Bezoria

Another first time for me… It was a little confusing at first and didn’t really clear up for me until the end. Kudos to the cashier that gave me he personal lowdown. I got the pita falafel with tomato cucumber sauce and tahini, it was the bomb! Falafel cut down he middle so all fit into pita. The fries were pretty good, I would say less seasoning next time. I will def visit back here. Only thing that wasn’t an issue tonight but that could be a huge pain in the butt is they parking, go to the back and pray lol park up front or side if you’re lucky.

This place is amazing! As a new Vegan I was excited to find this place on Caviar. I was blown away by the flavors!!! The baba ganoush (sp) was great, I ate one pita and took a nap on the other two because they are so soft and yummy. The vegan bowl was to die for the falafel was the best I ever had. Lentil soup was heavenly. If I am ever on death row please find this review and make this my place cater my last meal.

Eat, pray, go for a run, love — but not in that order. I never read the book or watched the movies but thought it would be a catchy way of starting a review.
Wifi: I forgot to check. When I go back I’ll update it.
Parking: private lot, but very limited space.
Entrée ordered :
Description of entrée :
I usually order a chicken shawarma with zesty hummus, cucumber pickles, slaw salad, «green hot sauce», and topped off with garlic tahini sauce — all wrapped in a saj wrap.
When I’m feeling vegan I don’t add the meat just extra slaw.
Oh… Make sure to ask for pickled turnips on the side, if you like pickled veggies.
Caloric intake (if provided): wasn’t listed … But it could be less than 300 calories.
Drinks ordered :
Just ordered water, but they have a lovely selection of Coke products self served through a fountain.
Service: friendly service. Employees are always cheerful. Even when you’re not feeling to happy they like to put a smile on your face (not like the Heath Ledger Joker in the Dark Knight).
You order your food — Chipotle style.
1– you choose your pita or wrap
2-​protein
3-​toppings
4-​any extra condiments, hummus, etc.
5-​pay
Interior décor: Very simple and modern feel.
Oh … I love the fact that their meat carving station is robotic! How awesome is that! Most fast casual Mediterranean restaurants carve their meats by hand. Bezoria uses a robot!
Ambiance: Very casual-​comfortable to eat, chill, or go.
Taste of food: Food is very good. I’ve never had a shawarma like Bezoria’s. I like the fact that I get to choose what goes into my food.
But overall I love the mixture of the crunch from the slaw, zestiness from the hummus, the creamy and roastiness from the garlic tahini sauce, and the combination of sourness from the pickles…
I am a big fan of Mediterranean food, but I like that Bezoria put their twist in it. Like when you taste their wraps you’ll know where it’s from.
Opinions :
Only reason Bezoria receives a 4 star from me is because of parking.

Good place for a chicken sharwama. The bread/​naan is made in the restaurant super soft and the chicken is tasty just like it supposed to be and the veggies they offer as a filling is fresh and nicely seasoned. Also tried their baklava and its was ³⁄₅ not the greatest but it was the best close by. Will go back again for other stuff to try and maybe review.

This place is absolutely amazing. Great people. Great service. Great healthy food! Highly recommend the chicken bowl with 2x meat for just a few dollars more. Rewards program gives you points toward free sides too. (Falafel are amazing too). Kudos to Bezoria team!

What a find! We decided to eat here based on the Unilocal reviews. My husband is half middle eastern so we have eaten a lot of arabic food. This place is quality! While it’s fast food casual dining, the quality of the food is not compromised. The falafel was moist on the inside and succulent while served hot. We ordered the fries (which were seasoned with sumac) with curry dipping sauce and that was just yummy. I had a chicken shawarma salad and it was extremely tasty with the garlic sauce. My husband had the chicken shawarma sandwich and he just devoured it, licking his fingers between every bite. We live in Birmingham, Alabama but next time we’re in Atlanta we’re going to eat here again. It’s really that good!

This is an excellent place for quick and delicious Mediterranean food — falafel, pitas, hummus, etc. I absolutely loved everything so far in my two visits. I will keep coming back for sure. Ask about their rewards program.

