Persis Biryani Indian Grill — Restaurant in Moultrie

TL:DR All of the food is homemade, and made from scratch, delicious and tender meats and vegetable dishes, rice dishes are full of flavor, desserts are sweet and unique, very good portion sizes, the owner is super friendly and helpful and he works hard. You can get the lowest spice level and you will be able to enjoy all the flavors without worrying about food being too spicy. I recommend the mango lassi drink, apricot delight dessert and Gulab dessert, tandoor lamb and shrimp, lamb chops masala, egg fried rice and jeera Walnut rice, and mushroom pepper fry.

Detailed Review: We went yesterday to celebrate and we had a big order because we wanted to try several dishes. We planned to get there 45 minutes before closing, so I called ahead of time to make a reservation and I was also able to place my order over the phone, about 45 minutes before arriving to the restaurant so we would not be there past closing. The owner helped me place the order because we are unfamiliar with Indian food. He was extremely kind, patient, and helpful!

When we came to the restaurant, we were seated very quickly within five minutes and most of the food came out within five minutes also.

We got the lamb because we love Mediterranean food and we asked everything to be very little spicy level. The lamb was just as delicious as the Mediterranean food we are used to, but the Indian spices brought a new experience! It was not too spicy, but still very delicious! We were able to taste and enjoy all the flavors. We had water and Coke and the drinks were all bottled instead of fountain drinks for convenience. We also tried an Indian drink: The mango lassi. It is almost like a mango milkshake, and it was very sweet and had natural mango flavor.

All the food is homemade, and made from scratch. The portions sizes are good too! We had tandoor lamb kebab, tandoor shrimp, lamb chops masala, mushroom pepper fry, Chinese egg fried rice, jeera rice with cashews and I asked for no chili sauce, tamarind sauce on the side, mint sauce on the side, apricot delight dessert, and gulab dessert. All of the flavors and sauces were rich and delicious! The lamb and shrimp were tender and juicy. Both types of rice were full of flavor even though we asked for them to be non-spicy. The jeera rice with cashews had a lot of herbs and spices, and it was so flavorful even without the chili sauce. The mushroom pepper fry is the best! It’s a great vegetable side to go with your meat options. You can also eat it alone if you’re vegetarian. The spices in the mushrooms make them juicy and flavorful.

The apricot delight dessert is like a slice of cake with apricots and milk. Reminds me of a Tres leches cake Indian style. The gulab dessert are like three fried dough balls with aromatic spices in a rosewater sweet syrup. Think of fried donut holes, but with Indian flavors! The food was so good we forgot to take pictures, and I could just go on and on about how delicious everything was! Even if you can’t tolerate spicy food, ask for the baby spice level and you will not be overwhelmed!

Please consider that this is a brand new restaurant so please be patient as they learn how to flow with orders and customers, and are eventually able to hire more staff. The food is so delicious, it’s worth trying and the owner is so kind and friendly and he really works hard. You will not be...

After a long day of softball and sunburns, we stumbled into Persis Biryani Grill looking to try the new restaurant in town… and walked out having had a culinary revelation. From the moment we sat down, it felt less like a restaurant and more like being invited to a family feast. The food? Absolutely mind-blowing. I’m talking flavor explosions that had me seriously questioning why we waited to come! We sampled everything from biryani to curries, and it didn’t matter what hit the table—everything was a home run (pun fully intended). Let me tell you about the owner, The man cares. You can taste the passion in every bite. He checked on us multiple times—not in that weird way some managers hover—but like a proud artist watching people experience his masterpiece for the first time. The service made us feel like VIPs, even though we probably still had dirt on our shoes from the ballfield.

Bottom line: if you’re in Moultrie and you don’t eat at Persis Bryani Grill, I don’t know what you’re doing. Cancel your dinner plans. Call your friends. Tell your grandma. Just go. I’ll be back next week. Probably with a bib. Possibly in stretchy pants. And...

I cussed so many times eating this meal. I have interrupted my annual screening of The Vampire Diaries at least a dozen times with my profane exclamations. This experience demanded celebration. The butter chicken is a fiesty burst of flavor, with the PERFECTLY heated 'mild' for my tender taste buds. The chicken was chunked to the ideal bite sized pieces, that were mouth wateringly moist. I opted for the cheese kulcha, and it was everything I ever wanted in a cheese bread that I'd been unsuccessful at finding in all my 30 years. The Garlic naan is pillowy, and the chicken tiki masala that I would've stolen from my fiance had he not offered it for sample, was another jam packed bus ride to flavor town. I am actually harboring a little resentment for myself, for not having tried this sooner. There's very few things on this earth that can move me to the depth of writing an online review of this capacity, but I simply could not let another moment pass without this very serious press release. As far as the environment, it gets 5 stars based on smells, I could smell the inside, from the outside, and I find that important. (I...
