We love our Indian food - MILD and Persis delivered on taste & heat. The decor is just a clean cafe with touches of India, nothing fancy. Service is friendly, yet slightly spread thin. The hostess on phone when we enter & when we left was off putting, but not a deal breaker. Food was tasty. Our favorites were the shrimp appetizer- a nice combination of heat & sweet. Plus, the Persis Special Shrimp Curry and the Butter Chicken was very yummy. We would recommend the Naan combo basket and the Mango -Yogurt drink, too. When you leave a restaurant discussing what dishes you want to order next time you must have enjoyed the experience. That was us. read more

So good! I've never had Indian food. My friend ordered butter chicken, tikka masala that came with two huge helpings of rice and different flavored bread. So so yummy! I was not sure what I was expecting but it's surpassed anything I imagined. The staff was so friendly and courteous. We will be back! read more

Persis Indian Grill - Girl Dinner - Indian Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Located on Bryan Rd. Between Lake St. Louis and O'Fallon, this location has been multiple Indian restaurants. I used to patron this establishment when it was known as Tandoori King, and I thought it was good then! Now it's known as Persis Grill and it's even better! They updated the interior to give it more of a modern feel and offer all you can eat buffet dining inside. I got my food to go so didn't get to try the buffet options, but the food I did order was amazing! Best Samosas I've ever had! They're giant and have a delicious dough shell filled with potatoes and peas that go great dipped in their mint and cilantro sauce! The chicken saag was full of flavor with the chicken being moist and delectable. It had just the right amount of spice that added to the dish without overpowering the flavor. Both my dishes were prepared at a medium heat level with the saag being a bit spicier than the Aloo Gobi Marsala. The Marsala was also delicious, offering a vegetarian option with potatoes and cauliflower to pair with my chicken saag. They do close from 2:30-5pm so schedule accordingly! read more

Excellent fresh and authentic food, large variety of menu choices, clean and decorative interior and terrific service! Will definitely be back again! I highly recommend! read more

The lunch combo was great, and the employees there were incredibly nice and friendly!

I've eaten at Persis Indian Grill a few times and the food is so flavorful and the meats so tender, the customer service has also been really great. They recently added upscale touches to their interior that makes the dine in experience more enjoyable too - large comfortable booths, modern decor, etc. A few of my favorite dishes - Shrimp Tikka, Baby Corn Manchurian, Chicken Dum Biryani, Pepper Chicken, Garlic Naan & for dessert the Apricot Delight! They have a full bar including Indian beers & sodas, I like the Taj Mahal (lagar) and Thums Up (stronger version of coke-a-cola). The menu is huge so I look forward to my next visit to try some additional items.

Delicious food, great service and clean restaurant. Surprised there was a happy hour promotion. 5/5 the Buttered Lamb!

This is the second time I've had Persis and it really is the best Indian restaurant in town! I love Indian food so I spoiled myself tonight with the Chicken Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi, and boneless Chicken Biryani, in anticipation of leftovers. I could have eaten it all at once, it was so delicious. Looking forward to my indulgent lunch tomorrow! read more

Food was great - place was busy on Valentine's Day - definitely going again! Nice ambiance and good value

Wow, this was my 2nd time to Persis Indian Grill (after many years) and I left feeling just as pleased, if not better! It is NOT a fabrication: Persis makes the BEST garlic naan bread I have EVER had! There is loads of garlicky deliciousness and it tastes so wonderful with the rice and dishes. The food was delightful and had great portions. Also, is this the largest beer I've ever consumed in one sitting?! Perhaps. Thanks, Persis! I'll be back (and sooner, next time!) for more. PS they are going through renovations right now but still make sure to host an enjoyable atmosphere and excellent service despite the temporary seating area. Support your local businesses! read more

Tried Persis for the first time today and was delighted! The food was delicious and the service was just the right amount of attentive. I was able to get a tea off menu that hit the spot, and I love that each diner can have the spice level adjusted to their own palate. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is great tasty food with a great menu and tasty mango lassi and a lot of great beer options and a fantastic atmosphere. read more

Persis Indian Grill - *Mango Lassi - Indian Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

