Middle Eastern Restaurants near Dunwoody, GA

“I love the food, service, ambiance and everything about this place. No non-sense. The food and hospitality speak for themselves, but the fact this place is always booming with familiar faces during lunch is a testament to Cafe Sababa. I'm sad it took me so long to discover this place, but this is a new weekly stop for me and it should be for you as well. The Lamb Sandwich and Shawarma Pocket are on another level!“

“1/21//23. Date night. First time here. Beautiful decor and awesome music. I ordered chicken kabobs with Basmati rice. Hubby ordered beef and chicken kabobs with rice. It was so fresh And well seasoned. Finished with homemade saffron and cardamom ice cream. Must try .“

“I loved going with my family to Layaly! My mom’s friend is sister to Paul, and we went there together! I don’t think anything needs to be improved, since everything went out well and the food was delicious. I definitely say many people should go!!!“

“This restaurant was recommended by a friend and after trying it, we have become regulars. I'd say that, on average, we probably eat here about twice a week. I've tried most of the kebabs (which are all great), but my usual is the combo platter (gyro and chicken, pita, hummus and taboulah, though I sub the taboulah for the kale salad). My wife loves the house salad with two chicken kebabs. Their Greek salads are great as are the kufta and beef kebabs.Customer service here is great as well. The entire staff is very welcoming and friendly. They always ask how your day is going and greet you with a smile. I can't recommend The Sahara Grill enough. Great good. Great service.“

“Returned to Chelo on Easter & had our first look at their new brunch menu. We were very happy that all rice options were available to order since the wraps came with fries - & they were very good fries too. There are entrees as well that fill out the abbreviated menu & include a side of eggs. My salmon-potato patty was delicious. Chicken wrap & Salmon wrap looked good with the fish getting two thumbs up & friend's chicken wrap was made better by an addition of harissa that was requested as a side add on condiment that we had to ask for a number of times before it was delivered- no biggie, but when delicious desserts came well before our requested coffees, we wondered, what was up with that. We eventually determined that the coffee service is something that is handled by only certain employees so that is probably why there was a wait. Chelo has a nice little deck out back for al fresco dining & the inside ambience is as nice during the day as it is at night.“

“Olomi’s Grill in Johns Creek is a hidden gem for Mediterranean halal food. The Kabuli Puluo is a flavorful delight, combining tender meat with aromatic spices. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff add to the overall dining experience, making it a must-try spot.“

“This was nearby and I decided to try it for lunch. I ordered the chicken kabob plate which came with (yellow) basmati and a side salad. I watched her cook the chicken breast to order which was nice to see it made fresh. Flavor of the chicken and rice was delicious!! I also ordered a side of Greek fries. I think the fries could be a bit crispier.The lady who took my order and cooked it was very sweet. Place was clean. I’d recommend it and would try other dishes!Dietary restrictions: I am gluten and dairy free and they were able to put those item separate.Parking: There is free parking behind the building“

“The proprietor is so obviously vested in insuring his customers are familiar with the food he serves. He takes the time to explain what's in his Mediterranean dishes and how it is prepared. He makes it feel like you are joining him in his home to share a meal. The food BTW is excellent!“

“The menu is awesome. The food is authentic and DELICIOUS! Once you’ve had your food from the grill, go next door to the bakery and sample the baklava and Turkish delights! The customer service is exceptional, and everything is delicious! I will DEFINITELY be back!“

“My wife and I went for lunch at the Avalon location. It was very lively. The food was great!! This is our third time here. We enjoyed the meal in a nice ambiance. I made a reservation ahead of time, however, walk-ins are welcome as well.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian. Options were available in appetizers and entree.Parking: Parking lot was behind the restaurant. There are plenty of spaces in the parking lot.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is a gem in the Clarkston community! The service is excellent - always greeted with a smile day from day one. The food is delicious and you can tell great care went into preparing it. This is now my go to spot away from home (literally down the street)!“

“Amazing food! Loved the hummus with pita. Spanikopita is worth trying, and the falafel was delicious. Friends of mine enjoyed the kabobs and Lamb chops! We got so excited about the entrees that I forgot to take photos, so the only ones I have are of the appetizers. Staff is awesome as well. You will love it here!!“

“We absolutely loved the food, and will be back for that very reason alone. The service was pretty good although a drink and a side never made it to our table and we were charged for the side as well as an extra pita bread that we did not order. Looking forward to returning.“

“It was my second time going to this restaurant and I would like to come back here again and again. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming and hosts are really hospitable. We ordered 3 dishes and they were all delicious. Besides, they treated us with a complementary tea as well as a very good roulette which I recommend u to try.“