NOMZ! Im such a fan fan fan! I’ve been here twice now and think Bezoria is SUPER DELISH! What a great fast casual Mediterranean restaurant :) Similar to your fast casual/​burrito bar/​chipotle-​style restaurant, you have the option of a pita sandwich, a wrap, or a bowl. I’ve gotten the bowl both times and its fantastical! Here’s what I tried:
–Chicken shawarma is roasted on the traditional spit is moist and flavorful and very fresh
–Both hummus options are great but I prefer the traditional… the zesty (orange colored one) is exactly as it sounds, ZESTY
–Fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, pickles, pickled onions, and pickled radishes all make fantastic accouterments to your bowl, with hints of freshness and tart
–And finally, the holy grail, SAUCEEEE– you really really wanna double down on the garlic sauce and green hot sauce. They are AMAZE!!! The garlic sauce adds fantastic flavor (aka STRONG GARLIC FLAVOR) to your dish and a touch of creamy while the green sauce is super spicy and super flavorful
–And finally part 2, GET THE PITA ON THE SIDE! Their pita is probs the fluffiest pita I’ve ever had… SO GOOOOOD. Get a side of garlic sauce and hot sauce and use it as dip for your pita :)
The only real downside is the limited parking in the lot. Please visit!

As a middle eastern myself, the food here is not the best yet its not the worst! The side french fries was bland and needed more salt. The rice that comes with the chicken shawrma bowl was dry.
Overall Experience: Fair
I would rate it 6 out of 10.

First and foremost — happy 1^st birthday, Bezoria!!!
Since I work walking-​distance from Bezoria, I have been here numerous times for lunch since the restaurant opened exactly one year ago today and I can officially say that I am a fan! The easiest way to describe Bezoria is that it’s a Chipotle-​style, fast-​casual Mediterranean restaurant. Pricing is comparable to Chipotle as well, starting at $ 6.75 for a Pita Sandwich.
You start your order by choosing either their House-​made Pita, Saj Bread (Flatbread), Bowl, or Salad. Then, pick a protein (Falafel, Chicken Shawarma, Chicken Kebab, Chicken Kefta, or Steak Shawarma) or Grilled Vegetables. (Note: Steak Shawarma costs extra — an additional $ 1.) The server will ask if you want hummus and if so, either regular or zesty (spicy). Finally, you can add free toppings (Cabbage Slaw, Spiced Onions, Tomato & Cucumber Salad, and Pickles) and sauce (Tahini, Garlic, or Sahara (Hot)). You pay at the counter, and your food is ready for you once you have paid.
The following are the three combinations I have tried:
* Steak Shawarma Pita Sandwich w/​Garlic Sauce — House-​made pita with steak shawarma, zesty hummus, cabbage slaw, and garlic sauce
* Steak Shawarma Pita Sandwich w/​Tahini Sauce — Same as above plus Tomato & Cucumber Salad and tahini sauce instead of garlic
* Saj Bread with Steak Shawarma, zesty hummus, cabbage slaw, and garlic sauce
I love steak, so this is my go-​to protein. I haven’t had steak shawarma at many places, so I’m not the most knowledgeable about how the texture and flavor is «supposed» to be. However, the steak seems to be on the drier side, but it is flavorful and delicious with the hummus, various toppings, and sauces.
The pita is a great choice for a more familiar type of sandwich, but the Saj bread is also delicious! Saj bread is a wheat flatbread, and I love that it’s thin — almost translucent — yet strong enough to hold the various ingredients as a wrap. I also really enjoy the chewy texture of the Saj bread, and I highly recommend it!
Finally, as long as you are not going to a face-​to-​face meeting sometime after lunch, I cannot recommend the garlic sauce enough. It’s not the «garlic paste» that some Mediterranean places serve, but it’s a sauce with a runnier, thinner consistency. It’s super flavorful and so yummy, but it will make your breath smell for the rest of the day, so keep that in mind. If you can’t have bad breath for the rest of the day, the tahini sauce is also very good.
Personally, the main downside of Bezoria’s location is the very limited parking. I haven’t used the valet service myself, but I believe it is paid (not validated). While I understand some Unilocalers don’t think it’s fair to subtract stars from a rating for parking, I believe that it contributes to the full restaurant experience. The parking situation keeps me from swinging by for a quick bite over the weekend because I don’t want to deal with valet or looking for parking in busy Midtown.
Overall, Bezoria gets 4 stars for their tasty fast-​casual Mediterranean food options. Service is always quick and friendly, and both the pita sandwich and Saj wrap are actually very filling! Trust me, I can eat a lot — and what may *appear* to be a small sandwich or wrap ends up really filling me up on it’s own without any sides. I’m a member of the Bezoria Rewards program, so I receive texts whenever there is a special deal going on. For example, they offered a free Pita Sandwich with the purchase of a fountain drink ($ 1.95) today in celebration of their 1-​year anniversary of opening! That was super amazing! I highly recommend joining the Bezoria Rewards program, which you can do by texting «Journey» to 678.616.2300. Once again, happy 1^st birthday, Bezoria — and keep up the great work!

