The Best Places To Eat In Atlantic Station

"This family-owned Atlanta chain started in 2012. Now, more than a decade later they’ve expanded to three locations (Atlantic Station, Buckhead, and downtown). And when we need food fast, NaanStop is the best option for a quick meal in the area. We dig the CYOA theme as you move down the counter-service line selecting proteins (like lamb or chola) and toppings (like spicy cabbage slaw and the sweet chutney). So it’s the perfect setup to pop in for a bowl filled with chicken tikka masala, and get out well before free parking expires." - juli horsford

NaanStop - Atlantic Station - Review - Atlantic Station - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"NaanStop is our favorite fast-casual meal in Atlantic Station, so we often hit it for a quick chicken tikka masala naan wrap because Target runs on an empty stomach are always a bad idea. Of the three locations (Atlantic Station, Buckhead, and downtown) from this family-owned Atlanta chain, their Atlantic Station interior is by far the most inviting. A giant orange and red mural filled with abstract shapes and shimmery stars and garland hanging from the ceiling sets a colorful, festive backdrop for this fast-casual Indian food spot. And we dig the CYOA theme as you move down the counter-service line selecting proteins (like lamb or chola) and toppings (like spicy cabbage slaw and the sweet chutney)." - Juli Horsford

Pho 24 and NaanStop Open at Atlantic Station in Midtown Atlanta - Eater Atlanta

"NaanStop, owned by brothers Neal and Samir Idnani, started out as a food truck in Los Angeles in 2011. The brothers moved back to Atlanta a year later to be closer to their mother — the inspiration behind NaanStop — and to open their first restaurant downtown. The counter-serve Indian restaurant offers build-your-own wraps (or naanwiches,) rice bowls, and salads with a choice of protein like lamb or paneer, a chutney, and a side such as marsala fries or samosas." - Beth McKibben

I'm no newcomer to Naanstop but a first time to the Atlantic Station location which uniquely offers cocktails and mocktails. In no surprise at all, the food, the service, the drinks...all amazing. If you havent come, I strongly recommend you check it out. Get a Naanwrap, get a Goa with the Floa and elevate your body, ya gut and being. Shout out to Kayla, Malaysia and the team working today! So. Dang. Good.

I really enjoy this establishment! The food is always great, served hot, and offers a wonderful variety of Indian cuisine. I have been coming here for years and have never posted a review until now, as I felt it was necessary to share my experience. The customer service is excellent, and the team is always helpful. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant; you will not be disappointed!

Tried this place out after my office moved to Atlantic Station. I haven't had Indian food often before, but I've been going here at least once a week now. The food is great (especially the samosas, yum!) and just the right level of spice. The staff has been really nice and will take the time to explain the different options. Will definitely keep coming.

NaanStop is hands down one of the best fast-casual Indian spots around! The flavors are bold, fresh, and authentic—especially the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick, even during busy hours. It’s my go-to for a satisfying and flavorful meal every time. The owner is Awesome!

Surprisingly tasteless. Naan undercooked. The worst Indian food I’ve ever had. Also, the employees had to stare at the menu to see what ingredients went into the dishes and drinks. Late stage capitalist food vendor all the way.

Starving Actor Food Review

If you’re looking for high quality ingredients made with that homemade feel, NaanStop is a place you gotta try! Their Chicken Tikka Masala, Brussels Sprouts and Masala Fries was a perfect meal to break my fast on Monday. They have amazing cocktails too! I highly recommend the ‘Goa With The Floa’ which is a vodka based drink with guava, lychee and maraschino cherry! Also, if you LOVE bourbon, order yourself a ‘Tamarind Sour’ which has real tamarind simple syrup and ASW Fiddler Bourbon. And if you prefer a mocktail, the Nimbu Pani won’t disappoint 😋 Head on over and tell them the Starving Actor sent you! 😎

"I visited NaanStop on 15th August and tried the loaded samosa. It was a delicious and satisfying dish with a great mix of flavors and textures. The samosa was crispy on the outside, packed with savory fillings, and topped with vibrant chutneys and garnishes. The portion was generous, and the service was friendly and quick. Overall, a great experience, and I’d recommend NaanStop for a tasty and quick bite."

