I've been a long-time supporter of this location going back to when it was Zaan, and it used to be…read moreone of my favorite places in Thomasville. We really need more locally owned restaurants that offer something different from the usual national chains, and for a while this place filled that gap incredibly well. When it first transitioned to Hungry, the same manager stayed on for a couple of months and the food and service were just as great as before. Unfortunately, once management changed again, things really started to go downhill. The last few times I've visited, the quality of both the food and the service has noticeably declined. My most recent visit was especially disappointing, the dishes lacked flavor, freshness, and the care that used to set this place apart. Another thing I've noticed recently is cleanliness. There are often tables with dirty dishes and silverware left from prior guests when you arrive, and they sometimes remain that way throughout the meal. It adds to the feeling that attention to detail has slipped. I'm writing this not to tear down a local business, but because I genuinely want to see Thomasville have more great dining options, and I'd love to see Hungry return to the level it once had. I hope management takes this feedback to heart, because there was a time when this was easily one of the best spots in town, and I'd be the first to come back regularly if the quality improves again.

We were both happy with our meal, except there was far too much food. I think restaurants in…read moregeneral serve too much food that means a take home box. The server had a strong accent, but that also was good as I felt he was authentic Indian. When I asked about the heat level of the curry, he said there were six levels. Wow! That was new to me. I chose 3 and my husband chose 1. I enoyed my lamb curry, but when we go back, I may opt for a level 2 in hot spice. I guess we are wimps when it comes to hot peppers. The lamb and the chicken were both fork tender. The naan was delicious. I definitely give this restaurant five stars. I look forward to going back and trying one of the biryani dishes. The inside is not glamorous, but it is clean. It s just fine for lunch.

Hubby and I were just interested in trying out local restaurant options. We love the Chinese food…read more(couple of places) but wanted to branch out a bit. We love cooking unusual cuisines at home. This time we wanted quick take-out and the ordinary pizza/Chinese options wouldn't cut it so we ordered from Persis Byriani. TBF, we have limited experience with Persian dishes so we ordered some items with which we were entirely unfamiliar. Sadly, the whole of our meal was limp, lukewarm, and a bit greasy. The flat bread which had absorbed too many flavors while steaming in the take-out bag was a huge disappointment. Fresh from the pan, it is a real treat and difficult to do at home properly. I even tried pan frying to get it back to normal but it came out even chewier. I think that it would be a better test to eat at the restaurant and get a fresh take on the dishes. Plus, the staff could better advise what flavors and spices we were getting.

I asked Floyd, the server, what he recommend and he suggested a Lamb Roganjosh, with garlic bread and rice, and a mango juice. He was very friendly and helped me get exactly what I wanted.

She said that she only needs about an hours notice but I didn't know that until I saw the sign on her door. I saw that she had a small grocery section so I asked if she minded if I looked around. We started talking and I was telling her how I'm rarely in the area and just googled a nearby place to eat. Before I know it, she's offering to whip me up something simple for lunch. It was a wonderfully favored chickpea dish with a side of rice and her special bread that she makes. Plus a small samosa. It was delicious. I highly recommend trying it, just make sure you call ahead.

I wish I had gotten a higher spice level. Also one of our friends let me try her goat in mango curry and I was immediately jealous.

I like how versatile their menu is as well. They have something for everyone here. So even if someone doesn't prefer Indian food they can easily find something to eat at this location.
