Ravagh Persian Grill

We stopped by to have lunch with the family. We loved the food, it was full of flavours, my kids loved it, the portions are big. I ended up packing the rest for takeout as i couldnt finish it all. The meat, the salad, their variety of flavoured rice i tried, are all great and we enjoyed it very much.

I only like the free bread the best. I order chicken kabob and lamb stew. Both are just so so. We 2 people ate about $40, which is really worth the price. However, the food is just too average that it wouldn’t attract me to come here again.

This is a top notch Persian cuisine with high quality kebabs, rich stews, and fantastic rice dishes. Highly recommend the Albaloo Polo rice as well as the Zereshk Polo which are both traditional. Baklava is homemade and of high quality.

Truly delicious and traditional Persian cuisine. We tried to order a bit of everything and were incredibly happy with everything here. From the delicious flavors of the food, to the large portions of food, to the quick and very friendly service - it was all on point. I would 10/10 return here again next time I am in the city and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to have some delicious Persian food!

We had lunch at the restaurant on Madison Ave. The quality of food was good overall, although some of them had flaws which cannot go unnoticed by Iranian people: for example, the bread which was served was not Barbari bread at all and it was served with a green sauce with Jalapeños which is obviously not Persian, and another one which was yogurt and cucumber but not Masto Khiar as traditionally the yogurt shouldn’t have been so liquid. As per Persian tradition bread has to be served with dense plain yogurt or Masto Moosir or bread with cheese and cucumber. The waiting time to get the food served was longer than in other places. The restaurant was very busy. The quality and the quantity of the meat in koobideh were very good, and the meat was cooked perfectly and juicy, although the koobideh taste was not the taste it should be, it reminded me more of an hamburger to be honest. The quality and the cooking quality of the rice was perfectly and the smell was alright. Salad Shirazi was in good quantity but dill was added instead of mint! Moreover, I couldn’t taste the onion and salt and lemon were missing. Ghormeh Sabzi was good for Persian standards. The staff were very kind and helpful. The restaurant itself is modern and clean, with Persian songs broadcasted. overall recommended if you don’t have great expectations.

Ravagh

As a local resident, I have had the pleasure of dining at Ravagh Persian Grill on several occasions, and I can confidently say that it's one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is simply amazing.

What sets Ravagh apart from other Persian restaurants in the area is their kebab. It's simply out of this world! The meat is always cooked to perfection, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning. The portions are generous, and you can always expect your dish to be served piping hot and fresh.

In addition to their amazing kebab, Ravagh also offers a variety of other Persian dishes that are equally impressive. Their stews and rice dishes are full of flavor, and the vegetarian options are equally delicious. And let's not forget about the fresh bread they serve, which is simply irresistible.

The staff at Ravagh are also incredibly friendly and attentive. They are always happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions you may have about the menu. The service is top-notch, and the staff always go above and beyond to ensure that your dining experience is enjoyable.

Overall, if you're looking for a delicious Persian meal, I highly recommend Ravagh Persian Grill. Their kebab is simply amazing, and the other dishes are equally impressive. The warm and inviting atmosphere, combined with the friendly staff and great food, make this restaurant a must-visit in the neighborhood.

The food was DELICIOUS!!! They were attentive servers, but didn't push us out. My favorite was the chicken kabob with specialty rice, it had barberries and saffron! So yummy. We had Persian food in another city and wanted to see if we could find some in Manhattan. My mom and I shared yummy baklava and my husband had lemon sorbet in the lemon shell. He didn't leave any left.

I tried several Persian food restaurants in different places and this one is no less than them. It is a good restaurant with good food and service. We tried the beef and lamb kebab and the beef was better in taste. The lamb was a little spicy but overall both were delicious! The starter was traditional eggplant and was excellent.

This is my second time eating here and I'm never disappointed. The cherry rice is probably the most amazing rice I have ever eaten. Staff and menu is amazing. If you're looking for a meal this is the place to go to fill up your belly...lol

Great place, huuuge portions, prices are regular if not low. Meat is tender and tasting fresh. I been there maybe 8 times, always enjoyed. Try their Sultani kabob, that gives you the best bounce for an ounce. Salads and appetizers are good too, they could be entire meal in itself.