This was our first time at Naan Stop and we've only recently started trying Indian food. The staff were okay, nothing bad but they were very bland, not welcoming, and seemed like they didn't want to be there. The food was very good. The rosewater lemonade was very different and tasty. We tried the regular and garlic naan and both were good. The loaded fries were great! Rice bowl with chicken tika masala was really good. I'd eat here again but hopefully when the staff was having a better day.

NaanStop is absolutely divine, with food bursting with flavor. The fresh, fluffy naan is the star of the show. The garlic naan is perfectly cooked, soft, and flavorful. The rice bowl with lamb is a delicious and satisfying dish that's perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The service is friendly and efficient, making the dining experience even better. The ambiance is family friendly and great for lunch, dinner, or time spent with loved ones! Highly recommend!

I ordered to go through Uber eats and was quite disappointed. They didn't even start making it until I got there, which was 10 minutes after the pick up time. I got a rice bowl with kabob, kabob didn't taste like kabob at all. I thought it was just a regular turkey burger patty crumbled up. Also it was mostly rice, toppings were bare minimum. Maybe like a tablespoon is protein and a teaspoon of other toppings. Even the sauce that they give you are tiny containers that are only half way full. Very disappointing

Great poptails, especially the Lucknow Lemonade- healthy bowl options- with your choice of protein and lentils . Samosas overloaded with chickpeas is a good side !!

I went to the NaanStop Atlantic Station location and the food was delicious and the service was top tier. I ordered the brussels, a samosa, the chicken & fish tikka masala, and the Goa with the Floa. I was surprised that everything was seasoned too perfection. My brussel sprouts and fish were a little too well done. I absolutely loved the spicy (medium) chutney. Everyone that worked there was really nice and offered suggestions. They also offer desserts and this location has a bar. Atlantic Station has free parking.

Mediocre Indian food with a twist. This food is very Modernized and isn't as authentic, but it's something quick and easy to get if you're in the area or are craving Indian food. It's basically a "make your own" style, you pick your base (rice, bowl, salad) then you pick your protein (I picked the chicken tikka and gobi cauliflower- they have other options too). The taste is pretty bland, which is good if you're not into spicy food, if you want to spice it up you can add the green chutney/sauce. I also ordered the rose water lemonade after hearing about it, that was delicious, tasted fresh and floral. Service is quick, but the day I went the staff members were running around, maybe they were not used to that much traffic. It took them 20 mins to give me my coconut water i ordered as well because they "forgot." Bad on their part. Not the best coconut water. But besides that, it was decent. It's a small but colorful interior. There's a couple booths and tables for everyone. Only two bathrooms for both me /women. They have outdoor seating too.

Average at best. It's sort of like the Panda Express of Indian, but Panda Express is a far better experience. Food quality is meh (I know my Indian). Serving size (I had a "bowl") was laughable--my spinach paneer had like three little bits of cheese. Server was just going through the paces. The dining area was clean and fine. Will not return.

I went in the other day for lunch. I keep getting these texts about a special so I finally gave it and went to check it out. The texts are a "special" where your regular size main is $1 IF you also pay full price or a side and a drink. I normally skip sides and drinks to keep the cost down but I thought sure I will try it. I had been to the buckhead place maybe 3 years ago so they have been texting me since almost then. When you walk in the servers are VERY attentive for a basic eatery. I make my choices and pay, and go sit down. I then realize no receipt. Oh well, too late now as they are fluttering all over those in line and no way now. I was mainly curious to see how this all rung up as whenever there is some type of creative pricing I try to make sure I look at the receipt but lost my chance here. There are not that many sides and I ordered the Samosa. That had to be made up I guess so they said they will get that going. The rolled nan was NOT one you could eat with your hands. It was a THIN nan and had big holes in it and I tried to eat with my hands and it all just fell apart. I was done eating and still no Samosa. The couple just in front of me both also totally done and leaving so its not like Im a speed eater. So I wait about 5 more minutes and it FINALLY comes. Total time for 1 Samosa over 20 min. I guess once you pay and your out of sight your out of mind. Everyone is fawning over all the guests in line. I had time to sample both of the drinks that did not say SWEET on them. This is a self serve drink dispenser with what looks like all home made drinks. Since Im diabetic sugary drinks are a no no. I tried one that did NOT say sweet and it tasted very sweet. Tried the other that didnt say sweet and same thing, very sweet. My guess is T they ALL have sugar but I have no way to really know for sure. If your diabetic I would just stick with water here. To do this texted special you have to buy a drink but they do have water for sale too. So yes it is nice to see staff making an effort to charm the customers. The food though is sub par. IThere is a very similar restaurant called Curry Up Now in a Decatur shopping center and if that is still there the pricing is similar and you get a nicely prepared dish of food for a similar price. There you can even get a nice picture of your food, here the food isnt photogenic, its falling apart with holes. If you get their text though it might be worth it to at least give it a try.

