"Even if this Buckhead restaurant didn’t serve food, we’d pay to just sit inside and take in the view. Five multi-tiered chandeliers light up the giant space and large ornate pillars line the main dining room—this place is absolutely over the top, but we like that here in the A. And once the family-style Lebanese dishes hit the table, Zakia really starts flexing. Use the labneh sprinkled with za’atar as a palate cleanser in between bites of crispy batata harra and creamy lamb ragu hummus. Entrees like red wine braised lamb shanks (so tender the lamb falls away from the bone with one poke of a fork) are harder to share—we want every bite for ourselves." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
