Buford Highway has so many options. This is a great one--authentic Malaysian/Singaporean "street" food. Big space, sleek design, good service. Grandma's BBQ Pork & delicious dumplings. Will go back!
Indian street food in a cozy environment in Decatur. Explore the square, check out the beautiful Agnes Scott College campus, and then enjoy dinner here.
They also have one in the airport. DO NOT get this pizza to go--the pizza has thin crust and must be eaten fresh and fast. The fontina & mushroom pizza with hot sopressata is truly world-changing.
A cut above most chain hibachi places. Great for a party of 6+ (or 10, 12+). It is LOUD and your clothes will be fragrant when you leave, but the chefs do a great show. Sirloin steak is great.
One of several global markets in Atlanta--this one on east side. Where the restaurant owners shop. You will see (& smell) interesting things from everywhere. Great value on spices.
Arroz con Pollo = my favorite for 20+ years; paella too. Recommend ANY loc. of La Fonda EXCEPT the one @ 2813 Peachtree, as it has a modified menu & is missing many classics (for now...).
The dumplings from Gu's are my favorite. Yalla has delicious Shwarma & Hop City=Great for brews...+ many more options in a great urban space--go for lunch with a group, everyone gets what they want!
We love sushi, and it's often found in a strip mall in Atlanta. This new, pleasant but nondescript location is a great spot for a very reasonable $10-12 bento box lunch w/many fresh sushi options.
It's a splurge, and quite a way up Buford highway in a strip mall, but the FISH is king here and the food is fresh and delicious. This is the place to try something exotic--everything is fresh.
If you're looking for an Asian or Latin American grocery item--start here. Just roaming the aisles looking at things is an adventure. Great for very reasonable treats (eg, Pocky Sticks from Japan).
Can't believe how good this food is; location is odd, but if you are near the airport and want delicious Thai food (not sure about the sushi), this is the place. Visit Delta museum + lunch here.
Great for those late-night international flights when you don't want to eat airline food....a modern, serene oasis in bustling E Concourse (an easy walk/ride from other concourses). Great wine list.
