Tapas Restaurants near Doraville, GA

“Although the dining area is small, the food is what is of most interest here! The wings are only one of the stars at this small, unassuming eatery! I tried the sweet and sour wings, which are made to order, and from what I've heard, their lemon-pepper wings are the stuff of legend, as they have been featured in Bon Appetit' twice! I also enjoyed their Lamb Biryani, and it was absolutely delicious! The lamb had a spicy kick, and the rice was flavorful and tasty. Will definitely be back for other dishes!“

“We stopped in for some tapas and cold drinks and thoroughly enjoyed everything about T.I.P. We had a wonderful server named Brandi, who ironically is mentioned in the reviews. We had questions about some of her recommended tapas and she nailed it. We had a very enjoyable experience and will be coming back again!“

“The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all terrific. However, the service is what truly set our experience apart. My indomitable aunt has recently suffered an injury which left her wheelchair dependent. The staff found a way to get her up the ramp, at the perfect table, and back down again (which was quite the experience). Thank you so much for your kindness and willingness to help us as she regains her independence. ❤️“

“Nice place to eat and dance Latin music!“

“Amazing staff and fabulous food and beverage options. Thank you for hosting us! Looking for a place to host a birthday gathering, team outing, or event. They have options for you.“

“We had such an amazing experience at Nala’s! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was top-tier—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed.

The dinner was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as impressive—perfectly made and full of flavor. Everything from the ambiance to the overall vibe made it a night to remember.

If you’re looking for great food, amazing drinks, and exceptional service, Nala’s is definitely the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!
Hasan was a great help with everything!!“

“Amazing food . Chill vibe“

“I went here last night for the first time. Unbelievable experience. Amazing concepts. The flavors are like nothing you’ve ever had before. Reading about it beforehand, I had a good idea what I was walking into, and they far exceeded my expectations. The entire tapas menu, go ahead and order one of everything. I’ll definitely be back.“

“I’m not sure why this isn’t the most hyped restaurant in Atlanta. The ambience, service, drinks, and cuisine are truly top tier; the wagyu taco is the unexpected best bite of food I’ve had in this city. NoriFish is a true gem and I hope to keep coming back for every special occasion.“

“Brad Pitt was AMAZINGGGGG - we loved him - so warm & kind ! Give him a raise.“

“Delicious ramen and a chill atmosphere“

“I wrote an excellent review a long time ago, but it did not do MF Sushi justice, so I am editing my original review after eating there on my own at the sushi bar yesterday.
MF Sushi gives you the food, service, and vibe of a Michelin Star restaurant without actually having one. The sushi tastes like we were dining on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The servers are on top of EVERYTHING. They know when you need something by just your facial expressions and they know when to bring you the next dish. The vibe is casual elegance, which is right up my alley. Even though MF Sushi has been around for a long time, I still feel like it's a hidden gem and I hope is stays that way. The only thing I will suggest, and this is only because I have a habit of eating way too quickly, is that when you see I have finished the piece of sushi in front of me (Chef's special, kind of like Omakase, but not), wait 2-4 minutes before bringing the next piece out. It forces me to pause and enjoy what I just ate. I am not sure if others have the same issue I have, but this is more my issue and not MF's. I always tell myself I have to come to MF more often and then life happens, but this time I am hoping to follow through. Thank you MF Sushi for such a great experience!“

“Sarah took incredible care of us the entire night. The restaurant was busy and she never made us feel like we weren’t a priority. She was honest about the best apps to order and what drinks would pair well, as well as the most popular sushi rolls. I appreciate not having to ask for a water refill, she was on top of it. We had a great time and the food was delicious!“

“Paella is definitely not for 3 people despite what the menu says. 2 at the most, I'd say. Which is not a bad thing, it always tastes better when served, not a day later. It was delicious and authentic, just like the one I had in Spain.
Service was wonderful. My waitress Kathy was amazing. She was everything I wanted the waitress to be.“

“The small plates were delicious. Shrimp, potatoes and skirt steak. Service was terrific. Main dishes were plentiful and prepared as requested. Will go back.“

