    The food at the this midtown Mediterranean restaurant was delicious! We were served a complimentary appetizer of blended lentils with spices on romaine lettuce. The babaganoush appetizer was so flavorful and was so nice to spread on warm pita triangles. We were able to share the Adana kebab platter and Beyti kebab platter amongst 3 of us. Even though we were stuffed, we found room for dessert. One of the best baklava I have ever eaten. The service was impeccable with our server, Dilan. She was very attentive and provided excellent recommendations. If you're from out of town, definitely make a stop at this fine establishment for an excellent meal!

    Inside is so cute, food is good, service is attentive and nice! I love the bread, all of the dips are so good. A must if you go here. There is complimentary tea!

    The Lamb Gyro Platter, Lamb Gyro Wrap, and the Mix Meze Plate

    Cafe Agora looks completely different now. The place has been fully renovated, and it's so posh! The prices have gone up a bit, but the food is still just as delicious as I remember. Since the renovation, I've been back twice, and both visits were great. On my first visit, I ordered the Agora Mixed Grill ($28), which came with adana kebab, lamb kebab, chicken kebab, and lamb gyro, served with rice, salad, and pita. It's basically a dream plate for meat lovers. Everything was flavorful, and the meats were tender and juicy. On my second visit, I went for the Adana Kebab ($22), a grilled spicy ground lamb skewer seasoned with red bell peppers and also served with rice, salad, and pita. It was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. Overall, the new atmosphere feels upscale without losing the welcoming vibe, and the food quality remains excellent. Definitely worth revisiting if you haven't been since the remodel.

    I sat at the bar since I was alone. AJ was a great server and bartender. The food was great and perfectly cooked. Just enough char and seasoning. Most of their seating is upstairs so be aware. One nice thing is that they have free parking across the street. Ambiance is nice but casual.

    Tastefully decorated interior with matching plate designs. They gave us a complimentary lentil kofte to start which was very light and refreshing with the lettuce wrap. The babaghanoush was smoky and paired well with the warm pita. Entrees came out shortly after. My beef kebab was super tender, and the orzo had a tasty tomato flavor. My boyfriend's mixed plate had a lamb chop, lamb kebab, chicken kebab, and Adana kebab (spicy ground lamb). The best was the lamb chop, which was pretty high quality and tender. The baklava was a delicious end to the meal, with buttery layers of dough and satisfying pistachio flavor. The ice cream was a good accompaniment. Service was excellent, super friendly and attentive. We did have to box up our leftovers though, while some other places with a similar price point tend to box them up for you. All in all, very impressed with the food here and would recommend!

    Mezze platter
    Hussain L.

    Wow, what a great experience! Terron was a fantastic server - he treated us like family, and was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and respectful. The mezze platter is a great appetizer for the table - highly recommend so you can try all the dips - my favorite was the eggplant salad. The asude chicken was a bit too charred for my taste. The baklava dessert with vanilla ice cream was excellent, simple and tasty! Appreciated the ambiance, intimate, and comfortable.

    I can't believe I haven't been here yet Hands down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had in Atlanta. And it's down the street from me. Perfect. More Baklava please!! that was the absolute best ever! Make sure to order it. Michelle was super awesome and took care of me quickly. Answering all the right questions. She's awesome. The outdoor sitting was cool with the overhead art piece.

    Came for my sisters birthday and it was great from start to end. We ordered the babaghanoush, Greek potatoes, and spanakopita; let's just say they did not disappoint. We actually missed an order and when we advised they brought it out on the house no question. Our server was sure to explain everything well and give recommendations. For entrees we ordered the falafel, chicken kebob, branzino, and angora mixed grill they all had rice and a salad. All entrees were a nice portion and seasoned very well. We sat upstairs it's a smaller venue with mild lighting but a nice vibe for a dinner date or small party function. I will definitely be returning!

    Salmon Plate
    Tiyenne G.

