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

We visited New York from California and didn't expect to find such incredible Persian food, but Ravagh 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! 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

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

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

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

I've frequented the Ravagh in Roslyn a lot but have never been to any of the other locations. After frequenting this location, it's nice to confirm that their food is great all around. My favorite dish will always be their lamb chops/lamb shank but you can't go wrong with anything here. If you haven't tried Ravagh yet, what are you waiting for :). 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

Never dined in; but I have ordered pick up and the food is INCREDIBLE and an absolute must try in NYC!

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

I'm stuck in the hospital and needed my order before visiting hours ended so my family could pick it up from the lobby for me. The restaurant went above and beyond to rush it and make sure we had our food. They even followed up to make sure it was delivered on time. It was delicious! I'm still dreaming about their hummus. 10/10 would recommend! 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

Came here with a group of friends to celebrate a belated Eid. The service, appetizers, and entrees were really well done and tasted fresh/seasoned accordingly. We ordered: Hummus Babaganoosh Labne Lamb Koobideh Kabob Koobideh Kabob Salmon Kabob Shrimp Kabob French Fries Ghourmeh Sabzi Khoresh Fesenjan Baklava Faloodeh Space can feel a bit cramped if you're coming with more than 2+ people but the ambience is very intimate and the quality of the food speaks for itself. Can be hard to find but it's around the corner of 7-Eleven! read more

The staff are friendly and koobideh kabob is good but I certainly don't recommend sultani with "barg kebob". I have tried it twice and both times very hard , chewy and burnt on corners. The inside is pretty but unfortunately no sound isolation and is super loud and irritating for someone who doesn't live in NY. read more

Delicious dinner! Easy to walk in on a weekend evening for 2ppl. The baba ghanoush was a great way to start the meal, and the barg (steak) kebab blew me away - so good! Portions were generous as well. The rice I could live without, but I was more focused on the beef - the star of the show.... 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 nothing special but the service was not good. During the time there we felt rushed out as bussers asked to take away unfinished plates and glasses of wine. Restaurant was full but there was nobody waiting to be seated. We couldn't have been there for more than 40 min. At the end though we were only 3 people we were automatically charged 20 percent gratuity. 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. What a great memory for our trip to NYC. read more

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

Excellent service , servers are nice and attentive. Portions are enough . Quality is above average. Barg here is thick and juicy most like shish kabab , Koobideh is fatty and oily , however , tasty and full of flavors. read more

The food was amazing. The place was full but service quite good. Very delicious lamb dishes. Great atmosphere.

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

Came on a Saturday without a reservation and was seated promptly. Hostess and staff were friendly. For appetizers we ordered Falafel and Labne, both were very good. For entrees we got the Lamb Chomps and a the Chicken Kebab. The meats were seasoned very well and served with a hefty serving of fluffy jasmine rice. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Will be certainly be back. 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. Thank you for a memorable and filling meal! read more

Been eyeing this restaurant for weeks because i love persian food and i pass it so often going to workout classes so about time i gave it a shot i have seen many people always looking happy eating here and my persian friend even said this is one of the best restaurants for persian food - so very vetted for me to give it a shot my friends and i ordered a ton of appetizers: the grape leaf with rice was delicious. the friend dumpling was stuffed with potatoes and other delicious flavors, both dips were excellent too - the hummus had the perfect consistency and the eggplant dip was juicy and savory with so much flavor. very solid! for entrees i got the lamb for myself and it was a lot of food (and rice) i could barely finish. it should have come with some sauces / hummus because it was a little dry / flavorless but otherwise it was pretty solid and cooked well. def wanna come back for the lamb shank and more food! read more
