Pita Chips and Hummus - Rating 5/5
Saleem F.

Best pita chips & hummus combo that I've had up here so far in Atlanta. I also quite enjoyed the lamb meatball pita and Chicken and Right Rice. For the record in regards to that Chicken and Right Rice bowl, I customized it with: brown rice super greens, crazy feta, red pepper hummus (regular hummus is good too), half grill chicken, half felafel, tomato+onions (tomato+cucumber is a good substitute), pickled onions, Persian cucumbers, kalamata olives, yogurt dill, tzatziki, greek vinaigrette. I'd also recommend the garlic dressing and tahini caesar as great choices for dressings.

A good fast-casual spot for a healthy, flavorful & customizable meal. I came with my Sister, who loves Spicy Lamb Meatball Pita. For the Vegans slim options of Falafel, Roasted vegetables & Roasted white sweet potatoes. From the crisp greens & grains to the perfectly seasoned proteins (per my Sister), everything is high quality & full of flavor. The toppings and mix-ins, like roasted vegetables, crunchy chickpeas & tangy olives, really elevate the meal, making each bite interesting & tasty. The portion sizes are generous without feeling overly heavy, making it a great option for lunch or dinner. The ability to customize each bowl means there's something for everyone, whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, or just looking to mix things up. I do appreciate the ability to make your meal exactly how I want it--each visit feels like a new, fresh experience. The service is always fast & friendly. The atmosphere is casual & clean, with a modern vibe. A good place for healthy food, whether you're in the mood for a big, hearty bowl or just need a quick, fresh bite.

I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews, but it's important for customers to know what to expect, especially when dining out has become such an expensive experience. CAVA is often hyped as delicious and worth trying, but one consistent issue I've encountered at several CAVA locations in Atlanta, particularly the Perimeter location, is the poor customer service. When you walk into a restaurant, a warm greeting goes a long way--especially since staff don't know if it's your first time visiting. Unfortunately, the workers at this location often seem to have a negative attitude. Asking a simple question feels like an inconvenience to them, as if you should already know the menu. Good customer service is about more than just serving food. It's about being knowledgeable, courteous, and providing an overall pleasant experience. At this location, the staff consistently appear unhappy, and if you ask them to create a bowl, they give very small portions. If you request more, their reactions are visibly negative. Dining out should be a positive experience, with good food and great service. When customer service is lacking, it makes customers hesitant to return. As good as CAVA's food may be, something needs to change in their customer service training--especially at this location. Just showing up is not enough; customers want to feel like they're valued. If this doesn't improve, CAVA will likely lose me as a customer and future ones.

The food was good . The service was HORRIBLE. I ordered my food online at 12. Pick up email for 12:15. Got my food at 12:45. I was told the pick up time does not matter. The manager began asking for names instead of times and making orders out of order. When I explained ppl were here at different times she cut me off and rolled her eyes. The ambiance was chaotic. When I arrived there were 16 people in line. They ALL got their orders before any of the 12 people waiting for online orders. I ordered one bowl and a drink. I don't think I'll come back here.

As someone who picks up from this location once or twice a month, I'm pretty surprised at the rating. I usually order on the app, and have never had an issue with my order. The few times I've ordered at the counter have gone well too. Quick service, they get it right, store inside is clean. And of course the flavor of the food is top notch in fast food/fast casual. Lots of variety to customize your bowl, and a lot of flavors you don't find at other similar restaurants. I'm definitely a fan of CAVA, and have no reason to stop coming to this particular location in Perimeter.

I love this Cava location & it's staff! First, Cliff & his staff are amazing! They are always so nice and courteous while paying attention to details when it comes to my order, every single time! I visit the location often and Cliff and his staff are always so attentive to all my request for my bowls. They are always made to perfection! Second - this location is always so clean. The stations are always prepped so nicely and full! I never see any messes & the staff is quick to restock / make sure that all the napkins, utensils and drinks are filled! Doesn't matter what time of the day it is! Cleanliness is a big deal for me and this location hits it on the mark! Lastly, Cliff & his staff are FAST. There's usually a lunch rush sometimes, but other than that, they usually usually take care of the lines quickly without mistakes to orders. 10/10, thanks for all you do Cliff! Please keep it up. A raise is needed for this man!

This spot literally never misses! My go to when I'm in Atlanta. I hyped it up so much to my…read moreboyfriend that he wanted to come for his bday dinner. First of all, it's so stunning when you walk in. We had an awesome server who was personable, chill, and friendly. We ordered the Hormuz island, Dill labneh, Sabzi polo, and Chinjeh. The drinks are always so fresh and delicious and the food...omgggg to die for. I'm still dreaming of that dill labneh. For dessert, they were kind enough to bring my boyfriend an ice cream - it was orange-y tasting and so refreshing and delicious. We had a great time and I can't wait to come back!

