Al-Amin

Bangladeshi food doesn’t get much play in Atlanta, but South Asians know to seek out this grocery store and cafe just south of I-285. You can stroll around its halal butcher shop and sift through a broad selection of frozen fish, but don’t miss the restaurant. Swipe thin disks of freshly baked naan through a rich egg curry or an assertive butter chicken. The lamb shawarma, minced beef kebabs, and a fiery haleem stew made with pounded lentils and topped with hot peppers and fresh ginger are among the best values in town. On your way out, grab a handful of milky sweets from the refrigerated case.
