Sofreh

“Amazing food with a great balance between traditional flavors and creative aspects. We loved everything we ordered. The space was pretty crowded if you sit inside.”

“(Review from March 2026): It’s very, very good, no denying the care that went into all the dishes. I think the veggies and salads stood out more for me than the mains. I really enjoyed the tahini and date salad, the dressing is absolutely killer. The cocktails are pretty great too. The service was the one detraction. The waiter we started with was great but she went off shift and her replacement seemed to mostly forget about us. Overall i really enjoyed Sofreh and hope to go back for more of the menu!”

“Sofreh has a really nice and cozy vibe. The place looks beautiful and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered pomegranate beef ribeye, eggplant dip, and half chicken. Everything was tasty and well made. The ribeye was very flavorful, the eggplant dip was smooth, and the chicken was juicy. Overall, it’s a great spot for Persian food in New York.”

“Absolutely delicious food and its own mix on a variety of Persian cuisine. Service was great with thoughtful staff. Only note I would make is that we were 5people for a 6person reservation and they charged us 20$ ( yes I agreed to it when I made reso but this change is completely normal for dinner). I told them immediately when we arrived. This is despite the table really only being for 5 people to begin with. 5 stars for everything but management. I would give it 2 stars. The extra star is for decor music and design, last for service which was great. I would recommend the lamb shank and steak. Egg plant was delicious and a variety of very tasty drinks. I would recommend this spot, but for a second time visit for me, this far in BK and poor management where it took almost 90 mins for our meal to be served...I'm likely not to go back. Worth the trip but only once”

“Good food, awkward hospitality… we enjoyed the food and drinks, but the way the staff communicate and look at you, you feel like it wasn’t worth the price you are paying … We had Eggplant dip and Herb koofteh for starters and half of the chicken, pomegranate ribeye, saffron rice, and tahdig for main. Tahdig was not crispy, everything else was good… You have to ask for iced water on an 80-degree day, what you get is a cup with some ice and a spoon, and someone fills your cups with warm water once in a while… I don’t know what’s wrong with putting some ice in the jar and leaving it on the table”
