ATL Pakka Local

Amazing restaurant!
Beautiful ambiance, excellent service, and delicious food — what more could you ask for?

We came as a large group of 15+ people and were warmly welcomed and seated by the staff. We started with appetizers like Chicken 999, Chicken Kabab, Shrimp Fry, Pomfret Tandoor, Crispy Pepper Corn, Cauliflower Manchurian, Chicken 65 Biryani, Chicken Dumplings Biryani, and a few more items.

Everything tasted really good. The Chicken 65 Biryani was just okay — the rice was a bit too dry — but the Dum Biryani was excellent. Pompret could have been better with more flavor but its ok, not bad. All other dishes were delicious.

Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

DO NOT GET THE DIRTY MANGO LASSI!!!

it’s a regular overpriced mango lassi they scam you.

Food was not fresh and very average.

Good noodles, appetizers. Drinks are expensive.

Not good service for

Visited for the first time and ordered a Paneer tikka burger and Paneer tikka pasta. Both dishes did taste good, but they could’ve made the burger a lot more better.

I expected a paneer patty of sorts but there was about 2 slices of paneer which LOOKED marinated. The burger kept falling apart and I couldn’t hold it together from the very first bite. There was a lotttttttttt of sliced red onions which made the taste more pungent and directed away from the Paneer tikka which should’ve been the star of the dish. There were few slices of red pepper, green pepper, tomatoes and cabbage, but, they could’ve balanced the veggies a whole lot better. On a more positive side, the fries tasted really good. And I lovvvvved the Paneer tikka pasta which my friend ordered :)

Bottom line - Not much choice for vegetarians on their Fusion menu and could totally improve the quality of their current vegetarian menu.

This probably has to be the best Indian fusion restaurant in the Metro Atlanta area. Such a wide variety of options (decent Vegetarian choices) and very exciting combinations. Pricey but delicious.

THE FOOD:
We got a plate of Paneer Tikka burger and Paneer Tikka Alfredo Pasta. We went with medium spice option for the pasta and it was good. The sauce was excellent and this fusion was really good. Although I felt the Paneer could have been cooked better or soft, felt so bland and rubbery at times. Could have been marinated or the paneer itself could have been a tad better. The Burger comes with fries on the sides. The Paneer was not deep fried and felt like the kebab paneer. The sauce or the flavors were excellent in this burger. But the biggest downside being the burger just falls apart as you start to eat. Could have been stacked better. Comes with a lot of onions but I would pick this over Pasta. It’s very pricey and we get a good amount of portion, but still I feel something’s missing for this price. They do have a dessert section but most of the items are not available (Shahi Tukda is what we asked for). Decent beverage (non alcoholic) section as well.

AMBIENCE & SERVICE:
A very dimly lit restaurant with a typical bar-restaurant mood and setting. It has got some loud music (bar vibes again) with so many TV screens to keep you occupied. Wait time is less though. Interestingly an automated robot gets your food served at your table. The service was good and prompt. The restroom was clean as well. Literally no crowd at all at 8PM on a Friday night. Highly surprising for an Indian restaurant but yes they are open until late night.

BOTTOMLINE: A very interesting restaurant to try probably if you are into fusions especially Indian flavors in American, Italian or Mexican food. Worth a try for sure. So many options on menu but wish they could have them available if not take them off the menu. On the expensive side of things. And also for vegetarian I wish they could have few more options than just having Paneer Tikka related items mostly.

Very dirty kitchen. No sanity. Raw food on the floor. You would not eat if you had seen it yourself. Sorry I wasn't allowed to take a picture

I don't know how they earn their business. I called and wanted a small potion of chicken biryani spoke to the guy on the phone it was $15 cash. I go there they have no idea of the phone call but took the $15 and gave me a biryani. Cool. Opened it, full of rice and literally 1 piece of a drum stick so I called them back, they were like Yes you a small potion ok hiw is the normal $18 and you get 2 pieces. Lol. Man hands to Biryani Pot. They run things as for this place. Good luck!

The chicken lollipops were the best part of our meal. We asked them to make it extra spicy, and they definitely done well! The biryani was okay, but not the best we’ve had. And the mandi was disappointing. It looked great, but the taste wasn’t what we expected from a mandi.

Not worth the hype! The food was below average, and the service was the worst. They didn’t even bother to serve water or check if we needed anything. Every time, we had to chase them to get something or place an order. They added an extra 18% service charge for such poor service, which was removed only after we pointed it out.

Definitely not coming back!

I recently hosted my son's birthday party at this restaurant, and it was an incredible experience. The food (buffet) was exceptional, offering a perfect balance of spicy and non-spicy dishes, ensuring that everyone found something they loved. The flavors were truly authentic, and our friends praised delicious foods. On top of that, the owner was very approachable and made sure everything went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or meal to celebrate such a special day. Highly recommend!
