patio // CAVA * Briarcliff (ATL) GA
Alisha L.

I visited this location with a friend for lunch today (10.11.25). The food was prepared fresh & all the ingredients we wanted were in stocked. The employees were friendly but service was very slow. Especially considering there were no other people in line and the restaurant was practically empty. It seems the servers were prioritizing preparing online &/or delivery service orders over those in-store. The outdoor patio was well kept and shaded.

Came here looking for a satisfying and filling lunch. I got their chicken with white and brown rice with as many of the free toppings I could get. They were very generous with the servings and gave me two sauces on the side too. Staff were friendly and the place was relatively clean. Would certainly come again!

Harissa Avocado

This was my second time visiting CAVA, and I'm officially hooked! The first time I went, I had no idea what anything was, but the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly--they walked me through building a custom bowl I had seen in a previous review, and the experience was smooth and welcoming. This time, I decided to try one of their curated bowls--the Harissa Avocado--and WOW. It was packed with flavor! The combination of harissa honey chicken, Crazy Feta®, hummus, fire-roasted corn, avocado, rice, SuperGreens, and that harissa vinaigrette was chef's kiss. It's 840 calories of pure deliciousness, and I already know this will be my go-to order from now on. Also, don't sleep on the drinks--super refreshing and pair perfectly with the food. Highly recommend CAVA to anyone who loves bold, fresh, and customizable Mediterranean flavors!

I had been to the location in Cumming a year ago so was excited to eat lunch here. I loved the chicken sate bowl that I had before and went in expecting to order the same thing. To my surprise the menu changed three weeks ago. Womp womp!! A very kind man wearing a name tag that said Dedric is the reason I stayed He convinced me to take the choose your own adventure route and build my own bowl. I went down the line choosing flavors that I thought I would enjoy, Dedric helped me through the experience, very patiently explaining each of the options on every station as we went. He gave me his opinions and sometimes suggested that I taste an item before I added it to my bowl. My final product was OK, but I think I need more practice with knowing which flavors mix well together. The ingredients are extremely fresh and delicious. I would've rated this a 5 if I had created a better pairing of flavors and enjoyed my bowl more. Honestly, if I lived closer to a Cava, I would eat here enough, that I know what to order.

I ate here two weeks ago with my manager for a work lunch. I hadn't had a Cava bowl in quite a few months before eating here that day. They are still as good as I'd remembered. I don't know why I went with a personalized bowl rather than a chef-curated signature. This probably derailed the quality of the bowl because I don't know what tastes good together. I added the harissa dip, and it was definitely way too spicy for me. For my drink, I got a blend of strawberry citrus + cucumber mint lime. It was super refreshing and satisfied my thirst fully!

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. We also ordered grape leaves, hummus, batata harra and planned to share the lamb kebabs (or so we thought). The food was underwhelming, like seasoning and flavor. The lamb was overcooked and look like someone had eaten part of it before it made it to the table. We've been to several mediterranean restaurants but won't come back to this one. Don't believe the TikTok hype!

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. Just keep that in mind but there are plenty of parking structures around . The service was great. 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!
