Beef Kabob Barg

The prices are very reasonable and the best dish is the marinated steak pieces. The chicken is great too but steak is a favorite, and very flavorful. The basmati rice with saffron and sour cherries also a favorite. For dessert, love the Saffron and Rosewater flavored ice cream. It's very refreshing and not heavy. As for the service, very good and attentive staff. Ambience is nice.

Kashke Bademjan
Latrice S.

If you are looking for authentic and delicious Persian food, you must try this place! We ordered the Kashke Bademjan as an appetizer and the Ash Reshteh Soup and chicken Breast kabob as our entrees. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially their Ash soup. Currently researching the recipe to make myself because it was that good!! Lol Not sure if it's a family run restaurant but it definitely felt like it. Service was welcoming and attentive. 5 stars! This location is right off palisades avenue and street parking is available. Another top restaurant to put on our list.

I was excited to try Kabob On the Cliff out for lunch after finding there was a Persian place nearby. Maybe it was because it was delivery, but I wasn't as impressed. I ordered the falafel, hummus, shirazi salad, beef kabob pita, and gheimeh bademjan stew. The falafel came warm and crunchy and the hummus was nicely seasoned. I asked for Persian flatbread for both orders, since they each came with accompanying bread, but got one order flatbread and one pita. The shirazi salad came with a separate lemony vinaigrette, but it didn't save the salad from being disappointingly bland. The beef in both the kabob sandwich and the stew were sadly dry. The gheimeh was pungent and slightly tart, which came from the lime, and the split peas were perfectly cooked. The fried eggplant on top was tender as well. My other complaint is the mismatch between the online menu and the delivery menu. I wasn't able to order on the phone, as when I called they directed me to place it on a delivery service, but there were no lunch special options available on Grubhub. Some menu items don't appear on the delivery menu as well. Overall, it was a hit or miss depending on the items. Not sure if the experience would be different in person.

Chicken Kebob with half rice & half salad.
Irene C.

Saw people recommend this place on the Facebook group and I decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. The chicken kebob that I ordered is tasty and flavorful, it's chicken breast meat but it doesn't taste dry at all. The rice, bread and side salad are also very good. I didn't give 5 stars because I ordered 2 extra tomatoes but they didn't give them to me and I didn't find out until I were already home. Fortunately, the extra tomatoes is only 75 cents each, so it doesn't hurt too much! Will return again!

This Persian restaurant was amazing. We tried their Barley Soup which was so good, we had to buy one to take home!!! The Persian salad was very good. My only complaint about it was it needed more dressing. The balsamic mix glaze wasn't enough for me since I need dressing on every leaf; if I'm eating more dry greens than moist... it's too dry for me. I would have asked for more dressing on the side. The Kabob combo for 2 was delicious. We got lamb Koobideh but looking back we would have gotten beef since the platter already comes with lamb (which was the best part of the platter). The chicken skewer was good but was probably my least favorite item on my table. The rice was on point! I hate rice but this basmati rice which is topped with saffron is A1. Finally we decided to get the Iranian Ice cream & it was sooo refreshing!! I could taste the rose in it and the saffron gave it a great taste. Would definitely come back here or order out when we are in the mood for some Middle Eastern food. I didn't see pork on menu so place might be a good place for those seeing more Kosher like restaurants. The waitress was polite and helpful. She helped answer any questions i had and always kept her mask on when we sat in. A Must Go to Restaurant!!

Authentic food

Amazing Persian restaurant. Good service and food at a mostly reasonable price. Could have more variety and more specials, but the main courses are authentic and taste fresh. Recommend to any Middle Eastern food lovers. The hostess Ati she's adorable and very nice and kind.

We visited New York from California and didn't expect to find such incredible Persian food, but…read moreRavagh completely exceeded our expectations. Every dish was full of authentic flavor and perfectly prepared--it quickly became our favorite spot in the city. In fact, we ended up dining here three times during our one-week vacation because we just couldn't stay away. The quality, consistency, and warm atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. A special thank you to Moosa and Joel, the restaurant managers, for their generosity and outstanding hospitality. They truly made our experience even more memorable. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

We made a reservation earlier in the day and everything from start to finish was smooth. Everyone was so welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. The food was AMAZING, super fresh, top quality, and the portions were huge. Definitely worth every penny. The kabobs were flavorful, juicy, and honestly some of the best I've had. You can tell they really care about the food and overall experience here. If you're visiting NYC or even local and looking for delicious Persian food, definitely give this place a try. So happy this ended up being one of our first food spots in New York!

