ah, buford highway. or as we so affectionately call it, la buford. miles of the finest citizens, dining, and shopping in all of metro atlanta. okay, i’m leading you on. those statements aren’t entirely true. but! la buford is a magical, yellow brick road of hidden gems like panahar, a restaurant that’s been serving bangladeshian cuisine since, well, i don’t know since when. regardless, we went a little out of the ordinary this week with the largest turnout yet, 15 of us! and i’m telling you, we filled nearly the entire restaurant and, without doubt, our stomachs.
panahar had been recommended by several of our regular attendees as the best, not just one of, indian restaurants in town. many folks were quite excited when they heard this is where our next spot would be. for me, though, the few times i have had indian-type cuisine in the past, i haven’t loved it. i don’t much care for curry or very spicy creations, so many of your standard indian dishes are probably out of the running for me. i was a bit hesitant to declare it the latest spot for nrw, but i said to myself, “hey, you’re older now. perhaps your tastes have changed!” was i right? was i wrong? well, it certainly was no applebee’s, if that’s what you’re asking yourself.
