Taste was good.I think spring rolls were frozen and then fried.Chhola bhatura was good.Noodle was ok.Service can be improved, had to ask for water.

I really love the food and the service was very good. The atmosphere could have been a little bit more but being the food was good. The service was good and the company was good. I would go back againFood: 5/5

It tells you a lot about a restaurant if the room is filled with people of the same culture as the restaurant. That is the case every time we go to Persis! The food is great. I'm just ready for them to bring the buffet back! I love being able to try a bit of new dishes to see if I like them, but I do understand COVID interrupting the buffet. :-)

The best Indian food I’ve had thus far. I had the butter chicken& rice and garlic naan. The garlic naan is 10/10 & I love the fact that had a spice level for the butter chicken (I chose 2)I’m not the best with pics btw

Both my wife and I got Masada here, it has a great spice level and is delicious

Food served was delicious, Staff were friendly.Disappointed with Bonless chicken biryani.

We were a bit apprehensive on entering, as hardly anyone was there. The food turned out to be not only something new for us, but delicious. Water is available only by the bottle for just 50 cents. My wife had mulligatawany soup and daal tadka. I had Uttapam Chili, a type of pancake with sauces. We both tried the other's meal. I preferred hers, though both were very good. Our meals , as it happened, were vegetarian, but they also do offer meat dishes. Service was great and the prices were "right." By the time we left, the diners were coming in.

We had lunch today for the first time at Persis. It came highly recommended by a friend. So glad it was recommended! The food quality and taste was outstanding!! Our server, Amin, was super polite and helpful and we waited almost no time for our meal. Along with our dishes of Paneer Masala, Lamb Kebab and Chicken Chettinadu we ordered two varieties of naan, the buttered and the rosemary. Definitely recommend the rosemary choice…perfect amount of spices. Amin asked us for each dish our preferred level of spice/hot and it was delivered as we requested. No surprises there! The restaurant was super clean and a nice large bar area as well. We will definitely be back and look for Amin as our server!

Kasim was amazing at the bar! He let me know the background of the Goan Breeze drink and where it derived from! Super friendly and informational and the food was astounding! 10/10 will recommend. I had the lamb Rogan josh with garlic and cheese naan with a mango lassi!

We love this place. But this time I am giving it 3 stars, and only because of food, as the entire experience was a little ruined.Unfortunately, yesterday dinner was worst experience so far. We came at around 7:30 pm, we saw the waiter in 15 min and he took our order right away, aaand we waited for an hour to get our food…I wish service was a little bit better, I wish we were informed at least what to expect. Or I wish we received either a free appetizer or some discount with an apology. I don’t think it is right to wait for unknown time for 3 plates.However, food never disappoints. We had chicken tikka masala with plain rice, roti with butter, and boneless lamb biryani (you can select how spicy you want it from 1 to 6, trust me 3 is spicy enough already). Our drinks were mango lassi (very delicious, but sweet, so better have it as a dessert after your main meal) and 1947 Indian beer (which actually happen to be made in Pennsylvania ??‍♀️).Another unpleasant thing was that we were charged for water.. the total was $67.Overall, very mixed feelings. And yet, we will give it another try, hoping for a better experience.