Friendly service and a great fast-casual restaurant with good prices. Have been here a couple of times and the food has been good every time. I enjoy the masala bowl, the portion is great and it's tasty. The samosas are delicious too. Great location too in Atlantic Station.

Build it yourself style Indian "street food". I did a regular build your own bowl with chicken tikka and paneer tikka. I added the cool and mild chutney and all the topping options. The prices are very inexpensive, and you get a decent amount of food. Everything was super flavorful and delicious! They were short staffed for a busy lunch rush, but the workers were super patient with everyone and very nice! Important to note, the naan is made FRESH- right after you order! We also got a side of fries topped with chutney and a Marsala (which was incredible). The inside was great to have a casual lunch or dinner in!

Great option for fast food that's still somewhat healthy. The chicken tikka is pretty solid in flavor, mild not too hot. The chana chickpeas were a little bland. Take away portions are large enough I could split in two. You can add a few small veggie topping options, my favs are the corn relish and cool chutney. The plain naan is good and the cheese naan is delish. I wish they carried palak/saag for a more robust green veggie option. The staff was friendly snd efficient. I didn't see samosas on the menu, but noticed them in a photo on the way out. Will be sure to try those next time I go. 8/10, would recommend.

I went to an event that got catered their vegetable samosas with a side of tamarind sauce. They also offered rose water lemonade as a drink. The samosas were huge with a soft dough and crispy. The drink was refreshing and a good level of sweetness. Since we didn't eat at their establishment, I can't attest for the rest of their environment but I would be interested in trying more items from their menu!

I was searching for something different; something I had not before eaten. I was on the go and decided to stop at this restaurant. One of the first things I usually look for when I walk in is the cleanliness of the store and the friendliness of the staff. Let me tell you, both of these things were on point! They were busy helping other people, but still acknowledge my presence, with the smile in their voice and on their faces! Because it was my first time, I did not really know what to order or how things actually worked. The young man who was working, walked me through it, with patience, and helped me decide. The service was smooth and efficient, and the food was absolutely delicious! oh! And the tea was also delicious! I will definitely return to this location!

NaanStop is a good place for quick Indian and for anybody wanting to try this cuisine out before going to a more authentic Indian restaurant. They have many options to choose from and have an assortment of sauces for your meal and Naan. I do however feel the portions are a tad small for the price you pay. You almost have to get a Naan to fill you up or you will still be hungry after the main course... This time around I got lamb and Tiki Masala. I tried all 4 of their spices and ordered the green one in Mild which turned out to be quite HOT. No worries here as I love spicy food and devoured it. NaanStop is located across from Pho 24 and Publix in the alley area where Cheesecake Bistro used to be.

Really tasty and quick. I've had them catered before and at the Atlantic station spot and both experiences were great. The chicken tikka masala is good although the garlic naan didn't taste like much. I like being able to add in veggies. Definitely recommend if you like Indian and like to customize! Good portion sizes as well

My boyfriend & I stopped by this place yesterday around 6:30pm. First of all, The customer service was not the greatest, there was a man and a woman working at that time. We got there, looked at the menu, and it took a while for us to understand how to order from the menu. Btw, no one greeted us as we walked in. It was obvious it was our first time, because we stared at the menu for a while and I felt rushed because the female worker was just staring at us and asked twice "are you guys ready?" Obviously not, because we are still looking at the menu, and we did not walk up to the line to order yet. I asked for the ready made chicken tikka masala rice bowl. The male worker asked "what sides," I looked at him a little confused, at first because I didn't hear him, and then when he repeated it again he seemed annoyed. While my boyfriend was ordering his food, the female worker seemed annoyed helping him out. We asked "what's a chutney?" .. No response, but that's fine. We figured it out ourselves. They seemed like they were in a rush, but we were the only customers in line at that time. I watched their interaction with other customers as well, wasn't the greatest. Very short, and unwelcoming. Honestly, the least the workers could have done was greet us when we walk in, or a SMILE. Is it hard to say "hello, welcome in." They could have asked "have you been here before? If not, I can show you how it's done?" I love Indian food, the food here was great, but I don't think I enjoyed it as much as i would have wanted to because of the customer service. I would definitely give this place a try again, but at a different location.

