Another amazing culinary experience at Persis. We are always warmly welcomed in by the friendly staff and invited to take a seat. We choose a table with a view of the Indian cooking channel. We order Rupee beers, onion & chili salad, and the vegetarian appetizer sampler. Our mains consisted of kormas & Chittenhad (sp?) & chili Naan. YUM!!!! Too much food...but always makes for a fantastic lunch the next day!

Came here couple years ago to celebrate girlfriends' birthdays and had the most wonderful experience. I just hate going out that way and tend to stick to something closer... today, I decided to take my hubby there and now he's hooked and he is now willing to drive me out there anytime I want! Food is amazing and the service is stellar! Our server went above and beyond and spent a few minutes with us to give us some recommendations and made sure all was up to our standards.

Aloo Tikki Chaat

Recommended to me as the star of a surprisingly robust Augusta-area Indian restaurant scene, this place produced excellent food. I noted that they had one table open, but cleared a separate one off for me, which I soon realized was to get me farther away from a very noisy toddler. Thoughtful of them. I was a bit disappointed that their South Indian specialties were not available, but found enormous variety on the menu and settled on some classics, including an aloo tikki chaat and a kadai bhindi. My fried potatoes and chickpeas were viciously spicy (which is what I asked for) and covered in delightful little sev (chickpea noodles). One shouldn't make a habit out of eating an entire appetizer at an Indian place (they're usually quite filling), but for one this delicious, I found a way to finish it. My okra was freshly cooked and garnished and if anything, less spicy but still delicious. A window to the kitchen in back and two monitors playing different food channels focused the mind on gustatory pleasures. Besides common Indian dishes, they also had an Indo-Chinese selection, and (hopefully on most days) South Indian lentil-based creations like dosai and idli, as well as some other more esoteric options. I bet most of them are just as good as what I got, judging by the surrounding tables.

Persis never disappoints! As someone who lived in Hyderabad, Persis is my favorite Indian restaurant in Augusta because it reminds me of my former home city and has great food & service to boot. Always get the roasted papad to start your meal, and if you want something hearty for another day, get the biryani for home! They do a great job building flavors and spice profiles.

Korma chicken

A couple of my friends were visiting Augusta, and they decided to come here for a Friday dinner. When we pulled up to the parking lot, we were pretty underwhelmed by the outside appearance, but when we opened the door, the scent of Indian spices burst through. We saw a pretty busy place with super friendly staff, but they were still able to accommodate our party of 6. The service was very attentive and joking, which adds a great deal of charm to this restaurant because it shows that they love working here and interacting with the customers! We were given some pitchers of water to refill our cups whenever we needed to, which was very convenient because we always felt bad asking for more water refills from the hosts at any restaurant where we are a large group. After we ordered our food, we were given these... colorful chip appetizers? With tamarind dip and cilantro dip. The chips were light and airy, and they were superb with the tamarind dip. Not a fan of cilantro, so no comment on that dip. I ordered the Korma chicken (spicy), bread basket, and mango lassi. The lassi was very thick and flavorful, and it came in a copper cup. It seemed small in size, but it was filling! The bread basket was for sharing with the table, and it came with 3 pieces each of 4 different types of naan: chili, garlic, regular, and wheat. My personal favorite was the garlic naan! The korma chicken came with a bowl of basmati rice. I asked for the spiciest spice level, and it was a comfortable amount of spice. I kinda expected to be crying tears of pain because I know how spicy Indian food can get, but I'm glad it was enjoyable instead of painful. The Korma chicken was SO well-spiced and was bursting with flavor. I think it's probably my favorite Indian dish I've ever had. I highly recommend it if you haven't tried it before! I'll definitely be back to try a different dish and get another lassi. Yum

Friendly staff and great food! Top notch service don't know enough about eastern food to add anything else. Very great atmosphere. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Amazing food each time I eat here. Service is nice and the atmosphere is even better. The food is a must and the drinks are great! Check it out!

Andy V.

First time here and definitely worth a second visit. Food was great and service matched. It's located in the back of a plaza limiting its traffic. Not a bad ambiance, sits about 50/60 people at max. We went in the evening, no wait time. Pro tip: check out their menu and ask for recommendations.

Raita Garlic Naan
Susan B.

Probably the best Persian food in Augusta. It's not cheap so don't expect a lunch price. I'd definitely go there again

This place is really just a takeout, with a front area with a table or two if you really want to…read morestay. I was promised freshly made food, and I received it. Despite a few menu alterations on their part, I got some interesting food. The place is listed as Pakastani, so I ordered things that seemed distinctively regional. My paneer chili delivered a delicious Indo-Chinese spice note and enough chili to clear my sinuses. The amount of actual paneer was not huge, but neither was the price, so I ended up just eating it all at once (unusual for me to finish an entire entree of that heavy stuff). The way they do a samosa chaat is a little bit drier and tangier than most, which does feel more like the style one gets in Pakistani places. It was satisfying, though the styrofoam container struggled to hold the liquid a bit. Of the numerous Indian restaurants in the area, I doubt this one will blow away all the others, but it was distinctive, fresh, and convenient. They gave me a loyalty card, and I'll probably come back.

Both main dishes had limited depth of flavor without the craveable layers of Indian spices that culinary dreams are made of. Both tasted freshly made and not stewed for hours, which would have provided the depth. Service/owner was perfectly nice. And the prices were half of the nearby competitors. Give Lahore a try! May be perfectly fine for most, especially as an introductory Indian food experience. Where's the heat?

And I think this really works in its favor. It provides for a unique atmosphere and customer experience. I don't mind getting my own utensils and and refills at all. I tend to end up here for lunch and I love their thali meals. The prices are reasonable and the portions and are large. The variety, quality and quantity is really hard to been for the price. They also have a surprisingly good selection of Indian beers. Now, there isn't a ton of seating and it can get busy around lunch time. Keep this in mind when planning a visit. If you're looking for a good spot to grab some Indian food I'd absolutely suggest swinging by Namaste. I plan to return.

Portions were very small for what we paid. Only one table in restaurant so definitely get it for takeout. Did not look like a restaurant from the outside or the inside. One naan bread for $4 caught me off guard, especially when we were ordering 2. Also in the picture you can see for the butter chicken it was maybe 4-5 pieces in the sauce which wasn't enough for the cost. Still everything was delicious though and I would consider returning if prices were lower.

From the moment we walked in, the rich aromas set the tone for what turned out to be a delicious dining experience. We started with the vegetable samosas and were exceptional. They were crisp, well-spiced, and paired perfectly with a tamarind sauce that was bursting with flavor. The garlic naan was crispy, and fresh out of the oven, and easily some of the best I've ever had. For our mains, I had the Paneer Butter Masala, and my husband ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. Both dishes were incredibly fresh and full of rich, balanced spices. The paneer was tender and the sauce was creamy with just the right hint of sweetness. My husband's dish had that classic smoky depth you hope for with tikka masala, and he loved every bite. The only drawback was the water situation--served from a plastic bottle with no ice, which felt out of place for a sit-down dinner experience. It didn't match the vibe. That said, the food more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back soon.
