Not many afghan places have authentic afghan food like this place does. Everything has flavor from the rice to the chicken to the lamb kabob. They charge a $3 extra fee if you want to substitute kabili palow instead of regular which is worth it. They also bring white sauce to your table which is amazing I love that.
One con would be that they don't take credit card. They claim they have a side on the outside but who's really looking at a small sign. So many side you have cash when you go here ! read less

The meat is moist and delicious. They have different options of rice white, brown and green. Also if you don't just want rice on your plate you can get half rice and French fries or vegetables.

I am a very picky eater, for some reference I am 20 years old and eat like a 10 year old child. My family dragged me in here on our NYC trip and I nearly stopped for a protest hotdog before I went in... but I'm so glad I didn't. The beef and the chicken were some of the most tender and flavorful meat I've EVER had. Both had amazing flavor and it was a tough call (I'm from Texas and love steak) but I have to say I think the chicken won my heart. Great atmosphere (there's even a fake tree with lights) + fast and friendly service. Don't pass this place up like I almost did. Oh and bring your kids or your own bottle because it's BYOB. read less

I've been coming here for the past 5 or so years and the foods only gotten better! Yes, this place is cash only but t hats probably the only drawback. Everything I've ordered from the menu has been delicious and so fresh. I usually come for the lunch menu and order "strips of beef" and ask them to prepare it medium rare and it always comes out delicious but I've had chunks of beef, Cornish hen, barg and everything's always been amazingly good. The lunch menu comes with a fresh salad as soon as you order, baba ganoush or hummus for your appetizer, your main entree, and it's topped off with some Persian tea. I usually opt for the baba ganoush but honestly I've never left disappointed. Even though I order from the lunch special, the portion size is huge and I often leave with left overs. When they serve the tea, they also bring sugar cubes that have saffron on the bottom of it so it gives a subtle yet delicious flavor. The white sauce is super thick and creamy and the green sauce is really flavorful- a tad spicy but it complements the food really well :)
If you're still reading, then you'll get my biggest secret on the menu -- the Persian ice cream!!! The yellow color may turn some people off but it beats any ice cream you've had. It's filled with saffron, rose water, pistachios. It's so creamy and not so sweet but very rich, in a good way! And you can definitely share it with someone else
Definitely try this place though because you won't be disappointed!! read less

I had the #1 lunch special, which was juicy beef, cooked and sliced to a quality generally reserved for gods who may then delegate it to their kings and many wives. No mere mortal should be privileged to dine on such delicacies, yet Miraj makes it available to the masses at a menial price of 11.50 before 3pm. The complimentary salad served alongside their house made dressing from a yogurt base, basket of hot and ready pita, with fresh, family recipe hummus only brings this already heavenly meal to another dimension. If you want an uppercut to the taste buds from the best Mediterranean cuisine on Long Island, come visit miraj and it's fantastic staff! You'll enter as a peasant, and leave a god! read less

I've also dined in once for dinner about half an year ago and it was an equally good experience. Again, large portions, adequate flavors, and pleasant service.

Arrived early because our group was coming from a distance to meet together midway. Snagged a lovely table for - six, and while we had to wait fifteen minutes for one couple to arrive, the wait staff did not hassle us, They were extremely pleasant from the get go, bringing us water, pita bread and butter and wine glasses immediately (it's BYOB). We ordered appetizers once we the others arrived - hummus, baba ganoush, samboosehs, shepherds salads. All delicious. While we were nibbling away they asked if we'd like to order. We did, but asked not to be served until we were finished with our starters. Then they brought salads for everyone with delicious white sauce on the side. We had a chance to sit for a few minutes and digest before our mains arrived; Lamb shank with Green rice, Kibbe Kobidehs, Chicken Sultana, Bronzini, Kebob Tikka. I had 1/2 basmati rice and 1/2 grilled veggies with mine. And I still could not finish all my rice! Everyone was very happy with the food. And then, after a short while they cleared our plates, asked if we'd like dessert (are they kidding, we knew about the Persian ice cream) and we did order desserts, coffees and turkish coffee. I had to quit after the Kibbe, but I had to taste the pistachio ice cream. HEAVEN! So all in all - a terrific meal. We were there just over two hours and all were delighted. read less

This restaurant is also generally busy with dinner orders over the phone so it is easier to order ahead on their website for me.
The restaurant's website also currently has a promo code for a discount!
The food here is always flavorful and the portions are great. We always have leftovers.
We ordered the salmon dinner, white fish dinner and Kabab Barg (sliced steak) dinner. The two fish dinners each come with the dill rice (my preferred rice here) and the beef comes with basmati rice. (Can substitute rice for veggies.)
Each dinner comes with pita bread and salad. I don't remember if their spicy green sauce comes standard so we always make sure to request it. read less

