a variety of indian food items
Cuey M.

If you plan on dining here, I would suggest against that. I think there's a reason why this place was one of the first restaurants to pop up on Yelp's Take Out category. There's two tables for dining in this restaurant with no table service. Any who, I ordered my meal to-go. I placed the order over the phone and it was ready when I got there. The older gentlemen who cashed me out was very nice. The portion could be a little more generous, especially the rice. Normally you would get a 2.1 ratio between rice and entrée of choice but this place has it half and half. Also the spinach in the Saab is blended, it's much better chunky in my opinion. Also they don't have garlic naan at all or Kabobs on the weekdays.

Nann
Kandis A.

Let me say this before I start this review...I AM NOT AN ADVENTUROUS EATER!!! I can eat the same thing every day for the rest of my life, if it's tasty. A friend of mine coerced me into trying Indian cuisine for the first time here since he had been here before and raved about it. I had my reservations but decided to give it a go!! The owners welcomed me with open arms and explained all the menu items I had questions about. A suggestion about the menu to the owners from me is, that they should give a detailed description of each item on the menu so they won't have to explain the menu each time to new customers or maybe that's a way to interact with the customers. I ended up settling for the Chicken Biryani and Nann. It was a big portion but I did not like this dish at all. It was sweet and the spices wasn't pleasing to my taste buds. I did enjoy the Nann though, I order 3 extra portions. The owner did let me try something else off of the menu at no charge. He even let me keep the original order. I tried the Chicken Marsala the next time. It was better but I wasn't a big fan of it. I had to slowly eat the food because the smell and the taste of the spices made me so nauseous. I'm usually a person that loves worldly spices and ethnic food but I guess I can scratch Indian cuisine off that list. I do want to try the lamb dish they offer here but it's only available on the weekend. I gave this place 4 stars even though I didn't enjoy the food because of the customer service and the owners willing to please their customers at all costs. That's what great business is all about!!!

This place, for my room mates and me, has become the comfort food and special occasion dessert place that we all try to make up reasons to return too. It was a birthday? Oh, we definitely have to go here. Someone passed a class they were taking, we need to go. It is a Wednesday night? We have to go back. Yes, this restaurant really isn't a sit down place but there are two small tables inside (probably reserved for waiting for you food for carry out) and each time we've gone we have been lucky enough to commandeer the table on the left. We share food and get different things each time and, even though I couldn't tell you all that we've tried, everything that we have had from here is delicious. The family that runs and owns Lahore Express is super sweet. They put up with us sitting there and eating and being loud (the only way laughter can be) and even sometimes celebrate whatever brought us there along with us. There is one dessert that you must try, Shiraz Delight. If my ending the review with that sentence could express to you the sheer greatness of this dessert I would. However, I feel like the point wouldn't make it and you might be left thinking, "Well, what made it so good?" Everything. Everything makes it good. It melts in your mouth and really I can't tell you what it is made of. Just try it, ask for it warm--if you get it just out of the oven... shoot. This is a hidden gem in Augusta.

Veggie samosas
Jessica K.

I had sort of written off all Indian food in the area on account of being served lasagna at one, having really awful mild greasy food at another and mediocre service to top it all off. Thankfully my desire to eat Indian/Pakistani food is so strong, I forced myself to try this one last place in the area and I'm so glad I did! This is strictly a takeout place so take that into account when planning your meal. They do have some stools in the waiting area but I really don't recommend trying to eat on the thin crooked pieces of wood they have against the wall and take it home instead. I called in an order and showed up promptly at the agreed upon time but they needed a few extra minutes to I got a chance to take in the tiny waiting room and listen to the pots getting scraped and the beeping of the staff's cellphones going off. I took comfort in knowing that they weren't responding 'cause I could hear the reminders to check their phones going off as well. Now that being said, I was so impressed with what we ordered. In an effort to get a good feel for what this place offered, we ordered: 1. dum gosht roll 2. aloo masala roll 3. veggie samosas 4. chicken biryani The first thing my hubby said was, "Wow, those are big for samosas" so right off the bat, it looked like we were on a path to something good. They were big, flaky, spiced just right and fell apart in your mouth. I was so happy to see that they were too greasy or even needed sauce to mask some mediocre flavor like I usually did in the past. The dum gosht roll was not at all what I was expecting and that's a good thing. The meat was braised, spiced well, complemented the yogurt, and veggie mix and was oh so plentiful. With each bite I took out of the sandwich, more beef fell out 'cause it was just packed in there. The aloo masala roll had to be have been my favorite entree by far. I'm not a vegetarian and actually stay far away from most veggie dishes but oh my gosh, I would order this again and again any day. It's spiced potatoes and veggies which doesn't sound that great or special but when the right combination of spices and tender potatoes just kick your taste buds awake, you listen. I haven't had good potatoes like this since living in on the west coast and it made me feel nostalgic for a nanosecond. I have yet to try the biryani in its entirety yet but I did try a few bites and I'm impressed with the large chunks of chicken that got in the way of my saffron rice. The rice was plentiful, meat was tender, and there was a good ratio of rice to chicken and I'm happy to say that even on day 2, the rice didn't try out. :-) This is clearly a place that takes pride in their food and stick to what they know instead of spreading themselves too thin. I'd come back for a wrap and would feel good knowing it's healthier than most fast food options out there. 60/2014

