Laghman Express

Hand-pulled noodles, kebabs, and plov: halal Central Asian cooking

Laghman Express in Alpharetta serves halal Central Asian cooking with Uzbek and Uyghur roots: laghman made from hand-pulled noodles, manty dumplings, samsa, plov, kebabs, and fresh naan. The recipes are traditional, the ingredients are fresh, and the entire kitchen is halal. The restaurant welcomes guests in the dining room, prepares takeout from online orders, caters events, and hosts private celebrations.

The menu is built around dishes that Central Asian families cook for a shared table:
- Laghman: springy hand-pulled noodles in a rich broth or stir-fried in a wok with vegetables and meat
- Manty: large steamed dumplings made from thin dough, filled with meat or pumpkin
- Plov: fluffy rice with cumin, slow-cooked lamb, and sweet carrots
- Kebabs and grill: lamb, beef, chicken, lula kebab, and salmon, plus lamb chops
- Beshbarmak: an ancient nomad dish of wide strips of homemade dough in a hearty broth, served with boiled meat and onion sauce
- Starters and baked goods: samsa, baursak, naan fresh from the oven, wontons, soups, shawarma, and fresh salads

Office lunches, family celebrations, birthdays, and business gatherings are covered by catering and separate private events. An order can be placed online and picked up at the restaurant, and a table can be reserved in advance. The restaurant sits in the northern part of the metro Atlanta area, and portions are made for sharing around the table.
