Great place! Have enjoyed dinner twice here - both times excellent! BYO which is fantastic; parking on the street. For apps we enjoyed the hummus, the unique pita that is served, potato salad, Shirazi Salad (heavily dressed) & Kashk-e-Bademjan (eggplant). Beware - the eggplant app has a ton of garlic! Entree's: Kabob-e-Bakhtiyary is soooo good! Get it with the fabulous basmati & saffron rice! Large portion. I was adventurous & tried a chicken stew (Koresht-e-Fesenjoon). It's very sweet & presentation wise, doesn't look great but very unique & needs to be mixed w/the basmati/saffron rice that you receive. Service is fantastic. Definitely check this place out! read more

Marjan Fine Persian Grill - Delish hummus! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

On a Friday night in June, my wife and I met friends at Marjan for dinner. It was our first time here. The restaurant is located a few blocks from the Morristown Green. It's a small, family run place with excellent food. We started off by ordering appetizers of Hummus and kashk-e-bademjan (puréed eggplant) served with pita. Both were very good! This is a BYOB, so the wine was perfect with this. For entrees, my wife and I both ordered Kabob-e-barg, which was marinated pieces of filet mignon, served with Basmati rice. My wife also ordered a small salad. The rice was amazing! I really enjoyed that and the salad which we split. We had to order the homemade baklava for dessert...great way to top off the meal! Morristown has so many great restaurant options. Every time we come here we always say that we should come here more often. With parking garages, it's always easy to come here, park, and walk around the town. If you're coming here, Marjan is a good choice for a delicious meal. read more

Good Mediterranean food Small place but has many tables - good service Parking is tight on the road with the construction however you can park near cvs and cross the road The food was quite good and well done We ordered the lamb chops , lamb Kababs and chicken kababs and also the combination appetizers . The bread was amazingly fresh and warm and was great to eat along with hummus and the potato salad The chicken was well cooked and tasted great - the lamb was a bit chewy and not super tender to liking but overall a good meal here Try out the special rice dishes The special rice with raisins was a bit too sweet but was flavorful . The best was the Persian ice cream and the baklava - very different and a must try .. read more

Not impressed or would not come again. Food was okay the rice lacked flavors. The service was poor. We had to signal the waiters many times even though the place was mostly empty. The vacuum noise was annoying. The waiter had no idea of food recommendations. The ambiance was so outdated and boring atmosphere. Bathroom door needs more cleaning. read more

I had the lamb chops with a salad. Food was decent and service was good. I didn't get the wow factor from it.

Love, love, love the Fesenjoon. This was the one place my family from Denver insisted on going to when they visited last November. Luckily they like the kabobs and the mixed appetizers or I would only be able to comment on the one dish I crave! All of the dishes we have tried have been good. Even got a lot of help getting takeout for 7 to the car. read more

Staycations may not be super-fun but with the temperature in the 40s I went to Morristown for a walk and some outdoor dining at the Green. The extremely fast Uber Eats pickup included the mast-o-moosir dip with yogurt and shallots and the kuku Persian-style fritatta (the first option including spinach and parsley; there's another variant with eggplant). The standout was the aash soup - far creamier, onion-laden and dense than usual (these adjectives will have to suffice until I get into CIA Blogger School). Even without an entree, this was substantial and enjoyable. I liked the little touches, like the pickles that accompanied the kuku. read more

Had a very nice meal here with my girlfriend. Each course was excellent and our server, who I think was the owner, was very friendly and helpful. We had the dolma, lentil soup, lamb entree with the specialty rice with barberries, and the "most exotic stew." Each piece of the meal was delicious and had something that you wouldn't usually find elsewhere (or at non Persian restaurants). The pomegranate sauce with the dolma, the barberries, and the stew's sauce really stood in this respect. Very reasonable prices, especially considering how much food we ate. read more

