I called them to make my order to dine in and they said we can’t because I know when I get there it will take a long time to get my order ready and its Ramadan I have been fasting all day. There is a worker called Amin and he was very rude with us and it happened before from Amin it wasn't the first time from himThe food is very delicious As usual.

After three years in the area, we decided to try some Indian food. We've had Indian in Kolkata, D.C., and London, so we know some of more common dishes quite well. Our group of four started with a shared appetizer called chaat. For those not familar with chaat, I liken it to Indian nachos. Ours had a base of potato samosa (a savory deep fried pastry pocket). The samosas are then covered in a chickpea curry sauce, which is garnished with chopped onion, cilantro, and crunchy bits of sev (chickpeas noodle). My only complaint is the portion. It's small as a shared dish! For our entree's, I had the tandoori chicken. Well, lots of delicious spicy flavor and what a portion--Five large chunks of chicken breast. If you like white meat, this one's for you. The breast were a little bit dry, but that's no fault of the Chef. I think I might like to try it with boneless chicken thighs. My wife had an old favorite: tikka chicken masala. Served over white rice, this classic features tender pieces of chicken simmered in a creamy, spicy tomato tomato sauce. Oh, speaking of spice levels, each entrée can be customized from mild to very hot to suit you taste. Our friends had the butter chicken and the goat curry. (Meat in a spicy brown curry says). Butter chicken is similar to the chicken masala, but not as spicy. The interior of the restaurant is OK but nothing fancy. As you can see from outside picture of the building, it is a converted Mexican restaurant . The service was okay. When we arrived, the place wasn't very busy, but soon filled up in about an hour. There was a little bit of a wait between our bread (warm and delicious by the way) and the entrées, but we were all OK with that. Oh my wife had a mango lassi. Which she thought was great! Highly recommend Persis for authentic Indian food! The menu offers, a high variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. I'm sure you're going to find a favorite that you love!

This is I’ve of my favorite restaurants in Columbia.
Naan was tough like it was baked yesterday. The heat on the food was ok and as ordered. . Tiny tiny portion of rice to be shared with two people ordering two meals. Think a Mc Ds cheeseburger carton of rice. Ordered the Butter chicken and Assorted Tandoori platter. It says shrimp. No shrimp. The ground "meat" was burnt to a crisp and tough. I'll give 5 stars for making ground meat tough. Butter chicken was fine. Maybe a 3. Overall poor. I eat Indian food all over the world and this is probably where it belongs. As far away from India as possible. Naan from the Publix is better. Could be excellent compared to others around here. A big fail compared to all the others I've had. Probably wouldn't pass as a Sams Club premade dinner.

The food here is okay but something needs to be done about the service. Three times now I’ve called in for a pick up order & told that it’ll be 30-45 minutes. Every time I arrive about 45 minutes after placing the call and have to wait an additional 30 minutes or more. The most recent time, I waited for almost an hour and a half in addition to arriving 45 minutes after placing the order. That’s over 2 hours of waiting.I understand if you’re super busy but either be honest about the wait times (most people won’t care) or simply stop taking orders until you can manage it. Don’t take advantage of people’s time or money. The next time will be my last.
