We were drawn in by the ambiance and had high hopes for this place, but were sad to see that it didn't live up to any of them. I ordered the lamb shank, which was literally just one very small "shank" (the size of a chicken leg) in a fairly flavorless broth. Half of the shank was inedible because it was fat. My husband ordered the Ghormeh Sabzi, which was advertised as a beef dish. It had perhaps 3 bite-size cubes of beef, so I suppose the description was technically correct, however for $20, this is a total ripoff. His dish was Both of our dishes came with giant mounds of rice, which I suppose was intended to be the most substantial part of the meal. We have nothing against small portions if they're incredibly tasty and well executed, but these were just incredibly disappointing. We left hungry and cooked at home. It looks like others have had better experiences, so maybe we just ordered the wrong things. Will give it at least 6 months to work the kinks out and perhaps try again. read more

I've been wanting to try Seven Valleys for so long and am so glad I finally did! I got the chicken kabob lunch special to-go and it was delicious. Can't wait to come back for a sit-down dinner. read more

So good . I shall return . This city needed a place like this . Shout out to the owners for bringing a vibe like this to the neighborhood .

Obsessed with their chicken skewers. Obsessed. Perfectly flavored and moist. Delicious.

Went there this past Saturday and the food was Absolutely terrible. I was missing Persian food so bad that I ordered 6-7 dishes to try everything I can and even take left-overs home, but I was extremely disappointed! Great people. But terrible food. The ghorme sabzi felt like it was straight out of a can, tasteless, cold and over beaned. Tahdig instead of crispy it was completely soggy rice. Gheyme was tasted like it was canned left-overs from 2 weeks ago. Got the soltani kabob, the steak portion which normall is filet mignon at every other Persian restaurant, was hanger steak here (and it was at the same price as everywhere else). So it was very chewey and not the same at all. The koobideh tasted looked like it was an after thought. Very disappointed especially since I brought my Non-Persian girlfriend to show her how good Persian food is! read more

Staff was attentive, knowledgeable and so friendly! Their music selection created a perfect modern relaxed vibe, perfect for date night. Food was remarkable and flavorful. Highly recommend the special cherry rice and the eggplant appetizer! Price was very reasonable and it was BYOB with no corking fees. Thanks for the great time Seven Valleys! read more

Seven Valleys - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Very good food. Fair service. Fair price. Very small restaurant. This place is new and I gave it a try recently. The food itself was very good so that's the most important part. Only negative is that the restaurant is very small and most likely will require you to wait for walk ins. So just call ahead, not sure if they do take reservations however. Definitely worth a try! read more

1st visit last week. Small space, few tables out front were cute. Had one of the stews. Good stuff. I waitress friendly. Not big portions, a little pricy. But, would go back again. read more

I'm glad Hobokens diversity of restaurants is improving. But the quantity provided for the price is unreasonable, especially for the mundane quality and ingredients. I hope they make improvements. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Hoboken. The cuisine is not traditional Mediterranean. The twist is just right. All dishes are both healthy and delicious! Their speciality rice is a must try! read more

Very cute place. Loved the design of it. Only concern was that there weren't many entree options. Other than that, I would def recommend if you want to go to a BYOB. read more

We had a delicious dinner here, and I will definitely return. The vegetarian options were excellent-- fessenjan with tofu was amazing, especially with the sour cherry rice. Everyone who worked there was gracious and welcoming, and told us all about what we were eating. And beautiful decor, too! read more

Wonderful little place - very cheerful decor and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Having never had Persian food before, we took our chances with Chicken Sultani and the Shrimp dishes. Chicken Sultani was just awesome, the pieces were very succulent and the meat was cooked just right. Never thought that plain rice could be so flavorful. The Shrimp was equally sumptuous. Would have loved to try desserts but we were totally stuffed by the time we finished our entrees. The place is BYOB. Definitely a place worth repeating read more

Authentic Persian food; freshly prepared. Excellent hospitality and service Gift to Hoboken! read more

Beautiful and intimate space serving delicious Persian food! I went on a Sunday night and it was a full house, waited about 15 minutes for a table for 2. The staff was very friendly and the service was pretty quick. We ordered the hummus, Mediterranean salad, chicken fesenjan (stew) with abaloo polo rice and sholezard (sweet rice pudding) - everything we had was really good. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Hoboken! read more

I thought the food and service was absolutely fantastic. This delicious, bring your own, Persian restaurant is a bright spot in uptown Hoboken. The ONLY downside which is why I gave it 4 stars is that there is VERY FEW seats. It's extremely cramped in the tiny space they have and so you're basically sitting on top of the neighboring table. It's almost impossible to get a table on a weekend because there's only like 5 in the whole place. BUT totally worth it if you can get in. The food is absolutely yummy! read more

Beautiful ambiance. Good home cooked Persian meal. And best of all ... Delicious baklava!!! Insider tip... get the tofu stew!! It's to die for ! read more

Just amazing! Had the Veggie Gormeh Sabzi, tasted almost just like my mamani's! The baklava is no joke as well, it was wonderful.