There’s valet parking or 10 – 15 min enforced self-​parking.
We ordered Steak and chicken shawarma with side of falafel. You are given the option to add veggies and condiments to it before it’s finished wrapping. We were hoping to see a log of meat being shaved off, but the meats had been pre-​shaved.
My bf thought the pickled onions were kind of unnecessary and the whole thing was kind of overly saucy (he was comparing to Pita Inn in Chicago). Also note that the hummus was inside the pita which is also unusual. I, on the otherhand, who isn’t familiar with Mediterranean fast food, enjoyed everything, especially the falafel! The meats were overcooked and the sauces tasted fine to me.

I LOVE this place.
I try to eat here at least once a week. It’s quick and easy like chipotle but it’s a nice change from Mexican.
Also, the rose water lemonade is a must have.

Amazing place to get your medi fix on! The shawarmas and baba ghannouj are amazing! loved it! Always order lots of things from here to go and end up eating it for the next few days! If you like Mediterranean food and or you want to try it out, this is the place to go!
My only suggestion is if they could do wheat pitas for their shawarmas that would be amazing!

Bezoria, another restaurant going for the fast-​casual, and I’ll say, they do a good job. We came in about 15 minutes before closing and they still had smiles on their faces ready to serve their delicious food. There are a few parking spots up front and many more behind the restaurant – be sure not to go anywhere else because you will get booted quickly!
The setup is the similar to chipotle: wrap/bowl,(hummus), protein, veggies, sauces
I went for the bowl:
Yellow basmati rice– is well seasoned and goes well with the food, they also give you more than enough, cooked like it is supposed to
Hummus — I went for the normal hummus, average to above average, smooth texture
Chicken shawarma — small strips of chicken that is juicy, seasoned well, good flavors
Garlic sauce — goes perfect with the rest of the dish, I’d def ask for more than the one scoop, otherwise it’ll be dry.
Pickles — normal, nothing special
Slaw — decent, went well with the rest of the dish
Pita — soft, fluffy, probably one of the best i’ve ever had, very impressed. I only wish it was still warm by the time I ate it at home.
Green sauce — deliciously spicy, spicyly delicious. I would get it on the side and add as needed/​wanted.
Red sauce — not as good as the green, similar to a sambal.
Overall, a satisfying meal.

Food here is delicious! Think better quality, Mediterranean-​style Chipotle! Most of their items are gluten free and dairy free which makes eating here a breeze for someone with a lot of dietary restrictions. I’ve eaten there twice thus far and had chicken shwarma bowl the first time and beef shwarma bowl the second time — both were great! The first time I ate there, I did not get sick from cross contamination and felt completely safe. However, my second trip didn’t feel as safe, as the guy handled my bowl, then some pitas, and then my bowl again.
It would be great if management could educate everyone about cross contamination because they used those same gloves to «guard» the spoon when putting stuff into my bowl. I hate speaking up in situations like that and really hoped for the best. However, I haven’t been well this past week and there’s a good chance it’s related.
I think I will try it again and hopefully will feel as safe as I did on my first trip there. The food is really delicious and hopefully I can continue my occasional visits.

