“Really lovely experience! The service, ambiance, and food were all top notch. The cavatelli is delish, as is the white chocolate pistachio cheesecake. The only negative is parking is just street parking - if you go during off hours, parking is fine. When it’s busy, parking can be tricky. But major props to the team. With so many restaurants in town, I don’t repeat many, but I’ll go back here!“
“I never leave reviews, but I felt compelled given how kind and and generous the owner was (not to mention the delicious food). As soon as I walked in, the owner welcomed me in and offered a free cup of delicious vegan soup. He later gave me a sample of delicious, strong coffee too! The food was great, and the atmosphere and service couldn’t be more welcoming. I’m visiting from out of town, but I’d be eating here on a regular basis if I lived in Atlanta!“
“The hummus rivals any that I have had in Tel Aviv. In fact, it may be better. Combined with the crispy fresh pita and pickled vegetables, it’s a joy. The Southern Italian is sandwich perfection. The sweet pork with the collards, peppers, and sharp provolone makes for a masterful combination. And that sesame bread. Just go. Trust me.“
“A fantastic surprise. We stumbled into this delightful restaurant on accident and plan to return often. Homemade bread, traditional Turkish meals with fresh ingrediants and a very pleasing atmosphere. Staff was happy, welcoming, and efficient. I look forward to returning again and again.“
“I was delighted to see that Kameel opened a second Aviva location in Midtown Atlanta! I had been a regular at his original downtown location years ago when I worked at the Peachtree Center. This new location is even better, serving the best baba ghanoush, falafel, tabbouleh that I’ve had. The chicken shawarma and pasta are also excellent. I had the pleasure of seeing Kameel today, and he is most charismatic!“
“Love this place. Been here maybe five times since coming to ATL in 2020. Would get here more, but I'm rarely downtown on a weekday, and this place isn't open on weekends. It's mainly to-go, couple tables outside with maybe 10 parking spots (recently paved). You used to order outside, but now you can order inside. They take cards, ApplePay, Wallet etc., but there's a $10 minimum for non-cash. Any combo will get you past that threshold. I've only ever gotten the lamb gyro with fries. Someday I'll try something else, but I like that gyro too much. Meaty, fresh vegetables and a sauce that's just right (not heavy or too runny). The Halal lamb is seared with almost a crust on the outside. Fresh and healthy and not greasy--I don't like those things, and I would not come here repeatedly if that was the case.“
“Small little hole in the wall restaurant but the food is nothing to sniff at. By far some of the best Mediterranean food I've had anywhere and I'm coming from Denver, CO where ethnic food is everywhere. This place has it going on. my man behind the register was very welcoming and funny. Great food, great service. 10 out of 10 recommend.“
“I had dinner with three colleagues at 5:30 on a Wednesday. We sat inside by the window and enjoyed every single dish. We tried several dishes and loved each one. They offer non-alcohol and alcohol drinks and have an upstairs patio which looks over the small playground. The staff are super friendly and noticed that we were in deep conversation and didn’t bother us. I gave the perfect amount of service. I would go back here many many times.Dietary restrictions: They offer several gluten-free options in my friend with celiac really enjoyed the pizza“
“The atmosphere of this restaurant is beautiful. They are kind , considerate, and thoughtful. Even provided hand wipes after we finished eating. Provided several accommodations (hand wipes, to go boxes, refilled water constantly etc) I am beyond happy with my experience. Very reasonably priced as well. On a scale of 1-10 the food broke the scale because it was just that good. ??☺️Dietary restrictions: They ask you immediately upon arrival about any dietary restrictions.“
“What a gem of a place here in Hapeville, GA on the Southside of Atlanta! My husband recommended this place for us to have our 2 years anniversary dinner and it was absolutely fantastic. I’m so glad we didn’t have to go into the city and were able to fine dined right here in Hapeville. The ambience was just the right balance of romantic and refined, perfect for a memorable evening. The food left me speechless, and the service was exceptional. Thank you Jacquie! Everything you recommended was delicious and your service impeccable. This day was already special but thank you Volare Wine & Bistro for adding remarkable experience to our 2nd year anniversary. Looking forward to the next time.Appetizers: Pei Mussels and BruschettaEntrees: Grilled Chermoula Lamb Chopsand Tomahawk Pork ChopsDessert: Cheesecake something. It was so, so, scrumptious!“
“It was my first time and I got to say I really enjoyed it, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming. We took the ribs and chops and also tried the chicken wings and let me tell you the ribs were soft and cooked at perfect temperature. It was just amazing. They had a few side options to go with the mean like green beans and some eggplant stew which were nice. Best thing is it’s even halal so I’d totally recommend it. It is next to a masjid which I thought was nice.“
“There’s no words to it when it’s good excellent clean food that’s organic that knows what you’re going into your body. I mean it’s just there’s no words to describe the good feeling that you have and spicy lamb meatballs ❤️❤️❤️.“
“This place is amazing. Not only the best Turkish food in Atlanta, it is also the best restaurant in Virginia Highland. I normally get the mixed grill but today I got the beef tenderloin and Adana kebab. Both were perfect. I also highly recommend getting the mix of 3 spreads. My favorites are babaganoush, muhammara, and eggplant salad.“
