Panahar - Bangladeshi Place

This place is amazing. The food is delicious, fresh, and you can taste the passion they have for delivering a stellar product. I have been here many times over the last 15 years and realized I never left a review. We visited later in the evening on Saturday and were able to get a table. The place was pretty busy and we were lucky to get a table. We ordered chicken tikka masala, plain nan, lentil soup, and mango lassi. Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Service was decent, there were a couple of servers working. Parking was plentiful and free. Absolutely delicious!

Good bengali food in Atlanta!! We ordered goat biriyani and aloo phulkori It comes with basmati rice, both tastes really good. We will be back soon to try the lunch buffet.

WOW! Great lunch buffet with plenty of richly flavored vegetarian options. Also got an appetizer of Puri shrimp - as delicious as it was beautiful. Staff was delightful! Convenient location to AT&T Lenox campus. I will bring many others back.

I just read that you’ve closed. I’m so very sorry. You gave us all so much joy and happiness over the years, and I’m crying as I write these words, sad that it must end but also tears of happy remembrance of all the times I was welcomed into your beautiful place of glorious food and warm friendship. I’ve included a photo of just one of the many wonderful times shared by my friends and I at your restaurant. It was my 50th birthday. You helped make it perfect. I fervently hope that we may see you again sometime, because you are dear to me and countless others. Thank you all, each of you, for the special joys you brought to me and so many others.

Shaag is delicious, always. I like to get the goat and lamb on the menu because it’s hard to find at other places. I asked about a coconut curry and they had some great suggestions. Food is always on point!!

Love the food here! For a time they must have had their regular chef out on vacation or sick but things have come back to what I have always loved. They have the best Naan bread and I have eaten from a lot of different Indian restaurants and only found one that came close. I know the food is good if even my son the "meatatarian" asks for more Spinach. Great food, great service and good priced buffet. The dinner service can sometimes be a bit slow but I've never waited too long for service.

My family recently ate at Panahar for lunch. We all had the buffet and it was very delicious. The server explained all the food to us and suggested sauce pairings. They kept our drinks full and took the dirty plates away quickly. I was very full and satisfied after just one plate! We will return for sure!

I've been to several Indian, Bangladeshi, and Nepali restaurants in Atlanta however this is by far the blandest food I've had. Perhaps it was an off day for the cook but we went in for the buffet on a Sunday which is when they should be expecting a big crowd. Everything needed salt or taste like it was missing all sorts of masalas/spices. The dated decor does not help the ambiance either. I would honestly be okay if I never go back. Giving it 2 stars as the wait staff was very attentive.

Great place for lunch as they have a $9.99 buffet! Friendly staff and great food. Small, cozy setting and they also have ability to combine tables for large office parties. Their Chicken Rezala is worth the visit! Give them a try, you won't regret having lunch or dinner at this restaurant.

Updated review: I used to eat and or order from here faithfully, at least 1x a week. I took a year off from eating here and recently came back to order 1 of my usuals along with something new from this place, but not new to my palette. The shrimp Daashang was still good, but not nearly as spicy as it used to be and i ordered the Lamb Bhuna which was absolutely disgusting. The meat was so tough, flavor wasn’t up to par, it had 1 slice of vegetable, i threw the whole meal away, wasting money. When i order this dish from other places the meat is always so tender with several mixed vegetables. The wait time to order and receive the food took some time. Needless to say, i don’t believe this is my go to, highly recommended place to go. Initial review: nice staff, food comes out fairly fast, made hot to order, offers nice discounts. I love the chicken Korma and mixed naan. I wasn't the biggest fan of the chicken tikka massla as I've had it from several other places both in America and overseas, but it wasn't terrible.
