“Outstanding food, ambiance AND service! Ameer is the best host! The food is absolutely amazing....the freshly made salads, meats seafood, etc. and the lemonade lime drink Limonana are at another level delicious!!! The lamb chops and filet mignon alone make it worth the all you can eat price. My entire family are I are STILL talking about how good the food was and can't wait to return!!!“

“Hovan is hands down one of my favorite lunch spots in Atlanta. It never disappoints. Somehow they make a basic Greek salad stand out—I can’t explain it, but they do. The cauliflower is simple yet incredible. And their beef/lamb shawarma? That’s my go-to. It’s hard to order anything else.

What I love most is that it feels healthy without sacrificing flavor. Nothing deep-fried or greasy. just real, quality food done right.

The owner is the heart of the place. It’s rare to find spots where the adorable, grandpa like welcoming owner is still everyone’s favorite, but he is. Warm, always smiling, putting a little extra love into each plate. You can tell he genuinely cares about every customer who walks through the door.

10/10, easily one of the best lunch spots in the city. If I don’t have a specific craving, Hovan is my default.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I had the pleasure of trying the chicken shawarma arabic style platter, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Delicious food and service. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, and the place is very clean. Highly recommend!“

“First-time visit, and I’m already a fan! Cafe Sababa offers a cozy café-style ambiance with cool, laid-back vibes — perfect for enjoying a flavorful Mediterranean meal.

Upon walking in, you place your order at the register. If the team is in the back (as they were when I arrived), there’s a little bell to ring for assistance — a nice touch that keeps things flowing.

After browsing the menu, I went with the chicken platter, which came with creamy hummus, a fresh salad, and warm, soft pita bread. I also added a side of chickpea curry soup, and let me tell you — the portion was generous, served hot, and packed with flavor.

Everything tasted fresh, filling, and well-seasoned. The prices were more than fair, and to top it off, bottled water was just $0.50. That’s rare these days!

This family-style Mediterranean spot is a solid yes for me. I felt welcomed, comfortable, and left full and satisfied. Definitely adding Cafe Sababa to my go-to list.“

“The food is perfectly prepared each time I visit, and the service is fantastic.“

“Friendly staff, amazing food, and great value! We ordered the Chef’s Platter, and it had everything on it. It was absolutely delicious and plenty for at least six people. It was a good opportunity way to try a bit of everything.

I especially loved the falafel, and you definitely shouldn’t miss the lentil soup and orange cake, they were on a whole different level! The kibbeh was also excellent. The restaurant beautifully blends Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors.

I would highly recommended!“

“First time here and def is our favorite shawarma spot! Super flavorful! Great portions! Amazing pita!!! Everything was yummy!!! 😋 Will be back!!! Parking situation is a bit odd but Chamblee does have a good amount of on street parking which is what we did.“

“This is literally the best food in Atlanta I have ever had or probably in the US! It was so good that I went back to get more!! I must say, Iraqi food is amazing. The way he presented the food was amazing. He also offered free chickpeas soup! Very kind host! 11/10!!!“

“CAVA is such a great spot with tons of vegan options to choose from. You can build your bowl with rice, lentils, veggies, falafel, and more — they even used to have sweet potatoes that were absolutely heavenly. Everything is super fresh, and they have plenty of vegan dressings to choose from. Really great go-to option when you want something quick, healthy, and flavorful.“

“I’ve been a customer for years and not sure why I haven’t left a review yet.

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the Atlanta metro area. The food is amazing, made with care and love by the owner. My go-to order is the mixed gyro and shawarma plate with rice and adding some hot sauce. It’s the best shawarma and gyro that I’ve had in town, and Manna’s sauces are amazing. Plus, each plate is basically 2 meals for me, which makes the cost more efficient.

