Always charming and attentive service. Fine selection of entrees (especially enjoy the Lamb Kebab and Grilled Shrimp) and nice appetizers such as Baba and Humas. A great neighborhood asset!

Persepolis has been in our neighborhood for years but we never got there. It's a spacious but intimate-feeling restaurant with very attentive, friendly service and excellent (and abundant!) food. Also a range of very good variations on the mojito! The eggplant appetizers and, of course, kebabs are excellent. Very nice decor.

Our dinner was very oily, to a disgusting extent. Although the food was flavorful, every spoonful of stew was visibly doused in oil. We tried to dab some off the surface but it was kind of futile.

We have walked by Persepolis many times but tonight we decided to dine there. Their restaurant is lovely and while there were many guests, the room felt quiet, which in a New York City restaurant is a unique experience. The service was impeccable and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with an appetizer of Babaganoush. To my surprise it was served warm with walnuts and it was very different yet absolutely delightful. The appetizer was served with warm homemade bread. We split two dishes, their chicken stew and their salmon kabobs. Each dish was served with delicious rice. Our meal was exquisite and While we would have loved to have dessert, we were too full. However before giving us our bill they served us a very delicious pistachio dessert that literally melted in our mouths!

The whole Persepolis experience is excellent and remarkably consistent. My husband and I have been coming here since the late 1990's and have always had a delicious meal, great service and memorable cocktails! Decor is lovely too!

The Dolmeh, Sambusa and Hummus appetizers were perfectly prepared; the Lemon Chicken with Rice & Cherries was wonderful; and the Sesame Tahini sauce was absolutely delicious!! !

This restaurant is excellent. And the food OMG. We were celebrating my mother’s birthday. We ordered appetizers like baba, eggs plant, sambusa, falafel. . Our entrees, Basa, lamb shops, lamb shank, chicken jubilee, Cornish hen etc. Really nice decoration. Definitely we’re coming back. Our waitress was Christian he was excellen, help us the food and with our wine selection, desserts plus pictures
Don’t be fooled by the atmosphere and pictures. I am Persian. Food was an absolute no go. Only way it was worth it is if the price was divided by 8 ($5 instead of $40). Only thing that was done right was atmosphere and maybe the waiters? But I think they walked around too much and didn’t let us have private conversations. My advice for the owner to be more successful (because I want good Persian food restaurants to go to): make the food better (not lukewarm when it gets to the table, like it was microwaved, so cook it when ordered not in advance and maybe higher a real Persian to cook); let the waiters sit back and let the customers know to raise a hand when they need something; and if you cannot do those things, then divided the price of everything by about 7 or 8. The atmosphere and look of the restaurant was really fancy and nice, but what’s that matter if the reason I came was to eat. Hope this helps, because y’all are disgracing the name Persepolis.

I so badly wanted to give this venue a good review given the lovely atmosphere. But the food just wasn’t to my liking. The acorn chicken and rice were very dry and didn’t taste Persian at all.

Service was great. The wait staff were attentive and food came out in a good time. The food was delicious and everything on the menu tasted great, the eggplant off the appetizers was incredible. Highly recommend
