    The quick and dirty review: Upscale feel, no lunch menu, perfect for small or large groups, and moderate prices for large portions! My friend and I had lunch here today at 11:15 AM. There were no customers yet so all attention by staff was catered to us. The service and hospitality were excellent. They served us complimentary bread and yogurt/chutney and informed us that a soup or salad came with the lunch entrees at no additional charge. The chicken kabob plate was amazing! So fresh with a ton of chicken and even more rice than you could possibly want. The server was well groomed in a company uniform, knowledgeable about the menu, made recommendations, refilled waters, offered drinks and dessert, and provided takeout boxes and bags and an itemized receipt. Highly recommended! Definitely would come back!

    Chicken Koobideh Kabob! Must have!
    Upper East Side Runner ..

    The food is consistently delicious, and the service team is genuinely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is always buzzing at night, creating a fun, lively atmosphere. There's a full bar, the prices are reasonable, and it's the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again.

    Delicious food and excellent service. The space is a little small and crowded but what place isn't in nyc? Regardless I'd definitely come back. We started with the hummus which was delicious, as was the yogurt and jalapeño/cilantro sauce that accompanied it as another dipper for pita. We split the beef kabob and it was excellent, and the best part was the rice. You can upgrade from white basmati to a specialty rice and we chose the one with sour cherries, pistachios, and almonds. It was my favorite part of the meal. We finished the night with the pistachio cake, which was also very tasty. We didn't have drinks, but between the appetizer, the shared kebab plate, and the dessert, it was $65 for my mom and I before tip. Honestly not bad as the kabob platter was so big we have leftover to take home. The servers were all super friendly. Our server Freddy was wonderful. We'll be back!

    such good healthy real food - i wish i found this place sooner!!! the portions are HUGE. could have eaten this for two full meals. my favorite thing was the eggplant appetizer dip (not babaganoush but i forgot the name). the bread is hot and they give you more if you run out. service was quick. nice big pour on the glass of wine for only $13! overall, i'm definitely coming back here. ambiance was clean, lots of tables

    Authentic Persian food in New York is like coming across a shooting star. Ravagh is such a treat! The portions are massive but when you taste the food you will want to eat everything on your plate. I ordered the Bronzini and Barg Dinner. The Barg was out of this world. A steak that is seasoned to Persian perfection. I will be back just for the Barg , The green rice and the Tahdig(burnt rice). The cocktails are a tad overpriced but its okay given how generous the portions are, and how tasty the food is. I left very full, happy and ready to return.

    Chicken Koobideh Kebob Dinner

    Came here around 6:30 on a Monday. There were quite a few people here but there was plenty of seating! Food came out quite quickly, and it was very flavorful! I got the chicken, it was well spiced and well cooked. I also tried some of the pork and it was nice and Smokey and tender. The service was great, we got a few water refills. Would definitely recommend!

    We went to Ravagh for brunch on a Sunday and this restaurant was busy! The decor is nice however the layout is really not ideal, it is basically 2 railroad long seating with tables and at the back the kitchen separates the sections. The kitchen was also completely open and smoke was pouring out due to their cooking style. We initially wanted a table in the 2nd room however the tables were so close together and we could not even push our baby stroller through. So we opted for the first room (the section when you walk in). It was also not really ideal either as our stroller kept getting in the walkway. While the other patrons were cordial and the staff was accommodating with our baby stroller, however I as a mom, did not feel comfortable in this situation. The food, on the other hand is absolutely delicious! I can see why there are regulars. While we have previously ordered from here, we've never been at the restaurant itself. We ordered koobideh, lamb chops, grilled chicken skewer and the branzino. It all came on huge plate full of rice and grilled veggies, such as onions, tomatoes, and zucchini. While I loved the veggies, it was hard to eat as a lot of them were burned. I had to remove the completely black tomato peel. I also loved that they gave us unlimited chutney and yogurt to pair with the meats. Overall, the food is excellent, rice is some of the best and the meats are deliciously grilled. However the layout and open kitchen is really not an ideal restaurant experience.

    Chicken Kebab with French Fries Lunch Special
    Sherry S.

