The food and service were fantastic. The lunch special is also an awesome deal for how much food you get!

Ok - the food is alright. It had the real Persian cream, hot pepper and condiments. But the service was not to par. Not only did he forget to give me something to drink but he just brings the items to my table even if it is about to fall in a corner. Also with grunts. The ambience is not too nice. But the food was alright. I just was walking by to get to a Lexington Subway and saw this place. Love the condiments they had. No special Persian coffee either. read more

Close down ASAP. This used to be my goto, I will never go here again. Last night I had what is probably the worse meal of my life. I had the falafel wrap which for the last ten years was one of the best in NYC, now some bumbling fool whi thinks they are a short order cook at a terrible greasy diner is in control. It seems what this numskull did is take the falafels and break them up into like little crumbs and then deep fried that turning this into one of the most unhealthy foods on earth. All that remained was awful derp fried fried crumbs. So I ate this massive amount of overcooked super bad oil. I have been sick all day today. Not to mention that this meal took forever to make andcthe ice cream was melted when it finally left this hole. The poor delivery guy had to wait forever for the garbage to be ready. You would not serve this to your worse enemy. I actually believe that they need to consider closing. I am reporting this meal to the NYC Health Department. read more

- Quick and friendly service: ordered ahead for lunch on an early Monday afternoon and the pickup process was smooth and efficient - Spacious and quiet interior: plenty of tables available and the dining area was calm and quiet--perfect for a relaxed sit-down lunch - Delicious food: tried the char-broiled chicken breast kabab lunch special, which came with rice, grilled veggies, salad, pita, and a choice of hummus or eggplant ratatoui--the chicken was well-seasoned, nicely cooked, and stayed relatively moist; the rice was soft and fluffy, and the white and green sauces added great flavor - Good value: generous portion size for the price--definitely satisfying for a midday meal read more

Wanted to try something different and a friend of us suggested this . Had some good reviews in google and thought of going . It's a little tough to locate. There was some construction and the name board of this restaurant wasn't visible much . Also looking at the fonts of miraj, I thought it was an Indian restaurant. Lots of space inside . Ambience was ok .. service was average too. My friends smoked the chicken and lamb kebabs . They had real good response and said the smear was soft and authentic food . Price wise it was slightly expensive but it's ok once in a while . Vegetarian was very average . Actually not much of veg options . I got veg kebabs and it wasn't worth the 20$ at all. Didn't like the taste and was very bland . Wish they had more vegetarian options with felafel or something else . Wanted to give 3 but the taste of meat made me give a 4 star . Good experience overall but the vegetarian experience could surely be better . read more

Stopped in for lunch with some friends. The service was pretty quick and lunch portions were a good size. They brought over pita with some sauces and the green one was to die for. The hummus was delicious and the Greek salad had lots of toppings. The falafel sandwich came in a wrap which was strange, I wish it had come in a pita instead. My friend mentioned that they wish there was less rice and more meat but it was good. read more

Ate here for the first time cuz I was curious about the lunch special. Now the food was pretty ok. I got charred hen skewers with brown rice and the baba ganoush. I think it tastes good and is very convenient close to work. The service folks were nice. Very receptive and did their best to make sure our tables weren't piled. Now the flavor to me was standard. I felt like I didn't get enough protein. Plus I came with a friend and I think they gave them the wrong appetizer. No worries though because at least we liked our food. Whatever that white sauce was in that small pitcher that comes with the freshly hot pita was good. Also the way they fry up some fries, tasted real good and crispy the entire time I was eating them. I wish they came at the same time as our lunch order but that's our fault. If you want Persian, a lunch special, and something nearby to walk to from the office, I'd come here. If you're looking to extremely fat this ain't it. A bit pricey but that's New York right? read more

Great meal great service good size portions fairly priced and BYOB with no extra charge.. you will not be disappointed

Delicious and authentic Persian food. Excellent service and the owner is super nicer. Loved the lamb kobideh and kabab. The meat is fresh and tender. Can't go wrong with any of the options and love how healthy they are. They have prayer mats and place to pray which is lovely :) Perfect place for lunch or dinner! read more

