Alif Cafe

In the city for a couple of days and needed a late-night food option nearby, and I found this Bangladeshi restaurant. I don’t think I had ever tried authentic Bangladeshi cuisine before, but I’m so happy I gave this place a try! You have to try it too—and tell everyone you know—because it was so delicious! I ordered chicken samosas and got four of them. They were pretty large—about the size of my fist—and stuffed. The sauces were fantastic: I loved the green one, and the red one had a mild kick but was really tasty. For my main meal, I got the large chicken tikka masala curry with rice and a Coke. The total came to $25-something, but I gave $30 and told them to keep the rest as a tip. Service was great—the staff brought the food out, noticed I couldn’t open my Coke, and even took it to t

1. Specify the price before you order (Price is not updated on the menu. The guy will charge $2 extra for almost every item listed on the menu) 2. Specify the quantity, half or full. ( The guy will cook the full quantity and charge you for the full price if you don't mention the quantity) I mentioned to that guy that I am not hungry, and the other person with me doesn't like fish. He still cooked the full fish and charged me $20 just because I didn't mention clearly that I want HALF fish! 3. Decline every offer. He will offer you Dal, mixed vegetable while you are eating like he is your relative and it's free. But those are EXTRA $. So decline and decline unless you really want it.

The most underrated restaurant in Atlanta! The food is so delicious, authentic, and freshly-made; it's hard to get food like this in even the higher-end restaurants. Our favorite was the lamb with rice- perfectly seasoned rice with tender lamb pieces at a very reasonable price. The shawarma biryani was also pretty good. They have different specials often, and they're always tasty. The owner is a sweet guy who always gives us chai with our food. The menu may be confusing to people who haven't been before, but the lamb w/ rice is always a hit with everyone. Don't miss Alif Cafe if you're looking for a new restaurant to try!

Great quality food, price is reasonable. Authentic Bangladeshi taste. Chatpati was one of the best in the USA. Tried their khichuri with beef liver (kolija) and Rupchada fish. Both were really great in taste. A must to go place in Atlanta for authentic Bangladeshi food.

The Sunday special Lamb Shank Rost with KAlizera rice was the best! And of course, the rest of the food we ordered tasted so good too. I haven't been to many Bangladeshi places, but I'm glad this place is worth dining in. The price is also reasonable. I also like the fact that they stay late. I was so hungry and I was ready to eat at waffle house thinking it'll be hard to find other food places at 12mn. Good thing they're open until 1am.
