I started off Ash Reshteh soup ($13) which is a traditional Persian noodle soup with greens, chickpeas and kidney beans, topped with kashk (a type of onion). I found that it had little taste except for the slivered onion on top. For my main course I had the lamb shank ($34), which was simmered with herbs and garlic, served with what they call green rice (pictured), which had a different and pleasing taste. I went to this restaurant after I found that this restaurant was listed on Google as having one of the best lamb shanks in the city, I agree, it was very flavorful.
I was absolutely thrilled to find Ravagh Persian Grill! As a big fan of Persian cuisine, having authentic dishes like kashke bademjoon and koobideh right in Manhattan was a delightful surprise. The quality of the food was superb – juicy koobideh, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken kebab was incredibly flavorful. If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Persian dining experience, Ravagh is a must-try!
Went to Ravagh for Iftar. Ali, the server was accommodating and bought dates and bread just before it was time to break the fast. He was fasting himself as-well. The food came right on time and we didn’t have to wait. The appetizers and entrees were absolutely delicious! The barg and koobideh kebab were perfectly grilled. The barg was juicy, tender and perfectly seasoned. The koobideh was incredibly flavorful and had a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Kebabs went well with saffron rice, green chutney, white sauce, grilled onions and tomatoes. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was excellent. Highly recommend trying their traditional kashk bademjan, kotlet and shirazi salad. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience!
There is a huge room for improvement, the kebab was overcooked and the rice quality was poor, The pickle and olive dish was not appealing (dumping couple of broken olives and some dry pickle in a dish).
This restaurant was highly recommended by some of the pickiest non-foodies I know. And it did not disappoint!
The food was delicious, fresh and full of flavours. I am a meat lover so having good beef quality and fresh is always top of mind when trying out new places. I can't emphasize it enough, the kebabs were tender and juicy to perfection!
And entrée sizes were enormous.
The restaurant is gorgeous as well! Definitely worth at least one visit, if not regularly.

Beautiful restaurant and probably the most delicious and hearty meal I’ve had in years. It tasted just like home, and I had that feeling Anton Ego had when he had the flashback in ‘Ratatouille’. I live all the way in Philly but I’ll be making more trips to NYC just to eat here!
Really good food. I love the lamb leg stew here. The baba ghanoush is phenomenal. It went so well with hummus and the fresh, warm bread here. It’s a definitely must have. The Turkish tea was tasty as well. If there were any complaint, it’s that food size is big. It seems that one portion would be good for two people.
