Persis Indian Grill

This is a very good casual restaurant. If you like affordable Persian food this is the place. I’ve been there 3 – 4 times in the last 8 months or so for lunch. It’s a clean, comfortable environment. You can’t go wrong.

I’ve given this place (both Persis and the new owners) tons of business over the past year. Things started going downhill just before it switched owners and last night was my last meal there. I usually get food to go once a week — same order every time — butter chicken (it comes with rice) and two butter naan. The last three times I’ve been the naan has been burnt to the point where I only taste the charred part and not the bread. I like my bread cooked but not black. Last night they forgot the rice and only put in one naan that was barely eatable. They threw in two samosas in the same container the rice is usually in which is why I didn’t notice this until i got home. If I didn’t live 15 minutes away I would have gone back but it wasn’t worth it. As for the butter chicken I liked the Persis version much more than the new owner’s version. The fact that this place is ALWAYS empty should tell you something.

Worst Indian food I have ever had. I ordered chciken biryani. Easy enough. White meat only. I didn’t get that. What I got was a lot of weird connective tissue. I literally had two tiny bites of edible chicken. The flavor of this rice is horrible. DO NOT EAT HERE. I will NEVER go again.

Ok people this is not a great restaurant. The sauces were watered and they were using the cheapest chicken pieces possible. Chicken tandoori with only legs and butter chicken with the smallest chicken thighs I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. Not worth $ 10. I really don’t understand the hyped reviews for this place.

After reading all the very positive reviews about Persis, my wife and granddaughter decided to try this restaurant. We were visiting our son in Potomac and would need to drive to Rockville. Being a Sunday afternoon, a late lunch was in order, but since neither the Unilocal listing nor the restaurant had any indications of their hours, we called to make sure they are open. Their rsponse to our call, was yes we are open. Nothing else. We arrived at 3:30 and were told that they were closed for lunch as of 3:00. Why didn’t they say that to us when we called? Our experience was very disappointing. Perhaps we will get to taste their food another time.
However, since we were quite hungry, we prowled the shopping center and came across the «Asian Taste and Tapioca Jumbo Jumbo Café». This small Chinese restaurant is a carry– out with a few tables. See my review of them!

Had carryout from this place this evening. It was the WORST food ever. Horrible. Minerva is so much better. Don’t even waste your time, people.

Ordered carryout several times. Been fairly disappointed most of the time but I keep coming back because their menu selection is very good and I figure I keep ordering the wrong things. Some of the dishes are not bad and seem quite authentic (not fantastic by any means). Biryani is avg, but nothing special. I am from south India so I know what tastes authentic. Portions are very small. Today I ordered Chicken curry and was charged $ 10 and they gave me 4 small pieces of chicken. I thought they must have made a mistake and sent me an appetizer so I tried to call them, however their phone has been busy for 1 hour. In my opinion Minerva and many of the Herndon, Va spots are much better.
