Good quality and tasty food for sure; however, make sure you get your catering orders well discussed and confirmed over the paper receipt and check double or triple if needs to be over the phone, email, text etc. I had a little unprofessional experience with my first ever catering order from this place on a special occasion last Saturday (food for 80 people so you can imagine how much I might have paid already). I had placed my order well in advance with one of the partners of this restaurant, however, after he wrote it on a small piece of paper, and in just 5 mins I asked him something which was marked for review to change to make it final, but he verbally said he will write it down and then forgot and my order was little messed up. Then when I was talking to him over the phone as he was not around, he said can you adjust with that (no sorry and no please kind of words from him :); look at the attitude towards customers. Taken for granted.) Overall good quality food which our gusts enjoyed for sure, but these guys surely need to add more professionalism (confirmed orders over computers or somewhere really smart to track for their kitchen folks) when handing large catering orders. I mean in smartphone era and online everything, such small thing can easily be managed. Hope they would take this review / feedback positively. read more

This was excellent Indian food in West Cary.Easily the best Indian food The garlic naan was the best garlic naan we've ever had. In fact, it was among the best bread products ever. Light, piping hot, and just the right amount of garlic. The sauce for the Tikka masala was excellent. Flavorful, rich, with a few tomato pieces. The chicken was a little dry though. My brother ordered chicken vindaloo, which was very hot (he ordered between medium & hot) and slightly tangy. The service was very great I ordered the masala chai and was disappointed; it was a good milky tea, but wasn't very well spiced. Overall, highly recommended. Can't wait to return read more

So glad we have such an awesome Indian place in the area! Every visit I've been there the food has been great. Try their Butter Chicken (may of my friends' favorite), Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, and the appetizers. My favorite is Lamb Curry - very tender lamb meat in flavorful curry sauce. You can pick spice level in most dishes, which I found very useful. Their Halva is to die for, and other desserts are good as well. Masala Chai is a bit spicy, but great on a cold night. read more

The food is great! However, their TAT is very inaccurate and they are often overwhelmed with orders that they're not diligently looking through ready online orders for your food. I placed an online order and when I arrived they said it was not ready and would be ready in 15 minutes. Then in 15 minutes they said five more minutes and then 15 minutes had gone by and it was still not ready. Come to find out it was ready the entire time sitting behind the front desk and no diligently looked through the orders to find mine. Now that I have arrived home to food is cold given that I just waited for an hour even though I was already ready. Definitely disappointed because their food is great but customer services needs to improve. Ordered: Garlic naan, chicken tikki masala, chicken chettinadu read more

Mmmm...delicious. I'm pretty new to Indian food in general, but I do love Persis. It's slightly Americanized Indian, but with a good selection of some of the traditional Indian dishes. As an example, they have about 6 variations of naan - plain, garlic, cheese, etc. They have butter chicken and chicken tiki masala. I enjoyed it a lot, but one of my companions complained of stomach issues (too spicy :-) ) the next day. Service was fine, although we were in a boisterous group, so I'm not sure I would notice. read more

My food was delicious. I'll be back for that. I forgot what it was called but it was a chickpea curry with a huge fried flatbread. So bomb. My hubby wasn't super impressed with his potato curry lol. But he loved my meal as well. read more

Persis is a pan-Indian restaurant that is distinctive in that is serves "good" food. Every dish we ate was a decent example of the standard dishes that we order when trying new Indian restaurants (I order the same things, so that the food is comparable). The place is clean and has a very large/organized kitchen. Definitely middle-of-the-road. Not too spicy, salty. However, Persis suffers from the misfortune of being in an area with lots of fantastic competition. If I lived in Parkside (which I don't), I could see myself eating here more often. But there are several places that are only five minute further drive that are - in my humble opinion - superior. I recommend Nazarra (high end), Peacock (south Indian casual), Rajbahog (cheap and cheerful buffet), Azitra (higher end in Brier Creek), Vimala's (waaaaaaay over in Chapel Hill), and a few that have been recommended by respected foodie friends that I have yet to try (Dharani, Tower, Himalayan). read more

Good Indian Buffet for weekday lunch - good set of both vegetarians and meat options. Nice that they offer tea with their buffet. There isn't an indian restaurant in the west cary area near parkside - so finally we have one here. read more

Not the one. Food is little below average and way expensive for the quantity. Like $6 for two samosas is heights. Taste wasn't that good as I could feel that potato stuffing had little powdery feeling which usually comes if you freeze them before frying. Samosa chat was good because other ingredients over power that frozen potato taste. Also ordered chole bhature (to go) and it came with one decent sized bhatura but felt like too stretchy like chewing gum. Chole was okay in taste though. Biryani is okay but there are lot better options around. Didn't want to waste any more money to try main course. read more