And might I say this from the start of this review ; it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. Reserving a table here was very simple and Thorough to book, nothing complicated; completely straightforward through resy. But I will have to say that you should keep in mind to try to book a day or two before, usually the eatery is quite packed, as I can imagine no one can get enough of their amazing dishes I headed here again on a very heavy raining Thursday, it was a day before the flood in September happened but I was hoping to meet a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in a while and we wanted to head somewhere nice. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere with soothing , warm dark interior that instantly connected with my heart and brought me back to the heart of Persia. riendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. I always tend to judge a place and how close to the home version of food is based on who is eating at the restaurant and when you walk through the door the entire place is filled with people eating of middle eastern/Persian decent, this tells me this place is gonna be pretty good. If there were ten stars, I wouldn't hesitate to give them. Amazing Iranain cuisine, full with authentic traditional dishes. I go to this restaurant and their other locations many times and I can't get enough of it. I am middle eastern and I appreciate a really authentic food. The first time I was here, I didn't really have anything but their persian tea, since I already ate After finally scavenging around with the waitress to finalize our order, we settled on getting : We started off with the lime rose and cucumber mint cocktails, very enriching and sweet. Nothing too light nor heavy, just in between that way it have the perfect opportunity to devour our meals in peace without feeling completely full. I'll have to say one of the of the tastiest and lightest cocktails i've had in recent memory. First plate we shared was the Komaj Bread with the Carrot Borani. The minute I saw on the menu that, my eyes dropped right to the dish infused with zaffron youghrt, my heart melted ever so softly and knew zaffron yoghurt was definitely something I wanted my taste buds to revisit. The sweet warm honey with olive oil and zaffron yoghurt really balanced each other in a world ___, brought an interesting twist to the carrots, espousing eating it with the Komaj Bread. The kebab koobdieh had the best texture, very sweet and tender that just melted it's juices into your mouth, honestly one of the best kebabs i've had in New york. We also ordered the Half Chicken Zereshk Polo, very tasty and nourishing, really did meet my every expectations to the fine making of persian rice dishes, the taste is still can remember it to this day. I really would recommending going with these two meals. Overall, I cannot recommend Eyval enough - the atmosphere, the food, and the service were all top-notch. If you're looking for a taste of great Persia in Brooklyn, look no further than Eyval! It's a must try. Lastly I'd like to highlight our friendly waitress, truly she was the sweetest: very positive and polite lady, helped with recommendations, personal drinks and meals she enjoyed, and everything! Was very talkative and welcoming to Eyval, I really enjoyed having her as our waitress. I completely forgot to get her name, but she was an Afghani girl, very accommodating would definitely ask for her when I come back again! I've been to Eyval thrice now, and I can't emphasize this enough when I say they never fail to astonish me. Each time they have stunned me with their terrific service and mouthwatering menu. I'm coming back again and again for sure!

I think you really cant go wrong with any of the options which is rare to find in a restaurant. Will definitely be back to enjoy with friends and family.

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.

Anyway, might as well give a small update because this place closed back in mid-February this year, along with the kosher Great American Health Bar downstairs. They apparently closed as the diner downstairs forged their lease, which isn't exactly kosher. The prices had gone up significantly since the last time I was there, with both the menu online not having been updated and with a tacked-on mandatory 4% service fee, which wasn't listed on the menu and instead was in tiny print outside. We also got extra bread, which apparently was an extra $5 without them telling us either. All in all, we felt a bit ripped off in terms of service. Outside of the portions changing, the food was good again. For appetizers, we got the Kashke Bademjan, Mast Mosir, and Kuku Sabzi. Mains included the Zereshk Polo Ba Morgh, Chelo Kebab Koobideh, Ghormeh Sabzi, and Fesenjoon. We also got the Shole Zard for dessert. I'd put more effort into those descriptions, but we disliked our experience, even if the food was yet again pretty good.
