Aviva by Kameel Midtown

After a long night of studying, I tried Aviva for the first time. I was immediately greeted by the head chef Kameel, who welcomed me with a smile and offered a complementary cup of delicious hot, hearty Vegetable chowder. Per his recommendation, I ordered a plate of chicken shawarma, cabbage salad with hummus, and eggplant ratatouille over rice. It totaled around $15 with tax and tip. Portions were very generous.Chef Kameel's shawarma was perfectly seasoned; the chicken was never dry or overcooked, and the caramelized onions offered a perfect compliment to the savory chicken. The cabbage salad and hummus were very refreshing and delicious! By far the best was the Eggplant Ratatouille: it was savory, hearty, slightly smoky, and seasoned exceptionally. Chef Kameel's service and cooking are absolutely outstanding, and are absolutely worth a visit!

I love this restaurant so much. You have to try the soup. It's so delicious creamy and it's consistent, every time I have the soup it tastes the same and I love coming to get a cup when I'm in the area. Looking forward to trying other menu items at this restaurant, recommend the soup!

This is a food court style restaurant. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma, Grilled Veggies, and sweet potatoes and a side of hummus. This is a healthy place to stop in on a busy day for lunch or dinner. The food was flavorful and light. The person who served me was wonderful and enthusiastic. She let me taste some of the food which was super helpful in ultimately making my choice. If I was in the area and needed something quick and healthy, I'd eat here again.

Really fresh ingredients prepared with care and nutrition in mind. I got the rosemary chicken and are you kidding me? Looks so incredibly well seasoned. I got the platter: the chicken was seriously so tender I ate with a fork and my hand lol the falafel was crispy and flavorful. Love all the sauces, esp the tahini because you can taste the quality. Not like the watery ones from other places. My server (a young African American fellow) was so patient and friendly. I can't wait to come back.

This is a great restaurant with extremely fresh ingredients and also made to order options. The location in the peachtree center is very popular and always has a line so I recently went to check it out. The food was great! I ordered the rosemary chicken with potatoes and vegetables for $16. The portions are pretty big so I was able to have it for lunch and dinner. Everything was seasoned perfectly and I had very positive interactions with the owner and the staff.

You would think it's impossible for a restaurant to have a 5 star rating with the number of reviews it has but seriously, the hype is real. So when Aviva by Kameel opened at the CODA, I had to check it out. Kameel unfortunately was not there but he had a good substitute filling in - not sure what his name was but he was super friendly and nice and treated me like I was a regular. I decided to go basic and ordered the chicken shawarma with a side of grilled veggies and falafel but it was anything but basic. It was super tasty and who knew they could make "food court" food look so good! Will definitely be back again soon!

There just isn't enough good things to say about this place.The food is amazing! It's hard to decide, it's all so good! We got the rosemary chicken, roasted potatoes, creamed spinach. Not in the photo: focaccia bread and a falafel for $16. We were both stuffed after this single portion. (I already started eating before I took the photo) Kameel walked by and gave us complimentary baklava as well. Last time it was fresh baked cookies! They're the kindest owners and employees! It was packed and as soon as someone got up, someone was there to clean the tables!

The hummus was bad. Someone needs to be checking quality, my wife had a bad experience eating it.

Delicious Mediterranean food with great options. The falafel wasn't ready so they even gave us free soup! Ambiance at CODA is great too!

I live in Kentucky but every time I go to Atlanta I make sure I stop by Kamal's. They have the best falafels and the owner makes you feel like part of the family.
