I'm giving a three because the food is so good - but.... This restaurant is a dump. It hasn't been open maybe only 7 years, I think, but it that short time, the inside has deteriorated. When they first opened, it was so sleek and shiny - a long way from what it is today! We ate there last Sunday the 19th of April. There is duct tape EVERYWHERE trying to hold the once glossy, once white, once clean laminate in place. The booth we sat in (also cushion ripped and worn) had no less than 6 strips of duct tape holding it together. If you look around the dining room, it is on most of the joints, keeping them together. It is als VERY junky and cluttered. Went to the bathroom (another area that needs a lot of work) and there are rolling storage cabinets lining the hall making it very claustrophobic. On the way back to the table I looked behind the bar - a hodge podge of tools and caulk guns and whatever else I do not know piled in the floor. It was a mess. Corners and baseboards, chair legs and booth bases were just - dirty. Years of residue built up. Probably won't eat inside ever again, it is just so depressing, especially after knowing what it once was. We were there at prime lunch time after church and there were only three tables seated and a couple of to go customers. read more

Food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly. Very reasonably priced as well. I would definitely go back. read more

Ordered a late lunch and had it delivered via Uber Eats. I ordered spring rolls, Chicken Vindaloo (and complimentary rice), and garlic naan. Spring rolls, three mini rolls, had a mushy interior, so they probably came in frozen. The chili sauce that came with the rolls was actually very good. The Vindaloo had a beautiful savory sauce with a nice punch of spice. The chicken and potatoes in the sauce were delicious and the garlic naan went perfectly to transfer the sauce to my mouth! read more

My favorite Indian place in Mount Juliet. My go to is the goat Vindaloo and a mango lassi. Literally the best mango lassi in all of the land. Lol maybe not, but it's very good. The mango flavor really comes through. Service is always very consistently good. Plenty of parking in the strip. read more

I had ordered food to go and the taste was just amazing. I had ordered goat curry, dal, bhartha and bhindhi. We all loved the flavor and spices. Only thing was below average was baby corn. Would try dosa's. Keep it up read more

Most of what we ordered was good, although the lamb chops were WAY overdone and inedible. We ordered mild to low spice and it was still spicy! The portions were good-sized and the folks there were very nice. read more

The food was fantastic. Spices were authentic and spot on, the server was helpful when ordering and food arrived quickly. Highly recommend!

I've been to this location quite a few times over the years and it has a consistent quality of food and the service is usually good. It has a casual vibe and they play authentic Indian music, which had my wife and I bobbing our heads to the music. It has a moderate noise level and is moderately priced. They do have a full bar. They will ask you how you want your spice ( Heat ) level. We always get low level and its good. Ive gotten medium spice before and it made me sweat, so be warned it can get hot if you like it hot. read more

My word this place is so delicious! My son had the butter chicken and butter Naan (which is my usual go to). I wanted to try something new today and wasn't disappointed! Malai Methi Chicken was a delicious dish with chicken breast, fenugreek, spinach perhaps and tomato maybe?!? Don't know, don't care.... It may be my new favorite. I paired it with the garlic Naan, which was hot and good! read more

Hands down my favorite spot in Mount Juliet for fresh and tasty Indian food. The flavors are delightful, and I love their Lamb Curry and Goat Curry. The quality of the ingredients and the overall freshness of the dishes set this place apart. I've heard great things about their lunch buffet, and it's on my list to try soon--I can only imagine their delicious options. If you love Indian cuisine, Persis Biryani Indian Grill is a must-try. read more

So disappointed I have to add this update 1 star update. I've ordered takeout from this restaurant several times now, and have never had an issue, but this past Saturday I ordered 2 chicken tikka masala mild with a garlic naan bread. It was f until I got home and took a bite did I realize my food was SPICY. Also, the garlic naan had pepper flakes added, which made that spicy as well. I was annoyed, and called the restaurant to see if they could replace the order. I spoke to 4 different guys who couldn't speak English well before I finally was told that they would call me back. 2 hours go by with no call, so I call back and was told the manager wasn't there and i should call them AGAIN on Sunday. Now 5 days have gone by with no resolution. Needless to say, I will not be back. There's too many other great local businesses to support to have to deal with this frustrating situation again. read more

