I came in around 9 expecting to need to order out since they said last order was at 930 but they said it was fine for me to sit so the waitress gave me a seat at the booth. She was very kind. Food was okay, I'm not sure if it was missing something but it felt like there was less flavor in the tikka. The onion and bell peppers in the tikka are cooked prior to being put in the sauce which is what I prefer because I believe some restaurants just dump it in raw so that was a plus. I ordered the plain naan as well and it was good, not as fluffy as other places but it still hit the spot. The serving area itself was cute but the color scheme of the room felt off to me. Either way I think it's a nice spot to try out. read more

Persis Indian Grill & Bar - Chicken tikka masala no cilantro with plain naan - Indian Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

In the area for a business trip, tried this restaurant and it was OK. The service was OK. I didn't find the waitress to be patient or very friendly. I ordered the tandoori chicken and the garlic naan. The chicken was OK the garlic Dan was terrible. It was soaked in so much oil that it didn't even taste good. I have eaten garlic man in quite a few restaurants and I was surprised at what they served. I know it was later on a Sunday evening, but the quality was not good. Not a place I would go back to again. read more

Good food or service would not be my experience. Staff was slow and inattentive. They food was not worth the price. And product used did not seem fresh or of quality that would dictate the price. read more

The service was excellent and the menu felt endless--in the best way. So many options at really good prices. The naan and broccoli was incredibly fresh with lots of variety to choose from, which was a highlight for sure. Everything we tried was delicious. Would definitely come back. read more

So, it is the last day of January 2026. My wife and were running some errands and wanted something different for lunch. We have passed Persia many times. Always, we say "we have to try that place." On this day, there was some crazy construction in the area and we decided to reroute. We were very hungry and there it was. Persis Indian Bar & Grill. We pulled in to the parking lot. It was about 1:30 PM. They are open for lunch and dinner and they close for lunch at 2:30 PM. We had enough time! We walked in and were greeted and seated. There were a few other tables but it was mostly empty. We perused the menu and ordered our favorites which are mainstream Indian dishes. We ordered the Chicken Lollipop appetizer and two unsweetened iced teas. For the main dish, my wife ordered the Chicken Tiki Marsala and I ordered the Butter Chicken. We also ordered the Butter Naan. We ordered everything "mild". We both like spicy, but our experience is "Asian" spicy is not for feint of heart. Since this was our first time here, we went mild on everything . I am glad we did. The Chicken Lollipop dish came out and its Tangy and Sweet combo was perfect! Definitely recommend. I went through a couple of glasses of tea but so worth it! While we waited for our main dishes, I noticed the decor. It was nice. I also noted the number of customers coming in for "To Go" orders. That inspired confidence. The food came. The Butter Chicken was creamy and flavorful. The Chick Tiki Marsala was also some of the best. The rice was cooked just right. The Naan was also the perfect accent. The meal was amazing. We left with full bellies and a promise to come back (even for To Go). The service was spot on (although it was not crowded). I recommend this if you are in Corpus Christi. Cheers! read more

Good for Corpus. It's great when we are craving Indian food, and unfortunately there aren't many options in the area... My only complaint is the lack thereof meat in the biryani... every time we order this, which is most of the time since it's my husband's favorite, I kid you not there is only 4-5 small little chunks of meat. For the price that we pay, I don't want to have less than 10% of it meat then the majority is all rice. A bit unfair in my opinion. My favorite is the Chicken Korma, the flavors are good. We always get the Vegetable Samosas and these are a staple, they're perfect almost every single time we order them. We only tried the Vindaloo one time, but I remember it being good. If Mango Lassi is on the menu, then there is a chance we are ordering it. read more

My husband and I wanted to try a closer Indian restaurant and it was definitely disappointing... when we got there we waited for 5 minutes just to be seated (there was maybe 5 tables occupied). It wasn't til 15 minutes later that our waitress took our order... she acted like we were a bother. We waited for 25 more minutes and never got our waters we ordered:.. we just walked out... Do yourself a favor and don't bother driving there... we decided to just go eat somewhere else read more

