The team responsible for Michelin-recognized Delbar and Ponce City Market’s Bibi Eatery, Nooshé Jān Group, has announced its latest restaurant concept, a refined supper club set to open next year in the heart of West Midtown. Eden—and its aptly named 2,300-square-foot rooftop bar Garden of Eden—will serve Mediterranean menu staples in a setting inspired by Iranian fashion in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
“[Guests can expect] craft cocktails, live DJ beats, and unparalleled city vistas at Eden, where every moment is a celebration,” says Fares Kargar, founder of Nooshé Jān Group. “Indulge in our curated selection of snacks, complementing the vibrant ambiance and social atmosphere. Beyond its allure as a nightlife hot spot, Eden is poised to become the ultimate destination for corporate gatherings and private events, promising an unforgettable experience for all who step through our doors.”
Prepared with cutting-edge French culinary techniques and high-caliber ingredients like wagyu beef and caviar, Eden’s menu will be complemented by chef’s tasting menus that “promise a culinary journey of indulgence and sophistication,” Kargar says. At night, the venue will transform to accommodate Atlanta’s buzzy nightlife scene with dancers and music from DJs and performers.
Designed by Kevin Plenge of Fathom Architecture and interior designer Archie Bolden, the 5,400-square-foot dining destination will encompass a covered patio, a 50-seat central bar, several chef’s tasting tables, two private event spaces, the Garden of Eden rooftop bar and a movie-theater style speakeasy that honors the Iranian film industry. Drawing from his upbringing in Gorgan, Iran and his formal culinary training in Turkey, Kargar aims to incorporate elements from both Iranian and Turkish culture and cuisine into Eden's design and menu offerings.
“Eden holds a special significance as it embodies a personal journey and a tribute to an era of Iran that I hold dear,” says Kargar. “I’ve painstakingly curated every aspect to reflect the essence of that era, crafting an ambiance that resonates with warmth and nostalgia. My vision for Eden extends beyond mere entertainment; it’s about creating the ultimate social space where friends, clients and guests can come together to celebrate life’s moments in style.”
The concept—set to open in Star Metals District—is part of The Allen Morris Company’s expansion of the mixed-use venue. Incoming tenants include Nike, PrizePick, Hayakawa, and Los Felix restaurants, as well as the luxury residential complex Stella.
“Star Metal’s architecture is a visual feast, situated in the prime area of West Midtown, boasting a vibrant community of young professionals and a highly central location,” Kargar says.
