“So, my amazing boss treated the team to Kitty Dare for our holiday dinner. It was so amazing- I couldn’t get it off my brain so I came back tonight (two nights later, lol) to eat it again. Now, when we went as a group, we were served family style apps and entrees. We had their hummus, Greek salad, and an eggplant dish that had a nice kick to it for starters. Dinner was salmon over coucous, rice cakes, grilled asparagus, and amazing airline chicken dish, their 8hour bolognese, and one other dish I can’t remember but all were incredible. Came back tonight for the pistachio and pea hummus and again- that bolognese. Yummmm!! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out! Special place for any occasion“

“Bey Mediterranean is an incredible restaurant. The food, service, and ambiance are top notch and the prices are very reasonable. Marc, the owner and chef, cares a lot about his customers and checked on us himself during our meal to see what we thought of the food. I will definitely be back!“

“The food was fantastic and our server Dillion was so knowledgeable, efficient and kind! He was so patient with us through our many questions, recommended some excellent menu items and cocktails, and even gave us a list of other restaurants to try while we are in town. We will definitely be back again!“

“This place is WAY WAY better than The Buttery. If you’re in the neighborhood, the choice is definitely Daily Chew!!!!“

“This was one of the best places as a whole that I’ve ever been to! This includes across the entire US, Europe and Central America! I’d recommend everything g, but the soup was to die for! The staff and especially Kameel are amazing as well. A sign inside says “we love you,” and Kameel can be seen telling his customers he loves them as he fist bumps! It’s such a warm and inviting atmosphere! Everyone should make a stop here regularly! I wish I was a local because I’d be a regular! I loved it! 😍 Thank you Aviva for such an enjoyable experience and meal!“

“Amazing food experience. Fresh!“

“I had an amazing time at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they do.
Our server, Kala, made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. She checked on us at the perfect times and made great recommendations that we ended up loving. It’s rare to find service that feels this personal and professional at the same time.
Overall, it was a fantastic meal with outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!“

“Un lugar limpio y buen ambiente y excelente atención al cliente y muy sabrosa comida“

“Hovan is hands down one of my favorite lunch spots in Atlanta. It never disappoints. Somehow they make a basic Greek salad stand out—I can’t explain it, but they do. The cauliflower is simple yet incredible. And their beef/lamb shawarma? That’s my go-to. It’s hard to order anything else.

What I love most is that it feels healthy without sacrificing flavor. Nothing deep-fried or greasy. just real, quality food done right.

The owner is the heart of the place. It’s rare to find spots where the adorable, grandpa like welcoming owner is still everyone’s favorite, but he is. Warm, always smiling, putting a little extra love into each plate. You can tell he genuinely cares about every customer who walks through the door.

10/10, easily one of the best lunch spots in the city. If I don’t have a specific craving, Hovan is my default.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

““CAVA is easily a 5-star spot. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and packed with great ingredients. The staff is friendly and fast, even when the line is long, and everything is super customizable so you always get exactly what you’re craving. The portions are generous, the restaurant is clean, and the whole vibe is just really welcoming. If you want something delicious, healthy, and quick, CAVA never misses.”“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“Thank you, Kai! Our meal was delicious and healthy. I’m gluten free so I love having options. The grain bowl with salmon is filling and healthy and tastes great! The avocado salad was also delicious as was it beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!“

“This was my se,9’e time here but let me say. The food is SO fresh! My fiancee and were served by Sam, and he was so polite and professional. He weny above and beyond to give us 5 star service and i truly appreciate it. We got the lamb chops both times and it’s so juicy and succulent. Please don’t sleep on the sauce it comes with!!! Lather it into your lamb chops, it makes the world of difference. Both times my salad were SO fresh! I got the watermelon and feta salad as well as the cucumber salad, I forgot the cultural name but it was SO fresh and enjoyable. I came on a wednesday and it was 50% wine bottles and they actually had Sancerre! It was bright, fresh and gret. The vibes, music, atmosphere and service on the patio during sunset were perfect. I might actually love Atlanta after all, thanks to this place!!!!!!!!! I’ll be back again soon.“

