Atlanta, GA

Fresh 2 Order, located in Midtown on the corner of 7th and Peachtree, serves sandwiches, salads, soup and their best feature is they deliver! I’m really in awe of this because when I think of delivery options, I think - pizza and Chinese. The idea that a tasty Sante Fe Chicken salad, freshly made, can come to my door in 30 minutes really puts a smile on my face.

Restaurant Hours: 11am-10pm

You like Mexican - You like Nuevo Laredo
On their menu thay state - Your search for the best salsa is over - and they are totally right! It’s probably the best salsa I’ve been served.

I think the thing that makes this place great is it’s fresh ingredients. Yes, I still left with that why did I get so much, I’m amazingly full and can’t eat Mexican for two weeks. But when that two weeks is over and I’ve forgotten that too full feeling and crave the Mexican food - I will be craving Nuevo Laredo.

I mainly wanted to write about Eats because I’ve really been craving it recently.

So yeah, Eats, basically it’s good, somewhat healthy food and it’s best quality is it’s CHEAP.

This very casual restaurant has two counters to order from: pasta or chicken and veggies. The servings are very generous and this once cash only restaurant now accepts credit cards.

Located at 600 Ponce de Leon Ave - near the Whole Foods shopping center.

My favorite dish is to get the veggie plate with collard greens, switch between the mac n cheese and black beans and rice, and sweet potato - sometimes lima beans. The jerk chicken is amazing and huge and the chicken can also come in lemon pepper (I think that’s the other flavor)

The pasta bar is sort of a pick the pasta and sauce you want type deal. I enjoy their lasagna.

So check it out - we’re talking under $10 here. I think my veggie plate is around $5 - and yummy!!

My top two favorite Thai restaurants in Atlanta are: Thai Chili and Little Bangkok.

Thai Chili - casual dining, relatively innexpensive, delicious food - located off Briarcliff Rd. near the intersection of LaVista by Whole Foods. www.thaichilicuisine.com

Little Bangkok - located off of Cheshire Bridge road in a little strip mall, this appears like a hole in the wall, but what lies inside is delicious Thai food. They also have a full Chinese menu as well, but I have never ordered off of it because I love thai. Inexpensive, casual, and the food comes out quick.

I recently went to check out Blue Pointe, located in Buckhead across from Phipps Plaza, I believe it’s at the bottom of the Meryll Lynch building. This restaurant is part of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group.

Overall, it was so-so, not amazing. The restaurant features seafood and has both entree and sushi menus. My party ordered off of the sushi menu. The dishes were decent - nothing special. I have definetly had better sushi at straight-up sushi restaurants.

The dessert however was amazing and worth going to Bluepointe for. We had their chai creme brulee which is served with a lemon sorbet and a spoon with frozen honey on it to get tastes of with every bit.

For me - I think it was overated and not worth the price. Very good service, but I just don’t get how it’s amazing.

Any other opinions on the place?

Restaurant Review: Belly dancers, hookas, yummy food! - it’s Istanbul Cafe, located on Lawrenceville Hwy, appears disheveled on the outside. BUT - on the inside, it offers delicious, inexpensive dishes with the fun atmosphere of sitting on the floor on pillows. There are regular tables for those not wishing to have the pillow seating experience. The restaurant is a popular spot for groups and entertaining out of town guests. I reccommend the grape leaves, humus and steak kabob. However, I have never been dissappointed with any item on the menu.