    I met up with my sister for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. I've never had Persian food before so I was excited to try a new cuisine. The food was well prepared and delicious. I had the Chicken Kebab Lunch Special with French Fries. The special came with bread, different sauces and a side salad. Everything tasted very good and I definitely enjoyed my meal. I will definitely visit this restaurant again whenever I'm on the Upper East Side. The service was amazing and the restaurant was quiet. There weren't many people in there so it wasn't noisy. I enjoyed trying a new cuisine and I would recommend this place to anyone.

    Koobideh Kabob
    Josh R.

    This was my first time here. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I ordered the Koobideh Kabob (ground beef kabobs). The portions were generous, and the food had a ton of flavor! I can't wait to come back and give this place another try!!!

    Bronzini Lunch and Sultani Kebob Lunch
    Liudmila K.

    Great place with good food and nice atmosphere. Went here for lunch with my boyfriend. Portions are huge. So, for appetiser, we shared the Mediterranean Chopped Lunch Salad--fresh and flavorful. For the main dish, I had the Bronzini Lunch, and my boyfriend got the Sultani Kabob. Everything comes with fragrant rice and perfectly grilled vegetables. The fish was delicious, and the meat was tender and juicy. Even the complimentary bread and dips were great. Had some nice wine as well. Service was wonderful. Ravagh is a must-try!

    Loyal C.

    Ravagh is... just okay. The kabab was dense and underwhelming - definitely not one I'd remember fondly. The vibe is decent, but the AC was blasting so cold it made the experience uncomfortable. Overall, not very memorable.

    Lamb Chops Kebob Dinner
    Meryam A.

    We came here for dinner with a group, but make sure to plan for a reservation since there's not a lot of seating inside. The interior is cute and cozy, perfect for a feast! The service was quick, and they offered great suggestions. For appetizers, we had the hummus and kashk bademjan. Honestly, I regret not snapping a picture before we inhaled it--it was that good! I'm not even an eggplant fan, but this dish is a must-try. For the mains, we got the lamb chops and the combo platter loaded with meats. Trust me, skip the extra rice, even for a large group. While the lamb chops were decent (but I've had better as a Texan), the lamb, chicken, and beef kebabs were on another level. Each bite kept getting better--the marination must be straight from the gods! The platter also had steak strips that melted in your mouth. The only disappointment was the dill rice, which lacked flavor, but the meats totally stole the show. Will I be back? Absolutely, and I'm planning to fast that day so I can eat even more!

    Albaloo Polo Rice

    My favorite restaurant for Persian food - FYI, they also have locations in Long Island. Pros: + Friendly staff + 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

We got an outdoor patio table and I found it quite inconvenient for me to place my purse on the floor since the seats could not hang anything. The dips are where it's at here, so we got the Labneh ($13) and Smoked Artic Char ($14). Of course we had to get some bread to accompany the dips and got the Frena ($13) and Pita ($7). I really wish it came with more bread because this wasn't enough and it's quite pricey for the portion. The frena is definitely one of the best breads, which comes with whole garlic pieces on focaccia-like bread. The pita did get quite hard after awhile, so you need to eat this one fresh. We enjoyed both dips, but the labneh is a must in my book. We also got the Grilled Wings ($21) and Scallops à la Plancha ($30), which were both nicely grilled. The wings were full of spicies and come plentiful, but scallops are a smaller portion. We were pretty stuffed with all the food, but had to end it with the Tahini Softserve ($15). This is a popular item here as almost every table had it. It's creamy with nutty, tart, and sweet flavors. It's also quite the presentation with such a tall swirl topped with halva floss. It's a delicious spot with a fun atmosphere, but on the pricey side. The labneh and soft serve are a must here.

The staff was extremely warm, kind and welcoming and a special shoutout to Irem who was amazing, gave us some great recommendations and took care of us throughout. I went for the $39 prix fixe brunch which is honestly such a great deal and comes with quite a spread. I had the muhammara, hummus, shakshuka and dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my coffee too. We also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad, which is by far the best I have had ever. One of my friends was accidentally served the wrong order and they immediately replaced it with the right one and made her meal completely complimentary, which was such a nice gesture and something we really appreciated. We also loved that nobody was rushing us and we could just sit, chat and enjoy our brunch. Great food, beautiful ambiance, wonderful hospitality and even the restrooms were spotless and very well maintained. Overall such a positive experience and easily a 5/5 for me.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). 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.
