Parisa Persian Grill — Restaurant in Ridgewood

It was a truly delightful experience. From start to finish, the flavors and presentation of each dish were impeccable.

For my appetizer, I indulged in the Tahdig with Gheymeh, and it was an absolute treat. The crispy and golden Tahdig perfectly complemented the savory Gheymeh, creating a harmonious combination of textures and tastes. It set a high standard for the rest of the meal.

There is a particular type of bread they serve with a table which mostly reminds traditional Barbari, and I liked it.

Moving on to the entree, I opted for the Koobideh Kabob, which did not disappoint. The juicy and flavorful ground meat, seasoned to perfection, was grilled to perfection. It was served with fragrant saffron rice and grilled tomatoes, adding delightful freshness. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness, and I couldn't help but savor every mouthful.

To end the meal on a sweet note, I chose the Faloodeh for dessert. The delicately flavored frozen rosewater and vermicelli noodles, topped with a tangy syrup, was a refreshing and light way to conclude the dining experience. It provided a perfect balance to the richness of the previous courses, leaving me feeling satisfied and content.

The service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant's ambiance, with Persian music playing in the background, added to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the presentation of each dish, as it truly elevated the entire experience.

I highly recommend this Persian restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and flavorsome culinary journey. Whether you're a fan of traditional Persian cuisine or simply curious to try something new, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu...

I don't recommend the Joojeh kabob (chicken with bone) nor the Gheymeh (split pea stew). Only the Barg kabob is worth trying.

We visited Parisa on a Saturday early evening. It wasn't busy but we were sited right in front of the counter with so many of the staff members standing and walking around us. At least 4 to 5 staff members were standing idle in front of the kitchen some staring at the customers. When asked for a different table more in the corner, we were told all tables were reserved, while they all remained empty for the entire 30-40 minutes that we were inside.

About the food, we ordered the tahdig and Gheyme (the split pea stew) for appetizers, the tahdig was okay but the Gheyme was pretty greasy and definitely not the best I've had.

For entre we got the Joojeh kabob (saffron marinated chicken) and Sultani (Barg and Koobideh kabob). The Joojeh was Cornish hen drenched in turmeric instead of Saffron and flavorless. The Koobideh was okay but the Barg kabob was perhaps the best part of the order, still greasy but nevertheless tender and flavourful.

I wouldn't go back to Pardis even if I lived nearby. Unfortunately, similar to other Persian restaurants in the North East, Pardis is branding persian food as inaccessibly high end food charging a pretty penny for relatively low cost dishes of small portion Kabob,...

Just got a call from the restaurant owner regarding the below review. He asked if I am ok. I asked from what aspect. His response: “I don’t know, you wrote to me an essay, are you alright“? I told him the review was not for him and I do not appreciate him patronizing me. His response: “you are harassing me, harassing my staff”. He did not have an explanation why he called me if I am “harassing”. He is aware I am sharing this experience as well. I have been enjoying Persian food for over 35 years. This is the first time that I pushed my food away and stopped eating. The ceiling above our table was leaking. When I brought it to the attention of the man in charge, he was not surprised and did not apologize. We moved to another table. The ceiling was leaking on the table next to us. When pointing it one more time, the owner said: “it’s not my fault the building is like that…”. I ordered my favorite dish- jouje kebab. The dish came out under seasoned, burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. They offered a few options of rice but failed to mention it is an extra charge. The owner saw how unsatisfied I was but ignored. He did not think to take responsibility for the very poor maintenance, food (overpriced), and the overall...
