   Incredible experience. Service was so warm and genuine. Loved the food and ambiance. Was like dining overseas. Sorry, my soup was finished at the time I took the photo.

   We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Mandolin Kitchen last night. We changed tables two times because the first table was at the corner window and there was a cold draft. The second table was inside and pretty much in darkness. We finally found an acceptable table. There was no printed menu. We ordered salads and main courses. The salads had barely been served when the main courses arrived which was much too soon. Some of us felt that we were being rushed. We had barely finished eating and had hoped to continue our conversation when the loud music started. It was painfully loud and we could not have a conversation so we left. As we were leaving, we noticed that other tables had hookahs. If you have become mainly a hookah bar, you should advertise as such so people won't come expecting a dining experience.

   The food was good, but they charged $20 to park our car. We probably will not go back

   Food was delish, service was great and love the fact there was a cool DJ, who played good music that didn't disrupt conversations. Also enjoyed the hookahs. We started with several appetizers, all were very good. The bread was amazing and the falafel was the best I have had in Atl. I had the shisk kabob, which was large pieces of filet. The meat was tender and tasty. I would definitely order it again. Only negative was that it was pretty warm in the restaurant.

    It’s a shame this place had changed. This place used to offer some of the most authentic, delicious Turkish and middle eastern dishes. The menu is very Americanized and bland now. The food is not bad, but good middle eastern is easily found elsewhere. This place has also seemed to be rebranded as a hookah lounge. Smoking is offered on their new patio area (which was a comfortable area) but also inside. So, if you want to eat some plain kebabs with indifferent service and someone smoking their hookah smoke next to you while you eat, then, this is the place. After going here many, many times we definitely will not be returning now that it’s changed.

    The experience at Mandolin was average. The $20 valet fee was surprising. The inside seating accommodations were not in good standing and we noticed one main booth seat was torn up (the leather or vinyl was completely worn off), thus we opted for outdoors. When we were seated, the hostess advised there was a $75 minimum per person for being seated outside; I don’t recall seeing that stipulation on OpenTable when we booked, or we may have selected another restaurant. I was truly hoping to love Mandolin, but I don’t think we’d be quick to return.

    This was our first time here, and we had a reservation at 4p (Sunday). They sat us on the porch, which is what we wanted, but it’s like a greenhouse and we were baking like potatoes, just still, hot air. It was only about 60 outside but the sun really amplifies the heat in there. They came and cracked the big windows and it made a huge difference. They just need to be aware of that. When I went in for the bathroom, it was a 20 degree difference. Other than that, everything was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Food and drinks were amazing, but it was pricey. Be prepared to spend. Hookah was fixed perfectly and they didn’t charge for new coal. Great music, too. Overall it was a really great time, it’ll be one of our new spots.

    Food perfect like always. Service can be tricky at times as its a busy place and servers tend to be socializing among themselves alot. Be careful with Valet they would try to trick you with money like if you give them 20 bill they would instantly show that they are busy and when you ask them for change they are like do you need change tell me how much you want. They would try to keep that plus the person who brings the car needs tip too so be mindful of that. Being vigilant is the key. It has happened to me every time i have been there

    The food was ok. Nothing memorable. I didn’t realize hookah was the main dish which doesn’t bother us. We ordered a drink each and calamari for an appetizer. We ordered the lamb chops, salmon, shrimp and a bottle of their cheapest wine at $85. our waiter returned and told us they were out of the $85 bottle, so would we like the next cheapest at $120. By the way I had previously mentioned I did not want to spend $120 for a bottle of wine. He should be trained to stick within his guests budget. Not wanting to make a big deal or negotiate at the dinner table, we agreed to the $120 bottle of wine. I was really upset when we got the bill and he tipped himself 20% for a party of three. Finally, we found out as we got our car from valet that there is a $5 parking fee. The restaurant has reinvented themselves since our last visit and they clearly aren’t trying to attract the locals. For 3 drinks, a bottle of wine, one appetizer, 3 entrees our bill was $365. I left angry and frustrated.

    They charge $75 per person to be seated in patio, which isn't mentioned anywhere or even over the call they don't say it. The owner was really rude and stupid by the way he takes care of business and he do not know how to talk to customers. They need to mention if they are charging any extra for any of their services.