The only good thing was the cheese naan bread. Service: for my wife and I, we ordered chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, and naan bread. That's all. Took over 45 minutes to get the food. Ive had this exact dish at three different Indian restaurants in the past 2 weeks and by far this was the worst. When the food did come, food was lukewarm, and the chicken was tough as if it was old and reheated. The rice was exceptionally dry, and they buried the chicken way at the bottom of the rice bowl. When I asked about the wait after it had been 40 minutes, I was told they were working on it. No explanation or curiosity about what we thought of their food. The worst Indian dining experience I've ever had. The vibe of the place was decent. My wife and I thought the mural was gorgeous. Friends had warned us against coming to this place because "there is no good Indian food in Corpus" but we saw the high Yelp reviews and were in the mood for some Indian food. We should have listened to our friends. If you're coming to this place because you are craving Indian, make sure your expectations are really low and that you have at least 60-90 minutes for a party of 2, closer to 2 hours for 4+. read more

The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Food was pretty flavorful - fried papad appetizer, navrantna [veg] korma, butter chicken masala, lamb Rogan Josh, plain naan, & mango lassi. We had all our food spiced "medium" because the young lady said "it's really hot ma'am" when I was going to order the lamb vindaloo. I guess I should have explained my creole roots to this young lady & that food isn't seasoned unless it clears your sinuses. Hence, the only thing that was a little spicy was the Rogan Josh which saved the meal because the other entrees were too mild. But, again it was tasty. As for the service, it was odd... The servers were courteous but not really friendly. The two young ladies waiting tables did not seem to be communicating with each other. A young man brought out food to the table- he was pleasant, smiled, cordial. But the young ladies: The first took our initial order; then the second came to check on us and brought out our lassi, brought the to-go boxes, & processed our payment. She then moved over to the table to our left to close out their bill. Next, the first came over and asked for our payment again. We said "we paid her" (indicating the young lady next to her) & showed her the receipt for payment. Still, she proceeds to put the payment machine on our table to ask for payment again. We showed her the receipt again & explained again that we'd already paid. She read the receipt & asked if something was wrong, then searched her machine & said "oh, yes I see it. You're right... you already paid. Sorry sorry. So sorry." No duh!!!!! And the whole while the young lady who took our payment is standing within ear shot, directly to her right at the other table, not saying a word.That was a strange experience. Overall, I can recommend the food. Just make sure you get the spice level to your liking. Yet, I haven't decided if I want to spend money there again because the service was uncomfortable. read more

This is one of Corpus Christi's only Indian Resturaunt and let me tell you it is AMAZING!!! We of course were a little skeptical, but decided to give it a try. The business is easy to find since it's behind the Ross shopping center and parking is vast. Once you enter, the ambiance is nice and has a great India atmosphere, from the various colors to the resturaunt layout and art. We were quickly greeted and seated and helped with the menu. I ordered the Samosa for the appetizer, and for the main course Kadai Chicken with Garlic Naan, and my girlfriend ordered Lamb Tikka Masala with Plain Roti. Everything was phenomenal and the food had so much flavor and spice! We devoured everything! Once done, we asked if they offered Military Discount. The waitress went to ask and the manager came to the table and gave us a 10% discount and thanked us for our service! He was so kind and we stated how great the food was! He stated "Well then I guess I'll be seeing you more". YES! YES YOU WILL!!! So if you're looking for an amazing Indian food resturaunt in the lovely city of Corpus, look no further! This is it!!! read more

Corpus has a world class Indian restaurant. Persis brought their "A" game when they served us the best Chicken Tikka Masala we've ever had. The spice level was medium just like I asked for, the chickeen was moist and tender, lot of places the chicken comes out dry. My wife got a bowl of chicken lentil soup that was very tasty. We shared a couple amazing samosas. We also shared a rice kheer dessert....yum.....by shared I mean she took 2 spoonfuls. I ordered a plain naan, also very good. We're trying to low carb it and she's doing a better job of it. We'll be back for more of these goodies. read more

The food was not of authentic taste. We tried the restaurant for the first time. The fish was very fatty and the curry didn't taste as described in the menu. Sometimes it's better to have a smaller menu of dishes that can be made well, rather than a huge menu. Service was ok. Ambiance is good. Won't be going back in a hurry. read more

I was apprehensive about trying Indian food in Corpus and I was pleasantly surprised! I've been here several times and it never disappoints.