“De sus platillos el chile relleno de pato la agua de jamaica deliciosa el pato en mole está espectacular“

“Looooovely place. Drink some quality coffee that isn't stuffed with sweeteners, pet a dog or two, enjoy some chill vibes outdoors. Bonus points for possibly the nicest public restroom I've been in during 2025. Low lighting, a noise maker, foamy soap, the works.“

“Great food definitely going back“

“Ordered pork buns and orange chicken on DoorDash. Best orange chicken and rice I’ve ever had in my life. Perfectly crispy and sauce was great. Rice was lovely. Pork buns were fine, nothing wrong with them, but was expecting more of a cha siu bun, but it was more like a potsticker filling, but that’s on me because they were advertised accurately. I hate DoorDash, but this was one of the best things I’ve got from them.“

“One of my favorite local spots. Friendly staff. Laid back vibe. Delicious food! Highly recommend the spaghetti and meatballs!“

“Great cocktails and tasty food. Definitely going to become a local favorite“

“It was fabulous!! Great food and atmosphere. Very good service.“

“I have been wanting to try Nakato for a long time. We finally had the chance this past Saturday. We loved everything 🥰I feel privileged to go to a distinct place like this 🙏Highly recommend!“

“Great service. Food was amazing, with nicely size portions. The atmosphere was nice, and elegant. I will be returning!“

“Amazing food and even better service! Everything came out fresh and flavorful but what really made the experience stand out was our server Ajiah. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed without feeling rushed. Will def be back!!“

“I Attended the grand opening of Stäge Dunwoody this Friday, May 15th, and the entire evening felt thoughtfully orchestrated from start to finish. From the ownership team to manager Gorman and my waitress Tory, the hospitality was genuine, polished, and effortless, the kind of service that elevates a dinner into an experience. Tory guided the night perfectly with recommendations that never missed: cocktails layered with flavor, standout small plates, and upgrades like freshly grated wasabi paired with my sashimi and sushi platter that completely changed the experience. Every detail felt intentional. The food itself was exceptional. Chef Chuck delivered dishes that were rich, balanced, and memorable without ever feeling overworked. The roasted duck lasagna with white truffle béchamel was easily one of the most unique dishes I’ve had this year, deeply savory, velvety, and indulgent in all the right ways. Each bite layered tender duck, delicate pasta, and earthy truffle into something that felt both comforting and elevated. For sushi lovers, the sashimi and sushi platter crafted by Chef Vin is a must. The cuts were pristine, buttery, and beautifully presented, with flavors so clean they practically melted away on the palate. Paired with the fresh wasabi, the experience became even more vibrant and aromatic. Beyond the food, the atmosphere tied everything together seamlessly. The music set the tone without overpowering the room, the venue carried an upscale but welcoming energy, and every moving part of the evening flowed naturally. Stäge Dunwoody opened its doors with confidence, precision, and warmth. If this grand opening was any indication of what’s ahead, Dunwoody’s dining scene just gained a serious standout. I’m already looking forward to returning to explore their brunch and lunch menus.“

“so Beautiful restaurant. Staff very friendly.“

“A good place to grab a drink and a snack, but as a spot for dinner it falls a little short. They have a great drink list and the appetizers we tried were delicious. Service was also spot on, we were well taken care of.

I think where this place really shines is the drinks and light dishes. We both had a glass of wine and a cocktail and all were good. Obviously the drink list caters more towards wine, but there is something for everyone here.

The small plates were also very good. We had the egg and the beef tartar. Both were good quality, good flavor, really cant say anything wrong about them. The egg was like a medium boiled egg split in two with accoutrements on top. I was expecting more of a miller union style egg, but this was still really good. My wife also thought the fries were the best fries she has ever had.

Here is where things start to break down. Dinner was... fine. We had the poulet and the sea bream. Both left something to be desired. The sauce on the chicken was overly gelatinous and approaching the consistency of caramel. The flavor was also nothing fantastic, almost just like a fancy bbq sauce. The fish, while good, had a really really odd plating and now that I think back on it bordered on comical (see pics). It was basically served in a light broth with a TON of carrots underneath, and it just didn't make much sense for the price point it was at.

