Chef Nasrin can’t remember life before cooking. For her, cooking is an expression of love. In her family’s kitchen in Tehran, she faithfully learned secret recipes and delicate skills from her grandmother and mother. In her restaurant those dishes and memories are transformed into a flavorful experience that transcend borders and time. Nasrin's kitchen menu is a celebration of traditional dishes from all over Iran.
The menu consists of classic stews including her signature Fesenjoon - an elegant combination of pomegranate molasses and crushed walnuts, as well as other beloved favorites like Ghormeh sabzi. Kabobs, vegetarian centric appetizers and savory side dishes also adorn the colorful menu.
Chef Nasrin and her authentic cooking has been featured in several renowned publications: including the New York Times, The New Yorker Magazine, Vogue Magazine, Eater. She has also created memorable catering events for Google, Twitter, HBO & NYC Public Library.

This was a unique Persian experience of family recipes that are spectacular enough for sophisticated New Yorkers. Grandmother’s chicken stewed in pomegranate with a side of strained yogurt was fantastic. The eggplant appetizer with crispy onions and garlic topped with seeds and mint oil was out of this world. There are fresh flowers on every table and the staff is attentive and gives very personal service. Nearby to Carnegie Hall it is a better value than some of the alternatives. Definitely recommend.

Food was good, not great. Some of the other Persian restaurants in NYC provide somewhat better food. Excellent service and very nice ambience and people.

Flavoring needs calibrating — like one of our dishes was an avalanche of dill. And it had sections that were overlooked. And the “signature”dish was overrich and overcooked. A good base that needs work.

Food was excellent. The restaurant needs investment - plastic table clothes do not look great, and the table are too small. Also would help to have a proper menu rather than a QR code - many of us cannot or will not look at the menu in a telephone. Still the dishes, especially the rice, the drinks, and the bread (oh, the bread... ) were really worth the experience. We will probably come back.

If you’ve never tried Persian/Iranian cuisine before this would be a great start. The waitstaff is great and very friendly/knowledgeable. Ask the server for recommendations and they’ll be glad to help
