| - Atlas is a place I've driven past a few thousand times, but never paid much attention to it. The name "Specialty Food and Supermarket" left me with the impression of an ethnic grocery store, as opposed to a sit down restaurant.
However, at the suggestion of a co-worker, 5 of us hit it up for lunch recently.
It turns out it is indeed primarily a Persian restaurant (with an aisle of take away grocery food-stuffs, which I guess is the "Supermarket" part).
From a dining perspective, the double sided menu provides plenty of variety, with some dishes, but not all, coming in "half orders."
However, for us the meat kabob section beckoned. We asked our waitress to bring an assortment of everything for us to try (in both regular and spicy).
Two large platters of meat and grilled vegetables arrived a short time later, as well as a big plate of saffron rice for each of us.
It was the equivalent of the "full order" meals for 5 people - and I can assure you, it was a LOT of food.
And a lot of food is my friend.
There were chicken, striploin, and ground beef kabobs. All were quite tasty, though the "spicy" variations really aren't that spicy at all.
Interestingly, the kabobs also are incorporated into the "wraps" menu. Though I haven't tried them, something like the ground beef crumbled into a pita with veggies and sauce, falafel style, sounds delicious.
Next time for sure, as I will most definitely return!
