Best Authentic Restaurants in Doraville

The Alden has an intimate setting which is perfect for a special night out or a culinary adventure. I was celebrating my best friend’s birthday and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making the entire experience feel personal and welcoming. I’m no food critic, but I can recognize fresh, high-quality ingredients, and Chef Jared and his team delivered that in every dish—10/10. Sitting at the counter was the highlight; it’s the best seat in the house. You get to watch the chefs in action, adding a layer of entertainment to the evening. Each course was perfectly timed, creating a seamless dining experience. The combinations of ingredients and pairings were nothing short of fantastic. Some dishes featured bold and unexpected flavors that worked together beautifully. The quail and scallops were my favorites—flawlessly executed and deeply satisfying. I also appreciated the global influences woven into the menu, which made each dish feel like a small journey. And let’s not overlook the fact that Chef Jared is as talented as he is handsome—a fun bonus to an already unforgettable meal. They gave us a birthday treat to top it all off. I can’t wait to go back to experience other dishes.

Wonderful food and ambience. Owned by a local Dunwoody resident. Highly recommend!!!

Our server, Joseph, was wonderful and attentive without hovering. He is personable and answered what questions we had about the menu. The food was delicious and portions were more than sufficient.

Great experience at North Italia restaurant. Had a birthday brunch for my girlfriends and the food was amazing, lots of gluten-free options and the chef was very meticulous about our food allergies to nuts. I gave this place a five star and yes, I am coming back. The pasta was amazing !! 

We got off the Marta at the Chamblee exit and walked a few blocks to have some great food & fun! So worth it! Mathias and his ugly Christmas sweater were fabulous.
