Aamar Indian Cuisine

The meat was very tender, the sauce was full of flavor in spices. I could see myself eating here twice a month. The prices are also really gokd. Happy hour 3-7 pm. Nice helpful service

Food is less than average. We ordered Chicken Dum Biryani, Chicken Korma, Saag Bhaji and Garlic Naan, all of its taste was very bland. They give complementary appetizers as Samosa which was okay but other dish lacked the flavor. The biryani was very poor in taste, looked and tasted like a chicken fried rice. I wont be going back again. Please improve the quality.

In the area on business and I like to try smaller family owned restaurants. The food and service here is exceptional. Small seating area in the front and possibly more seating in the back. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Marsala and the Garlic Naan. When they seated me they brought over bottled water and disposable plate and utensils. The service was very fast and everyone extremely friendly. The food came out in take out containers. The food was delicious and generous portions. I had enough left for dinner the next day. They packaged up the leftovers and provided a clean plate and plastic wear to take with me. I highly recommend.

First, not sure if they’re saving money with styrofoam plates and plastic utensils and ToGo containers… I understand it costs money to run a business but they totally cheap out, so if you’re looking for fancy this isn’t it, don’t be surprised at the plates and utensils. They give you a bottle of water instead of tap so that’s nice. The tandoori wings were ok, but not a lot of meat compared to the last time I had them and lacked flavor. I ordered the Butter chicken it wasn’t chunks of chicken like I’m used to with other places, I was disappointed that when it came out it was all in To Go containers so if you are looking for the authentic family style glass bowls and hot plates this is probably not the place for you. The chicken was cut into 3” long by 1/4” slices and looked like carrots I could also tell it was frozen. I had to ask if it was chicken as it was so small and had no flavor, also very dry at one point i thought maybe they accidentally gave me curry. I’d like to give a better review but for the money I spent on the meal it’s not worth it. It seems like they cut a lot of corners to save some money and it shows. I spent $40 not including the tip. The service was great but they need to work on the quality of food and just buy a dishwasher.

Exceptional Flavors, Disappointing Presentation: A Mixed Bag I recently had the pleasure of visiting this Indian restaurant, and I must say, the Chicken Tikka Masala was among the best I've tasted in the last two to three years. The flavors were rich, the spices perfectly balanced, and the chicken wonderfully tender – a truly exquisite culinary experience that almost swept me off my feet. Unfortunately, this culinary highlight was significantly overshadowed by the food's presentation. I was genuinely shocked when my meal arrived on plastic plates accompanied by plastic cutlery. The rice came in a plastic container, and even the chicken was served in another. It's truly baffling to me how a restaurant in the USA, with roots in a country like India and its 1.4 billion people, can rely so heavily on single-use plastics. This massive production of waste isn't just environmentally damaging; it's entirely unnecessary. In the long run, it's even more cost-effective to switch to reusable dinnerware like ceramic plates, glasses, and metal cutlery, rather than producing an avalanche of trash for every single guest. The sheer waste and evident lack of environmental consideration, unfortunately, soured an otherwise outstanding dining experience for me. One of the service team excused („since Corona“), the other on did not even react in an adequate way. Just feels like „Uber Eats“, but worse (at home I have better equipment). I sincerely hope this restaurant reconsiders its practices. By investing in high-quality, reusable dinnerware, they could present their fantastic food in a fitting manner, offering an all-around positive experience. Until then, despite the delicious food, a bitter aftertaste lingers.

I visit Atlanta once a year and I always make sure I come here to eat. This is the best indian food I've had anywhere. The hospitality and customer service is amazing. The staff are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Lots of choices for food as well plenty of vegetarian options. Definitely recommend.

Hands down best local Indian in downtown Atlanta. The staff are always so friendly and help you with anything you need. We are regulars here and have enjoyed it every time. We love the lentil soup and the chicken korma.

When people say blue India or tabla are the best Indian restaurants in ATL they clearly haven’t been to Aamar. Best Indian food in ATL hands down, would recommend to anyone and everyone. 11/10

This was an awesome find! The owner gave veggie samosas to us as an appetizer and we were loving every minute of it. The filling was great and the seasoning on the outside was an awesome touch. The Lamb Shaag Ponir was excellent and the Aloo Daal was awesome with just the right amount of spice. We loved this unassuming restaurant. They do serve everything in disposable containers, but don't be put off. The flavor is there! BTW there were so many to go orders while we were there. The inside is small, so if you would rather picnic, go for it!

