If I had to summarize my experience at Pari Authentic Indian Cuisine in one word, it would probably be “solid.” On the one hand, there are several things to enjoy here: the baingan bartha featured a delightfully balanced mélange of aromatic spices, the tandoori chicken was moist and delicately seasoned, and the mango lassis were thick, sweet, and simply decadent. Furthermore, for the chili heads in the audience, the heat level is on point: “extra spicy” at Pari promises a numb mouth, copious amounts of sweat, and ultimately that familiar feeling of pain-induced bliss. On the flip-side, not all of the dishes were successfully planned or executed. Pari’s vegetarian appetizer platter, for instance, resembled nothing if not a failed experiment involving the deep fryer (imagine if, instead of embarking on his chosen career path, a young Victor Frankenstein decided to pursue his lesser-known dream of becoming a line cook). Greasy and heavy (except for the pakoras, which were surprisingly tasty), and helped not a bit by the thick sour cream dipping sauce, the end of the appetizer course found me desperately scavenging the platter for shreds of lettuce. As for the naan, well, all I can say is that it was there. Pari’s prices, meanwhile, range from reasonable (appetizers, naan) to slightly high (vegetarian entrees) to exorbitant (non-vegetarian entrees). Ultimately, the food ranged from average to above average, and for the most part was worth the expense. *I have to add a special note here that Paris staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and all-around pleasant.

If you want Indian deliciousness, then you need to get yourself to this restaurant. Everything was amazing: from the service to the food. The chutneys complimented the papadums well, veggie and lamb samosas were very tasty especially with the cilantro yogurt sauce, and the Mutter (peas) Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese) is cooked in a creamy cashew sauce and became my new favorite dish. The sauce does not have an overpowering cashew nut flavor. It is very mild and savory. Cant forget their various options for Naan. The garlic naan was perfectly chewy and flavorful. Live too far? Come check out the Holden Arboretum or another green space, work up an appetite by walking/hiking/running, then go Hulk Smash some food from Pari. You wont be disappointed...and if you are then thats on YOU.

I was very disappointed. I would not return for anything but the buffet. The food is very good, but the pricing and portions are outrageous. These are some of the cheapest ingredients and least labor intensive cooking in the world. I see their parking lot empty almost every time I drive by. I hate driving all the way to Mayfield or Solon for Indian food, but I simply cannot afford these prices. This is what San Francisco, Portland, and Hollywood charge for the best Indian food in the country. And Im sorry, its just not a fair price to ask. I know many people who feel this way, but they dont complain, they just dont go. You would get more business with cheaper prices. Maybe a happy hour too.

Having lived most of my life in North West England, in an area where there was a good Indian restaurant on almost every street corner, I have spent the last 10 years hoping to repeat the experience in N.E. Ohio. Now my search is over. The food at Pari Authentic Indian Cuisine is excellent and the range of the menu ensures that all tastes are catered for. The only surprise for me was the quantity of each dish. I ordered what I would have ordered back in England, and ended up taking half of the meal home with me. I will definitely be returning to Pari (should be called Pari-dise).

I really like this place. The food is excellent. The place is clean. The wait staff (particularly Bishal) is very friendly and professional. I wont attempt to name my favorite dishes as I partake in the buffet. Come in for the buffet and try a little of everything. If you see a middle aged caucasian fellow sitting by himself working on his computer say hello. You wont be disappointed by Pari Authentic Indian Cuisine.

Having eaten in nearly all the available Indian restaurants in NE Ohio, this clearly has the best food of any of them. Small, authentic, and friendly. I like my food well seasoned, but when I ask for extra hot, it usually comes out medium. Not here. They got it right. On the other side, my wife likes her food mild, very mild. They got that right too! Excellent meal. Highly recommended.

A nice indian restaurant in the old Guidos building. Nice servers, that are helpful and attentive. The food is excellent in the quality of the ingredients and portion size is more than enough to share. I had the goat biryani and it had big pieces of goat meat and a good amount of rice that good mix of ingredients. This is definitely a place you should go to at least once.

Menu is uninspired and both standard menu and buffet is overpriced for Indian stand-bys. Tandoori chicken is often dry. Raita is far too runny without substance. The highlight of meals is the well-prepared and freshbaked naan or kulchi. Puppadums, when available, are rather tasteless and the tamarind sauce is also too runny.

Cute little Indian place in hidden away Chesterland when you wouldnt expect to find it. The lamb samosa was delicious as was the chicken saag. Cant wait to go back on an emptier stomach so I can have room for dessert. Reasonably priced and Anshu (sorry if I misspelled it) gives excellent service. I cant wait to go back.

My favorite Indian food in the entire Cleveland area. On a heat scale of 1 - 5 (Indian hot), 3 is plenty, and will likely get a few drops of sweat forming on your forehead. But the food remains tasty & delicious. Been here about 10 times so far. Never been disappointed.

Excellent Indian food, and not just by Ohio standards but for anywhere in America! The Malai Kofta and Mastani Palak are two of my favorites, but everything Ive tried has been delicious. If you are new to Indian cuisine, go for the lunch buffet.

Great Indian buffet! We have been here many times. I wish the food was spicier but it is excellent. Our Indian options are sadly limited in NEO - but if you are near this place, and like Indian food, you need to check it out.

Best Indian food in Cleveland area. The restaurant is small and the decor is simple. The food is great. The paneer has a great texture and rich flavor. The roti is super soft. The biryani has complex flavors.

Perfect every time. Just finished my meal after my 5th or 6th visit here. The food is excellent, the service is warm, friendly and fast, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Perfect all the way around.

Enjoyed the Curry Chicken at medium heat. It was not bad. I think next time I will try the spicy level. The vegetable samosas was wonderful. Combined with the sauce the samosas was very tasty.

Love the convenience of having wonderful Indian food in the area. The food is great, we have been customers since they opened, and often bring dinner home on the nights when nobody wants to cook.
