“Absolutely loved the food at Desi Tadka! Everything was full of flavor and served fresh. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere made it even better. Ended the meal with a pan shot that was super tasty, refreshingand perfect finish! Definitely one of the best spots if you’re craving real desi vibes.”
“I had an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy yet modern vibe that makes it perfect. I was thrilled with the variety and creativity of the vegetarian menu. Every dish was packed with flavor, and you could tell that fresh, high-quality ingredients were used in every preparation. Chole Bhature was the standout dish for me and I highly recommend everyone to try out once if you're in Atlanta. Lastly, the service was quite friendly and quick.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I love the atmosphere, drinks and food. Service was great. It is a bit on the expensive side, however the main dishes are elevated fine dining. I had Seabass marinated in Miso and served with perfectly prepared accoutrement. My wife had the Scallops, with squash puree, delicious. I did not have the more ubiquitous Mexican offerings like the Tacos so I can't comment on those. I have a hard time spending that mush on a Taco , however if the mains were any indication of the preparation I am sure it was elevated. They also have two family style dishes , a chicken and beef birria that I was told can serve 5 or more. That is a good value if you went with your family. I would defiantly give this place a try.”
“Best hookah on the east side hands down.. been here for over 2hrs no refill just a coal..”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Such a cute place. My 3-year-old spilled a bit of her cup of steamed milk and the barista could not have been sweeter; he offered my girl a replacement cup of milk and complimented her on her good manners. She talked about it for the rest of the day. I was here back in Dec 2024 as well, and it was just as nice. Eventually, we’ll make it for an open mic or music event.”
“Wow! Even better than I expected from great reviews. Everyone here is so nice and really helpful if you don’t know what to order. But so far I would say everything is worth ordering. I can’t wait to go back and try more things. I can highly highly recommend Dilwale Chaat. It has so many layers of flavours and textures. Nicely combines crispy and creamy. And the Vegi Thali Deluxe is a great way to experience lots of different tastes.
Can’t wait to go again!”

“I attended my nephews wedding here and it was amazing. The staff was awesome. Attentive. And, very knowledgeable. The manager Bret recommended numerous drinks and drink specials. He made the night for us. I live in Maryland but will definitely be back! Make sure you stop in for good food and drinks!!!”

“I really enjoyed my experience here as a black man. The owners were respectful and the food was made fresh to order (very good also). The parking was a little challenging but it is worth the effort. I tried a few different things here for the first time and it was very satisfying. I recommend a google search to learn what food here is being served and the owner educated me very well on the Japanese food culture.”

“While visiting the Atlanta area, we were told of Cafe Lily. I can’t say enough about this place! Very accommodating and excellent service with a professional staff of people who insure you are satisfied. The Dining choices are excellent! You won’t regret going there. I will be back for sure.”
“Second visit, nice place, good old fashioneds, but something went wrong with my fish and chips. The best way to describe it would be..."Tasty fish filets wrapped in soggy pancake batter." Mentioned it to our server, no solution forthcoming. We were in a hurry so I let it slide that time but never again.”

“This was an excellent dining experience. The service, food, and ambiance was spectacular. So delicious 😋 I”
“Such a great selection of beer, did not expect to find something related to mango lassi with hints of both mango and coconut, 2 of my favorite flavors esp together. You could smell the mango before you sip it. Amazing. Probably the best sour and perhaps overall beer we’ve ever had.”
Takeout Restaurants
“My family and I moved here from our of the area. while we have been here figuring out a real estate deal we have been staying in an Airbnb. with 2 teens 3 dogs and 2 cats which has been stressful. so this wonderful establishment is just a hop skip and jump from where we are staying. First and foremost the service is amazing. The establishment is extremely clean and well decorated giving a neat modern rustic feeling. The clientele is mostly local and incredibly welcoming and friendly. our first time we went we had a family of regulars help us navigate getting Braves tickets to our very first braves game. I have since returned to get away from the chaos at our BNB and realestate debacle and have been blessed to make a few friends. The bartenders are excellent and friendly as well. The waitresses are so nice and efficient. I highly recommend the deviled eggs the Cuban or my favorite the pesto chicken sandwich. The Mac and cheese is off the hook as well. Excellent place to unwind or to drag your teens in for a great meal at extremely reasonable prices with efficient friendly service and really nice customers”

