A colleague recently invited me for lunch at Atlas Specialty Persian
Cuisine. It is a small restaurant that also seconds as a grocery.
Heading into downtown from the west - it can easily be spotted on 1000
9th Ave SW. Extremely popular amongst the office tower staff in the
area!
We each started with Persian tea - which is strong, amber in colour,
fragrant, served in a glass cup and is kindly topped up throughout the
meal. I trusted my colleague (with Iranian roots) to rec recommend a
favourite - Kabob Sultani (19.50). This included two large kabobs -
one of ground beef and the other strip loin laid atop a heap of sunny
yellow basmati rice and grilled onions.
Simple and wholesome - nothing
spicy here, the onions, garlic and salt bring out the kabob flavours.
I personally, could only get through half of my meal, but it made for
fantastic left overs (though did leave me craving water all day). For
the next visit I will have to make time for baklava!
