For more than 18 years, Atlas Grill has awed the Minneapolis dining scene with its gracious service, warm ambiance, and signature Persian-style fire-roasted meats and stews. While acclaimed for a sophisticated and stylish menu with Persian flavor, Atlas draws inspiration from dishes around the globe – living up to its name. From their Gulf shrimp with citrus beurre blanc sauce to their Persian kabob-style method of grilling, Atlas Grill serves up items that lock in flavors for enjoyment from start to finish.
Just in time for Nowruz (Persian New Year), join us at Atlas Grill for a delicious, Iranian culinary experience as we dine on beef Koobideh (traditional Persian ground beef kabob); fire-roasted chicken kabobs marinated with saffron; lemon and onion stew; Ghormeh sabzi (seven-herb stew with braised beef); basmati rice; Shirazi salad (chopped tomato, cucumber, and red onion with lime vinaigrette); and more. Owner and executive chef, Abbass Shabazi will discuss Atlas’ traditional menu and unique grilling method, while tracing the meal back to its Persian roots.
