Yalda

The Best Mediterranean Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Everything at Yalda, a Persian restaurant in West Midtown, is gorgeous—macrame chandeliers glowing with crystals, ornate gold mirrors, and more potted trees than in Captain Planet’s apartment. But don’t be distracted by the aesthetics. From dapper date nighters to family night outs, Yalda is buzzy while being pocket-friendly. The delicious spice-rich ground chicken koobideh wrap is $15 and so huge you could share it with a date. This spot also works when you’re in need of a group meal that won’t break the bank with family-style plates of herb-flecked falafels with cous-cous and a Happy Hour menu with $5 spreads." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