Atmosphere sadly has typical to all the trendy spots these days, a little loud, a little too big, and just an overall feeling of impersonal. It's almost like all these places are over operationalized without enough thought given to personal interactions, everything feels artificial.

All that being said, I still think this is worth a visit and I give it 5 stars assuming that you are going for a drink and a light meal.“

“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!“

“Visited for the first time yesterday to have the kimbap and it was delicious! I'll be back for more.“

“As a former server myself, I really appreciated the level of service Milan provided, top tier! He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made my first visit a wonderful experience. I saw two managers while I was in the dinning room and both came over to ask how we were doing.

I ordered the branzino, truffle Mac and cheese and the risotto, delicious! The person I was with had the NY Strip with fries and it was cooked to perfection.

I can’t wait to come back!“

“We enjoyed Sunday brunch. The space is beautiful, the brunch options appealed to both of our differing tastes. The shared brunch menu is a great way to try various dishes. Regular menu was available, as well. The $5 mimosa was good (though bubbles were absent). Pleasant and accommodating server. On the downside: the patatas brava and the fries were underwhelming, We will return to explore more.“

“The enchiladas were great!! Would recommend!“

“The food was amazing! Kimani Jackson was so awesome and attentive to all the customers! Will definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere and great service.“

“I would highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, the staff is amazing and the environment is amazing! This place is absolutely perfect for company events, date night or just to hangout. I will definitely be back!“

“This little restaurant is divine the food is so good here the staff are so nice xx its right next to senator banus hotel and spa 5☆“

“Stones is one of our all time favorites. We have known the owner for many years and he cares a great deal for his restaurant, staff, and customers. Food and cocktails are outstanding. Burger is the best around. It’s so nice to have a restaurant in the area that isn’t a chain and holds a certain standard.“

“I loved the place! We enjoyed a family time in Mother’s Day, everything beautiful and food was Delicous“

“Awesome service and very friendly staff who care about you“

“Lovely place to hangout with seasonal coffee and tea lattes & tasty food-can only speak to my experience during the day, but I would come back to try their cocktails. There is a paid parking lot as well as limited free street parking a few mins walking distance away.“

“Caveat. I'm a professional chef of 30+ years. Visited Atlanta in May 2022 and had our last dinner here with Friends. Got a reservation online easily, waited a couple minutes while our table was prepared. We ordered a number of Tapas to share. Staff did a good job bringing them in a timely manner. Interesting wine list. We ordered a terrific Txacholi (sp?) at a reasonable price. Dishes were all pretty classic Spanish - Ocotpus was good and tender, The chorizo with sweet and sour figs held promise but was a little too sweet and sour. Croquettas were yummy. Everyone at the table loved the child carrots with pistachios. Will say that ambient noise was very disconcerting - hard to hear my dinner guests at the table - lots of hard surfaces made the busy dining room VERY loud. But ultimately we enjoyed our dinner there. Good Service.“

“This is a wonderful hotel bar in the lobby of Aloft Atlanta. The food is quite tasty, not extraordinary, but better than your average pub. The atmosphere, service, and drinks are quite good, and overall it's worth a visit if you're lodging.The bar itself is not that big: there's less than ten seats in the bar. The lounge area is much bigger, and it even has access to the outside pool area.While they have a limited selection of beers on tap, wine and cocktails are quite good, and definitely their strong point.I ordered two tacos with a side of Mac and Cheese and a local beer on tap. It took a long time, about twenty five minutes to come out, and it wasn't particularly busy. Despite the wait, the food was pretty good!“

“Lantana has always been my go-to spot, especially because of Wendy. The service is consistently great, the food is always delicious, and the drinks are a perfect 10 out of 10. I’ve been coming here for years, so I was a little disappointed not to see Wendy this time. I actually decided not to stay because, honestly, I’m not familiar with the other staff.

I really hope Wendy is back soon, she even knows my daughter’s favorite drink, a Shirley Temple with extra cherries. You just can’t beat that level of service. Hope to see you soon, Wendy!“
