After an afternoon of hiking at Rock Mill Park and the Greenway, we had built up quite an appetite, and Laghman Express completely delivered with outstanding, hearty Uzbek fare. Our takeout order was actually ready a bit faster than we expected, and everything was meticulously packed. In fact, by the time we arrived home over an hour later, the food was still fresh and steaming hot--we didn't even have to reheat it! I ordered the Depanji, which featured perfectly spiced chicken and flat noodles. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and you could easily tell the noodles were freshly homemade because they tasted so fresh. My friend had the Ladziou Rou, and the beef was phenomenally flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We also shared the amazing Samsas, which were packed with a savory, delicious filling, and the traditional naan. The naan was beautifully light and puffy--resembling a giant bialy but with a much softer, airier texture. Everything about our takeout experience was phenomenal. We had a fantastic meal and will absolutely be back again soon! read more

I noticed their Bib Gourmand listing and have been intrigued by their menu. Located on the back side of the strip mall, you are welcomed by a well maintained outdoor seating area . With the summer heat, it was impressive to see it all set up even on a slow weekday evening. Menu is limited and mainly meat. No seafood which is fine that they are staying true to the mission. For vegetarian options, extremely limited so probably will not return, sad to say. For my take out meal, the housemade wheat noodles ( spaghetti shape) with the dry seasoning was good. Eggplant appetizer with what seemed to be garlic chili sauce from a bottle and unripe tomatoes was unimpressive. Cucumber salad was very good but nothing uniquely special. Meh, based upon their other locations must be the tie in of the distinction. read more

Really nice find in Alpharetta. We were seated quickly on a busy Friday night. I recommend doing one of their teas. We enjoyed our Moroccan tea. Highly recommend doing the dry hand pulled noodles. The flavor is great and their house chili oil adds a nice kick. We also got the spicy chicken and doughnuts. Both were nice accompaniments to our meal. Portions are a good size and we had enough leftovers for 2-3 meals. read more

****4.5 stars**** Ahhh Laghman Express might be one of our new halal favorites!! The inside was super cute too!! This was our first time experiencing Uzbek food and culture, and we loved it! We got fried wontons to share, Tashkent Plov and the special of lamb chops. Everything was sooo good. They also had a wide variety of mocktails, drinks, and milkshakes. I got the classic mojito, which was delicious. We wanted to get dessert and a milkshake after dinner, but unfortunately it got very busy and our server did not come back for a while. When she did come back, we got the check. Hope to try their napoleon and snickers milkshake next time! Overall had a good experience read more

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. read more

Laghman Express - Dry noodle with chicken - Halal Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Atlanta's first Uzbek restaurant! It's my first time trying Uzbek cuisine, I'm `pretty impressed! They are known for halal dishes and hand-pulled noodles, i really like Guyurou Laghman and Dapanji Noodles. The fried manty is a must-try for lamb lovers. read more

Laghman Express is absolutely amazing! This was our third time coming here, and somehow it just keeps getting better every single visit. Today I tried the Dapanji noodle dish paired with a fresh cucumber salad--both were incredible and full of flavor. The pomegranate tea was truly mind-blowing and something I'll be craving again soon. We also had the wonton soup and lamb shank soup, and wow... both were completely off the chain. Rich, comforting, and perfectly made. Everything about this place--from the food to the experience--has been consistently outstanding. Easily a 10 out of 10. We'll definitely be back again and again! We travel all the way from Stone Mountain, GA read more

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! read more

This is our second time eating here and honestly it's the best food we have had in Alpharetta. Every dish we have had here is exceptional. It's fresh and you can taste every bite! We love the tea service Everyone is so nice here. Our waitress whom we have had twice is so sweet. She explains all the dishes to us as we have never eaten this food from this region of the world. We love the eggplant dish! Like you want to lick the dish. The dumplings steamed are incredible. The cucumber salad is fantastic. My boyfriend had a noodle dish and I had a chicken kabob which was tender and flavorful! Chicken!! The seats are comfortable and you can have a great conversation with friends. It's our new favorite! read more

