Parkside Indian Grill is always a satisfying experience. The buffet is well organized and offers great options for both vegetarian and non vegetarian diners, with separate sections that make choosing easy. The live dosa counter stands out with fresh, hot dosas made on the spot. They also have good dessert options to enjoy after the meal. Starting with soup and lemonade and ending with a comforting cup of chai brings the whole experience together. It feels complete and authentic, especially if you love Indian food. read more

When I walked in, there was one family outside and another single woman. A couple walked in behind me but other than that it was light business. (If it's any relation the parking in the whole plaza was easy- not something usual for this time of night). However, they had anywhere from 6-10 pickup orders while I was there. The service was quick to bring me water and made my mock Pina colada right away. I ordered one of the cauliflower appetizers, cheese naan, and goat tikka masala (not on the menu, but I asked the waiter what his favorite sauce was and told him I wanted goat. This was his recommendation. It tasted so delicious and the portions were huge. I took home what I would have normally received from a to-go order from other restaurants. Everything was clean and well maintained. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would but because of how delicious it was, I'll round up. My only very small complaint was that they had an awesome glossary of terms, but were still lacking several descriptors. Pictures would have been super helpful! Overall- I'll be back. read more

Wanted to get dinner before going to the movies. My friend and I ordered vegetable appetizer: Samosa Chaat. So delicious, fresh and full of flavor. For drinks I got the Lime soda it was sooo good and refreshing! Entrees I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala with white rice. My friend ordered Shrimp Biryani (medium spice level). Staff were helpful, attentive. Restaurant was clean and busy with families and guest. We were so full we didn't even go to the movies . Definitely will return again! I wish I took photos, I was living in the moment and was hungry. read more

DELICIOUS! The staff was very friendly and the food was so good! I fully recommend this spot. Great to eat before a movie/bowling.

Took 1.5 hours to receive a butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with an order of garlic naan. Made me extremely late back to work... I even ordered ahead of time. Ridiculous. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening at 6:30. It was not busy when I arrived and I was quickly seated. They brought menus and a pitcher of water while I waited for my friend to arrive. My friend (who is Indian) introduced to this cuisine over a decade ago...Her and her mother have never made me a dish I didn't like but I always struggle with what to order when I go out to eat at an Indian restuarant. I've made it a point to try something different every time we go to a new one. I got the veg samosas and masala dosa. The samosas because they're my absolute favorite (seriously, who doesn't like fried pastries stuffed with spicy flavorful mashed potatoes!) and the masala dosa because of all of the lovely recommendations on yelp! The dosa is basically a huge crepe that you tear and eat with your hands. It comes with four dipping "sauces" which are some spicy potatoes, lentil dal, a creamy yogurt based sauce, and a tomato sauce. My friend ordered the kadai paneer and some roti. They refer to paneer as cottage cheese but it's not American cottage cheese. It's a non-melting soft cheese about the consistency of tofu. The samosas came out first and her paneer and my dosa came out shortly after. We were so busy talking and sharing the samosas that we didn't realize that they had brought us an incorrect paneer until they brought us the correct one! They told us to keep both and I was so excited to be able to try TWO more new dishes. The kadai paneer was tomato based but the shaahi paneer (which we didn't order) was cream based. The kadai was tasty but I LOVED the shaahi (my friend was generous and let me take it home.) We had so much food. The dosa was HUGE and the paneers each came with a bowl of rice and naan. We ended up demolishing the samosas, dosa, and roti but took most of the paneer (with rice and naan) home. The waitstaff was very attentive and polite. The owner even came over to make sure everything was going well. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean. I was very, very happy with my experience here I think I've found my new favorite Indian restuarant!!! read more

Love their food and service! I just wish they had the buffet during the week too. Well worth a drive even if it's not close!

Had a bad experience today, we usually go to buffet here on Sundays. Those people left us unattended, didn't come to clear table/take plates/fill water, a person came and took orders for dosa- but never received it. Thought someone will come to check on us, but never happened. The restaurant wasn't crowded, still they failed to take care of customers. Some of the employees seemed new. It was totally disappointing. We are their regular customers and we know some of their employees by name. We raised complained to the manager there about being unattended and he doesn't care it at all. read more

Went based on a high recommended from friends. The place was easy to find in a great shopping/food center by the movies and bowling. Place was small and cute with nice large tables for family style seating. They also have outdoor seating. The menu was large with great options. All items served family style and every table I observed had Togo boxes for the rest of their food, including us. As soon as we sat, we were served water and silverware. Place was clean and nice music playing. We had an appetizer that was filled with potatoes and peas. Both sauces served with it were great but we really loved the green jalapeño sauce. Both the chicken and lamb dishes were amazing! You can tell it was cooked with love and care. It was really authentic with the level of spice and seasonings. The Naan bread was the best bread I ever had and I could be wrapped in it. Lol Highly recommend read more

