Came here with friends after work and maybe the day we went was an off day. To give some positive note, the ambiance of this place is superb. It's a small sized restaurants with lots of color - a bit of a vintage feel. Service was not the best. Our server seemed really tired with their day - completely understandable. I was handed menus and other utensils by my server as if I were supposed to be serving my own table - which I thought was weird, but dismissed it cause the food looked good on Yelp. It seems as if no one in my group particularly enjoyed their food. My steak, which I asked for medium-rare, was a bit too rare - not a big deal. However, the sauce it came with had the weirdest consistency - something like the snot you would have when you're sick in bed. It was a little flavorless with a hint of wine. The truffle fries redeemed the place a little bit, but the fries seem chopped up for some reason - something to consider if you like your fries longer. read more

Bijan's - Hanger Steak Frites - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not a great dinning experience if you are familiar with Persian food. The Kebabs were oven baked or, at least looked and tasted like oven backed - lemony - on beet? Shiraz salad consisted of cucumbers and tomatoes that looked like had been sitting around a while - no onions or mint - lots of lime juice. Call it what it is but don't pretend or present it as Persian food cause what you are serving is a disgrace to what a Medicare Persian food could be. Not a good culinary experience . One star at best. read more

it was simple, tasty, and fairly priced. I had the chicken kebab plate with rice. No complaints, friendly service.

Yummy food and cute ambiance. Came for brunch and the options are great. I had steak and eggs and hubby had the eggs Benedict. Brunch comes with fresh tea or coffee and a cocktail. I had fresh mint tea and Bijan Bee (prosecco and peach nectar). FYI - Brunch is cash only so be prepared but they have an ATM on the premise. read more

We had a late Thursday morning marriage ceremony at Brooklyn Borough Hall and stumbled on Bijan's when looking for a place that would be open for celebratory drinks. Great daytime low-key vibe. Friendly guy hosting and manning the bar. Comfy natural wood/brick/abundant hanging plants environs. Tons of natural light was a bonus. From the cocktail menu, we're now big fans of the Flower Bomb, Lavender Bijan and the Gimme More (a 3X winner for Spouse A). For bites, the koshkhobaden and crack soup were table faves (Thanks Chef Julian!). read more

Bathroom is a 10/10 in cleanliness, weird radio though. But clean. And good food. Get the burger with fries, any burger, real good.

Perfectly grilled salmon and tasty kabobs! Well crafted and interesting cocktails served by a friendly, attentive staff in a relaxed environment! read more

The food is excellent and the Ambiance- exceptional. But, best of all - the service. Our waiter/ bartender - Alex, was affable , helpful and right on the spot in every way. His bartending skills were definitely better than you would find elsewhere. He understood our dining needs and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this restaurant - food, price and service. Gail R. read more

I loved the beet salad with feta. So flavorful. My friend got the chicken salad sandwich and liked it. Interesting people watching. We sat outside on a beautiful Saturday evening. Service was a little slow once we got our food but that's a very minor issue. read more

Bijan's has a really cute space and is great for catching up with girl friends. The food is not bad but I would just say that I can't really see what is Persian about it The menu appeared to be pretty American to me and the burger tasted like what I expected as well, lol! read more

The worst koobideh I've ever had in my LIFE. It is just dry ground beef with salt. It is also not even cooked all the way, red in the middle. Disgrace to call this place "Persian" food.... Run away from this place if you're looking for Persian food. Never ever ever again. read more

Got there 1 hr before closing on a Monday night, the decor is nice and it's a small and cute place. Unfortunately , my salmon sandwich was nothing to call home about. I did enjoy my sweet potatoes fries though. read more

After a long travel day with a delayed flight we arrived tired and hungry and a bit messy but we were greeted warmly and seated immediately by the team at this cute place just down the street. We shared three dishes and enjoyed them all: yogurt and herbs with pita (refreshing cool dip with warm pita) the chopped salad (perfectly chopped and dressed) and Persian chicken salad sandwich with fries (sooooo good!). When I accidentally ordered a 2nd glass of wine from 2 different servers they let me have the extra on the house. Classy! Highly recommend this lovely spot. We will return :) read more

The worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We ended up waiting an hour an a half for just appetizers and then the waiter forgot to put in our original order. We ended up leaving and I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE. Completely ruined what was supposed to be a special night. The people next to us also were pissed AND on top of that the people behind us were so fed up they left too. DISGRACE of an establishment. read more

We went to enjoy some Persian food. I was excited to try a new spot. But What we got was a mediocre brunch with no Persian dishes on the menu. My Bf and I ordered the Bijan burger and a cocktail. For the price both items came to $27 each which isnt bad. Their dinner menu didn't start until 5 pm so we couldn't try their Persian food. 2 items were actually Persian and the rest were all american food. Furniture was outdated and was cash only. Service was ok nothing special. read more