This was good. I ordered the tikka Marsala and garlic naan. Medium was a nice heat and while I usually order spicy, I was not disappointed and the flavor was good. No floating oil nor greasy food. I'm happy. Like others have said, the chicken is large white pieces. I would say it's not enough to share. I did order delivery and didn't get silverware or napkins which made things a little more difficult.

Ordered take out via food delivery app. Order was prepared and dispatched really quickly. Whole order was packed nicely in one single bag, including two lassis. I liked a lot the samosas and chicken wings. Chicken pakora was decent. The chicken tikka masala was cooked little differently than what I know. Still the sauce was really good, even two days later I had the flavor in it. Loved the lassi, came in a huge cup, sweet and thick, like it should be.

The food is just amazing. I had the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The tikka was flavorful and the chunks of tandoori chicken were just the right amount. I could have easily made two meals but I could not stop eating. I loved that they asked what spice level you would like and can tailor the heat. I got medium and it was perfect. Just enough heat to awaken the senses. The service was too notch. The servers came around multiple times to make sure everything was okay, asked if anything was needed. They endure the dining experience is great. The food comes in To go containers for the extra food that might be left. In my case...no containers needed. Come out and try some great food.

This place is a casual sit-down/takeout restaurant. There's a variety of Indian food options, the service is quick and the workers/owners are all sweet. The pricing of the food is reasonable given the portion size and the flavor of the food.

Every dish was delicious! I was bummed I left my leftovers at the hotel. The service was top notch. The ambiance was low key and casual. Just my cup of tea.

Found this little gem during a stopover in Atlanta on our way home from vacation. After a long day of driving my wife didn't want to go out so I went searching for carry out within walking distance to the hotel. I ordered vegetable pakora, butter chicken and of course Naan. The pakora was good and the chutneys complimented it well. The butter chicken was very tasty. Great flavor with a good balance of spice. The service is why made the meal memorable. The owner offered me a bottle of water before I ordered, seeing I was hot after walking around. Brought the food to me outside (where I was waiting by my choice because the inside was full), took my empty water bottle and offered me another. Thank you!

To be fair, I had takeout and didn't take any photos but they wouldn't have done the food justice anyway! I was in town for work and stopped in this little place to order some takeout. When I tell you the employees are the friendliest people ever, I mean it! They promptly took my order and let me sit at an empty table while I waited. I didn't have to wait long and thankfully my hotel was a close walk so I was able to dive into some delicious chicken curry and naan. If I lived here, I'd frequent this restaurant often! Great place!

I came here for my 30th birthday while visiting Atlanta. This was a very delicious restaurant and had was some of the most authentic Indian food I have ever had. For dinner we had the samosas for the appetizers and then for the entrees we had beef coconut curry and shrimp curry served with white rice and then on the side we ordered garlic naan.

Tried Biriyani and not sure whether I had biriyani. People are great but not the food though.

We ordered via Uber eats and the order was delayed significantly. Giving four stars because although food was a three, the situation leads us to believe that if we had gotten our food without the delays, it may be a four. Will update the best time we try. We ordered butter chicken (which my husband liked, though I didnt like the sliced white meat chicken...I'm used to chunks of dark meat). Mixed naan was delicious, as was the shag ponir. Husband enjoyed the chicken bhoona, but said medium wasn't spicy enough for him. Also ordered lamb biryani. The mild is spicy to some palates

Five stars!!! I work in the area and come here from time to time on my lunch breaks and I love it here so much! not only is the food GREAT but the customer service is amazing. They give you water when you walk through the door love them down and I just learned they have an alcoholic menu. Definitely going back soon on my free time.

After 3 days of eating mediocre overpriced food at Shaky Knees, I had bookmarked this restaurant as a place to go to for dinner on the last day. I was pretty hungry so I probably over-ordered but it was worth it. I had to try the Chicken Wings Aamar style and also ordered the Shaag Aloo. When I first sat down, the server provided a bottle of water free of charge, and were very attentive throughout (even offering another bottle of water when I was almost finished). Chicken Wings Aamar Style - these wings were delicious! The sauce was tangy, similar to a buffalo sauce but with an Indian spice flavor to it. Kinda of like chicken tandoori mixed with buffalo sauce. Very juicy, very messy to eat just like any saucy wings. Shaag Aloo - this dish was very nice, it was a creamy spinach dish with potatoes and onions in it. There was enough of each ingredient to keep it interesting, although there was one large tomato cube in it that I didn't eat (not the biggest fan of cooked tomatoes). It came with a large container of rice, which definitely could've served two people. I couldn't finish the rice at that time so I took it to-go with me. Garlic Naan - The garlic naan was pretty decent, it was more on the thin crispy side of naans, so if you're looking for a super fluffy or bready garlic naan, this probably won't be your favorite. I didn't mind it personally, but I've had better naan. Other - the space inside is small, but the service is very quick and friendly. The TV was playing music videos of top hits of the past couple decades and I actually found it quite enjoyable to listen to.