I really love Bezoria and their take on fast-​Mediterranean food. And if any haters out there exist, I would love to throw one of Bezoria’s pillowy soft pitas at them. No, not true. I would probably just eat them myself, but I would totally hate on the haters. #hateception
*****
I. FOOD
Similar to what Taylor A wrote, Bezoria is like the Chipotle for Mediterranean food. Choose your base (pita, laffa, salad, etc), protein (shawarma, kabob, falafel), veggies (cabbage, pickles, tomatoes and cucumbers, and cabbage), and sauce (tahini, garlic, and sahara). I ordered a pita with steak, tomato, and cucumber topped with tahnini sauce.
The heavenly pita won MVP, and the meat, veggies, and sauce all balanced each other well. Explosion of flavors — it happened. Not to mention, I left completely stuffed and happy.
II. SERVICE
The staff are super nice and enthusiastic to serve. When I was about to pay, I said to the manager there, «y’all are so nice!» He replied, «we love our jobs and want to try our best to do the best» (I’m paraphrasing.) Point is, the service there rocks.
III. ATMOSPHERE/​DÉCOR
It’s like 80s industrial meets ABC Family. I’m not feeling the pop music, but it’s whatever. Lol. They have outdoor seating, too.
IV. PRICES
I think my entire meal with drink came out to $ 7 or $ 8. That’s definitely a steal, especially for the amount of food I received.
V. OVERALL
I would totally return! And I’m glad I live close, because I’m going to make this a regular spot from now on.

I love Mediterranean food and this is a great addition into my Midtown lunch rotation.
The Food:
They have a relatively small menu, which keeps things simple and fresh. You start with a base (salad, bowl, flatbread, or pita) and build from there — or — select one of the items from the pre-​established menu. The meats are rotating right behind them, spinning away, and are carved fresh. Portion sizes are quite large and the prices are great — I believe everything is under $ 10. I had leftovers from my bowl! I also like that they offer different sauces, depending on the level of coolness/​spice you’re feeling that day.
The Atmosphere:
It feels modern, clean and new! There’s also a free parking lot on site, which is rare for a restaurant on Peachtree. But I don’t know where you’d park if that was full.
The Service:
Everyone there was especially kind and friendly. It felt like it was opening week or something! And while we were waiting for some fresh meat to be cooked, we were offered some samples of things. Very nice! It was also very fast — perfect for lunch.
For a lunch place, this is exactly what I look for. I was super pleased with Bezoria and will definitely go back.

Bezoria is a fast casual Eastern Mediterranean restaurant that opened December 2014 at the corner of Peachtree and 8^th in Midtown. It replaced Lime Fresh, formerly Bakeshop, next door to Hi-​Five Diner, formerly Villains and before that, Little Azio. Needless to say, a lot of restaurants have come and gone from this tiny little shopping center over the last 3 – 4 years. Surprisingly, Noodle has managed to stick around the longest.
Shortly after the opening of Bezoria and Hi-​Five Diner (the latter in February 2015), the parking lot for these businesses is now, as far as I know, complimentary valet only. Before, you could self-​park for free.
Simply put, Bezoria is like a Mediterranean Chipotle. I like it. The food is fresh and made from scratch. You can get a relatively healthy, filling, and satisfying meal here for about $ 7 – 9. Like Moe’s and Subway, customers line up and tell servers what ingredients they want in their orders as they’re made. The completely open kitchen shows off the pita and laffa flatbread making station. The breads are made in-​house. Like other Mediterranean restaurants, there are rotating spits of meat as well as a neat, automated, on-​demand falafel deep-​frying machine.
I was told by one of the owners that the chef is of Jordanian lineage. The type of Mediterranean food served leans towards Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel.
Along with pita sandwiches and laffa (taboon, wheat) wraps, you can customize yellow basmati rice bowls and Romaine lettuce salads complete with Kalamata olives and feta cheese. Main filling and protein options include chicken (three types: off-​the-​spit shawarma, charbroiled boneless kabob, and ground, charbroiled kefta, which is mixed with spices), sirloin steak shawarma, falafel (chickpea fritters), and grilled vegetables which include eggplant, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, and squash. Toppings and other fillings consist of original hummus and «zesty» hummus, cabbage slaw (includes carrots), tomato and cucumber salad, onions, pickles, tahini sauce, garlic sauce, and «Sahara» hot sauce.
I’ve tried the pita, laffa, and rice bowl and all three are delicious. I can’t say I prefer one significantly over the other, but I do give the laffa wrap an edge. I like how delicately thin, soft, and appetizing it is. The pita bread is good too — much thicker, chewier, and nicely puffy. As for the basmati rice, it’s gratifyingly fluffy and fragrant.
The meats are A-​OK. The hearty, sliced steak shawarma seems to have the most flavor, but the chicken isn’t bad either. The chicken shawarma is satisfactorily moist, tender, and tasty. Falafel balls are dropped into the fryer from the moment they’re ordered. The falafels are on the small side and a bit mushy and oily, not firm and crispy. However, they are quite flavorful and a fine meat alternative or side item.
As far as toppings and other ingredients go, I like to ask for everything. There’s really not a bad thing on the menu as far as I’m concerned. I like the original hummus better than the zesty hummus. The tomato and cucumber salad is fresh and tangy, the cabbage slaw crisp and crunchy, and the pickles only mildly sour. The hot sauce, a red chili sauce, isn’t very spicy.
At checkout, there are sides you can add to your order. These include extra pita and falafel, fries, lentil soup, Jerusalem salad, hummus, baba ghanoush (eggplant spread), and baklava (filo dough pastry). The spreads/​dips and baklava are sold in disposable clear plastic containers with snap-​shut lids. Aside from the self-​serve Coke fountain machine, unique drink options include rosewater lemonade, berry hibiscus tea, and almond milk.
I recommend the baklava. It’s rich, sweet, and downright scrumptious. However, I do think it’s a bit overpriced at $ 3 for one small piece.
Service is excellent, friendly and speedy.
The restaurant is bright and clean with a colorful, festive interior and a casual, fun, and laid back atmosphere. The interior dining room has table seating for about 40 customers. There’s also a shared patio outside.

