Atlanta’s Exciting New Aviva by Kameel Opens Second Location in Midtown

The beloved Downtown Mediterranean restaurant, Aviva by Kameel, has officially branched out with a vibrant new location in Midtown Atlanta. Known for its soulful hospitality and fresh, health-oriented cuisine, the expansion is creating quite a buzz in the city, promising both loyal fans and newcomers a new go-to lunch option this year.

Since opening on June 13th, 2024, at 11 Midtown (located at 555 Spring Street NW), Aviva’s second location has quickly become a lunchtime hotspot for Atlanta’s fast-paced workforce and neighborhood residents. The original Aviva by Kameel, founded by Kameel Srouji in the Peachtree Center food court, earned a cult following for its cheerful service and standout Mediterranean fare—dishes like kabobs hot off the grill, freshly prepared falafel, and famously tender lamb stew. Loyalists will be relieved to know that the Midtown menu replicates all the favorites, with hearty platters, bright salads, and even Kameel’s signature complimentary baklava.

What makes Aviva by Kameel so special isn’t just its bold flavors or generous portions, but also the welcoming family atmosphere. Kameel himself is often seen greeting guests with stories and smiles, making the dining experience feel extra personal. For the Midtown location, the space is larger and features modern design touches while still maintaining the warm, inviting energy that regulars love. There are new additions as well, like expanded vegan and gluten-free options, answering the call from today’s health-conscious diners without sacrificing the restaurant’s signature touch.

With lines already forming out the door, the Midtown outpost is poised to repeat the success of Downtown—serving as both a quick lunch escape and a comforting culinary anchor within Atlanta’s bustling restaurant scene. For anyone seeking fresh, affordable, and authentically prepared Mediterranean food, Aviva by Kameel remains unmatched, now with two gems sparkling in the heart of Atlanta.

If you haven’t yet experienced the hospitality of Kameel or sampled his legendary roasted chicken shawarma, the new Midtown location is your perfect excuse. Step in, savor the flavors, and become part of Georgia’s ever-growing food family—one plate at a time.