Stopped by at this place for an evening snack - cup of chai, a naan and a samosa. I didn't have very high expectations and turned out to be better than what I expected overall: Ambience and surroundings - 5/5 it's at a nice plaza by the Atlantic station, and ambience is nice fast casual Service - 5/5 serves are very nice and friendly. Service was prompt Food - 3/5 ingredients taste fresh, naan was made fresh on the spot after I placed the order. Chai was okay, not the best I've had. Samosa and chutneys were a bit on the salty side.

The food is definitely different than traditional Indian restaurants but I really like that about it. Everything is super flavorful and the people are so nice. I'm actually writing today about a woman named Carol who is an absolute super star. She's so helpful, so kind, so polite, I just really love coming here when she's here. You can tell she's a super hard worker and I'm really hoping she gets the spotlight she deserves (I think she does, I talked to her manager of course too) I love this place!

Tried NaanStop for the first time since it was within walking radius from my hotel. The service was great. The employees greeted me as I entered. The ambiance was nice as well. It seems like most orders are to go. The food was good. The samosas were nice and crispy with a good flavor. However, the salad was not pleasant. The spring mix used was old and wilted. I had to pick through it and throw some out. The yogurt sauce was old as well. When I opened it, there was a foul odor. I threw it away. The rest of the chutneys were good. I would only return if there were no other available options at the time. I would only order samosas.

The Naanstop location in Downtown Atlanta is great. I've been to that one several times; the food turns out delicious and the staff are friendly. I visited the Atlantic Station Naanstop for the first time and it'll be my last. One of the employees stopped working midway - while there was a long line - just to spend minutes explaining to a new employee about how to act in front of a regular customer. Very odd; those conversations should not take place in front of customers. That same employee also could not register what I was repeatedly telling her regarding what I wanted in my bowl. Overall, the situation was very frustrating and the food wasn't even that great.

Apparently there's a nationwide lamb shortage. So they recommended the kebab, which is turkey sausage. It had the consistent of desiccated tofu. Naan itself was good, as was the flavor. Hard to get over that texture, though.

My family enjoys seeing movies at Atlantic station & I saw this restaurant & was looking forward to trying it. Went home & signed up in their website to be a "member", or whatever you call that & was excited to go! We went here around 1pm on a Monday & were very disappointed. We initially ordered the naan wraps, but after looking around the restaurant asked to change our order to only naan..which they were already preparing...so that we could eat somewhere else. The restaurant had two people working there & both seemed miserable. The place was DIRTY! There were only 2 others eating. I know that it doesn't take a long time to wipe up & clean around the food service area. Honestly, I was afraid that we would get sick. This was a downer for my family because we live far away were good Indian is non existent & we're honestly excited. :(

Swung by for a quick meal and saw a pretty small, simple menu. Staff was quick to greet hello and food was so good! Honestly didn't have greatest expectations for a QSR Indian food at a tourist destination, but now I find myself craving to go back. Their hot sauce is hotttt, and delicious! If you're into heat, you must try this. I had the tikka masala and samosas. Ended up coming back after shopping for more samosas. Great food, clean atmosphere, fast service. Be back!

Every time I go to Atlanta, a trip to NaanStop is a must. This newest location is awesome. The chutney is so flavorful in a unique way I can't find anywhere else in the US. The award winning samosa is so great. The Naanwhiches are filling and in amazing bread. Every bit is a flavor trip. The cocktails pair great with the food. The restaurant is set up well to do some work (good WiFi) while sipping on a coconut and munching on Chaat fries (secret menu). Overall amazing experience! I did two stops on a 3 day trip.