“A fantastic fusion of Turkish and Persian cuisine. I was in Atlanta for a week long trip and was looking for a Turkish restaurant the last day before flying out. I found Banu, it was not in the list of recommended Turkish restaurants that I got from local friends. One I had tried had ended up disappointing for me, so I wanted to give Banu a chance…I am so glad I did.
I tried lentil soup, dolma (yaprak sarmasi in Turkish), a bit of doner, rice, Soltani, and baklava.
Lentil soup was OK, very delicious but not extraordinary.
Yaprak sarmasi was one of finest examples that I tried in USA over my 20 years in the country. It was the vegetarian version (several other regional cuisines, including Turks, also cook a version with meat) with pine kernels, rice, onions and tomato paste. It was the first time I tried this dish with tomato paste, it was very balanced and unique, a fantastic derivative of this ages old dish, an outcome of Kiki, the owner chef of Banu.
My next items was Beef Soltani. Both the koobideh and chenjeh were amazing. Although these are Persian names of the items, the taste was closer to the Turkish derivatives, but also thanks to the magical touch of the chef, they were not overly hot, spicy, or greasy. They were also serves with vegetables and lavaj rather than safran rice as I am used to seeing in other Persian restaurants. You have to order safran rice separately but you really do not have to, especially if you are alone. It comes in a huge plate, like other Persian restaurants, and will be difficult to finish, but it is a very well cooked dish.
As I said, I also tried doner. Its taste is very good with modifications of Kiki. It is not exactly like the best you could find Turkey (and Kiki explained to me why) but one of the better ones I’ve tried in USA, and definitely light years ahead of the doner I tried in another very highly reviewed and recommended Turkish restaurant in Atlanta which I had tried a couple of days ago.
…and baklava, omg!!!! It is one of the best baklava I have tried in USA if not the best and it is at par with the best baklava you can try in Turkey, though I would likely prefer little more butter. Its crunchiness is at the right level, dough is opened as thin as it should be and it is filled with right amount of pistachios. I even asked if it baked in house or imported from somewhere (many Turkish restaurants import their baklava from Turkey or outsource to factories in New Jersey) and they said it is baked in house. Fantastic dessert!!!!
So, were there not any issues, yes of course. Nothing is perfect in life. When I escalated my issue to the chef-owner, Kiki, she just reacted with a big smile and a sincere apology, and offered me an additional serving of baklava and 2 bottles of Uludag gazoz (a Turkish brand of soda).
Verdict…a fabulous experience of Turkish and Persian cuisine as combined by talented touches of Kiki, the chef-owner of Banu.
I am looking forward to my next trip to Atlanta.“

“The food is perfectly prepared each time I visit, and the service is fantastic.“

“The food is always amazing and portions are huge! My favorite is the chicken shawarma plate with rice, but sometimes I get it with fries. Don’t let the small place with barely any parking and limited indoor and outdoor seating deter you. It’s really worth it!!“

“Bottles & Chimney is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm, inviting, and perfectly set for a great night out. The service is top-notch—attentive, friendly, and always making sure you have everything you need. The music creates the perfect vibe, adding to the incredible energy of the place.

The owner truly cares about the experience and takes the time to make guests feel welcome. And the food and drinks? Simply fantastic! Every bite is bursting with flavor, and the cocktails are expertly crafted. Whether you're out for a casual evening or a special occasion, Bottles & Chimney never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“We were looking for a new Mediterranean restaurant to try, and wasn't initially aware that the restaurant inside the hotel.

The decor was relaxing, music was the right volume, and our waitress Darian was a star! She recommended the cauliflower appetizer and it may be our favorite thing to eat this year! Everything was delicious (the octopus is as good as we've ever had it) and the service was A+ (we decided to split a beer with dessert and she brought it to us served in two chilled glasses without us asking).

The only thing that fell short were our cocktails (the martini didn't taste like a martini and my paper plane tasted like the martini that didn't taste like a martini), but that may be a fluke and we will be back!“

“First-time visit, and I’m already a fan! Cafe Sababa offers a cozy café-style ambiance with cool, laid-back vibes — perfect for enjoying a flavorful Mediterranean meal.

Upon walking in, you place your order at the register. If the team is in the back (as they were when I arrived), there’s a little bell to ring for assistance — a nice touch that keeps things flowing.

After browsing the menu, I went with the chicken platter, which came with creamy hummus, a fresh salad, and warm, soft pita bread. I also added a side of chickpea curry soup, and let me tell you — the portion was generous, served hot, and packed with flavor.

Everything tasted fresh, filling, and well-seasoned. The prices were more than fair, and to top it off, bottled water was just $0.50. That’s rare these days!

