Persepolis

Persepolis was overall a great experience, I came here looking for a really good beef kubideh and that’s exactly what I got. The rice was actually amazing as well, and they gave several authentic Persian rice selections (I ordered the polo zereshk and I couldn’t be more happy with it). However, the lentil soup was lacking in flavor and the dessert (saffron rice pudding) was a bit of a miss. To me, that didn’t matter as much because they really did a great job with the main dish. All in all, I’m happy with the experience and will likely be back

Wonderful service and delicious vegan options 🤗 loved the bright and crisp shirazi salad and the hearty vegetarian stew with eggplant. The restaurant has a peaceful atmosphere - good seating options for large groups and individuals

Persepolis is fantastic. We had never been, but it was on my list to try — and we definitely should have gone sooner! From the warm greeting at the door, to the impeccable and friendly service throughout, to the delicious dishes — a 10/10 experience! We started with white sangrias & two apps — the yogurt & shallots (with delicious warm bread) and the stuffed dumplings with mint sauce. My mom had the lentil soup (mouthwateringly good!). For our mains — I had the saffron chicken which was so juicy and tender and rice with barberries on the side. My husband and mom both had lamb dishes with the fava bean rice which was so yummy! We rounded out with dessert — baklava, cotton candy, rice pudding & they treated us to a complimentary saffron Icecream scoop each. The cotton candy was INSANELY delicious and totally unexpected. If you have to pick one dish, pick that one! Comes with 4 pieces. The baklava was sweet, sticky & flavorful. The rice pudding was the 3rd on our list, it was OK — very different from rice puddings we had before, a bit more watery but still good flavor (personally I don’t love rice pudding, so that’s also a factor!)

We have walked by Persepolis many times but tonight we decided to dine there. Their restaurant is lovely and while there were many guests, the room felt quiet, which in a New York City restaurant is a unique experience. The service was impeccable and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with an appetizer of Babaganoush. To my surprise it was served warm with walnuts and it was very different yet absolutely delightful. The appetizer was served with warm homemade bread. We split two dishes, their chicken stew and their salmon kabobs. Each dish was served with delicious rice. Our meal was exquisite and While we would have loved to have dessert, we were too full. However before giving us our bill they served us a very delicious pistachio dessert that literally melted in our mouths!

Nice clean place. Fair prices. Delicious food. A must-visit to try Persian food in NY. The service was quick and the employees were friendly! Great Job👌