I've been coming here for years and the food quality is what always brings me back. My go-to here is the Lamb Kebab platter. I usually don't order lamb anywhere else, but upon my first visit here a friend of mine had me try it and I've been hooked since. It doesn't have that gamey smell which a lot lamb dishes do. The portions here are huge; you definitely leave feeling full. They have a great lunch special which includes an appetizer (eggplant or hummus) with your entrée. I would also recommend the Barg Kebab and Chicken Breast. Be mindful, they only take cash. Also, they have a large room in the back that can accommodate larger parties. read less

I mixed it with their spicy green sauce which tasted like salsa verde to me. Please try that and you'll thank me later! :) The staff was super friendly as well. Since we did bring a bottle of wine, there was a corkage fee. All in all, I can't stop thinking about that sour cherry rice with the spicy green sauce. I tried to order it for delivery during this quarantine time, but they don't deliver that far unfortunately. I will surely be back though!

I don't think I've ever had a better kabob kobideh anywhere, for example. Prices are typical for high-quality Persian food. Portions are large. Service is polite. The servers aren't chatty, though.

This restaurant may be Halal -- I haven't ever have checked.

What is even more appealing is that their waitstaff is fabulous - welcoming, accommodating, respectful. It's one of my roommate Marsha's and my favorite local restaurants. Because we like it so much, I hosted her 60th birthday party in their back room. Their staff helped me carry in wine (not on their menu but we were allowed to bring our own); decorations and a special birthday cake. Thirty people simply RAVED about the food. Among our guests were vegetarians, salmon lovers, lamb, chicken, beef and hen lovers. All were served plentiful portions - well seasoned. So yummy.

Lamb kabob with saffron rice served with a salad, plenty of dressing which is unusual for New York, and hummus with a little Olive on it. The only thing that was not perfect was the grilled zucchini was burnt to a crisp. I love zucchini. But that's really a minor problem. I'm sure I could have asked them to bring me another serving that wasn't burned read less

Perfect when you want something healthy, yummy, filling and casual but not in the mood for a chainy place (LPQ, Nanoosh, Fields Good Chicken).
We had the Chicken Breast Kebab, which comes with rice and a roasted tomato. You can substitute the rice for grilled veggies of French fries (I tried both and delish!). The chicken is marinated in bliss!!
Your tummy and wallet will be happy after this meal.
A plus: It's BYOB. So you can spice up a midweek dinner with your desired bottle of wine.
Another plus: If you work nearby they have a lunch special for $11.5, a steal in Midtown for this quality of food.

Baklava was so good and we also got a complementary amazing iranian tea.
Also they bring you pita bread and a delicious yogurt sauce.

We love that it's BYOB (a nice break from spending $15 for a glass of wine or $8 for a pint of beer). Large/huge entree portions. Some of the best tasting, clearly high quality and perfectly prepared meat we've had in NYC (and we are a foodie family!): melt in your mouth lamb kebabs, tasty lamb chops, tender chicken kebabs, rich and flavorful lamb shank. Free fresh pita with amazing white sauce (yogurt and dill base) and green sauce (cilantro, jalapeno and vinegar chutney like dip/sauce) - delicious sauces we put on everything. Other highlights: Panir Sabzi - salad of fresh basil, mint, tarragon, watercress, sliced radish, feta cheese and a few walnuts; Kashkeh Bodemjan - sauteed eggplant with a touch of yogurt. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Great place to go with family and to BYOB with a group of friends for a laid back comfortable dinner (unless you eat too much, which is hard to avoid). read less

I work a block away from here and none of my coworkers had heard of this place. Maybe it's the generic name or the unassuming storefront, but we've got a hidden gem on our hands.
The lunch specials here will fill you up with Mediterranean goodness for $11.50 (pre-tax/tip). You will get a LOT of food, including a salad, charred vegetables, pita bread, hummus/eggplant dip, and a mountain of yellow and white basmati rice. Seriously, if I had to make one gripe, it's that they give me way too much rice.
I've gotten the beef chunks and lamb kebab, which have both exceeded my expectations. The meat is juicy and expertly flavored. The meat holds its own, but can be bolstered with the green spicy chutney or its milder yogurt-based cousin.
If you're looking for a sit down dinner, this place has always had seating available when I went. I had their lamb chops, which at $20 for 6 pieces, is an absolute steal.
Service is attentive and the ambiance is conservatively festive, but really, you come here for the food. read less

