“I kept asking for the farsi names of the dishes (is this supposed to Gourme Sabsi? No waiter could help me) but had maybe the best steak of my life, better than any barg id get from a place like Ravagh.”

replying to u/bigb177: I will die on the hill of Tatiana being very overpriced and decent at best. Honestly, I don’t think it belongs anywhere near the top 20, let alone maybe even the top 80. Sofreh, on the other hand, I am so happy to see get as high as it is. That restaurant is running on all cylinders, and is easily one of the best meals I’ve had in NYC in years. Really happy for them.
“That food is spiced for people who think black pepper is too spicy, if you catch my drift. From the lamb to the chicken and many other dishes, the flavor is consistently noticeably absent.”

“Sofreh was possibly the worst meal I’ve had in my entire life. This was amplified by the fact that it took forever to make a reservation. Everything was really oily, service was terrible and even the drinks were bad.”

replying to u/goldenapple212: Sofreh has several delicious veggies. Dinner Party in Fort Greene, The Wesley in WV and Place des Fetes in Clinton Hill are all fun options with great veggies.
“Sofreh makes a salad with little gem lettuce, radishes, and dates in a tahini dressing and it is soooo good. Highly recommend!”
