This office location at Koger Center lunch options has been pretty much limited to finds along Buford Highway but we recently stumbled across the Mediterranean Bakery & Sandwich Shop in Embry Hills. This little grocery store and bakery also has a hot food counter where you can order Lebanese sandwiches and plates. I ordered the Ground Lamb Kebab plate which had several skewers of perfectly seasoned lamb, a big pile of pita and two sides. I had the hummus and babba ganoush for sides. Baba ganoush was deliciously smokey. My dining companion got the lamb kabob plate with hummus and greek salad. The plates also include a scoop of rice pilaf. Very delicious. While not a glamorous setting, you order at the counter and sit at some tables in the middle of the store, it was quick and delicious and we will go back. I understand their chicken schwarma is supposed to be their best dish but the lamb was perfect.
We also tried the Little Panda, a new little Chinese restaurant in the Embry Hills shopping center. Again, a fast low cost option. The restaurant interior is clean but sparse. Lunch options are standard stir fry with fried rice, choice of soup, and choice of egg roll or wing. The unusual thing was the fried rice was actually flavorful and the wonton soup had slivers of red pork and nappa cabbage. My garlic chicken was fresh but not a wow. But the price was only $4.99. Much better than McDonalds as a quick meal option. We will be back, especially on days, we are pressed for time and money.