The chain is from Brooklyn NY and it did not disappoint, meat lovers paradise read more

First visit to Laghman Express and it did not disappoint! In researching the restaurant, we learned that it serves traditional Uzbek/Uyghur dishes, all meat served is halal, and no alcohol is served. Known for Laghman (hand pulled noodles), Plov (rice pilaf), Manty (dumplings), and Kebabs. We tried the Guyurou Laghman and Manty dumplings. Both were fresh and so flavorful. We will definitely be back to try the Plov, Kebabs and other delicacies! read more

My friend and I arrived on a busy Friday evening and everyone was so kind and hospitable. It was our first time and our first time at a Uzbek restaurant, so our server took the time to explain the menu and a few popular dishes. Everything tasted great -- noodles and dumplings had a nice bite to them. You can tell they were made fresh. Everyone was so proud of serving their food and sharing their culture with newcomers. Everyone was so welcoming. We'll definitely be back. read more

Guyurour laghman recommended was spot on with deep umami from the tomato and spices, a great gateway to start your venture into the Central Asian cuisine. Remind you of the Uyghur noodles that Northern Chinese cuisine displays as their own. That doughy, uneven cuts of noodles proved it was handmade. Definitely will revisit as long as I am in the area. Good job, oila! read more

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! read more

UZBEK restaurant? I don't believe I've ever been to one. The food had a similar flair to some of the Persian dishes. But not the same. The food reminded me of some other places and cultures, but not the same. This was a real treat. We will be back. The service was beyond incredible. And the restaurant is super cute and designed so cozy- modern bistro and it's super clean. If you like trying new restaurants, I highly recommend this place. And did I mention the price for the meals are very reasonable and the portions are large? read more

Ate here with my family and everything tasted amazing. You can tell the food is high quality and homemade. The Moroccan tea was delicious, and the honey cake had incredible flavor. Great service too. Our waitress took the time to explain the menu, which made the experience even better. Amazing flavors and amazing food overall. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Laghman was recommended by a neighbor that travels the world. He asserted that this was one of the most authentic representation of the region. We were greeted and welcomed at the door.

This is my favorite place for Lagman. The noodles taste fresh and handmade, and the broth is rich and full of flavor. The meat is tender and perfectly seasoned. The staff members are very friendly, respectful, and attentive. They make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant is always clean and well organized, including the tables and dining area. It truly reminds me of authentic Central Asian food.

This restaurant may actually have a future, but I will hold off on visiting it again for a few long month. The food itself was well prepared, noce spices and good portions. But that's where the good things ended. 1. If you are wearing heels please be careful, wooden patio has cracks in in good enough to become a trap. My wife got stuck in it immediately. 2. Menu is really confusing. The dishes are strange and unusual but there is no explanation of what it is. This looks like a combination of middle eastern and chinese with limited number of items from each of those two cousins. 3. The orders may be traditional for Uzbekistan, but different from how it is actually structured everywhere else. Some of the the main courses come with sides (some starch and bit of veggies) but some of them served practically with nothing but a few slices of raw onion. You probably have to order them separately from the list of "appetizers" (!) or "salads" (?) or "noodles & rice" sections but you only realize that the dish is naked at time the dish is served so it is too late in all practicality. 4. The orders for the group were served with no particular order (probably at the time when they were prepared) so plates were delivered on three different occasions with pretty long pauses in between. 5. Some of the "stars" in the already limited menu were not available to order. We were seated at 6PM on Saturday and uzbek style plov we came for was not available. Restaurant was not too busy but, according to the server, they "ran out" of plov. read more

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. read more

I am born and raised in Kyrgyzstan. I have to say, food at this place tastes amazing. Ambiance is very authentic, it made feel at home without a long flight. Serice is on point, very home like, nobody bothers you 1000 times while you eat, which I hate when going to any American restaurant. People are polite and food came out quick. Love the selection of teas as well. I've been here a few times already and will keep coming back. Big thanks to the owners, you are doing it right. read more
