My family and I visited Persis Indian Grill in North Charlotte yesterday for the lunch buffet, and…read morewe left very disappointed. Most of the food was cold and did not seem fresh. The idli was very hard and cold. Since they also run a breakfast buffet from eight to eleven, it honestly felt like some items may have been carried over. I ca not say for sure, but that was the impression. Veg options were limited, no dosa or vada. Nothing stood out besides the pulihora. Charging around twenty dollars per person did not feel justified given the quality and selection. We did not expect this from Persis.

Service was good and they were very polite. There was something about this place that just didn't sit right. Not sure what it was. We all ordered dosas with different fillings. A south Indian staple. Crispy thing pancake type but paper thin stuffed with usually potatoes but here they had so many different things to pick from, eggs, cheese, chicken tikka, etc . I had a masala dosa which was traditional spicy potato filling served with chutneys and Dahl. Others on the table had the chicken tikka masala and the chicken keema which is ground chicken . They were all tasty. The Dahl dipping sauce was good. The chutneys also tasty. The dosa itself was very oily and didn't stay crispy like others I've had before. This was kinda disappointing and I didn't end up eating most of it because it was soggy. The filling was also nice and spicy. We all kinda felt that way about the dosas. Also had a plain naan, which was kinda flat not puffy and crispy, which makes me believe they don't have a tandoor to make naan like most places do. Shame really . We also tried the medu vada, served with Dahl to dip into also these are fried dough but spiced . They were ok. Nothing spectacular. Anyway they have a pretty extensive menu and seem to have a good take out business . Probably not a return here for me though.

Godavari seems to be a local Indian spot for people. It is a bit out there from Charlotte, but a…read moresolid choice if near University City. The inside had enough seating for people and service was good. Although I think our server could have paid a bit more attention to us in terms of refilling our water. But it is a fairly chill atmosphere inside. We got the Gobi 65, Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Mango Lassi. The Gobi 65 at mild spice still had a slight kick to it, but it was very flavorful! I really enjoyed it. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted very buttery and not as spicy as I wanted it to be (asked for medium spice), so it makes me wonder if they accidentally gave me the wrong dish... like Butter Chicken? Otherwise, it was alright. Lots of bell peppers inside the dish and the chicken was cut into small pieces. The Garlic Naan was super garlicky which I loved and tasted great being dipped in the Chicken Tikka Masala. For the Mango Lassi, it came pre-packaged in this small bottle. It tasted fine, but not as sweet as I wanted it to be. My friend liked the Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, which came in a massive bowl. Overall, I enjoyed the food here. Although I kind of want to get the Chicken Tikka Masala again and see if it tastes less buttery and more spicy next time. I would come back to try the other items on the menu!

Zafran felt authentic, though authenticity can be a double-edged Khyber sword when you have no idea what you're ordering. Pictures of famous mosques and religious leaders covered the walls, while thick, clear plastic protected the Punjabi textiles on every table. The server and I struggled to communicate, and Google Translate proved about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I asked about the Jarzamzam drink, but the only explanation I understood was that it cost too much for the staff to sample. Siri eventually entered the conversation and explained that it was water from a sacred well in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Next, I ordered the Lassi. In my mind, Lassi means a cold, sweet yogurt drink flavored with mango. This version arrived plain, salty, and lumpy. It was clearly homemade, but ordering it reminded me of navigating a tourist bar in Thailand: ask follow-up questions before choosing the mystery option. The Chicken Kabab consisted of two slender, tube-shaped portions of ground meat buried under shredded raw onion and served with just a cup of saffron rice. At $25, shrinkflation appears to have hit Zafran harder than an Uber Eats service fee. My previous Pakistani meals had delivered the exact opposite experience. Plates usually arrived with piles of pilaf and so many skewers, you'd have to approach your meal like it was an angry porcupine. I also wouldn't choose Zafran for a romantic dinner. The dining room is crowded and very rustic, rustic enough to make an interior designer collapse. Still, I would return with someone familiar with Pakistani food and the language being spoken. A knowledgeable dining partner might help uncover the treasure beneath the restaurant's gritty exterior and help identify the better choices and values.

I literally only have 3 slices left & it's just me eating this right now I would finish the rest but I'm too full right now. The pizza isn't super thin or super thick, it's just right. Loaded with toppings; chicken, peppers, onions, cilantro, & cheese. I got an extra butter sauce as recommended but I wish I would've got two. This is some of the best pizza I've ever had.

We ordered pani puri, wada pav, dabeli and mango lassi. All of it SUCKED. The pani puri looked nothing like the photos from Google or Yelp, and lacked flavor as well as skimpy filling. The dabeli had NO pomegranate. I've never encountered a dabeli without pomegranate, neither did it have any flavor. Same story with the wada pav. Severely lacking garlicky goodness. The mango lassi was good, but cost a whopping $4 for a tiny 6oz serving. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what a small cup it came in. The location of this place sucks, with every picnic table splintering and dirty, every table either had its own share of bugs (fire ants, flies, wasps, mosquitos) or was dirty, and add a serving of weed smoke from the nearby smoke shop. Service was also terrible. Their ordering system wasn't working, some of the things on their menu were not coming up on online ordering and the lady taking my order manually struggled with the system with the Square reader not working multiple times. They also don't accept cash so that's not an option either. We cane to this place with such high hopes and left disappointed.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had lamb curry, garlic naan, chicken momos and chicken chowmein. The food was authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the rich Indian curries to the delicious Nepali dishes, every bite was incredible. The spices were balanced beautifully and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the dining experience even better. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere.