I went for the early bird dinner special (4-6) which was nice because the entrees were discounted. I don't even enjoy Persian food all that much typically because I prefer my food on the spicier end, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the chicken breast kabob. I've never had chicken that juicy and tender, and seasoned so nicely! The rice was perfect too. The special came with salad and appetizer as well.
My only disappointment was the bread being a standard pita you get out of a packet. Would have loved an authentic Iranian bread to go with my meal.
The restaurant itself is a nice sit down with pleasant decor. I would bring a group or even have a birthday dinner here in the future.
Also, for Muslims, this place does not have alcohol on the menu. I consider that a plus when I'm dining halal! read less

It was mostly empty at 6:30 on Tuesday but the menu looked authentic. I ordered Beef Kobidah as I have been trying to make it at home with varied success and wanted to see how tender theirs would be. First pleasant surprise were two hot small pitas and although I had enough of carbs from the pizza, the hot and crispy pita was too tempting. A few minutes later came my order in a rectangular plate and serving size was more befitting for Texas than NYC. I thought there would be one piece but there were actually too long pieces. Quite a bargain at $14 but the home run was the taste and juiciness!! I guess I need to get back to the proverbial drawing board, ie, my kitchen and continue to work on my recipe:-)
Also tried their house Baklava, which was good and crispy, but I wish it was not swimming in the syrup. Turkish coffee at the end put a fine closing to a great meal. read less

The owner took very good care of us (my brother's friend is a loyal diner who treated us because clearly it wasn't because of me ) and the food has always been consistent and muy delicioso !!

The white sauce is always provided (which is hard to get enough of) and the rice is always on point (I don't think I've seen a broken grain). Whether it's the tanginess of the Zereshk rice (Translated : Persian Barberry), the Herbacious Persian Green Rice or the Classic white rice, it all compliments all of the various skewers of meat!

He place is very clean and elegant looking. The servers were attentive and kept coming back to check in with us. The first time I came, I ordered beef and it was well cooked; I had no issue. The second time, I ordered a different kind of beef and realized it was not cooked as well as I would've liked. I forgot to mention that I wanted it well done. I'm sure if I had asked them to cook it some more they would have but I didn't bother. Nonetheless, it was still good. I hope to come back.

I was in a big hurry and only had 15 min to get my food and eat so I asked what they had that was ready to go when I walked in. They said only the lamb shank so that's what I got and it was delicious! Luckily lamb also happens to be a favorite of mine so that worked out well. The early dinner special (from 4-6) came with salad, rice, grilled vegetables, yogurt sauce, pita and an eggplant ratatouille appetizer. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. The wait staff was quick and attentive too. A great experience overall. Only downside was that I ate too much because I had to eat really fast because I was in such a hurry! read less

It wasn't too busy until around 12:30. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. They have a great lunch special deal. My husband got the beef strips and I got the salmon. Both had a great char-grilled taste. For the beef, my husband had asked for medium rare and it came out perfect since a lot of restaurants tend to overcook the beef. The appetizers were great too. The pita was warm and the hummus was nice and creamy. My husband opted to pay $2 for the saffron rice which tasted delicious. I just stuck with the usual basmati rice and it was so good that we thought I had ordered a specialty rice. We def finished the meal happy and full here. read less

The first thing I noticed was that it had a really extensive menu, and really reasonable pricing. I decided to try it out, as I had not seen many Persian restaurants in this part of Murray Hill. I took an order to go and waited at the bar while my order was prepared. I got the sliced beef early bird dinner special, and it was a steal! It was tasty and really filling. I didn't expect so much food for the price, let alone such delicious food. The decor was really pleasant and relaxing, and I definitely want to come here again for dine-in, when I'm not in a rush. The service was quick and friendly, too. This is a superb addition to E 34th St. read less

We dropped by for an early dinner to take advantage of the Early Bird Dinner Special (16$ for an appetizer salad, small appetizer, entree and pita bread) so we could get to our 7pm show on time. I ordered the eggplant dip for my appetizer and my husband ordered the hummus. Both were deliciously creamy and very well seasoned. For the entree, I ordered the beef chunk brochette, which came with basmati rice and grilled vegetables (peppers, zucchini and yellow squash). The beef was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfectly done. My husband ordered the chicken brochette and the Shirin polo saffron rice, also served with grilled veggies (eggplant, zucchini and peppers). His chicken was tender and very flavourful, really delicious. The polo saffron rice was the star of the meal, both savoury and sweet, with a lovely punch of cardamom. I highly recommend it! Our food came with a basket of piping hot pita rounds, wrapped to keep them warm, which was a nice touch.
Overall, the food was delicious and the service was attentive and kind. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu's offerings! read less