Opens late until 11pm on a Saturday which was great for us as needed a quick bite after seeing a concert. The service was super quick and attentive and friendly. They provide free bottle water. The Indian soup was flavorful had raw garlic and cilantro. The chickpea flour bites were also yummy. The main course of lentil dish was ok. It started pouring rain when we left and as we waited outside the door the guys even made sure to bring us inside the restaurant area to wait for safety.

Yo. Love this little whole in the wall. It hits hard and they are very fast and friendly.

Delicious food, cosy family run place. Staff is friendly and welcoming. We are staying nearby while we visit Atlanta and gave it a try. We chose to carry out but there is table service too. ( lots of carry outs while I was waiting for our food-- obviously a popular place!). It's a small store front but I think they have more tables in another room as a big party (7-8) were lead to other seating. We had chicken tikka masala and chicken curry. Both tender and flavorful and served with rice. We had naan and Raita and veggie samosas also. The samosas were about palm of hand size. Delicious filling, crisp at the edge and delicious dough covering them. One of the best samosas I've ever had. Well worth checking out when staying in downtown Atlanta.

The atmosphere is tight and quaint, but we're here for the food.. not the ambiance! The service is always top notch with a friendly touch with every interaction. Plus they just got their liquor license.. what's not to love! 20% off for GSU students, no other Indian downtown compares!

Ordered the vegetable biryani to go and I was very impressed with the packaging. Everything was sealed properly. Food was very tasty

I will not order food delivery via Grubhub, Uber Eats or any other 3rd party service (Period). Very disappointed in Aamar for this change.

the service was great, the food was not the best, it was incredibly oily, not well seasoned. we got the tandoori chicken and biryani and it was underwhelming. both were supposed to be spicy but they weren't. the inside was small but very clean and tidy

My bf and I came here after eating at Gus's. We only had a short weekend in Atlanta aka needed to overeat to squeeze in more restaurants! It's a little small and not too many tables inside. I was not even hungry at this point so we shared the vegetable samosa (2), garlic naan and chicken tikka masala. The samosa was huge and flavorful. I wasn't a fan of the mint sauce though. The garlic naan, YUM! So good dipped into the tikka masala. I would definitely come here if I was craving some good Indian food

Food is always good. The service is usually quick, the ambiance is chill and quaint. A for sure go to

Great service and excellent food that arrived quickly. Thai chipotle naan was unique and delicious.

This is a great spot downtown Atlanta. I love going here on the weekends to grab some veggie samosas. They also have other really good food. I recommend this place to my friends and family.

Got some delicious delivery food from here while in town for a conference. It was way too late for me to want to go out and dine so I was happy to find them. The flavors were excellent and the spice level perfect! I like spicy Indian food and they did that perfectly!

Great food in a very spartan setting. We ate at Aamar on Sunday after the soccer match. We were looking for a bite to eat while the subway cleared out. Aamar is about a 15 minute walks from MBS. Aamar turns out surprisingly good food in a tiny restaurant with maybe six formica tables.Very basic bordering on divey. But the food is great, the service very helpful and the kitchen is fast. My advice: branch out from the usual tandoori chicken and the tikka masala. The two vegetarian dishes we tried were great. One was okra bhaji, the other was aloo daal (potatoes and lentils in a curry of lovely stuff. We slo got onion chutney which neither of us had tried before and it was terrific. Add to that naan and we had a great meal. Here's my other advice: be brave and order your meal with some spice in it. The waiter said the overwhelming majority of "Americans" order their food "mild." As he said, you miss the complexity of the flavors if you order mild. At least get medium and order some raita (yoghurt and cucumbers) to cool it off. Note: - Like many Indian restaurants in metro Atlanta, the owners are actually Bangladeshi. - If the hour we were there is representative, they do way more take out business than eat in. -Two entrees plus naan were more than enough for two people. We had leftovers for lunch on Monday. - There's a discount for GSU and Georgia Tech students.

Food - Delicious! From the mixed Naan to the Lamb Coconut (that I highly recommend), I loved this place. Don't forget to try the Samosas! Yum!!!! Ambiance - Small intimate seating area. Don't let the styrofoam plates and plastic utensils bother you. The taste of the food makes up for the use of disposable utensils and plates. Service - From the time we walked in until the time we left, the staff was very kind and very attentive. Did I mention that the restaurant is open relatively late on week nights? Yes it is!!!