Food was great as always. However had a glove or piece of rubber in our food. They took it away and didn't take it off the bill. They told us it was a piece of fat. We cook lamb regularly and it was rubber. Things happen but whoever the manager or chef was that sent the waitress with that flimsy excuse should be ashamed. read more

This is a new restaurant as of this year! Came here for restaurant week with a group of friends and got the restaurant week special (4 course meal for $30). It was so delicious and some of the best authentic indian food I've ever had! I got the samosa, butter chicken masala, garlic naan, and gulab jamun. The portions were good sized- we all took leftovers home! I don't love spicy food and asked for low spice on my dish and it was perfect- but you can ask for more spice if you want. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. If you're craving Indian food, go here!! read more

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service. Prices are on par as well. Highly recommend trying this place - it's my new Indian food "Go-To" in the Augusta/Aiken area. (Save room for the ice cream dessert!!) Saturday just after opening allowed for quick service, quiet atmosphere, and very fresh, expertly and artful prepared food. Butter chicken was divine and a healthy portion. Aloo mutter perfectly spiced, and not mushy. Recommend. read more

We waited for 15 minutes after being seated and had not been acknowledged at all. No water or anything. The restaurant was not even packed.

I was so glad to hear of a new Indian place in Corpus Christi so we tried it shortly after they opened. Pro's: Samosas were fresh and the sauces were great. The employees were friendly. My husband asked if he could get the mango curry with lamb and the chef agreed to make a special order for him, which was very nice. Cons: I ordered a MILD Tikka Masala and I could barely eat it. My nose was running and my ears were on fire. I understand Indian food can be spicy, but when they let you chose your spicy level, I expect mild to be mild. I have had many tikka masala's from different restaurants and I have never had one so spicy. I'm not sure if the waiter and I had a miscommunication or that's just how it comes. Secondly, they charged us for another person's ticket, which was near $90 and ours was $50. They gave us back the difference in cash, which was fine, but it's something to beware of: make sure you ask the total before they take your card, because they have handheld machines to process your payment. Another con is that we had to practically beg to get waters refilled. Overall: I had really high hopes and I'm glad there's another Indian restaurant in town, but I am afraid to return due to the sheer level of spice they use in their food. I love Indian food, but not if it's inedible. f you like spicy - you'll love it here! read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time and honestly was not impressed. Walking into this place the restaurant is well decorated but the service is not very attentive at all. We ordered chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, samosa and 2 waters. Are food took over an hour!!! Are server not a manager came by to tell us about the wait or if the kitchen was backed up ( wasn't busy when we ordered). Our meal came out but not with the naan that took another 15 min. On top of this the food was not really tasteful, it was very bland and has a very strong tomato flavor. Not very authentic. read more

One word... amazing. The staff is very professional. The portions are perfect. And the food... perfectly authentic! You cannot find a bad dish on the menu. I suggest the lamb boti masala, mild still has a very satisfying spice to it. The garlic nann bread is essential. read more

Lovely atmosphere, great service, and phenomenal food. I have ordered several things from the menu and have yet to be disappointed. My favorites are the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Palak Chicken. One thing I have to recommend to anyone who visits- order the garlic naan! It is fresh every single time and extremely mouthwatering. The perfect side to any curry dish. My most recent visit was extremely pleasant. My server Vyshu was patient and quick to meet our needs. One more thing: the restaurant is always spotless and exceptionally clean. It really adds to the ambiance of the whole restaurant, which is beautifully decorated with parasols and warm lighting. I highly recommend for date nights and birthday dinners! read more

I love Indian food and was excited to try Persis. I ordered butter chicken marsala, garlic naan and ice water for lunch. Food seemed of good quality, but the flavors were unfortunately "just ok." The sauce was spiced and seasoned well but overly tomatoey. Very red. Garlic naan had very little garlic flavor. I'll give it another try and order something different. My lunch bill was $30 with tax and tip, so Persis won't be in my weekly rotation. read more

Finally got the opportunity to try this place out. My initial thoughts on the food is just, okay. The Chicken tikka masala and butter chicken just didn't hit the spot. I felt like it was lacking flavor and spice. To me it was just plain tomato soup with dry chicken. 6/10 for me. read more

This place was such a great surprise for me and my family!! We didn't know there was an Indian place in CC with such good food! Everything was amazing and shareable.

The service was very slow for a midweek day. Half full restaurant and took forever for anyone to come by and say hello or get our drink order. The food was pretty tasty once we got it. I had the Andhra Lamb Curry. I asked for hot and got mild to med spice level and less meat than what the pictures show. Take a look at these pics and then others. The Bullet Naan was excellent. The Gulab Jamun was not as good as expected. Wouldn't get it again. Will definitely be back the next time in town because the other reviews were pretty good and I think this might have been an off night. read more