I've seen NaanStop for a few years now and always wanted to try them but always opted for a more traditional Indian restaurant. Today, I was in Atlantic Station and decided to give them a try. I ordered the loaded samosa and a Chickpea wrap. When I arrived to pick up I was greeted by the young man behind the counter. I picked up my order and headed home. Fast forward - THERE WAS A ROACH IN THE CHICKPEAS THAT CAME WITH THE LOADED SAMOSA! Can you say I was more than disgusted. My stomach is turning writing this. I've never experienced such a thing. First of all I wouldn't expect bugs in the food, second how do you plate a to-go item without inspecting it. I immediately noticed it when I looked in the carton, I wasn't sure what it was until I actually looked closer. Thank goodness all I did was take a small nibble from the samosa which was oily and possibly fried in old grease because it just had that taste. I cringe because I did dip it in the sauce from the chickpeas. The manager was apologetic but unfortunately there wasn't much she could do but process my refund. This was MY FIRST AND LAST TIME EATING AT NAAN STOP.

I give NaanStop 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. It's good/not bad. NaanStop is an LA food truck turned Atlanta restaurant chain. The restaurants serve fast-casual Indian food. This location in Atlantic Station is the company's third location. It opened in February 2019, replacing Tin Drum Asian Kitchen, across from Pho 24. Parking in the Atlantic Station parking deck is free for the first 2 hours. I recommend parking on level P2 (the lowest level) because it's less crowded. Enter via 16th St. Regardless which level you park on, try to park near stairwells 5 or 8 (green color) or 1 (red color). Those stairwells are closest to NaanStop. NaanStop renovated the old Tin Drum space and it looks great, inside and out, with colorful and interesting murals, artwork, and decor. The kitchen has been opened up so you can see inside. The highlight is a tandoor oven where each and every order of naan is cooked fresh-to-order. The ordering line is set up in an assembly line format, Chipotle-style, so you can pick and choose toppings and chutneys (sauces) as you go. They've got a bar in the back and sell alcohol. Combined with Indian pop music playing in the background, this place has a fun atmosphere. The day's naan selections are posted next to the naan-making station. During our visit, they were regular naan, garlic naan, and bullet naan (spicy). The food menu consists of build-your-own bowls (rice/salad) and sandwiches ("naanwiches") with up to 2 main entrees ($7.99 for 1, $9.99 for 2), naan, and any number of toppings and chutneys. If you don't want to build your own meal, there's an "easy ordering" menu with entrees like chicken tikka masala and even a family meal for 4 ($39.99). Sides include samosas ($2.49 each, $3.99 each for a loaded version), masala fries ($2.49 each), and extra naan ($1.99+ each). Non-alcoholic beverages ($2.49+ each) include Indian juices and soda, housemade sodas, chai, mango lassi, fresh coconut water ("fresh" as in, coconuts are chopped-to-order and you drink the coconut water directly from the coconut), and self-serve rosewater lemonade and Assam black tea. The seasonal bar menu offers a limited selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. I tried a few items: * Rice bowl with gobi (cauliflower) and paneer (cheese) tikka masala, topped with corn salad, spicy cabbage slaw, fresh spinach, and hot and cool chutneys ($7.99) * Side of bullet naan (included with above) * NaanStop Feast ($10.99) - chicken tikka masala, kabob (turkey), and chola (chickpeas) topped with grilled onions and peppers, corn salad, spicy cabbage slaw, and hot and cool chutneys * Side of garlic naan (included with above) * Chai ($2.99) - iced, black tea with milk, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper * Mango lassi ($2.99) - mango and yogurt smoothie with cinnamon and cardamom In general, the food was good, though in this category of Indian (modern casual), I still prefer places like Chai Pani and Botiwalla. That said, in Atlantic Station, Westside, and Midtown, NaanStop is worth checking out. Really, I think the only food we were "meh" on was the chicken tikka masala. It wasn't great. I enjoyed everything else. At NaanStop, you can choose between white or brown basmati rice. I chose white (it tastes better to me). I originally wanted fish tikka masala which is made out with wild-caught North Pacific salmon. However, the server scooped it up, took a look, and gave me some honest advice not to get it. He was right. What little bits of salmon that remained in the serving container looked sad and dry. What I got instead, the paneer tikka masala, turned out to be excellent. It was my favorite of the foods I tried. Very appetizing flavor (rich, creamy) and texture (soft, smooth). I recommend it. The gobi was fine. My second-favorite item was the kabob (turkey). They almost didn't have any for us, but the stock was replenished just in time as we placed our order, so we got fresh kabob. The meat was chopped into small pieces. It was tender and savory. As for the toppings and chutneys, they were A-OK. I can't say I recommend one over another. They were all fresh and worth getting. My fiancee especially liked the cool chutney (raita made from yogurt, cucumber, and mint). The hot chutney was legitimately spicy. It's no joke. A customer that sat at a table next to us didn't realize how spicy the hot chutney was. It set his mouth on fire and he started hiccupping. Speaking of spicy, the bullet naan brought the heat. I love how NaanStop's naan is made-to-order, but the staff had problems getting orders out in a timely fashion. After a short wait, the naan we received was glistening and piping hot from the oven. They smelled and tasted terrific. If you can't handle spicy food, I suggest going with the garlic naan. Both the chai and mango lassi were delicious. I recommend both. They were premade and served in clear, sealed bottles. The chai was sweet, creamy, and aromatic and the mango lassi was cool, thick, and refreshing.

