Laghman Express

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with fresh flowers and a very clean environment. The open kitchen is a nice touch, as you can see the chefs working carefully and keeping everything spotless. The food was delicious, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Everything came out quickly and hot, which made the whole dining experience even better. The staff deserves special praise — they are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, yet never intrusive. The service felt genuine and respectful. Another great point is the spacious parking area, which makes visiting the restaurant very convenient. Overall, this place combines tasty food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for both comfort and quality.

When we moved to Georgia, there were no restaurants of this level here. In New York, we had many, but Georgia was the first one where we found such amazing service and food of the highest quality — everything was delicious, portions are big, and prices are very budget-friendly. Our waitress, a young lady named Alsu, was just incredible! 🌟 Her professionalism, kindness, and the way she took care of us were truly outstanding. Very nice, very attentive — she made our experience so special.

This place was one of the best experiences I had in Atlanta. I went with my family so I was able to try various different items. Everything is done with really great ingredients and the food is full of flavor. Favorite things: dumplings, Moroccan tea, and the noodles (!). The noddles are something else, homemade and spiced to perfection. I also recommend getting the cucumber salad.

First of all, it is one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever seen. It was a feast of Uzbek food for me. The food was great. It was cooked to perfection, there was no excessive spice. Especially the pilaf was the best meal I have had in a long time. Lagman, Shamsa, salad, everything was delicious. Especially the compote served was both delicious and healthy, made from seasonal fruits. Finally, honey cake and green tea. It is definitely a place to go and eat with food.

Had such an excellent time here! First time having proper Uzbek food and it was so delicious. Do not skip the dry fried noodles when you come! Huge shoutout to Al, our server. Patient, kind, and very helpful with our group. We hope we get served by Al again next time!

Delicious food. Do not miss the Manti. AL was our server and it was great. Noodles are home made and very special. Highly recommend.

Food was good at this Central Asian restaurant. I wouldn’t call it extraordinary, but it tasted good. We ordered the Guyurou Laghman and the Shawarma Lamb. I took home half of the shawarma, and I wouldn’t suggest taking food home, once reheated it wasn’t as good, and it was also a bit too salty. The atmosphere was really nice, with quality chairs and tables. The servers were friendly and very helpful. Our server, Larissa, who was Uzbek herself, gave us some insider insight. If you go there, take a little walk around the seating area and check out the wall decorations, artifacts, and photos. They’re worth as much as the food, giving you a chance to learn a bit more about another part of the world.

Uzbek and uyghur inspired cuisine. Exceptional service, very relaxing ambience. We love the NYC location and wanted to try/ visit this location. Luckily came to Atlanta for vacation and taste tested - both places are equally delicious. I tried so many laghman places - if we approved believe me its THAT GOOD! Totally recommend getting fried noodles (laghman), fried dumplings (chuchvara), naan (lepeshka) and Morrocan tea. We always don’t get to order any deserts because we got stuffed with food))

The food was amazing and the servers were kind and accommodating. The restaurant itself is a wonderful environment. It looked really clean and well decorated.

Lots of open space parking available. Outdoor was very cute with the white table cloths and pretty flowers. They had a fan with mist on outside which doesn't settle well with the white cloth table setup. Coming in there was no receptionist standing at the desk but someone approached promptly with a smile. Inside was well lit and clean. I felt like I walked into Central Asia. Food was amazing , limited selection but that's not going to stop me from coming back and introducing others to the first central Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The bread was unforgiving, salad hit the refreshing spot and the meat was well cooked. Service was alright, they could tighten up a bit maybe pour glass of water, check up on the customer sooner than later. If you're into trying new cultural cuisine, this should be your first stop. I could see this turning big. Congrats on the opening!

One of my Uzbek co-workers took a bunch of us here for lunch, and we had a really good experience. The space looks small from the outside, but it's quite large inside. They've done a nice job of making a modern decor. They start out the meal with complimentary rolls, which were very tasty. For my lunch, I tried the dry noodles were chicken, and I really liked that dish. They made their noodles in-house every day. The dish didn't have any spice to it, but there is a very good spicy oil you can sprinkle on top. There is a varied menu, and my Uzbek co-worker said the dishes are authentic. The only other location of this restaurant is in Brooklyn, so I think it's pretty cool they chose Alpharetta to open in. Service was great also, and there is plenty of parking in the shared lot.

