Honestly pretty disappointed after all the reviews I've seen on other websites. We had high hopes for Ravagh but unfortunately left pretty unimpressed. The rice was probably the worst quality rice I've had at a Persian restaurant. The lamb was chewy and rubbery and lacked seasoning/flavor. The shirazi salad was really the only thing that tastes fresh and had good flavor. The bread was solid, too. Our service was basic, not what I would have expected at a higher end restaurant in NYC. Took forever to get our water and drink orders. Our apps took about 40 minutes to come out and our food followed about 30 seconds after. Hopefully it was just an off night for them. read more

First time visiting New York and I was seriously craving good kabobs after a long day of exploring. We found this place and it ended up being such a gem! 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! read more

This is our go to place to order from for special work lunches. The food is always excellent. I highly recommend the shrimp kabob, chicken kabob, koobedeh kabob, bath kabob and the aloo cherry rice. We ordered these today along with hummus and grilled jalapeños. Would love to go there in person for a meal. Will for sure be ordering from here again read more

We been to ravagh a few times. It never disappoint. One of the best Persian restaurant in nyc. The koobideh comes in two skewer and rice. Great portion to share. We also had the fesenju. It was very authentic. The pita bread was amazing Soft fluffy and chewy. The ice cream texture was very authentic but could use a like more saffron. Great place. Definitely go for a visit. read more

Delicious from start to finish! A colleague recommended Ravagh for a team dinner in the Chelsea location and I am so grateful we came here. To drink, I ordered the Tehrani Mule; a take on the moscow with a house made ginger lime juice. 8/10; a tad watery. We decided to go family style with ordering and chose the mediterranean salad, kotlet, and falafel to start. The falafel was perfectly crisp with a slightly smoky outer crust that added really great texture and flavor. A bit dry tho -- Needed the hummus and Mezze Platter to dress it up a little. Salad was refreshing, crispy and a great palette cleanser across the table. The combo platter + mixed rice was fabulous. Chicken was tender and came right off the bone (something I'm new to but it was good!). It came with a side of tzatziki and persian zhoug (?) - a minty and herby chutney that just added another layer to the aromatics of the dish. Although the rice was great, it was a really large portion even for the group of 5. It would've been nice to have the option to split to a half portion of vegetables or different grain to balance quantity. Overall 8.9/10 - Definitely worth a visit with a group for business dinner or catching up on a friend's night out. The service is great, everyone is super attentive and you can really feel that the food with made with love. So glad I tried this place and I'll be back to give their dolmeh and dessert a taste! read more

I came here for dinner with one of my friends recently and had a great time. With two locations in the city, Ravagh serves phenomenal Persian food with amazing service. My friend and I got their dark meat chicken kabob with rice, and another portion with salad. Both portions were huge and the chicken was probably some of the juiciest I've ever had. Truly phenomenal, and I will have to come back to try more. read more

I was working late one evening and ordered the chicken shish kebab dinner through DoorDash and it arrived still hot which is always a plus. It was a large portion of protein and veggies. Everything was cooked well and charred just right. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could have probably saved some for another meal too, but I was starving. I look forward to dining in person! read more

Some of the better Persian food I've had in this country. We split an order of the fesenjan, the kashk bademjan, and the chicken koobideh kebab, which was more than enough good. The pita bread was great, and fesenjan was perfect, the kashk bademjan was scrumptious, and so was the chicken koobideh kebab. Couldn't ask for anything more, huge fan of the place! We got a table for two quite easily, but it was packed and it felt like we got lucky getting a table so quickly. Will for sure be back! read more

We came here on a blustery Friday evening, no reservation just walked in and were seated promptly. Service was efficient and they brought us our waters and menus quickly. We ordered the eggplant dip and 2 beef koobideh koftas, our server kindly guiding us along and answering any questions. It was brightly lit inside and well heated, despite sitting next to the door. The food came out quickly and was very delicious! The dip was phenomenal and the green and red sauces paired nicely with the food. The koobideh was some of the best I've had and the rice with barberries remain phenomenal. A well priced and delicious meal! Will definitely be back. read more

Ravagh Persian Grill is a pretty crowded and well-lit restaurant. Unfortunately we were seated right by the door and the winter breeze in February made it less pleasant as the door opened and closed frequently, but it was still a positive experience overall. We ordered Babganoosh for an appetizer and Salmon Kabobs for entrees. The portions were huge and neither my friend and I could finish. We had the chocolate cake for dessert but it was mediocre--not chocolatey enough and the texture was off. read more