My partner and I decided to stop here on a Saturday night for dinner. This was our second time since we went when they first opened and we had a lovely experience. We were seated rather quickly as the restaurant was nearly empty but we were given an extremely long time to look over the menu-- this should have been our first clue of what was to come. The server apologized for the wait but seemed a bit curt (no greeting or real interaction other than something along the lines of "are you ready to order?") Anyway, the wait time for the food was average, and the order was correct, aside from my partner ordering spicy but receiving NEGATIVE mild, as in there was no level of spice at all. The server never came to check on how the food was, or if we needed anything so we asked another server for some hot sauce. At least ten minutes had passed and we received neither hot sauce nor attention from our server so my partner had to get up from his seat to ask someone behind the counter for some. At that point, our food was cold and we were tired of the subpar service from our server so we asked -yet another- server for takeout boxes and our check since we were no longer enjoying the experience. To add insult to injury, those who were seated around us (after we came in) were receiving prompt service from attentive servers so we started to feel even more unwelcome. On the way home, my partner commented, "if I could vomit this food and choose another restaurant, I would". We had such high hopes for another great restaurant near our home but this was sadly our last time eating here. read more

This is a relatively new Indian place when compared to many others. I have come here several times over lunches and dinners and there is one thing that has been outstanding and has always exceeded my expectations related to taste, spice levels, texture etc ... was the goat Biryani and goat curry. This is an excellent place to have Anything in goat. 12-Jul-2017: what an amazing lunch buffet I had today. Only had vegetarian and the butter been curry was amazing. The deserts today they had - mango halwa and the black berry mousse ... they were outstanding ... as we are just getting bored with the deserts at other places where you see only Gulab Jamoon ... the mango halwa has just made my day ... thanks to the Persis team ... read more

The only tandoori grill spot I've come across where you can actually smell and taste the coal roast on the meat. The tandoori aloo paratha was fantastic. read more

The best Indian food ever! Don't waste your time at other places. Service was phenomenal! They want beyond anything I could've ever asked for. Owners are very nice! read more

I have eaten take out here twice now and both times have really enjoyed my food. Any Indian restaurant that offers South Indian options is a winner for me. The Idly/Vada with Sambar and chutneys is top notch as is the Masala Dosa. I will definitely return soon! read more

The worst possible Biryani in and around RTP. So disgusting mutton Biryani with hardly and mutton in it. Height of deception. read more

Simple amazing! One of he best Indian food in the triangle area. I was here with my family last week of December and we loved it. Again, today January 5th we stopped by for dinner. Chicken 65 is delicious and I recommend Rasam Soup. read more

Absolutely fabulous lunch buffet. The best variety and depth of selection that I've ever encountered, and it's all great. Not the same between weekends, either - our second trip had a bunch of new dishes, plus your expected tandoori chicken, etc. read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday and I can honestly say that this is the worst Indian restaurant I've been in. Being empty at 11:45 should have been the first clue. The menu is very limited and all entrees are $13+. I asked if they had a lunch menu and they offered us a $10 special that came with fried fish appetizer, butter chicken, "another curry", some stuff I couldn't understand and naan. We felt bad so we decided to give it a try and then they brought us some water. I don't know what they do to their water but it tasted like it just came out of a hot garden hose. You know what I'm talking about. We should have left at this point but we didn't. The lunch special was two pieces of butter chicken in sauce, two pieces of coat in a curry, maybe 4oz of some soup, spinach rice, white rice and bread and yogurt sauces. None of it tasted very good and I suspect they made this "$10 lunch special" out of leftover crap in the fridge. And you should never serve a mystery meat/curry that ends up being goat. Oh and thankfully we never did get the fried fish appetizer, One star for that. Can't wait to see what opens in this location next. read more

Our family tried Persis a few months ago, and while it was a little more expensive than other local restaurants, the food was amazing. The portions were large enough to take half home for an extra meal. We (probably unwisely) ordered takeout for lunch online on Mother's Day today. Someone called from the restaurant to let us know that they were packed and that our order would take longer than usual, but by the time my husband arrived to pick it up (he left our house shortly after we ordered), he was told it would only be a 10-minute wait. The food was nicely packaged for travel and delicious. Thanks for making my Mother's Day awesome! read more

Loved this place! Ordered late night take out, my fav dish, Chicken Korma; and boy it didn't disappoint! If I was in the area more often I would eat here alllll the time! They were very accommodating for being one of their last customers for the night! Really grateful for that! You could tell the food was fresh to order. My husband said he wasn't hungry but when he tried my food he wished he would've ordered too! Would definitely come back! read more

It was a friday evening and we were group of 15 folks meeting for team dinner. We immediately got the seats as we arrived​ as we had a prior reservation. We were served the welcome drink which was short portion of Mango Lassi in cute small glasses. Everyone loved it. They are new and i expect them to include more options​ in menu though whatever they have currently should be sufficient but its good to have more options to choose from. We ordered Samosa chaat which was really yummy. Samosas were good crispy and filling was tasty too. In Non Veg starters, we ordered variety of chicken starters, we loved chicken 65, chicken wings. For entries, Chicken Tikkaa Masala was our choice and it was worth it. Chicken butter masala is descent as well. In terms of breads, everyone liked their Bullet Naan which are little spicy so in case you dont eat spicy, butter naan should do the job. Now what we really didn't like were BIRYAANI. Let it be chicken or goat biryani. We conveyed this to owner as well. Owner seems to be a good guy as he personally came to our table and tried to get the feedback and see if we are doing good. This gesture really shows their concern for customers. I had a Mango Lassi glass at the end to find the heaven for my taste buds. I just loved it. At the end, one can try and be happy with the few right dishes. read more

