Walk past the Ravagh Persian Grill, and there’s a good chance you’ll see a relatively empty restaurant. Don’t be deterred. This Upper East Side spot makes some of the best Persian food in the city, like tender kebabs with just enough char, crispy whole fish with saffron rice, and herby meat stews. The tranquil room, outfitted with polished leather chairs and gauzy white curtains, is just formal enough to host a low-key celebratory dinner or share a meal with your parents. The portions are large, but you could also stop by solo for a lunch of lamb chops, with plenty of leftovers to take home. Because it stays pretty quiet, Ravagh is a great place to treat like an extension of your living room. They also have a Midtown location on Madison Ave.
