    Aziza Restaurant Opens In West Midtown Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    Another new Atlanta restaurant has opened in Atlanta’s West Midtown corridor. Aziza opened its doors on Thursday, July 26 in the Westside Provisions District.

    The eatery is the second concept from Oliva Restaurants, which brought us the award-winning Italian market and wine bar Bellina Alimentari in Ponce City Market.

    Aziza set to open in Westside Provisions District in Atlanta

    Aziza restaurant focuses on traditional Israeli cuisine made from fresh ingredients.

    Aziza, which means “happiness” in Arabic, comes from owner Tal Postelnik Baum, who was born and raised in Israel.

    Helming the kitchen is Executive Chef Brandon Hughes, a Macon native.

    “Over the past few years, Atlanta has become more and more recognized as an international culinary destination,” Hughes says in a written statement.” You don’t have to look far to experience almost any kind of cuisine. One exception, however, until now, is elevated Israeli cuisine. Aziza is here to change that.”

    “I am thrilled to bring guests a modern take on the Israeli experience that Tal grew up with. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared with powerful, complex flavors that will leave guests wanting to discover more.”

    What’s on the menu at Aziza?

    The restaurant features a menu designed around the Israeli tradition of sharing and bring together patrons for a meal that utilizes all of their senses. Aziza’s culinary offerings will be a true crossroads of culture with influences from across the Middle East.

    The full menu will explore the non-traditional side of Israeli cuisine with modern spins inspired by local ingredients and Chef’s personal take on Israeli dishes.

    “Aziza will be a wonderful addition to Atlanta’s already incredible dining scene. We plan to fully celebrate Israeli food and culture in a fun and welcoming atmosphere,” Baum said. “I wanted to create a space that highlights the dishes that I grew up with and those that many may not necessarily be familiar with. Diners will experience exciting, complex yet ethnic flavors and leave feeling as if they’ve just been welcomed into someone’s home in Israel.”

    Baum plans to continue her expansion in Atlanta with the opening of a third restaurant, Rina, this fall. The Israeli street food concept will open along the Eastside BeltLine trail in the Ford Factory Lofts, across from Ponce City Market.

    Atlanta has a lot of inspirational people and AtlantaFi.com is going to introduce you to many of them as well as cool places to go, great restaurants and other ATL happenings.
