We were treated with such southern hospitality at the restaurant. This is a family restaurant and you can tell how much they care about the quality of their ingredients. The owner shared some little extras with us and had a lot of pride about how he didn’t use any seed oil and sourced organic. First time coming to Atlanta and would definitely come back! The Salmon and Lamb were amazing. The baklava was an amazing dessert. Super flaky and just the right amount of sweetness.

Aviva by Kameel is an unforgettable experience in Atlanta. This is by far one of the best customer services I have received thus far. The chef came out to meet and thank everyone personally, and has such an incredible presence. He loves what he does and you can tell! The staff is also super nice and helpful. We got Salmon which they make fresh when ordered and Slow cooked Lamb tops with lemon garlic sauce. Both were absolutely delicious. Out side dishes were rice, cabbage, and tabouleh salad. All so refreshing and fresh. They give you hummus and pita upon arriving which was also delicious. After you are done with the meal, you are given watermelon slices to cleanse your palate. The chef brought us some baklava to try which is fully vegan. They do not use any seed oils here. They also carry many local drinks along with wines and beers. We ended up trying a peach soda made in GA which was absolutely delightful. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. Appealing to the eyes and in a complex with plenty of things to do. Plenty of parking and they have a small but clear menu. I will 100% go here again and tell everyone about it!

If I could give this 10 stars, I would! The moment we walked we were greeted like family and given samples of food. The food we did order was VERY plentiful and so delicious. I got the rosemary chicken, which might be one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. I cannot emphasize how amazing the service was - truly out of this world (and the food was too!!!!) GO HERE!

Food here is amazing and fresh! I ordered the rosemary chicken plate with a side of veggies and roasted potato. My food wasn’t ready when I arrived, so I was offered a cup of soup while I waited. I didn’t take the soup, but will try it next time! Everything my order was good, but my favorite was the potatoes and the garlic sauce that they give you with your order. Definitely a great value for $20. I will be back.

Aviva is an absolute gem! Without a doubt, it’s the best Mediterranean restaurant I’ve dined at. From the very first moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and kindness by the amazing Chef Kameel and his wonderful team. Their passion for food and hospitality shines through in everything they do. I ordered the rosemary chicken plate with cabbage salad and lentils, and let me tell you – it was beyond delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and you can truly taste the love and care put into each dish. This was my first time at Aviva, and I’m so incredibly happy I chose to give it a try, I’ll definitely be back again soon. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go—you won’t regret it! 100 out of 10, it truly exceeds every expectation.

Aviva by Kameel lives up to the hype. Kameel greeted us as soon as we walked in and immediately offered us complementary soup and baklava for our first time. All of the food was great; the falafel, hummus, veggies, rosemary chicken, alfredo, and baklava were particularly excellent. They then gave everyone free bread which ended up being the best bread my husband and I have ever had. I would literally come back just for the bread. Extra bonus that it’s healthy ingredients and olive oil only (no seed oils). Will definitely be coming back. Great work Kameel.

Love! Love! Love! One of my friends suggested this place. My husband and I went to have dinner on our first wedding anniversary. We didn't want anything fancy but very tasty food. The moment we entered the room, we were greeted by Chef kameel, he handed us herbs pita and lentil soup for freeand then took our order. The food was yum!! They also offered watermelon. And finally, when the chef was greetings everyone by coming to each table, I told him that today is our wedding anniversary and he quickly went inside and brought baklava. We were so happy and surprised to see him surprising us with baklava. He made our anniversary soooo sooo special❤️ thank you so much chef 😊 We will definitely visit this place again and will definitely recommend others to try.

Words can’t describe the incredible hospitality the owner of this place offers. His staff are equally as kind and generous. They offered us soup and bread while waiting in line. The owner Kameel (pictured) greets every customer and tells all of them how much he loves them. He hugged us as well! I have never felt so welcomed by a restaurant before. Now, for the food. The rosemary chicken is simply amazing, 10/10. The hummus, falafel, shawarma, baklava, and simply everything else is perfect. This is the place to go for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything else. You can’t miss this place. Go if you’re near!! Kameel gave us free falafel, free baklava, and free bread to give to my family. The baklava is made with olive oil and maple syrup, and no sugar! Very very tasty. I left the restaurant happier than when I entered. It seriously screams positivity and joy.

