“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!“

“The pizza, the meatball appetizer the Greek salad“

“some of the best service I've ever had in a restaurant and the food was amazing. Even my picky toddler found something she loved. It was a great experience.“

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

“Indya was excellent“

“Food was exquisite, well seasoned, and visually appealing. We ordered something spicy, forgot what it was, but it hit the spot as far as taste was concerned. The coffee was everything I would expect from an Ethiopian restaurant. Went for my birthday and was a pleasant surprise. Hardly any patrons were present. There was a homeless man who kept trying to enter, the waitress eventually gave him a plate. That speaks to character. It took a little while to pay and leave as it was only one waitress.“

“Great bread!“

“Do yourself a favor and dine at the divine Mediterranean gem of a restaurant called kitty dare . The food, the service, the decor / ambiance was amazing I recommend eating on the patio its so beautiful out their. I huge part of experience that stood out to me was are server asked do we want are apps and main served in courses this is a lost art unfortunately and sadly nowadays your entire order is dropped your table like your at a local golden like buffet this attention to detail is great representation of the experience you'll receive at kitty dare“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Every Single Time! This was my 5th time dining at Ela, and it continues to be outstanding every single time! The experience never disappoints. This visit, I treated my sister and niece, and they thought it was excellent as well! It's always a pleasure to find a restaurant that consistently delivers such a wonderful experience. Ela has definitely become one of my favorites, and I'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend! ❤️“

“Amazing food experience. Fresh!“

“We had a business meeting nearby and selected Merhaba. The food was great! I had the gyro platter and we shared an order of grape leaves to start.

No AC inside but covered seating outside. Weather was good today for outside so not a factor.“

“The food is so amazing and reasonably priced. One of our new favorite restaurants. Our server Frankie, was super attentive and sweet. And we spoke with the owner/chef, Kiki. she was such a kind and genuine person who risked everything to start this beautiful business. I know all her hard work will pay off, the food, location, and ambiance is unmatched. Thank you for showing us around and opening up about your experience as a business owner Kiki! Big things are coming for this place!“

“Amazing customer service and quality of food! My husband and I just had lunch here, and it was lovely. Trey was so personable, professional, kind and caring. As I told him on our way out, this is the best Mediterranean food we’ve ever had. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! 🙂“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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! 🫡“

“I recommend the rack of lamb and the Istanbul Martini. The food was good and the atmosphere was great. I will be going back.“

“My seabass was delicious! The potatoes weren’t seasoned and the vegetables were charred terribly. The lamb chops weren’t edible so the salmon kabobs replaced them. That salmon and rice was to die for! The watermelon salad was tasty as well.“

“The Buckhead location is gorgeous! Its combination of a beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly, attentive staff makes this a restaurant worth coming back to time and time again! The quality and mouth-watering flavor of the food never disappoints. We were so appreciative of the little touches that were made to help us celebrate our anniversary recently! 5 stars all around!“

“The food was fantastic. We had a large party and they were great to provide for our crew. The falafel was amazing. The shawarma wraps were incredible. And the chicken and rice bowls were filling. For dessert we enjoyed the fig cookies, which were divine. Highly recommend. Will definitely dine at Al-Chef again when coming back to Clarkston!“

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

“Spent several hours Saturday night and had a great time. The Bolognese pasta is the best I've ever had! Music was great and when DJ started it was poppin!
Didn't try hookah but others in our party loved it! I had Diet Coke and rum but tasted the Peach cocktail and it was delicious! Management checked on us several times to make everything was good!“

“Wow!! We are so happy we decided to stop in this place for lunch. The owner is incredibly kind, the food is outstanding, the portions are enormous! Everything is very reasonably priced as well. We both got the lamb salad (with spice) and highly recommend. The sit down area has such a cozy atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“I’ve been eyeing this spot for a while. But due to the hours, I wasn’t able to make it in until recently… and I’m so glad I finally did! The food was delicious and fresh, and the owners were so welcoming.

The chicken gyro and stuffed grape leaves are amazing!“

“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“

“Live in the area and never been here. Michael was our server and did fantastic. It felt like a 5 star restaurant service with approachable prices for a nice night out. Had the salmon and harissa chicken and split it between the 2 of us. Fries are a must. We got them as an app and had plenty to take us through dinner. Saffron rice was great and all the fixings that came with the meal like veggies and sauces and such were so good! Great spot.“

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

“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!!!“

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

“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! 🕌🍽️“

“Salmon Feast was excellent ‼️“

“Both dishes were really good, fresh and exciting. Kinda like the Dream vs Liberty game! So close…but the winner, in my opinion, was the chicken! My brother would beg to differ. We ordered the chicken and salmon kabobs with this amazing creamy shrimp scampi! We shall return for another game! Taste with your eyes!“

“Fantastic food and the service is unbelievably good. The raspberry sauce for the Salmon would be good on a flip flop. the Shallot cream sauce is outstanding. 100% would come back.“

“FABULOUS food! I’ve eaten in Greece, and this is authentic! Great service too…10 out of 10. Don’t miss out! 😋“

“Writing this while I’m still having dinner here because I’m really enjoying the experience. The food is tasty and fresh, the portions are generous enough, and the service has been friendly. Definitely a nice spot for dinner.“

“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.“

“Came here Saturday afternoon after hearing that they had some of the best hummus in Atlanta and WOW!!! They were spot on! The hummus is incredible and the pickled veggies it comes with were very special. The hummus came with pita bread which was the best pita bread I’ve ever tasted.

Their menu has 10” pizzas, sandwiches, and hummus bowls. Everything is made fresh to order and the staff were very courteous. I’m definitely coming back to try some of their sandwiches. The Hulk and Flying V are supposed to be very good and are vegan which is perfect for me! 100% worth checking out!“

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