Very good Indian food. They have lunch specials on weekends which is very nice. Typically,…read morerestaurants only have specials M-F so this was a nice touch. Saffron has a variety of spice levels. I found medium to be perfect for me. I may venture into even something slightly spicier next time. We had chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken. The garlic naan is some of the best I've ever eaten. Bottom line - Really good Indian food at the perfect spice level. The garlic naan was delicious. Bon appétit, y'all.

It is their fault!!! This is why I can't eat at any other restaurant of great Indian food!! Yes,…read morethese are the owners of this restaurant have ruined me for life!!! I tried to go in two different restaurants where I live in the USA, And it's never good enough for me. I tasted good food in San Antonio, Texas. But I was being robbed. This restaurant has spoiled me for life. If I ever get back to Greenville South Carolina. This is the only restaurant to go to!!!! 5 star!!! And it's not just one item. It is every single piece of food that they create in this restaurant. Clean!! I mean the whole place is clean even the driveway even the parking lot everything. The locals complain about the traffic. But the real test is when you walk in and taste. This restaurant has ruined me for life. The best food all the way around!! Thank you. I have not been there in 16 years. One day soon.

We tried the Lunch special which is two plates for $20. You can choose from Butter Chicken or a veggie dish. You also get basmati rice, a large naan bread/roti, tomato salad and what looked like chick peas in a sweet sauce. There was also a small round pastry in the middle of the tray. Every thing was tasty. We expected the butter chicken to be bland but it was quite spicy so if you like it mild it's not! Server was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return and try a regular dish. Not overpriced either like some Indian restaurants

Do yourself a favor and try this place immediately. I want to try their entire menu and NEED their food at a minimum of once a month.

Everything was 100/100. We also tried two drinks, the mango lassi (holy yum) and the sweet lemon water (refreshing and delicious). I will be working my way through their entire menu. Also multiple Indian families came into dine while we were there, which is always a good sign!

They 2 fellas behind the counter were extremely helpful and gave me samples and delicious suggestions! I had only ever tried Chicken Tikka Masala so it was nice to get to sample a few things and try some new!!! They also gave me a to go cup of a delicious white sauce with onions and cilantro - not sure what it was, but it paired so nicely with the green chicken especially. The coconut rice was delicious as well with cilantro and onions as well!! I might would get the rice plain next time just because I love coconut and wanted more of that flavor. They had mango lassi and some other bottled beverages to choose from, I regret not getting a lassi to go!!! It looked amazing. So glad I popped in here!

The gravy (curry) was spot on. Definitely try the chicken tikka with the buttered naan. I live near by, so I will be a patron here. The four star is because I prefer a little more cream in the gravy. In regards to the 1 star rating that someone else gave, bear in mind that all restaurants take time to dial in the menu. Plus the fact that at the time of this review that person only has 5 reviews that they have ever given.

I'm particular, because I'm spoiled, I would like to see Saag and Navratan Korma added to the menu. I had Mixed Vegetable Korma, medium spice, thinking it would be close. It wasn't. However, it was good. Even the naan wasn't great. I'd rather have that I buy at Publix and heat in a skillet. I'll sum it up this way. I have been once. I will give it another try. It is good, not great. It is somewhat overpriced. There is no atmosphere to speak of and there is no service as there is no dining in. It is worth a try.

It's on the more expensive side, so it's not a place we can frequent. However, we look forward to coming back again!

The goat finishes and then all you are left with is the gravy. We also came for dinner with some friends on a week night and ordered Goat Curry and were surprised when the bowl in which it was served had 4 - 5 pieces of Goat in it. Their food is tasty and they are trying but if you are trying to stint on items that draw people in - you are not going to last very long. There are children running around and can be a nuisance when you are trying to enjoy a meal with your friends / family

Y'all. We eat at a lot of Indian restaurants and at this point, it's difficult to stand out. When…read moreI tell you Persis stood out, believe me. We were in Greenville for the week on vacation. We had already had "okay" Indian delivery from another place in town on Monday. My wife was shopping at a store in the plaza, so I decided to go check Persis out rather than wait outside a dressing room. Saw they had Masala Dosa on the menu and promptly forgot which store my wife was in. The masala dosa was amazing. Crisp on the ends, good flavor, the masala in the middle was just spicy enough and nicely done. The tomato chutney had nice spice, and the coconut chutney was good also. The sambar was probably the best I've had in my life. I probably would have fought you for it. The lady managing the place was outgoing and welcoming and chatted me up while I was there. She heard we were traveling and told us we should come back on Friday for the buffet. Unlimited dosa? I ain't dumb. We went back two days later as instructed. The buffet was large and had a great selection of veg and non-veg selections, as well as a dosa station. Here are my highlights: Tawa Vegetables- basically griddled seasoned veg mix. These were a stand out item for us. Simple veg but done really well. Eggplant with green chilis - this was suggested to be spicy, but I didn't find it to be so, and I'm a bit of a weenie. It had good flavor, and Baingan Bharta is my all time favorite, so it was fun to try a different yet similar dish. Veg Biryani - light and well cooked. I enjoyed it very much. Butter Chicken - Y'all, this might be the first time in my life I've seen someone make butter chicken with texture and richness to this level. When they say it's their signature dish, I understand why. The chicken was grilled and had *actual* char marks, giving it actual texture and flavor. The curry tasted amazing and had so much butter that it was richer than Jeff Bezos. I almost couldn't finish it because it was so rich, but Mama didn't raise a quitter. 10/10, would eat again right now. There was a fish dish that I didn't try and a Chana Saag I just never made room for. There were many choices across a wide swath of foods and flavors. The Chai they had was also excellent. Apparently they make their own Chai Masala rather than a mix. The staff was friendly and checked on us many times. Overall, 10/10 and would go back to Greenville just to eat here again.

For a price tag of $96, we received two pints of perfect sauces, one pint of steamed and 'ground to smoothness' spinach but that is where it stopped. There was hardly any paneer in the paneer tikka masala or saagwala paneer. I ended up roasting paneer at home to make the dishes presentation worthy and Malabar curry with mixed veggies was underwhelming as all we saw for veggies were a poor portion of frozen vegetables out of the grocery store's frozen aisle. What a let down for a hefty price. Disappointed. No pictures to post because I ended up cooking after paying that money.
