Middle Eastern Restaurants near Clarkston, GA

“I’ve been a customer for years and not sure why I haven’t left a review yet.

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the Atlanta metro area. The food is amazing, made with care and love by the owner. My go-to order is the mixed gyro and shawarma plate with rice and adding some hot sauce. It’s the best shawarma and gyro that I’ve had in town, and Manna’s sauces are amazing. Plus, each plate is basically 2 meals for me, which makes the cost more efficient.

I couldn’t recommend Merhaba Shawarma enough. I try to stop by myself once a week!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed a romantic date night with my husband here. The flower cover entrance is absolutely beautiful. Perfect lighting throughout. Even the bathrooms are stunning. Drinks were on point, our server, David was awesome. And the food portions were big enough to share and take home. We loved it!“

“Fiance and I went on a busy Friday night and were lucky to grab seats at the bar. We tried to make a reservation 4 days in advance and nothing was available so make sure to plan wayyyyyyy ahead- it's a popular spot! Jennifer Ramos behind the bar was lovely; she's good company and provided great service even tho she was super busy. We enjoyed the hummus app, he had lamb, and I had the sirloin. All delicious and very flavorful with quick service. You can skip dessert tho, it was very whatever. Will return!“

“Great food.. falafel in pitta was delicious“

“Small simple restaurant that provides exactly what it says, and with that sauce it's a great combination. I recommend the mixed cause you get a lil meaty bite and a nice savory crunch with the falafel. I'd come here again since it's affordable and satisfying. I would not recommend the baklava though unless you're into denser desserts. As you can see by the picture, I enjoyed myself to the fullest“

“The location was wholly new to me, as I was driving through Atlanta not a resident. But the place and the food totally lived up to it's earlier reviews. As a Persian cuisine connoisseur, I rate Zafron among the highest - the Zafron chicken kebab was juicy, favorful and the service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The interior is truly lovely. I wish I lived close by so I could make this a more frequent place for special occasions and just great Persian food!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and very friendly staff! Our waitress was extremely friendly!“

“Everything was amazing! It's been a while since I've had good food in the city! Try the spreads sampler!“

“An Atlanta institution! I've been eating there since my teens in the 80's. Great food, great quiet atmosphere. The Owner (Hovan) is usually there. He and his staff really care about great food and great customer service! You've got to try this place! Keep up the good work Hovan!!!“

“Delicious food and great service! They make you feel very welcome and prepare everything with care.“

“Delicious food with great drinks!!! I had Mediterranean food other places and was never a fan, but this place surprised me. 10/10 especially with the lamb. Service was exceptional as well! Can’t beat that for me. I will now be a frequent visitor.“

“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.“

“Tried Yalla for the first time and I’m hooked. The falafel wrap was AMAZING (I removed the lettuce, but added pickles, sauces, and hummus…super fresh and crispy, and the hummus was chef’s kiss. Quality and flavor in every bite. It’s inside Krog Street Market, so the vibes are awesome—great energy, cool crowd, and plenty of spots to hang out and enjoy your food. Fast service, chill atmosphere… definitely coming back for more!“

“Randomly went to Toco Grill after my daughter's swim class. I've lived in Atlanta for five years and I must say..Toco Grill hands down makes the best burger in all of Atlanta (I've been to every hotspot recommended to me.) The staff was super friendly and I think I've finally found my to go to spot since leaving Brooklyn.“

“Great bread!“

“The staff was very kind and helpful in answering a question I had about the menu. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. I recommend the falafel plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Ask for the Arhiboo sauce! I will be sure to return to this wonderful establishment.“

“The food here is awesome!! I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't been!“

“disappointed to get a pickup order today and receive a gyro platter with no salad and no pita bread.“

“The food here is amazing! The shah kabob plate was so good. Everything was delicious!“

“The food is authentic and tastes really delicious! The rice stuffed grape leaves are as good as I used to make myself. Home cooked style meal for sure.“

“I'm not usually a big fan of haleem, but the one here is really good. I also tried their chicken fried rice, which was okay, and the mutton biryani, which was good. Their chicken seekh kebab was okay too, but the beja fry was really good.“