Wonderful dinner! I ordered it to go for myself and my parents on a weekday night through uber eats. The food was ready in ~30 min and was still warm when I got it home. I'd recommend ordering several dishes to share among a group of people. The prices are a bit steep, but the portions are pretty generous and I felt it was worth it. Food: -Ground Sirloin Kebab: tasty and a really filling -lamb chops: delicious and full of flavor. You also get 5 small chops, so plenty to eat -kebab e barg: SUPER tender. Easily my favorite meat -Shirin Polo: I was dubious about paying $14 for rice but it was worth every penny. So much flavor! -koresht e fesenjoon: this stew was the star of the show. The flavor is out of this world and you MUST GET THIS Overall, you really can't go wrong- everything was super flavorful and tasty. Will definitely go here again. read more

Marjan Fine Persian Grill - Koobideh and salad shirazi - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

I would say for the most part this place is great, especially because there aren't many Persian places in the area. Their rice is always tasty and they make a good Persian ice cream. I will say that their protein is a hit or miss, something things come out perfect and sometimes the chicken or shrimp is a little overcooked. When my office ordered catering it was a bit of the latter... so consistency isn't their strong suit but overall I've had good experiences here. read more

Amazing food, lovely people. Best and juiciest chicken breast kabob I've ever had! Even the side salad had the most amazing chunk of feta on it. Their food is clean, tasty and healthy! read more

Persian ice cream is the best. It is very layered in flavor. And it tastes very fresh and uplifting. I put this first, because it's the most important part of the review. We were greeted and seated quickly. The table looked clean, but the waiter cleaned it again before seating us, we appreciated that. Fesenjoon, is something we saw recommended by other Yelpers. We ordered the chicken version. The waiter suggested we try a small sample before getting the whole plate. He said something to the effect of it being a unique taste. We agreed to try the sample, and it was very good. The flavor is very unique. I imagine it might be overwhelming to many people's taste buds. My wife and I lean towards exotic and heavily spiced foods, so we of course liked it very much. We also ordered a lunch special, the kubideh. It was very tasty. It came with rice. The rice had a nice subtle flavor that added to the experience. All in all, the food was very good. I planned on giving the restaurant 4 stars, but the Persian ice cream deserves all the stars. And the waiter deserves 5 stars as well. He was a quiet and very likable man. read more

My father in law came for lunch here and brought home some of his rice - holy wow, Batman! Because I didn't dine in restaurant, I can't speak to the ambiance but he took some photos of his meal and the place looked stunning inside. He said service and experience was wonderful (they came for a mid-week lunch - not sure if weekend/evening has a different feel). Food was outstanding - my FIL's partner had a chicken kebab and it was presented beautifully. My Father in Law ordered a rice dish with orange peel, pistachios, etc - an absolute delight. They started their meal with hummus and it was also just a gorgeous presentation. Phenomenal and now I can't wait to come myself and experience the real-deal in person! read more

Persian restaurant in downtown Morristown where parking is a challenge. Once your inside though, it's all chill. I hear the owner is very involved and does the cooking most of the time and I feel good supporting a small local biz. Appetizer: Sabzi frittata, hummus, and shirazi salad with their homemade bread. They provide some seasoning on the side for the hummus , this is great for all people who are either complaining not enough or too much. Dinner: Shared the chicken kabob and the shishlik lambchop - the winner was definitely the lampchops -WOW! Overall, I love it when I'm not rushed, we sat and had a relaxing dinner. We were too full for dessert meaning we will be back for the ice cream that everyone RAVES about and the baklava. Can't wait! read more

Marjan has a nice ambiance with warm, relaxing decor. We were greeted immediately as we walked in and seated right away. We ordered three appetizer platter with The dolmeh (grape leaves) were served with a homemade pomegranate and tamarind sauce. The kashk -e-bademjan was served with a flat thin bread which is very similar to a wrap. The flavor of the kashk e bademjan is awesome. The KuKu (frittata) was very different. It's got the consistency of a cake but very light. It's served with pickles and fresh red/yellow pepper which definitely enhances the flavors. The kabab platter had a beef kabab, 4 chicken kabab pieces, and lamb kabab. The chicken kababs were so flavorful! The side of rice was sprinkled with some seasoning and were very tasty. The host served us as well and was very attentive. He made sure to check up on us and gave us enough room to enjoy our meal. Nice place. read more