Great food, great ambiance and fairly quick service for peak dinner time. When you go, prioritize the stews with rice. The stew with pomegranate was absolutely amazing. The grill mix platter was good. Glad this is another halal meat option. The baklava was amazing and the saffron ice cream was good. Overall, solid Persian food that gives a decent amount of food and the price reflects being in Midtown. Would recommend! read more

Absolutely one of my favorite meals ever. (The pictures don't do it justice because this was after we had finished eating). The portions were HUGE (essentially everything is shareable) and all the food was flavorful and tender. It's been hard to find Persian food around the city but I'm so glad I found this place because it satisfied a craving I'd had for a while for Ghormeh Sabzi (beef chunks & beans in a parsley-scallion stew, also the national dish of Iran). The food exceeded all expectations. The workers were very friendly and the interior felt home-y. The cranberry rice was our least favorite but everything else was delicious. I would absolutely come back again and bring more friends and family. read more

Food was delicious, freshly made and tasty. My bademjoon was delectable. Shirazi salad was mixed with fresh dillweeds and mildly sour, making it pleasant to eat. Koobedeh and gheimeh were both on point. Complementary bread and dipping sauces were very good. The only thing we don't like was rice being dry and should have included butter. Overall service was friendly and attentive. The only complaint was they should have asked about the feedback of the food. We enjoyed our meal in Ravagh.

Ravagh used to be a very reliable Persian restaurant in NYC. Unfortunately, their food quality and seasoning was way off- everything was under seasoned, our salad had zero taste. And the koobideh my mom ordered was undercooked and not tasty. On a positive note, the service and wait staff were very friendly and accommodating. The best parts of the meal was the Persian ice cream which was delicious with plenty of pistachios. The ambiance of the restaurant was also nice. read more

Had a wonderful experience here sampling a variety of dishes and drinks with strong Persian influence. Started with the Tehran's Mule -- made with Beluga vodka, ginger sekanjabin, lime juice, and club soda, garnished with rosemary. Super refreshing, with a unique herbal kick and just the right amount of citrus. A great take on a classic. We shared several dishes: Torshi: Tangy, bold, and the perfect way to wake up the palate. Fesenjoon: Rich, deep, and comforting. A classic done really well. Koobideh: Tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Mirza Ghasemi: Smoky and garlicky--so good. Mediterranean Salad: A fresh, crisp complement to the richer dishes. The flavors across the board were authentic, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. A great spot for sharing plates and exploring Persian flavors with a twist. Would absolutely return! read more

My favorite restaurant for Persian food - FYI, they also have locations on the Long Island. Pros: + Friendly staff - we came maybe an hour before closing time. The staff took such good care of us that we did not feel rushed out. + Amazing bread and sauces - I really love both the yogurt based and the green one that they bring out to the table + Decor is absolutely stunning + Lamb kebabs are delicious - This is the one that I always have to get + Upgrades for the rice - My favorite is the Cherry one. Most of the kebabs come with basmati rice. However, you can spend $3 to upgrade to one of their flavored ones. Don't miss this chance! + HUGE Portions - I share everything when I come IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

Good place to visit. Came on Friday night, was served fast and well, was seated fast. Host was good. Bartender and waitress were good. I ordered the classic dish called koobideh beef. All payment forms accepted. The place was full of people. I calculated that there were 20 tables, plus they were offering seating at the bar. The place accommodates everyone. There were 3 birthdays, 1 was a kid's birthday, so the place is welcoming to everyone. The dish itself was good. 2 beef koobideh were served with 2 sorts of rice and 1/4 of an onion and half a tomato. Bread was given as an appetizer, and 2 sauces were provided: 1st, yogurt with cilantro, 2nd, green sauce with cilantro and oil. All together, the dish with taxes was $31. The new reality in prices is that the dish costs $27 plus. So I fully agree with that price. read more

Absolutely worth a visit! We went on Nowruz (Iranian or Persian New Year) and it was packed, a good sign for the quality of the food. We ended up having to wait for a table which was well worth it. The best advice I can give is go with a group and plan to share. The portions are large, so rather than one order each I'd recommend ordering a handful of dishes and eating family style. For a party of 42-3 mains should be plenty (especially if you get some sort of combo option). In addition to the mains, where Ravagh really shines is the appetizers, get a variety and enjoy! read more

We were visiting NYC and are so glad we stopped for dinner at Ravagh! Honestly one of the BEST Persian restaurants I've been too (and I've visited many being married to a Persian man). The food is authentic, fresh, tasty, and generous portions. Everything we got was delicious and I'd order them all again! They serve fresh bread as you sit down which is a perfect way to start your meal. My favorites were the kebabs, eggplant dip, and baklava. The decor is modern and clean. The space is tight so it's best for smaller groups (less than 6-8 people). The service was good and our server was accessible when needed. I would definitely return again when in town.

