Best Persian Restaurants in Morningside-Lenox Park

Last night marked my inaugural dining experience at Divan, and it certainly did not disappoint! The valet service was quite affordable, and despite the bustling atmosphere, I was pleased to find that I didn’t wait long at all before my car was whisked away. Upon entering, we were met with a warm welcome and swiftly shown to our seats. The ambiance struck me as elegant and refined, creating the perfect backdrop for our meal. Haniyah, our server, was exceptional—she took the time to walk us through the menu, offered stellar recommendations, and checked in on us throughout the evening. I opted for a refreshing sangria, while my husband chose a delightful pomegranate wine—both drinks hit the spot! Following Haniyah's suggestions, we indulged in the hummus duo, Spice Roasted Double-Cut Lamb Rib Chops, and a flavorful curry with prawns. Our main dishes arrived in a timely manner, piping hot and cooked to perfection; they were utterly delectable, and the portion sizes were just right. We left no morsel behind! Although I had to skip dessert this time around, I’m already dreaming of a return visit to savor those sweet endings. I can hardly wait for my next culinary adventure at Divan!

I love Sufis, but I hate the parking lot! The parking lot is so steep, I literally had to climb out of my car! The angle is so extreme that I cannot keep my door open and get out of the car! I literally almost fell trying to hold the door open long enough to get out! I don’t know who designed that parking lot, but it is ridiculously steep!

The best Persian food I have ever eaten, consistently great. I try to fit Rumi’s Kitchen into every trip to Atlanta. We dined on the very busy Valentines Day and the food and staff were excellent. I love the Persian tea. Keep up the good work.

Have been multiple times. Last night was for Valentine’s dinner. We had a table for two against a window—perfect, we had light and were away from the “energy” of the entrance and bar—and make no mistake, Rummi’s is energetic! There are a lot of people, a lot of movement, and with that comes volume. But that is part of Rummi’s. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate spot, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a fun night with wonderful food and service, you’ve found it! Food/service? I’ve never had anything less than excellent food here (I gravitate to the sea bass and a date milkshake for desert). Also, I’ve never had less than stellar service. Definitely a great spot for a fun night and wonderful food!

My wife and I have been going to Rumi's at Avalon for years. The food is always AMAZING and the staff very courteous, friendly, and responsive. We have never had a bad experience and no matter what dish we try, it is SO flavorful. If you like Persian/Mediterranean food, you have to go to Rumi's!