Bijan's was top notch and excellent service. The ambiance sets the perfect mood, complemented by friendly staff definitely a morable meal. Each dish, from beef stew to aromatic rice, with authentic flavors and high-quality drinks read more

$7 for Watered down iced tea... Truffle fries don't taste truffle. Unimpressed with everything. read more

- Service is poor! - Food is good (but served coldish-Maybe servers did not pick it from the kitchen on time that goes back to the service dissatisfactions mentioned earlier.)! - Ambiance is very good! read more

One of my favorite places in the neighborhood to stop by for a drink and consistently amazing food. A really cool spot for a date night or meeting up with friends. read more

After landing from a flight was looking to grab a quick bite. Bijan's got great reviews so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the beef Kabob plate, I was so disappointed to see my food was burnt when I opened the box. I tried the meat and it was incredibly dry with no flavor and tasted burnt just as the way it looked. Shirazi salad usually has onions in it and other spices and this one only had tomatoes and cucumbers. After a second bite of the meat, I saw a hair coming out of my kabob! I felt so sick and was so disappointed with the quality of the food and obviously did not take another bite. I tried to call and let them know and none of the phone numbers for them work. For $29 I couldn't believe the quality. I won't be coming back. read more

I love it here. Lamb burgers are my go-to and they never disappoint. I sat at the bar and chatted it up with the bartender who couldn't have been cooler. It's a beautiful space...especially when the fireplace is going, read more

FWIW, I live right around the corner from here. I will say the most important thing to me anywhere I go is the people. Trent, Alexander, Bijan, Xia and of course Jahan himself (who skunked me on a chess board!) are wonderful people. The food here is fantastic and I highly recommend the pistachio encrusted salmon but the most important thing as always is the people. God love the people here. read more

Lovely spot for an afternoon bev. Alexander at the bar was just great to banter with.

This place is a cute spot in Brooklyn. We thought it had happy hour but their site wasn't updated :( nevertheless we ordered wine and the pours were awesome for the price! We ordered the Pear, Goat cheese flatbread, the wings and the beet salad. All super good! The salad only came with one goat cheese fritter though so maybe skip that one and get the others haha Cc: @citycroissantt read more

Bijan's - Goat cheese beet salad - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very average brunch. My boyfriend and I stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was empty. I think that should have been a sign because most brunch spots are poppin' from 11am-2pm. Well it was not at Bijan's. The music was also super loud for a 12:30pm brunch. They were playing club music and finally lowered it when a family came in because they had a baby. The decor was very hippy/save the planet feel. They had communal tables and a lot of plants. I gave 2 stars mostly for the server. She was very kind and attentive. Now for the food: - I ordered the breakfast pizza and asked for the eggs to be over easy. I thought everyone knew you don't cook the yolk for over easy eggs! The chef there did not because my eggs were well done and it was not nice on the breakfast pizza. I was hoping there would be some egg porn action and it would be all creamy and delicious with my pizza but no, it was way overcooked and not what I envisioned at all. -My boyfriend being his basic self ordered the eggs with sausage and it came with potatoes and toast. When the food came the kitchen messed up and gave him really overcooked bacon. I mean we all like crispy bacon, but not like disintegrating bacon...The server was kind enough to just add the sausage on the side. His scramble eggs did not look appetizing either. Sigh it was such a disappointing meal. I mean at least we didn't have to wait long for food. Maybe dinner is better? However, the brunch really made me not want to go back to try other things. read more

We recently had lunch at Bijan's over the 4th of July holiday weekend. The atmosphere, food and service was exemplary! What I think makes Bijan's innovative among it's competitors is intention used to fuse Persian and American flavors on a menu that is healthy and satiating. Everything is made from scratch using the freshest ingredients and irresistibly plated. Bijan's staff is a family affair. You feel people care about all aspects of food and service here because their name is on the sign. Recipes on the menu are from the owners family. The tiramisu is homemade by his wife and should NOT be missed! The homemade cocktails are as inspired as the food! I ended my meal with Persian mint tea steeped in house, a perfect ending. We enjoyed our meal so much we brought friends back the next day! So if you find yourself in Brooklyn, make it a point to visit and enjoy the hospitality, ambiance and cuisine! read more

The food was so good, they decent beer on tap, and a cozy restaurant with a fireplace. The service was excellent b

Small-ish restaurant kinda in the middle of nowhere. It's supposed to be Persian, but the menu seemed a hybrid. Food was decent, server was very laid-back (our party commented that he didn't exactly sell the desserts very well). Would come back. read more

