Middle Eastern Restaurants near Dunwoody, GA

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Our inaugural visit was last week (September 26). Upon entering, we were immediately and warmly greeted by Yusra. We explained it was our first visit, and she took time to explain the menu to us. The choices were plentiful, and it took a few minutes to decide. We all chose the Chicken Shawarma Plate with various sides. Each bite was more delicious than the previous. Once we ordered, our food was prepared fresh by Sam and delivered to our table. Our meals were delicious, plentiful and very good tasting. Yusra checked on us during our meal as she interacted with other guests. The prices were very reasonable, and we left with a promise that next time we are in Alpharetta, we will be back. Keep up the great work and wishing you All the best.“

“For the price ($15–$18), it’s an excellent place that serves good food. The protein options are great, and the hummus is tasty. If you’re ordering a hummus bowl, be mindful that they give a very generous portion of hummus. There is plenty of seating, but most tables accommodate up to four people, so it may not be a good dine-in option for a large group. Atmosphere is pretty casual!“

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Really enjoyed the experience here, food was amazing and delicious 😋, owners are very nice and friendly.
Lamb was cooked perfectly, along with everything else we ordered, chicken, beef, rice, all of it was juicy and seasoned to perfection.
Highly recommend this place to everyone both near and far. After wifey and i spoke with the owners because we had to tell them how hood the food was, we found out that we use to eat at there other spot in NY before they moved, what a small world, and what validation that good food is good food nomatter where you are.“

“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!!“

“Food is excellent. I am definitely going back“

“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.“

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

“I moved recently from California and never had this experience over there , staff was super friendly and nice and food was awesome and authentic (I am Persian ) I love their Taftoon bread also , thank you so much .“

“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.“

“Pulled over because I was running errands during my lunch break. Best decision I made all day. I got the spicy lamb gyro and it was delicious, warm, and packed with a lot of meat. It wasn't even that spicy as I had to ask before ordering it spicy because I love spicy food but a lot of places over do it . The nice lady at the window told me it wasn't that spicy and I went for it, brought it back to work and devoured it. I got one for my coworker and I was about to eat his because it was SOOO good. A little far from where I work but definitely worth the drive.“

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

“Chelo!!!! I am in love!!!! The beautiful dining room would have most likely had me coming back for a drink at a minimum.....Then I experienced the service and the food. I will be a regular. From the valet greeting us and being so kind and helpful, to the hostess, server, runners, bar staff....wow!!!!! It is very hard to go to a restaurant and find great staff everywhere you turn. Here you do! If you read any of my reviews....I am usually pretty detailed about my service experience. I think it makes or breaks the experience. Let's face it, dining out is expensive.....we have a choice where we spend our entertainment dollars. Chose Chelo! They will wow you! The food was also 5 stars. We dined on the falafel and cauliflower appetizers - both outstanding. I had the chicken kabab with saffron rice. Very very good as well. The rice will be in my thoughts for a while....so good! Thank you for a wonderful evening, looking forward to our next visit!“

“Went there for the time and wasn’t disappointed. Great service and great food. Will definitely go back.“

“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.“

“Organized my baby's first birthday here. From food to management's cooperation in accommodating every request I made, they were phenomenal. Muhammad bhai helped us in managing my event to every possible extent and the whole experience was so smooth that I felt like im organizing it at my own restaurant. Thanks team mughal for making my day. Thanks everyone especially Mr Muhammad for everything“