Still fantastic a yr later. We stopped here again on our way back home from Nashville. I was worried as I saw some more recent photos negative reviews(must be randoms) as amongst over a 100 Indian restaurants, this one stands out at the top. And they are truly fine Indian cuisine. I know their sow Yi's Briyani which we loved before but wanted something spicy so tried the Lamb Vindaloo which had so much umami depth and flavor. We asked for med hot and loved it--it was a bit hotter than a typical Tobasco hot sauce this time, as expected. Lamb was tender. Also got the classic Chicken Tikka Masala which was creamy and balanced the spiciness of the other dish. Got the garlic naan as they expertly make it there. Soooo good. Which it was closer as we would be here every week. And service was fantastic. Thanks for another great meal. read more

Overpriced and bland, ordered medium spice thinking out would be authentic, so didn't want to much heat. Should've ordered extra spicy. So many course chopped onions in the raita it was unedible! read more

I finally got to introduce my boyfriend to Indian food! This was just the place. It was busy the whole time we were there (weeknight), both at the tables and with people grabbing to-go orders. The Chai was hot (really hot-we both added ice from our water), but once it cooled down was very good. It was served light, so either they added some kind of creamer or used a powder mix, but it wasn't sweet so that was good. They brought out sugar with it to add your own sweetness. Veggie Samosas - we had to get these, and I'm glad we did! They were really good, had nice flavor, and the sauces were great, too. He tried the Butter Chicken - it was mild and he liked it though even mild he thought was right on the cusp of being spicy (we had different opinions on that - I thought it was definitely mild) but we both really liked it. It reminded me of an Indian vodka sauce, maybe? Very rich and really filling. I had the Navataran Koorma (Veggie curry) and that was lovely. Mine was medium heat and that's about where I'm good; it still has all the flavor and it takes a few minutes for my nose to realize what's happening haha Garlic Naan was amazing, and we got some butter naan to go. (FYI-It reheated well in our air fryer!) read more

Pretty good Tikka Massala, rice and garlic naan. I haven't tried any others in the area but will try because I still have a craving for all of the above. Will do a comparison when I do, but in the meantime solid choice!! read more

The food was amazing and l loved the green sauce, but I totally whiffed on my order. I thought I ordered the Paneer Butter Masala entree, but mistakenly ordered the paneer tikka appetizer. It was still very good, but my heart was set on some Indian comfort food, cheese cooked in a hearty creamy tomato sauce. Instead I got grilled cottage cheese and veggies which is more of a appetizer. The Samosas were huge and off the hook! One order comes with two, which is pretty pricey, but worth it. Dip these in the green sauce! I could literally drink that green sauce! I will be back and I will conquer my paneer butter masala plate! read more

We regularly return to Persis Biryani Indian Grill in Mt Juliet, both dine-in and more recently to-go. Food is consistently fresh. Friendly service. Simple, bright and modern décor. Clean facility. Hotness adjusted as requested, usually medium. We're transplants from NY and used to many choices. So we especially enjoy having Persis Biryani as a quality local Indian restaurant. We also travel on occasion to southern India. Personal favorites are Garlic Naan, Chicken Curry, Paneer Butter Masala, Gobi Manchurian, Basmati Rice, Mango lassi drinks, and my personal favorite--Lamb Vindaloo. Wish I could learn to make at home--simply delicious. Beer and wine license [Recent Update: Now Full Bar license]. Lunch and dinner daily, and closed mid-afternoon weekdays. Family owned and operated. In the Graves Crossings strip center across from McDonalds and Publix. Small gripes: * Portions are small, I guess to keep prices down * Pop-ups on website are annoying * Limited beer selection We'll return. read more

