Heard that it is a great South Indian food spot that specializes in the Biryani sauces for their meals and went with the Lamb Biryani that comes with Basmati rice and it so delicious and just at mild spice level, the creaminess of the sauces just all blend well together. Also, the servings are huge, even though I was hungry, I won't be able to finish it as it will be lunch tomorrow at work. The service was excellent. The server was very nice to us. I was told that the Main Chef was there on Thursdays as well. Such a pleasant ambiance and to eat here. Will definitely be back to try other Biryani bites at the menu!
The food and service was perfection!!! Came here for a birthday dinner and our server Bobby was very attentive and made sure we had everything that we needed while also joking around with us and helping us feel welcomed. The food was so good great portions and a very reasonable price. There were four of us dinning and our bill was a little over $100 including drinks. Definitely come out and have some delicious food.
I don't know how I have missed reviewing this restaurant, because it was FABULOUS. So if I am late to the party, so be it. I won't make that mistake again. First, the location is on Baymeadows Road with large private parking lot in front. Second, everything was so clean, it put me at ease right away. The decor is tasteful, but not overdone but the food, at least what we ordered, was outstanding. What did we have? Well....... Butter Naan - flat, tasty, liked it. Tea - OK this was a miss for me, they only had bottle drinks which means no free refills. I don't know about you when I have dinner. I usually drink a lot, so this time I just drank a lot of water. Lamb Tikka Marsala - freaking amazing, depth of flavor and sweet finish. Lamb Korma - another really outstanding dish. Service was personable and pleasant, there was always they were of activity going on as Place were brought up in the kitchen placed on the table. I can't wait to go back .
Persis is known for their Biryani (it's on the sign!), so we ordered the Goat Dum Biryani. The meat felt and tasted like it was marinated for a month- so tender and flavorful. The presentation of the biryani was classic, with sliced red onion and a boiled egg on top. The portion was enough for a family of four if other entrees are also ordered. For the two of us, we had our fill there, and both had enough for lunch the next day. It was served with a raita and another curry-esque sauce with a slight peanut undertone. I used a little raita, but the biryani was so full of flavor it wasn't needed. We accompanied our biryani with Aloo Gobi - sauteed cauliflower and potatoes in a spicy cumin-centric sauce. Their version of this all-veg dish was saucier than I've encountered, which made it complementary to naan, which our server was thoughtful enough to ask about when we hadn't ordered any by default. We also enjoyed the Chili Chicken as an appetizer- this seemed to be a popular dish as 3 other tables could be overheard ordering it while we were there. I would compare it to a spicier version of a Chinese takeout chicken dish- but with an Indian flare, thinner batter, and more deliciousness. Spice customization is an option, and you can choose from Mild, Medium, Hot, or Extra hot. We went with Hot and it was perfectly spicy for those of us who can handle a little heat. I'm excited to go back and try every other kind of biryani!
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!
Very good. Definitely will be back for more. We got a medium spice but probably will go higher next time. We went with a big group so we were able to sample so many dishes. The lamb, saag planner and korma were all delicious. My husband thought the butter chicken was best he has had. The staff were great dealing with such a large party.
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!
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!
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 !
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.
I stopped into Persis for Lunch today to see how the Indian food selections in Jax is coming along. This is a family type spot with booths & tables, not a white tablecloth restaurant. The prices reflect casual, but they are in no means cheap. Portion sizes are not large, kinda small to average. I bought lunch to dine in & food to try at home. The flavors here are pretty spot on; almost home cooked Indian. I tried several different things to compare with food that I've eaten in my hometown NYC. I'm very critical about food being a New Yorker. They didn't take too long to prepare the food. I could tell it was all fresh. I loved the Mango Lassis; kinda small, so I had 2 (not cheap either). There was only 1 waiter on the floor since they had just opened for the day. It got busier for Lunch after 12. He was friendly & knowledgeable. I asked about some other Dessert selections like Carrot Halwa, & Mango kulfi, being that it is Ramadan season, I thought they would carry/make it. But...no; I was being too ambitious. However, the Rasmalai dessert & Gulab Jamon, were small & tasty. I've posted some pics of the dishes I tried. I'd say to anyone living in or visiting Jax to come over here with your family or a few friends & order up a few things so you too can feast like a "Moghul". Lunch was fantastic, so dinner (in the near future), will be phenomenal, I'm sure.
Hubby and I recently went to Persis Indian Grill for the first time. Our friend introduced us to this restaurant, and I am so glad. He ordered several dishes that we have never tried before and I was really pleasantly surprised: Karampodi chicken, Shrimp pepper fry, Guntur mirchi bajji, Nellore fish pulls, naan, & briyani. Our friend knew our typically go-to dishes are the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, tandoori etc... so he ordered all these dishes so we can try new things. And every dish was delicious. Especially the Guntur mirchi bajji (fried green chili topped with onion & cilantro). Very delicious and fresh with different textures. It's a dish I'd have never ordered. I would definitely go back again to try more dishes there. read more
The boys were back together so we of course had to have Indian Food but we wanted to check out a new spot and Persis Indian Grill was the pick. We come in around 8:15PM on a Sunday night so we had no issue getting a table. Once seated we started off with drinks. I normally go for a Kingfisher but they didn't have it. Was they did have was better. We got a Taj Mahal Lager and this bad boy comes in a large size which we were all impressed with. A full 22oz-24oz bottle gets us every time. For entrees they had a bunch of options and the prices were really good. We of course had to get some Naan and we went with Garlic and Chili Cheese. Their Garlic Naan was thinner then I was used too but still good. The Chili Cheese Naan was great and I will be getting this every time it is offered. I ended up getting by go to. The Lamb Korma spicy level hot. This again was a great price $19 or $20. Most Indian places have it $5 or $7 more for Lamb. This was a nice big serving and it was loaded with tender chunks of Lamb. I will say it was for sure a more mild spice for sure not hot and the Korma Curry was flavorful but not as much as I have had. I would for sure come back because prices are very good friendly staff and so many options. read more
The 'Biryani' dish is a staple South Indian treat: Basmati rice with so much spices and can be served with chicken, goat or lamb.It also comes with a boiled egg. When I did a business culture treat at Hyderabad India back in 2014, this was the food right outside the hotel and Persis Indian Grill takes me back to that delicious memory and we are blessed to have it here at Baymeadows as it is very consistent with flavor and the service is always great. The servings are very gracious that you most likely will take some to go. Oh, and just be sure to address the server about the spice level as a medium can be a bit too hot for some. At a mild spicy as a start would be ideal and you work your tolerance along the next visit, so that you can enjoy your meal :) read more

We went there for dinner tonight and ordered the chilly chicken spicy and it was fantastic as an appetizer. Each of us ordered various main diner dinners and they were all great too. Ordered the butter Naan bread and garlic which they both arrived hot and tasty. Service was spot on and our waitress was very attentive. read more

Absolutely loved the food here! The garlic naan was so fresh, the chicken tikka masala was so flavorful and a very generous portion, and my mom who was with me had the goat chettig.... something (can't remember the name) was excellent. Both the chicken and the goat were very tender, perfectly cooked. Our servers were an extremely helpful female (didn't catch her name) who was very patient with us as we deliberated on what to order. Bobby also served us and was so friendly and fun! I definitely recommend this place. If I lived in Jax, we'd come here weekly. read more