I am a huge fan of the lamb curry from Persis! The spiciest level is just the perfect slightly-too-spicy kind of spicy that I love. I do wish they would give a bit more rice with the entree, considering how spicy and how much curry they give (love that!) an appropriate portion of rice would be appreciated. I have not had a chance to dine in, however the interior is simple and clean. The host is always quick to help and helps me promptly. read more

The food is good nothing special. But the service is horrible. We were only one of three tables Food come out in waves for a group of six. The dosa comes out first then 15 minutes later another entree or two make an appearance finally 40 minutes after the dosa arrives the final two entrees make an arrive. The waitress only came to take the order and deliver the order. Never refilled water, never asked if we wanted more drinks or deserts. The insult is asking for a tip after a 15% service charge. I will not be back. read more

Nice people and great food. We have been coming here since the name changed and long before that. My only issue is that they do not havea chicken korma on the menu. I have always eaten in, and it's a pretty clean place with plenty of parking. I REALLY enjoy the breakfast dosa - served after 10am on Friday and Saturdays. It is as long as the table, and very flavorful. My other favorite is the tikka masala. Best Indian restaurant within 20 miles. read more

Persis Indian Grill - Giant breakfast dosa - Indian Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

We ordered Chicken Pakoda, Dosa, Chicken 65, Parota with Mutton curry and Chicken Kodi. Everything was tasty and in the right texture except Mutton curry. Mutton could have cooked little more. My son had a bit of struggle to chew the meat. However, nothing to complain about rest of the food. Service was excellent and ambiance is perfect for a casual family dinner. read more

The food was fresh, hot, delicious and plentiful. We did a takeout of several dishes at different spice levels and were pleased with how the order was taken, repeated back to ensure it was correct. Everything was ready on time as stated. I highly recommend the tandoori chicken here as it is some of the best I have had in years. The lamb seekh kebabs were a bit dry. Everything else including the saag paneer and lamb curry was on point. The service was excellent and although it was take out and considering how service in some businesses has degraded we were pleasantly surprised. This is one of many restaurants we have visited in and around St. Louis, Missouri. And they're truly setting the national standard. You won't find a fancy restaurant inside, but a foodie won't care about the looks or the decor which simple and functional. I can't wait to dine in and try the South Indian dishes. read more

Visited this place the first time (after reading through the Yelp reviews) with an understanding that the friendliness of the staff wasn't what I was going for. The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary or spectacular from other Indian restaurants in the area. In fact, they offer plain white rice with their meal instead of Indian rice with spices like other restaurants. You pay $10 if you want the good rice....and that's after they confuse you so much about what you're asking for! Tonight we ordered takeout. They were way behind. Two customers were extremely irritated and had been waiting over 1/2 hour. They didn't alert us when our food was ready, so wasted time waiting instead. Only gave us 2 of our 3 meals. Communication is poor as well as customer service. The food is expensive but good. Portions are average. If you can find another Indian restaurant in the area, by all means try there first. Otherwise, you can give this one a shot knowing your food will taste good but it might cost you some hassle. read more

We got 2 orders of Chicken Tikka Masala. The temperature was medium which was spicy enough for us. Great flavors. I only wish we got more meat instead of so much rice. The garlic naan was very good as well! We have only gotten takeout, but it does seem like a decent crowd inside when we go in! read more

I had the chicken tiki masala. Sooo good! The naan bread was awesome. Restaurant was clean and associates were super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

very good food and atmosphere and the staff was very nice and friendly. I would recommend you go here.

Great food and service this place is the GOAT for Indian food in MO End your great meal with a Mango Lassi read more

This place was yummy! 100% recommend. I don't remember if Indian culture is more relaxed when it comes to table service, but this isn't a place where they immediately come and get a drink order as soon as you sit down, but that is only based on my first and only visit. Maybe it's better other nights, but this place wasn't super-busy, so maybe not??? But I'll be back to give them another try, for sure. With that being said, the food, the most important thing to me, was amazing! We ordered some naan, Gobi 65, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Butter Paneer (veg version of Butter Chicken). The Gobi 65 is a fried cauliflower dish and they were better than any wings I've ever had. They were saucy, yet still had a fried crunchiness about them. Naan was warm and fresh. And both entrees were served super hot! I'm a vegetarian, my boyfriend is not. And while both the chicken and paneer were good, even my boyfriend thought my Butter Paneer was tastier than the Chicken Tikka Masala - I whole-heartedly agreed. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the restaurant wasn't the cleanest. Menus were a little crusty, and the tables were wiped down, but maybe not as well as they could have been. And the atmosphere really felt more like an ice cream parlor. It just wasn't as cozy as I would've liked. Definitely a place to get takeout from if you live near O'Fallon. read more

