Fantastic food. Perfectly cooked chicken, seasoned and flavorful. LOVE the cherry rice, adding sweetness to the savory dish. The personal hummus is incredible, as is the complementary toasted pita. Mix the yogurt sauce and the green spicy sauce for an insane flavor combo! Everything was great, the restaurant is clean and quaint, and the service is top-notch. We love the staff and they always remember us even when we are away for months. If you're in the area or passing through, EAT HERE! read more

Food was okay, but the place is NOT clean or well-maintained. The inside of the front door, for example, was filthy; bathroom fixtures were loose, and a lipstick-stained, turned-down napkin was on one of the small plates when we sat down, which was really gross. I will never go back there. read more

Wanted to try some new, found this place in Yelp. So decided to give it a go. Walked in and was seated right away by a friendly waiter. Ordered the green rice with shank, the lamb chops with white rice and a grilled tomato. The shank so cooked to perfection soft and falling off the bone. The gravy from the shank paired will with the green rice. The lamb chops was great, but OH EM GEE who would've thought white rice would've been so tasty?! Everything was delicious. The place looks small from the outside but isn't. It's a cash only or zelle restaurant. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

I really enjoyed their cornished hen and with shireen palau in the poultry specials section. Pieces had a nice char without tasting over burnt and the bones were very manageable. Pieces were tender and well marinated. The rice was bursting with flavor, especially the orange peel which brightened the whole dish. They also brough house bread with the cilantro chili chutney and white sauce which also paired well with the grilled chicken. Servings were generous and easily became two meals for me. A quick norte, this spot is cash only! We didn't have enough so we ended up using Zelle! read more

I recently ordered catering for a bereaved family member, I ordered for 20 people. The receiver was very happy with the food, they included appetizers bread and salad. I always received the best service and food and I'm happy to order from them. Still waiting for the private room to be updated but love this restaurant overall! Highly recommend. Don't forget to try the pistachio ice cream, delicious. read more

Found this Persian and Mediterranean restaurant via a search of restaurants in Williston Park. I recall driving around and seeing so many places I haven't yet tried. Another hood worth exploring given I've found a few gems previously. I was here for lunch with a friend who loves Persian food as much as I do. She was the perfect dining buddy since we love lamb and Cornish Hen. We tried a little of everything - over ordered as planned (so we could take it to go) and to try more stuff on the menu. The wait staff was friendly and thought we were ordering for four! We said we just like to eat! I must say, the lunch specials were all great value priced meals (you gotta see the menu, I took a photo) but we couldn't resist the rest of the offerings instead. For appetizers: - The Combination plate of three "starters", our choices were the hummus (real smooth), baba ganoush (it was whipped nicely but I would have wanted more chunks of eggplant, this one was creamy not chunky) and the sambooseh (really good - these crispy turnovers are filled with vegetables and chickpeas). We enjoyed this platter with a warm basket of pita and yogurt sauce. There was a mint chutney served as well on the side. My friend liked it, I only sampled a little given I am a sucker for the yogurt sauce. - Tabuli salad, very light and refreshing. Had a hint of lemon, lots of tomatoes and parsley. There was only a little bulgar wheat, but it was nicely balanced with the red onions. Loved this. Since we were about to eat so much meat, this was a much needed "greens" to keep our plates balanced as well. Entrees - there was only one that stood out amongst the others, fair pricing, it was meant to be shared, good for 3-4 people indeed. We ordered the Combination plate. It had everything we wanted... barg, kobideh and joujeh. Served with a giant portion of basmati Rice (sumac provided on the side) and beautifully grilled tomatoes. This was really good. Met our expectations and only comment here, the Cornish Hen looked more like mini chicken pieces but still grilled nicely. A few sides were a little too charred but the meat was tender and juicy, that was most important. (We didn't finish obviously, saved half to go so we could save room for dessert)! Dessert time: - Persian Tea for her (smelled lovely), Turkish Coffee for me (looked like an espresso cup, it was delicious. My only comment here, at the bottom of the cup, I got my last sip with some ground bits. Not sure why but that was not a good last taste). - Faludeh, this was really pleasant. The creamy rice noodles were served in a dessert cup with Rose water. It was light and not over powering. The lemon syrup was on the side so you could adjust to your taste. And cherry syrup on the side as well...too bad no fresh cherries. That would have made the difference for the extra half star. - Zoolbia and Bamieh, that's what was on the menu but I think we just got the Zoolbia... It was fried dough dipped in honey and served with whipped cream. Not quite as pictured. But it was definitely sweet. And definitely freshly made. I was in sweetness overload. LOL. Overall, a lovely lunch. A solid spot for great food. Totally would recommend. Again, certain things could have been better so I can't give it a five star rating. But nevermind that, just enjoy the food and company you're with. read more

