    I've frequented the Ravagh in Roslyn a lot but have never been to any of the other locations. After frequenting this location, it's nice to confirm that their food is great all around. My favorite dish will always be their lamb chops/lamb shank but you can't go wrong with anything here. If you haven't tried Ravagh yet, what are you waiting for :).

    Chicken Shish Kebob Dinner
    Shannon S.

    I was working late one evening and ordered the chicken shish kebab dinner through DoorDash and it arrived still hot which is always a plus. It was a large portion of protein and veggies. Everything was cooked well and charred just right. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could have probably saved some for another meal too, but I was starving. I look forward to dining in person!

    Some of the better Persian food I've had in this country. We split an order of the fesenjan, the kashk bademjan, and the chicken koobideh kebab, which was more than enough good. The pita bread was great, and fesenjan was perfect, the kashk bademjan was scrumptious, and so was the chicken koobideh kebab. Couldn't ask for anything more, huge fan of the place! We got a table for two quite easily, but it was packed and it felt like we got lucky getting a table so quickly. Will for sure be back!

    Happy palate! Amazing, delicious and healthy food! The hummus and flat bread are a perfect combination. The kabob and steak are very tasty, tender, juicy and go well with the cucumber salad. Moises is the best! Wonderful people.

    The staff are friendly and koobideh kabob is good but I certainly don't recommend sultani with "barg kebob". I have tried it twice and both times very hard , chewy and burnt on corners. The inside is pretty but unfortunately no sound isolation and is super loud and irritating for someone who doesn't live in NY.

    One of the very best places to eat Persian food. For NYC food scene, this place holds up to high expectations. Persian cuisine is hard to get right on the spot and this place delivered it graciously. Went back another time when I was in the area. Highly recommend. Great service and great ambiance.

    Ravagh Persian Grill is a pretty crowded and well-lit restaurant. Unfortunately we were seated right by the door and the winter breeze in February made it less pleasant as the door opened and closed frequently, but it was still a positive experience overall. We ordered Babganoosh for an appetizer and Salmon Kabobs for entrees. The portions were huge and neither my friend and I could finish. We had the chocolate cake for dessert but it was mediocre--not chocolatey enough and the texture was off.

    Came here with a group of friends to celebrate a belated Eid. The service, appetizers, and entrees were really well done and tasted fresh/seasoned accordingly. We ordered: Hummus Babaganoosh Labne Lamb Koobideh Kabob Koobideh Kabob Salmon Kabob Shrimp Kabob French Fries Ghourmeh Sabzi Khoresh Fesenjan Baklava Faloodeh Space can feel a bit cramped if you're coming with more than 2+ people but the ambience is very intimate and the quality of the food speaks for itself. Can be hard to find but it's around the corner of 7-Eleven!

    ESRA was wonderful. She seated my friend and me right away and gave us a table we loved. She patiently explained the menu and was so warm and welcoming that we decided to come back again on the spot. The lamb with eggplant was delicious. The salad is refreshing. I had Persian tea, which was refilled for me to take with me. Love the place, the food, the warm service. Go eat here and ask for Esra. She will make you feel like you came home.

    Barg Kebob
    Julia J.

    Delicious dinner! Easy to walk in on a weekend evening for 2ppl. The baba ghanoush was a great way to start the meal, and the barg (steak) kebab blew me away - so good! Portions were generous as well. The rice I could live without, but I was more focused on the beef - the star of the show....

    Can't go to NYC and don't try a Persian restaurant. Ravagh not only didn't disappoint but it was excellent, cozy vibes, great customer service and amazing joojeh kabab. Stuff was very professional and friendly Highly recommend.

    Saffron Persian Ice Cream
    Azam K.

    Great food, great ambiance and fairly quick service for peak dinner time. When you go, prioritize the stews with rice. The stew with pomegranate was absolutely amazing. The grill mix platter was good. Glad this is another halal meat option. The baklava was amazing and the saffron ice cream was good. Overall, solid Persian food that gives a decent amount of food and the price reflects being in Midtown. Would recommend!