4.5/5 - Ordered on DoorDash, came within the promised time. The paneer tikka masala was good. There wasn't a hint of sweetness like many other places have, so I liked it a lot. I called to have them make it spicy (there wasn't an option on the app) and they added the perfect amount of spice. The garlic naan was huge and fluffy, and it's reasonably priced! The quantity of rice is less compared to other places, but I don't really eat much rice so I didn't mind. Overall, great place if you're looking for some good Indian food (which surprisingly is hard to find around here). read more

Delicious Indian food and very satisfied! This is a really cute restaurant located in Parkside Town Commons. There's plenty of seating inside but we got our food to go the two times we went here. The food took about 20 minutes to come out but it was hot and tasted fresh. The food isn't that cheap but we recently discovered they have weekly buy one get one entree free deals. We got cheese naan, chicken tandoori, lamb rogan josh, chicken lollipops, and it came with a side of rice. Their cheese naan isn't the cheesiest (I like mine so cheesy the cheese stretches when you pull the bread apart) but it was still really good. The chicken tandoori was also delicious and cooked to perfection. A lot of times places make it too salty. The lamb rogan josh was also amazing and the sauce for it tasted so good with the naan and rice. The chicken lollipop is yummy and always our favorite appetizer to get at Indian restaurants so definitely give it a try! read more

Officially one of my favorite Indian restaurants after multiple visits. My favorite has been all of their buffet options. They have an amazing weekend buffet too with a live dosa station. Everything tastes so fresh every time we're there. The service is good too! Super attentive servers and people bussing tables. We've been during dinner as well and ordered off the menu. Our favorites include the malai kofta, chili baby corn, haryali paneer, and all of the naan options. Everything comes out super hot and tastey. The restaurant itself isn't huge but if you get there early enough for the buffet options there's always plenty of space available. read more

Went here today for Sunday buffet and I was not disappointed! Service was great even though it was buffet (staff was friendly). Ambience was also good. They had a great spread of veg/non-veg options as well as north and South Indian dishes. In addition they had a live dosa counter! The spread included curries, rice dishes, a variety of chutneys and podi for dosa. The drinks included were masala chai and a mango drink. the desserts also had variety of halwa and choc mousse, both equally tasty. Overall wonderful experience and I'd highly recommend the buffet if you want to try a variety of dishes for $19 (well worth the money). My 3.5 YO ate for free. Missed a star because.... - The two seafood/chicken starter dishes were right next to the naan. Which is a huge issue for some strict vegetarians. I even told the staff that a piece could fall into the naan tray or people could easily touch the naan tongs with the meat dishes. But nothing could be rearranged due to the tight space. - some dishes were sssssspicy. It works ok for us but my mom couldn't handle the spice so she stuck to the milder dishes. - it opens at 12 (which is a little later than most Indian restaurant) and gets crowded fast so get here on the dot at 12 if you want the fresh and hot meals. read more

Please understand when I say that they have amazing service here I was not lying! The staff is so caring and attentive! The ambiance is peaceful and family friendly. The food here is just out of this world! I highly recommend getting some garlic naan over the regular (nothing wrong with regular) but the garlic naan has a special place in my heart. Please visit if you enjoy food and friendly service! Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 9.7/10 read more

Was in town for work and tried this place out. Very clean and good service. Very large portions of food and delicious!

Many of the older reviews from 2+ years ago may skew the data for Persis, as my experience here was generally positive. We came close to closing and the waiter made sure to let us know the kitchen was only taking orders for 15 more ish minutes. We placed our order and the food was served quickly. The taste and presentation were good. I liked the food but felt that medium heat was way too much to handle (was snotting and sweating trying to eat the meal haha), but that's on me. Also, the chicken vindaloo was a little sour - perhaps too much tomatoes / tomato paste? But these are all minor complaints, we still were stuffed by the end of the meal and had enough leftovers for lunch the next day :) read more

We ordered Gongora chicken and paneer jalfrezi. Our host was Naresh Food was delicious, flavorful and Naresh provided excellent hospitality. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the spice level was as per our request. Paneer jalfrezi was terrific as well.

Best Indian food of my life. Dear God, get the chicken tikka masala! We were in raptures over it. I also got the palak paneer which was wonderful with lots of fresh herbs. Service was friendly and attentive but didn't hover. Bathrooms were SPOTLESS. Love this place!!! Will be back. read more

The kadai chicken & garlic naan are delicious!!! This is my go-to restaurant for Indian.

Ok, this was my first time trying Indian cuisine. I've heard about the abundance of spices and that the taste can be astounding. I also went with a friend that has eaten Indian food before so was trying a different place. Chicken Biryani (Boneless) is what I had. The portion was enough to eat three meals. I asked for medium on the spiciness and was PERFECT for my liking. The rice and vegetables mixed with these perfectly grilled chicken made a believer out of me and will be back. My friend had the Butter Chicken and thought Persis's version was better than the place she was going!!! Service was swift and were checked on consistently. read more

The lunch buffet sucks especially the vegetarian section. Ordered a dosa but it never came. The check was 18-20% higher than the food price which we didn't notice and we tipped on top of that, then realized later when it was too late. Beware. read more

