Atlanta | This Rice at Delbar Truly Made My Day! đ¤¤â¨
Delbar has three locations in Atlantaâtwo near downtown and one in Johns Creekâand I recently visited the Johns Creek branch. Let me just say: this meal was an absolute delight from start to finish! đ đ Parking Tip The plaza offers complimentary valet parking, though you could also park at the nearby Avalon Medical Center and walk over. Iâd strongly recommend valetâthe attendants were incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of positive energy. Even though itâs free, leaving a small tip feels right for such great service. đľđ đ˝ď¸ Ambiance & Service The dining room is dimly lit with a cozy fireplace, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere perfect for dates. Outdoor seating is also available. Our server noticed it was our first time trying Middle Eastern (Persian-inspired) cuisine and patiently walked us through the menu and wine list. đˇđ đĽ What We Ordered (all recommendations from Google & social media â zero regrets!) ⢠Mushroom Hummus â creamy, earthy, and delicious with warm fresh bread. ⢠Lamb Shank â fallâoffâtheâbone tender, richly spiced, and deeply flavorful. ⢠Honey Roasted Chicken â sweet, savory, and perfectly juicy. ⢠Signature Rice (I forgot the name, but Delbar offers three varieties) â an absolute star! đ đ Pro Tip About the Rice If you order rice, pair it with a saucy dish (like the lamb shank or stew). The rice comes in a generous portion with a crispy bottom layer (âtahdigâ). Mixing that crispy rice with flavorful sauce while itâs still partly crunchy is pure magic. Highly recommend! đŤ đ Service Highlights Our server was attentive throughoutârefilling bread before we even asked (true âHaidilaoâstyleâ anticipation! đ), gracefully handling a birthday celebration at the next table, and carefully packing our leftovers. Even the bill was thoughtfully calculated with tip suggestions based on the preâtax amount. Every detail tonight felt seamless and sincere. If youâre in Atlantaâwhether visiting or living hereâDelbar is a mustâtry for memorable Middle Eastern cuisine. An experience that satisfies both the stomach and the soul. đĽâ¤ď¸ #Delbar #JohnsCreek #MiddleEasternFood #AtlantaEats #DateNight #PersianCuisine #FoodieHeaven #AtlantaRestaurants #MustTryAtlanta #RiceLovers #CozyDining #SouthernHospitality #FoodExperience #AtlantaLife
