Persepolis East 74th Street, Manhattan, New York 10021

"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!"

"This restaurant is excellent. And the food OMG. We were celebrating my mother’s birthday. We ordered appetizers like baba, eggs plant, sambusa, falafel. . Our entrees, Basa, lamb shops, lamb shank, chicken jubilee, Cornish hen etc. Really nice decoration. Definitely we’re coming back. Our waitress was Christian he was excellen, help us the food and with our wine selection, desserts plus pictures"

"Don’t be fooled by the atmosphere and pictures. I am Persian. Food was an absolute no go. Only way it was worth it is if the price was divided by 8 ($5 instead of $40). Only thing that was done right was atmosphere and maybe the waiters? But I think they walked around too much and didn’t let us have private conversations. My advice for the owner to be more successful (because I want good Persian food restaurants to go to): make the food better (not lukewarm when it gets to the table, like it was microwaved, so cook it when ordered not in advance and maybe higher a real Persian to cook); let the waiters sit back and let the customers know to raise a hand when they need something; and if you cannot do those things, then divided the price of everything by about 7 or 8. The atmosphere and look of the restaurant was really fancy and nice, but what’s that matter if the reason I came was to eat. Hope this helps, because y’all are disgracing the name Persepolis."

"Came here on Thursday evening for late dinner with some work colleagues. We were seated immediately. Service was great and food was decent. The rice felt a bit stale but still complemented the chicken kebab. The interior is definitely give fine dining vibes."

"Had a work lunch here with some coworkers. We ordered family style. The food was yummy and fresh. Presentation was pretty. The bread and side sauces were delicious! Staff were kind and friendly. We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather and sun and it was perfect!"
