Arepa Grill Kitchen & Wine

I had an amazing experience at Arepa Grill Kitchen and Wine in Roswell! The restaurant offers a perfect blend of modern Venezuelan and Spanish cuisine, with contemporary dishes, a cozy atmosphere, and excellent service. I enjoyed refreshing and delicious drinks, classic appetizers with a modern twist, and incredibly flavorful main courses. And to top it all off, the dessert was the perfect ending to an experience that will have me coming back soon! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Here’s a review for you: I had the pleasure of dining at Arepa Kitchen & Wine, and I must say it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and vibrant décor that transported me straight to the heart of Venezuela. The menu offered a fantastic variety of authentic dishes, and every bite was a taste of home-cooked tradition. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, happy to share the stories behind each dish and offer great recommendations. Overall, Arepa Kitchen & Wine is a gem that delivers both delicious food and a cultural experience. Whether you’re familiar with Venezuelan cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Fortunately for me and my foodie husband, Roswell, and its surrounding areas have no shortage of solid dining options, but that never stops me from being excited when a new option pops up nearby. It was no exception when I heard about Arepa Grill Kitchen & Wine because both arepas and wine are easy things to love! Rather than brave the chaos of dining out on Valentine's Day, hubby and I decided to check out the Arepa Grill Kitchen the day before Valentine's madness, and we are likely going back again this weekend even though it has only been a few days. Yes, it was that good! I typically like to peruse a new place's menu beforehand but unfortunately, there was no menu to be found for Arepa Grill Kitchen, so I photographed every page of it during our visit to help future diners know exactly what to expect. I was surprised at how vast and diverse the menu is. They combine both Venezuelan and Spanish cuisines and their menu is rich with options from each, so there is definitely something for every taste here and is also the reason why I am eager to go back and try even more of their offerings. The ambiance is upscale and trendy but not uptight or overdone, which makes for a nice casual and comfortable vibe. Service was good, though it was clear they were still trying to find their groove in some respects. For example, the runner brought us food ordered from a nearby table as we were getting ready to clear out our tab, which is not a big deal, but just a sign that they may still have some minor kinks to work out. The food itself was outstanding! They brought out a mix of crispy goodies like fried plantains and fried yucca along with an assortment of dipping sauces. This was a complimentary starter and we absolutely loved it. All of the sauces were delicious and paired beautifully with the crisps that accompanied it. We started out with an arepa tour and asked for one of each. We both thoroughly enjoyed all of them. My husband ordered the Pabellon Criollo big plate, which came with his much loved white rice and black beans along with shredded beef, plantains, a fried egg, and a couple of mini arepas. It looked really good and he loved it. I ordered the bacon burger and asked them to hold the lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. I thought it was odd that they did not ask me how I would like the burger cooked, but when it arrived, I understood why. Their burgers are not traditional burgers, which I think is important to note in this review as many people will likely assume that they are regular burgers and though I was happily surprised to learn the truth, others may not be. Being of Cuban descent and originally from Miami, I know a frita when I see one and the burger at Arepa Grill Kitchen is really a frita, not a burger. The difference is in the meat. A frita is a Latin American burger that mixes ground beef with chorizo (Spanish sausage). It is generally delicious and I love them, but I also love burgers and one thing is certainly not the other, so if you do order a burger from here, keep in mind that it will taste slightly different (a tad dryer and with a bit more kick) than a more traditional burger. It was easily the best frita I have ever had and I was tempted to return the next day for lunch just to have it again, but I want future diners to be aware that this is not your average burger by any means. I took a picture of it cut in half so that you can get a closer look at what I'm talking about. I highly recommend trying it and as long as you are not expecting a traditional burger, I believe you will love it as much as I did because it is genuinely finger-licking good! I was even more glad that I had asked them to hold the veggies on it because I don't think they would have paired well with it and I have never seen a frita served with anything other than the little picnic chips, which in retrospect should have been a clue for me that this was not a normal burger. If you love great food and good service in an upscale, comfortable environment, you will likely love this place as much as I did.

Our first time dining at this new sit down location of Arepa Grill. We used to be regulars at the restaurant that occupied the space before (Casa Robles) and will be regulars at Arepa Grill. Great food, good wine, reasonable prices that make going out a feasible option in these times, wonderful presentation of the foods. Considering that they just opened, only minor quirks to work out. Super friendly and working hard to get the wonderful restaurant which was filled to the brim on this Friday night going smoothly.

Arepa Grill Kitchen & Wine is an absolute hidden gem in Roswell! The food is spectacular—each dish is crafted with care, full of flavor, and served fresh. The service is warm and attentive, making every visit feel personal and special. The ambiance is inviting and elegant. A true treasure in the heart of Roswell!

The service was phenomenal! It was absolutely exceptional. At least 4 people came over to our table and talked about their vision for the restaurant. It felt so comfortable. The food was spectacular. The plantains they bring with the array of dips were absolutely magnificent. I enjoyed a shredded chicken empanada and the crust was so flaky and fresh. The chicken was amazing. For my dinner, I ordered the Steak Cachapa… man… that.. words are hard to find when discussing that dish. I had never had one before but man it was that great. I fell in love with every bite and I look forward to the next time I come to this establishment and try more of this enticing menu.

We had an amazing experience, food was delicious and FRESH!!! Love the Venezuelan tapas, Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes. 100% recommend.

Amazing food! We started with tequeños and calamari, with chicha to drink, then moved on to an arepa sampler and a gargantuan Venezuelan Delux burger. Tasty and savory, we left full and happy! Well-lit restaurant is great for people with poor vision and the waitstaff were warm and hospitable. I will definitely come again!

An awesome addition to Roswell and to Oak Street! We were super excited to find out a Venezuelan restaurant was opening nearby and decided to try it out for a Sunday lunch. The complementary chips with sauces were a nice surprise. We tried the tequenos ($7), black vegan arepa ($10), pabellon arepa ($12), and fried yucca. Everything felt fresh and vibrant. The atmosphere felt fitting for either a date night or a dinner with friends. We appreciated that the menu had a wide variety of price points depending on if you want a casual meal or a nicer experience. Our server was friendly and thorough in offering recommendations. This was another restaurant where we talked about coming back while we were still eating. In a sea of American restaurants near downtown Roswell, this restaurant is a welcome change.

We are heading back soon and are looking forward to trying out more goodies on their extensive menu.

Amazing Venezuela. Restaurant with a Spanish twist! Nice drinks and beautiful atmosphere.

It's like the family dinner we all want with none of the drama that can come with it . The food is outstanding and the service is highly personal and welcoming with an invitation to come back soon...which I promise you that you will.

Delicious flavorful food with great presentation, great vibe. Nice bar in addition to indoor and outdoor seating.

We stopped in at Arepa Grill Kitchen & Wine (45 Oak St., Roswell), for dinner last night after reading a review by Roswell's Joe Duffy on NextDoor.com. We were VERY impressed and loved the food, the service, and the upscale casual atmosphere. Food was exceptional, with lots of variety (huge menu!) and Pedro the owner and his staff were great hosts with very insightful explanations of the items on the menu. I've had Venezuelan food many times before while on extended work assignments in Venezuela and it brought back memories of why I loved the food on every visit. This is a new go to place for us and I really hope that others can discover it soon and help to keep it thriving. Pedro and his wife have two other restaurants under the name Arepa Grill in Chamblee and Doraville. Highly recommended and definitely worth a visit.