Don't leave Atlanta without trying this place. Overall - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Adana Kebab - 5/5 - this was the first time I had something like this. It was honestly delicious and really stood out. Sooo good, juicy, and flavourful. Labneh - 4.2/5 - Really liked this: it's like a whipped yogurt. The dill one was nice too and probably ordered that one a bit. Bandia Olivieh - 4/5 - this is another type of dip ish dish... really good but I liked the labneh more I'd say. Chicken Kofta - 4.2/5 - so flavourful and tasty. As a chicken lover, this was my next favourite after the Adana. So good. Service - 5/5 - We came here back in July (catching up on reviews). Our server, Max, was so great. Very positive, happy, and just an awesome server overall. Truly one of the best service I've ever had. Ambiance - 5/5 - Very busy, but a beautiful ambiance. Dim lighting with a cultural middle eastern feel. Honestly was so great and we're to the stellar dining experience.

Large and lovely Persian restaurant in ATL. Really nice courtyard where there are other restaurants…read moreand stores. There's a water fountain as well. Super cute vibe. Yalda has indoor and outdoor seating but the outdoor seating is covered so it can get quite hot and humid. We preferred to sit inside. It's a really pretty restaurant from the inside and an open kitchen concept. I really enjoyed the chicken Shish kabob, lamb Koobideh, lamb shawarma wrap, and chicken bites. Our favorites were the fries that came with the wrap and the chicken bites! Lots of flavor and tender. Delicious. The food was very fresh and service was nice as well. Everything came timely and correctly. Enjoyed our visit!

Yalda is a cute Persian spot in Sandy springs in a really nice little shopping area…read more We came on a weeknight and it was BUSY, but we were seated instantly. We started our dinner with the Zatar labneh which was SO GOOD! And it came with plenty of soft pita which is so different than most Persian spots where you have to keep asking for more bread. We then shared the koobideh kabob, Chilean sea bass, and Cornish hen. The sea bass was absolutely incredible and is a must get! I thought the hen was good too but koobideh kabobs just aren't my thing usually. I usually like saffron rice at other Persian spots better but I really enjoyed the shirin polo. Overall Yalda is a great spot! It doesn't stand out too much compared to the other Persian restaurants because I think they're all good, but if you're in the area I would recommend!

We ordered musakhan rolls, which were warm at best and really heavy on the cinnamon and or all spice.

The za'atar chicken was perfectly seasoned and incredibly juicy, the lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor, the dip trio was fresh and delicious (you can't go wrong with any of them), and the grape leaves were some of the best we've had. What really made the experience exceptional, though, was our server, Camila. She wasn't just 5 stars--she was 10 stars. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and she made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. Phenomenal food, outstanding service, and an experience that will absolutely have us coming back. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean cuisine, do yourself a favor and eat here. Highly, highly recommend!

You know where this is so you know that you're gonna have to worry about paying for parking because look at the area that you're in.

The two women that were working the front were excellent and they helped me along trying to make my decision. They were super nice and friendly and definitely worth speaking to because of their friendly demeanor . Everything I've had here has been great, absolutely amazing. I'm really hard on Mediterranean food only because where I grew up it was easy to find Mediterranean food because so many people from that side of the world put roots there. Finding some good chicken shawarma was easy. I haven't actually found a lot of that around the Atlanta area but there are a few good ones. This one is solid and did not miss. I loved it and I would definitely go back. Chicken shawarma (platter) - so the platter comes with two sides and an entrée. Everything was good. The chicken shawarma was very good and flavorful and it was super tender and I love that because it wasn't like it was sitting there all day. It was something I would definitely go back for. I may even get a wrap next time but the actual platter served me really well and it was great. roasted potatoes - my first side was potatoes and it's hard to mess up roasted potatoes. You just season it and stick it in the oven I guess but either way they were very moist and you got plenty of them. They were seasoned very well Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were pretty good. I mean I have nothing to complain about. They were vegetables and they were seasoned as well so nothing wrong with that but they were just vegetables. It's not like it was a main course kind of situation but for a side they were a really good side choice . Creamy chicken soup - now let me get to the star of the show. This soup is amazing to me. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it has something in it but it is amazing. I could actually get a big bowl of it and call it a day. The soup is creamy and savory and has bits of the chicken in there so it's also seasoned very well. I don't know what it is about this soup but this soup is gold to me. In any event yes I liked everything I got, yes I would go back, yes the soup is amazing, all the things LOL. They have a rosemary chicken that is supposed to be the best seller but I didn't come for that. I would definitely try that next time. I was very satisfied with what I got!