Spend your money elsewhere. I do not recommend this place. We came for a birthday dinner, paid for by my student son. The food was not authentic and only mediocre. Service was very slow, forcing us to rush our meal to make our event. I want to add the poor service by an older guy i assume he is the manager, deceptive behaviour: After my son mentioned my birthday, the manager said he would "take care of it." They then brought an unordered dessert which was a baklava, which later they charged my son for on the final bill about $20 This felt rude and dishonest. read more

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.

Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.

What an absolutely wonderful experience we had at Ravagh! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth that immediately set the tone for the entire evening. The atmosphere is cozy, elegant, and inviting -- exactly the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you're there for a quiet dinner or celebrating with friends. The quality of the food was outstanding across the board. I ordered the Sultani Kebab, which was perfectly grilled, beautifully seasoned, and incredibly tender -- every bite melted in my mouth. My friend had the Lamb Shank, and it was equally phenomenal: slow-cooked to perfection, falling off the bone, and bursting with rich, authentic Persian flavors. The saffron rice was fluffy and fragrant, the bread was fresh and warm, and even the appetizers and salads showed real care and attention to detail. We literally cleaned our plates -- not a grain of rice left behind! What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. Musa, the manager, is in a league of his own. Despite the restaurant being absolutely packed on the night we visited, he handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a genuine smile. He made sure we were seated quickly, checked in on us throughout the meal, and made every single guest feel like a VIP. Musa and his team are a powerhouse -- incredibly strong, well-coordinated, attentive, and passionate about what they do. You can tell they take real pride in their work, and that energy radiates throughout the entire restaurant. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions, the premium quality of the ingredients, and the top-tier service. It's rare to find a place that nails all three -- food, ambiance, and hospitality -- but Ravagh absolutely does. My friends and I left feeling completely satisfied, well-fed, and already planning our next visit. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine in a warm, welcoming setting with a team that truly cares, Ravagh is the place. A huge thank you to Musa and the entire staff for making our evening so memorable. We'll definitely be back -- and we'll be bringing more friends with us! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Ravagh Persion Grill last night, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with beautiful Middle Eastern decor that set the perfect tone for the meal to come. The service was exceptional--attentive but not overbearing, and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They took the time to explain each dish, offering recommendations based on our preferences, which made the whole experience feel personal and special. Now, onto the food--absolutely incredible! We started with a selection of mezze: creamy hummus, perfectly spiced baba ganoush, and crispy falafel that were bursting with flavor. The warm pita bread that accompanied them was fresh out of the oven, soft and pillowy. For the main course, I had the lamb kebabs, and they were cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. My companions ordered the chicken shawarma and the grilled sea bass, both of which were equally impressive. Every bite was packed with vibrant flavors, and the portions were generous. The side dishes were equally noteworthy. The tabbouleh was light and refreshing, and the rice pilaf was aromatic, with just the right amount of herbs and spices. To end the meal, we shared a platter of baklava that was the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch--an ideal finish to a memorable dinner. Overall, Ravagh Persian grill offers an outstanding dining experience with top-notch food, impeccable service, and a cozy, inviting ambiance. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine! read more

During a recent family trip to New York, we had the pleasure of dining at Ravagh Persian Grill. Having tried Persian cuisine across the USA, I can confidently say that Ravagh Persian Grill serves the best Persian food I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the exceptional customer service stood out. The staff were incredibly attentive, constantly walking around to check if our water glasses were full and if we needed anything else. This level of attention made us feel truly valued and taken care of. The portions at Ravagh are impressively generous, possibly the biggest I've seen at any Persian restaurant. It's perfect for sharing or for those with a hearty appetite. The food itself was outstanding. The barg was tender and flavorful, a true highlight of the meal. And the baklava--simply amazing, with the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. A special mention must go to the manager, Musa, whose warmth and hospitality added to the overall excellent dining experience. We enjoyed our dinner so much on the first night that we decided to return the next day. Both visits exceeded our expectations. If you're in New York and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Ravagh Persian Grill is a must-visit. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere--this restaurant has it all. read more

