    It's very pretty inside. The staff was nice, they make their dessert fresh daily, and they were out of dessert today. I came for dessert and my friends came for the bar, but I don't drink. The ambience is so pretty, but because there was no dessert I can't rate the food.

    This didn't really hit the mark... the food wasn't bad but honestly nothing that I would be craving to go back. We came on a weekend night and it was kinda dead. The drinks were horrible, for them having a limited menu of cocktails we thought the ones listed would be great but they were quite the opposite. The service was ehhh... again, nothing absolutely horrible (other than the drinks) but we were excited to try this place out & that excitement faded fairly quickly.

    Azara is a new physician-owned restaurant on the beltline that aims to combine more wholesome, healthy eating with a nice atmosphere. There were a lot of pros and cons so it's easier to break it down by category: Food: 5/10 Drinks: 8/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 The food is some mix of Spanish and Mediterranean-style tapas. We tried 10 items on the menu and the only thing we really loved was the pollo ancho, although it was inconsistent. We ordered a second pollo ancho and it had so much less flavor compared to the first. Overall, the food severely lacked seasoning which was disappointing. Some things tasted overcooked, like the salmon cakes and cauliflower steak, on top of needing more flavor. The Earth Rolls, Goat Cheese Puffs, and Saffron Pilaf were decent. The Mac and cheese lacked flavor, cheese, and any sort of salt. I would not recommend. The pollo enyucado is pretty much an empanada but it needs more filling inside. It was mostly just the dough part. Overall, I would not come back here to eat. You're paying premium prices for food that lacks flavor and isn't very filling. However, the atmosphere is great. It's very modern and has a classy vibe to it. In addition to the main dining area, they have an enclosed rooftop with a bar that is really nice. I would come back for drinks. I warn that the margarita is very sweet, though. We did not try other cocktails. We instead had wine and beers, but it was disappointing that for a brand new place, they were actually out of a bunch of the beers and wines on the menu.

    I really wanted to love this restaurant because I loved the wellness concept and making healthier foods at a nice restaurant, but I was left unsatisfied overall. My friends and I tried this place out and decided to order a round of tapas and drinks to start for the table. Our two servers were really sweet even when informing us that they did not have some of the beer and wine we ordered on hand--I didn't think too much of it since they've only been open for 6 weeks. For the tapas, we ordered the earth rolls, goat cheese puffs, salmon cakes, sweet corn ribs, mac & cheese, pollo enyucado, and the chimichurri cauliflower. We honestly were pretty disappointed in most of these items save for the earth rolls and goat cheese puffs mainly due to the lack of seasoning. The salmon cakes were severely under seasoned--it seemed like the chef heavily relied on the lemon juice and failed to focus on seasoning the salmon itself since it was bland, the sweet corn ribs didn't have much depth to it at all save for intense heat, the mac and cheese was really bland and seemed to not have much bechamel sauce since it wasn't creamy at all, the pollo enyucado seemed to barely have any chicken in it and was under seasoned, and the chimichurri cauliflower was really wet and under seasoned--it seems that they probably didn't allow it to dry enough before grilling it or the overcrowded it, which can steam it instead. The earth rolls and goat cheese puffs were beautifully made at least. We ended up ordering the pollo ancho and saffron pilaf as well since we were still pretty hungry. Thankfully, these two items pretty much saved the night! The pollo ancho was really well cooked and juicy, and it was packed full of flavor. Admittedly, I've had better saffron pilaf before when it comes to the overall flavor, but I still appreciated it along with the little extras like the dried apricots. Our group loved the pollo ancho dish so much that we ordered a second one. The flavor on the second one dimmed a little bit and was slightly overcooked on some parts, but we still enjoyed it. I probably would've rated this place lower if it weren't for the pollo ancho, the sweet servers, and how the owner stopped by each table to introduce himself and inform us all about his story and his vision for the restaurant. I'm not sure if this was just an off night or if they are just working out the kinks, but I definitely believe they should make some changes in how the chef prepares and seasons the food before I could consider returning.

    Tried this place on their grand opening night. I enjoyed the complimentary cava and the dip trio. I wasnt a huge fan of the other items I ordered (macaroni & Cheese and Salmon cakes). They lacked flavor. I might come back and try other items or go to the rooftop (it was closed for a private event).

    So it's my birthday weekend and I decided to have an engagement at Azara. I reached out online a week ago to make a reservation. No one ever got back to me. I called on Wednesday to make a reservation and was able to make one for a party of 10 on the rooftop. I got a call on Friday around 5 PM confirming my reservation for 8 PM. I get to the restaurant and I'm told that there is no reservation for me but they figure out how to make it happen anyway. I'm instructed to walk up the stairs and meet the hostess at the top of the stairs I get there. She takes us to what is supposed to be our table and she has us wait in the middle of the floor between the seats and the bar to find a table for us. She comes back, takes us to our table and it's dirty. There are glasses that are there that have been used from cocktails. We sit we have a server that comes in greet us about 10 minutes after us sitting and he tells us that he will get water I asked for no ice. He brings back five glasses of water to which only one has ice. I'm a little confused at this point. It takes about 20 minutes for us to get a menu. We had to ask our Server for the menu because he was nowhere to be found. We get the menus we wait about another 15 minutes before we can order cocktails and I noticed that our Server is attentive to everyone's table but ours he seemed a little overwhelmed. We order our cocktails they come we then about 10 minutes later order our food and it comes to us by a runner. Our waiter never came back to see how the food was he finally comes and asked if we want anything else at this point I'm so disappointed in the service from the time I walked through the door to the time I leave. I had a friend that had to leave because her parking had run out and we can't find our server once again. I have to literally get up go to the bar. Ask someone if they can find our server about 10 minutes later he finally comes. My friend ended up with a ticket because she went over the time that she was supposed to be in her parking space. The food was amazing. I was happy to have some options that were vegetarian/vegan because I am a vegan, but I'm a little taken back by the horrible service that I had. I forgot to mention that I am a professional chef and good service is so important to me, especially when I'm in an establishment that is absolutely gorgeous. Has beautiful views from the rooftop and it's packed with people. Don't know that I'll be back because the ambience, good views, and good food just isn't enough that is not the full package.

The review deserves to be one star, but due to the facility, server, and food is five stars, we had to rate it higher. The cooking team and manager failed miserably. So overall it's three stars max, until they can get their act together. Hoping to see improvement as we really like this restaurant and food... Sincerely

The spices in the rice were overpowering and my partner didn't enjoy it as much. The potatoes were extra crunchy and a bit burnt... unsure if it was overdone or on purpose. 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!

We understand that accidents happen and that items can be misplaced, but the fact that the bracelet was clearly with her when we arrived and disappeared while she remained seated at the table is very concerning. We truly enjoyed the food and the service, which makes this situation even more disappointing. We sincerely hope the restaurant will take another look into the matter and speak with the staff who were working that evening.
