We stopped at Persis Biryani Indian Grill last night for my husband's birthday. We got the Paneer butter marsala. Very delicious food. Service was attentive and we felt very at home! Definitely will be back!

Extensive menu with loads of dishes we had not seen before. My husband had Lamb Pasanda—he ALWAYS orders Lamb Vindaloo but decided to give something new a try. SUCCESS! His new favorite. They listened when he asked for it hot! My vegetarian paneer dish was super tasty. Galar Halwa for dessert was so yummy. We will be back. Their lunch specials also sound great.

Amazing food and amazing service! Loved the chicken 65! Definitely recommend the chicken 65. You can choose from mild to spicy which is nice. Recommend this spot if you are having a hard time deciding on a place to eat 😄
