Mandolin Kitchen & Shisha Bar

“AMAZING!!! 10/10 . Food was SO good! Everything was so seasoned well! Atmosphere is a 10 out of 10 food was 10 out of 10. It’s such a vibe if you want a break from inner-city or if you live in the Sandy Springs area, this is a great place. The hookah has also really good and the DJ was lit!!”

“Mandolin Kitchen never disappoints! Delicious food, great service, and authentic flavors in every dish. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely worth the visit. We ordered quite a bit of appetizers but they were so good we ate before taking a picture. Can’t wait to come back!”

“This place is such a vibe. This place accommodated me immediately after I got turned away from another restaurant. The waitress recommended the shrimp plate and I am in love with the salad. The music was great and really created a wonderful vibe. I recommend this place a million times over because the waitress was so polite and helpful.”

“The food was great!! We had calamari, salmon, sea bass and the burger. The hookah was great as well. I cannot wait to come back!”

“Mandolin Kitchen – A Late-Night Gem I stopped in for a late dinner at Mandolin Kitchen, and it turned out to be an absolute delight from start to finish. I began with their new roasted red pepper labneh, a creamy, tangy dip reminiscent of hummus but with a deeper, roasted flavor. It was served with freshly baked warm bread that complemented it beautifully—comforting and full of flavor. For the main course, I ordered the Lavraki (Mediterranean sea bass), and it was nothing short of perfection—tender, flaky, and delicately seasoned to bring out the fish’s natural sweetness. It was accompanied by a generous side of roasted Brussels sprouts, a crisp salad, and tender baby asparagus. The salad leaned a bit heavy on the dressing, but everything else was spot on—fresh, balanced, and vibrant. To end the meal, I enjoyed a cup of authentic Turkish coffee, rich and aromatic with that signature hint of spice and sweetness. It was the perfect finale to a wonderful meal. The restaurant also offers valet parking, though I opted out—it felt a bit unnecessary given the easy street parking nearby. Overall, Mandolin Kitchen delivered an outstanding dining experience: refined yet relaxed, flavorful yet balanced. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their Mediterranean dishes.”
