"So, just to clarify, my experience is mainly focused on the food and bar service. I know people often prioritize the ambiance, hookah, and such here. Anyway, I decided to relax and pass some time before heading to a movie, and the place met my expectations. It was a relatively quiet night, so the service was excellent—your experience might differ, though! I sat at the bar, and as soon as I ordered a Guinness, it was served right away. Feeling good, I started to browse the menu. I noticed they had a basket of za'atar bread as an appetizer. I asked for it, but the server informed me that if I ordered another appetizer, I would get the bread included as well. I quickly scanned the menu and decided on the spicy dipping sauce. After my server took my order, I found myself distracted by my phone. A few minutes later, they brought out a basket of bread along with lots of spicy dipping sauce. I was excited to dig in, but then I was asked if I needed anything else. I looked at the menu again, pointed to a rice dish, and asked for the lamb rice plate. I handed over the menu and started enjoying the za'atar bread, dipping each piece in the sauce. About ten minutes later, my server returned with some large wooden containers filled with a salad, rice, and lamb, topped with plenty of veggies and spices. The dish was good, but there was something about it that felt like it was missing that extra touch for me. I liked the atmosphere of the place—it had a cool vibe, the food was solid, and I could easily see myself coming back with a group, enjoying the music, and sharing a hookah. Definitely worth another visit!"

You can hear the music even from the parking lot! There are belly dancers everywhere, and it’s a very vibrant atmosphere with no shortage of energy. The cocktails are strong and reasonably priced. Everyone here is friendly, making it a great place to enjoy.

The atmosphere is wonderfully comfortable and reminiscent of the Middle East. Zaina Zahra delivered an incredible performance that really energized the place on a Saturday night. It’s a great spot to enjoy a relaxing dinner or smoke some hookah, or even hit the dance floor and let the good vibes take over. The staff is excellent—super friendly and attentive.

This is a great spot for food, dancing, and drinks. The ambiance and theme are inspired by Arabic culture. The staff is friendly, although the service can be a bit slow during busy times. The music selection features a mix of Turkish, Hindi, and Arabic songs. While the food is enjoyable, the variety is somewhat limited. One of the best aspects is that you can dance to the excellent music! View menu

The atmosphere was fantastic! The cheese bread and pizza were both delicious. The hookah was also enjoyable. The entertainment was incredible. It was quite busy when we arrived, and if I had to mention one downside, it would be the slow service. We had to wait about 7 minutes for our waiter to reach our table, but fortunately, the dancer and the dance floor kept us entertained in the meantime.

I visited this restaurant with my friends on a Bollywood night, and we had a great time. The seating options are versatile; you can choose between tables and chairs or relax on the floor. The venue was quite busy when we arrived, creating a lively atmosphere. They offer both drinks and hookah, along with a diverse selection of Mediterranean cuisine for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. However, I wasn't impressed with the drinks at all, and I found the food to be a bit on the pricey side. The music was energetic and at an enjoyable volume, and there’s a small dance area to add to the experience. Additionally, they feature a belly dancer (though I'm not sure which nights) who was quite ta...

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bang Bang Katsu House, and I must say, it was a great experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the staff, creating an inviting atmosphere.The restaurant's interior is modern and stylish and the decor of its cafe side of the restaurant was very instagrammable worthy with the floral wall.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the katsu dishes. Bang Bang Katsu House specializes in this Japanese comfort food, and their expertise shines through in each bite. The menu offers a wide variety of katsu options, rice bowls, and ramen. For the table, my wife and I shared the bulgogi rice bowl, pork katsu, and tonkotsu ramen.The tonkatsu was cooked to perfection, tender on the inside with a golden-brown crust that gave a satisfying crunch. The bulgogi rice bowl had a nice balance of veggies, meat and rice. The ramen was just okay, but it was still delicious and satisfied our cravings.The service at Bang Bang Katsu House was impeccable. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable, readily offering recommendations and ensuring that everything was up to par. The food arrived promptly, and the presentation was eye-catching.To top off the amazing meal, the dessert menu next door (Cafe Bora) featured some tempting options. I couldn't resist ordering the Purple Yam snow ball and it was the perfect ending to our dinner. My wife had the Taro Milk Tea and she also enjoyed it.Overall, my experience at Bang Bang Katsu House was exceptional. The combination of flavorful katsu dishes, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere made it an unforgettable dining experience while visiting Alpharetta.
