Laghman Express, which opened in April, offers a blend of Central Asian cuisines. As a region once central to the Silk Road, the food draws from the ancient confluence of cultures with an emphasis on meat dishes as mains, complemented by dairy, fresh vegetables, and breads. The New York Times included the eatery’s original location in Brooklyn on its “100 Best Restaurants” list the past two years. Laghman Express co-owner Babur Akhmedov hails from Kyrgyzstan, and he is spearheading the opening of the Alpharetta location.

So many Asian restaurants have all of the allure of an East German subway station. Hat tip to Guy Wong, who turns out terrific Vietnamese and Chinese plates in a setting bathed in French Colonial grandeur.