“I want to begin by saying that I was not originally going to this restaurant, I was going to the Thai place next door but their service was backed up and poor. I went into this restaurant at 8:30 not knowing anything about the restaurant about Mediterranean food I blindly went inside when I went to the counter. The owner was very kind and took my order made some small talk mentioned that they were closed at eight, but that he would still make me the food, I was a little embarrassed because I did not really know that it was closed, but I was Grateful That he opened his kitchen again for me. The food took about 15 minutes to make. I took it to go. I’m currently eating it right now and when I tell you that it’s a perfection, I cannot stress out enough. I hate hummus with a passion like I would never buy hummus in my life and this plate came with it and I’m actually eating the hummus like what I will 100% be going back to this place they can count me in for sure. Also if you know anyone that’s hiring, the owner mentioned that he needs some help in the front and in the kitchen so go ahead and give him a little support over there !I got the salmon plate with rice hummus and salad &strawberry Fanta.“

“Mmmmm, shawarma. Got a Bezoria feast, a bowl stuffed with meats, veggies and sauce plus falafel.The meats here are high quality, and I loved the chicken and grilled shrimp combo! Combine that with tender yellow rice, crunchy vegetables and creamy tahini and garlic sauce and you are in for an explosion of flavor.They have a variety of Cokes and some delicious teas and specialty drinks. I loved the tangy, sweet and floral Rosewater lemonade!For a quick and delicious meal that is so filling and way healthier than a burger, Bezoria is the answer!The falafel is fresh and fried crispy with a tender center and, save room for dessert because the baklava was GOOOOOD.Parking: Busy on a Friday night but it’s a big parking lot.“

“Absolutely LOVED the food. I had the spicy buffalo shawarma platter with falafel and grape leaves (new for me) and it was INCREDIBLE.First, the place is quite small, but cozy. There is enough seating and I loved the small mom and pop shop vibe that was there. This is a small business and it feels that way too (in a good way). I ordered for pickup and the food was already there waiting for me. Good first impression!I got home and to my surprise it was still steaming hot, which is pretty impressive. They loaded my plate up with shawarma and loved the rice that they had. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, but so flavorful and seasoned. The rice was incredible too, it was also seasoned as well. The falafel were pretty great albeit a bit small, but the grape leaf was pretty interesting. It is an acquired taste that I really really liked, the only thing I can compare it to is a very pungent and somewhat sour roll of rice. It was really really good though and I wish I ordered some more. Portions were great though, I had a ton of chicken and rice and I have leftovers, so no complaints there.Overall, I'll definitely come back again and order some more. Genuinely great food and great staff as well!“

“Absolutely the best authentic food! Better than my Middle Eastern mother makes, but don’t tell her! Anyway, we had the fried eggplant, grape leaves, chicken shawarma, kofta, rice, pita, and baklava. All were delicious but the rice and eggplant in particular were so flavorful that I had to buy more to take home for a midnight snack!Staff and service were great too! Mohammad took care of us and was absolutely outstanding. He was courteous, efficient, and has an engaging personality. Will definitely tell my friends and return often.“

“Came here on a date with my sweetie and the ambience is delightful. We arrived almost right at the time they opened, which was a good thing because they filled up FAST! I highly recommend getting a reservation.We had the sweetest server who was attentive. And then the food came out. Oh my! We started with the cabbage wraps - I think I could just sit and eat those!! And then the salad came out, which was fresh and tasty. Then we had the main entrees- their steak is truly amazing, well flavored and oh, so well seasoned. We could tell that they definitely cook everything from scratch. Honestly, the best Persian food I've ever had.“

“Halal Guys is a late-night gem! Their chicken, gyros, and falafel platters are a great options, satisfying cravings even in the wee hours. The fact that they're open until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays is a game-changer. I like to order a platter. It comes with your choice of protein, rice, lettuce tomatoes and then you can add onion, green peppers, jalapeños, white sauce and hot sauce. Each bite is a burst of flavor, making it the perfect spot for a tasty, late-night feast. Try the hot sauce with caution! A must-try for those looking for a delicious and convenient dining option during late hours! It's a better option than McDonalds and Taco Bell when you're still hungry but don't want fast food.“

“Had a good Gyro, wasn't impressed with the Feta Fries that were pushed as the best thing ever. The afternoon sun was blinding as well, they need to lower the blinds earlier in the day to keep that from bothering the guests.Parking: its a strip mall there is plenty of parking“

“My wife and I had an amazing experience dining at Nara. This is not the first time we have enjoyed the great food and hospitality at this wonderful restaurant. Tonight’s experience was extra special because of Celine, our hostess, and the opportunity to meet the owner Mr. Rashid. Celine is such a sweet and nice person and took such good care of us. Mr. Rashid is so down-to-earth and polite and shared a bit of his entrepreneurial journey. We look forward to dining there again. Cheers! Dave Chatterjee“

“The food was delicious. The bottle of wine was worth it as well. The service was wonderful. The only downside for me was that there was no changing station in the restroom so I had to pack my baby up and change her in the car. I will for sure go back here and I also really like the market attached to the restaurant.Parking: Parking was super easy.“
