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. I loved the taste of beef and rice. I actually really loved the rice here. The employees were super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back and try out different foods. read more

After hearing how much everyone raved about this restaurant I wanted to try it. We looked at the selections in the buffet style spread and decided to try the pollo guisada. The portions were huge. We ordered rice and beans and sweet plantains with it. The food wasn't as good as the reviews said. It lacked salt and flavor. Inside the restaurant it was very hot. The best part was the sweet banana. I doubt I would make a trip again to go back read more

The food was great. The staff was very nice and friendly. I can see myself and family getting food from here again. They did run out of rice and beans around 7pm and the flan wasn't nice and smooth. It was off for some reason that why this place didn't get 5 stars. read more

You can find Sabor Dominicano at 4186 Buford Hwy NE Ste M, Atlanta, GA 30345 in the same shopping center as Pho Dai Loi 2. This is just up the hill and north of Plaza Fiesta. Parking can be a bit of a challenge as there are several businesses that feed into the same lot - best to go on slightly off times. Late night Sabor becomes a disco, I believe as there's a DJ booth (but that may just be on the weekends) - something that's rather common in restaurants on Buford Highway, especially closer towards Atlanta. I met a few friends as part of my Buford Highway Restaurant Crawl group - besides offering up some rather authentic Dominican cuisine, the restaurant has a pretty awesome buffet (1-4 I believe) - in the evenings it starts to wind down but for lunch there's some great eats at very reasonable prices. They typically have Bacalao (salted cod) and boiled yucca on the buffet. If you're in a group order the appetizer platter - you'll enjoy an assortment of flavors so you'll get to sample a lot of what Dominica has to offer. The people here are really nice and good about describing the various dishes. My favorite time to come is during lunch after 1:00 - it's definitely a winner and you don't get stuck trying to find a parking space. I think everyone enjoyed the food quite a bit.

Delicious food, but be careful about the menu prices. We ordered off of the current menu, and when the bill came out, each dish was more expensive than advertised. One item increased more than $5 from the menu price. I checked the menu and noticed the difference, at which point the owner was called over to correct the bill. He was apologetic and fixed it. The owner clarified they have ordered new menus to reflect the price change. However, if I didn't check the price after paying, I don't think the restaurant would have notified me of the price difference. I wonder how many patrons have overpaid for their meals based on the current menus available in the restaurant. I recommend eating here, but wait at least a few weeks to months for the new, updated menu to arrive. Otherwise, ask your server what the true price is for each item, or compare the bill to the menu before paying. To the restaurant: Consider printing temporary menus that reflect an accurate price. While the food is delicious, it doesn't feel good to be deceived by the restaurant I'm visiting. read more

I've been looking for Dominican food since I came to Atlanta and I came across this place on Yelp. The workers were really friendly and welcoming.

Good food. Good service. If I wasn't allergic to bananas I'd definitely come back. I have never had Dominican food before so when there was an opportunity to try this place out I said sure. I got the sancocho which is a soup dish served with rice. There was beef, pork, corn on the cobb and plantains. It was delicious....except I didn't know plantains were part of the banana family and I'm allergic.....it tasted like potatoes actually so that was what I thought it was...... The place is small and has a nice cozy family feel to it which I like..... Most of the menu was not in English but our waiter was super patient and kind to explain everything to us... If you like Dominican food or are in the mood for something new to add to your culinary palette then this is a great place..... read more

