This has quickly become my fave place to take people visiting CR from out of town. Everything on the menu here is good, there’s not a thing we’ve tried here we didn’t immediately love. Large portions & great for sharing with a small group. I took home leftovers from dinner here & had great meals at work all week! Coworkers kept asking me “what are you eating? it smells so good!”
It’s refreshing to see a place in the Midwest that’s so vegetarian / vegan friendly. There’s a huge selection of authentic vegetarian dishes on the menu here! The girls who work there are always very kind & the man who delivers your food I believe is the owner.

I had the pleasure of dining at Persis Indian grill recently, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff greeted me with a friendly smile.
I started with the Mushroom pepper fry and chicken 555, which was fresh and full of flavor. The seasoning was spot on, and the presentation was stunning. For the main course, I had the goat Hyderbadi, paneer Tikka masala ,chilli garlic naan and butter roti all of them exceeded my expectations. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was just right.
The dessert,Gulab Jamun with Vanilla Ice cream, was the perfect way to end the meal. It was light, yet indulgent, and the perfect balance of sweetness.
Overall, the service was impeccable, the food was outstanding, and the ambiance was perfect.
Kid-friendliness: There were games provided for kids to keep them engaged while parents enjoy their lunch.

The most flavorful, fresh and delicious meal I’ve had in forever. Absolutely the best Indian cuisine I’ve had locally, ever, and this has been my favorite food for 30 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Food was great! They were willing to accomodate us by making something that was not on the menu. The soup was ok but everything else was amazing. Very kind staff and great service.

I ordered $100 worth of food. It was charged to my card. Fully processed. I never received the food and the restaurant claims they didn't receive payment yet my bank statement shows otherwise. This place is asinine.

I have to give a one star for the food because we received the wrong order for takeaway and thus I could not eat the food. But the service is where this review takes heart - we can totally understand how orders would get mixed up, but when we called to get a refund or remedy for the $17 entree we didn't receive, we were told to call back after 7pm when a manager was available. We did, and they said a manager was still not available and to email with a photo of the wrong food received. We did. No response. Days go by. I sent a followup email along with the receipt. No response. We have tried four times to find a remedy for a mistake that was not ours - seems silly that they'd be so willing to lose a customer when it could have been an easy remedy.

The staff were kind and welcoming. I got take out, but the atmosphere was not the most comfortable looking, and given there was nobody else eating in. The Butter Chicken was phenomenal. The hot option for it was a good level spice for the average American tongue. There was a generous amount of chicken pieces as well. Their rice tasted and felt fresh, which I do not see very often. I did order some garlic Naan bread on the side because Naan bread is not complimentary with the entree that I got. The Naan bread was pretty sub-par to the rest of the food, which is usually what I look forward to most. It was soggy and bland, compared to other restaurants. It was not bad tasting, just not what I was hoping for, and was not worth the extra $4. I would have been extremely happy with just the Butter Chicken because of how good it was. All around, it was a good meal for a reasonable price, and one to definitely recommend.

The only difficult thing was ESL for the wait staff. Communication was difficult, but workable.

Ate lunch here today with my son. We have limited experience with Indian food, but the waiter gave us menu recommendations from their extensive menu . "The food was excellent, and service was very good too. We will both definitely come back to experience other menu items.
Vegetarian options: Half the menu is vegetarian. There should be something for everyone.
Parking: We parked right in from of the restaurant door. Plenty of free parking only one step to enter.