I recently stopped by Ravagh Persian Grill for a quick lunch, and I have to say, I was genuinely impressed. From the moment I walked in, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere set the tone for what turned out to be a delightful dining experience. Their lunch specials are not only reasonably priced but also come with generous portions that leave you feeling satisfied. I decided to try the Chicken Barg, and it was nothing short of amazing. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of char to enhance the flavors. It was served alongside fragrant basmati rice, which was light, fluffy, and had a wonderful aroma that complemented the dish beautifully. The service was another highlight of my visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, making sure my meal was served promptly without any compromise on quality. It's the kind of place that makes you feel welcome, whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch or planning a more elaborate dinner. Ravagh Persian Grill has definitely earned a spot on my list of go-to lunch spots. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu, but the Chicken Barg alone is worth the trip. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious, satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Ravagh! The food was absolutely delicious - rich flavors, generous portions, and everything was beautifully presented. But what really made my visit unforgettable was the amazing hospitality, especially from the manager, Moises Marin. Moises went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. He was incredibly kind and accommodating, checking in to make sure everything was perfect. To top it off, he treated me to a complimentary Persian ice cream and tea - such a thoughtful and generous gesture that really made my night. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and Moises truly sets the bar high. If you're looking for great food and even better service, Ravagh is the place to go.

Damn, I have to do this but need to downgrade. Ordered delivery through Seamless. Took 10 minutes for Ravagh to send the confirmation and another hour to deliver, so much for the promised 25-40 minutes range. They changed the rice they serve with the main course, instead of that nice rice/thin noodles that I raved about last time, it was some mash-up of rice with overcooked vegetables I could not identify and I ended up eating only 5% of it. The grilled shrimp was good, kind of hard to screw that up. The babaganoush was more mayo than eggplant. I guess, I would have to go back to other places that serve the same type of food, it was just a huge disappointment today. read more

Came to eat here for dinner with my family. We are Persian and can say that this is NOT Persian food. We all ordered koobideh for dinner (a classic Persian kabob) and our kabob was spicy, with obvious pieces of some type of green pepper mixed into the ground beef. No Persian food is spicy, especially not koobideh. Our rice was cold and obviously old (as it was sticking together). We also ordered doogh with our meal which was served warm to us. We had to ask for extra ice just to cool it down. Salad Shirazi is made using parsley, whereas real salad shirazi is made with mint. Would not recommend this place to anyone, especially not someone looking for REAL Persian food. read more

I tried this place few times and it is very inconsistent. Few times the food was excellent and few times the food was horrible. However, what is even worse the staff. I called for delivery and the person who answered couldn't even speak English. I had to repeat my address 10 times she argued with me I am giving her incorrect address but I believe I can still remember where I live. At the end she said I am taking too much of her time. I am not the person who writes the reviews I work in the same business and I understand it can be a difficult to deal with some customers. However, it is still called hospitality businesses and this kind of rude behavior is unacceptable. read more

I cannot begin to stress how very RUDE and OBNOXIOUS the gentleman is who takes the calls for this restaurant. While most restaurants are accommodating and grateful for business there is one man here who has not learned what customer service is. Each other time that we have ordered from Ravagh there is a pleasant woman answering the calls. The food is good which is why I attempted to order from here but you are much better off going in to the restaurant as opposed to dealing with the lack of customer service from the man taking your order. If you want a pleasant experience - ask for Lena - that's the only way you'll get what you ask for. read more

I had lunch at a restaurant and placed an order for two items to go. However, when I received my to-go bag, my order was missing. I called the restaurant to inquire about the missing items, but they told me to come back and pick it up. Unfortunately, I was quite far from the restaurant. When I asked for a refund as an alternative, they hung up on me. While I enjoyed the food, I was disappointed with the poor service. I did manage to obtain a full refund through my credit card, but I will not be ordering from this restaurant again. Such behavior is not reflective of good business practices in America. read more

Maybe things are just different in NY.

This would have been fine except there were other couples sitting at tables for 4. onw just got their food so they couldn't have been there for very long. They looked Persian.

The food overall was good, but it wasn't quite the typical Persian experience we were hoping for. Unfortunately, the dishes arrived cold, which made it less enjoyable. On top of that, our server seemed to be in a hurry to clear the table, so we felt rushed and couldn't really take our time to enjoy the meal. It could have been a much better experience if the food had been served warm and we'd had a bit more time before the plates were taken away. The flavors were nice, but the service and presentation definitely need improvement. read more

Even though I'm not a big fan of their Koobideh, I was drawn back twice during my visit to the city. The highlight, undoubtedly, was their Fesenjan stew, a masterpiece of flavor and texture that left a lasting impression. What's more, their offering of a choice between lentil soup and salad as a starter with each entrée was thoughtful. The lentil soup, in particular, was a standout, its rich taste earning my unequivocal praise.

The pita bowl was constantly refilled which was great. We got lamb shank stew which was good. Lamb fell right off the bone. We also tried the Chicken Sultani Kebab which had both Chicken Barg and Kobideh. The barg I thought was excellent wasn't the biggest fan of Kobideh. Reasonably priced for what you get. Overall a good experience read more
