    Walked in for my very first experience at this establishment and wow. This sign was on the door and it should have said closed. They only had lamb as the protein, no chicken, no steak, or anything else. lol and I sat in line for a second and then they told us when we got up front. Such a shame because this location is in a very nice and up and coming area.

    We placed the order for our daughter on September 14 after 8 PM. She wanted to try the restaurant because a lot of other people have spoke highly about it and wanted to give it a try. The food is very pricey to say the least, but we were very disappointed on how her food was delivered. It was not in the yellow cava bag. It was packaged like a regular sandwich, which was not secure or sealed, and her drink was not sealed properly for delivery we were highly upset because anything could happen to her order and it was just delivered like that not in the correct packaging in our bag and no orders should've went out like that especially for delivery all the correct packaging and bags should be available upon ordering. Overall, the food was decent and not worth the price. We may try a different location to order it in person before delivery. We will not be ordering again at this location.

    Spicy lamb boil
    Shelby C.

    First time trying Cava, I had the spicy lamb and Avacado bowl. Added some razzle dazzle extras but I was disappointed that the lam meatballs were undercooked. Pink on the inside. I went to address it with the Manager and asked if I could have the grilled chicken instead. They conveniently agreed to give me chicken and the Manager explained to me that Cavas standard for preparing the lamb meatballs is that it is pink in the center. That's news to me...why is this not on the menu?? Is raw meat now the new standard. But whateverzzzz. Sit down to enjoy the chicken and it's go hair on it. *sigh. The place needs better management and system but also to address cleanliness. Overall the people were nice. Definitely Halal which is nice. Would maybe not revisit this location but would definitely eat at Cava again in the near future.

    Spicy lamb balls + avacado bowl.

    Well after the game. I said hmm there's a Cava. I been hearing all this hype about them. So walked over and gave them a try. I settled on a spicy lamb + avacado bowl. Now with a drink it was just over $20. Dont get me wrong. For what i had it was very good. But I think $20 for what it was ,was a bit much. Im also not a enviromentalist,but i also seen what i see as waste. Weather its for there or to go,they put it in a paper bag. Seems to me they could do better by not trying to shove everything in a bag especially, if your gonna eat it there. The inside was modern and clean.

    The food is sooooo good! I love that I can build my bowl exactly how I want it. I will say the parking is a little tricky and it took a little bit before I could order because it was packed. But other than that it's great!

    Lamb & avocado bowl w/brown rice

    For $18 NOTHING should be burnt! I ordered a lamb & avocado bowl online for pick up. I went over to what I thought looked like the pick up area because it wasn't labeled. A young lady came from the back to help as the cashier was helping folks check out. She asked my name and handed me a bag, I said thanks and left, checking the name as I walked out. There was no silverware as requested but the pita bread was included. It was pretty busy in there at 330 on a Monday. My bowl was sub par because all my lamb was burnt! (See photo)

    Charging me an extra 5 bucks

    I ALWAYS get the sameeeeee thing which is 13 bucks they charged me for veggies and harissa TWICE ._. When i get a simple order They scimped on the food too One lil spoon of whatever protein and barely rice I recommend for the atmosphere and where the location is but be prepared to pay for extra just cause bs Do better

    Very disappointing first experience. The taste of my food was great, but the preparation almost made me walk out. Watching the server aggressively throw the items in the bowl without care is concerning. Everyone behind the counter was upset- no greetings, very little eye contact - I felt like I was on a lunch line with the mean lunch ladies. The juice dispenser was empty on most except the basic sweet tea. I will not be back until I see improved reviews. After standing on an extremely long and slow line, I will not pay to be abused.

    It's a Mediterranean version of chipotle They are owned by them the food was tasty had the spicy lamb meatballs/ pita bread tons of pickled onions Service basic go thru a line the cucumber mint very good It's small by Georgia state so seating is limited at times good but not worth 40 bucks ouch

    Hello~ I have dined here a few times- The food is delicious, healthy and moderately "fast". There is usually a line, just be prepared to wait. If you can't wait- place a to go order, they seem pretty good at making those on time. The braised lamb is my favorite protein by far and those pita chips are so great when they are fresh. As for the service- cashier, Courtney was nice, and the other employees seemed a little focused on the food line so thanks for a delicious lunch Cava !

Let me just tell you, that this recommendation did NOT disappoint. The moment I dipped my pita into the lamb hummus I already knew this was about to be one of my favorite meals and boy was I correct. From the lamb hummus, to the grilled veggies, the chicken kebob to the rack of lambs- everything was truly delectable!!!! Ofc we couldn't skip on dessert.

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.

The lamb was overcooked and look like someone had eaten part of it before it made it to the table. We've been to several mediterranean restaurants but won't come back to this one. Don't believe the TikTok hype!

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.

There's a…read morecouple of other spots there but I've actually only been to a few of them and this is one of my favorites . You know where this is so you know that you're gonna have to worry about paying for parking because look at the area that you're in. Just keep that in mind but there are plenty of parking structures around . The service was great. The two women that were working the front were excellent and they helped me along trying to make my decision. They were super nice and friendly and definitely worth speaking to because of their friendly demeanor . Everything I've had here has been great, absolutely amazing. I'm really hard on Mediterranean food only because where I grew up it was easy to find Mediterranean food because so many people from that side of the world put roots there. Finding some good chicken shawarma was easy. I haven't actually found a lot of that around the Atlanta area but there are a few good ones. This one is solid and did not miss. I loved it and I would definitely go back. Chicken shawarma (platter) - so the platter comes with two sides and an entrée. Everything was good. The chicken shawarma was very good and flavorful and it was super tender and I love that because it wasn't like it was sitting there all day. It was something I would definitely go back for. I may even get a wrap next time but the actual platter served me really well and it was great. roasted potatoes - my first side was potatoes and it's hard to mess up roasted potatoes. You just season it and stick it in the oven I guess but either way they were very moist and you got plenty of them. They were seasoned very well Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were pretty good. I mean I have nothing to complain about. They were vegetables and they were seasoned as well so nothing wrong with that but they were just vegetables. It's not like it was a main course kind of situation but for a side they were a really good side choice . Creamy chicken soup - now let me get to the star of the show. This soup is amazing to me. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it has something in it but it is amazing. I could actually get a big bowl of it and call it a day. The soup is creamy and savory and has bits of the chicken in there so it's also seasoned very well. I don't know what it is about this soup but this soup is gold to me. In any event yes I liked everything I got, yes I would go back, yes the soup is amazing, all the things LOL. They have a rosemary chicken that is supposed to be the best seller but I didn't come for that. I would definitely try that next time. I was very satisfied with what I got!

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!

Unfortunately, we did have a very disappointing experience regarding my daughter's Louis Vuitton bracelet. When we arrived, she was wearing the bracelet, and we later looked back at the photos we took that evening. The photos clearly show that she had the bracelet on her arm when we were seated. She never left the table or changed seats, yet in photos taken later, the bracelet was no longer on her wrist. Because it was late at night and the restaurant was closing, we believe the bracelet may have been lost at the table while we were dining. We contacted the restaurant afterward, but unfortunately, we were told that no one had found it. This was extremely disappointing, especially because when you dine at a reputable restaurant, you expect that if a valuable personal item is found, the staff or another guest will make every effort to return it to its owner. 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.