Lunch buffet here is always great! I recently visited Persis Biryani Indian Grill and tried their lunch buffet. I must say, the buffet offered a wide range of choices, and the food was authentically South Indian, with a delightful level of spiciness. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The only drawback was that the restaurant felt a bit small and cramped. However, if you're a fan of spicy food, I highly recommend visiting Persis Biryani Indian Grill for lunch and indulging in their flavorful offerings. read more

We tried the Persus Biryani Grill in Mt Juliet and were so happy we did! We have had Indian food before and are familiar with the different dishes. We ordered the Samosas for an appetizer, Butter Chicken, Lamb Biryani, and garlic naan. For a beverage we ordered Flying Horse beer. The beer arrived with chilled glass mugs and large bottles of beer . The beer was a light lager with great flavor. The samosas were delicious, accompanied by two sauces on the side, one was spicy and the other was sweet, everything was so good. Next came the main course. The butter chicken war tender, bathed in a sauce full of flavor. The lamb biryani was served on a large plate covered in rice. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. The garlic naan bread was so good we had to order more to go to eat at home with our leftovers. Overall we truly enjoyed the experience. We will return to try other dishes. read more

The food is off the chain!!! It was really good, we went later on in the evening, we didn't know if it would be open but it was and so glad !! It was kinda high in price but, we payed it we will definitely be back! One suggestion though, the Naan should be free kinda like Olive Garden, at least offer regular Naan and anything extra then charge anyways IT WAS GOOD!! read more

I save 5 star reviews for life changing meals, however this meal was high quality. I really enjoyed each dish. Service was good and it was a nice vibe! read more

For let me start off by saying I'm new to Indian food. I'm slowly trying it and seeing what I do and do not like. Well Persis is good. I have been twice and neither time was I disappointed. The food has great seasoning and because I'm not a spicy person they were even asked to cater to that. Highly recommend them! read more

We've gotten takeout from Persis a few times now and every time we have been blown away. Incredible vegetarian dishes - my new go-to's are definitely the chilli baby corn (IT IS UNREAL) and Bhindi Masala. My fiancé and I usually order a bunch of apps and entrees to eat over three days. I highly, I highly recommend doing this - some of the entrees somehow taste even better the next day. I can't wait to eat here in person one day. Such tasty food! read more

Service is excellent with crew being very knowledgeable . Food is clean, but lost a star to spices. Food could have more flavor

They brought back the chicken tikka! And it was everything G wanted it to be. I had the chicken biryani - awesome as always. Service was impeccable - the galic and the cheese naan were brought out piping hot. Ice tea was delicious - fresh brewed. While about $25 per person with tax and tip, my meal was enough for dinner and two lunches while G got dinner and a lunch out of hers, making this a great deal. Mount Juliet's best Indian restaurant proved to us why they are #1! read more

Very quiet and service is attentive. I highly recommend the Palak Paneer and the Vindaloo. My elderly mother ordered no spice, I ordered medium and my brother ordered Indian (or traditional) spice. All 3 were perfect. My brother said he hadn't had spice like that since he was stationed in Korea. We've been back multiple times since our first visit and have always had a pleasant experience. read more

Wickedly authentic Indian cuisine! I had my favorites in mind when I was there for the very first time earlier. Without looking at the menu, I mentioned them, and the server confirmed all, YES! Biryani was awesome with their homemade raita; my preferred spice level was on point. I sincerely wish them more success, and will be back soon for sure. Namaste! read more

This is a really good Indian alternative in Mt. Juliet TN. We frequent the place. Recently went there for the lunch buffet. It was good for the most part but they put cilantro in almost every dish and I'm one of those people that cilantro tastes like soap. read more

Food and service were excellent. Giving 3 stars because the music was loud and annoying. We couldn't wait to leave.

This is by far my favorite Indian food in Nashville. From the fresh spices in dishes like lamb curry to the spinach and cottage cheese in the saag. Everything is fresh and flavorful (garlic naan? Yes please). And they just added dosa which is kinda like a thin crepe that you tear pieces off and dip in a tomato base and cashew base sauces. I promise you Won't be disappointed. read more