This whole in the wall joint produces some of the best Indian food for the price that I've ever had. If this isn't a must eat, it better be now! The place doesn't look like much, on the side of the road, serving food out of Togo containers and paper plates but not was I wrong. Everything we ordered was freshly made, and the flavors were packing a big punch! Sometimes it is the whole in the wall places that surprise you the most and this place is added to the must try list in ATL!

Do not order from Grubhub. No tracking and the quoted ETA of 30-35 minutes is 3x shorter than the actual time. Not to mention they'll forget utensils because they figure everyone will just eat with their right hand.

I was truly surprised, what an amazing place to visit. It's a hole in the wall and the staff was amazing! The food was delicious. They had really good music playing while we ate our delicious food. The chicken tikka and chicken tikka biriyani was perfectly cooked. Just feels very spaced out.

This gets three stars for being the only restaurant open near me in this desolate landscape. The yogurt is much too sweet. Surprisingly, there was no option to choose "heat" which was troubling and lo- and behold it arrived with zero warmth/heat unbefitting true Indian cuisine. The red "hot" sauce accompanying was not registering on the schoville index. The tikka masala gravy was quite fluid (as in water) not quite stick to the ribs. Edible? Yes. Indian? Nope. Three stars for speed and conscientious delivery.

First time having Indian food and I have to say it was a wonderful experience. The food was authentic and the flavor was bold, will be returning

Great spot for Indian food. I highly recommend the biryani dishes. They always ask for a spice level, which is rare for Indian restaurants. They offer online ordering and a lot of third party delivery apps. They'll give you a water while you wait and complimentary candies with the order. The staff is really nice and friendly. The mango lassi is really good too!

You can't beat this for authentic Indian cuisine and the service is always outstanding! Of course I am well taken care of as I am a regular... but native Indian diners come a long way to dine here! Everything is good but their shrimp vindaloo is one of our favorites! Also of course the naan is fresh!

Delicious sit down restaurant with a takeout vibe as seen in the pictures. Food comes out quick, hot and delicious! Service is speedy and friendly. Overall, not what I would usually expect in an Indian restaurant but it hit the spot!

I'm in town for a work trip. I ordered Aamar for delivery so I could relax my first night in the hotel. To start, they forgot to give me silverware. Not sure how I'm supposed to eat my butter chicken & rice without a spoon. Luckily, the hotel gave me one from the kitchen. The two cans of coke that I ordered were room temp. The garlic naan was stale and hard to eat. The rice tasted dry and old. The butter chicken was bland and just had thin little strips of chicken in it. No spice whatsoever. It honestly tasted like canned tomato soup with some cilantro in it. Bummer...

Great food, professional, and very nice staff! It's nothing fancy but was around the block from our hotel and decided to stop in. Good portion sizes and all the staff were so friendly. It's a tiny shop but we ate in just fine and enjoyed the Bollywood songs playing. They were doing a lot of take out and you can tell they are a well loved business. We had the lamb korma, paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. I loved their naan it was very crispy which is how I prefer mine. Loved the paneer tikka masala. The lamb korma was very good but it want my favorite korma I've ever had but still good. Wish I lived here so I could go again!

Excellent chicken tikka masala and fast delivery. A little different than I am used to, but every restaurant has its own recipe. The chunks of white meat chicken were large, it was a very ample portion. And I got one of the different types of naan, which was also good.

This place is a little gem! The food was delicious, the staff was all very friendly and it just felt homey. We got samosas and pakoras to start. They came out super quick and were really good. Especially the pakoras. We had two different kinds of naan, the garlic was best and then chicken tikka masala and chicken shobjir jhol, which had chicken and a delicious sauce and veggies. It was all super good and came with a generous amount of rice. Sometimes I run out of rice when I eat Indian food and for me this was the perfect amount. It was like 1:1. Whenever I come back to Atlanta I will definitely make a stop here. Yummmmm

Love this spot! Great customer service. The food is all amazing nothing I've gotten is ever bad. Samosas are my fav!

My experience here was a little strange. The servers were very attentive and nice but the experience was just a little weird. When we arrived, we were immediately all given bottled waters and we were confused because on the menu it said that a bottle water costed $2 but when we asked at the end, they said the water was complementary so that was a little confusing. They then gave us samosas and said that the samosas were free but at the end when we got our bill, we got charged for them. They also have a 20% discount for Georgia Tech students and they said they would apply it but on the bill we only got 10% off. So yeah, a lot of little weird things happened. The food itself was super average. We got the cheese naan and garlic naan and they were meh. We also got paneer tikka masala, a beef curry, and the tandoori chicken.Nothing was really spicy, the curries lacked depth of flavor and there was barely any meat in them. The tandoori chicken was tasty but too dry. The paneer was actually really good and maybe the best thing there. Overall, I would not return as there is much better Indian food elsewhere

Omg!! I love the tasty food. The food was plenty for two. The service is incredible and the vibes of the location is subjective to your preferences, definitely check it out.

