I went here on a date, and it was sweet :) the server was so kind. The filet skewer was so soft, and really phenomenal. Also the cucumber mint sparkling cooler was delicious ? everyone was friendly.

First time visiting office in this building because of work - by the time I made it downstairs for lunch the cafeteria was already closed so I ended placing an order for take out at this restaurant.First of all, it looks very nice, perfect maybe to go with a group of friends, relatives or co workersEven if the place was empty when I entered, with only one couple at a table (it was after 3:00pm) they kitchen was still open.I ordered a chicken gyro, just because I really wanted to have a sandwich that day ? It came with two sauces and fries - I liked everything except the chicken (maybe the flavor Im not sure what exactly I disliked, just not my type of chicken)Other than that, they fries were really good, the veggies very fresh, the sauces really good too ??I will definitely visit again to try some other dishes and to take pictures of the place :)

Outstanding place with amazing food. You must try their hunmus. Out of this world! We love love this place! You can park in the parking garage behind and they will validate your ticket.
Quite upscale look with dining lighting and very easy style of wait staff. Menu was kabob focused. Could have included wider selection. The med salad was not special though fresh. The wine list was ok. The prices were reasonable for the area. Location made parking an issue. Ask for a banquet for a great cozy feeling. Recommend for a special occasion.

We went to Medi bistro to celebrate Navroz (festival of spring). The food is delicious! Especially recommend CHICKEN KOOBIDEH KABOB, SOLTANI KABOB and the SALMON KABOB. We had the ice-cream and rice pudding for dessert both of which were good. The ambience is really nice and the staff is welcoming. Overall a great experience and we will surely visit again.

We we went based on all the really good reviews but we came away disappointed. Service was indifferent, and the food was okay but nothing special. Not one of us finished our dishes, and only one person asked to get the leftovers to go. The restaurant itself is nice looking and we were very hopeful. But honestly nothing stood out except the warm pita bread, and we don't think we'll go back. Maybe we went on a bad night. Too bad because it seems like it has potential.

Overall was a good experience the ambiance was very nice and the food except for beef kobide was very good. Beef kobideh must have only ground meet, with ground onions and a little bit of salt in case but no other spices. The spices made the kobide taste terrible and my kids and non of is enjoy it at all. So please do and use the original recipe of any persian cusin specially for kobide to have better feedback.

Good food. But not quite as good as it had been previously. Just a few things that are off. For example had the same cocktail at restaurant a few years back - last time was served in a nice cocktail glass with a large ice cube which doesn't melt quickly. This time - drink not made as well, served in a water glass with small ice cubes which melt down quickly.

I’ve been in this restaurant before and this time I had my Italian friend with me. It was her first time in Persian restaurant. She love the food and the atmospheres. Service was phenomenal, and overall expectations were superb. We enjoyed everything and definitely will comeback.

Satisfies the Persian craving. Great apps choices. Really loved the dolmeh (grape leaves). Chicken kabob is so juicy. Love the barberry rice. Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed everything from apps to dessert. Service is super attentive. Beautiful place ... not too big ... not too small. Have been a few times and would patronize more often if lived closer. Will be back for sure! Highly recommend.
Great atmosphere and decor! Very welcoming staff. Service was amazing. Food was OK, some tradeoff between taste and healthiness. Overall, recommend it for family and friend gatherings.

Medi Bistro seems to get near-perfect ratings on several platforms. We didn't find it near-perfect, but we did find it excellent. The food was the highlight (the not-so-conventional menu gets particular note). Service took a little while to catch on but once it did, it was efficient and pleasant and certainly got the job done. The restaurant is nicely set up and appointed, and the acoustics are good. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves...

absolutely love this place! i am a regular as my building is attached to the restaurant. The owner is wonderful and the food tastes good (can be bland at times, just add salt honestly) and is the most authentic mediterranean food i’ve tasted in NY!!!
Medi bistro is our favorite Mediterranean/Persian restaurant in the area (we come down from CT). The food and drinks are always spot on and Par makes every customer feel like a guest he invited into his home for dinner. Don't forget to save room for the homemade Persian ice cream

Delicious food!!! Huge portions! We loved our kebabs. We tried various rice pilafs and all were fluffy and tasty. The service was very friendly. The owner was extremely welcoming. We will definitely go back.