I got to try Aviva today and it was awesome. All of us had the same thing- Salmon (not pictured because we dug right in and I just kept going until it was all gone), fresh veggies, and rice. I asked if they could do a half-and-half situation and give me half the rice. The young lady serving me offered to go halfsies on another side and I was like- awesome, yes! So, I also had the creamy spinach. Mom and our friend both had the two soups: the vegan vegetable and the creamy chicken soup. I just had the creamy chicken soup. Our friend also took advantage of the complimentary watermelon since we arrived a tad late. When I say the soup was top-notch... I can only tell you about my experience, but it packed in SO much flavor and it was hearty too! I liked the soup SO MUCH, I actually went back and ordered a large bowl ($11) to go. It's my lunch for tomorrow. The chicken and other ingredients made it hearty, the soup was creamy and rich, and by the time I got down to the bottom of my bowl, I was scraping my spoon into the crevices trying to eek out every last drop. DELICIOUS. The salmon was perfectly crunchy on the skin-side, yet the inside was still nice and juicy. The top was a little dry, but that was just the outside top...it don't affect the flavor or the mouthfeel. I wish I'd had a little salt to accent the salmon, but they didn't have any on any of the counters. The flavor was still on-point though, so no worries there. The veggies were well-cooked, but still perfectly crisp, and complimented the salmon well. The creamy spinach really went well with the rice and added a ton of depth of flavor. Many times, when I get creamy spinach (-anything) it has this weird sour flavor that I just don't like. Here? Nope- perfectly creamy. Perfectly spinachy. Very good! Finally, they had some artisan sodas- a root beer and a peach soda. I ordered the peach soda on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The only have like 5 ingredients: bicarbonate soda water, pure cane sugar, peaches (!), and citric acid and something sodium ("for freshness"). The fewer the ingredients, the more natural the product- but often, it's not a better product. I've NEVER had such a perfectly delicious peach soda in my life. It was so good! I even went back up to the counter and ordered 2 more (one each for my friend and my mom). They loved them too! This place is clean, looks nice, has various forms of seating (benches, chairs, cushioned stools), has indoor and outdoor dining areas, and they're whole motto is "healthy eating", so they're ingredients and offerings, all the way down to their sodas are as natural as they come. This place gets a full 5 stars from me! I'll definitely be back- and that's despite the price, which IS a little high: $100 before tip for 3 meals and 3 drinks. If you want a delicious meal and don't mind paying a little extra for the all-natural stuff, this place is for you. I promise: you won't be disappointed!

Amazing food and pretty big portions. I do think it feels like an amazing home cooked meal. The staff and owner are super friendly and will come check on you even though it's a fast casual type of place. Enjoyed their falafel and chicken and will be back!

Aviva is a magical place, the proprietor is a charismatic and joyous purveyor of delicious food. Tucked away in the Peachtree Center shopping center, this has always been my "go-to" spot for lunch. There is not a single item on the menu that isn't delicious - I've never once been disappointed. Service is quick (serving counter based) and everyone is quite friendly. Ambience is casual and light, the location is well lit and pleasant.

How do you not love this place? The fact that they're opening up their third location in Atlanta...which much anticipated fanfare...speaks to the degree to which Kameel has cultivated and perfected his brand....and deservedly so. "Aviva" is a palindrome. It has various meanings (springtime, rebirth, etc.), but more importantly, it is meant to convey "freshness and family" via quality Mediterranean cuisine. The ambiance is constructed with just enough lime green "pop" to show you how seriously they embrace this theme. Upon entry, there is even a sign indicating that no seed oils are used in their cooking, reflecting a salubrious zeitgeist within contemporary gastronomy. I can't emphasize enough how friendly and welcoming the staff is. They are eager to please and eager to exhibit their excellence. The food is, indeed, excellent. We had the falafel, the vegan soup, mujadara, hummus, and cabbage salad. It was more filling than it looked, and we plan to return to try other components of their menu. We also look forward to the baklava. There are several great spots in the newly renovated Buckhead Landing, but this is likely my favorite.

Such an excellent casual place for dinner with flavorful, healthy options. I had the chicken shawarma salad, and it was loaded with fresh veggies and all kinds of toppings - tabbouleh, hummus, and more. My husband got the rosemary chicken plate and it was salty but so good. The pita bread they served fresh out of the oven was divine. Excellent service.

Everything is so delicious and fresh. Nicest staff (including the owner who always says hello to everyone). The rosemary chicken is phenomenal.... The flavors are on point with everything we've tried. Keep it up!!! Our neighborhood go-to...