We like the ladziao rou the best. Overall their meat dishes are great - very flavorful. The cucumber salad is more like large slides of cucumber vs what the name suggests "smashed", but flavor wise it is good. It came out last, so we took it home and chilled it in the fridge for a day. The next day, the cucumber absorbed all the sauces and it tasted even better. The dry fried noodle is not too memorable, just a typical Chinese stir fried lomien.

A wonderful experience, no rushing, very friendly and helpful service. The food was delicious, we had dry fried noodles and the honey cake. The most outstanding was the moroccan mint tea, it had citrus and other fruits in it and was outstanding!

Such a great add to the ATL metro area! I love Uzbek food (one of my favorite cuisines), so I was so excited to hear a new place opening up! Laghman Express delivered The interior is really clean, bright, and nicely decorated with lots of seating. We tried the dry fried noodles, spicy chicken (surprisingly tender and flavorful!), and the samsa (beef was soooo tender). Absolutely delicious food - a great balance of spices like cumin and black pepper with good seasoning. Nothing we tried was super spicy, rather just well flavored. They did offer chili oil on the side to add spice if you wish. As an establishment opened just over a week ago, as expected there were some issues with service. However the staff is super friendly and seems to be trying their best, so I'm sure there is a learning curve still in progress. Hope to be back to review again!

Just when you start thinking everything tastes the same, central Asian cuisine shows up. This is Laghman Express' second location, coming out of Brooklyn. Why Alpharetta? I dunno, but I'm grateful to be able to try something new. With the name Express you probably think fast casual. It's not. It's full service. The cuisine varies with great range and flavor. Some things like the spicy lamb is spiced very well, but others were a little bland like the lamb schwarma. The dumplings and Laghman noodle soup were tasty. I'm looking forward to trying other stuff like their fish. Can't say enough good things about the seating. Super comfortable and modern. They run the bill table side so eating with a group is super convenient. Gotta check this place out!

Sixteen of us stopped tonight for dinner. Even though we thought they knew we were coming, they didn't. Space was quickly provided in their outside dining area - which was very pleasant. Several of us needed boxes to take our leftovers home. Service was excellent! A variety of drinks were ordered, while several of us drank water. Numerous chicken, lamb, and beef dishes were on the menu along with several vegetable choices. Central Asian cuisine was well received!

Had a lunch with few friends and food was amazing. The tea was great. We tried several dishes and all of them were just perfect alhumdulillah Restaurant is clean and very friendly staff and owners.

If you're craving an authentic taste of Central Asia without the 14-hour flight, Laghman Express in Alpharetta is an absolute gem! What We Tried: Crispy Eggplant Salad - Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Lamb Soup - Comfort in a bowl. A fragrant, clear broth filled with tender lamb, carrots, and herbs. It was the perfect start to our meal . Mixed Grill Platter - A carnivore's dream. Juicy lamb kebabs, chicken, and beef, all perfectly grilled. The addition of sautéed vegetables and fresh onions elevated the dish beautifully. Tashkent Plov: Absolutely outstanding! The rice was fragrant and fluffy, with tender beef, sweet carrots, and a delightful mix of spices. The green onions added a fresh crunch. A must-try. Dumplings: They were soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. Ambiance & Service: The setting is casual yet charming, with warm hospitality that makes you feel like family. The food presentation was rustic and beautiful--especially the mixed grill served on a carved wooden platter. Highly recommend: everything is delicious but my favorites are Tashkent Plov, crispy eggplant, crispy chicken dry noodles.

What a gem this place is! Delicious food, clean, bright and open feel to the restaurant and impeccable service. We will definitely be back!

Wow. such an inviting cheerful environment. the green and cream colors are just beautiful. the outdoor seating was perfect. the food UGH. we had their lulu kebab, SO juicy and flavorful. their dry noodles were my fav, their spicy noodles were also a win. we had their ladziao rou, a stir fry meat dish basically. their stir fried lamb with chili was another one of my favs. their naan is incredibleeerr. OH AND THEIR WONTONS. we had their steamed ones but i would DEFINITELY go back for their fried ones. my only complaints would be that since we did go at a rush time the food was coming very slowly. but the owner came around and apologized which i found so humble and awesome. he said that if we came before 5 we would get no rush at all. so there's a tip. they have amazing bathrooms, and a small area for prayer. love and will DEFINITELY go back.

