Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Brookhaven

Walking into Knife - you are transported. Beautiful decor and artwork- drawn into a warm and inviting space with a bright bar and comfy seats! We were seated promptly in a booth (comfy for up to 6 people) and Olli and Honey (for whom it was her first day) greeted us! Happy hour has a decent range of apps and drinks (a very good lemon drop and for $10 and $5 for a local craft brew (Scofflaw) up until 7pm. Beautiful food arrived at the next table including Brandzino. We decided on a tapas route and choose three apps (Potatas Bravas, salmon sliders, and beet salad). Plenty for two with no boxing. Our servers were wonderful! Attentive on a quiet Monday and we enjoyed the calm and lovely atmosphere. Would make a point to come back here when in Atlanta.

Had a great experience, I’ll definitely be returning. Our server was sweet and attentive . The hookah, drinks & food came out fast even tho it was Valentine’s Day and it was packed. The only reason I’m giving 4 star is because I didn’t like the 75 minute table time, we felt rushed towards the end when we were trying to enjoy our drinks and hookah. And the valet drivers took forever to get our car, so we were standing in the cold freezing. But other than that the restaurant itself is 8/10, next time I’ll come on a not so busy day .

Wow! Chef Pano and cooking staff created magic on Valentine day evening more than the special price tag dictated! Choosing the lobster bites, scallops in Lucious sauce and lamb pie………..followed by beet Salad with a surprise beet sorbet on it wetted your pallet for main course of filet mignon or lamb shank……,,,the taste buds go crazy until the manager brings you the dessert tasting variety with cappacino……..voila heaven!

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day prix fixe dinner experience at Zakia. Early 5pm reservation and the space filled up quickly. Everything was delicious and they accommodated my shellfish allergy. The waiter was very knowledgeable and kind. Great knowledge of the wine selections as well. We asked him to space out the coursing prior to the entree and that worked out great so we had time to sit and relax. Would definitely recommend, gorgeous!

What a wonderful experience! This is the first restaurant I explored during my visit to Buckhead and I would absolutely repeat this choice! Beautiful yet simple atmosphere. Amazing music choice. Gorgeous plating and presentation of my meal. Creative libations as well (I didn’t get to try the smoked Palo Santo beverage but it smelled and looked delicious)! I started with the wood fired prawns, which were a generous serving size, moved to the lamb meatballs. The lamb was excellent! Didn’t leave a crumb behind! I left room for an espresso and chocolate mousse and was glad I did. Beautiful from start to finish! * ALSO: as I was leaving I noticed that they were holding a cooking class right in the center of the restaurant. If I was a local, they would see me there each month for that class. This is a must experience if you care about local, seasonal and mindful dining!
