Somedays I'm just craving Indian food and I don't want the buffet. I found Persis when I was in such a mood while in South Charlotte. Yes, they offer the buffet and it seems that's their bread butter for the numerous office employees in the area. However do not ignore their menu.
After a hiccup when I arrived after they had closed after lunch, I came in already knowing what I wanted. As it was late lunch, I was starving so I started with samosas and fresh mango juice. it's such a pleasure to have fresh juice available in the middle of the day. The samosas were fresh made and light, the breading not too heavy as can happen. As my main course came a wheat roti flat bread with Daal Tadaka, a yellow lentil tempered with onion, tomato, and red chili served a generous bowl of basmati rice. I was very full and had enough left over to take home for dinner.
Service was very attentive, a little on the hovering side, but I appreciate that more than the opposite. Parking is easy in the strip mall and it a multi state chain. They are sticklers for hours, I've arrived 5 minutes late for their lunch service to find the door locked and been turned away when I arrived 10 minutes early before dinner service started but the door was open.
