Fast Break: Atcha Bakery

Baton Rouge has a surprisingly abundant number of options when it comes to good Greek and Lebanese food, but few are as quick and easy on the wallet as Atcha Greek & Lebanese Cuisine. Situated at the corner of Nicholson Drive and Aster Street (Map it!), this LSU favorite prepares authentic cuisine as speedy as it is tasty.

The no-frills menu offers up the usual suspects: stuffed grape leaves, moussaka, gyros and more. But there’s no need to get fancy for Atcha to still impress.

For just $6.99, the chicken shawarma plate comes with a mountain of juicy roasted chicken, feta salad, rice and a generous portion of hummus and pita bread. A single plate should be enough to fill the average diner up at lunchtime with plenty to spare for a dinner of leftovers or an afternoon snack. Visit Atcha’s website or call 383-PITA to place an order.—Kaci Yoder