I can't recommend this restaurant. It has excellent reviews from most people, but the buffet shockingly costs $19.99! I really love spicy food. However, all of the items on the buffet were so hot that they were inedible--even with a lot of yogurt mixed in with them. It was impossible to enjoy the flavor of the individual dishes because they were so overwhelmly spicy The only food that wasn't overly hot was the dessert. The service was fine, though. read more

Ordered the goat biryani on 6/02/23. It had enough salt to put the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake to shame. In other words, had this been a liquid concoction, I would be floating in it. Basically what I'm trying to say is that the ridiculously copious amount of salt in this dish rendered it nearly inedible. And don't even get me started on paucity of the goat pieces in the biryani. Practically non-existent with the exception of a few shredded pieces of meat. Highly disappointed with this dish when you charge nearly $20 for what was essentially grossly over-salted long grain rice. Would not recommend. read more

We've been back a couple times for takeout since we first tried it a few months ago, and Persis is easily one of our favorite Indian restaurants. Food has been consistently delicious. For our anniversary this week, we got our usuals but also tried the masala dosa and a few other things. Everything was tasty. I haven't ever experienced dining in here so cannot speak to the service or experience but look forward to trying out their buffet in better non-COVID times. read more

Just had an amazing and satisfying Saturday lunch buffet style meal at Persis Indian Grill which is conveniently located in Parkside Town Commons, right off of the 540 exit on Highway 55. Came with a couple of my Indian friends who highly recommended this place. The interior is very clean and spacious with plenty of table seating for small groups or large parties. We arrived at opening and the place filled up very quickly which says a lot about it. The buffet is setup with a wide variety of food ranging from sauces, soups, non-vegetarian, vegetarian and desserts. I sampled a little bit of everything and truly enjoyed it all. The flavors were rich and very pleasing. An excellent mix of salty, sweet, and spicy (but not terribly spicy). Buffet value overall is great for the price. The service was fast and friendly. I'm definitely coming back here and I urge anyone who enjoys Indian food to come check them out. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Persis. I can only handle mild heat, but that was no problem. I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Our favorite was the Chicken Shahi Kurma. The taste was so delightful, I could not get enough of it! The rice and butter naan were delicious accompaniments. We look forward to returning to Persis. read more

This is an solid Indian restaurant in West Cary. I went for the buffet lunch on Saturday around 1:00. At that time, the restaurant was fairly empty. However, a few big parties came in and almost all the tables were full. Pro tip- this place can fill up quickly, so you're best bet is to come during off-peak hours. The servers were very friendly. They were very quick to take away dirty plates and bring out water bottles. I have no complaints about the service at all! The decor is very nice. The restaurant is clean and has tasteful art hung up on all the walls. As for the food, overall it was pretty good! There are many selections ranging from staples of biriyani, naan, and daal plus some new favorites that I tried including a fried fish and baby corn soup. The food was definitely tasty. Overall, 4 stars because the food and experience is overall good, but nothing went above and beyond to merit as a 5 star experience. read more

Great food - terrible service. We ordered 2 kids meals for our kids. After waiting for a while, we asked and turns out that (a) they forgot to make them and (b) they were out of what we ordered for the kids. So we placed a new order for 2 different kids meals. At the end, they charged us for ALL 4 kids meals, including the ones that they never gave us. My husband was so frustrated he just wanted to pay and leave. Even though they knew they overcharged us by 2 meals and had a handheld machine that would have made it easy to remove the charges, they didn't. read more

This is so far my favorite Indian restaurant. I live in Wake Forest and I drive all the way to Morrisville to eat there sometimes. Every time I go there the food tastes fresh and delicious. The first time I went to this restaurant was during lunch time but I got there late and it was almost time for them to close. I went to the buffet and realized that they didn't have enough butter chicken anymore and one of the guys heard when I was talking to my husband and he came to me and told me that they would make me a new one if I wanted. So they did. They made fresh butter chicken and brought it to my table. Everything tasted very good! Their garlic naan is pretty good! read more

Tasted great. The buffet was extensive and very interesting. There was no shortage of food. Later on in the day, I didn't feel so good.

Great lunch buffet on weekends with lots of different options. One of our go-to spots for Indian!

One of the worst lunches I've ever had. We were seated well over an hour before they closed the lunch buffet, but clearly we should not have been seated at all. Most of the lunch buffet was not stocked and many big vats of dishes, all of them classics like masala, white rice and butter chicken, were left out of stock and never refilled even when asked. The service was also poor, dare I say almost nonexistent. They were more consumed with cleaning up and getting people out than serving the guests currently seated. We witnessed guests having to get up to make requests for drinks. We also observed the manager review all the empty vats, stir the nonexistent food, then retreat back into the kitchen never to be seen again. They even sat people as we were leaving- and I almost wanted to warn them to turn away unless they wanted to eat naan bread and some dry wings with a few sauces- basically all they had out for us to eat. The prices were also absurd - we paid almost $50 for a terrible lunch for two. Heed my warning: do not visit Persis Indian Grill if you're interested in a delicious Indian buffet. Because this is not that. Viceroy in Durham is a much better option, and honestly would have been the same price with way more food available and way better service. I will never return and I urge anyone else considering this restaurant to consider otherwise. read more
