    Delicious food and absolutely outstanding service! Seriously, I can't remember receiving such an excellent service - attentive, precise, efficient. We had water refilled immediately, and without asking, two attentive waiters worked as a team, so we were always taken care of if we needed a wine refill or anything else. It was Michelin star level food and service. Great appetizers with lebaneh. Crabcake was also superb. For the main course, we had seabass and filet mignon and loved both. Very good cocktails. I would only add some interior decorations - that's the only thing I can think of that could be improved. We'll definitely come back to this restaurant.

    Tala House is our favorite restaurant in Andersonville. The food is imaginative, yet very consistent in its quality and favors. The atmosphere is fun and eclectic. The owner, Taleb, is friendly and approachable. He takes time to speak with guests explaining the different recipes and their origins. An added plus is the fantastic bar and cocktail choices. We can’t wait until the weather gets better to sit on the beautiful patio.

    Each time we return, Tala House keeps getting better. Inventive dishes coming out of the kitchen push the bar higher. Standout starters at our table were the charmoula shrimp and the crab cake. Unexpected flavor combinations work well in the Chilean sea bass and risotto crusted halibut. In a class of its own, Tala House clearly elevates the Andersonville dining scene.
