Global Mall

Great variety of food and sweets.
Great variety of indo pak clothing and novelties.
Very clean and welcoming.

I am from Chicago and I visit global mall while driving back to my home town, and we feel like to stop by and have a lunch in the mall… so we try chinese Dhaba .from pictures food looks yummy but when we order soup, Chinese bhel, and noodles. seriously saying I waste my 20 $ in the garbage and shity food .went for complain and owner says well if u go for movie and some how u dnt like movie who u complain u accept it right .now these is the way to treat ur guest .it would never recommend anyone or visit them again.

Global Mall is a two-​story, indoor, Indian/​South Asian shopping mall in Norcross. It’s located just off I-​85 exit 99, Jimmy Carter Blvd. The mall is home to many Indian/​South Asian restaurants and businesses including retail stores and offices. A temple is located here as are cultural and educational centers, such as a tutoring service and various art instruction (e.g. music and dance), and banquet halls and event space.
Aesthetically speaking, the building has a nice main entrance, but that’s about it. The mall is dated and feels a bit drab. It could definitely use a facelift, but the look and feel aren’t uncommon for an Asian mall. They’re just not as nice as American malls. What’s nice is the businesses are unique and identify with Indian/​South Asian culture. For example, there’s a large women’s apparel store that sells almost nothing but beautiful saris and a store specializing in cricket sports equipment.
The second floor is partially lit by natural sunlight thanks to some skylights installed on the roof overhead. The second floor is where you’ll find most retailers and the food court. The food court is the main draw for me. It’s not a huge nor impressive food court, but there are several options that provide tasty Indian cuisine that’s quick and a good value. If facing the food court, from left to right, the restaurants are:
Curry On The Go — precooked foods, North Indian cuisine, halal
Mumbai Masala — chaat (street snacks)
Dawat Express — Indian-​American fusion (e.g. burgers, pizzas, wraps)
Sri Krishna Vilas — South Indian cuisine
Chinese Dhaba — Indian-​Chinese fusion (e.g. curry egg rolls), halal
Sri Krishna Vilas gets a lot of publicity, partly because there are several locations in the Atlanta area (Norcross, Alpharetta, Cumming, Smyrna). If you have trouble deciding what to order, most of these restaurants have helpful picture menus. I like Curry On The Go because it’s fast and the food tastes good. The vegetable dishes are delicious and the naan flatbread is baked fresh. Chinese Dhaba is an interesting one. It seems to have a following and you *can* order straight-​up Chinese food here (with no Indian influence) if you want. Generally, I think the food court options are OK.
A good time to visit the food court is during lunchtime where lunch specials can be had. Order a mango lassi (sweet mango yogurt drink). It is delicious and refreshing. I think almost every restaurant sells it (and at the same price too).

I went by here with my He-​boo and the place wasn’t what I expected. I’m sure I won’t be returning. I had such high expectations because so many people had informed me that it was a good spot to go.

It’s one of my favorite places in Atlanta to have indian food. Also it has my favorite siva temple. We use to visit the mall at least once in 2weeks even though its small what far away from my house.
Best place to hang out with friends and family. They have all different kinds of indian food. like one among them is the chat and fast food center, while the other has tasty biriyani and non-​vegetarian specials. and the other is famous for its kulfi varieties… we just love the place.

I’ve become quite a fan of Global Mall as of late, I’m in constant want of some Dosa or tandoori chicken, not to mention a cold, refreshing Mango Lassi! That being said, it’s obvious my favorite aspect of the shopping center is the food court. Everything I’ve had –as of yet — has been delicious — flavorful, authentic, and tons of variety, and for such a great value (read: cheap)!
The rest of the «mall» is a bit rundown — put it this way, when it rains, you’ll be seeing a fair amount of buckets placed throughout the space.
There are some really cute boutiques filled with gorgeous, South Asian inspired fashion, jewelry, and various other trinkets and décor pieces. There’s also a grocery store on the bottom floor, which when I walled through seemed pretty bare and unimpressive.
Overall, if you’re looking for cheap eats and some beautiful traditional wear, this is the place for you! Otherwise — meh.

simple mall, good food court

Global Mall is a Desi mall. I’ve been going here for a while now, mainly for Desi events to see my Bollywood stars. No kidding. I’ve seen Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Esha Deol, Shahid Kapur, & Dev Anand here. I’ve blogged about the experiences here —

The other times I’ve been to Global Mall is to get my eyebrows threaded at Ruby Beauty Center. There’s also a grocery store on the back side on the lower level which I’ve gone a few times. They had selected Telugu dvds. Upstairs, across the food court is a movie store with Bollywood movie. It’s not longer there when I went there last time to eat Chicken 65 at Chinese Dhaba. I’ve also gone to Global Mall for the art studio, Plaster Zone. They have private classes which my daughter was talking. Kruti Dance Academy used to be at Global Mall, they have gotten a bigger location since then but I used to love going there to watch them practice. They were on America’s Got Talented!
Overall, I’m a fan of Global Mall and will continue to go there.