“Try everything! I recently had their beef pattie. Very untraditional pattie shape which I like. I usually go for the double chocolate doughnut. If you want to try and not spend a lot they sell the day olds at half off. Definitely recommend just trying everything they make tho.”
“Finally I tried this place. They have nice selection of sandwiches, salads, bowls. I like fast service and tasty Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. I will be back to try other options when I am in the area. It is in Goodwill Shopping center on Lawrenceville Hwy.
Parking: Large parking lot
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“They have the best food and I like their food the only bad thing about them is that their closed often a lot and they allow you to order online and when you get there you'll find out that your order has been canceled this has happened 3 weeks in a row. I think if you wanted to order you need to make sure that they're open because their site allows you to order and on your way you'll get a notice that your order has been canceled. Make sure u check to see if they are open cuz they will take ur order then you'll be pissed that you made a blank trip they got to do better”
“Sprig is one of my favorite places to wine and dine (and whiskey!) The food is always exceptional and the costumer service is fantastic!”
“The restaurant was very inviting and the staff is awesome..Food is very delicious 👍🏿👏🏿❤️❤️”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Love the beers at Inner Voice as well as the great staff and great vibes! The jammie pie sour is my favorite, but I usually like every beer I try on the menu (which often rotates). I love the colors and design choices they made, and that it feels like a small local spot while still having lots of space (inside and outside) to hang out and not feel too crowded. Always a fan of a good dog-friendly patio too!”
“Honestly, the place is overrated !!! The only reason I give them four stars is that the pizza was good!!! Servers have an attitude!!! Sitting at the patio was ruined by the smell of the dumpsters, and yes it is a little bit dirty. I guess they take advantage of the location but they definitely need some updates.”
“The food was so delicious and good that I must go back and try other items from their menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to try delicious food. Please try their passion fruit 🍉 margarita, they are amazing and on point.”

“They are super awesome. I called like maybe 2-3 days in advance because I wanted some cupcakes for my girlfriend’s birthday. They accommodated me on short notice and even put an amazing decorative and edible birthday disk on her cupcake!! They were also super delicious. Definitely the lightest fluffiest cupcake I’ve had while in GA. The owner/baker/team are super friendly and good at what they do. I’ll be back”
“The absolutely greatest thing about Anansi is the music that can often take you to the best places sonically. I’m a music head so I can’t say enough about that.
Now…layer on an atmosphere that provides an endless amount of things to catch your eye and it feels cozy at the same time 😌.
And if both of those things weren’t enough, the DRINKS!!! 🤩 are delivered wrapped in phenomenal service and craftsmanship.
If you found this gem of a bar, then consider yourself to be one of the lucky ones. Great spot! 10/10 highly recommend lol”
“I came over to order food from another place and ordered from here because the wait for my other food was 45 minutes to complete. I ate the vegetarian spring rolls while I was waiting. They were so good that when my other food came, I had to come place another order before heading home. Amazing food. Fast and friendly service. I would highly recommend.”
“On yesterday I had the pleasure of trying out Vegan Me Please, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! I ordered the tacos, the vegan chicken wrap, and an oyster sandwich combo. The tacos and the vegan chicken wrap were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and satisfying, making it hard to believe they were entirely plant-based. The tacos were packed with fresh ingredients and had a perfect balance of spices. The vegan chicken wrap was equally impressive, with a great texture and taste that left me wanting more. The quality of the food and the attention to detail in the preparation were evident in every bite. I haven't had the chance to try the oyster sandwich combo yet, but I'm looking forward to enjoying it today. If it's anything like the other dishes, I'm sure it will be fantastic! Overall, Vegan Me Please exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty vegan options. Whether you're a long-time vegan or just curious about plant-based cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit!”
“The BEST breakfast in Decatur! The biscuits are better than my momma ever made! Large portions and very fair pricing. Always love to get breakfast or lunch here. And now mimosas!! Watch out summer patio brunch with a pitcher of mimosas! The best
Kid-friendliness: Both my kids favorite restaurant! They say the food is 100 times better than what I make at home”
“Shugga Sweets is definitely the best cupcake I have ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. She has excellent customer service and offered cupcakes to me and my wife after they closed. Do keep in mind that she does not have a physical location, and does a lot of pop-up shops. Despite that, you will not be disappointed.”
“The ambiance at Cafe Lily matches their terrific menu and excellent service. Great place for meeting up with friends or colleagues. I highly recommend to anyone who loves delicious fresh food and a stress free environment. Cafe Lily is high on my list!”
“Where to start? What a delightful evening and meal. The waiter, to start with, was amazingly attentive and kept up with us the entire evening. Also the owner came over and filled us in on the recent history. Liquor license is in now but I don't drink so that was not important. Let me segue to the food. OMG, the mushroom and goat cheese fondue with tomato jam was to die for. It was served in a cast iron skillet with plenty of toast. The sauce was so rich and creamy. To keep this under an hour and a half reading let me say my bride's steak was perfect along with the brussel sprouts and kale. Let me tell you about the pork chop. I like my pork chops to be medium rare if possible and it was perfectly pink inside. I try my best to get that look and I always overcome them. The sweet potato puree asking with the brussel sprouts was outstanding. The portions were very generous and couldn't ask anything better for a Monday night meal. OK, then there was the bread pudding. Oh, Lord, when I tasted the whiskey I almost fell in the floor. So, let me say to the people who has a bad time at the restaurant that they are hitting on all cylinders. I can understand a Karen or two that have nothing better to do than be haters, especially after the opening of the restaurants after COVID. I get it. Why not try to come back and give it another chance. They deserve it and you could use a good meal to chill out.”
“Absolutely some of the best Cajun food I've had in the Atl. Great cocktails as well.
Our waitress was awesome. Thanks for a great experience and we will definitely be back.”
“You pretty much can't get lobster tails cooked to perfection, and the seafood family A1”
“I purchased my bag of coffee in Nashville! I am in love!!! It is delicious! We just finished the bag and I’m ordering more. I highly recommend Guatemalan a nice blend of fruit and chocolate! Yummy! Thanks Dope!”
“Very nice attentive waiter. Food was outstanding. Large portions.”
“Honestly, the place is overrated !!! The only reason I give them four stars is that the pizza was good!!! Servers have an attitude!!!