Persis is authentic and amazing Indian cuisine. My sisters and I have eaten here three times in recent weeks. We have experienced a wide variety, as pictured. Everything is freshly made and so good. Staff is also very friendly. Not pictured is the chicken curry, which I also have had. Very good!! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who desires to experience authentic Indian food. And their mango lassi is awesome too! read more

The food is delicious and it's yet another option close to me. Service, however, could be improved. Either they're short staffed or they're not aware of when they have a customer waiting to order, which makes for a less than ideal experience. Prices are decent and restaurant is large enough to accommodate enough people so I could be back. read more

Ordered here for the first time. I would say portion size is small. And medium is Very HOT! I love Indian food and if you love heat you would love this place but I don't think I will order from here again for 1. Hot 2. Portion size 3. Just wasn't for me. read more

Fabulous Indian Food! We enjoyed the 65 chicken and the biryani chicken. Great for dine in or carry out. Fast service. Vegetarian and Gluten free options. Ask for mild spiciness to keep the fire down. We will be back. read more

The food was very good and seemed very authentic in comparison to other experiences with Indian cuisine. Portions were good size and spice levels were appropriate to what was ordered. read more

While taking a look at their tiny buffet, I observed a roach on the table behind the register. That was enough for me to think twice about my choice and go elsewhere. read more

My husband and I went to the lunch buffet and the food was delicious! the cost was very reasonable and the service was excellent.

Great place. Use the cash option. Veteran tip. Went with the tikka 4/5 spice and three garlic naan. Great decision making on my part

Samson and Chilli Paneer were excellent starters. Chicken Tikka and Biryani were also excellent. "Hot" is pretty spicy/hot if you are not accustomed to good Indian food. However if you are, the "hot" is just right. Ordered delivery so can't comment on dining in or service, but the food was great. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

Best Indian food I've ever had. My 5 star review is strictly on the food. The naan was hot, fresh, and had the perfect amount of softness and crispiness. The Biryani was huge, perfectly spiced, and fantastic. Chicken Tika Masala? The same! I was disappointed because they were out of the goat, but the chicken was fantastic. As I said earlier, the 5 star review is ONLY for the food. The service wasn't terribly efficient, good, or easy to understand. People that arrived after us got their order placed and served before us. It was a little frustrating. The guys working there seemed like they had never run a restaurant before, and didn't have any experience in a service industry. But they sure know how to cook! Man that food was good. The food was totally worth the weird and misunderstood service. I'll DEFINITELY be coming back! Who's with me? read more

The food here is AMAZING! My girlfriend & I come here at least 2x every week because it is so good! The service is quick and the staff is incredibly respectful as well as helpful throughout the dining experience. Our go to's entrees are the Chana Masala & Chicken Tika Masala but we also can't ever forget to get ourselves an order of the Samosa as well as Garlic Naan before leaving. It's a family friendly restaurant and we love sitting down to eat here when we have the time. When you come in here to eat you can tell the owner and his wife have created something special here in O'Fallon. The food is delicious and I encourage everyone to give these guys a try because you will not be disappointed! read more

I liked the goat curry. The biriyani was also tasty (goat). The vegetable samosas on the other hand were terrible. I feel like they were not made in house. I feel like they were not made to order. As soon as they got cold, the filling just plopped out from the shell which was not crispy enough. It was wet in some areas. I feel like this appetizer has to be perfect. It's a staple in Indian cuisine. They failed miserably. Also, what happened to the mint chutney???? They gave me some peanut sauce. And some other sauce that I could not eat. Plain white rice was good. Overall, the Food was very expensive. I would not order from them again unless they start serving proper Indian food. Don't be sloppy! read more

First time our family ventured out for Indian food and we were not disappointed. We had an amazing dinner! Everything was fresh and delicious. Give it a try! read more