They have children working here and they have no idea what is going on. Line doesn't move for 10-15 minutes until an adult can come and use the oven to make some naan. Just a terribly run operation. It's obvious that the owner doesn't care about the customer experience.

Located in Atlantic Station, near the theater, plenty of parking. We came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. I have been looking forward to trying NaanStop for over a year and was happy to finally go. There is a counter where you order and they fix your food to order. Main items are Naan type sandwiches and rice bowls. You pick your toppings from basic Indian dishes. I chose a naan sandwich and my partner chose a rice bowl. I picked a bullet naan for my sandwich. I almost picked the Chola for filling but it looked too watery, so I changed mine to the curry gobi. So first rice, gobi, onions and peppers, green salsa. It was impossible to eat as a sandwich, too wet. The naan was burnt, rice was mush, gobi was overcooked and mush, the green salsa was OK. I pitched it in the garbage. My partner did the same with his rice bowl. We went for ice cream across the street, much better. Overall, service was sort of rude, food was very poor, all for about 10 bucks. I love Indian food, there are SO MANY better choices. Don't bother with this place.

NaanStop is a great alternative when you're craving Indian food, but don't want to pay for a pricey dinner or not super hungry for a lunch buffet. I've been to NaanStop a couple of times now, and the food has been consistently delicious. One big plus for NaanStop is how they make your naan fresh in a tandoori oven, especially if you go outside of peak hours. The naan comes in three "flavors": plain, garlic, and bullet (spicy, +$0.50). My personal favorite is the garlic naan. I've gotten both the Salad bowl with a naan on the side, as well as a Naanwich. While I prefer the concept of the Naanwich, it's really messy to eat as a sandwich/burrito. I saw a tip suggesting to ask for your Naanwich in a bowl with the naan on the side, which I'll try next time. The proteins and chutneys were also great. I love how you can pick up to two proteins for the "single" portion for $8. My personal favorites are the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Paneer Tikka Masala. Don't forget the extra sauce too! Besides those, I've also tried the Catfish Tikka Masala and while the fish tasted good, i found a few bones that I had to spit out. The chutneys were good too, my favorites being the Cool and the Medium. If you love spicy food, definitely go for the Hot chutney, it packs a punch! The sides are another story though. I've gotten both the Masala Fries and the Loaded Samosa, and I wasn't that impressed. The fries seemed pretty old and wimpy, and adding the Tikka Masala sauce and chutneys on top just made it even more soggy. The Loaded Samosa was underwhelming too, and it was served to us all chopped up and mixed into the sauce/chutneys. Everything kind of mixed together and was the same texture. Overall, solid place if you want some quick and affordable Indian food. Is it gourmet? Definitely not, but it'll satisfy any Indian food craving you may have.

