The lunch menu has 7 different meats and includes the salad bar for $15.65.  It was delicious!

Taco Veloz : There are several Taco Veloz/Taco Prisa restaurants around Atlanta.  These pictures are from the Chamblee Dunwoody store across from Woodgate near Buford HIghway.  Taco Veloz, their sister store is on Buford Highway.

I especially love the Huevos Rancheros--try the green salsa.  I also like the chicken burritos.  This place is as authentic as it gets. Don't expect the usual Tex-Mex restaurant.  No chips at the table.

Vikyhat Indian Food : I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya.  Back in the Sixties and Seventies there were an enormous amount of Indians living in Nairobi.  I enjoyed eating real authentic Gujarati style curry.  To my delight, Mr. Patel opened Vikhyat near Northlake Mall.  Mr. Patel spent years in Kenya.  We ate at many of the same restaurants. Now Nairobi has come to Atlanta!

Vikhyat (which means "famous" in Gujariti" is located on 3900 LaVista Rd, Suite #116 in Tucker--30084.  Hours are 11:30am-3:30pm, 5:30pm-10:30pm.  Sat/Sun opens from noon to 4pm.  Closed on MONDAY.  Lunch buffet is $6.95

The nan is fantastic.  Goat curry is the best I've ever had.  I love their apple butter chutney!

Right across from the McDonalds on Briarlake Road.  Go check it out!

Cafe Istanbul : Cafe Istanbul is located off of Hi 29 inside the perimeter about three miles.  It's in a little shopping cetner on your right.

They have terrific kabobs.  The decor is super cool: cushions on the floor like the Arabian Nights.

It's a bit  pricey--$10 range, but worth it.  No refills on drinks so be careful when you ask for more, it'll cost you.