Amazing place that should be on everyone's food bucket list. The chef and staff treat everyone like family. Sweet potatoes and lamb shawarma wirh rice pilaf were crave-worthy and the chef really loves hials customers (and doesn't hesitate to tell you). I wish I lived closer.

I had been eyeing this place for a while, visiting LA Fitness and Publix in the plaza many times. After a gym session today, I was hungry for lunch. Spotting Aviva again while walking with my boyfriend to his car, I remarked again "we should try that place soon." He asked me "why not now?" I thought for a second then decided it was the best time! We walked up to the restaurant and were greeted by beautiful blooming flowers and pops of lime green chairs. When we went inside, we noticed every table had vases of tulips on them. The restaurant is clean and modern, with a casual ambiance. The fact that it is counter service made me mistakenly think that this place would probably be mediocre--boy, was I (happily) wrong! We stepped up to the counter and were greeted by a lovely woman who gave us complimentary cups of vegan lentil soup. My boyfriend initially wasn't going to get anything, but everything looked too enticing. We each ordered a salmon salad. Before paying, she instructed us to sit down because it would be about 5-6 minutes. I was a little confused, and wondered if I misunderstood, but we sat down. We finished our yummy vegan soups, which my boyfriend said couldn't possibly be healthy because it tasted so good (I'm sure they were deliciously healthy!). Soon, our salads were ready. We went back to the counter and were asked if we wanted everything on it. We said yes! Everything was plated so beautifully, from the cabbage, to the baba ghanoush, to the hummus, to the tabbouleh, to the roasted peppers, onions, and tomatoes (hidden under the salmon), to the juicy, moist, perfectly cooked salmon, to the drizzle of my choice of lemon garlic sauce per recommendation. And the plates themselves were visually appealing. Even the bottled (or, carton, rather) water ("Just Water" brand) was special. The environmentally-friendly carton says it is made almost entirely of plants. As we paid, they asked if we wanted pita bread (I said just one piece please, and my boyfriend asked for one but said to give it to me haha). We finished our entire plates, they were so delicious (and they were big portions)! So fresh. So beautiful. I'm truly blown away. You really feel the care and attention to detail and quality here. We will be back!

Atlanta has such competition for good Mediterranean food. I can't understand the high ratings here. Let's start with the good: nice, big, bright location and IMMACULATELY clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly and all of the food looked pretty. I was greeted with a sample of vegan soup -- a nice touch. Unfortunately, the soup was lightly seasoned water with vegetables in it and I knew this place was primarily window dressing. Rosemary chicken was ALLLLLLLL bones. I know they love their olive oil here (and sell it separately) but this thing was bathed in it and beyond greasy. I am not sure if the rice or grilled vegetables were seasoned at all. Hummus was tahini paste with a chickpea in it. Pita was dry. Both of which were paid add-ons (wtf). I think my bill with a drink was like $25 for lunch -- given the volume of food I received not terrible in 2025. My dining partner enjoyed his vegan falafel wrap and it is nice that this place has vegan options. I applaud that. The best parts of my meal were the Mexican Coke and leaving. 2/5 will not return.

Just randomly end up here when looking around for food close to my hotel. I'm glad I ended up here though, the staff members are nice and very welcoming. They go above and beyond and made me feel like I was at a relatives place. they even gave me a free slice of watermelon. Food is great on top of the great service and the place itself is clean and very neat and modern.