Food was fine but someone at the restaurant opened a box I was carrying which I stored (for the time I was dining at a place of their choice). I presume it was opened in error thinking it a delivery but I would have preferred them to have admitted it as 1) I would have resealed it as it had been sealed (with shipping tape) 1) I don't appreciate being taken for a fool not to have noticed read more

The food was still yummy, the service still very slow. The grumpy guy's not there when we went but the service was so slow and we couldn't find the waiter because they were very short staffed and were also busy handling takeout orders. The food took a long time to come out, so do not expect a quick lunch. read more

Our first time receiving food from this for the office. Requested specific instructions due to severe allergies for certain staff dairy free, seafood allergy, When someone is requesting dairy free meals or vegan meals... butter has dairy. We have a staff member severely sick. We called the place and asked if they put butter in anything since we did not see any cheese... the staff member said yes in the rice. I began to elevate my voice and explain that it is dairy and he disconnected the line. Your location has to be mindful of allergies and can kill someone if you don't know if something has dairy you can too google or read the ingredients to be sure prior to serving a guest. We hope the staff member is ok and recovers back to his health despite this catastrophe. You should add allergies on your website as well "may contains" etc etc... read more

Miraj Healthy Grill - Chicken Breast Kabab Dinner - Persian/Iranian Near Me - New York, New York

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant. I was really craving kebab and they were one of the few restaurants I found that make beef kebab without lamb. The entree came an appetizer (grilled vegetables), pilau, hummus and pita. I thought it was a nice value. The beef was nice and tender and had a good taste but I thought it was a little low on salt so the full flavor didn't come through. The hummus was tasty too. Id be willing to give this place another shot and try something else. read more

Best mediterranean food in Manhattan. The salmon kabob early bird special was to die for 6/5 stars

I ordered delivery from here tonight. I ordered the salmon dinner and substituted the rice for grilled vegetables. I'm so happy you can do that at no charge! Delivery arrived a little late. Food was hot though. No problem. It arrived with a little side salad, tzatziki, a spicy green mixture, ground sumac (so cool), and a pita. A pleasant surprise! Salad was fresh and good. Both sauces good! Green one is spicy! The pita was soft. Everything was very good. The salmon itself arrived as a perfect portion size! It was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Would 100% order it again! The grilled vegetables included tomato, red pepper, green pepper, squash, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, onion, and eggplant. Chargrilled to perfection! Yummmm. Perfect price point for quality, portion size, and flavor. Will be ordering here again! So good. Highly recommend. :) read more

Miraj is a restaurant that offers Persian (Iranian) cuisine. We came here for the early dinner special (4pm-6pm). Their lunch special is $14.00 and the early dinner special is $16.00. For midtown, this was a steal. The special comes with your choice of meat with basmati rice - beef kebab, chicken kebab, cornish hen kebab, vegetarian kebab, fish, and more. We opted for the beef kebab and the lamb kebab and felt that they were good choices. The two meats were moist and very juicy. The basmati rice was nice too - light and fluffy like it should be. You also get grilled vegetables, a pita, and an appetizer with the special. We chose the eggplant ratatoui and the hummus. The hummus was slightly better and went great with the pita bread. In terms of the service, the waiter did not seem too enthusiastic, but the food here is good either way. read more

If you're searching for the best Persian food in New York City, look no further than Miraj Grill. I came in for the Sultani Kabab, and I can say without hesitation--it was the best I've ever had in NYC. The koobideh was juicy and rich with flavor, and the barg was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Every bite had depth, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. My mother ordered the Baghali Polo, and she couldn't stop talking about how aromatic and well-balanced it was. My father had the Ghormeh Sabzi Dani--and he said it was the closest thing he's had to our grandmother's cooking, which in our family is the highest possible praise. What made the whole experience unforgettable was Mohammad, the manager. He's not just kind--he's extraordinarily kind, genuinely caring, and very, very, very funny. He made us feel like we were family, bringing so much warmth and humor to the table that we were smiling the whole time. His energy elevated the entire evening and made a fantastic meal feel like a celebration. Miraj Grill isn't just a restaurant--it's a home away from home. Whether you're Persian or just love great food, this place is a must. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Miraj Healthy Grill - Persian/Iranian Near Me - New York, New York

