Food was amazing. The best Persian food I have had a long time. Portions are big and the price is good.

Excellent Persian food! We have eaten in Persian restaurants around the world and this is some of the best food... read more we've had. Meat is marinated to perfection - service is excellent. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to our next trip! read less

Ordered for the first time last week and it was AMAZING!!!!! We always order from ravagh and have tried a... read more few local Persian places, this is by far the most cost effective and delicious. The cucumber yogurt is good, but does have huge cucumbers. read less

Great food, great service! The cucumber and green sauce are fantastic poured over anything you order. The Lamb was perfectly... read more cooked and the chicken was spiced up so well. Plenty of complimentary pita to share with the table (I probably had like five pieces myself). Prices are very manageable. All around was very pleased! read less

Sometimes it's good to go with the instinct....and backed up by a quick look on google maps rating:-) Walking around... read more Park and lower midtown to try some pizza joints, I saw Miraj after having a slice at DJ Pizza. 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

Food was excellent, customer service is okay. They should be to more attractive and bubbly! Everything we tried was so fresh.

This place is great. Huge portions. Delicious/fresh food. Chicken was nice and moist (yeah people hate that word). Grilled vegetables... read more were nicely prepared. Big fan read less

I never ate inside the restaurant but have ordered food from them plenty of times and it's always been great.... read more The portion are generous, and the food tastes amazing. The staff inside is always super nice and welcoming when I go pick up my food, and the place is very clean. I love their kabab over rice and their soups do not dissappoint! read less

One of the best tasting kabobs I have ever had.
Portions were very generous too.
Best kept secret in Murray Hill.

I'm about to break it down for anyone reading these reviews! I've been coming here for the past 5 or... read more 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

Miraj Persian and Mediterranean grill was like a warm hug to the tummy's soul. I had the #1 lunch special,... read more 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

The meat was tender and juicy, the appetizers were the bomb and dessert with tea was a perfect closure to the evening.

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!

The pita here is the bomb (I think it's whole wheat). You get a choice of hummus or eggplant,... read more and a side salad, rice and grilled vegetables.
I got #1 char-broiled strips of beef (medium) and they were done to perfection. They also have a green sauce (my friend nicknamed it spicy chimichurri) that adds a nice kick.
For three of us, it came out to $14-15 including tax and tip, which is not a bad deal for Murray Hill. read less

Food and service was perfect! Definitely recommend this place for Mediterranean food.

I always get the chicken sultani or the beef. The meat is moist and delicious. They have different options of... read more rice white, brown and green.

I admit to not being familiar with the Mediterranean/Persian menu, but... read more I saw familiar items. I ordered a beef kabob with basmati rice. My husband ordered a gyro plate.

The food is very good. I don't think I've ever had a better kabob kobideh anywhere, for example. Prices are... read more typical for high-quality Persian food. Portions are large. Service is polite. The servers aren't chatty, though. Basically it's a family restaurant patronized heavily by Persians who know authentic food when they taste it. This restaurant is ALWAYS busy when we are there.
This restaurant may be Halal -- I haven't ever have checked.
Negatives:  limited street parking. Cash-only. You have to pack your own leftovers. read less

One of the best Persian foods in the area! We always order to go, which is always on point. Much... read more better than ravagh when it comes to flavor. read less

I stumbled upon this restaurant walking down the street from Starbucks, and decided to look at the menu. The first... read more 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

This place serves good quality Persian food. I have brought many friends from different parts of the world here and... read more they all like the flavor. service is also as accommodating as one could expect. the pricing is also very reasonable for New York.

The best Iranian restaurant in Long Island! I've been coming here for years and the food quality is what always... read more 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

Im Persian and this is the best Persian food in nyc. Hands down. The lunch special is great (chicken-joojeh) and... read more the hummus. Amazing staff and very generous with amount of food. Must try read less

A great place to stop in for a delicious lunch. 12.50 for beef or chicken kebab with rice, salad, and... read more hummus or eggplant.

Incredible Persian food! The lunch special is a great price for the amount of food you get!

I am Persian and grew up eating my mom's home cooking so I can tell you that this place is... read more absolutely delicious. My mom and I ordered a large entree and shared. We got one skewer of kabob barg and one of the chicken kabob with bones. I meant to take a picture but ate it too quickly to do so. The service was great too - very quick and friendly.

My Dad and I went here for lunch since the location is so convenient. I had the chicken soup and French fries because I was not very hungry.

In addition, the wait staff is very attentive so the service is excellent
Will be back. read less

Best chicken kebab barg, with the largest portions I've ever seen! It was crowded when I went but there was... read more a party happening in the back room. Even though you probably won't have room for dessert try the Persian ice cream! read less

What a little gem in the neighborhood! I can see this becoming our go-to-place this winter (an the rest of... read more the year, why not?).
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.

Wow! A great restaurant in midtown Manhattan that is very reasonably priced and also a BYOB! That is a rare... read more find. A lot of their business is take-out, but make no mistake.....it has a cozy interior to eat in as well, especially the back room. The menu is huge and the options varied.

It's always a pleasure to eat food from Miraj. Normally my friends and I order a combination platter with a... read more mix of all the grilled meats, rice and grilled vegetables.

My husband and I stopped by for a weekday lunch right around noon. It wasn't too busy until around 12:30.... read more 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

Great Persian food with good portions. They give you tea for dessert on the house. Love this place my favorite restaurant

Finally a spot in NYC that is good in taste and doesn't go overboard in terms of price.  Now, if... read more you are going on ambiance then this place may or may not fit the bill.
I tried soltani as well as chicken barg. In my opinion, both are recommended. They serve bread in the beginning so don't fill your stomach with carbs as their meal portion is good size as well.
If you are craving Persian food, highly recommend this place. read less

Had the beef kebab, well seasoned and delicious! Hummus is fresh, salad was delicious

Went here twice for lunch and the food was amazing. He place is very clean and elegant looking. The servers... read more were attentive and kept coming back to check in with us.

After eating 3 meals here, I just noticed "healthy" in the name. I definitely didn't feel like I was giving anything up but it makes sense that it's a healthy menu when you think about it.

Miraj Healthy Grill really seems to be a mirage, because so many people pass over this place like it's a... read more figment of their imagination. 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

The food here is amazing. Not many afghan places have authentic afghan food like this place does. Everything has flavor... read more 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

Amazing place. Always 100% satisfied with the food. The portions are huge and I always bring enough food home for... read more another meal. Definitely recommend this place.. the only Persian grill I've tried who serves brown rice. It is cash only but that's nothing to complain about when the food is worth trying! read less

Neither hip nor trendy, this is a local favorite for casual, top quality Persian comfort food at a great price... read more point.  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

Excellent Service and Delicious Authentic Food on a very busy Saturday eve! Arrived early because our group was coming from... read more 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