“I've been eating at Athens Pizza since 1982. I keep going back because the food, the service and the atmosphere is outstanding. If you like great Greek food a comfortable atmosphere then this is the restaurant for you. The moussaka is to die for! “

“Cheers to the manager who went above and beyond for me last night dropping off rice and baklava because I was not happy with the food delivery. After talking to this manager this is what he did along with explaining the portions plus the error on my end. You've restored my faith in customer service and next time we will dine in for the full experience. Thanks again “
“The most authentic Greek I have EVER Had. I’ve been all around the world & will now come here every time I’m in Atlanta! The food was top notch ; service phenomenal & all around great experience. I didn’t get the persons name tonight but they were AWESOME!“
“Such delicious food, excellent falafel and salads, hummus, baba ghanoush, and huge servings! Everything we had was vegan and very flavourful. Made for a wonderful picnic in sunny L5P!Vegetarian options: The Mediterranean platter is available as vegan or vegetarian and there are many other menu offerings that are available as well.“
“This is my FAVORITE place in Atlanta for chicken. Their tandoori chicken is truly the best chicken I’ve put in my mouth. Very affordable for the quality of food you’re getting, and the service is always lovely. If you’re looking for a nice sit-down spot, this isn’t it. Their dining in experience isn’t very basic. But if you want amazing food for a great price, get over here.Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, pita“
“Stopped in after a movie at Landmark Cinemas. The atmosphere and decor is cozy and welcoming. I could see this little place filled with local residence as the menu is varied and reasonably priced. I ordered the salmon pasta with chorizo. Initially, I thought the dish needed salt, but once I had piece of the shaved (not ground) chorizo, I found it perfect. My buddy ordered mussels and was served a ridiculous portion. It literally could have served three people. After sampling a few I agreed that they were very good. Overall, we enjoyed or meal, the setting and service. We'll be back.“
“Place is great unfortunately I will never be coming back. I ate a nice meal and a man watched me walk off the premises for about 10 minutes in a blue sedan. I then got back and was ticketed despite eating a full meal at this restaurant. He proceeded to be incredibly rude and insulting when I asked him why he had booted me. That’s likely why the entire center has such rapid turnover. If I were the owner of the shops I would make absolutely certain not to scare away good customers. If he had waited 8-10 minutes before booting my car and extorting me, this would not have happened.“
“I went there for lunch and wasn't disappointed by the food. The chicken shwarma plate had a good portion and it was good. I also tried their falafel and it was above avg.The service was fast. Food was a bit pricey but I figured that's because of the close proximity to ATL.“
“This is my favorite food place by GSU. Every time I go they’re quick and very kind. The prices for their food are affordable and the amount of food is great!! I always get the chicken gyro spicy, grape leaves, and pasta. The grape leaves are the best I have EVER had. The pasta salad is better than any pasta salad I’ve ever ate. And the chicken gyro is just chefs kiss. I always get it to go because I don’t think there is seating except in the area next door (which is public seating). Great Place for a quick but fulfilling meal!!!“
“AMAZING STAFF! AMAZING SERVICE!!! I catered from them for the last day of my 4-day wedding and the experience leading up to the day of was smooth and very accommodating! William was great in working with my budget and the items I wanted as well as the timeframe to have the order ready. The morning of, there was some confusion on our end and we hit panic mode calling the restaurant thinking we were missing a whole tray. Lisa was absolutely a God-sent! She looked everywhere and checked with everyone to make sure the trays all left and even then started preparing another tray just in case. She could've easily said we sent it all and we're busy now. Her confidence and helpful nature saved the day! I would recommend working with this location on all your catering orders - they make it so easy and I don't even have to mention - THE FOOD IS A HIT WITH EVERYONE!!!!!“
“The bathroom was filthy. The restaurant was mum. But the food was consistent and very good per usual. Buttery pita, fresh lamb and veggies, gyro sauce to top!Background: I used to go to the first location by the airport, for many years, many years ago. I'm happy that the owner (forgot his name) expanded, but I am sure he wouldn't want his locations without a welcoming atmosphere. Why not just make them all drive-throughs/carry-out without the option to sit and dine.“
“I absolutely love this place, been eating here 3 days straight. The food is fresh, full of flavor and proportioned perfectly for those of you that have a hefty appetite like myself. There are many menu options if you are vegan/vegetarian. Stop in today and have a taste. Enjoy?“
“They get a 5 because of the hours...late night! After a night of shenanigans, there's nothing like some late night fried pickles and a cheese pizza ?. The food sobers you up quite well sans the hangover! If you're expecting A+ customer service or food cooked to perfection, not the place for you...I recommend a restaurant with a higher price point. If you don't mind the occasional homeless person, over cooked wings, and dry gyros, this is the place! I highly recommend their cheese pizza, salads, fried pickles, and desserts.“
