About Us
From our signature Hovan Rolls to fresh Mediterranean favorites, Hovan Gourmet brings together tradition, quality ingredients and the welcoming spirit of sharing good food.
THE STORY OF HOVAN GOURMET
It All Started with a Roll
The Hovan story began in 1980, when Hovaness Kabbenjian started rolling assorted meats and cheeses in traditional Armenian bread at The Cheese Shop in Atlanta, Georgia. The creations quickly became popular, inspiring the Hovan Gourmet concept in 1984—built around fresh, healthy and delicious sandwich rolls.
The concept continued to grow, with the first franchise opening in 1995 and Hovan Gourmet Cafes expanding throughout the Southeast. Today, that heritage lives on through our signature rolls, Mediterranean favorites and commitment to serving food that's fresh, flavorful and made to be enjoyed.
OUR PASSION FOR MEDITERRANEAN FLAVOR
Fresh Food. Made with Purpose.
At Hovan Gourmet Mediterranean, we believe great food begins with fresh, natural ingredients. Our menu brings together Mediterranean classics and Hovan favorites—from hummus, falafel and gyros to kebabs, vibrant salads and our signature Hovan Rolls—all prepared with a focus on freshness, quality and value.
Whether you're joining us for lunch, dinner or ordering for a gathering, our goal remains simple: serve satisfying food with consistent quality and personal customer service.
