A homey and friendly restaurant with superb Persian cuisine and very friendly attentive staff. If I were a NY local I’d be here at least once a week!
Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetable only dishes and if you know what to order you should be able to eat very well.

I’ve had Miraj’s Kitchen on my list of persian restaurants I’ve been dying to try for so long now, and finally had the opportunity to visit this absolute exquisite restaurant on a very nice chilly Tuesday night after for a little post long day dinner and what other way of relaxing and enjoying food than the persian cuisine
We were fortunate enough to walk in and find table despite us not making a reservation before hand.
I always tend to judge a place and how close to the home version of food is based on who is eating at the restaurant and when you walk through the door the entire place is filled with people eating of middle eastern/Persian decent, this tells me this place is gonna be pretty good.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a relaxed and inviting atmosphere; the aroma of classical homemade persian dishes filled throughout the restaurant making my stomach ache and crave some of the finest persian kabab! Overall very friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home.
I dived in real quick into the authentic and traditional homemade style stews and kebabs of persia with my friends as this was their first persian experience. After glazing around the menu for a couple of minutes, we finally we able to decide on ordering
I will have to say though that their joojeh was as fine as it got in terms of persian kabab, very soft, sweet, and tender as kabab should always be when made finely, so it really settled well on our tongues. The chicken had the best texture, very sweet and tender that just hadmelted it’s juices into your mouth, honestly one of the best finely crafted kebabs I’ve had in New york: the taste is still there I remember it to this day, but I can assure you when it came to miraj’s it was one of my favorite dishes that day that we ordered.
As for the fesanjoon especially had the most tender and mouthing watering texture that absolutely made your heart melt. Both lastly the ghormeh sabzi were served with rice: I’ve always been picking when it comes to fesanjoon as not all restaurants are able to create the nice balance of sweet yet sour at once. I will say personally i thought the fesanjoon was on the more sour side so just put that into perspective. But overall a absolutely mouth watering and kicking to the taste buds in a way I cannot express enough.
I’ve heard this comment multiple times by before who have been to Miraj’s, and I can say they really live up to it: their dishes really give you the homemade authentic flavor of the great persian empire. Miraj’s Kitchen has definitely raised my expectations towards the persian cuisine, I definitely look forward to coming back and having their dishes again again.
Lastly I’d like to highlight our very friendly and welcoming waiter, I completely forgot his name but he truly he was the kindest: very positive, inviting, and enthusiastic about answering ant questions I had about the restaurant+ helped with recommendations, meals he enjoyed, and everything! Very talkative and welcoming to Miraj’s, I really enjoyed having him as our waiter: would definitely ask for him when I come back again!
I even learned that apparently Miraj’s is Egyptian owned! Which was quite an interesting fact to me
I really do have to say that till now I’m astonished and appaled on their very low rating of 4 stars on google maps, this restaurant has to be one of the finer persian diners I’ve been to in new york city, If there were ten stars, I wouldn't hesitate to give them!
I’ve been to Miraj’s only twice so far, and I really can’t emphasize this enough when I say i really dish not get enough of their mouthwatering persian dishes. Overall, I cannot recommend Miraj’s enough - the atmosphere, the food, and the service were all top-notch. If you're looking for

You can call the food anything but definitely not Iranian/Persian cuisine. Ash reshte was horrible just a warm liquid with Chinese noodle. Kebab kubide was tasteless but more importantly nothing even similar to authentic kubide some wrong mix of Arabic Turkish kebab. Juje was also tasteless with firm meat.

They should correct the name of the cuisine to Arabic or at least oriental! It’s NOT Persian!!!! The staff were friendly and nice but the service could improve a bit.

I missed the uniqueness. The adana (minced beef kebab) was not as tasty as I would have expected, and lacking spices IMHO. The lamb kebab and the beef strips were better. Rice was okay. Am sure you can find better Iranian/Persian resto out there for a more outstanding experience as you would expect from such unique culinary food

Came all the way from Philly just to eat here! There aren't many good Persian restaurants on the East Coast, but this is definitely one of them!
We used to order from miraj last year then stopped after a while when we just didn’t enjoy it at one point due to flavors but I have no idea if they have a new chef or what has happened since we came back. Whatever the change was it’s amazing. This is the second night in a row we have been ordering and it’s absolutely delicious. Fresh and super tasty. Their portions are quite large and everything tastes delicious. The kababs are super juicy, fresh and tasty. The rice is fresh and delicious. It’s not often you get fresh rice when you order kababs and you can trust a Persian with their rice skills, this is phenomenal rice. You won’t regret ordering from them, this is hands down the best Persian kabab in nyc!