Sabor Dominicano - Sancocho..... - Dominican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Sabor Dominicano is a Dominican restaurant located inside the same strip mall (Saigon Center) as Pho Dai Loi 2, next to Plaza Fiesta on Buford Highway. This restaurant opened in 2014. I've eaten at plenty of Caribbean restaurants around town, but this was my first time at a Dominican-specific restaurant. I've been to the Dominican Republic, but I'm still definitely not well-versed on the food. That said, I think this place seems pretty authentic. The dishes I tried were hit or miss. This is a small restaurant with seating for about 40 customers (indoor seating only). The dining room is basic and no-frills with TVs and DR-themed decor on the walls (e.g. flags, artwork). There is what looks like a DJ booth in one corner and with the speakers and special lighting, it's safe to assume this place also hosts (or hosted) dance parties. The festive music was cranked up during our Sunday lunchtime visit. It was busy. You can order off the buffet or the menu. We checked out the buffet. There was a bit of a language barrier between us and our server, so we weren't able to get the best descriptions of the items on the buffet. As best I could tell, the buffet consisted of items like white rice, red beans, and a variety of meat dishes containing chicken, beef, and pork. There was also oxtail, chicken soup with vegetables, yuca, potatoes, and salad. Everything on the buffet looked fresh. Buffet pricing varies depending on what you get. To give you an idea, one of my friends ordered rice, beans, chicken, and salad, and it was $7. Not bad. The menu has little to no English descriptions of some items. Hopefully, this review will help a little bit. There are appetizers like yuca chulitos (cassava rolls), pastelitos (folded pastries with cheese and meat filling), kipes (or kibbehs, bulgur rolls), tostones (fried plantains), and maduros (made from ripe plantains). There are sandwiches (e.g. chicken, ham and cheese, steak), salads, and soup. Meat entrees include varieties of chicken and steak. They've got different mofongo (fried plantain dish) and rice plates as well as various seafood such as shrimp, lobster tail, and platters containing those items along with crab legs, oysters, calamari, and fish. Desserts include flan, arroz con leche (rice pudding), and habichuelas con dulce, which is a Dominican sweet bean dessert. The food is affordably priced with most non-seafood dishes under $10 each and soups and most seafood entrees under $15 each. $5.99 daily lunch specials are available weekdays from 11am to 4pm and include pig feet, pig liver, chicken gizzards, baked chicken, stew, and spaghetti. Beverage-wise, they serve beer ($4), soda ($1), and various tropical fruit juices ($2.50-$3.00) like tamarindo (tamarind), maracuya (passion fruit), guanabana (soupsop), and morir soñando, which is a sweetened iced milk and orange juice that is popular in the DR. I tried a variety dishes. I thought the pastelito ($1.50) and kipe ($2) were A-OK. The pastelito was small with a nice crust and hot, savory filling. Kipe actually originates from Mediterranean cuisine. It wasn't bad and makes for a decent crunchy/soft app/snack. From the buffet, I tried two types of chicken. Both were served bone-in. The first one was chopped and covered in a savory red sauce. The second was more like a rotisserie-style roasted chicken. The roasted chicken was better. One of my friends ordered the pernil (Puerto Rican slow-roasted marinated pork shoulder) and steamed yuca from the buffet and the food looked terrific. She said they were good. I sampled two soups. One was sancocho, from the buffet. This soup cost about $10-11. The portion size was big and came with a side of white rice. The rice, by the way, is slightly salted (it's tasty). Sancocho is considered a national dish of the DR. Sabor Dominicano's version contained chunks of bone-in chicken, corn on the cob, carrots, potato, and I think plantains. This soup was hearty, filling, and delicious. The other soup I tried was also thick and hearty. It was a chicken and rice stew with lots of a rice in an orange-red broth. It was alright. The rice soaked up a lot of the broth. Corn, carrots, peas, and green beans, that looked like they came from a frozen bag, were added on top. I had the mofongo and it tasted fantastic. However, it was also very greasy and I couldn't finish it for that reason. The mofongo was quite flavorful and was freshly prepared with lots of garlic and chicharron (crunchy bits of pork skin). The mofongo also came with a side salad (from the buffet), broth, and another type of chicharron (this time, morsels of deep-fried bone-in pork). Like the rice, the salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, dressing) was salted. The bone-in chicharron was tasty, but fatty and oily. Again, I couldn't finish it for the same reason as the mofongo. My mango juice was very sweet and yummy, though I'm not sure it was fresh. It may have come from a can. Service was friendly. read more

Great Dominican food! They have the best paella in the area, and at such a cheap price -$15 ish per person with half a lobster inside :) it took a while for them to make it, but that makes the the paella fresh and authentic. The soup and tostones are fresh and tasty as well. Overall we had a great experience. But I would definitely recommend coming with someone who speaks Spanish if you don't speak it yourself. read more

I'm between 3 and 4 on this one. Food was 4+ but the language barrier and the lack of ambiance made it a 3. I visited this restaurant with a group of like minded yelpers for a Sunday brunch UYE. There is a parking lot but it was quite full and I had a hard time finding a spot. The restaurant is small and basic in it's decor. There is a buffet counter and a small bar off to the side, serving beer and wine only. We had the option to order off the menu or go for the buffer. I couldn't decide so I did both =) The buffet comes with sides but I was able to order just the meats since I went with paella for my off the menu dish. The two meats I chose were chicken gizzards (excellent) and pig feet (good but mostly bone, not much to eat meat-wise). The paella for one took a while to come out but that was kind of expected. This dish was HUGE. I had leftovers for days. It was also delicious. The one disappointment was the fact that there were all of these various yummy crabs in it but no crackers to get to the meat. They just don't carry them. Makes me wonder if they only use crab claws for decoration purposes. Overall: great food, friendly service but quite a language barrier. Would definitely recommend checking it out. read more
