This restaurant…read moreis nearby within walking distance of where we were staying and we wanted to find something healthy to satisfy our appetite. Service was great from ordering to pickup. The restaurant is easily accessible and very welcoming. We started with an arugula salad topped with roasted beets and walnuts, followed by stuffed grape leaves, falafel, and muhammarah dip. We also received bread and a dipping sauce with the order, which was fresh, warm, aromatic, and delicious. The entire meal was flavorful and satisfying. Even though I'm an omnivore, It would be easy to be a happy vegan if meals were as fantastic as this. Looking forward to return visits when we return to the area throughout the year.

Not bad but in a city with as much great Middle Eastern food as Atlanta, it only makes sense to…read morereach beyond Truva. Spots I would rather recommend for a nice night out are Delbar, Rumi's, and Yalda. My friends and I tried the Muhammara Dip, the Feta Cheese Rolls (reminiscent of spanakopita but no spinach and in roll form), the Truva Dumplings, and the Iskender Kebab. The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.

My husband asked the waiter which samosas he preferred since we couldn't decide. The beef samosas were good and quite filling. Two come with an order and they are large. The rice was wonderful. Lots of orange rind and almonds! The lamb was a little tough but delicious. The portions are very generous. I think this restaurant is more suited for dinner and am looking forward to coming back.

We also ordered the spicy mix kebabs , the milky dessert with tea, and mangu. The food was delicious, no complaints there at all. We loved the kebabs, the afghan rice, the bread, and the goat. We ended up ordering more rice because for us the portion was small since we were sharing. The service was slow and they were out of a few popular menu items. It wasn't packed but there were a couple of big tables already seated when we walked in. We never got the mangu and I had to find ways to distract myself since the food took a while to come. However, the servers were kind and apologized many times for the slowness. They even comped the extra rice for us. The ambiance was family friendly but I could see the place being a spot for adults to hang in the evening because there was open space. I think it would be a perfect venue for a small event. Definitely worth a try.

We had an amazing dining experience at Delbar Inman Park. We feel really fortunate that we picked…read moresuch a great restaurant as we are only here for two days. There was indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. We had amazing service, great food, in a really cute neighborhood. We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

We were greeted by smiles and a welcoming team at the host table and I quickly appreciated the Mediterranean charm of the restaurant -- I felt like I could have been in Rick's Cafe Americain or the Blue Parrot! The dim lighting offered a great blend of intimacy and privacy, while still letting me see the people at my table and the food! And the food! My goodness, the food! We had a wonderful sampling of shared appetizers. The hummus and Dill labneh were solid and would have been deemed more than worthy by my Lebanese grandmother! Olives were a revelation, and were done in a preparation that included pomegranate which paired really well with the brine of the olives! The star of the first round, however, was the whole cauliflower, roasted and spiced. Without reservation, I can say it is the most I have ever enjoyed cauliflower - and I shall return for it again! I was already full by the time my falafel arrived for my main course. Falafel was exactly as it was supposed to be, and it was good. I ate it all, and then, a la Violet Beauregard upon leaving the chocolate factory, had to be rolled out of the restaurant! Our server and his food runners were all gems! The manager also came by to chat with us a couple of times. Great people at Delbar!

A Spectacular Dining Experience!…read more The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all truly spectacular. Every part of the evening exceeded our expectations. The Chilean sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled shrimp paired with the coconut rice was another standout, rich and satisfying without being heavy. From start to finish, it was an excellent dining experience. If you're anywhere in the Atlanta Metro area, I highly recommend making this a stop on your list. It's well worth.

The space has a much more open feel to it, which was nice to see. Started with the hummus, which was excellent. For entrees, had the chinjeh and the sea bass. The chinjeh tasted good, was slightly overcooked (I ordered medium) but was fine to eat. Wife really enjoyed the sea bass. The rice for both dishes were quite tasty. Our server, Jonathan, was excellent. Very attentive and always checked to see if everything was okay. Still don't understand why parking ($3) is charged separately. It should be complimentary and then we just worry about tipping.

I have tried Rumi's...was obsessed with DelBar for a while. Decided to give Yalda a chance -- tbh I…read morelove this place ten toes down over any other Persian/Middle Eastern restaurant in town. The labneh is so much more creamy. All of the meat is so well seasoned. I love the garlic toum and zhoug. I will not ever order from another Persian place in the city. Yalda clears them imo. And this is from a takeout perspective. I went in person with my parents. Whenever they come into town they requests the above mentioned restaurants. We decided to try Yalda. They prefer here over the others. Said the food is more flavorful, fresh. And that's coming from a Korean lady who is incredibly picky about where she eats in public. With that said, The Sandy Springs location is beautiful. Service was impeccable. Such friendly and attentive staff. Parking can be frustrating but I don't even care lol. Yalda ILY forever!

And this was at 1AM, so they are open late for night owls like me. The fries and pita are great too. I will say I'm not a fan of the Green Sauce, but I'll just double/triple up on the toum next time! I got it delivered so can't comment on the physical restaurant vibes, but it's right by my work so I plan on rectifying that sooner than later. Finally, great portion size! Next time I won't binge and probably split it into two meals. Great value all things considered.

As a frequent eater and lover of Afghani food, this place was excellent and I've been here 3 times…read moreeven though it's quite far from me. Kabuli pillow (possibly wrong spelling) was the highlight, and best in town. In fact, it was so well prepared that we came back specifically from it. They claim to be the first and best afghani restaurant in town - and honestly this checks out. They have great starters/sharables too, best for me is always the betinjan (eggplant). I like the Mantu as well, but tbh, had much better mantu elsewhere. The highlight is the pillow. Just go there! Ambiance wise - very family friendly. Simple and quite interior, nothing fancy, great for families or parties who don't want much noise and just want to eat and enjoy a conversation. Great service as always.

Visited Ariana Kabob House for a quick, last minute lunch. The restaurant is conveniently located,…read moreclean and spacious, and there's a pretty extensive menu. The prices seemed fairly reasonable. Customer service was friendly and attentive. I opted to order the chicken kebab plate, and it was quite tasty. The portions were a bit smaller than expected, and the rice was slightly bland on flavor, but I enjoyed the chicken kebab and the garlic yogurt sauce. The cucumber salad was refreshing, and was a nice addition. The green chutney sauce was alright, but a little watery in texture. We had to eat quickly due to scheduling constraints, but they were quick with providing takeout boxes, and sauce cups to take home with our leftovers. Overall, a solid place to get some great Afghan food.

When I got my order, there was no bag--just the gyro and a box of fries. The gyro meat was burnt, it had lettuce and tomato (which I did NOT ask for), no cheese, and they gave me green sauce instead of white. I went back in to fix it, and he told me they don't even have cheese--then tried to remake it and asked AGAIN if I wanted lettuce and tomatoes after I clearly said I didn't.

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.