    Ghourmeh Sabzi, Sultani Kebob, Lamb Shank Stew, Koobideh Kebob
    Karen L.

    Absolutely one of my favorite meals ever. (The pictures don't do it justice because this was after we had finished eating). The portions were HUGE (essentially everything is shareable) and all the food was flavorful and tender. It's been hard to find Persian food around the city but I'm so glad I found this place because it satisfied a craving I'd had for a while for Ghormeh Sabzi (beef chunks & beans in a parsley-scallion stew, also the national dish of Iran). The food exceeded all expectations. The workers were very friendly and the interior felt home-y. The cranberry rice was our least favorite but everything else was delicious. I would absolutely come back again and bring more friends and family.

    Does this restaurant serve alcohol?

    They do.

    Is this only takes out and delivery or do u have sit down also I cant seem to make a reservation for dinning in?

    They have a seating area. You can make a reservation anytime.

    Is everything hala?

    I am 100% certain the beef is Hala

    Is it still byob?

    Hi, We now have our liquor license and outside liquor is not permitted however you can bring your own bottle of wine if youd like for a small corkage fee.

    Did you receive your liquor license yet?

    I went there 3 weeks ago and they did not have the license at that time.

    Is it a BYOB?

    Since we did not obtain out liquor license yet, you can bring alcohol with you. This will be in affect until our liquor license is approved. I hope this was helpful.

    Is this place Halal, can the restaurant provide proof it is Halal?

    I called before and asked them. Their staff told me: "Yes. The Menu is %100 Halal." And in my opinion, they have one of best Mediterranean Grill and Kebab in NYC.… Read more

The staff is so friendly and so many persians were there, I was quite pleased at that! You don't typically walk into any restaurant in Chelsea/Flatiron and find that half the people or more in the restaurant are of that culture (unless we're talking cheeseburgers or wings here). Their wine list is extensive and interesting. They don't have everything on it, but that's okay, we had a fun Artadi wine from Spain - a winery we've been to, which was what I was going for on the list. The cocktails didn't speak to me, but that's okay, persian cocktails can be great or confused. These seemed more on the confused side. The fresh herbs were served as an app, and they were great. Just like my grandma always has on her table. The feta stuffed dates were fantastic, again a nice treat that reminds me of something my grandma might serve me. The labne was stellar with pita bread, and the kashk e bademjan was really good, though not like any I've made before. But that dish can be wildly different anywhere you go. I asked for Tahdig and got some, but I got ghormeh sabzi dolloped on my tahdig which was interesting - like ghormeh sabzi nachos. I do wish the ghormeh sabzi was better. However I may just be extremely partial to our own ghormeh sabzi at home. The cornish game hen kabas were out of this world! sooooo juicy! Definitely worth a visit - you'll enjoy it - but I don't know if tahdig and ghormeh sabzi here are the way to go.

Soft blankets, but still, I was worried Our menus flew away so I went inside and asked if we could sit somewhere else. They were able to sit us on the side of the restaurant outside under a plastic enclosure. Sitting down I was a little bit worried because the chairs at the table seemed really rickety until I met Juan. I forgot all about the rickety chairs and tables once Juan and the food entered my life. Juan is a bright shiny star so happy self friendly so warm and he told us everything to order. He didn't lead us astray once and we love that in a waiter. This time during our our New York visit we were not only discussing our food we are also our waiters. As the hummus was being served, I was telling my table that I don't eat hummus anymore. I found a reason to go back on that here. A must order would be the very first bread in the bread slices for handstands down. So I must've said that it was my birthday when I made the reservation which my birthday is this month and our dessert came with a candle and Juan sang happy birthday to me. It was so freaking cute. I was with two non-dessert eaters but they dove in and I seriously got no more than 1/3rd of it, not one slurp bite or morsel more. I wanted to order another. The only chains I'd make is that I wish there were more bathrooms. I felt bad for the waitstaff peeking at the line and choosing not to stand in it. I hear the chef is up for a James Beard award and the menu is changing with more veggies for the summer. I'll be back in August!

Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.