The ICE CREAM made this a five stars for me. * Walked in and was greeted by a very nice person. He cleaned off a private table in the back quickly for us. Service overall was very quick and friendly. I had the Persian Iced Tea as my drink and it was lovely. We started with the hummus, which came with bread (I think it was some kind of whole grain). It was excellent - lovely olive oil drizzled on and smooth consistency. For dinner I had the Kabob-e-barg. The grass fed meat was so soft in texture. Never really had steak like this. It was cooked to my liking and was very flavorful and juicy. The side rice was also very good. The star of the show was the ice cream. What an experience! Tasted high quality - nothing that you could ever get from a container. The pistachios gave it a nice slight crunch. * Really lovely establishment. * ALSO! I have to mention they are extremely attentive to allergies. I had two people (one I believe was the owner) who came to the table to review my husband's food allergies. You don't always find consideration like this in restaurants. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner. AMAZING food and great service. We had the following: Appetizers: - Kashk-e-Bademjan [Absolutely delicious, my favorite item hands down.] - Hummus [Fresh and flavorful] Mains: - Kabob-e-Bakhtiyary with Grilled Veggies [Meat was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and overall fantastic] - Kabob-e-Sultani [Same as above] - Fesenjoon [This was an interesting dish. I recommend getting it for the table to eat with other dishes, but on its own it's a little overwhelming. Definitely a must try though] Desserts: - Persian Ice Cream [Amazing! Light weight and not too sweet. Very unique] - Baklava [Disappointing, dry, no honey] - Turkish Coffee [Delicious and very cute presentation] Overall we would definitely come back! read more

I finally made it here. Started with hummus. I think they roast it. It was one of the best I had with some of their homemade pita. We split their house plate which had chicken, lamb and sirloin. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. We finished with baklava and a Turkish Coffee. The service was perfect. They even let me try one of the sauces fo a sweet and sour stew they make because I couldn't make up my mind. Who does that? It is not to be confused with Chinese food. Very tasty and I will order next time. Our bill was $68! We are not big eaters. We split the app and shares the entree which is for 2 people. We left very satisfied and plan to return. read more

All and all great experience and food. The entire table got kebabs (either chicken or lamb) and we all enjoyed them. We also got the hummus appetizer to share which was equally as tasty. We were served our food quickly and have no complaints. (Only thought is that there really weren't any mitigation's in regards to covid.. regular menus etc.) Would go back and anxious to spread the word as I feel like this place doesn't get enough publicity due to the fact that it's not directly off the green read more

I had the chicken kabobs for the first time a few months ago. They were succulent (so very moist and juicy) and delicious! Could not stop thinking about the meal so I ordered again today but sadly, the chicken kabobs were dry to the point of not being enjoyable. So disappointed because I used door dash which means I paid so much more for this dish. Marjan, your food is good but it needs to be consistent. I just wasted $30 (total in DD) for a $17.95 dish that was not as expected. Chicken dried out? Toss it. Do not send it out to a customer. The only way I would ever take a chance again is to dine in where I have the option of sending a dish back if not prepared accordingly. read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch with my family. They weren't busy at all so we got seated right away. Quiet persian music playing in the background which was nice. Our server was super attentive and came to us right away. For appetizer: we got the combo platter of 1. Hummus (pretty bland and simple if you ask me) 2. Dolmeh (good grape leaves but I liked the balsmaic on top especially) and 3. Kashk-e-Bademjan (pureed eggplant...which was everyone's favorite item!) For main entree: the kabobs were all good. I especially liked the chicken kabob and the filet mignon. the saffron rice is pretty yet super bland as the persian style usually is I guess. Did not like the stews at all! I dont think they are popular dishes.. as soon as we considered ordering them, our server offered us samples first before committing to ordering that item which was actually amazing bc it turns out we didn't like either the Gourmeh Sabzi or the Koresht-e-Fesenjoon. Guess its an acquired taste and our server knew we wouldnt like it. Desserts: persian ice cream is the best! the baklava is homemade and fresh. the strawberry glasse just tasted like a light strawberry milkshake to me. Recommend? yes if you want to try a new cultural food Return? probably not. i need more flavor. read more

Authentic great food. Many options for vegans. This is one of the rate places you can get a vegan Fesenjan, which was delicious! The waitress and chaffing were very helpful and nice. Maajun drink was yummy too as desert. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. I came with coworkers for a team dinner. The reservation process was seamless. Once we arrived we were treated by friendly waiters and host. We had a pre-fixed menu that was just what was needed. For appetizer I had potato salad and delicious pickled vegetables my main entree was chicken and shrimp kabobs with white saffron rice. The flavors were blended perfectly I just couldn't put my fork down. This is a gem that I will continue to support. read more

We don't visit this restaurant as often as we should, but we plan to change that!

