My wife and I shared a lunch special and an additional order of tabouleh salad. Both tasted delicious. This was a very pleasant surprise as my wife and I wandered Manhattan’s east side. The restaurant offers plenty of options and we enjoyed our lunch very much.

I went for lunch and have a lunch special and it was so good. There are so many selections here. I just could barely decide. If you get the lunch special. He let me get the Ghormeh Sabzi even though it’s not on the menu selections for the lunch special. Lunch isn’t really busy, so you’ll get your food really quickly and you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Went for solo dining. Food was amazing, very flavorful and tasty. I had an Eggplant Mirza and beef kebab. Portions for the main dishes are quite decent. Service was very good and fast as well. Everyone starting from the manager to waiters very very friendly and nice. I will definitely come again to try other items from their menu. Check for appetizer and main dish was nearly $50 including tax and tips.

Chicken was tender! Ghormeh sabzi smells so good! Mirza eggplant was not exactly the traditional Persian Mirza, it was delicious tho! They offered us a free rose water ice cream that was incredible

Persian food is a rare treat to come by, even in a place like NYC. Persepolis has mastered classic dishes like Shirazi salad and fesenjan (shredded chicken with pomegranates and crushed walnuts) and offers great lunch and drink specials, with ample customization options m. If you love florals, I’d recommend a Persian martini – brought to life by rose water and saffron. Service is warm and hospitable!

Had an excellent meal. Very attentive service and the food was amazing. Try the cotton candy for something different.

Authentic Persian food! Great selection of Persian appetizers, entrees and deserts with a cool drinking menu. Loved their Gheimeh and Faloodeh (picture) was tasty too! Definitely recommend.

I really like this place. It is a warm and comfortable restaurant with high ceilings and a feeling of openness.Most importantly, the food is delicious, fresh, and beautifully plated. They serve bread and tahini (upon request), and the portions are quite ample! The lentil soup is a must try, and the ground chicken dish has become a favorite of mine. They didn’t serve coffee the time I was there, which was a drawback for me. I opted for their tea instead, which happened to be a pleasant surprise. The place is charming, with little details such as brown sugar cubes, and salt and pepper mills that make this place endearing and a local go-to for me.