NaanStop is a colorful Indian counter-serve joint for build-your-own wraps, rice bowls and salads. This place has just been opened a week from now. It is located or replaced in the same place where we had a Tin Drum Asian Kitchen right across from the Regal Cinemas inside the Atlantic Station. This would be a great place to have a quick bite before or after a movie or some shopping in the Atlantic Station. Atlantic Station gives two hours of free parking in their garage. They do play nice Indian music, mostly some old songs from the famous movies in the back ground. I would have given them 5 star if they would have been open late hours. It is basically like a Chipotle, but an Indian, and really tasty and yummy. I have had all of these and loved them: the chicken, the lamb, the lentils thing, and the Chola or chickpeas thing. It's a bit more expensive than Chipotle if you want the same amount of food. I always get double protein here, while I sometimes don't at Chipotle. But everything tasted great and I will definitely go back. If I lived closer I would put it in my regular lunch rotation. You really can't go wrong when it comes to NaanStop, if you want fast fresh Indian food. They also serve fresh Samosas and Masala Fries. Don't forget to try their awesome yummy Mango Lassi or Chai Tea. This spot is a diamond in the rough. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. There are a variety of toppings and Chutneys/sauces that you can add to your meals like cool yogurt & cilantro or sweet Apple & tamarind or medium spice of Coconut & mint or a Native Indian Hot Chili & Cilantro. The Chicken Tikka Masala Naan Wrap is my favorite item here. Definitely try their "Bullet Naan" for your Naan Wrap. I loved it. Don't be afraid to try something new, as you won't be disappointed. Their new soda machine is fantastic. Right now the available once are ginger beer, coconut soda, blood orange soda. I would definitely recommend this place if you want Indian food for a great price and value.

As a recent lover of Indian cuisine, I am very pleased with this new addition to the Atlantic dining scene. I came here specifically for a somosa because I'm obsessed with them. They make them fresh to order which is great and within 3 minutes I had a fresh crispy fried samosa. They only have one kind, I've been to a few other Indian restaurants in Atlanta that offer a meat or veggie version but they only had veggie. No problem at all. It was very tasty and came with two dipping sauces. My only drawback was that it was very greasy but its deep fried so I cant complain. The restaurant was very clean and great for groups or casual lunch. The staff was attentive and the food looked fresh. I will definitely be here again to enjoy a meal, rather than a snack. I was impressed by its uniqueness and affordable prices.

First time visiting NaanStop. We love Indian food, so thought we'd give it a try. The price was decent, but we found all of the food extremely salty - like covered with salt. We both ate half of our entrees and didn't bother with taking the rest home. Also found $2.50 for one piece of Naan a bit pricey. Ok, so why the 5 star review? I brought this issue to the team and they immediately made things more than right. Service like this can turn a negative experience into a positive one and let's me know the owners/management really cares to deliver the best product.

I stopped by for lunch and ordered the chicken tikka masala with the lentils and a Samosa. This had to be the most bland food I have ever tasted, which is surprising, because Indian food is nowhere near bland. Even after adding salt the flavor was not there. The rice was extremely over cooked and mushy. Biggest waste of money and time. I had to come back and update my review due to tasteless customer service response on top of the tasteless food.

My son and I were at Atlantic Station and tried to find someplace to eat on a Saturday night. This place is the highest rated restaurant that we could find so gave it a try. First time we've been at a NaanStop. Plus: - Very clean restaurant. 100 health score. - Freshly made naan to order! - Great food value of quantity to price. - Have carbonated water in addition to regular water. - Two gender neutral and handicap accessible restrooms. Very clean. - Indian music playing in the background that added to the ambiance. Other: - Food taste is a bit Americanized, but still tastes good. Level of spice was perfect for me, not too mild and not too hot. - Staff were newbies. They were all friendly and helpful, but a bit slow. They had to redo my naan since it did not come out the first time. - Environmentally friendly. They have you sort your trash. Tip: - If you get the Naanwich, get the naan on the side and get everything else in a bowl. Overall, very nice place to eat at Atlantic Station and we'll definitely come back if we're in the area.

I visited this restaurant not to long ago and it was very clean inside and I was greeted by a nice young lady. She recently became vegan and I was interested in the vegan options that they had to offer. She was able to walk me through the options that were available. I told her some of the things I liked and some of the things and she was able to modify my order. I ended up getting a vegan bowl with a samosa. It had rice, greens, chickpeas and sauce on top as well. It had a sweetness and a hint of a spice to it. The samosa had a nice crispy outside with a full of flavor inside. The food was displaced very clean and clear to see for ordering purposes. I also ordered a sweetened black tea as well which was very refreshing. Definitely a go to place for me when going to Atlantic Station.

The Atlantic Station Naan Stop appeals to the senses. Upon entering the restaurant, my nose was greeted with a pleasant aroma of garlic, lentils, and roasted veggies. The staff member taking my order listened attentively to what I wanted in my order. Between the light ambiance in the dining area and the taste of my chicken tikka masala naanwich, I felt transported to another country -- to India. I recommend this establishment to all who are looking for charming staff and tasty food.