“I was to excited to take a before picture of my treats, but here is the aftermath to prove how delicious they were! Brown sugar marble bubble and classic frenchie were my choices, and I do not regret it!”
“Cool homey eatery serving uniquely styled enchiladas, chili rellenos & killer 'big' salads.
Theys got a very convenient accessible locale off Eastlake and Oakview, near Oakhurst Market.
I always eat outside at their happening patio, weather permitting; as this sordid Decatur, thru & thru :)
Usually start with their Fresh Guac, with a couple bev's, depending on the day. Then move to their spectacular Avocado Salad; Comes with a vibrant avocado honey? sauce.
Certainly add shrimp to any of their salads- Jumps it from good, to Excellente!
Servers, Eliza, are very friendly & accessible. Nice happening place”
“Great outdoor seating. Welcoming pub for families. The lamb stew is rich and delicious. The fish and chips is perfect when the fish is fresh. The beef pot pie is perfect on a winter night. Great non-alcoholic beers selection.”
“We had the best evening. Despite the crowds and challenges, our server was amazing and picked up that it was our birthday despite it not being mentioned. Thats why this is our go to for meeting up with friends!”
“The food is very good. However it is never really hot. The Grits are delicious but not hot enough even the coffee. But the food is absolutely great. Please make your food hot”
“My husband and I love to find a good Brisket sliced bbq. While on the job my husband had lunch here and came home (an hour away) bragging about how good it was. Naturally, I’ve got to try it…..it is soooo good! I highly recommend it and will be back. Very welcoming and friendly. Our server was excellent and recommended the Alabama White sauce, I haven’t had any this good since I first tried it and fell in love with it. This place is a must try if you’re in the area. Thanks for a delicious experience.”
“I am just in love with this place! I'm in town for a baby shower and had a little extra time, so I stopped here for a beer. Not only is the beer great, but the patio is amazing with plenty of shade and plenty of opportunities to soak up the sun on a beautiful 62 degree day like today! Roxanne, the bartender, absolutely made my day and made me feel so welcome! My partner and I are planning a brewery weekend in Decatur soon, and we will definitely come back here. Being in the service industry myself, I truly appreciate businesses like this one. Thank you, Sceptre Brewing!”
“It's a very small, out of the way place, but kind of a gem to find for take out lunch. I got lobster, and my partner got shrimp. Perfectly cooked and reasonably priced.”

“We crave fried catfish on a regular basis; my husband is from Mississippi, where catfish rules! NO CHIX ALLOWED serve’s mouthwatering, perfectly prepared, fresh, fried catfish and steak fries! It is scrumptious! We will be stopping by every Friday night to start our weekend. Next time, we might try some fresh tilapia or salmon —in addition to another order of catfish. We chose the SEXY COOL DIPPING SAUCE, and that a winner, too! NO CHIX ALLOWED is located in THE FOOD HUB at Sam’s Crossing on E Ponce de Leon in Avondale Estates. Take out only. GIVE THEM A TRY! Your stomach will thank you!”

