Persis Indian Grill

Excellent service, tasty food and a very casual vibe. Food:Eggplant Curry: 10/10, Amazing! That peanut sauce is what kings dream about.Lamb Biryani: 9/10, best biriani from a restaurant in town. It comes pretty darn close to a good homemade biriani. The presentation could be better.Garlic naan: 10/10.

Persis gets a solid 3 stars from me--it's a mixed bag, with some hits and misses.We went with a large group and ordered a variety of dishes. The samosas were a nice start--crispy and flavorful. The gobi Manchurian was easily the standout, with a perfect balance of spice and crunch. The malai kofta, however, was underwhelming--I was hoping for a bit more flavor. The tandoori leaned heavily on tomato flavor, which packed spice but didn't quite hit the mark for me. On the other hand, the goat chettinadu was fantastic--rich and bold with just the right kick. But do note, the goat dishes come with bones, which I don't mind, but it's something to be cautious about if that's not your thing.The mango lassi was more mango-forward than yogurt-forward, which some people may prefer, but it wasn't quite my ideal balance. Also, the portion of rice served with the curries felt skimpy, especially for sharing dishes.Service was attentive, but I might be biased since we were with someone who knew the staff. They did forget our order of chicken biryani but handled it graciously by agreeing not to make it since we were already full.The ambiance is clean but simple--not much in terms of decor. They do have a large screen showing Indian cultural holidays and ads for their food, which adds a nice cultural touch. The coolest part of the space is the LED-lit bubble water wall--it's unique and definitely catches the eye.Overall, it's a decent spot with some standout dishes (looking at you, gobi Manchurian and goat chettinadu) but also a few misses. A good option if you're nearby, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

Got takeout Indian, craving the taste from home after traveling for a few days and eating all other cuisines. The flavors are legit! Excellent spice flavors and masala, and all great portions. We got the karampodi chicken, mutton biryani, and chicken tikka masala. The karampodi was nice and flavorful, pretty spicy, and a little crispy. The mutton biryani had a great balance of masala, meat, and rice, and came with raita and chutney. The tikka masala was also a good balance of creamy and flavorful, not too over the top. It is a South Indian place - if you know your Indian places, you'll know that the garam masala flavors are punchy and very forward in their cuisine. This was no different. Thank you for keeping it authentic!

This felt like some amazing home cooking! I forgot to take pictures of everyone's food but we ordered takeout for the family! It's my grandpas favorite place for some goat. The flavors were beyond amazing! A true taste sensation. It's got a very nice vibe to it! I think it definitely stands out among all the restaurants along the road. I've been wanting to go back and dine in. Super filling. The service was amazing! Everyone was so nice and kind! I need to go back this is a top recommendation for indian cuisine. Truly kicking myself for not taking more pictures of our huge order. We had two bags worth !

Sooooo delicious! The service was amazing and they even gave us free mango lassis for our first time here! They were so creamy and delicious!! I got the butter chicken medium and it was the perfect spice level for me! So yummy! I also got garlic naan to accompany the butter chicken of course! We shared the gobi 65 and it was PHENOMENAL!! I don't usually like cauliflower, but it was so well seasoned and crispy! I will definitely order it next time I go back; it is a must try!! The inside of the restaurant was nice and very clean, but we did to go this time!

I was very impressed by large portion sizes of the curries here!Each dish was rich, aromatic, and bursting with traditional flavors, ensuring that we left full with plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. A highlight of our visit was the bone in chicken appetizer, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. It was served with the best cilantro chutney we've ever had--fresh, vibrant, and the perfect complement to the savory chicken.Overall, this quaint Indian restaurant exceeded our expectations with its generous portions, delicious flavors, and warm hospitality.

Today's first visit to Persis Biryani Indian Grill was a fantastic experience. I southern Indian cuisine is what I enjoyed for lunch. Surprisingly I became very full after eating only half of the generous portion of my Persis Special Chicken Biryani (Boneless) entree. I'll definitely enjoy the tasty leftovers at home. Dining area is spacious with very comfortable and contemporary designed furniture. Interior is very clean. Staff is amazingly friendly, courteous and professional. Shoutout to Bobby & Abi for helping make my first visit a wonderful one! To top of my dining experience were the energizing and great sounds of Indian music. Looking forward to my next visit here soon to try more of the delicious Indian cuisine!

I recently ordered takeout from Persis Indian Grill and was absolutely blown away by the experience! I had the Saag Paneer, Vegetable Samosas, and Butter Naan, while my boyfriend enjoyed the Butter Chicken, Vegetable Samosas, and Butter Naan. Every dish was packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat - they even let you customize the spice level of your main course. The food was piping hot when I picked it up and stayed warm even after my 20-minute drive home, which was impressive.Indian cuisine is one of my all-time favorites, and Persis Indian Grill has easily become one of the best spots in Jacksonville. The quality, taste, and attention to detail are unmatched. Highly recommend if you're craving some delicious, authentic Indian food!

Yea... I've got a new favorite Indian take-out joint. Karampodi chicken, chicken vindaloo and some cheese stuffed green chili naan! Persis Indian Grill is the jam. It's always a good sign when an ethnic restaurant is filled with clientele of said ethnicity. Had a small hiccup with an unavailable menu item and they happily swapped it out. Their spice scale ranges from medium to Indian spicy. I ordered it spicy. Flavorful, mouth watering, savory and just enough heat to keep you going back for more. I am beyond satisfied and the price to value is absolutely worth it for such great food. I will happily order again and can't wait to explore more of their menu! Support their franchise. It's seriously good.

Everything was amazing and so delicious! We ordered a huge amount for 2 but we wanted to try as much as we could! Friendly staff and we will definitely be back!