WOW. What an amazing experience. I can't believe that it's taken me so long to visit Aviva after reading so many rave reviews and seeing them being at the top of so many Yelp lists. I've truly been missing out. This new location in Buckhead is set in Buckhead Landing plaza neighboring a number of restaurants and retail. When you arrive, you truly can't miss this beautiful building with their bold green sign out front. Before you even enter you can see their beautiful patio with great seating options for Atlanta afternoons that call for an al fresco meal which was incredibly refreshing to see. Upon entry, the fresh aesthetics continued with the bright and welcoming decor. The green accent walls and natural light beaming in, it was such a breath of fresh air! Speaking of breaths of fresh air, before I even discuss the food let's talk about the team here. I won't ever get over how welcoming, helpful and kind the staff was! I wish I would have gotten all of their names because it seemed that every single person was happy to be there and happy to help. Seriously some of the best customer service that I've experienced in a minute. Beyond our food order, we were given healthy samples of their delicious soup and two plates of complimentary watermelon just because! I also loved that they didn't hand them to us as if it was an option LOL more like, 'eat this, enjoy!' Too sweet. Regarding food, the spread available was amazing. Foodies have the option of a pita, a plate or a salad, topped with a variety of proteins and then hot and cold options. All of my senses were in overload mode because, WOW. My intern went with a salad that was topped with goodness while I went for a plate. I opted for the recommended fan-favorite rosemary chicken, roasted veggies, tabbouleh, cabbage, a green sauce on top and hummus on the side. Let me say - I did not think that they were going to give me that huge piece of chicken omg. It was definitely a quarter piece of chicken, I could have fed another person with that bad boy! I also decided to go for their pistachio baklava as a dessert. Listen - this meal was DELICIOUS. WOW, WOW, WOW. Extremely fresh, the flavors came through in every single bite and that was seriously some of the juiciest, well-seasoned chickens I have tasted in a minute. I'm always so hungry these days but I could barely make it through half of the chicken and sides as I dug into the tasty plate. And the baklava? Incredible. Layered with flavor and perfectly sweet. Incredible. I actually returned later on as I thought that I lost my wallet and who did I get to see? Chef Kameel himself!! I wasn't even there to eat again but Chef Kameel and his big personality almost made me want to stick around lol. They offered me another delicious soup tasting and he had one of the young men at the cash register give me their chocolate dessert after he saw that I was pregnant lol. I seriously felt like he and I were old friends that hadn't seen each other in months, he seriously has some of the best energy!! I need to know when he's back in the building so I can be there lol. All in all, truly one of the best experiences I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a minute from start to finish. I truly had the pleasure of enjoying what the rave reviews have all been about and can now truly say I see why Aviva by Kameel is at the top of so many 'places to eat' lists, especially here on Yelp! If you haven't been, I promise that you won't regret making your way over to take in the experience.

Aviva was incredible! The energy from the staff was so welcoming with constant watermelon refills and amazing recommendations. I got the chicken shawarma salad with all the fixings and it blending perfectly. The salad was so filling and very reasonably priced for the amount of food given. You will be seeing me again at this location or one of their others spread around Atlanta.

Highly recommend Aviva. I've been twice and it was consistent both times. You are met with a super friendly female and while deciding on your order, you are offered a yummy vegan lentil soup. I've had the falafel plate and chicken shwarma salad. Both are large portions and delicious. The falafel is done perfectly, crispy outside with tender and not dried out inside (dare I say moist). The chicken shwarma is cooked with onions and seasoned beautifully. Hummus, babaghanoush, tabbouleh are all excellent. The tahini wasn't my favorite (tangy). While I was having lunch on 2nd visit, someone came around and offered fresh cut watermelon. So nice! Plenty of parking although lots of eateries here so I imagine it will get crazy. You can eat inside or a covered outside patio

My first time. My husband had been to the downtown location many times and wanted to check out their newest location. The owner and his son were there working and being a major part of the ambiance. The place is clean and fresh and welcoming. If you love healthy food, if you love Mediterranean food, if you love big portions THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I will definitely add Aviva to my rotation of restaurants. I ordered the salmon plate. It required I wait a little longer but it was worth having freshly grilled salmon as opposed to being served something sitting for hours in a warming pan. My husband ordered the falafel plate and we had sides of tabouleh, sweet potatoes, soups, mix roasted veg, lentils and baba ganoush. Don't portion shame me . EVERYTHING was delicious. I love an owner who stops by to check we are enjoying things and of course this owner did that AND dropped off some homemade baklava for us and the others eating in which ended up being the perfect ending to a surprisingly wonderful and healthy lunch. The other thing I noticed and GREATLY appreciated is the attention to customer service. From the patriarch and his son, to the staff in the kitchen this place feels family owned in all the great ways family owned businesses used to feel when you could tell the family loved and took pride in their place. Don't wait, you won't be disappointed. Bon appetit!

One word - wow. From the service and warm greeting when you enter, to the presentation, to the quality and freshness and tastiness of the food!! I was so impressed trying this place out for lunch for the first time today. Will be back 10000x. The creamy chicken soup was so good I was trying to drink it from the bowl towards the end to get every drop.. it was that good. Highly recommend!

After seeing all the reviews, as we were going to be in buckhead for another errand, we took the opportunity to try Aviva by Kameel for lunch. Everything was excellent, service, facilities (very clean and modern) and food! My wife and I had chicken shawarma, my daughter had rosemary chicken, both flavorful, tasty and tender. Sides were ok. Portions were very generous, we took about half of the entree home! Nice touch of complimentary soup (excellent) before and watermelon slice after lunch. Highly recommend!

