What to know about Politan Row at Ashford Lane food hall, set to open next week

Dunwoody hall will be home to nine food stalls, full-service Cuban restaurant and two cocktail bars.

ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION — Politan Row at Ashford Lane food hall is set to make its debut in Dunwoody next week.

Located at 4500 Olde Perimeter Way in the Ashford Lane retail development, the 17,000-square-foot food hall will open at 5 p.m. Feb. 2., with a slate of cuisines from around the world.

The project comes from Politan Group, the company behind the Politan Row at Colony Square food hall in Midtown and a forthcoming food hall at Forum Peachtree Corners.

Politan Group CEO Will Donaldson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an interview in August 2023 that the company targeted local vendors who are seeking to expand and grow their brands. Seven of the eateries are women-owned, and 100% of the food businesses are owned by women, people of color, or both.

Like the food hall at Colony Square, the Ashford Lane food hall will have a central bar called Bar Politan as well as a themed cocktail lounge. The latter, called Okay Anny’s, is a sequel to the ‘70s-themed hidden Colony Square bar Jojo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge and will be overseen by Jojo’s co-creator and Politan’s director of operations Benton Bourgeois.