    First time dining here but it's a favorite of my colleagues. I went with the Salmon plate for lunch and it was delicious. Salmon was fresh and well cooked, as well as everything else on the plate. Service was quick, especially for the lunch hour. I loved the vibe of the place, as it made me feel welcomed and it was perfect for our group. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    An incredibly decorated and cute restaurant. It has seating outdoors, at the bar, and upstairs. We came for lunch on a weekday. It wasn't super crowded and the service was quick! Our waiter gave us great recommendations and we shared a mixed platter. The salmon was well cooked and the gyro was tasty! Would recommend!

    Lamb chop
    Natalie K.

    What a cute spot! We came on a Monday night and were surprised at how busy the place was. We were sat upstairs right away. Unfortunately, there were a few large parties and the server was very nervous about a delay in our dinner but we did not think it was much of an issue. The food was very tasty. I really enjoyed the babaganoush and the cream sauce on my salmon. I was shocked at how large the salmon portion was. I would come back!

    Cutest pillar of bowls decorate the pillar at the bar.  Great place!!

    Stopped in for a light dinner. Ended up just having a large appetizer sampler and a cocktail. Sat at the bar and was treated well by the bartender. Drink came quickly and when the food arrived she gave me a tour of the plate and took good care of me throughout my stay. The food was plentiful and tasty. I am looking forward to my next visit.

It smelled like was it cooked in coconut oil. I would say 7 out of 10 overall. The lamb neck was recommended by the waiter. It was really good, slow cooked and the meat was tender. The sauce was unremarkable. The waiter gave us a house made spicy sauce and made this dish significantly better. I would say 9/10 overall. The hummus with the pickled mushroom was amazing. It was topped off with truffle oil and I just couldn't keep my hands off of it. I would say 10/10. I just want to point out the bill had a notice that says "tips are based on check prices after taxes" was confusing and unsure why would company charge tips on top of taxes. Our waiter was amazing so we didn't mind paying the extra but it really made us wonder about the company policy.

My girlfriend has a very strict diet due to food sensitivities, so before ordering she specifically asked about the dough, bread, and flours used in the food. Unfortunately, instead of receiving details about the ingredients, she was simply told that she could eat it. Based on that information, she ordered the meal, but later had a reaction to the dough that was used. This was frustrating because the situation likely could have been avoided if we had been given accurate information about the ingredients from the beginning. We completely understand that not every restaurant can accommodate every dietary restriction, but being transparent about what is used in the food allows customers to make informed decisions for themselves. The food itself was good, which is why we're giving 3 stars, but the service on this particular issue left us disappointed. We hope the restaurant can do a better job of providing ingredient information when customers ask, especially for those with dietary restrictions or sensitivities.

From the moment I walked in, Kameel made me feel welcome. His energy is contagious, and he genuinely engages with every customer, making everyone feel like family rather than just another order. That level of hospitality is hard to find and really sets this place apart. I ordered their best-selling Chicken Shawarma Wrap, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The halal, hormone-free chicken breast was perfectly seasoned with Turkish spices, grilled with sweet white onions, and wrapped with creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, fresh cabbage salad, tabouli, and tahini in their homemade wrap. Every bite was packed with fresh, vibrant flavors, and the portion was surprisingly generous. For dessert, I couldn't resist the Pistachio Baklava, and I'm glad I didn't. The flaky filo layers were filled with pistachios and lightly sweetened with organic maple syrup instead of refined sugar. Combined with 100% olive oil and a hint of rose water, it was rich without being overly sweet and made for the perfect ending to the meal. What I also appreciate is Aviva's commitment to quality and healthy eating. They cook exclusively with 100% extra virgin olive oil, use halal, hormone- and antibiotic-free meats, fresh local produce, and avoid processed ingredients. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options while taking care to prevent cross-contamination, making it an inclusive place for people with different dietary needs. The restaurant itself is clean, organized, and inviting. While the prices are a little higher than some food court options, the quality of the ingredients, generous portions, outstanding service, and incredible flavors make it well worth every dollar. If you're in Downtown Atlanta and craving Mediterranean cuisine, Aviva by Kameel is definitely worth a visit. Great food, generous portions, warm hospitality, and a dining experience that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended!