I ordered delivery from here and ordered a few items - Everything was delivered promptly and with food still piping hot! I have quite a few Iranian friends ranging different generations and have had home cooked food - all of the dishes here was fresh and resembled home cooked food I have had. I loved all the rice dishes! The Tahdig was not as crunchy as I would've liked but that may have been due to it being delivered. I tried the gormeh sabze and steak/koobideh kabob both excellent! Will def dine in!! read more

Fantastic food. First time I ordered take out from here. Food came fresh and hot. I went with the beef stew w yellow peas. Beautiful food. Beef was very tender and their basmati rice was very flavorful. This place knows food. Stupid Americans only know hamburgers and hot dogs. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. The atmosphere is fabulous and the food is all so delicious. I've dined in and had takeout, both were great. Can't recommend enough to try this place! read more

Best fesenjoon. I loved it so much. Sour cherry rice was also delicious. Love love love this place and can't wait to come back

Highly recommend! We did the kabob medley for two and it was fabulous. It's a great way to try a few of their kabobs. The seasoning was perfect and each cut of meat was excellently cooked- tender! It's a cozy setting but even surrounded by others we had no problem hearing or conversing. Service was great- we never had to ask for water or for wine refills. It's BYOB, and they kept our white chilled. We saw Seven Valleys featured in the NJ monthly magazine and we wanted to try something new. It did not disappoint! read more

This place is amazing. I love Persian cuisine and have had a ton of it. I have to say this is the real deal. The food was delicious. All the stews were great, the kabobs were super tender and flavorful, the desserts were fabulous. The owner is nice as can be. I can't wait to come back. It was really THAT good. read more

Always fresh. Always yummy. Love this place! I've gotten their salads, chicken, shrimp, ground beef kabob, and baklava and all are delicious read more

I've had dinner here and we were blown away by quality of the kebab that we came back to order catering for a family party. The eggplant appetizer was delicious and the beef, koobideh and chicken kebabs were tender and flavorful. Lamb shank and rice were also delicious. Beet-flavored yogurt with fresh baked bread was a really nice way to start the meal. The owner and staff were courteous and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed the experience. We are thrilled to finally have a Persian restaurant in Hoboken and highly recommend. The food was so delicious that my parents even compared it to the kebabs they had decades ago in Kabul. This is a great restaurant and we hope it sticks around for years to come! read more

We went here on a Saturday night. The place was packed, they're probably about 10 tables or so in the dining room. They do not take reservations so we went and put our name on the list and then stepped out for a cup of coffee at Bwe. They called us when our table is ready we walked a few storefronts down back to the restaurant. The waitress came over and took orders. The food was absolutely to die for the rice, the chicken, in the meat everything was cooked wonderfully. Appetizers, entrées, And dessert we're all done perfectly. You can see there is a tension to detail on the quality of the food. The kebab a beef was season so wonderfully. The chicken was moist and flavorful, the steak it was so tender and juicy every little bit of it was eaten. Honestly, if this was closer to home I would you take out from here often. If you're in the mood for something different outside of the normal Friday night dinners stop here grab some takeout and try it out I guarantee you it will not disappoint. I highly recommend giving this place a shot next time you're in Hoboken. read more

See all

Very good food and excellent service. I had the lunch special chicken kabab and crispy rice. The waiter and the owner where attentive and charming. BYOW (bring your won wine) was the perfect detail to this charming restaurant. A must go for a casual relaxing time. Food was delicious and well prepared. Waiter was attentive. A great choice for an afternoon or evening dinning in Hoboken. Better than NYC for sure. Will come back for sure. read more

We were looking for restaurants Sunday morning on a whim and found that this one didn't have a wait. There wasnt much of a rush so they got us seated relatively quickly. The waiter was alarmingly tall but very polite and ready to help. We heard the beet yogurt was fantastic and when we asked for it he made sure to accommodate us. Will definitely come again read more

