Persians in Atlanta — Iranian Businesses & Community Directory
Welcome to the Iranian Business Center's verified directory of Persians in Atlanta. As a Persian entrepreneur who relocated here and opened a bakery in Marietta, I know firsthand both the challenge and the joy of building a business in a new community — which is exactly why this directory exists: to connect our growing Persian community across Georgia and help customers find the services, flavors, and expertise we bring to the city.
From authentic Persian restaurants to healthcare professionals and specialty grocers, every listing here is reviewed before it goes live, so you can discover trusted Persian-owned businesses across metro Atlanta with confidence.
The Persian Community in Atlanta
Atlanta is one of the South's fastest-growing centers of Iranian-American life. U.S. Census (ACS) data and the Atlanta Regional Commission place roughly 10,000 Iranians in Georgia — and nearly all of them live in metro Atlanta, bringing Persian traditions, cuisine, and professional expertise to neighborhoods across the region.
Unlike older, more centralized communities on the coasts, the Persian community in Atlanta is suburban and growth-oriented. It clusters in the northern suburbs — Cobb County (Marietta) holds the largest Iranian population in the metro, followed by Fulton County (Sandy Springs and Alpharetta) — woven into Atlanta's famously international fabric alongside the Buford Highway and Chamblee corridors.
Why Atlanta Attracts Persian Businesses
A business-friendly environment. Atlanta offers relatively affordable operating costs and an entrepreneur-friendly climate, and Persian founders have launched ventures here across technology, services, and hospitality.
A deep talent pipeline. As home to major corporate headquarters — including Coca-Cola, Delta, The Home Depot, and UPS — Atlanta is a magnet for skilled professionals. Many Persians in Atlanta arrive with backgrounds in engineering, medicine, IT, and business.
A genuinely international city. From Buford Highway to Chamblee, Atlanta's multicultural neighborhoods let Persian coffee shops, grocers, and restaurants thrive while introducing the wider city to Persian culture.
A "pay it forward" network. Persian business owners here are known for mentoring new arrivals — helping with everything from banking and licensing to growing an enterprise. Organizations like the Persian Cultural Center of Atlanta (PCC) anchor that support, hosting Nowruz celebrations, cultural events, and educational programs.