Ambiance is nice & calming. Cafe style dining with soft piano music playing in the background. The lunch menu is very reasonable & the food is very fresh & well prepared. The complimentary pita, chutney & yogurt sauce is delicious. The waiter is quite polite & attentive. The lunch specials start a 17.99 and a conderable amount of food is served. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I've only ever ordered takeout from here for lunch, but I highly recommend dining in, which I'll be doing with a friend soon. I always get the salmon lunch--it's reasonably priced, comes with a generous portion, and the salmon is incredibly moist. The basmati rice is perfectly cooked, and for my side, I always go with the eggplant. I'm excited to eat in and explore their other protein options. Plus, the veggie empanadas are absolutely delicious! read more

A lovely gem in the new Hyde park area! I ordered the salmon kebab. It was extremely deliciously. The yogurt sauce was a great addition to the meal. I kept pouring the yogurt on the rice. The Persian tea is soothing to the tummy. I ordered it twice. The Persian ice cream is a must try! It had a slight rose water taste to it. The baklava is also a must try! Soft mini squares with a delicious amount of honey, you can taste. read more

Unless this place has separate dishes they are NOT kosher. They serve meat dishes and have several items with yogurt and/or cheese.

There's only street parking but it's so worth it parking elsewhere because the food is amazing! My personal favorites are the koobideh kebab (ground beef) and shish kebab (boneless chicken breast). The combination platter is enough to feed 4 people. The rice has a good flavor (not bland). The chicken and koobideh are very juicy and very flavorful! The lamb & barg are flavorful but a little tough. The pita breads are served hot and fresh with the white sauce. Oh yeah, it's also cash only so be prepared to bring cash. read more

The food and service were great. Their food was healthy and not too heavy. The ambiance was nice with a few families in there with us. I want to try more things on their menu! read more

This food was absolutely amazing. It tastes like authentic Persian food. I really enjoyed the lamb and saffron rice.

So my daughter asked me order the food since she really like this restaurant, she wasn't eating well from few days because she was little sick so I decided to order so she can eat and feel better. I place an order well over $130 and after 15 minutes I realized that last time we ordered from the restaurant they send in very little sauce and rice, I went over the google and asked them to can you please add the extra sauce. After 5 minutes I got notified that my order is cancelled by restaurant. I don't understand that what kind of power trip the person was on but it's not ok at all. Reached out to restaurant again with no response. Looks like we are not going again! read more

It's a great value and comfort restaurant that my family and I love to frequent. We really like their kebab barg (filet mignon steak cuts). If you do the combination platter, you can try three different types of kebab (tradition, barg, and chicken aka joojeh). We have been coming since it opened and we will always support the owner who is very generous and kind. read more

This place was absolutely fantastic and I cannot wait to go back. The food we had was exactly what I wanted, and there were so many interesting dishes to choose from on the menu. I had a delicious Israeli salad and split one of the chicken kebabs with my friend. It was ground chicken, which was perfectly cooked with the right amount of spices and very tasty rice to go along with it. We also had some baba ghanoush, which was flavorful and fresh, and we were delighted that they put free pita on our table when we sat down along with two delicious sauces. The prices were very fair for the amount of food we bought and we had plenty of leftovers. The food came out extremely fast and tasted fresh and delicious as everyone in our group loved their meals. There aren't too many places around like this restaurant so it's worth driving to taste the wonderful variety of Middle Eastern cuisine. They serve all the Middle Eastern classic dishes, but they also have some more unusual dishes, which makes the menu and options very exciting. The only downside is parking is a bit difficult for this restaurant, but I did find a spot on a side street which was a very quick walk. The staff was attentive and friendly and we left there being 100% satisfied. read more

Good food and family friendly. Good to dine out with big family. A kids friendly place and easy to find parking .

My family has loved this place for years! Inside for dine-in or take-out is cash only, so I am so happy that there is an online ordering option that accepts credit card. This restaurant is also generally busy with dinner orders over the phone so it is easier to order ahead on their website for me. The restaurant's website also currently has a promo code for a discount! The food here is always flavorful and the portions are great. We always have leftovers. We ordered the salmon dinner, white fish dinner and Kabab Barg (sliced steak) dinner. The two fish dinners each come with the dill rice (my preferred rice here) and the beef comes with basmati rice. (Can substitute rice for veggies.) Each dinner comes with pita bread and salad. I don't remember if their spicy green sauce comes standard so we always make sure to request it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants to go to! I travel here from Far Rockaway, so that says a lot. The food and service never disappoints and the menu has a wide selection, also this restaurant is BYOB :) . I should mention it is cash only so come prepared.