Chicken tikka masala, naan and palak paneer
Kevin S.

Pretty good take out indian food. We ordered the palak paneer, chicken tikka masala and a side of naan (the order came with two sides of rice). The paneer and masala sauces were a little soupier than I have had, been still solid. Will definitely go back.

Chicken Biranyi.  Nom nom
Tyler G.

Great, friendly service and decent prices for what you get. I got chicken biranyi. Very good proportion. I loved the rice. The chicken was a little dry but not bad. It came with a good yogurt sauce. My friends both got wraps. They were very messy but both liked them a lot. It was like $23 for all three of us so that was awesome :)

The saag paneer was runny like a sauce with no flavor. I've had better off of Trader Joe's frozen entry.

See all

Good, reliable Pakistani food for when we're missing home. I feel like we always end up crazing it on Mondays when they're closed!

This is such a good place to get Indian food! I came with my sister and we were not disappointed…read more Good portions and the service was great. Our waitress was so sweet and friendly, she really made it enjoyable. Definitely recommend the Butter Chicken, I got it medium and it was just the right amount of spice. I love that the garlic naan/roti actually had garlic pieces, instead of it being like a garlic butter. The tea is good as well. No pics, but trust it is very tasty!

I was really excited about this place (based on reviews) and had high expectations. However, as the…read morenight went on the excitement turned to frustration and eventually disappointment. Before we decided to head to the restaurant I had my wife call for wait times and availability. They made it clear that there wasn't any wait time and we would be seated soon after arriving. We arrived under 10 minutes from the phone call and had 2 parties that had already been waiting in front of us. I don't mind the wait just don't be dishonest when we ask. After 15-20 minutes we are finally seated. It's cozy and intimate location but enough space where you don't feel too close to anyone or can hear their conversations. We got the menus and noticed that there was a price increase of +$5 on EVERYTHING on the menu compared to their website menu. We chose this location with cost, reviews and distance in mind and if they had price increases they need to update their website. Either way we decided to order drinks and entrees at the same time in hopes to speed up the process. Sadly it didn't make a difference, we still waited over half an hour for our food to hit the table. I would've gave more of a pass on the wait time but half the restaurant was already eating and our food came out at the exact same time as 2 other tables. The workflow doesn't look to be efficient. The food was great, bold and packed with tons of flavor. The spice was about where you wanted for a medium level heat and I was very satisfied with it. My wife's dish on the other hand was very spicy for a mild. She's very sensitive to spice but after tasting it myself I believe they added more than what we ordered. The Naan was great, the butter and garlic was very balanced and was the highlight of the meal. The rice wasn't on par with the rest of the meal and wasn't worth the price (more on that later). After we finished we waited 10 or so minutes to get the tab and when we finally did we didn't get an itemized receipt on our meal. We thought it was strange considering that meal ended up being $54 and we knew there was no way it should've been for than $45 or so. They charged us a technology fee which we never had an option to pay cash? They just stuck the tap to pay in front of us.. but the worst part is that they charged $5.50 for medium rice. THERE IS NO LOCAL COMPETITION THAT CHARGES FOR RICE. I've been to other places and haven't had this issue, even in Aiken, SC. If you are going to charge for rice please say so. Transparency isn't their strong suit here and I can't imagine I can justify the cost of going again. To be clear, the staff is very nice and respectful when you talk to them and when they check on you BUT this is a real issue when it comes to customer service. Update your menu prices and be transparent on what you are charging people.
