Quick service, friendly staff. Fresh bread, dips were amazing.
Waygu kebobs were tender and cooked to the perfect temp.
Lamb ribs fell off the bone. Sweet and a subtle kick.
The half chicken was moist with crispy skin and saffron rice was the best side.

This is one of the best meals I've had in NY. Incredible food, cocktails, and quality. Service and atmosphere 10/10. Eyval is now deemed one of my top 5. We were wowed throughout the entire meal

some hits and some misses (mainly with spices used), but overall a very good meal. started with the date and cabbage salad, which i have no notes on, one of the best salads of my life. next was the broccolini with both breads on the side. the broccolini itself was very bitter, but loved the yogurt/chili oil on the side. both breads were outstanding, with the komaj bread being a bit sweeter and the barbari bread being a little more plain. i think i preferred the barbari bread, but honestly both are a must. eggplant was good and one of the better dishes here, but not so memorable. loved the sauce on it though. scallops were also a strong dish; the scallops themselves were one of the best i’ve had and i loved the aioli/sauce. the octopus kabob was the only thing i didn’t enjoy so much. the octopus itself was soft and tender, but i really didn’t enjoy the sauce/spices on it. ended the meal with the chocolate cardamom cake, which reminded me of a dessert i used to have as a child. would go back just for that! hate the location, but other than that, i can’t wait to go back to have some new/old things.

An absolute must! Such a tucked away gem. I Came in on a whim for dinner on my own, and was lucky enough to grab the only seat available at the bar. The host and manager were incredibly accommodating.
I started with the Broccolini Borani, which was absolutely fantastic. I had it with the Komaj bread, a pair I highly recommend. The citrus date and cabbage salad was also beyond unique. The dates are served warm, and the combination of ingredients makes for a start that beautifully combines what we think of as a salad, with everything we look for in a comfort food. Please Get this! I also had the grilled Ahi tuna. The eclectic use of mint, pomegranate, walnuts, and chili oil made this dish as beautiful as it was superb (be sure to get this too)
I opted for the octopus kebab as my entree, which was perfectly tender and served with a delicious pepper tahini and pickled cucumbers. It has a little kick to it, which I loved, and served as the perfect finish.
Don’t skip on dessert. The saffron Ice cream sandwich was everything I saw depicted online and more, but the couple next to me enjoyed the rose cake, and the reviews sounded incredible as well. So be sure to leave room for either one.
The service was above and beyond from start to finish. The bartenders were also incredibly welcoming and walked me through the menu and their recommendations step by step. On that note, definitely get the Saffron Martini!
The food was top notch! Everything I tried was perfect! We had the Mast Moosir, Kashk-o-Bademjoon, bread, lamb ribs and koobideh! If you’re in NY, this is a must try! Perfect presentation and taste of Persian food. The service was also amazing.
Definitely an elite Persian cuisine experience. Absolutely loved the saffron ice cream sandwich and the lamb ribs.

A Must-Visit Persian Gem in Brooklyn
We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Eyval twice in the past month, and each visit has been nothing short of extraordinary. This Persian eatery strikes the perfect balance between honoring traditional flavors and introducing innovative twists that make every dish unforgettable.
To start, we indulged in the Citrus Date & Cabbage Salad and Mast o Musir, both of which were absolutely divine. The salad, with its perfect harmony of tangy citrus and sweet dates, is a must-order appetizer—truly hands-down one of the best starters we’ve ever had.
For the entrées, the Kabob Koobideh stole the show with its juicy, perfectly seasoned meat paired with their incredible tomato butter and green pepper. The pepper, with its delightful mix of sweetness and spice (especially closer to the seeds), was a standout touch. We also tried the Striped Bass Kabob, served with a beautifully aromatic crab rice sabzi polo. At first, I was hesitant about the inclusion of crab meat in a traditionally authentic dish, but stepping out of my comfort zone paid off. It was phenomenal, and even my mom—visiting from Iran—couldn’t get enough of it.
The highlight for us, however, was the Lamb Rack Shishlik. Not only was it visually stunning, but its taste exceeded all expectations—tender, flavorful, and an absolute masterpiece.
What we deeply appreciate about Eyval is their bold approach to Persian cuisine. They respect the rich heritage of these dishes while daring to reimagine them with creative fusions that feel fresh and exciting. It’s a beautiful celebration of Persian flavors with a modern twist that leaves you inspired and eager to explore more.
The service was equally outstanding. Our server, Addison C., was not only attentive and kind but went above and beyond to make our experience special. Even when one entrée arrived a bit later than the rest, they proactively discounted half the price of that dish—a gesture that truly resonated with us. As seasoned New Yorkers, we’ve dined at many fine establishments, but this level of care and thoughtfulness is rare and deeply appreciated.
Eyval is more than just a restaurant; it’s a journey through Persian cuisine reimagined. Sharing this experience with my mom, whom I hadn’t seen in 8 years, made it even more meaningful. If you’re in Brooklyn, do yourself a favor and visit Eyval—you’ll leave with a full heart and an even fuller stomach.
The food was super amazing the mix of the ingredients between sweetness and sourness in the salad was phenomenal !!!! Even the main course was super delicious Best Persian restaurant in nyc i have ever try since 2019!!!!!! For sure i’ll come back again and again
Vegetarian options: They service and the whole staff was so good and helpful
I cannot recommend this more highly - amazing food, service and vibes. The mast o musir and personal sized barbari are delicious. The citrus date salad is so good I’m going to try to recreate it when I’m home. As a Persian it’s hard to beat my mom’s Ghormeh Sabzi, but this did (I’m not telling her though!).
incredible food. saffron martini is a must. bring someone you want to impress with how cool you are