Go before (& after) the new Valley National Bank is finished and occupied nearby, as I predict Marjan Fine Persian Grill will increase in popularity! read more

I am Persian and have been on the search for good Persian food in NJ. Morristown is about 30-40 min away from me. This restaurant is about 4-5 blocks away from downtown. It is formal in appearance. The host greeted us warmly. Sat us at a nice table. He gave us time to settle before he asked what we would like to drink. By that time we knew already that we wanted the following appetizers: 1) Kashk-e-bademjan - a roast eggplant puree with fried mint and roasted garlic and this special yogurt sauce. 2) Dolmeh - Rolled up grape leaves with this delectable pomegranate syrup and lastly 3) Kookoo Sabzi - A kind of frittata made of heavy herbs like parsley, cilantro, etc. Our food came out fresh, and so delicious. It was heavenly. As for the entree I got the Chelo Kabob Sultani, a king's meal indeed. It has one skewer of seasoned ground beef, kind of like a sausage, called koobideh. It comes with another skewer of barg, or thin filet mignon. The filet was to-die-for. It was melt in your mouth soft, marinated in some saffron and pepper with lemon. So incredibly good. My better half got the chicken breast, also marinated in some saffron and pepper with lemon. It was cooked juicy and not dry at all. She got hers with salad, I got mine with rice. My rice was fluffy and light. We ended our meal with two scoops of happiness -- Persian ice cream. This ice cream is hard to find, it is made of pure cream, rose water, saffron and crushed pistachios. It is decadent, rich but light at the same time. You can't not get it. Oh by the way this place is BYOB and there's a wine/liquor store right next door. It is a nice place, a great first date or a special dinner kind of venue. read more

We drove from Manhattan for this restaurant and it was the best Persian food we have eaten in the US so far. My family are Iranian, so the standard is high! We cook Persian food at home and always explore Persian restaurants when we travel. This was by far the finest food we have found. The barg was so tender it melted in your mouth. The lamb shank was also tender and expertly cooked. The baklava was tasty and original. The chocolate dessert had exactly the right amount of sweetness. The whole meal was exactly the right amount. We travelled from Manhattan for this place and we will do so again and again. Well worth the drive for such high quality food. I only wish this place was closer to the city! read more

Yummmm. Wanted to try something different with my girlfriend, so decided to get some Persian food. We definitely made a good choice. My girlfriend decided on the lamb kabob and I got the lamb chops. Both were absolutely delicious but the lamb chops were to die for! I had it cooked medium and it was perfect. Service was nice too and it had a nice ambiance inside. Wouldn't hesitate to come back again. read more

I met a friend for lunch who is a vegetarian, while I am not. We are truly glad we chose Marjan as I ordered the Filet Mignon kabab, which was tender as a workday is long, and my pal order the Grilled Vegetable Lunch Platter with a side salad instead of rice. He was more than satisfied with the amount of food and highly satisfied with the taste of everything. The restaurant was clean and staff had masks on at all times. The place is a gem! read more

Good ambiance and location. Good menu selections. However the food itself compared to other Mediterranean and Persian restaurant requires improvement. We ordered mixed platter along with few sides and dessert. Chicken was chewy and the meat is seasoned very bland. We had to ask for sauces which were good. The biggest shock was the bill which we thought was too high for the kind of food and service offered. Overall a meh experience. I give two stars because I normally ask myself would I come here again or not. Desserts btw are ok. They are considerably unique so try them. But as I said they are pricey. And oh tea with cardamom is served luke warm. It needs to really hot to enjoy. But really nice smell and authentic. And lastly, make sure if they give you a table with bench by the windows, that bench is uncomfortable and not built to sit on. Avoid. read more
