Hovan Mediterranean Gourmet

My boyfriend and I were craving Mediterranean food yesterday. I did some Yelp and Google searching and came across a spot we have driven past several times this week. After seeing the great reviews on here, we decided to stop in and see what it was all about!Upon stepping inside, we entered a stylish yet casual room with lots of blue accents. There were 3 men behind the counter, at work. We were greeted and asked if this was our first time, and were thence given recommendations. After considering our options, our eyes glancing across the big wall with menu items, we made our decisions. We each ordered a falafel sandwich, mine with spicy sauce and his without. We decided to each pick two different sides so we could share them. We got grape leaves, lentil salad, Greek salad, and tabouleh. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! Another customer was raving to the staff about the falafel being the best in Atlanta, and I have to say not only was she right, but I'd take it a step further and say it's the best, period! I can't recall ever having a better falafel. It was perfectly crunchy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside. The sides were all delicious too. Can't wait to come back and try more!

I was really hopeful for this place since it's on my way home and I love Mediterranean food. I got the beef/lamb shawarma wrap with a side of baba ghanouj. The man behind the counter was not friendly. I actually felt unwelcome and considered leaving. I had a long day at work and had nothing at home to eat so I hoped the food would make up for it. It didn't. The baba ghanouj was good, but the pita given for it was stale. The wrap was so bland. I actually threw away half bc it just was so disappointing and didn't taste like any shawarma I've ever had. I couldn't force myself to eat it. Will def not go back!

Came by here for the first time to grab lunch. Came back for dinner the same day! That should tell you everything you need to know haha. The owner and staff were very kind, the food was great, and the prices were fair. Some of the best falafels I've ever had, and honestly everything tasted great and fresh. This is def my new favorite Mediterranean spot.

Pretty disappointing after hearing so many glowing things. The beef/lamb shawarma was okay, but what they sell as fatoosh is just a chopped salad.From the photos on the wall, it looks as if the original owners are not the current owners, and maybe the change is ownership has something to do with it?

Wonderful service by who I assume is the owner. Friendly, offered ideas and samples. Cauliflower soup was delicious. We had shawarmas, one w the chicken (w/out the pita) and the beef/lamb. All of the sides were fresh and tasty. The cauliflower salad was delicious w a light crunch. The Greek salad was just right. My chicken was a bit dry yet still tasty. Would def return here....neat place.....

So the establishment is in a strip mall, and you may miss it if you are not looking necessarily. But once you come in, it's a wide open area. On the outside they have some blue umbrellas with seating if you want to stay outdoors. They're like five or six tables so it's not a lot. But at least it's covered.If you come inside it's basically about 15 or so boots and tables for you to say that. Plenty of space. Again, it's a pretty big area. You wouldn't be able to tell if you are just looking on the outside looking in.I ordered the chicken shawarma and then I got the hummus as well. They make it right in front of you so you know it's fresh. They have a full prep bar, kind of like Chipotle, that they can put the toppings on the food to whatever you prefer. Everybody came to the front when I ordered. They were fast and friendly.

It's a nice clean place with decent Mediterranean food. It's not Rumis but it's ok for lunch and it's clean and the service is good.

The food was so good! Service wasn't that great, but the food was great! Don't judge a book by its cover lol. I ordered a lamb shawarma, chicken salad, and hummus. *the shawarma was awesome, I loved it until I was done with it. Very flavorful and loved the shredded lettuce lol. The hummus was pretty good and the chicken salad was really good. I love grapes in my chicken salad . Everything had so much taste. 8.5/10- the pita wasn't so great after 12 min of driving back.

Excellent food. All home made and fantastic homemade soups. Not your ordinary restaurant.

Best and freshest Mediterranean food!! Baba Ganoug fabulous! Shawarma is home made! All soups home made and delicious open every day except Sunday!
