My favorite Mediterranean restaurant in all of Atlanta!!! I came here for my birthday and came back again for my boyfriend‘s birthday because it was just that good! We got the Hummus and labenh For appetizers and ordered the falafel plate and chicken barg and zatar fries. The baklava is amazing and tastes so rich. All the food taste authentic, and the saffron on the rice really elevates it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a new date night spot. Our server was also amazing. We had her both timed and she’s always so kind and attentive.

We ordered the lamb shank and the Sultani kebab, and both were delicious with amazing flavor and tenderness. The food tasted fresh and well-seasoned.
The service was also excellent — the servers were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.
For dessert, we tried the baklava, which was the perfect sweet finish to the meal.
Overall, highly recommend this place if you want great food and great service. I’ll definitely be back!

10/10 experience! I cannot say this enough. One of my girlfriends said I would love this place for our GNO and she did not disappoint. I quite literally cannot wait to return here. This is officially on my list of top 5 dinner places in Atlanta. We had the hummus, wings, chicken shish kabobs with rice with lentils and raisins. Just about all the cocktails and tiramisu to top it off.

A nice Persian restaurant with fabulous interiors. They have a mezzanine seating and covered outdoor seating.
We need to make reservations to get a table as it becomes crazy busy.
The staff are very welcomimg, patient and will go beyond to explain the menu, suggest items and check on the food.
The presentation of the food is top notch. Each and every dish is meticulously arranged.
The starters are within a nice price range but entreees go beyond 15.
Food is very good; tasty and fresh.
The drinks and desserts have a separate menu.
Try anything with pickled mushrooms and you will have no complaints.

I have been to Yalda’s couple of times before and every time it has been an amazing experience. We ordered hummus, baba ghanoush, and falafel plate, all of those dishes are awesome, very tasty.
I also had the cucumber fresh drink, which was not for my palate, but a lot of folks like it. The pomegranate one is much better because it’s sweet.
The ambience is great as well, and so was the service, pretty quick.

This is my second time dining at Yalda specifically for lunch, and I really enjoyed it. Overall, the food was very tasty and great quality.
My friend and I ordered 3 items from the lunch menu to split and it was more than enough. The salmon wrap is excellent and I recommend ordering this because they typically only have it on the lunch menu. It is served with seasoned fries and a savory dipping sauce. Loved! The Chenjeh (grilled sirloin) was excellent. We ordered it medium rare and it was perfectly cooked.
Overall, I do recommend Yalda but I will say that Rumi’s kitchen still reigns supreme for Persian cuisine. I would rank Delbar #2.
Excellent service here and the aesthetic is totally on point!

An early dinner with friends at Yalda was more than just an incredible meal, it was an experience. We were all new to this restaurant and was immediately impressed with the classy ambience and hospitality. Our server was very knowledgeable and patiently answered our many questions and guided our selections as we were all unfamiliar with the menu. We made several selections, sauces (garlic toum and tzatziki), appetizers (roasted Haloumi cheese), salad, 3 different rices, entrees, and dessert (pistachio ice cream) and every single dish was beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful! We were dressed very casually and was still treated with utmost respect, but if I were to dine after 6 I would dress nicer. Great place for a meal with friends, romantic date, or business dinner. I can’t wait to go back and try other offerings. Parking is tricky if you don’t know the area, so go for the free parking garage located very close to the restaurant or choose their valet service. The cost was very reasonable for a complete food journey/experience!

Beautiful restaurant, great music, and the hostesses were so sweet. Food was delicious!!! Loved the hummus and the chicken kabob was the best I’ve ever tasted. I did asked the bar to put my mocktail in a wine glass and they said it would change the drink (whatever that means ). I’ve asked other restaurants to put a mocktail in a wine glass and they have always been happy to do it. And as a former waitress, if a guest wanted their drink transferred to a wine glass or flute, I would have no issue with that because I’m aware that some people choose not to drink alcohol due to pregnancy, diets, alcoholism etc. but still want to feel included. The manager checked in on us and it gave me the opportunity to share with him the importance of making people who don’t drink alcohol feel included, which I really appreciated. Our server seemed overwhelmed and not very attentive. The chocolate cake was divine, but the pomegranate cheesecake was too dense and cakey. Overall, a lovely experience with great food and atmosphere, with just a few areas that could be improved.

Great atmosphere and wonderful service. The food was clean and well prepared. I had the salmon kebab and really appreciated the gluten-free option. The falafel was also good. The only downside is parking—even with valet, there aren’t many spots available on a busy night. That said, I’d
definitely come back.

The small plates like hummus, falafel, and sauces were really good. The veg kebab platter was okay. Service was good, and the mocktails were enjoyable. The saffron ice cream served with the baklava was absolutely amazing.