I couldn’t recommend Merhaba Shawarma enough. I try to stop by myself once a week!“

“We went to Al-Zein for my son's birthday and enjoyed it very much. Family oriented, great customer service, very accommodating and everything we ordered was hot and delicious.“

“We visited on a Friday around 7:30 p.m. The place was mostly empty. Our food took longer than anticipated, but it was worth the wait. For the price, I guess I expected the restaurant to be more clean and welcoming. The establishment is not remarkably tidy--sticky floors, generally disheveled presentation. Food was flavorful and fresh.“

“Great food and services. Love it.“

“Delicious food, best Kabob, in town. Don’t miss out on the Ghormeh Sabzi !! Great service with great staff 👌 We are all looking to our next visit 😊“

“One of the best beef/lamb shawarmas I’ve had in ATL. I had it with the Zhoug and tzatziki. I’ve read other reviews and my only suggestion is that they should make sure that the food is always fresh - perhaps, how I had it today…and, lower the price a bit so that you’re not walking out with a $20 shawarma. I’ll definitely be back….“

“Had to give a big shoutout to Baraka Shawarma — hands down one of the best spots in town. The food? 🔥 The service? On point. The people? Genuine. We’re grateful to have worked with them and even more grateful to enjoy their amazing food. If you haven’t checked them out yet, don’t sleep on it. May Allah continue to grant you barakah in every plate and every customer served! 🕌🍽️“

“My wife and I have came to Sugo for the past 5 years. We usually get the meatball, a couple of the Caesar salads, beef ravioli and the Hanger Steak along with a bottle of wine. It is a great place to have a date night, and we really appreciate the owner coming by and checking in on the guests.“

“A very good experience. All employees were very welcoming. I will definitely come back.“

“CAVA is always my go to food. The ingredients are always fresh, and the build-your-own bowls make it easy to eat healthy without sacrificing taste. I love the lamb meatballs and falafel, roasted veggies, and their signature dressings are always a hit. Fast service, great portions, and super consistent every visit. Highly recommend!“

“We had the most friendly, hospitable service! Claire was outstanding, her smile was contagious and her hospitality was genuine. Food was delicious, I recommend the salmon and shrimp. Very clean establishment. The entire crew were smiling, loved seeing happy people.“

“Food & service was outstanding; I had the gyro plate and hummus. Music was too loud for dinner time. Consider cranking it up after 9PM :)“

“I’ve been coming to this place for a little over a year, and the food is always fresh, delicious, and exactly what I need to start my day. The crew is consistently friendly and fast, and even when it’s busy, there’s never really a wait because of how well the team works together. Shoutout to Jessica, who always brings the best energy no matter the time or day. She’s efficient, upbeat, and truly a leader with the way she supports her teammates.

I highly recommend this location!“

“Listen everyone, they have the best staff EVER! I would like to thank them all, but most all, a special thanks to Andy. I came to the Grecian Dunwoody one day to pick up an order for my husband and was in a joking move that day. So, I said to Andy (worker) after placing my order. "I do not have any $$ to pay for it. Do you know this "outstanding young man" had sympathy for me and pulled out his personal credit card and offer to pay for my order. Ahhhh. I could have cried. WHO DOES THIS? Andy does this! I wish, I wish we had more workers like Andy in these fast-food places, not to pay for the customer's order, but just an overall, great young fellow, humble, caring and I hope when I go back that he still there, just to say thanks for being a GREAT Person & Worker at Grecian Gyro Dunwoody. His co-workers John & Mason were great employee too. Made my Day! Thanks to All of You. You don't meet people like Andy too often or at all these days. Thanks Andy, You're Special!“

“Pulled over because I was running errands during my lunch break. Best decision I made all day. I got the spicy lamb gyro and it was delicious, warm, and packed with a lot of meat. It wasn't even that spicy as I had to ask before ordering it spicy because I love spicy food but a lot of places over do it . The nice lady at the window told me it wasn't that spicy and I went for it, brought it back to work and devoured it. I got one for my coworker and I was about to eat his because it was SOOO good. A little far from where I work but definitely worth the drive.“

“delicious Israeli food. schnitzel, hummus, salad, etc.“

“Great options. Good was good. Service was quick. Went with a large group with various special dietary needs. We all found something. The menu was marked with vegan and gluten-free options. It was build your own delish dish! And the first time I tried Falafel. Cruncy savory yummy... definitely going again!“
