Ravagh Persian Grill: Authentic Persian Delights in the Heart of NYC

Went there for lunch whilst visiting New York. As I walked in to the restaurant at around 1:20PM on a Wednesday, the restaurant was bit busy. I was standing by the entrance for 5 mins until someone saw me and then I was seated. Menu was given straight away. I made my decision within 2 mins on what I'm going to order but it took over 10mins for me to grab someone to take the order. This was order for 1 person only. It took 45mins for the food to arrive. Customer can be better if they are more attentive and speak nicely. Food was nice and fresh. One other thing I don't understand is why waiters get a bit iffy if I decide not to leave a tip. Sorry your service wasn't good. I had to call you so many times to take my order, then ETA on when the food is coming and then had to chase again for the bill several times. You guys are lucky I'm a nice person and don't like any arguments so left 20% tip.

Ravagh is our go-to restaurant in the NYC/NJ area whenever we’re craving really good Persian food. We always start with the kashk bademjan — the meal never feels complete without it. Some of my favorite dishes are the chicken koobideh kebab with zereshk polo, and my all-time favorite is the khoresh gheymeh. It’s incredibly flavorful, and I love that they add those little fresh potato sticks on top (some places skip them, which makes me sad!). The fesenjan is also amazing. The only reason why I didn’t give it a perfect score is because my chicken was overdone and dry once, but they’ve made up for it the next time I visited Don’t forget to try the Persian martini — sooo good! The service is always fast and friendly, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. I love this place and have been coming here for years. Definitely try out ravagh if you’re in a mood for some good Persian food

I had such a wonderful experience at Ravagh Persian Grill in Manhattan. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. The service was outstanding, and the hospitality from the manager, Moises Marin, made the evening even more special. He was warm, attentive, and truly went above and beyond. One of the best Persian meals and overall dining experiences I’ve had in NYC. Highly recommend!
