The Atlanta food scene is full of exciting new restaurants and star-studded bars celebrities love to pay visits to. Nonetheless, some of the best eats can be found in unassuming joints considered hidden gems in the city.

Content creator Angus (@angus.reviews.food) has a recommendation for locals looking for an unusual spot that is as delicious as it is affordable.

The Atlanta local made a TikTok video sampling menu items from Bismillah Cafe, a quaint and low-key Bangladeshi restaurant that serves halal Indian food. The spot also serves traditional American dishes such as wings and burgers.

In the clip, the foodie reveals that, while the lamb biryani is good, the real reason to visit this place is for the samosas, a fried and filled pastry that only costs $1.20 at Bismillah Cafe.
