Wow! Great Indian food. We were actually heading to another restaurant but saw this and tried instead. So glad we did. Paneer masala, chicken tikka masala and fish curry. The service was truly great and restaurant was nicely decorated.

Should be a four, the food was pretty good ...but the service wasn't and there were several other misgivings. Our waitress prioritized other tables leaving us waiting when we arrived and also when we left making me chase the check; I hate that! No refills. No follow up. No tea. No ice for the ice water. She didn't even run the food out. Sure, she was sufficiently pleasant but not good.So, you'll get more food here but you'll also pay more; they sort of push you into buying larger "family" style portions and everything's also a la carte down to the naan which isn't "the usual" Indian experience. One main, rice, and an appetizer was enough for two people with a boat load of take away. It's a shame they don't do a lunch menu or offer combinations because the pricing sort of forced a lack of variety you'll not get at other Indian restaurants unless you want to pay for all the extras. Canned sodas and plastic condiment/portions cups didn't bespeak of the quasi snazzy atmosphere and price point. Overall, meh.

As an Indian myself, it so refreshing and exciting to find an authentic Indian restaurants with all the yummy traditional dishes that remind me of my home country. Absolutely loved all the dishes I've had so far and love bringing my friends and family to this place (they enjoyed this restaurant just as much!!). Service is incredible, the staff is very friendly, professional and efficient. Like the ambiance of the restaurant as well, clean and relatively casual. Whether you're Indian and miss food from back home, or someone looking to try this cuisine for the first time - this is the place to come visit! Totally recommend!

Meh. I was genuinely excited to try Persis for lunch today - they split their hours, open for lunch, close, and then re-open for dinner. But upon arrival, I got the feeling they were under-staffed and scrambling to take care of their customers. The restaurant - simple but pretty - has indoor and outdoor seating, and I get the feeling they do a very strong take-out business. My Shrimp Vindaloo was good, the curry itself was delicious, but I was not a fan of the rice. I don't know what it was, but I should have gone with the naan instead. I ordered a Dr. Pepper, which came in a can (which I love), but I had to ask for my check twice. I doubt I'll return, but I did appreciate how clean this restaurant was.

The 4 of us got the following, and we still had leftovers:Entries come with basmati rice, and can be had mild or medium.Vegetable korma: this was a surprise hit. I love korma and this is better than many of the Indian places I've tried in NY. The veggies were nice and had some paneer in it too, but I want to try a meat korma next time.Butter chicken: a nice standard one, with a little more tomato flavor than I'm used to. The chicken was just slightly dry but overall this was a good dish.Shrimp biryani: we had this as medium spice and think that was the way to go as it added a lot of flavor. It also comes with two side sauces although I don't think it adds much to the dish. The shrimp was seasoned well and somewhat tender.We also got garlic and chili Naan - thought the garlic was better.

We tried Persis in n a recommendation from a student in my class. He gave me a list to buy and that's what we went with! For entrees the butter chicken was delicious, the chicken biryani rice was the perfect spice level ( I stuck with mild spice) Chicken 65 and mango lassi smoothie along with garlic naan were the best! This was literally enough food to have three meals for 2 people! I am told the chili chicken is also delicious! The people were so friendly and the food was exactly what we hoped for and expected. We will be back!

I admit, I was a little skeptical when I saw a 4.8 rated Indian restaurant in Florida, in Lake Mary of all places. This restaurant blew my expectations out of the water. The flavor, the freshness, the quantity, the diversity of menu, I am genuinely impressed. 5 stars.

This has got to be the nicest looking Indian restaurant in this area! I loved the Indian music videos playing on the TV. We ordered the Garlic Naan which was sooo good, I ended up ordering another. The butter chicken was delicious and the sauce was perfect with rice and the naan. We also got the Paneer Tikka Masala and that was okay. The best dish here is hands down the Lamb Biryani, very aromatic and flavorful. The Lamb was tender and spiced perfectly. The Mango Lassi was good but the Mango Custard was even better, wish it was a bit larger though.I wish they had a lunch special here as it can be pricey but it is definitely quality food. The food and the ambiance make this place my go to choice for Indian food in Lake Mary.

Had always wanted to try out this "Indian" place ever since it opened. Today I finally got that chance and was not disappointed. Was a late lunch so not many people in the restaurant. Greeted promptly and sat down. Had the chicken Kadai and it was really good, got medium and was just the right spice with a decent amount of chicken. Malai Kofta was also on point, the sauce was perfect and had a great taste. Had read about the garlic naan and they were well deserved. Lots of garlic just the way it should be. Was with friends but will be making the drive back with the family.
