Atlas House, Sea World Area - Closed

This will be the first time I get to write a review and then close the page in the same post. I went to what is now no longer the regions only Uzbek restaurant just past where I Drive meets the CF Parkway. It's "transitioning" into a Mediterranean restaurant that I won't be trying out. For no other reason than I don't want to go this far out of my again. I settled for one of the two Uzbek dishes they must not have sold out of. It was a rather unspiring dish of steamed beef dumplings called Manti. And no they didn't have an imaginary girlfriend. It cost me $10 for a plate of eight. They were ok. I wasn't really expecting grastronomic excellence from this region of the world. It came with a really thick sour cream. Hopefully that was authentically ethnic. It's sad. The place looked nice and clean and appropriate. I guess they just couldn't make that menu work. It's basically Middle Eastern and Russian style foods (including all the regions and ethnicities that have been represented in them over time) with some Indian mixed in (ie Non bread). It makes sense. The country was in the middle of the spice route. Not sure who influenced who. They even had spaghetti/noodle dishes. I wanted a rice dish/stew called Palov (saw it on Rudy Maxa in Uzbekistan), but, you read above. And so ends a perfectly pointless exertion of effort. They say they will try and keep a few Uzbek dishes, but, the name (which means something about rugs or tapestry) will be different so I'm not sure how you will know.
