The service was incredible and quick, the food was delicious, and the appetizers were served in big portions that filled us up. Parking is validated for 2 hours, which is very nice. The server was very nice in giving us recommendations and boxing up our food.

If you’re looking for authentic Persian-Mediterranean flavors in Midtown Atlanta, Yalda is a must-visit! I started with their hummus, and even as someone who typically isn’t a fan, I have to say it was one of the best I’ve ever had—creamy, well-seasoned, and balanced perfectly. Our main dish selections were incredible, especially the chicken kabobs served with fragrant saffron rice, a lamb dish and chicken barb with barberry rice. Trust me get the barberry rice! The meats were tender and packed with flavor, showing off the quality and care that goes into each dish.

For drinks, the Yalda espresso martini is a fun twist on the classic, and I’d highly recommend it over the regular version if you’re looking for something unique. Although the Mexican mule wasn’t quite as expected, the Drunken Rabbit cocktail was refreshing and tasty. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a fantastic spot for a night out or a cozy dinner. There were 3 adults with beverages and bill with tip was $200ish

This was our first time dining and it was absolutely wonderful. Our server was Christopher and he was a gem. The service throughout our meal was attentive and prompt while the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. I will be recommending this restaurant to all of my friends and family. If you like espresso martinis, PLEASE try the Yalda espresso martini.

Edit again: Yalda was able to work with property management company to rectify the incorrect parking citation. Thank you Yalda!! We loved the food and are excited to come back.

I am updating my review. We came here for an evening event, which was lovely. However, we were supposed to get validated parking in the parking lot connected to Yalda. I've been getting outrageous letters from the parking management company Yalda uses that I owe over $100 for parking. I tried contacting Yalda several times to help me rectify this (since I used their validation system at the host stand), but they have not gotten back to me. I thought we would come back here, but I don't think we will ever be back at Yalda after this incident. I refuse to be scammed by their parking management company. It's a bummer!
