| - WOOOHOOOOOO!! Alright, FINALLY the wish for my most favorite cuisine in my own area has been blessed and Persis FortMill ROCKS!! Now Persis is the only Indian restaurant in the whole FortMill area. Having moved to the area not very long ago, I was worried not to have a place for Indian food near by and normally we would drive all the way to Ballantyne or Pineville to calm the nerves. Me and my lady personally cannot be more happier !!
Unique - Yes, the owners of this location has made it a point that their restaurant shouldn't look like just another Indian restaurant and they scored it big time. Amazing contemporary interior design, with India's TajMahal mural on the right side wall of the restaurant (giving an feel of India) and an amazing brick panel walls and semi rustic wood shelves and trim in the bar area on the left side of the restaurant. They have this beautiful mini wine cellar, which I have not seen before in any non-luxury Indian restaurants. Tall ceilings, spacious area, plenty seating - booths, tables/chairs, plenty bar stools around the bar, etc.,
The bar looks sassy and I love that bar. Have not had any drinks in the bar though so not sure how the bartender is but the look of that bar is amazing and hey they have this BlueMoon beer light sign (so I was sold instantly). The rustic looking wooden shelves on the walls having various wine and liquor bottles gives that warmth to the bar and make it look more lively.
FOOD - I found my new favorite now. Its Cut Mirchi (chili pepper and chickpea batter deep fried). Never knew Cut Mirchi and beer would go so well together. Its a simple vegetarian appetizer. if you like spicy bites, go for it. It comes with a side of tangy mint chutney that is just damn awesome.
Egg Curry - Simple yet so decadent. Mildly spiced, with a touch of tangy flavor, lots of eggs cut in halves, and plenty portion. Two of us couldn't finish it and had to pack to go. Loved the flavors and taste.
Chicken Biryani - I wouldn't say it was out-of-the-world taste but still delicious. Aroma was great, chicken was perfectly cooked, long grained basmati rice sure had the quality, mildly spiced and good portion for two to share. Egg curry and the biryani together was the bomb.
Complimentary - Fryums(that's what I call them) and Chutneys was good and the chutneys was tasting so good along with pickled onions.
Service - was good too, the owners themselves were running most of the show. They welcomed all the guests, periodically visited the tables to make sure the guests were doing fine, asked if the food was tasting good, etc., for a restaurant this young (5 weeks old) they are doing a good job. I am sure they would need a lot more support and hands once this runs full house every night. Had a chance to talk to the owners, they seemed really down to earth and taking this business very seriously. I also talked about having a Yelp event to bring in more traffic and get this place the ultimate fame it deserves.