From the moment you walk in, the aroma of Mediterranean spices greets you like a warm embrace--reminiscent of a home-cooked meal from a beloved family member. It instantly brings to mind memories of your favorite family cook. While the restaurant might fall under the "fast casual" category, the flavor tells a different story--every bite tastes like it came from a scratch kitchen. You can tell the ingredients, right down to the sauces, are made with care and intention. The space itself is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully laid out--clean and comfortable, with a design that invites you to stay awhile. And the hospitality? It shines through in every interaction, a reflection of the genuine pride the staff takes in their work. If you find yourself in Buckhead, this is absolutely a spot worth visiting.

Only good things to say about this place. Tried it out today for lunch and it was fantastic. Parking lot was busy but easy enough to find a spot. Restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. The staff was so kind and friendly. They were patient with it being our first time and explaining what all the options were. Everything was delicious. I'm often hesitant of falafel because I really love it but it's often dry and tasteless--not this one. The falafel crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful on the inside. Excellent. The red cabbage (which I hadn't even planned to get) was sooo good. Hummus was delicious. Chicken and lamb shawarmas were great. The only thing that wasn't amazing was the pita, which was a little dry. I wasn't even disappointed though because everything else was perfect.

First time here, got done working out and stumbled across the place. Found out One of the owners served me and was a great dude!!! Super friendly and had great recommendations. Chicken was perfect, sweet potatoes were awesome, veggies melted in my mouth. Bread was tasty. Definitely would recommend to eat here often, if lived here I'd eat here at least 1-2 times per week. If you want a healthy, clean meal, this is the place!

Overnight in Buckhead so we decided to come to Aviva because of the reviews. It ABSOLUTELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Friendly and helpful service from the moment we entered. Ambiance was set by the wonderful smells and clean as a pin dining room. Food was Fantastic. Had the rosemary chicken and wife had the chicken shawarma...both on point. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The food was delicious. The salmon was perfect and the chicken shawarma was spot on. The baklava was not too sweet just right. The sides were all wonderful. The service was fantastic. We got watermelon and extra sides from kameel himself

The food is incredible and healthy, and the service and friendliness is beaten by none. Everything is great, but the Salmon Plate is a must try! And if Kameel is there, try his amazing fresh made bread and get an "I love you!" from the man himself.

NEW PLACE ALERT!! The new Buckhead location of Aviva by Kameel is to die for. I've never met kinder more generous employees. The employees energetically greeted each customer upon entering treating them like family. They treated each customer to a mini bowl of soup (which was amazing) while they ordered/waited in line. They also are so generous with portions- I got SO much chicken and large portions of my two sides. Mr. Kameel gave me a free homemade pita which was the fluffiest best pita I have had in my entire life. You cannot leave without trying it I can't even describe how good it is. He also gave me a falafel to try which I definitely would recommend- it wasn't like any falafel I've had before (in a good way). It is a little expensive- but I believe worth every penny. Mr Kameel is also big on using 100% extra virgin olive oil which is super healthy! They have both inside and outdoor seating- definitely a nice place to dine outside when the weather is nice! I literally could go on and on about this place. It is located in the shopping center with the new Publix!

I decided to stop by today after hearing great reviews and they did not disappoint. The food was fresh well seasoned and beautifully cooked. The SOUP!? Amazing. I'll definitely be thinking about it for life . The customer service was also top notch and the store was extremely clean. I think I've found my new favorite spot.

One of the best additions to the neighborhood in years. Kameel is legendary down in Peachtree center (weekday lunch with lines out door) and he has now expanded to Buckhead. We have been twice. The food service and hospitality are similar to downtown. We tried multiple things on menu from chicken to fish and all was executed flawlessly. Kameel tends to be there on Saturdays and it is always a treat seeing him. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