Please do yourself a favor and try all the different type of rice they offer! read more

Don't sleep on Miraj! Came here right at open and ordered the lunch special with the beef strips. Food was absolutely delicious - paired with the green and white sauces just took the meal to the next level. Finished with some delicious Baklava as well. Will absolutely be back! read more

I have got to say Persian food has a special place in my heart and taste palate. Hands down the best bang for your buck is either the Beef or Chicken Sultani. It's a skewer of the aforementioned meat alongside a Persian tenderloin better known as Barg kabab. The Sultani platter will most certainly leave you satiated! It's only right to conclude your meal with their homemade baklava, Persian ice cream, firni and Persian tea! read more

The food here is DELICIOUS! I've tried their lunch specials, chicken, lamb, beef, salmon. All are so tasty. And omg the rice!!! I love all the different rices, the cherry rice, the one with almonds and orange, and the regular rice. I love to put sumac on top, then the green and yogurt sauce take this meal over the top. The hummus and eggplant appetizers were so yummy. I can't wait to try more food from here. They had the best Persian food I've had to date!!! read more

Excellent food! The food is fresh, the service excellent with reasonable prices. My husband and I find each meal delicious!!

I went to Miraj because I wanted to enjoy a special lunch. The ash was ok. The lamb kebab was inedible & tasted like pure salt. I drank all my tea to get the saltiness out of my mouth. The waiter begged me not to leave. He convinced me to order the filet mignon beef strips. He asked me what temperature I wanted, so I asked for rare. It came by out looking like shoe leather. I asked the waiter if I could pay for the ash & leave. He asked me to take the rice & sides because he'd just throw them out. I felt bad for not liking his food. This crook charged me for a lunch I didn't eat. I've never given a bad review ever. read more

After having an outstanding dinner at Sami's Kebabs the other night (in Astoria), I was craving more lamb chops. I should have known better...it's really hard to beat the outstanding food at Sami's! I found the food at Miraj to be kinda bland and understated. I don't know why ethnic restaurants in Long Island feel the need to "dummy down" their food. I think there are plenty of people in Long Island who appreciate authentic ethnic spices and flavors! Here's what was for dinner tonight: ~ Baba Ganoush ($5.95) - not great but not bad; just ok ~ Lamb Chops ($19.95) - 5 pieces; just ok ~ Lamb Shanks ($18.95) - came with dill rice and 2 large lamb shanks ~ Beef & Chicken Kebab combo ($18.95) - chicken was barely seasoned and over cooked but beef was better All of the entrees came with HUGE portion of rice; rings of raw onions and a grilled tomato. Warm wheat pocket pita was served, along with their yogurt sauce. Thankfully, there was a jar of mince jalapeno sauce on the table. After we added loads and loads of white sauce and jalapeno sauce to our food, it tasted much better. Lastly, service was also "just ok"; not overly welcoming nor friendly but not totally bad either. So all in all, our experience and the food was "just ok". Not sure that I would return. Note: Cash Only! read more

I've been going to Miraj for years and the food is still excellent. While the decor is dated and the service is decidedly mom and pop, this is not what you go to Miraj for. This hidden gem offers terrific food at an incredible value. The menu is authentic and, honestly, there aren't that many authentic Persian places left. The kebabs were perfectly grilled to juicy, crip on the edges, perfection, and the saffron-infused rice was a fragrant delight. I am personally a big fan of their stews. My 9 year old picky eater child is willing to eat the salmon there. That is saying a lot about their quality and preparation. Try asking for some tahdig for an authentic experience. The decor is simple but this is part of the charm. My family and I come here to relax and have authentic, consistently excellent food. I don't come here to order bottle service and a tomahawk ribeye and taking pictures of every dish. The place is cash only but what also sets this place apart is its affordability. You get top-notch Persian cuisine without breaking the bank. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most memorable dining experiences come from unassuming places. Miraj is a hidden gem and a culinary treasure worth discovering. read more

excellent food. great people. Sour Cherry Rice was awesome. catered a baby shower and everyone loved the food.

The food here is amazing. Not many afghan places have authentic afghan food like this place does. Everything has flavor from the rice to the chicken to the lamb kabob. They charge a $3 extra fee if you want to substitute kabili palow instead of regular which is worth it. They also bring white sauce to your table which is amazing I love that. One con would be that they don't take credit card. They claim they have a side on the outside but who's really looking at a small sign. So many side you have cash when you go here ! read more
