Cooking is not just a job – it is quintessentially an art. This is the belief in the Mediterranean. With his mother as the role model cook for him, Kameel’s passion for food flourished at a very early age in life. With the assistance of Aviva, his sister, Kameel, opened the doors to their restaurant, Aviva by Kameel in 2012, on October 8th. He couldn’t have chosen a more fitting name as Aviva in English means spring, all concerning revival and freshness.
The Place Where Quality Lives
The restaurant only cooks with the finest quality premium products and strictly prefers using all local produce. Even their selection of meat is purely born and bred in America with no additional preservatives, chemicals, or extra hormones. All of the cooking is only done in olive oil, with not so much as a stick of butter present in their kitchens, keeping the food light and easily digestible.
When diners take their first bite of the food at Avivas, their taste buds immediately pick one unique element, and that is passion. Kameel’s passion for the culinary arts is what sets apart his restaurants from the others. It is his passion for cooking that no culinary training can ever instill in chefs, and no restaurants can ever pretend to possess. One bite at Aviva’s, and you won’t be able to stop from coming back over and over for more.
Kameel’s perseverance and relentless practice paid off tremendously in delivering all-natural, wholesome, and fresh foods. Getting rated as Atlanta’s Number 1 restaurant for lunch amongst so many bests was not an easy feat, to say the least, but the brother-sister pair made it happen. Their mantra is, when fresh, wholesome and passion combine, great food is bound to come” and that it does.
