Persis Indian Grill — Restaurant in Jacksonville

Extremely Disappointed – Would Give -5 Stars if Possible

I’ve visited this place a couple of times before. While the food was decent on my last visit, the service was incredibly slow. My kids were frustrated with the long wait and didn’t want to return — but I convinced them to give it one more try.

This time, we specifically asked for faster service when placing our order and were assured it would be quicker. Unfortunately, the same issue happened again: we waited over 40 minutes for our food, even after following up multiple times.

The appetizers came out hot and fresh, but the main course was cold — not lukewarm, cold, like it had just come out of the fridge. When I asked the staff to check the temperature, they first insisted it was warm, but eventually admitted it wasn’t.

What really upset me was watching another family, who arrived after us, get their food before we did. I brought this up and was met with silence — no explanation, just dismissal. And since I had already paid, it felt like they didn’t care anymore.

When I expressed how disappointing the experience was, the staff brushed it off with a casual, “we had too many orders.” That is not an acceptable excuse for such poor service, especially when we raised concerns before and during the meal.

I’m extremely dissatisfied and will not be returning. If I could give this place a -5 star...

Shoutout to our local community heroes! This venue has treated us to some amazing food! The service is welcoming, attentive, and personable. The music from the videos was lively and added to the dining experience. The menu is wonderful and has a lot to offer: Vegetables, meats, methods of cooking, level of spices, etc. The skill level of the food is on point. I can really taste the Love! We had a cauliflower fry for our appetizer and it was so satisfying. The texture, color, and flavor was a wonderful starter. Hubby had lamb pepper fry extra spicy… the texture was the perfect chew! The fry spices were masterfully balanced and the best type of spicy hot! I am not as skilled eating spicy so I stayed with the lamb vindaloo medium spicy. It was rich, savory, and comforting. I added a few pieces of the lamb fry to give me a few bites of the yummy textured spice. I also ordered some yogurt to make sure that I had total control of the heat. Paired with rice, naan, roti and refreshingly mango lassi… we had a harmonious meal! We ate until full and our Foodie sense satisfied!!! Our server was so very kind and attentive! A beautiful soul!!! I look forward to bringing our family here...

If you’re looking for an explosion of flavors and a delightful dining experience, I highly recommend this Indian restaurant!

We started our meal with the Samosas, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavorful potato filling. They made for an excellent appetizer and set the tone for what was to come.

For the main course, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Andhra Chicken Curry (spicy) and Chicken Chettinadu (spicy). Each dish was a masterpiece in its own right—the Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice. The Andhra Chicken Curry brought a bold, tangy flavor that really ignited our taste buds, while the Chicken Chettinadu was aromatic and wonderfully spiced, providing a lovely kick that left us craving more.

To complement these delicious mains, we also indulged in garlic naan. It was soft, fluffy, and generously infused with garlic, making it the perfect vehicle to scoop up all those amazing curries.

Overall, the service was attentive and friendly, making our meal even more enjoyable. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine or just looking to try something new, this place is definitely...