“Great place to to take your family or a date. Fantastic food with a variety of choices. The atmosphere is AWESOME and they have live music and DJ.”
“I'm leaving 4 stars because I don't want to change the average rating, but I just want to say that $23 for the Oxtail sandwich without tax/tip and no sides.. and then seeing another customer post their melted styrofoam container with the food falling out (and not getting a refund), lets me know that I cannot risk my hard earned money hear. Hope to have my mind changed in the future”

“Very prompt service, staff is friendly and attentive. The food is satisfying and never fails to please. Bartender Lorrin is exceptional. ?”
“Very prompt service and well cooked food! Would recommend for good and generous portions at pretty affordable prices, as well as really well seasoned sauce options.”
“I visited Smokez because it's a neighborhood black owned business and I wanted to support. I ordered grilled chicken and it did not disappoint. Please note, the food is pricy, I paid approximately 15 dollars for 2 leg quarters. I'm glad I tried them out. The young lady at the window was a delight. She is extremely friendly. The chicken was cooked to perfection. I can't complain about anything.”
“I ordered the j*** chicken tacos, j*** chicken macaroni and cheese, and Rasta pasta. All the food was absolutely delicious. This place is definitely going on my recommendation list.”
“Ordered delivery through uber eats. The food was amazing. The mac was legit and the oxtails were great paired with it. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Will repeat and dine-in.Edit - Ordered through UE again and was not disappointed. Brisket and lobster was amazing.”
“I recently had the privilege of visiting the Memorial Drive location and the food was outstanding, both in quality and quantity. I am from Houston, Tx where great food is intrinsic to our culture. The food was perfectly seasoned and delectable. I plan on revisiting soon!”
“Fried shrimp and fries was delicious , my husband also enjoyed his hot wings, our waitress Nikki was excellent, very professional and attentive. We will be back.”
“Had a little issue with food being ready at the appropriate time but it was quickly rectified. Food was good. I had the fried chicken sandwich and brat with sauerkraut. Both items where good. The brat is a beyond meat brat. The sides I got were very good. The potato salad was delicious. Potatoes cooked to perfection. The baked beans had just right amount of sweetness. The Cole slaw was a little too sweet for my taste. I am looking forward to returning to try other menu items. Updated from previous review on 2025-03-02”
“Stopped here on the way back from a conference. There were 5 of us. 2 enjoyed the shrimp and grits, 1 got the wings and onion rings, 1 a burger and 1 a pizza. We all walked away saying how good the food was and how great our waiter, Darrell, was! Will for sure be back next time we are in town! #drive2024”

“We stopped by Friday evening for our anniversary. It was a delicious meal. The service was fantastic and the decor lovely. We chatted with the owner a bit. He has obviously worked hard to make the experience special. If you are looking for some delicious Caribbean food and atmosphere, you should make a point of visiting.”

“I stopped in Chipotle on Wesley Chapel on my way to Charleston on a Friday night after a long day of driving. We decided to eat outside where I accidentally left my purse with all of my belongings outside on the back of my chair. I didn't realize until we were about 2 hours out and they were already closed when I called to see if they had it. The next morning I called and it turns out Melvin had grabbed my purse and kept it safe until I was able to return on my way back home from my trip. Pat and Melvin were so gracious and helpful every time I called Chipotle to make sure it was still safe!! They were so nice and SO HELPFUL! 10000% recommend this place as the workers are awesome! Can't thank them enough for what they did for me. They deserve so much recognition. ALSO-- The food was delicious and the workers were friendly. The outside cleaning was clean also.”
“I came over to order food from another place and ordered from here because the wait for my other food was 45 minutes to complete. I ate the vegetarian spring rolls while I was waiting. They were so good that when my other food came, I had to come place another order before heading home. Amazing food. Fast and friendly service. I would highly recommend.”
“The food is delicious! All the fried foods come out fresh and crispy! Fish taste like fish, and chicken taste like chicken unlike other places! Even though they can get extremely busy at times, it's so worth the wait! Very friendly staff and they get the food out! I definitely recommend this spot here on Highway 85 in Riverdale. It's definitely a hidden gem here in Riverdale!”
“Decided to stop by, as this is one of my neighborhood go-to breakfast places. This is the second location after the Candler Rd. location. The staff works hard to get your order out fast. I appreciate the bigger proportions served, yet the prices are still reasonable! This location is moreso for takeout only, so know that in advance. I got the French toast plate, with breakfast potatoes, eggs, and bacon. Everything was good, but the French toast was a little soggy, so I put it in the air fryer once I got home. Everything was hot & fresh though. Always a solid option.”
“The Best all around! Food, atmosphere, service, all The Best!”