I ordered the Besoria Feast today, $ 9.75. It had the works in a bowl. Both types of shawarma, falafel, Chicken Ketef rice cucumber tomato, humus and sauces.
Personally I think it would look better if presented on a plate rather than all piled up in a bowl, but I realize bowls are the thing now. I prefer to see the things Im eating rather than digging them out of a pile.
I saw others eating just sandwiches and they looked good and filling and thats what I will get next time.
They had chicken on a spit going around like you would normally see gyro, lamb, etc. That isnt seen often that way. They also had a spice on it that made it rather green between the pieces. Will post picture.
You enter, order and pay, and carry your tray to your table yourself. No wait staff.
They also had bread dough rising. So they make at least some of their own breads. That is unusual as many places just buy pre made.
Yes Id go back! Give it a try.

I’ve been eyeing Bezoria ever since they announced they were opening in the plaza with then, Villains, now Hi-​Five Diner, and Noodle. Bezoria is yet another quick service/​fast casual dining restaurant focusing on Mediterranean cuisine.
Bezoria’s atmosphere resonates well with the area and the fast casual experience. The colors pop off the wall and there is constantly upbeat music in the background.
Ordering style is similar to that of Chipotle’s, Naanstop, Gusto, etc. You start with a base — pita, laffa, bowl, or salad. Then comes «meat/​protein» — falafel, steak, chicken, or chicken kefta. I believe it comes with hummus or zesty (chipotle) hummus. Finally there is a cucumber salad and a cabbage salad and some pickles. Pricing is very reasonable and similar to those of Chipotle. Roughly $ 8 for the bowl. I went with the Bezorian Feast (mostly because of the name… And I wanted to try everything) and it was still under $ 10!
Of the protein options, I liked the falafel and chicken kefta. The falafel tastes good, but doesn’t actually taste like falafel. The outside was nice and crispy, but not overly oily. The inside is soft and mushy. Honestly, I’m not sure why it tastes like but nothing like any falafel I’ve ever had. Chicken kefta is like pretty similar to a chicken burger with vegetables. I really liked the seasoning that was used and the patty texture.
So there’s the good! The not-​so good…
— The chicken was cold and dry. It didn’t have much flavor.
— The pita. This may be a personal preference but I’ve never had pita that was so thick and fluffy. Not really a fan. I like the flatter, doughy pita.
— The hummus. Again, lacking in flavor. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of the consistency. It ran a bit thin, almost liquid like. I heard the zesty hummus is pretty tasty so I will give that a try.
— The baklava. First time trying baklava so this may be another personal preference. It’s overly sweet… Like sweeter than pecan pie sweet.
The cucumber salad and cabbage slaw are pretty tasty. They are both cool to the taste, and definitely add some more crunch to whichever base option you go with.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Bezoria!
