My friend, the wait is nearly over! Aviva by Kameel has received their CO (Certificate of Occupancy) and will celebrate the Grand Opening of their new restaurant this Friday November 8 from 6 to 10 pm in Buckhead!
The new Aviva is located to the left of longstanding tenant Piu Bello, an existing pizza shop, two doors from Burtons Grill & Bar, a new casual American restaurant opening November 7, and a few doors down from existing Szechuan eatery Urban Wu.
ToNeTo Atlanta first reported on the planned opening last December.
Buckhead Landing marks the third overall location of the popular Mediterranean eatery following the original and flagship which opened in October 2012 at The Hub at Peachtree Center downtown. A satellite shop at CODA in Midtown debuted in July 2020.
To celebrate the Buckhead opening, Aviva will offer several goodies to those who dine at the restaurant opening night.
+ The first 100 guests will receive a signature Aviva dad hat.
+ The first 10 guests will receive a $50 gift card.
+ Everyone who walks through the door will enjoy complimentary baklava and soup!
For those unfamiliar, Aviva by Kameel is a counter-service Mediterranean eatery that is widely regarded as being one of the best in the city. The eatery has plenty of vegetarian options like falafel and creamed spinach but also popular meat options like their rosemary chicken, lamb shawarma, and roasted salmon.
Kameel Srouji, his son Nas, and sister Aviva, for whom the restaurant is named, are the guiding forces behind the restaurant, with Nas expected to manage the new Buckhead outpost.
"Born in the historical city of Nazareth as the youngest of eleven siblings, Kameel's culinary journey began in the warmth of his family kitchen, where the rhythmic dance of flavors and the communal spirit of mealtime left an indelible mark on his young heart. Under the watchful eyes of his mother and sisters, Kameel learned that the secret to exceptional food lies not just in the ingredients, but in the love and care infused into each dish."
The restaurant offers halal meats that are hormone and antibiotic-free and cooks in 100% olive oil, underscoring their focus on healthier offerings.
In addition to Aviva by Kameel and the aforementioned Burtons, a new location of Omakase Table, Handel's Ice Cream, and Publix, among other tenants, are expected to open in the coming months at Buckhead Landing.
Are you excited about the opening of Aviva by Kameel in Buckhead? Have you ever been to Aviva by Kameel? Who in Atlanta do you think makes the best falafel? Hummus?

Good luck to them. I don't see much activity in that part of Buckhead anymore, and the people I do see are often homeless. Really eerie compared to what is was like 10 years ago.
I work across the street and none of this is true. You should get out more..
Doesn't look like anyone is excited about this. Perhaps the poster from 11/7 is on target.
Facts are facts. Buckhead is no longer what it used to be. Not sure why all the deniers come out of the woodwork when someone points out the (miserable) changes.
What's left of the office workers might drive some lunch traffic, but I don't know if that's enough to stay in business. Plus, companies continue to relocate from Buckhead to nicer parts of the city where young workers want to live and play, like the Eastside Beltline and West Midtown.
Target is way down the road at Sidney Marcus. This is at the old Disco Kroger center with a brand new Publix opening. Crowded area all the time. Maybe you went there at 3am?
What are you even talking about? I live in the area and there’s always people around. With the hotels in the area that shopping plaza is always busy. On top of Twin Peaks which is always packed. You’re literally just being negative to be negative.
Your “facts” are emotional statements based on your fear of anyone who is not white. And that is the real “fact.”
Not true, I'm scared of everybody.
Bring back Clarence Fosters!!