I was very surprised to see how few Persian restaurants there are in Manhattan. We have many more in our city, and I have tried many of them, not just in my city, but several other cities, smaller than Manhattan. So, I was surprised at the quality of the food at this place. The bread was whole wheat pita which was nicely toasted, and probably pretty healthy but I have had much better bread at most other Persian restaurants. Also, there was no sabzi included with the bread, which is typically brought out with the bread at most Persian restaurants that I have been too, but it was an extra $8 item on the menu here. My friend got one of the lunch specials. She liked the ground beef kebab, but the Shirin saffron rice was not very good and she left most of it. It seemed to have more of a tomato-like flavor than saffron and it was mushy. I ordered a three appetizer combo with Sabzi, Kashke bademjan and Spinach Borani. A couple of menu-stated items were missing from the Sabzi: Radishes, mint, basil. The other two items were not very good either. I have had all 3 of these items at other Persian restaurants and all were much better there. I was also surprised that the waiter didn't seem to want to bring me more bread. The three starters that I ordered should have automatically come with bread because they are the type of food that you would naturally eat with something like bread. I would gladly have paid extra if that was suggested. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. We came in hoping for a good Persian meal and left very disappointed. read more

Pictured: Combination Platter, $48.00 and Chicken Kobideh, $15.95 This restaurant serves authentic Persian cuisine. We went with the combination platter, and chicken kobideh. The meat was very good, seasoned well, tender and juicy. The flavor was authentic and fresh. The rice was plain, but the green schug and white sauce (not pictured) complimented the rice and meat very well. Over all food was 8.5/10 Follow our insta: @nyc.halal for more halal food reviews!! read more

My friend and I came here for kabob after work one day and we were surprised they had an early bird dinner special! It's a great deal- you get a salad, an appetizer with pita bread, and entree for about $16. The chicken kabob was moist and flavorful; my only disappointment was that we did not have grilled tomatoes, in its place we got grilled veggies. That said, it was still good. I also got a tea at the end and it was delicious! The staff were attentive, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. This is a spot worth exploring. read more

got a lunch combo for $14. came with hummus, salad, saffron rice, meat of choice (i got the beef strips), and sauces. it was ready for pick up when i showed up and it was a very cozy family friendly mom n pop environment. price is fair and the hummus tasted great! for the kebab plate, it wasn't quite my favorite. the odd bits of sweet fruit like apricot and such in my kebab plate really turned me off, but this is personal preference. I did appreciate the almond and pistachio inside! i will likely go elsewhere but it was worth a try read more

Take advantage of their lunch special on weekdays. I tried their eggplant spread topped with yogurt - with pita. Their gormeh sabzi was delicious and my favorite. Comes with beautifully cooked rice. Persian tea was good too. Reasonably priced delicious food. We went for their early bird dinner special and the service was ok, with mostly empty restaurant. Seems groups friendly. read more

Absolutely looooooved this place and it has beat out my former favorite halal/Mediterranean spot. We ordered a combo plate, expecting it to be fit for one person, and ordered beef stew with yellow peas. We were very very wrong about the portion for the combo plate - it was huge! It came with chicken, beef, ground beef skewers and a lot of delicious rice. We were also given warm pita on the side. It made for a delicious dinner! The chicken was delightfully charred, so juicy and flavorful. The beef was great, not chewy, and good. My favorite of the three was the ground beef one. If I were ever to come alone, I'd pick that one! read more

Was expecting a lot more. Got the Chicken Barg dinner as takeout, came as pictured with a sliver of roasted tomato, a mini whole wheat pita, ranch, and a small garden salad side. Food was fresh, but it was cold by the time it got to me. Also, was not happy to see that my dish was served with 1/4 of a tomato... is this supposed to be an attempt at an aesthetic garnish? This isn't traditional Persian hospitality, where you can usually expect a skewer or at least a few full pieces of onions and tomatoes and peppers along side the kabob and rice. Usually it's also customary to have a plate of herbs and radish served with a side of bread and butter as a complimentary start to the meal. Not sure how I feel about this place overall...wasn't bad but wasn't to die for. Ultimately indifferent toward it. Good in a pinch, and probably more worth it for the lunch/early dinner special. read more
