Atlanta Restaurants: Persian-Mediterranean Restaurant Yalda Is Opening in Sandy Springs and City of Atlanta on Howell Mill Road | Eater Atlanta

"Opening in the summer at the Osprey complex on the corner of Howell Mill Road and 10th Street in the City of Atlanta, Yalda will continue chef and co-owner Ashkan Familli’s vision of a Persian concept with Mediterranean emphases, featuring Persian-style meze, meat and seafood entrees, and wines and cocktails influenced by Persian flavors and Mediterranean ingredients. Like the Sandy Springs location, the Osprey outpost will have interior design and all-weather patios themed after Darband, use pomegranate in both food and cocktails, and center the menu on shared small plates inspired by Yalda night traditions. The Osprey complex also houses an all-day breakfast location of Snooze an A.M. Eatery that opened earlier this year." - Beth McKibben