This family-style Mediterranean spot is a solid yes for me. I felt welcomed, comfortable, and left full and satisfied. Definitely adding Cafe Sababa to my go-to list.“

“Amazing healthy bowls of Mediterranean flavors!! Love the chicken, the lentils, the hummus and the dill yogurt sauce!!! Nico and Ben and Alec were working hard keeping the line moving!!!“

“Tasty, fresh food with friendly, kind staff!“

“This is literally the best food in Atlanta I have ever had or probably in the US! It was so good that I went back to get more!! I must say, Iraqi food is amazing. The way he presented the food was amazing. He also offered free chickpeas soup! Very kind host! 11/10!!!“

“Had a great lunch at Taziki's at Toco Hills today. Service was pleasant and the food was great: fresh, tasty, & attractively presented.“

“the best Mediterranean food in the area, great service and fastlove it“

“Super cute deli style gyro spot. I got the baba ganoush with my lamb gyro and it was perfect. The right amount of smokiness and tang. There were a lot of sides to choose from and I am eager to try them all. Oh and the owners were the sweetest people.“

“There’s a Starbucks, a Bank of America, and a boatload of stores to browse and shop, including the anchor Publix supermarket.

Construction in front of Bank of America on the sidewalk temporarily shut down the entrance in front of Starbucks, so be patient and turn at Peachtree Battle Avenue or before the Chevron gas station“

“Ordered takeout online, and this was my second time having CAVA. Compared to my first experience at a different location, this one was a letdown. They really skimped on the sauces, and the garlic sauce consistency felt off. I did pay for extra chicken, and thankfully they didn’t hold back on that, or I probably would have gone back and handed the bowl right back.“

“Nuri & Shya were the absolute best!!! It’s been. minute since I’ve been in Cava so I was really indecisive about my order. They were patient & kind. They had me laughing by the time I left the store.

Incredible service!!!“

“A very good experience. All employees were very welcoming. I will definitely come back.“

“The food was good, and the drinks were cold. It was friendly, fast, and efficient.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience with great friends. The menu was full of wonderful dishes. The service and the atmosphere were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting this family owned restaurant for an amazingly authentic dining experience.“

“We had the pleasure of being helped today by Nature! Who by the way was excellent. The food and vibe was excellent. Thank you Nature for making our laborious day better at mealtime. We will be back!“

“Salmon Feast was excellent ‼️“

“Had great food and drinks. Our server was Marcus. The ribs and salad were the best we’ve had.“

“Lauren is the epitome of customer service. She was a gem. Not only did she have great food and drink recommendations but she made our group feel welcomed and kept the laughter going. I will visit again and make sure to ask for her specifically!“

“Had our rehearsal dinner last night at Cafe Lily in the Peacock Room and it was fantastic! Food was excellent and all the wait staff, particularly our main servers, Erin and Christian, were friendly and professional. The manager, Katie, was a pleasure to work with in getting everything set up and made sure the night ran smoothly. Highly recommend for a small party!“

“Great food and services. Love it.“

“My god this was such a beautiful experience, the owner was so kind and so talkative, and he was rightfully very proud of his food. The food was excellent, I had the Chicken Doner Wrap, and it was incredible. Everything was perfect, it was fresh and so juicy. The spicy sauce was such a good addition, with a little bit of numbness involved. And the roasted eggplant hummus was just so simple and delicious, I usually don’t care for hummus but this changed my mind. It was a great experience and there is plenty of seating in the back! I will come back here for sure.“

“Had to give a big shoutout to Baraka Shawarma — hands down one of the best spots in town. The food? 🔥 The service? On point. The people? Genuine. We’re grateful to have worked with them and even more grateful to enjoy their amazing food. If you haven’t checked them out yet, don’t sleep on it. May Allah continue to grant you barakah in every plate and every customer served! 🕌🍽️“

“First time here and def is our favorite shawarma spot! Super flavorful! Great portions! Amazing pita!!! Everything was yummy!!! 😋 Will be back!!! Parking situation is a bit odd but Chamblee does have a good amount of on street parking which is what we did.“

“My wife and I have came to Sugo for the past 5 years. We usually get the meatball, a couple of the Caesar salads, beef ravioli and the Hanger Steak along with a bottle of wine. It is a great place to have a date night, and we really appreciate the owner coming by and checking in on the guests.“

“Amazing hookah & drinks. Intimate, yet spacious and always a great vibe with good music all night!“
