Reviews
I ordered one of the shabbat boxes- shabbat box one- advertised to feed 1-2 individuals for $89 including free delivery in manhattan. The number of dishes and portion sizes received was more than enough for 4-6 well balanced meals. Where to begin?
KOUBIDEH, JOOJEH SAFFRON CHICKEN, ROAST ONIONS- I wish you could smell
How amazing this meat smelled and tasted! The roasted onions were amazing as well.
EGGPLANT CARPACCIO- incredible- just look at the photos- the garlic is amazing as well- honestly my favorite dish of the whole day, I called dibs on the leftovers!
WHITE RICE & CHERRY RICE- more than enough rice for 6 meals!
KALE CEASER SALAD- very fresh and tasty
SHIRAZI SALAD- high quality produce
TAHDIG- sooo divine
HUMMUS- this hummus is SO flavorful with amazing garlic, zhoug, and crushed tomato
CHALLAH
– also not listed- but added on complimentary sauces and a generous portion of pickles and olives!
Order was delivered exactly on time and communication was easy, the employee I spoke to was professional and prompt. I cannot recommend Eshel more highly, I look forward to dining in person to try their lunch specials and other specialties!
The tables are perhaps too close together. The restaurant was not full and yet we were placed right between two occupied tables that were no more than 8 inches from ours.
The older members of our group were not keen on the noisy techno music but the younger ones were fine with the repetitive loud beat. All these issues are possibly just teething problems as the restaurant is relatively new. The menu was varied and quite original and many of the dishes were just perfect so it deserves praise for this alone.

“Incredible Food, Warm Service—Finally, a Modern Persian Spot That Delivers”
I’ve been to just about every Persian restaurant in NYC, and this is easily one of the best—fresh, modern, and confident in what it’s doing.
The koobideh and barg were excellent—tender, full of flavor, and cooked exactly right. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and nothing felt rushed or overdone. Just really solid execution on two classic dishes that are often phoned in elsewhere.
Dessert was just as strong. The baklava was crisp and balanced—not drenched in syrup like some places do—and the Persian-style tiramisu was a surprise hit. Light, not too sweet, with just the right touch of saffron and spice.
The space feels cool without trying too hard, and the staff couldn’t have been more generous or welcoming. There’s real hospitality here—not just good service, but people who care that you’re having a good experience.
If you’re looking for something Persian in Manhattan that actually feels fresh and different, this is it. I’ll definitely be back.
Average to low in food!
Tahdig was just some juice over tahchin and absolutely zero meat.
Drink was very low in alchohol but delicious.
Kabab was good meat but nothing close to koobideh. I would not go there again.
The menu is on the smaller side, but we found some gems. The Tahdig with Gheymeh was absolutely delicious — rich, well-spiced, and generously portioned (honestly, enough for one person alone). The Koobideh was decent, though oddly spicy, which is a departure from its traditional, milder flavor profile.
The biggest letdown? The cocktails. We ordered two and waited far too long — despite the restaurant being nearly empty. They finally arrived with our food, which isn’t ideal timing, and the taste was… strange. Off-balance, confusing, and far too pricey given the experience.
