Absolutely amazing everything. This restaurant may single handedly convince me to try more Mediterranean cuisine. The service was excellent. The food was brought out in a timely manner. There was also a complimentary cheese plate which was much appreciated. They also serve beyond meat kebab which was spectacular. Always appreciate restaurants that care for the vegetarians as well. The place was really thoughtfully decorated as well. Can't wait to go back!

This cute Mediterranean spot is in Johns Creek. Inside was gorgeous, great ambiance. We sat on the rooftop which was a bit empty yet there was a belly dancer to entertain the few of us there. It was incredibly hot on the rooftop, actually hotter than being outside. I tried the Salmon and Lamb, both were absolutely delicious. The food alone was 10/10. They also had Hookah but that is only available on the rooftop. Definitely a great spot to check out when in the area.

We made a reservation in advance and was seated promptly on time. Our server, Issac, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional yet personable. Issac taught us about the different dishes and flavors to ensure we would be happy with our menu choice. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is delicious. The music is a little distracting but the conversation at the table was good and drowned it out. I would recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. I will definitely be back. Ask for Issac for service, he is amazing!

We absolutely loved the food at Nara. Also the restaurant is so nicely decorated and is so elegant. We had great service with Sarita. She made sure we were taken care of. We started the meal with their complimentary appetizer and fries for my son. I got the shish tawouk with chicken with Nara saffron basmati rice. My husband ordered the Nara's grill with beef barg and koobideh kabob. Everything we ate was scrumptious and delicious. For dessert we got creme brûlée and ice cream. And ofcourse ended with Turkish coffee which was nice and strong. Will definitely will be back and sit again at the bar area since Sarita was so awesome!!!!

The food here is really good, but it's rather on the more expensive side. My friend and I shared two appetizers, two entrees, and one whiskey drink for a total of $143. Or so that's what I saw when I peeked. She picked this place as she's been here before with her workplace. She said that the meat here is halal so that was a cool fact. Also, the owner used to have a restaurant in Dubai. I've never had food, even down to the veggies (and I'm not a fan) that I thought was delicious. So this place seems really legit. The complimentary naan and tidbits of walnuts, olives + raddish, and cheese were pretty good. The naan looks like it was made in-house and looked and tasted really different. It had a light and airy taste and feel. The Nara's wings were plump and juicy. I'm the kind of gal that prefers the cleaner dry rubs and flavors. To me, a saucy wing is just masking how bland the meat really is. But no! These looked and tasted wonderful. Yes, I said it. It tasted wonderful! With 3 wings and 3 of the little drums, this will cost you $13. The grilled shrimp was humungous and oh so good. When you think grilled, you think healthier with not so much flavor, but think again. The sauce and flavors really stuck to the shrimp. It was as if it sat soaking in the juices and yumminess for days. This was also very plump and tasty. These 3 pieces for $18 was just not enough! I initially wanted the maqluba ($28). I do love the carbs! But that was the very thing that was pointed out to me is that this pick was primarily rice with very little lamb. I then picked the lamb shank ($28). And with this pick it's more of a stew-like dish. So the lamb kabob ($35) was recommended to me. Even the rice (I chose the dill and fava bean rice) was flavorful and different. I didn't expect a punch in flavor when it hit my mouth. It was salty but full of spices. Oh the spices in everything. To close the evening, we had the assorted blaklava which comes with 4 pieces for $10. My friend said the kanaffa is apparently really good as well. Service was pretty on par. Our main waitress knew her menu well and provided good recommendations. Apparently you can park on either side of the restaurant. There's a backside and front where the main parking lot is along with where the front entrance faces.

Came her on a Friday night with a few friends to celebrate ladies night. The place was beautiful and the service was great! The food was amazing! I'm not a big fan of Persian food but this place may have changed my mind. I ordered the sea bass with the Nara rice and it was so amazing. All of us ordered something different and all shared. The cauliflower with the salmon also blew my mind. I really loved it. The cauliflower had a hint of spice to it not to spicy but the perfect amount of heat. It was sooooo delicious! I would definitely be coming back!
