“ If I could give more than five stars, I would! I specifically drove alllll the way from Smyrna to Bismillah Cafe strictly for their samosas based on reviews, and they did not disappoint! I needed a batch of 30 for a student meeting and requested half veggie and half chicken. It also came with their own special sauces. The location was easy to find and I was able to pay for my food over the phone. When I got there, my order was ready to go. I was interested in trying one of their desserts and they were kind enough to let me try one. Fast forward to the next day when I brought it to my students (6th-8th grade), they absolutely loved it! I warmed them up in the microwave as advised and you could still taste the rich spices and flavors used to create this dish. I'm glad I hid some for myself because they ate everything that I put out! ”

“ Food was hot, spicy, flavorful I DID NOT want to leave. Several of the tasty treats and pastries are displayed right in front of you. Sooo tempting. I wanted one of each!!! Please note, there are three locations next door to each other. There's a market, street food - takeout only, and a sit down. I've been to the takeout, many moons ago. Decided to try the restaurant like spot. Now, it's not five star ambiance at all. But the food is phenomenal. I had a fish wrap and two veggie samosas. Best darn samosas I've ever had. And I've had my share. Homemade and not. The samosas were not just mashed potatoes, peas or chickpeas. It was the flavor and the right exterior. And it's served with a green sauce. Immaculate. Parking and driveway. Hey, it's a little rough. But again the food. Hope you like it as much as I did. Oh and the price, $13 for my food and drink. Hot and ready. Yeah I'll be back. Going back for the wings. There like a dollar each wing. ”

“ Got a beef and pork shwarma biryani plate which included a small salad. As someone who's not usually a fan of biryani plates, I did enjoy how thoroughly seasoned all the very red rice was. It was made even better with the green sauce served on the side. As for the chicken samosas, they were very dry but also almost cold by the time I got to eat them. Since this was all takeout, I can't attest for their service or ambiance but the food was good enough for me to check them out again! ”

“ I have been all over the US and I have searched for Bengali/Bangladeshi biryani all over the country. I have only found 2 places in the country that make such great authentic biryani, one is Aladdin in LA, and the other one is this place. Aladdin is still #1 for me, it is just unbeaten when it comes to this cuisine. However, this place came the closest to give Aladdin a run for its money. There are 2 establishments, both named 'Bismillah Cafe', which is apparently a result of a brotherly feud. Go to the bigger building. The kachhi biryani was amazing, and they had fusion dishes like the shawarma biryani which was a sleeper hit. Don't miss out on this place! ”

“ The mixed chicken and lamb biryani plus the AMAZING green sauce is a MUST EAT. A more casual restaurant but the biryani here is one of the few things that I find myself craving occasionally. Nice bed of rice with slow roasted lamb and chicken with a flavorful smothering of green sauce. Massive portion sizes as well!! ”

“ We ordered lots of different curry to share and I also got a fish wrap. The portions were pretty big and easy to share, all the curry dishes came with a rice. We also ordered an order rice with mixed meats. I enjoyed the fish wrap as it was pretty filling and flavorful. ”

“ This really hit the spot! I think this is probably the best biryani I've had and the green sauce just brings everything to the next level. They give you a lot of meat and it's well incorporated into the rice so practically every bite has some. The veggie samosas are pretty standard, standard being delicious, and they're so cheap. And the naan is super good too. One order gives you like four pieces. Not only are the prices pretty cheap, but the sizes are huge. We got the large biryani plate, ate our fill, and had leftovers for the next day. And the workers are so friendly too! ”

“ I love Indian food and when I say that i love this place haha!! Their food is chef's kiss! They renovated and looks so much better, everyone is very friendly too~ I have had good Indian food elsewhere but this is definitely in my top 3 places to go when I'm craving anything Indian! Love their tikka masala and their chicken biryani! ”

“ Amazing food and one of the most hospitable owners I've ever met! I got the chicken tikka curry and a samosa, and both were incredibly delicious. I will absolutely be getting more samosas next time, as they're only $1! The curry was $12.99 - the value at this place is off the charts. The owner would address customers as "brother" or "sister" and checked in on my friend and I to see if we needed anything. I felt so welcomed and got to chat with the owner briefly. He's been in business for 20+ years and lives locally in the Chamblee/Doraville area. Atmosphere is hole in the wall vibes and I love it. A local gem that has earned a spot in my favorites. To clarify some potential confusion - there's Bismillah Cafe, and then right next door is Bismillah Market that ALSO serves what I presume to be the same exact menu. We, not realizing the difference, went to Bismillah Market where it looked like most people were only taking out from. The market location is tiny and has very limited seating. It looked like the cafe had much more space and looked more like a restaurant than a hole in the wall. The owner said his brother runs the cafe, and he runs the market! ”

“ Despite me patronizing numerous Indian, Pakistani, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Burmese, and other restaurants devoted to various neighboring regional cuisines, this was my first time trying a Bangladeshi restaurant. Apparently Atlanta's suburbs must host a decent community because there are several such businesses in a small stretch. I tried the most established one. I was pleased to discover that ordering online offered a robust 25% off the list price. My GPS took me to a market with a small takeout inside, but apparently online orders are sent to a separate restaurant next door. This would seem to be a common issue, but even they seemed a bit confused by the situation. I walked across the beat up parking lot to the other building and found my food waiting. While the cuisine of Bangladesh appears to be less vegetarian-friendly than most of the subcontinent, I thought it would be worth trying their take on biryani. I was right. A luxuriously spiced creation that reminds you that this is the part of the world where spices come from, this dish excites the tastebuds. I was a little miffed there was no chickpeas or other beans thrown in for more protein content, but it was delicious enough that I didn't care. A samosa was tasty as most of them are, but was notably enhanced by a complex hot sauce. My separate ordered of chickpeas was strongly flavored and spicy as well. I got a ton of food for my money, and despite the limitations of this place, it was an interesting experience. I may be inclined to try out its neighbors before I return to see what else the cuisine has to offer. ”
