'Too much is so good, you can't stop eating it. The tandoor-baked breads are not mere swabs for sauce but could be eaten, and enjoyed, on their own; the naan with cilantro and rock salt is terrific, as is the kulcha richly stuffed with minced lamb. Masala Art offers combinations you don't see often around here, but even its more familiar dishes can be revelations. Consider its samosas. They're flakier than a lot of the competition, and their filling of peas, potatoes and sweet raisins tastes fresher, too. A burst of cardamom in every bite helps. In the same vein, soft logs of minced lamb pulse with heat from jalapeno peppers, a shock offset with breezy mint. Pureed spinach is a vibrant green, flecked with corn and rich with garlic...' - WashingtonPost.com

Once again, Persimmon came through with terrific food--and they do that CONSISTENTLY. The service was totally professional and friendly as well--tops in my book. And while Persimmon is not the fanciest restaurant around, it's ambience is totally comfortable and welcoming. Everyone here is doing a superb job. This is one great restaurant, and I am so happy they are less than a mile from my home.
