Reviews
We ordered the dinner for two special, and it was well worth the price! The salad is so simple but with their special white sauce (I’ve never tasted another white sauce like this one, it has like a special tang to it), it tastes amazing. A fresh way to open your palette. The bolani (stuffed flat bread) and the badinjan (eggplant) was very tasty! Badinjan is my favorite, whenever it’s on the menu im ordering it. The naan was yummy too, tasted very fresh. The presentation of the qabuli palow (rice dish) and the combo #2 (lamb tikka, chicken breast, and kofta) was so beautiful. I love the rice, the raisins and other flavors were perfect. The combo was delicious as well, and perfect for me bc it allowed me to taste the different protein options instead of choosing just one. I loved our drinks as well. The black tea soothed my soul, you could taste the quality and it was served in a beautiful glass. And the pomango bliss (pomegranate mango juice) was also very tasty. The firnee (pudding) was good too, the flavors were very light and airy (kind of reminded me a little bit of rice pudding, the undertones of rice and the kind of gentle spices/sweetness typically paired with it).
Staff were very kind and attentive. I also noticed that they updated/decorated the interior (sorry I didn’t take much photos of that) but it looks very beautiful inside. The rugs, the upholstered chairs, artwork on the wall, and other decor really enhanced the experience. I love when people decorate a space with an intention.
Please do yourself a favor and try it out, you won’t be disappointed
This last time, I got the combo #4, which is my number one recommendation if you’ve never been here. Tender lamb chops, well seasoned chapil, lamb Tikka, and melt in your mouth chicken breast. It comes with a side of rice, but I recommend adding the rasins and carrots. Another must try if this is your first time here, is the lamb shank. Literally fall off the bone and just so much flavor.
I haven’t had anything here i didn’t like, but those would be my recommendations. If you need a small dish, you should also try the mantoo and the pumpkin.
The rice has such a fragrant aroma that will open up your appetite. Their eggplant is never bitter, and tastes just right–even to someone who isn’t a fan of eggplant. The aush is delicious. They put a homemade yogurt in it, but for some reason, it tasted cheesy to me. I really enjoyed their aush even though I typically don’t like homemade yogurt as it’s usually sour. The chicken tikka is super juicy and delicious. It isn’t spicy but you can add chutney if you’d like. The lamb tikka is flavorful without being chewy.
Their firnee has slivered almonds inside and is topped with ground pistachios and cardamom. It is thick and creamy, without feeling too heavy. They used to make sheer yakh (in house ice cream topped with rice vermicelli and ground pistachio), but they stopped during the pandemic. Now that’s something we will definitely miss! Definitely recommend this restaurant!
Funny enough I went with my husband to get the food and while picking up she gave my husband a free dessert and wished him happy birthday. Seriously the little things count.
Regarding the food , our family loves Choopan Grill and we always get the family meals. It never disappoints and we crave this biweekly. My mother that lives in queens requests that I bring it to her when we eat out and it still tastes amazing even after a 30 minute drive. The chicken is soft throughout, and the white and green sauce is phenomenal. I wish I had pictures but we destroy the food by the time we get home.
Must try!