Not the best food but given the large number of hopeless Indian restaurants in RTP area this place is much better. Well located in the Parkside complex, the place is cozy but well set up. The menu is a mix of north and South Indian dishes. The biryani is not the best that I have had but still far better than the biryani places around. read more

Great food very poor service. Not even sure if it's worth coming back. They need a service manager/supervisor because everyone trolling unchecked. Owner must be the cook the food almost made me want to comeback . Definitely great food/portion. read more

Small portions. Flavorful. Slightly pricer then tiger options. Machine that makes the batter for dosas down.

Fabulous indian food in a casual spot. One of our favorites. The lamb samosas are excellent.

Perfect blend of spices and tender meat, surrounded by creamy sauce. The garlic naan topped it off.

Excellent food. All I can say is they are underrated. They have a way to go but if they follow some of the instructions and send what is ordered to people! I'm in the hotel and ordered a plate and napkins and spoons they were never sent. read more

I attended this restaurant with my family and family friends during the holiday season, and we had a great meal! We ordered: Gobi Manchurian, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta, and Bhindi along with naan and some drinks. Since all of the main dishes came with rice, we had more than enough food for seven of us. The spice level was perfect, and the food was flavorful. It wasn't as crowded as I'd like, but it's a new restaurant, and I assume most folks still had Christmas leftovers. Eager to return again! read more

We visited this place on multiple occasions in the past for their kashmiri Malai Kofta. A recent visit was really disappointing. The dish was literally served on the platter that was microwaved and by the time we got it, the gravy was all dried up....extremely disappointed!!! read more

After reading the reviews decided to check this place for a lunch buffet. The food was non palatable. Nothing on their menu had me going for a second helping. Everything looked dry, and tasted like it lacked the Indian flavor. The chicken in most dishes tasted stale. I wouldn't recommend even trying it read more

The worst place ever! Would give them 0 stars if I could. The owner, Murali, on being contacted for missing items from my delivery order, got highly abusive over the phone. Was downright rude with no manners on how to talk with a customer. Would recommend everyone to stay away from this place if they do not wish to be insulted. read more

I had the HYDERABAD GOAT CURRY. Very tasty!!! Customer service was polite and responsive.

Ordered PICK UP due to coronavirus. However when I looked inside the kitchen I saw the staff packaging my food without any gloves, mask, or anything to protect from the virus. I confronted the staff member about this public safety and he told me don't worry they inside the kitchen it's okay. and came up with other excuses. I told him to take more cautious about the corona virus and he didn't show any interest. Even after I notified them of this public health issue, he made no changes. I came home and my package for my curry and rice was open and didn't package it right. I couldn't believe my eyes... I saw them with their bare hands packaging... I threw the food away right away at my home. read more

Wonderdully spicy, flavorful, and authentic. The meal was as beautiful as it was tasty! I enjoyed how they offer a vegetarian/no vegetarian sampler for lunch. You get a bit of everything and it was all delicious. Can't wait to come back for dinner. I would have gladly paid twice as much! read more

Parkside Indian Grill - Non vegetarian lunch options...delish! - Indian Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I'd give this Zero stars if I could. Came here to try it for my birthday. Waited 10 min just to get offered a drink. Ordered our food and waited over an hour. People who came in after us got food before us! No one checked on us or even an apology for food being extremely late which we never even received. Hair was in the appetizer they brought out *disgusting*. The waiter seemed to be overwhelmed, or annoyed. Never, EVER again! Avoid this place if you can... Maybe they need to hire some women, the men just got in each others way and couldn't multitask at all! If you have hours to waste, this is the place for you. Can't rate the food, because we never got any! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. It took a very long time for our waiter to come and ask us what we wanted to drink. My dad ordered a tea and my mom and I ordered water. The water cups were not clean, and my dads tea did not come until we were done with our dinner! And it tasted horrible. On to appetizers. I ordered the Gobi Manchurian which when it came 20 minutes later, was burnt. My mom tried one piece and almost threw up. My dad ordered Mendu Vara which were bellow average. For our main dish we ordered 2 onion and chili rava dosa. When the food finally came it was very soft (a rava dosa should be crispy) and it was like a raw onion and chili salad with a soft doe around it. All the insides fell out and it did not taste appetizing. I tried to rely on the sambar it came with however that tasted very bad as well. After we got our food we were not once asked if it was okay because our server was to busy trying to figure out how to get us our check. Overall horrible service, horrible food that made me sick. Please save yourself and do not go to this place. Go to Swagat instead!!!!! read more

Everything was perfectly flavored! So far the best Indian food I've eaten in this area. Chilli paneer was amazing! They stay true to their spice level and don't compromise on their flavor! read more
