Exploring Middle Eastern Flavors at Delbar in Atlanta 🥙✨

Trying Delbar Middle Eastern Restaurant in Atlanta today — and yes, compared to California, the prices here feel much more wallet-friendly! 💸 Here’s my totally personal take on the meal: 🍢 1. Lamb Kebab Skewers A popular pick online, but personally, I found them just okay. The minced lamb mixed with spices and grilled didn’t have the texture I love in traditional Chinese lamb skewers. A slight gamey note lingered, so if you prefer tender, chunky, this might not hit the spot. 🐑 🍚 2. Saffron Rice Pilaf My favorite of the meal! Fragrant, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned — easily enough for four people. Since we also ordered flatbread, it was a lot of carbs for two, but so worth it. 😋 🧀 3. Complimentary Cheese Salad A pleasant surprise! The cheese wasn’t overpowering — tangy at first, then creamy and mild. A refreshing, light start to the meal. 🥗 🫓 4. Hummus with Fresh Flatbread A classic done well. The hummus was smooth and rich with a tangy, savory edge, and the warm flatbread was perfectly soft. Great value and delicious! 💚 🧆 5. Falafel (The “Ball” Dish) The most unique item, but not my personal favorite. Crispy outside, soft inside, made from ground chickpeas and herbs — but the spice blend and texture didn’t quite win me over. Still, an authentic bite worth trying for the experience! 🌿 🍰 6. Dessert: Ice Cream with Pistachio Cake A lovely finish! The warm pistachio cake (similar to steamed cake) was lightly sweet and nutty, topped with rich, creamy ice cream. Not too heavy and perfectly balanced after the meal. 🍦🌰 Overall, Delbar offers a fresh, healthy, and vibrant dining experience. The service was warm, the space inviting, and the ingredients felt clean and high-quality. While it might not fully satisfy a strong craving for bold Chinese flavors, it’s a wonderful choice for anyone seeking lighter, nutritious meals or wanting to explore Middle Eastern cuisine. The world is wide — and so is the menu here! 🌍❤️ #DelbarAtlanta #MiddleEasternFood #AtlantaEats #FoodReview #HealthyEating #AtlantaRestaurants #FoodExplorer #GlobalCuisine #TrySomethingNew #AtlantaFoodie #HummusLove #FoodDiary #AtlantaLife