Second time at this restaurant just so we could have plov and it did not disappoint. Get the plov!!!! Delicious! While you're at it get the seabuckthorn tea because my entire table loved it. I'm so happy this place is open.

Nice new restaurant in Alpharetta. Service and food were exceptional. First time having Uzbek food, but will definitely be back. Started with the fried eggplant and tomatoes with citrus chili dressing. Had a samsa while waiting on entree. Wife ordered a pitcher of Moroccan tea. Had the cumin fried lamb as the finale. Everything was really good and would eat again. A little off the road, so you would never find it by accident. Larisa was our server and is highly recommended.

I've been here twice and had similar experiences both times. Walking in, it feels like there's no real reception area, no welcome, but they have the space to make this happen. They are very busy during peak times, so plan on a short wait. The service is friendly and good. The menu is very limited for a restaurant of this type. I would like to see more soups and salads selections, maybe some green borscht. The quality of the food is good, but the freshness is hit and miss, I'll explain. If you order Samsa, it could be fresh or it could have been sitting out, ready to serve for awhile. I'm sure they do this to improve the speed of service, but I prefer ALL my food be fresh made, when I order. This is the same for anything baked or fried, hit or miss. The cold selections are good and have authentic flavor, best part of the menu. The kabobs are good, but not great, which is a big letdown. The pieces of meat need to be bigger and cooked slower. I think this menu is built for speed instead of comfort. I know they want everyone to enjoy their food and experience their restaurant, but if they just slow down a little bit, I think everything would improve. They're okay now, but they could be great. I really want them to succeed and be the best restaurant, because there are no other restaurants like this in the area. I'll update this when I see a change. I forgot to take more pictures, but here's a couple.

My experience tonight was awful. The first time I came here service was the reason I downed my stars but tonight.... The food was terrible. It wasn't that busy so it really didn't make sense but the rice was cooked in some weird stale butter/oil it was TERRIBLE. I got home and immediately felt like I needed to yack. The lamb dish was WAY too chewy. Everything was disgusting. Super disappointed, won't be returning here.

Went to is Uzbec central Asian Halal restaurant that has recently opened in Alpharetta. The food was busting with flavors, the cumin lamb and the dry beef noodles were amazing, the service was quick and very nice cute ambiance. I would definitely recommend this place, although Atlanta had a bunch of international cusine this is the 1st Uzbek restaurant here. The chain is from Brooklyn NY and it did not disappoint, meat lovers paradise

One of the worst food experiences I've had in years. Not only was the bread stale and the service kind of clueless, but my dish never arrived after almost an hour of waiting. The waitress brought out a basket of lukewarm stale doughnuts while I waited and then told me that if I was willing to wait another 15 minutes, I could have my meal. And then we get the bill and we were charged for everything. Yeah, no thank you. Avoid at all costs.

So delicious!!!! 10/10 recommend we all loved our foood! So flavorful!! I will be coming back and bringing more friends.

Every dish was bursting with flavor--absolutely delicious. Service was prompt, professional, and made us feel truly welcome

Excellent food - quality is top notch. Highly recommend the dry noodles very flavorful. They do get a bit crowded so I'd recommend a reservation. We got take out and it was efficient. It was also raining so I went to pull my car closer and the host/owner ran out to my car with my order so I wouldn't have to get out again. Very nice and thoughtful!

I really enjoyed the eating experience here today. The ambience was very pleasant and especially clean. Service very good, but most importantly the food is excellent. 6 stars if I could. Thank you for the delicious meals for my family.

Truly authentic and tasty Plov!!! Great Laghman. I did not like Samsa, they need to improve it!

Amazing food, very authentic atmosphere and excellent customer service. I will come back.

Great food. Excellent service and welcoming staff. We will try the teas and shakes next time.

I went there for lunch and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of both the food and the service. The restaurant was spotless, and the ambiance was excellent.
