"Sofreh is probably the best-known restaurant on this list, and for good reason. It's largely responsible for the recent rise in popularity of Persian food across the city, and it fully deserves the spotlight."
"When chef Nasim Alikhani opened the restaurant in 2018, it quickly earned a James Beard nomination, a nod to just how stellar the food is."
"Here, the mast-o-khiar gets a bit of a glow-up: reimagined as a strained yogurt and Persian shallot dip with chives. The Shirazi salad is spot-on and the ash reshteh tastes like a modern take on the classic, still deeply respectful of tradition."
"There's a Persian rice portion of the menu that begs to be ordered in full."
Eid in NYC is a vibrant celebration marking the end of Ramadan, while Nowruz signifies the Persian New Year.

Despite these challenges, they have established a notable food scene in Brooklyn, featuring a range of Persian restaurants. Sofreh stands out for its role in popularizing Persian cuisine, earning accolades for its innovative dishes that respect traditional flavors.
