Delbar in Inman Park is your go-to for a vibrant taste of Middle Eastern cuisine, serving up mouthwatering Persian, Turkish, and Israeli dishes in a stylish, cozy setting that’s perfect for sharing.
"The simple thing would be to write off Inman Park’s Delbar as another pretty, sceney restaurant lush with plants and a roomy sunroom. But you’d be wrong. When the smooth, creamy hummus hits the table, and when the flaky sea bass arrives, any doubts will be put to rest. The char-grilled, citrusy wings? They’re quietly some of the most flavorful in a city relentlessly obsessed with drums and flats. And the zesty-sweet spring pea salad is a contender for Best Salad On Any Menu Anywhere. So yes, Delbar is buzzy and perfect for big groups, but it’s the food that always steals the show." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Delbar isn’t just the center of Inman Park Square’s universe, it’s one of the best restaurants in town. The energy’s high, it's always lively, and you might bump into someone you know while dodging the occasional plant. Despite the gorgeous sunroom and breezy sunken outdoor patio, the Iranian food is the real star here. Think: char-grilled citrusy wings, flaky sea bass, and a zesty spring pea salad that landed on our Best Salad’s guide." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"You'll find all the shade you need near the big potted trees, beige umbrellas, and boxed garden beds at Delbar in Inman Park. If there's someone in your crew who never wants to eat outside, there’s also a chic sunroom, which gives outdoor vibes without the side of pollen. Make good use of your friends by sampling all the different refreshing cocktails, which perfectly spotlight ingredients like thyme, za'atar, and harissa. The Middle Eastern kitchen consistently dishes out some the best food in the city, so deciding on an order can be hard. Thankfully, their complimentary bread service helps to take the edge off your hunger so you can take more time with the menu. Then dig into family-style sides like big plates of herby rice with crispy top and the massive, tender leg of lamb." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Delbar’s wings are some of the best wings in Atlanta right now. Here’s the kicker—they aren’t fried or smoked. They’re grilled, and the garlic, citrus-y flavor goes right down to the bone. This dish is by far one of the best things to get on a menu full of absolutely fantastic choices."—Jacinta Howard, Senior Staff Writer" - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
"The wildly popular Persian restaurant Delbar serves lunch at all its locations, including the newly opened Buckhead spot. You can’t go wrong with the Delbar breakfast platter for $60, which comes with an assortment of mezze dishes and is perfect for sharing. The salmon kookoo (a crispy patty of salmon belly, potato, cilantro, scallions, and cumin, topped with pickled mango and avocado tahini and chili oil) is a must-try. Plenty of egg dishes are also available, including the shakshuka." - Lia Picard, Henna Bakshi