Typical Asian Indian shopping area. This is perhaps a smaller version of Devon Avenue in Chicago, or Jackson Heights in NYC.

Pretty simple place. Two new classy-​looking clothing stores have opened. This place also has good food, and a nice place to get your eyebrows done at. I am a fan.

Went here on Saturday for a UYE. I didn’t have the time that day to shop in all the cool looking stores, but will be back to do that ! There were maybe 5 restaurants in their food court. Our hostess, Vi, suggested that we check out the special at the Curry in a Hurry. $ 5.99, 1 meat, 2 veggies, rice & naan bread… AH YEAH! That sounds perfect! Only bummer about my review will be that I have no idea what anything is officially called, server described what was behind the glass, I pointed, and got some good eats! Cafeteria style.
Spicy Chicken: YUM! Would get it again. There wasn’t tons of chicken in my serving, but enough. I used the naan bread to soak up the yummy broth/stew…mmmmmm…makes me hungry thinking about it!
Cauliflower/​Broccoli/​Potato/​Greens Mixed Veggies in a curry type of sauce, it was very good.
Ok, now, I have no clue what this other veggie dish was called, but it was basically greens with a yellow bean, in a veggie type of broth, that was tinted yellow from the beans… YUM!
I will come back here soon! For lunch, and some shopping! Maybe, I should technically post this review on Curry in a Hurry’s listing?

I heard about this place for many years. I knew it was a hotspot for Indian spot. I finally had a chance to go the past weekend for Vi’s UYE.
I was disappointed with the food court. I was expecting to be transported to Mumbai, India. I was expecting this huge food court full of various Indian cuisine with smells of spicies. Nah, it was your everyday food court, and it looked small.
The food court is upstairs. They include:
Chinese Rasoi
Sri Krishna Villas
Hot Breads
Mumbai Masala
Curry on the Go.
These restaurants represent different style of Indian cuisine. For example, Chinese Rasoi was Indian Chinese food. And Sri Krishna Villas was vegetarian.
I wasn’t looking to eat vegetarian. I wanted something with meat. So I went to Curry in a Hurry. They had a cheap lunch special: $ 5.99 for 1 meat, 1 veggie, Daal, rice, and naan. If you decide to get the goat, it’s a $ 1 extra. It was very filling so I found it as a good deal.
The food tasted okay. I liked the Daal. But I always like Daal. I liked their okra. But their butter chicken tasted like it was sitting out for a long time. But for $ 5.99 I can’t complain.
The rest of the mall had Indian stores from a temple to Kumon. But I think most non-​Indians come here for the food.

I only go here for the chat at Bombay Masala and the two cute little temples… who knew temples in the mall?! The rest of the mall is OK. Clothing is nice but super pricey and not worth it in my opinion. Other restaurants are all OK… nothing special.

I want to love this place, but there is much better Indian food and shopping in Decatur. This mall is visibly rundown and the bathrooms are atrocious. It seems that flushing the toilet is a sin in this place and there is no maintenance. There are not enough cafeteria tables, so you may have to snack while standing. I have shopped here, dined here, and went to a wedding event here. It is convenient if you want a one stop shop Indian experience, but it is a letdown if you are in the know of the good places. If you want clothes, jewelry, and scarves at better prices, head to Mirage Sarees or the jewelry shops in Decatur. For food, you have countless snack shops and dining options in Decatur.

Another reviewer called Global Mall «a piece of India in Gwinnett County», and that’s a pretty good description. It’s a modest-​looking place but is well worth checking out. You can find Indian snacks and other dishes that you’re unlikely to find at a typical Indian restaurant in the food court, including Indian-​style Chinese takeout. There are tons of clothing stores (including one that specializes in bridal apparel), a shop that carries Indian music and movies, and a kiosk that sells herbs. There’s even a sporting goods store just for cricket.
Fun stuff. You should go.

Trying to plan a Pakistani wedding in North Carolina is extremely difficult. We went down to atlanta and went to the global mall, among other places, to find a few basics that are readily available there. We were able to find almost everything we needed including kurtas and scarves. There is a large variety of bangles, etc., from the various stores which came in handy for us as bangles are part of our gifts for guests at the mehndi. We picked up a couple of snacks from the food court area (chicken 65!!! and samosa chaat) and were very happy with our successful (and tasty) trip.

It was different… They really mean global. You can do yoga, they have a school, medical office, buy music from around the world, artwork, colorful jewlry and clothing along with food. A conference was going on when I went so they have soace for that too. I would suggest that you atleast go one tome fir the experience. Did I mention they have a furniture store?

I really like this mall. There is a wide variety of stores in this mall. The food is awesome. It is a piece of India in Gwinnett county. There are clothing, furniture, and jewelry stores throughout the mall. There is a travel company and a grocery store on the first floor. There are photography studios and artists on the second floor. They even have free yoga classes.
I have been here several times if not to just to walk around and look at the stores and try a new food on each visit. I incorporate the wisdom of fellow co workers to obtain the proper names of dishes to tryout. Otherwise, I would have absolutely no clue what to order (you know what I mean).
With all the good foods to partake of I may have to attend the yoga classes soon.