1 star. Gave one extra bc the manager saved the day-ish. Maybe we were there on an off day? I think it all came down to poor service and mediocre food. We sat down and it took a while for us to get menus. ok. not a big deal. The waiter took our order but never brought us water. He was filling the water on the other tables multiple times. Was it because we ordered drinks? OK. that's not a big deal either. Then the waiting began. The drinks came about 15 min later. Then, after what felt like forever, ONE of 2 of the appetizers came out. We flagged down the waiter to have him check on the order. He said it was coming out soon. It never came. Then, ONE HOUR later, we flagged down the waiter again, and he said the entrees would be out soon. Note, we've been at the restaurant for almost 2 hours at this point and only got drinks and 1 appetizer. During our wait, I noticed TWO tables just walk away because they weren't being serviced. Suddenly, another waiter (probably the manager) noticed something was wrong. He came out and asked us how we were doing and we alerted him about the long wait time. Suddenly, everything was operating like a normal restaurant again. The food came out within the next 10 minutes. We told him one of the appetizers never came so he rushed it out on the house. Now, on to the food. I didn't try the calamari but the persian spiced wings were decent and the drinks were good. They have some inventive cocktails and the flavors are tasty. But on to the entrees - I had asked the waiter if he recommended the persian kabobs or the salmon and he suggested the kabobs, which were honestly terrible. The meat had an odd crumbly texture and the beef tasted a bit.. old? I also tried the pappardelle which had no flavor and dry chicken. It was also COLD. we live in the neighborhood and always walk by the place so we were really excited to try it but alas it was a disappointment. read more

Great food and the atmosphere is really cozy! Great neighborhood spot to grab a weeknight dinner and drinks

Ever since Bijan's opened up six years ago, happy days are here again. Literally: one time I walked in and Happy Days was playing on the TV. Fonzie aside, I'm STILL so happy Bijan's is here. It's no longer the new bar on the block, but the seasoned vet that's got regulars, understands our quirks, and gives the neighborhood what it needs. The vibe is intimate, but casual. The music is always good, which makes it the perfect place to kick off your night with a quiet drink, especially since happy hour is very solid. Best of all, the kitchen is open (and has been, these past 5.5 years), and the food is solid across the board. Brunch is a solid deal (cocktail, food, coffee, juice, all for $17), and the dinner menu has enough variety that everyone can find something to eat. They've got burgers and flatbreads and mezze (they lean a little Middle Eastern), but in my opinion, you can't go wrong with chicken. The Persian-spiced wings are done right, and the rosemary, lime, sumac chicken is a staple of my diet. Both sound more exotic than they are; the latter is just a perfectly roasted airline breast over haricot verts and truffle mashed potatoes, with a lovely pan sauce to tie it all together. It's a full, balanced, excellent meal for under $20. Enjoy it by the fireplace in winter, and with the doors open in the summer. It can get a little packed during happy hours or weekend nights in the small space, but the service is always friendly and the drinks are always good. The menu no longer lists the therapeutic benefits of the cocktail ingredients pumpkin, mint, chili pepper, etc., but I still feel good about having five of them in a sitting. If I was in danger of spending entirely too much time here before they started serving food 5.5 years ago, there's definitely no hope for me now. read more

Came here for dinner and drinks after seeing some rave reviews on Yelp. The menu looks great and has a great variety on it. We tried the lamb burger which I had with truffle fries. The burger was dry and crumbling and the fries were very oily, was not able to finish either. Had tiramisu after which was very good. Service was great and so were the drinks. read more

Bijan's - Lamb burger with truffle fries - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cozy bar great vibes. highly recommend. bartender is very friendly. Also in a great location. menu has plenty of choices.

Three and a half stars. Bijan's worked for us in a pinch. Starving and thirsty after our show let out at BAM, Bijan's seemed to be the only thing open in the vicinity, and it was great to be welcomed inside by the friendly staff. Good vibes from the attractively decorated interior, but I had eyes only for my G&T, which started out tasting fine but halfway through tasted weird - maybe the tonic water they used? At any rate, our server was very efficient, the food we ordered came out quickly, and we inhaled it. The best of what we ordered was the calamari, which had some interesting middle eastern spicing in the breading and the dipping sauce. The skewers were unremarkable, as was the eggplant dip and stale pitas. The salad was very good, but for some reason, it had bacon in it. I would possibly come here for a drink if I lived in the 'hood. read more

Came here on a Saturday night before going out for a birthday. It's a cute little spot in the neighborhood. My gf and I came in and sat at the bar and received attentive service. We ordered calamari to start. The calamari had interesting seasoning on it, it wasn't the greatest but it also wasn't terrible. For our mains, she had the rosemary lime sumac chicken and I the pistachio crusted salmon. I spent the evening eating out of her plate since the chicken was well seasoned and the flavor with the mash potatoes was delicious. I finished my salmon, not because it was great, but because I was starving. The salmon lacked flavor and I just hate when salmon tastes so fresh because it doesn't need to be this way. I would however return here because the chicken was great! read more

We are in for an overnight and stopped into Bijan's for brunch. The omelet was one of the best I have ever had. The cocktail was excellent with cayenne pepper topping it off. Most importantly the service and ambiance were great. As Joe Bob the Drive-in Movie Critic use to say, "Check it out." You will not be disappointed. read more
