Persis Indian Grill

Visited today with my family for the Sunday weekend buffet, and this review reflects all of our opinions. I’m not connected to the restaurant in any way—just sharing our genuine experience. The restaurant is small, so don’t expect a huge 40–50 item spread, but the dishes they do offer are high quality and thoughtfully chosen. The mild spice levels were perfect for my kids, and there’s a good balance of vegetarian and non‑vegetarian options. We tried: Raghi Soup, Pallipalayam Gobi, Sabudana Vada, Sambar, Dal Tomato, Veg Biryani, Chicken Majestic, Chicken Tikka, Guntur Goat Curry, Kerala Shrimp Curry, Mangalore Chicken Curry, Sweet Pongal, Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, Okra Fry, Dosa, Naan, Papad, Raita, Gulab Jamun, Strawberry Mousse, and Masala Chai. 👍What We Liked High‑quality food with a balanced veg/non‑veg selection Mild spice levels (great for kids, and you can spice it up if needed) Goat curry had fewer bones and was refilled promptly Friendly and attentive service 👎 What Could Be Better The place is small, so you may have to wait during busy hours Sambar was extremely sour Suggestions Add Indian ice cream to the dessert section Prepare food in smaller batches to reduce wastage and keep items fresher Include one Indo‑Chinese dish, make the starters little crispy and a pickle option Overall, a good family‑friendly buffet with quality dishes. We enjoyed our visit and would return.

Parkside Indian Grill is always a satisfying experience. The buffet is well organized and offers great options for both vegetarian and non vegetarian diners, with separate sections that make choosing easy. The live dosa counter stands out with fresh, hot dosas made on the spot. They also have good dessert options to enjoy after the meal. Starting with soup and lemonade and ending with a comforting cup of chai brings the whole experience together. It feels complete and authentic, especially if you love Indian food.

Sunday special buffet - Visited today and had a wonderful experience! The service was excellent, and the food quality truly stood out. There was an impressive variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, along with a live dosa counter that added a special touch. Everything was fresh, served hot, and full of flavor. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommend trying the chicken chops, street-style chicken tikka, tawa pomfret, shrimp masala, Hyderabadi goat curry, and gulab jamun — each dish was absolutely delicious and worth it!

Hotel Parkside is easily one of the best Indian spots in Raleigh. We ordered a huge spread, and every dish was a hit. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and creamy—exactly how it should be. If you want something unique, the Curry Leaves Chicken Dry has an incredible aromatic punch that you can't find elsewhere. Between the Goat Curry, the tender Malai Chicken, and the variety of mouth-watering Tandoori dishes, we were blown away. We finished with Rice Kheer and Mango Mousse, both of which were delicious. Totally worth it!"

We were here with our family for lunch buffet and the food was outstanding. It was a huge spread, with live dosa counter and each dish was beautifully presented & flavorful. You can truly taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Thanks to Mr. Murali - he was incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly for our big group. The service was exceptional from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be back, Highly recommend this restaurant ..!!