I ducked in here as a spur of the moment visit and I just had the chicken kebab and the cherry rice dish. It was fantastic, seriously the chicken was probably the best tasting chicken that I have ever had. It was freaky perfect, moist and well seasoned with what I don't know but it was great. The decor and ambiance are lovely too. read more

Had an early dinner here and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken kebab and salad were delicious... will definitely return. The service was good as well. read more

I tried some Persian restaurants in New York but I can say that Seven valleys has delicious foods like Albaloo polo with fesenja , Gormeh sabzi and kabobs that I can't find in the other restaurants. You can see beautiful Persian elements while you eat your food. read more

The food here is amazing. Get every rice dish they have and the chicken kebabs are to die for... the issue I have is the portion sizes. The price is high given the small portions... Easily 5 stars if they increase portions. read more

So thrilled to find a persian restaurant in the area. Though the restaurant is located on the ever-bustling Washington street, it's easy to miss it owing to its location right behind a bus stop. Some more advertising should really help. Ordered the chicken fesenjan and koobideh.The kababs were mediocre. And though the chicken in the fesenjan was tenderly cooked and delicious, the stew itself was more on the tart side than usually expected. Persian food is known for its subtle yet impactful flavor. So let's assume that the flavor of the stew is modified in order to accommodate broader taste ranges. Staff is courteous, decor is charming. Highly recommend the sholeh zard. read more

Omg SO GOOD. it's a very cute small place with a very well priced menu. Went for valentines dinner and they had flowers and candles. Very romantic. The yogurt dip and bread was amazing. I had the filet beef, shrimp, and chicken. All were delicious. I loved the tomato cucumber salad. Food was not greasy at all, so after you don't have that "I feel like cr*p" feeling after eating out. Had the love cake and rose water ice cream for dessert. It was very different, but still amazing. Only downside is that the tables were so close together so it was uncomfortable to get up to use the bathroom. But the food and service was so good didn't even mind! read more

Seven Valleys is an excellent addition to the restaurant choices in Uptown Hoboken. I've been there at least five times over the past year and have never had a bad meal! Their dishes are perfect for sharing. Even though are about 20 seats, I've eaten there with groups of 4 and 5 and never had to wait. Though, we probably arrived at the right time. read more

They serve actual Persian food, with high quality and fresh material. We tried kashkebademjan, tahdig, and bakhtiari. They were better than all Persian restaurants I had tried in NY/NJ area. read more

Had a guest from out of the country and suggested this restaurant. We went there at 7:30 and put our name there. The hostess said she would give us a call. However, I did not get any calls so went back and asked again around 8 pm. The hostess showed me a table and said that the table will be ours when people sitting there leave in 15 minutes. When people on the table left she sat another group there. It was cold outside so we went back to the car and waited till 9 pm. No calls after all and we left ... That was my Saturday night ... read more

Went there on a date last night. Tables where extremely close together so we could barely hear each other. Basically the whole restaurant was yelling because it's such a small space. First we got bread and a really good pink dip. The bread was amazing. Our favorite part of the meal was the bread. Then we got the grape leaf appetizer. It was completely flavorless. We both got the stew with button mushrooms. The meal was basically just beans mushrooms and rice. The whole thing had no flavor. It was so bland I couldn't eat it anymore. For an all vegetarian meal we paid 50 dollars for two people to get beans rice and mushrooms that had no flavor. We were really disappointed in thus place. I was hoping it would be good but no success. read more

Had a great meal tonight. We had a party of 6 , 3 had kebobs, 3 had different entrees, all 6 of us were happy campers. We had Dolmeh and Ashe for appetizers , both were tasty, I ordered Shirin Polo, which is a dish typically served at celebrations, it is really tedious to prepare and often shortcuts are taken which compromise the dish, not here. It was a symphony of flavor, every component was carefully prepped and in the perfect proportion so the dish just sings. The kebabs were flavorful and tender, we had chicken, ground beef and the hanger steak all were flavorful And juicy. Desert was another great experience. Saffron and rosewater ice cream, Persian rice pudding, and a cake I was not familiar with but very good. I stopped going out for Persian food ( except kebobs) as it is always a disappointment, Seven Valleys changed that, We are 90 mins away but we will be back soon. Go you won't be disappointed read more
