Arzeh Grill — Restaurant in Woodstock

Restaurant was good clean and I love middle eastern food. Did I want to love this place? Yes. Did I? Well I'm torn. Fresh idea, fresh culture (for the area) if it's done well. First I noticed there was no lamb on the menu, and although this isn't unusual for Woodstock Georgia, it is unusual for a Lebanese restaurant. Wait, it's ok, they have chicken Schwarma rotating on a skewer. I ordered the falafels (because they are a good judge of how a place seasons and cooks). Chicken Shawarma, and Chicken Taok (skewer). Oh and do you have some spicy sauce to go with. It got brought out (pic below) and looked good. Chicken skewer was moist, not bursting with flavor but ok. The falafel (slightly over cooked) was in a donut shape and not bursting with flavor but ok, are you seeing a theme here? The chicken Shawarma was ok (same as above) but to add to that the chicken was pretty dry. In my experience a result of precooking chicken on the rotisserie and then reheating later. The flatbread was the Star, light simple, and slightly charred. Fries inside were ok. The spicy sauce was reminiscent of a chilli paste that you get at Japanese restaurants, the white sauce seemed to be a yoghurt and lemon juice mix. (If I had my way I would have added parsley or mint).

So all in all.... It's a 2, they have the bones of a good restaurant but need to take some risks, gamble with flavors, have some Taboulleh, mouhammara, maybe experiment with some sauces from other neighboring regions, or influences (Indian spices mint yoghurt) ......

Try it out, see what you think, with an Aegean grill close by and Cava in the other direction if fear that if Arzeh sticks to their current menu in their current location, it may...

My wife and I were excited to learn that a new middle Eastern place has opened in our area, and we were not disappointed by Arzeh Grille's food or service! It's in a location tucked a little back from Towne Lake Parkway right off of 575 near a gas station, but don't let the location fool you: they have phenomenal food! In fact, the only thing I didn't love, the baklava, was the only food not made in-house! We ordered the mixed grill so that we could try the fillet, kubideh kabob, and chicken kabob as well as the chicken shwarma - essentially all of the meats! Each one was absolutely fantastic, but the fillet probably takes home the trophy for being most delicious. The hummus was good, although the pita that came with it at first seemed like it wouldn't be enough, but lo! and behold, we barely finished the pita! Both meats came with a side salad that was clean and fresh as well as some pickles, which were unexpected but absolutely fantastic. Even the rice was good - the fries were just so-so, but we only got them because we were trying to figure out how well our kids might like it. I think they would actually prefer the rice! The staff was also incredibly kind, and they obviously take great pride in the quality of the food they make. The chef came around to ask what we thought, although our mostly empty plates probably gave him sufficient feedback! The only star I took off was for ambiance/atmosphere. It was a bit louder than I had expected with hiphop and pop music playing. I don't mind the genre choice, but the volume would be a bit hard for our hard-of-hearing child to endure for a long period (but I think he might endure it for the quality...

Update:

We recently hired Arzeh to cater our son’s rehearsal dinner, and every single detail was absolutely perfect. From the very first consultation to the final bite, the team went above and beyond to ensure that the evening was unforgettable.

The food was nothing short of spectacular—perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. Our guests are still raving about the chicken taouk and beef kabobs.

Planning a wedding event can be stressful, but Arzeh made the rehersal dinner completely effortless. Their attention to detail, communication, and hospitality were unmatched. The owner and staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely kind.

If you’re looking for catering that will truly impress your guests and give you peace of mind, look no further. Arzeh helped us create a night we’ll remember forever!

We’ve found our new favorite restaurant in Woodstock!! The food is delicious! We ordered a mixed grill- all meats were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The rice was also very tasty. We also tried the chicken shawarma sandwich- the meat was well spiced! We will definitely be...