SOOOO GOOOOD!!! GO HERE!!!! Service was fast, the food came out quick and was delicious!! I would recommend to anyone.

Delicious and filling Indian food. We were pleasantly surprised by the addition of complimentary samosa. It's a no frills place where all food is served in takeout containers but that honestly adds to the diner style experience and makes for easy take home of leftovers. My husband got the lamb tikka masala and I got the chicken korma-- we both ordered medium spice but agreed the hot might have been the call since the medium was more of a mild. The water bottles are complimentary as well.

We originally saw this place on Monday after eating somewhere else. We went back on Tuesday and it was closed. So, Wednesday it was and we were so looking forward to it. I had Shaag Poneer and husband had chicken Tikka Marsala. Food came on paper plates. It was ok and had very little flavor. My Shaag had very little spinach and 4 pieces of cheese the rest was sauce. I've not seen this dish so saucy before, anywhere. I had a difficult time trying to order iced tea. The server had no idea what I meant, and kept trying to get me to order something with liquor, but I don't drink. Ordered a mango lassi instead, which was warm like it was standing a long time. Our stomachs did not feel great afterwards. Would give this a miss next time. 2 stars for the server that really tried her best.

Bottom Line: a very authentic Indian take out restaurant that in my opinion did not live up to its hype by the stars. I have to lower expectations for others. It wasn't my favorite for a few reasons... Food: Chicken Biryani: got the very typical Chicken Biryani which I must say is FIRE. The flavor is so good. They don't tell you that it comes with some yogurt though but it does so don't order another order of yogurt. - Garlic Naan: THE chewiest and hard to rip off and driest naan orders I've ever had. I couldn't even finish half of it. Absolutely don't recommend this which is unfortunate because what else do you grab your Indian food with...forks??? Maybe I Got a bad batch... Drink: -Mango Lassi: how could they F this up...it's two ingredients: mango pulp and yogurt (maybe some sugar). What I had was 90% yogurt, 5% mango, and 5% yellow food dye (or looked like it was). It didn't taste good. At all. And I was so annoyed cause nothing goes down better with a spicy biryani than mango lassi. Final Thoughts: don't recommend this place unless your expectations are low to start with! And avoid the items mentioned above...unless I just happened to get a bad batch of BOTH of those.

Unique outdoor seating experience. Great service. Nann was fabulous, panar was great. Chicken was a bit dry, and the Tikka malasa was most definitely tomato soup with Indian herbs thrown into it. I cannot express to you that this would have absolutely been an amazing tomato soup, but as a tikka masala I did not enjoy it. Maybe try something else?

My Gujarati husband and I stopped here on a visit to Atlanta and LOVED it. We had the chicken tikka biryani (spiciest level) and chicken korma (medium spicy) and both were delicious. We didn't wait long at all for our food, and it was well packed for takeout. Wish we lived closer!!

We stopped here for a quick dinner. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly and helpful and never left us wanting for anything. The chicken korma and beef vindaloo were both decent but nothing to rave about. The cheese naan was just okay. They had sidewalk seating and seating just off the sidewalk on a screened enclosure right off the parking garage which was odd but at least kept the bums away from us.

I'm not sure where all of the rave reviews come from. Our visit was quite a disappointment. First off, parking. Previous reviews suggested to park in a paid lot next door and the restaurant will validate it/give you a parking pass. Not true, you'd have to cover the cost. Furthermore, the lot is EXTREMELY sketchy. Next, interior. The place is extremely small. I knew this going in but it's even smaller than the pics suggest. The two TV's inside were tuned to lady gaga and her extremely obnoxious music, switching later to Beyonce. I'm not a fan of either and it was just blaring into our ears, making it almost impossible to tolerate. Food: peshawari naan, goat biryani, and mixed tandoori grill. Naan didn't have the sweetness of the peshawari naan at all. I had to double check if for got a regular one instead. No raisins or coconut inside. The biryani was very greasy with fatty pieces of goat. Tandoori grill was also a fail, the only thing that tasted decent was dark meat chicken. Everything else in it extremely overcooked and only two shrimps. Food is also served in to go containers with plastic ware and Styrofoam plates. Service was ok but I felt like we were watched/judged the entire time.
