"Zakia, the modern Lebanese restaurant by Ryan and Jonathan Akly in Buckhead transports you to a luxe Middle Eastern oasis. The carved marble columns, the gold leaf metallic details, and lush velvet chairs are all about the luxurious feel in this restaurant. The white floors and ample windows let in plenty of natural light, opening up the place. The open kitchen feels like live entertainment, adding to the jovial and fine atmosphere of the restaurant. At 6,000 square feet, Zakia features seating for just over 200 people between the dining room, bar and lounge, and private dining spaces. A room on the second floor is reserved for private events. Be sure to order the tableside arak service with a selection of mezze." - Beth McKibben, Eater Staff
