Sofreh

The Best Persian Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"This Prospect Heights restaurant does Persian food with panache, turning out beautiful plates of smoky roasted eggplant, black sea bass in tamarind stew, and big platters of saffron rice that go with everything. The breezy, white-brick dining room is chic but comfortable, and their chef can usually be seen chatting with customers like they’re guests in her own home. We typically reserve Sofreh for special date nights, or a catch-up meal with friends visiting from out of town—just keep in mind it’s a popular spot, so make a reservation in advance. They also have a daytime bakery, Sofreh Cafe, one block away." - neha talreja