There are few places one visits to eat with the expectation of anything more than nourishing a famished body. Aviva exists to do more than serve our base instinct for food. Upon entry my mother and I were greeted with a kind of merriment that exists between family members reuniting under one roof. What genuine love was exuded from not just one individual but entirety of the staff, and the head chef especially! He spoke with pride sharing the origin of the food, quality of ingredients, (all cooked in the finest of olive oils), and the desire to have customers enter and leave with an experience that can not be emulated elsewhere. Oh and the food, we hardly thought ourselves hungry but once we began eating, it was impossible to stop until polishing the plate. So warm, dancing with flavors and herbs, they were meant to mingle on plate and be mixed together! But the most decadent dish was the baklava, I don't say such a statement sparingly, but it was the best baklava we've ever tasted. The light touches of honey, the bold flaky layers stuffed with crumbly pistachios, and the lovely notes of rose that provided the palate with a gentle kiss as velvety soft as rose petals themselves. It was not only a blessing to enter this establishment, but an honor to partake in, with chef and food worthy of a Michelin star. In having just moved to Atlanta, I have nothing but faith and gratitude in the kindness that dwells in unexpected places, as I too hope to be the love that was shown so faithfully unto us.

This might be the best customer service in ATL! Not kidding. Before we could even figure out where to order Kameel had already welcomed us and said "so glad yall are here!" This is our first time and we will be back! Kameel and his team are the best and the food is amazing. Rosemary Chicken is incredible.

Amazing! We have been coming here weekly since they opened and we are low key obsessed with the plates and the soups. The staff is so friendly and the food is down right fresh and yummy. My favorite plate is the rosemary chicken with rice and vegetables. The watermelon slices adds a nice touch to the end of the meal. There is also an amazing bread that's offered in the evenings and it is sooo good, so seasoned! No disrespect to the pita bread but the other bread is much better. ;)

I got a Yelp account just to give this review. One of my favorite restaurants in Buckhead. The rosemary chicken is awesome. This does not feel like a typical fast casual restaurant. The service is grounded in hospitality. Each time I have been, they have provided free soup samples and fresh bread. Earlier this week, we even got a free watermelon slice for dessert. As long as the prices, quality, and service remain the same, we will be back again and again!

I wish we can rate this place on a different category.. because this isn't your normal restaurant experience. Simply put exceptional quality food, amazing service and ambiance. Love it!!

It was my first time visiting and I am very happy with my experience here. Upon arriving to the counter to place an order, I was greeted with a warm welcome and sample of a chicken soup which was delicious. Since it was my first time visiting, one of the workers kindly walked through the menu and provided great recommendations. The food is well-seasoned and tastes like it was made with the freshest ingredients. Can't recommend this place enough! Definitely give this place a try!

One word.. AMAZING!! I don't even know where to start. The customer service is a 10/10. Chef Kameel and staff all show great hospitality! This was my first time visiting and I ordered a Salmon wrap. You do have to wait 5-10 min but it's worth the freshness of the food. While waiting I was offered complimentary soup and bread and it was delicious!!! The bread alone was full of flavor and very fresh!! The salmon wrap was so DELICIOUS. The wrap was made fresh in house as well. If you want GOOD HEALTHY EATS, I highly recommend this place. Next visit I'll be trying the chicken!

Aviva is a phenomenal restaurant that has delicious, healthy foods. Aviva also has great customer service and a friendly, inviting atmosphere! If you ever get a chance to meet Kameel that is the icing on top! His interaction with the customers is so welcoming. We visited the New location in Buckhead.

Me and my coresident stopped by here after our conference and we were welcomed with incredible hospitality. After a long day, they welcomed us with lentil soup on the house and gave us the whole rundown of how their menu worked. The food was fantastic, I got the lamb shawarma plate with a side of rice and tabouli - it was filling and delicious. As we were eating our meal, the owner stopped by and dropped off some dates for us, then 5 minutes later they gave us slices of watermelon. Everything fresh, healthy, and delicious. Thank you all so much for a lovely experience.

Excellent food! Everything was delicious. Service was very friendly & went above and beyond expectations. The vegan lental soup has justified the right spice and is perfect to warm you up on a cold winters night. Go. You will not be disappointed!

The food is delightful, refreshing and full of flavor. We were immediately greeted with warm welcomes and a sample of vegan soup. The salmon is worth the 7 min wait. My daughter and I shared a plate and was more than enough food for lunch. I only hope Aviva expands to Charlotte so I can visit on the regular.

10/10!!! My boyfriend and I came here Wednesday night and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The food was incredible and great portion sizes. The staff was great - our first time coming and they explained the different options and gave us soup samples to try while we decided. The owner made a point to speak to most tables and say hello. He was extremely kind and generous! While we were there, we were offered free watermelon and freshly baked bread. I had the chicken shawarma wrap and he had the lamb plate. I'll be recommending to all of my friends!
